How can you guard something you cannot see or touch? Your soul is your individual spark. It is the part of you that does the seeing and discerning. Without it you would be a robot; a dutiful machine: predictable, controllable and redundant. There is no substitute for individuality. If you do not have it, you are a semi-conscious automaton. This is why the soul must be protected and nurtured at all times. It is easy to lose yourself in this dizzying culture of violence, sex, consumerism and death. And, yes, they are all glamorized, from the entertainer who dies young from a drug overdose to the terrorist who is transformed into a global superstar. This culture has no morals: its gods are money, power and thrills. Sadly, the sufficiently guarded soul is the exception, and protecting it can be quite difficult. Guarding the soul requires an upstage of the body. The body is concerned with its own survival. But it is also driven to pursue addictions until its own self-destruction. It is a machine. However, to guard the soul you must not step into the back seat of your own vehicle. Allow the weightlessness of your thoughts to navigate the vehicle. Never forget that no matter how insignificant your thoughts may seem, they are actually extremely powerful. Wrong thoughts lead to wrong actions. Wrong thought processes lead to wrong conclusions. Go within and determine what is right for you. What propels you in your quest to master your own body? What thoughts and actions sink you further into depression and shame? Pay attention to your dreams. Sometimes dreams can symbolically show you astral attacks and/or hidden attacks in your waking life. If dreams show you that someone in your waking life is attacking you, and the information seems to have some relevance, it might be a good idea to limit your contact with the person. We live in a world where people are more concerned with appearances than what is under the surface. So someone who on the surface is nice to you, could be attacking you behind the scenes. Have you ever felt drained or acutely unhappy after being in the presence of certain people? Have you ever been in the middle of a conversation and found yourself distracted by going through options in your mind of an early escape? People who evoke these kinds of emotions in you are stealing soul energy from you. They do not know what they are doing consciously, but you know how you feel. And after a while you no longer know who you are because you are too busy recovering from soul energy depletion. Protect your soul by making the difficult decision of severing ties with people who do nothing but make you doubt their intentions. In this society you are expected to be a dutiful student, consumer, friend, colleague, relative. No one tells you to guard your soul. You are forced to venture on your own into the esoteric realm to learn about soul energy theft, psychic predators and the possible loss of a soul while one is still living. The most important thing in the world has been pushed to the background, but it is our duty to diligently drag the soul back to the front seat. In essence, guarding the soul is constantly being the soul.
