But that protection only lasts for one night and if I forget to ask for that protection every night, the protection seems to vanish!
What is a about our Human existence that requires us to ask for protection on a daily basis?
In one of my dreams I was once surrounded by what I call "grey shadows". They are humanoid dark looking beings with no sharp or clear shape who have been visiting me for a while, always with the same goal - to instill pain and fear. As they were approaching me in that particular dream they were instilling fear and pain in me even this time. I was running through different options in my mind of how to handle this situation, but got more and more paralyzed as they were coming closer. The pain grew stronger and so did fear. Suddenly I heard a clear voice that spoke to me: "Call the angels." And that I did, and in an instant it got very bright and there was a laughter and silver sparks everywhere. The shadows disappeared in a moment and I was brought to awaken state. I opened my eyes and as I was lying in my bed in the middle of that night, I "felt" and as almost "saw" that the whole bedroom was bright and filled with that light, and I could still hear their laughter in my mind as they were there with me. As you can read in this story too, a call for help is what helped that entity in his difficult situation.
I think that if you forget to ask for help before you go to sleep, you can perhaps do it in your sleep too, if you remember it of course while dreaming?
What I think requires us, human beings, to ask for protection on a daily basis is that we are in the density of choice, behind the veil. The Law of free will "prohibits" positive entities to help us when we are greeted by negative friends. We have to choose to ask for their aid/protection.
I also believe that some of these greetings from our negative friends are not "fruitful" or "meaningful", but are there only to instill fear and pain. They see the light, they don't like it and they want to put it out, or turn it off or at least down. But of course, even these "meaningless" attacks have a purpose. Faith for instance has been discussed in this thread. And this is what Carla has to say about psychic greetings in A Wanderer's Handbook:
page 75 Wrote:When wanderers become aware of their mission and seek to do “light work” on behalf of the planet, if they are well enough in tune with the light to begin with, they begin to be a channel for a good deal of light going into the Earth planes, and they thusly attract the attention of “the loyal opposition,” as I often call those discarnate entities whose path is that of service to self. Such entities are drawn to the flow of light which the light worker is offering through its instrument, and wish to trap that light for themselves. If the light workers are proud of what they are doing, or if there is any distortion of truth anywhere in their offering of self as channel, the chance of attracting psychic “attack” grows. People standing close to the light in their work in consciousness may always expect occasional psychic greetings, for we are all human and prone to error.
page 77 Wrote:I have genuinely found reason for praise and thanksgiving as I work with psychic greetings. This is the key. Psychic greeting may bring mental, emotional or physical pain. It also comes with blessings in its hands.
I do not mean to say that psychic greeting is not sometimes alarming. It certainly is. There can be immense pain and staggering amounts of suffering in a greeting, and it can take many forms.
page 7 Wrote:Psychic greeting can take place within dreams as well as during conscious awareness. The typical time for such nightmarish dreams is the deep of night, at three or four in the morning. Initiation can bring about the same situation, of awakening in the night feeling attacked and hag-ridden.
page 80 Wrote:A word about initiation: like many terms related to the inner life and spiritual seeking, initiation is a fuzzy word. I am willing to leave the fuzz on it, rather than attempting to define more accurately those times of testing and trial that we receive as gifts from the spirit. Initiation occurs at a point when much has been learned. The catalyst has been taken and the responses have been those which attempt to polarize, to make some progress as a seeker of truth who knows herself. The learning wants to spiral ahead, and we feel ready. At that crux, there will often be a time of real inner challenge, complete with scary nightmares, odd visions, interrupted sleep and general spiritual malaise. I believe these are times when the spiritual part of self needs to be sure the previous learning has been well seated.
