There are those that counter the effects of black magicians, rendering their exploits impotent. You will find these people are generally absent and withdrawn into meditation or other mindful practice; usually through chaos and imbalances appearing in their lives. At these turbulent times they go within to balance their world.
Fear is an illusion, it is a perception.
I blind them with light, I laugh at their ritualistic hypnosis programming, which is not magic. Magic is alive, magic is Awe. It is a powerful feeling to let out a huge bellow of laughter at their crude exploits; it is a game changer.
Light is a target for these miscreants, but then again, darkness is a target for Light. Their power of the dark side relies on deception, which is an illusion.
We cannot continue to class their energy as power, it is not, it is impotent, it is a deception to make you believe they have power. They have NONE whatsoever, that is why they have to steal our energies, that is why they are energy vampires, they are impotent and they steal and misuse OUR power.
When you shine the Light on darkness, it ceases to exist, so instead of just "protecting" myself from darkness, I seek them, I blind them with Light, with my laughter, my power, my movement and fluidity; swift is my touch, I travel at the speed of Light. It is not I that have a need to defend anything, I Am All That Is, I Am and I Exist. it is the darkness that need to protect their illusion in order to exist. Namaste.
