Summary of Page
The emotional basis for self-protective psychology centres on the concept. That the predominant emotional driver behind self-protection is fear, particularly the fear of the ego losing control. Self protection psychology leads to a significant loss of intimacy and emotional connection with others. As individuals become trapped in psychic barriers. That inhibits love and authenticity.The real threats lie within oneself rather than outside. And this internal struggle often manifests through the projection of personal limitations onto others.
True emotional growth requires one to embrace vulnerability and accept personal responsibility for feelings and reactions. A contrast is drawn between a life of private, limited consciousness. And one of openness that fosters genuine intimacy and connection. Ultimately, overcoming fear is by accepting vulnerability as a pathway to spiritual growth and deeper relationships. It highlights that every relationship reflects one’s energy pattern, and every experience can become a means for spiritual expansion.

The Emotional Basis for Self-Protective Psychology Is Fear
There are two choices in our fundamental attitude or approach to life: to be open and vulnerable, or closed and protected. When choosing the self-protected approach, one lives within a self-protective psychology pattern. Sadly, most of average humanity chooses to live this way. So, our first question is: why? After some thought, we can see that the only aspect seeking protection is the ego, with its personality limitations. Consequently, it becomes clear that the emotional underlying basis for self-protective psychology is fear. Which is naturally a fear of the ego losing control over the entity.
Self-Protective Psychology and Loss of Intimacy
However, the downside of implementing the need for self-protection is a loss of intimacy. This means a lack of feeling close, emotionally and spiritually connected, and supported by others. Being open and vulnerable, or living within self-protective psychology, is the one choice before us all.
However, the soul needs no protection because it is infinite. This leads us to the timeless wisdom that a soul can exist without an ego. But an ego cannot exist without a soul. Right here is the basis for the entity’s entrapment in illusion. Because the individual concerned thinks that the potential threat can only come from outside the self. However, the real threat is only ever within the self. Associated with the self-protective psychology pattern are psychic barriers, which do not protect but imprison us within a psychic bubble. These barriers are indiscriminate and keep out what you would like, particularly love, as well as the perceived unwanted energies. To quote the guides: “Do not throw out the baby with the bathwater.”
Projection of Your Limitations
In particular, these barriers will interfere with soul light illuminating your own lower personality. When a person feels irritation from a perceived threat, there will usually be a reaction to the unwanted energy. Instead of accepting full responsibility for your emotions or feelings in the first place. And then formulating the correct response, there will be the usual projection of your limitations onto another. Like a squirrel in a cage, the source and solution to every problem are only ever within the self.
So we see an individual putting out into the universe a dysfunctional, ego-driven frequency. That will return through the people in that person’s circle of concern. The individual does not accept responsibility for this. Resulting in attacking or running away from the people who are delivering a personal message. All irritations are signposts to where there is a need to recreate yourself. The choice to ghost another is the ultimate denial of personal responsibility.
The most important step in anyone’s life is to open yourself to receive. Until you do this, it will be business as usual. With all the natural consequences of living in this pattern, which is essentially separation consciousness. When we make the choice to love our brother. We are simply loving another aspect of ourselves. This does not mean that we need to like everyone. But it does mean responding to needs, which is love in action.
Soul Light Influence
Always keep in mind that everything you give out to others comes through your being in the first place. If there is a rejection of any particular energy that we have given out. Then we need to be happy to receive it back again. In passing, we can acknowledge that not everyone likes what they need. Therefore, anyone who is under the influence of intense soul light will either change in consciousness or run away. It is simply too uncomfortable to remain in this situation otherwise.
When an individual makes the choice to walk the path of greater consciousness. The first step is to accept 100% responsibility for your emotions or how you feel. Regardless of what anyone outside yourself is doing or not doing. In this way, you can work out your own limitations. Insight meditation ability is the conscious process of increasing soul light energy in your life. In this way, you become consciously aware of your own lower personality limitations. Which you keep in check by the power of your soul. Maturity in meditation practice removes psychic barriers. In this way, you see your own personality limitations clearly. And can consequently remove them from your being with clarity of awareness.
Self-Protective Psychology and Remaining Entrapped in the Wheel of Rebirth
We can state categorically that anyone who chooses to stay within a self-protective psychological pattern. Will remain within the wheel of rebirth, which is sad but true. To be open and vulnerable is to be open as the sky. Which is a pathway into increasing levels of consciousness. To be closed and protected is to remain in the pattern of illusion. This essential choice defines everyone’s future.
In other words, this is the choice between being a private individual who is living within serious limitation. Or being an open and vulnerable individual who is expressing higher consciousness. And is fully aware of the interconnected nature of the universe. Perhaps we should keep in mind that it is only by choosing to be open. That we may cultivate the prospect of achieving real intimacy with others. As there is an unrestricted, free exchange of energy.
Being Open and Vulnerable to Achieve Real Intimacy
Anyone who chooses to live in private individual consciousness knows nothing about intimacy. Which will lead to the usual feelings of isolation and insecurity. In its most severe form, there may be suicidal tendencies, as the person in question feels that no one cares. This, in itself, is only a reflection of that particular person’s attitude toward the world. Our life experience is only ever a mirror of our own unique energy pattern in the first place.
When living within the self-protective psychological pattern. The only person being fooled is the particular person who has chosen to live this way. You can never hide anything of value from those who have the eyes to see. So what is the solution to this problem of entrapment in illusion. With its consequence of remaining in the wheel of rebirth. Which you create with this particular attitude pattern in life? Firstly, you need to recognize it for what it is. Then you need to see that fear is only a mirage that you need to walk through. Lastly, have the courage to be truly and completely vulnerable, and then accept all the consequences that will arise. Consequently, you will use every experience as an avenue for spiritual expansion.
Accept Hurt Feelings to Transcend Personality Limitations
Having hurt feelings at times is the sacrifice. That we all need to make to cultivate real intimacy with family members, friends, acquaintances. And even people we meet for the first time or strangers. In any case, what does it matter what others say about us? It is only the relationship that we have with ourselves that has any lasting importance. The alternative, with a self-protective attitude, is to feel weak and insecure with every little critical comment presented. This means that we all need to accept the possibility of hurt feelings in order to transcend our personality limitations. This sacrifice is more than worth it, as it enables us to create quality intimacy within ourselves and with others. Correct application of discipline to overcome personality limitations is the only pathway to freedom.
Above all, avoid the victim psychological pattern, as you can only be a victim by your own consent.

Today I will like to talk about self-protective psychology. There are two choices in life, which to be open and vulnerable, or closed and protected. When choosing the protected approach, this will mean living within a self-protective psychology pattern. Self-protection creates psychic barriers and leads us to live within a psychic bubble, which is indiscriminate. You keep out love as well as unwanted energies. This psychic barrier bubble of resistance also keeps communication from your own Oversoul. From entering your brain consciousness and illuminating your own lower personality. Therefore, you remain unaware of it, which creates sabotage situations, or self-sabotage, in your life.
This is separation consciousness, which leads to conflict. Because you are unconscious of how your lower personality nature is sabotaging the dynamics of your relationships with other people. The alternative is unity consciousness, where you create harmony and intimacy. However, to enter that situation, you need to be completely open and vulnerable. We need to be prepared to see everything that is available and present. Certainly, when you are open, you can experience painful conditions. We need to accept this, accept responsibility for any pain we feel. And see it as a learning experience through which we can learn about ourselves. Recreate ourselves, and in fact become stronger people. Self-protection is the pathway of limitation and remaining within the wheel of rebirth. Being open and vulnerable is the pathway of expansion and release from the wheel of rebirth.
Common Meditation
Serious meditation is the fast track to spiritual expansion. It does not matter which meditation technique you practice. Eventually, you will need to arrive at the point where you are able to do common meditation. Common meditation is described in another video, which I would certainly suggest that anyone who is seriously interested should watch. This is just a quick and basic precis of the consequences of being open and vulnerable. And the consequences of self-protective psychology. Basically self-protective psychology is a dead-end path. That will keep you stuck in your spiritual evolution. Like a squirrel in a cage. You will go around and around but you will not go anywhere.
You need to look at the underlying basis for doing this, which is fear. We need to see that fear is just a mirage. And we simply need to have the courage to go through that fear. Try, and you will see. Okay, thank you. Bye-bye for now. Brother Bert wishes you all the best. Bye-bye for now.
