"You need to learn how to shield your mind, particularly if you are near a Greater Community presence." [1]
"Only the very adept can shield their own thoughts effectively from both mental and technological scrutiny. The Forces of Dissonance are not adept."[2]
"In the mental environment, to stop the penetration of a seer, you must create a shield; you must obstruct a seer’s intrusion with a counterforce." [3]
"You have not yet developed the ability to shield your thoughts, which will be necessary in the future if you are ever to compete successfully with Greater Community forces."[4]
"In the mental environment, you have to learn how to shield your mind. Others who have skill here are able to do this—to block intrusions, to block potent forces, to block thought forms that are projected at one and to maintain one’s awareness if one is being affected by technology, by forms of radiation, by scanning and things of this nature. In an environment of greater influence and greater deception, the need for Knowledge is even greater and more significant. As it is today, an individual from a Greater Community could simply dominate your mind. You would think what they want you to think. They would put thoughts in your mind and you would say them. They would stimulate your feelings, your desires or your fears, not by providing images, but simply through power in the mental environment. If you are able to have an objective experience of your mind, to realize that who you are is not your mind and to objectify your experience within your mind, you can resist these temptations. But you must have another foundation within yourself, a foundation of Knowledge. Then you can build a shield; then you can prevent penetration; then you can disassociate yourself from the part of your mind that is being stimulated." [1]
Hybrids
"Some could become wise seers. But it is their allegiance to humanity that will have to be fully established, and they will have to learn to shield themselves from the effects of the Intervention, which can influence them even if the Intervention is not present in the world. For in space, influence in the mental environment can accrue over vast distances. Once influence has been established, this can take place."[5]
Finding Personal Authority
"You go where life seems open and unshielded, where pain and happiness are sharper and much more clearly experienced. And yet, before long you find others who are venturing into that wilderness as well, and they are as uncertain as you, though they may not admit it."[6]
"As you seek for greater purpose, often as the result of personal failure, then something else can be given to you because you are laying down your shields.That is love. If you are terribly burdened, how can you be loving?"[7]
"We are adamant that students of Knowledge become very conscious of their influences.What is influencing you? Often this question is seen as a limitation of your personal freedom, but it is more a form of protection for you because as your mind begins to open, you become much more vulnerable. Here you are more easily persuaded, and until your powers of discernment have grown strong, you can be influenced in all kinds of directions.You are less shielded now.You are more open.Therefore, it is important that you become more discerning and more attentive."[8]
"Knowledge will shield you from all things of harm within this world and will provide a comfort and a stability that the world can never change."[9]
"You have a certain protected mental space, a protected mental position in life. Unless you yield yourself inappropriately, others cannot penetrate this. You could call it your personal space or location." [10]
Metaphors
"There are minds that are more powerful than yours. For this reason, you must learn to shield yourself when that is appropriate and open yourself when that is appropriate.This is a voluntary act. If you are completely open, well, you will find life to be very harsh. As you have skin and bone to protect your internal organs, you must have a shelter for yourself mentally. It need not be a prison house. It must be a dwelling you can enter and leave at will.Then you can use your emotions at will.They will not use you."[8]
