What Makes the Protective Prayer Effective? Question: What
actually happens to make the Protective Prayer effective? Richard: There
is no precise analogy, but it is similar to sending a radio signal and having
it jammed by a stronger signal on the same wave length so the intended
receiver cannot pick up the message. This “jamming” is done by Higher Beings
when They are asked to do so. They jam the attempts of lower entities to
telepathically contact an incarnate individual. You are entitled to that
protection at all times, and you normally have that protection without ever
asking for it because of a screen maintained by the Archangelic I-lost
between astral and incarnate Egos. Even if you didn’t know about Christ, you
would still have that protection, but if you are feeling hassled by life or
feeling dejected, then these are the times when you put yourself on the same
wavelength as lower entities and become susceptible to interference from
them. During the times when you feel emotionally upset without apparent cause
or are experiencing nightmares, then you are probably being pressured. Under
such circumstances you should say the Protective Prayer and you will receive
immediate relief. Yet, sometimes emotional tones and moods are hard to
overcome mainly because you have built them up for days or weeks; and while
you are protected from outside interference, you still have to work your own
way out of your moods. (11-1972) Question: How
long does the protection last? Richard: Anywhere
from days to seconds depending upon what your mood is. If you say the Prayer
and then are fearful that it will not work, then it would be good for only as
long as you are saying it. The casual, half-hearted, prayer repeated from
memory without thinking about its meaning and content has much less
effectiveness than the emotionally stepped up or urgent plea for protection. (11-1972) How Does the Protective
Prayer Work?
Question: If
somebody says the Protective Prayer when they feel like they’re being
harassed by negative spirits, and after saying the Protective Prayer the
negative influence disappears, how does Christ or one of the Brotherhoods do
that? Richard: I
have always used the analogy of jamming the signal of the negative entity.
The negative entity is sending a mental projection, and somebody in the
Brotherhoods or higher up can block that by sending a stronger signal. Question: They
send an image of Their own? Richard: I
don’t know about images. They just block the other image or projection. Question: But
that takes a present-time conscious effort by that Higher Being. Richard: Yes,
right. Question: They
could be very busy at the time. Richard: There
is a lot of very busy negative entities, and it takes a lot of efforts to
keep blocking them so long as a recipient wants them blocked. Some people
sink into acceptance of negative images, and they are not asking for
protection. So the negative entities just continue to have their images
received. (08-2001)
