A few minutes ago I learned something important ... to me at least :-)
The ultimate protection... involves a rather simple 'esoteric' mechanism where the wise get it right and the unwise get something else (whilst thinking that they get it) and both act-accordingly to what better be done as it ought to be done. (I glimpsed in that to the gift for me for having that particular interaction)
esoteric : intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest
I think that the idea of protection involves an attempt to make an abundant resource into a scarce resource in order to exploit and control behaviors and continue to employ possessive robin hood economic practices... rather than shift into an agrarian-merchant abundant resource economic practices... some people want to possess and control and make money of what others have & use... there is a subtle though significant pernicious issues pertaining to property...that have to do with "I was here first, and claim ownership of this land & domain"... of course this possession of things goes against many other spiritual cultures & practices that operate on different principles... this reminds me of the third movie of Po dealing with Kai... in Kung Fu Panda 3 ...
Kai arrives and confronts Po. Kai sends his jade statue minions to capture Po, and when Po tries to use the finger hold on Kai to send him back to the Spirit Realm, Kai reveals that it can only work on mortals, not a spirit warrior. Kai gains the upper hand in their fight. Po uses the finger hold again, on himself while gripping Kai, transporting them both. They interact again, now in the spirit realm, with Kai regaining the advantage to subdue Po, and Kai begins petrifying Po. Using what they learned from Po and about who they are, Li, Tigress, Mr. Ping and the pandas are able to use their chi to empower Po, who then is able to use chi to create a giant figure which he uses to overpower Kai and then to bestow the power onto Kai, who can't handle nor manage to employ said force constructively and it ends up destroying him rather than empowering him.
Some will handle the truth of the matter in an empowering constructive fashion and some will not handle the truth of the matter constructively and said force will end up destroying them. The ultimate protection involves acting-appropriately with the truth of the matter to create what ought to be created as it ought to be created... (whilst mitigating and constraining the other possible possibilities into remaining as such possible possibilities).
I hope you each think to get it right while actually managing to get it right... and then act-accordingly.
