Protecting Yourself

I've begun to think for myself and not just repeat catch phrases and ideas from the latest New Thought guru or author. Well, that's not quite true. I've been thinking for myself for awhile, but haven't shared my thinking broadly (although those folks close to me get an earful!!). 

You know how so many of us like to put the white light (or even sometimes a golden light or a green light) around things for protection? Many of us surround our cars, our houses, and even ourselves with this light of protection. 

So here's my question: if there is only One Thing and that One Thing is God and It operates in and through absolutely everything and there is nothing else but God, and that God is a Power for Good, then what do we need protection from? The answer would be 'nothing.' 

Well, we might need protection from our Monkey Mind thoughts. But if we think that something 'out there' is out to get us or can hurt us or take something away from us, then that is our clue that we have completely forgotten that God is all there is (see paragraph above).

Maybe we need to start putting that 'white light of protection' around our limiting beliefs, our stories, our excuses, and the temptation of our Monkey Mind to stall and sabotage [tongue in cheek].

When our mindset tells us there is not enough, that others have something we want, or that having that 'thing' will make us happy and satisfied, we have turned away from Spirit and allowed ourselves to feel weak and vulnerable. We are indeed powerful when we unite with the One Power. Let's not forget that.

I've always been partial to a pink light myself because it reminds me of fairy princesses! Or is it that it reminds me of 'rose-colored' glasses?

Wisdom from Ernest Holmes

"We are powerful only as we unite with Power. We are weak when we desert this Power."  [Science of Mind] 

"The Power of Life within you is a spiritual power, able to bring to you permanent peace, increasing happiness and joy, and greater material abundance. These things that have made man miserable can be eliminated through the conscious use of this Power." [365 Science of Mind]
