Protection of Self

In the early hours of entering on to my spiritual path I had an extraordinary and painful experience. This seemed to coincide with a time after I had been reading some obscure ‘spiritual’ book loaned to me by a friend. The author had described in detail his extensive search for the Devil as he traversed on his journey through several countries over many years.  It was only the time when he stopped looking and rested for an evening in an old barn that he had let his guard down and the Devil appeared and swiped his head and removed half of his brain.  I assumed this was only figurative speaking but he also described himself as becoming spiritually incapacitated for quite some time because of this interaction with the Devil.

I set the book aside, thinking it was rather pretentious, and thought nothing more about it.  Several nights later it was only when I must have been drifting in a semi-conscious dream state that I was visited by a demon. My first awareness was of a vision of Death hovering in the entrance to my bedroom, and then immediately following this a demonic creature crawled out from underneath my bed, sinking its long, sharp talons into the middle of my back.  In my frozen sleep state I remember calling out to Archangel Michael for his protection but nothing would stop this demon from sinking its talons into my back no matter how often I called for help.  The pain felt so real as I continued to call for Archangel Michael to help me.  I could hear myself screaming in the mental body of my awareness but I was unable to manifest this into reality through sound from my throat. My fear was so great that eventually I was able to wake myself up and break through the barrier between the sleep state and full consciousness, and then I released a sound of pure terror.  I called again for Archangel Michael to protect me and was able to feel him remove the demon from my presence.

After sharing this experience with several other LUXOR Light workers I began to realise that I was being tested in the time I was starting to allow my Heart Centre to open.  Access to all aspects of the body, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, easily occurs through the Creation Centre which is at the back of the Heart Centre.  I realised that I had not been protecting myself strongly enough and that I had left myself psychically open to being attacked.  This then enabled me to apply a high level of protection that I surrounded myself with and took into my control.  Announcing The Lord’s Prayer is another powerful invocation which could have been used to protect myself from discarnate entities.

As we begin to enter our spiritual path our vibrations and energy fields rise and produce higher levels of light. We become more vibrant and visually easier for these negative entities to see us, so establishing a form of protection for ourselves is extremely important. This is something I learned the hard way. :)

Beginning the Journey

When I first began my spiritual journey more than twenty years ago it was initiated because in some core part of me I felt that there was an emotional void in my life, even though I was in a strong relationship with my husband. I felt a deep inner yearning but not anything for which I could identify a specific need. My family hadn't had a religious upbringing and in fact I had never entered a church until I was part of my sister's wedding when I was 21. Prior to this occasion the only religious information I had encountered was a beautifully illustrated picture book which my mother had provided and which included many stories from the bible, and a year of scripture classes at school.

Eventually there came a time when I became aware that for some reason I needed to make a connection with God. Attempting to appease my yearning at this point in time didn't continue for long as I again became embroiled in drama which my Ego-Self created to prevent me from recognising the illusions established as part of the 3D existence.  It was only after my beautiful angel (son) was born that I decided to seek more spiritual guidance. I joined a friend at her church and willingly made my communion with God. The Pastor's wit and humour was enjoyable as he brought the Gospel in to the 21st Century setting. It was only when I was required to commit to a study group and read sections of the early scriptures that I began to question the dogma being presented. My final rejection of this aspect of religion occurred when I was expected to accept that my son had been born of Original Sin. How difficult was it for me to feel obligated to accept this requirement when I could sense the presence of pureness existing deeply within my child? This initiated my final decision to close my religious aspect of Heaven on Earth.

Another friend had recently become committed to religion but his interpretation of the Bible was based on God choosing to smite all Heathens to ensure that they were unable to enter Heaven. His beliefs were based on prophecies written in the Old Testament. My belief was, and still is, that God/The Creator is Love and He/She does not judge or choose one group of people in preference over another, whether they believe in a Supreme Being or not. This belief does sit more closely with the New Testament but the whole interpretation of these concepts confused me so much that I was unsure about where I could turn to continue on my path of righteousness.

It wasn't long after this that I happened to be driving home late one night and listening to the radio when the host began to conduct an interview with Bishop John Shelby Spong. It was fascinating to hear this gentleman of the cloth question beliefs of the Bible surrounding the conception and birth of Christ. His book he was promoting was, 'Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism'. The next day I bought myself a copy of this book and read it from start to finish several times.

Spong's research and postulations from these findings resonated deep within me. My knowledge and understanding of his interpretation of these concepts provided me with a feeling of freedom and rejoicing. It was the sense of  being uplifted that enabled me to move beyond many of the fundamental concepts that are included in the Bible. I was again questioned by another religious mate as to whether I was just going to take out the good parts from the Bible and ignore the punishment and smiting that would be wreaked upon my soul if I chose to do this. My response was - "You bet!"

This became the beginning of my path on my journey towards enlightenment.
