Protection, Love, Respect

Everyone in the world is focused on protection. They are absorbed in doing whatever is required to protect their lives from being destroyed by terrorists or others, yet they continually ignore many other threats that are much more likely to occur. People’s thinking has been so warped by the media that they have allowed fear of a vague threat to completely consume their lives. Instead of taking direct action in a variety of areas that would protect them from much more realistic threats to their health and well-being they hide behind a government that thinks that war and killing is the only way to protect its citizens. Realize that you can never depend on any material entity to provide protection, and especially not using the gross means such as guns and weapons. Instead take responsibility for your own protection by the way you live your life. True protection can only be provided by the creator of life. When you surrender to the Supreme then you will automatically receive full protection for your spiritual growth. Even in the material plane, the best way to protect your own life is to give respect and love each and every living being. When you have respect for others that positive energy will be felt by them. Love creates a wall of energy that even the most heartless of killers will not be able to overcome. Love creates an almost impermeable barrier through which animosity and hate cannot penetrate. When your love of others is strong enough it is almost like body armor in terms of protection. The difference is that this body armor allows the love of the other person to penetrate and bring you close but it doesn’t allow the negativity to get through. Form your own field of protection through your love of all living beings and you will never have to worry about your own safety.
