RE: [ET2] Vortexes and shields, was ET and Migraines...

I completely agree with your metaphor on the shield thing Silvia, and you
are the first person I've run across to state it this way.

I've always found it odd that in the grand scheme of things, some feel we
were not born and provided with everything necessary for our physical and
energetic well being. But then, I don't really see auras as some do....and
mabe I'm missing something....

Everything is a mental construct anyway...as far as I can see. And if one
surrounds themselves with a shield of protection, it feels to me that they
are also putting up a wall. I've always felt that.

What I do...is fill myself with light...(a mental construct ) which leaves
me 'open'...and I rely on the verse.."where the light is, there is no
darkness".... Nobody has ever been able to convince me that we need
shields" of protection...

works for me...:)

I'm not sure about vortices and shields being polar opposites but
the idea of shields to protect from harmful environments - let me
rephrase that. The idea of shields to protect *a hurt, injured,
new or developing system* from whatever environment is of course
very good indeed and has come up numerous times interestingly in
the PS concepts.

In PS, there exists the notion of a greenhouse which you use to
regulate temperature, rain and sunlight in order to protect an
emergent system to the point of - yeah well, emergence.

I believe that the active use of shielding is very valuable *if*
it is considered to be an interim measure only as one re-learns to
process the energies correctly and not as a glass tower to spend
the rest of one's existence in.

I don't put this forward often or as a matter of course because
the act of creating shielding is often such a peaceful and
detaching experience to a harrassed or hurt individual that unless
they are really committed to development, they will simply remain
there with a big sigh of relief - and that is a very dubious
outcome IMHO which in many ways is worse than just suffering out
in the open and doing the best one can with external environmental
control - such as avoiding people and substances and situations.

As long as you are out in the open, you at least have the chance
of the odd lightning strike or watching a falling star to make a
wish upon, or an ice-cold shower of rain to wash some sense into
you at random :-)

Which does no longer happen inside the glass tower and
represents, once again, a trap to development if it isn't handled
correctly.
