| Shields can be somewhat complicated. Certainly, there are some
"generic" shields that will keep out most of the things that are
bothersome. You can shield against specific things - spirits (of
some particular type), or energy attacks, or telepathic
bombardments of any kind, or someone else's spellwork which you
don't want that has been or may be cast on you. HOWEVER, with the
specific shields, they won't help against something else. For
instance, if you've set up shields against "evil spirits", and
you're hit with some negative spellwork or a "neutral spirit" comes
to take something, you're defenseless! You must perfectly ascertain
all of what is attacking you (and the attack may be coming from
several sources and types of sources at once), and perfectly
predict what could attack you or will. These are not one of my
favorites in most cases. More general ones are in order. They can
be more or less effective, depending on what you need at a
particular time. But, as in all things, there are downsides to
keeping up very effective shields. Consider how you would like
living in a bank vault! No one could get to you, but neither could
you get out to enjoy yourself, get what you need, and no one would
help you. There is also a level of energy involved in maintaining a
shield. Too much and the shields themselves will drain you! You've
got to power them from an outside source, and an ethical
one. |

Specific Directions
Possibly the most generally useful ones to keep in
place around you are the "parabolic mirror" variety. Visualize
parabolic mirrors all around you. Anything that is directed to you
is concentrated and sent back. This is even more than "threefold
Law" coming back to them. I have honestly heard of people who
psychically attacked someone, and having this concentrated form of
their own energy returning, say that the person who they were
attacking was attacking them! The problem with these is that if
they're in best order, blessings won't get through either. Another
way, and possibly more basic, is merely a boundary. It can be
around you, around your home, around your circle, or around
anything else. These have the effect of a "cheap" lock to put on a
door. It'll keep out those who may just be curious, and confused
people, but it will not keep out anyone determined to get in. I've
put these inside the parabolic mirrors, for an added degree of
safety. The more you're doing, psychically, socially, or
politically, the more enemies you'll make. Even if you're doing
only good work, and you are universally loved by everyone you
contact, there are repercussions on the psychic level. The more
good you do, the more of a threat you are to the powers of evil!
They WILL try to stop you, through any means at their disposal, and
they are not bound by ethics at all! It's like if now you've got a
professional burglar or a professional hit been called out on you.
Ordinary door locks will not stop these people. They ARE bound and
determined to get in. You can get some good hints that you are
under a psychic attack. You'll feel it consciously and
unconsciously. Nothing may go right for you in your waking life,
your dreams may be filled with nightmares, and others just don't
like being around you. If you are under a psychic attack from
someone or something, you can put up a "wall". Envision it as
black. It's made of the same sort of "stuff" on a psychic level
that black holes are made of at the physical level. They grab
everything, nothing gets in or out. The problem with these is that
they scare people. They'll see you as "black". Nothing they send
you has any sort of energy return. You seem to be "taking" energy
and not giving it back. Likewise, these shields will have a
tendency to drain you. If you try, even unconsciously, to "reach
out and touch someone", that energy will be absorbed to, and you'll
get nothing back. So, shield from the shields! All you have to do
with these is to put up the "boundary" type shields - or a docile
circle if you like, around the outside of the shields or inside the
shields. Another way is that you can put some specific holes in
these shields. They are a "link" you've left between you inside the
circle to someone or something outside the circle. You want it to
be able to enter when called. Consider this like a stone wall but
with a metal pipe through it, to a specific person or place. Or,
think of it like a person to person phone call. No one else will be
able to enter this way. This is advanced stuff here, but I'll put
it out anyway. There are ways you can put some "intelligence" into
your shields. The shield itself can determine friend or foe, good
energy that you want or need from bad energy that will harm you.
Heck, you can even put up enough intelligence to determine the
intent. There's a big difference between being a target of a
prosperity spell when you don't want that type of prosperity the
person has in mind, or a healing you may have asked for but a
deeper level does not want, and someone trying to throw a
tanglefoot charm or grand bewitchment on you! These can be set up
to send back the energy, concentrated, add energy of their own (the
shields themselves!), to let through things you do want and need
given for the right reasons, or to just absorb the general garbage
that comes your way or positive energy or spells sent for the right
reasons when it's something you really don't want or can't use. The
only way that I'm aware of to put up these "intelligent" shields is
to both get the aid of a god or goddess, have them set up to work
24/7, whether you're awake or asleep, and to link them into your
own psyche and spirit. The energy for them, the power to return the
attack on negative energy, all comes from the divine. They don't
DRAIN you the way it does to keep up the "black hole" type shields.
They also let through what you want, need, or can use. If it's
something you don't need that was sent benevolently, it still sends
back a blessing to whoever sent it. If the "invaders" are conscious
entities, rather than unconscious energy, it will do things
specific to them. Are they "neutral spirits" just looking for a
handout, or are they truly "evil spirits" trying to stop you from
whatever good you're doing?!? The nice thing about these are that
"you" don't have to know. |
