Question
Why am I so afraid of succeeding? A part of me is still so reluctant to give up being sick. I am afraid to study, afraid to lose weight, afraid with work... Part of me likes being angry. What can I do to clear this?
- Laura, Australia.
Answer
You are describing the self/ego in all its glory. It is very hard to break the patterning, because it has been going on for incarnation after incarnation. However, it can be done. You need to discipline yourself into NOT giving the self/ego power, say an affirmation to change the energy such as "I let go of all fear and make intention to be well and healthy as each day goes by." Be also aware of what you are doing and saying when the self/ego is there and make a decision not to give in to negative thoughts and actions.
Question
Teacher, I am so appreciative of your advice and ask this question as I am genuinely confused about this issue. I am regularly advised that I should 'ground and protect' myself daily. However, I do not feel the need to do this or indeed do anything that might be deemed 'ritualistic'. Deep down I feel that such rituals are outmoded and not necessary to me as I feel that a simple, trusting, loving approach is sufficient in my spiritual search. I do not feel the need to block negative energies/attacks. Is this my ego self speaking? Should I be heeding their words?

Answer
Even my channel and her husband need to ground themselves daily, not to ward off psychic attacks, but just because they are so high in vibration, they find it hard to stay earthed on the earth plane. This IS your self/ego speaking. Once you are grounded, you will find you will be able to function more on a spiritual level on the earth plane, than you normally do. The reason why one protects oneself is becaue their are earthbound energies wandering around, and often because of your light which shines out of your being, they are attracted to you and can become a nuisance if they do. By asking for protection, and my channel does this before any spiritual work, those in our world can protect her from these energies, and a barrier is erected to do so. She can then get on with her work without distress or problems. I cannot tell you what to do, but grounding is important if you are on the earth plane.
Question

Answer
This is a very complex question and cannot be answered in one question. When my channel returns to Seattle, I will write an article with her on this subject for future publication in this e-zine.
