Why do we have to ask for protection daily?

[Patrick]

If you are sky diving do you put a parachute on because of fear?

Wait, fear would keep you from doing that in the first place.

But that's like bicycling without the bike. We can parachute without a helmet though.

The other time occurred during the middle of the night when I was woken up in a fear and panic to feel something rushing towards me. I felt myself become overwhelmingly flooded by a disruptive, uncomfortable energy thar sent my system haywire, and it was all I could do to shout mentally "Q'uo help!" Or "Latwii, help!" They buffered me against the ravaging energy and the presence moved out of my field and directly in front of my face, focusing intense hatred and anger towards me. With the protection, I had the space and peace of mind necessary to practice love and acceptance of this entity. Nothing was there physically except an unmistakable presence. And when I closed my eyes, I could see a very, very bright light with my third eye...

That's pretty much how I get psychic greetings too. Except that now when they enter my fields, I feel much less fear than before. I simply know that I am protected by love.

Another option is that you are supposed to get the greetings so that you process some of the fears you have repressed.

Please explain what you mean by processing fears. I am imagining that you mean to think or feel them without attempting to protect or defend against them, simply accepting them as part of everything, which is ok.

You are already protected by love and nothing can harm you. So you let the fear go. Easier said than done, but the more you do it the less fear you have each time.

On the STO path, you can still evolve while having much more distortions than on the STS path, simply because you can rely on other selves to fill in the gaps of your self.

Had to respond to this notion. Others don't fill in your gaps - that'd be an infringement of free will and diminish ones contribution to creation. "It is impossible to help another being directly. It is only possible to make catalyst available in whatever form, the most important being the radiation of realization of oneness with the Creator from the self, less important being information such as we share with you."

Even in STO, you can't surrogate your evolution. Not asking for help is not a STS act, it's taking some degree of responsibility for your self (we're already borrowing just about everything *except* what we manage to create) when there is a choice in the matter. Offering help is indeed a STO act (whether or not it is wise or acceptable or useful to another). Accepting help is either STS or STO (whether or not it is wise or acceptable or useful).

It is possible to help another being directly IF they directly ask for this.

Probably just a question of semantics, but here is what I meant.

72.7 ...We may note that such a configuration of free will, one-pointed in service to others, also has the potential for the alerting of a great mass of light strength. This positive light strength, however, operates also under free will and must be invoked. We could not speak to this and shall not guide you, for the nature of this contact is such that the purity of your free will must, above all things, be preserved. Thus you wend your way through experiences discovering those biases which may be helpful.

"...Others don't fill in your gaps - that'd be an infringement of free will and diminish ones contribution to creation..."

Since there is only One, when we are in veiled 3d, there is much more of our Self in other Selves than within the aware Self that we think we are.

What about the "one hundredth monkey effect"? I understand this to be the idea that as more and more of us units who comprise the mass consciousness reach a certain level it becomes easier and easier for others in the group to experience that same level. Do you have any comments or thoughts about this idea?

Probably and this only makes us more aware and so more aware of our Self in others. But my meaning is more that we are infinity and that here in veiled 3d we are only aware of an unimaginably small part of who we are. This aware 3d Self and the rest of Creation is One. So that is why I say that much more of our Self is in others.
