As for the spiritual warfare bit ~ Agreed that the darkness, the unconsciousness has taken on a life of it's own and it's working to 'fight the light'.
I suggest the only way to disempower the darkness is not by fighting it or ignoring it ~ either way, and the room remains dark.
Only way to disempower the darkness is to shine Light on it. The darkness itself, will turn into Light.
A candle can light up a dark room, but no amount of darkness can put out a Light.
I personally have a great respect for the Ascended Hosts and I understand the power in names.
Not only do we have the Power to say No to darkness as it tries to cause us problems, but we can also, and should also call to the Ascended Hosts to intervene on our behalf. This certainly includes Jesus Christ if we feel comfortable doing so. Archangel Michael, and frankly, if we are Eastern, Shiva is an excellent Ascended Being to call to (although Western fundamental thinkers may of course consider this to be 'evil' because it is beyond current level of beliefs, and that's fine!).
The ultimate spiritual protection comes from building up momentum's working with Beings of Light, as well as fixing our own illusions.
Vibration does indeed matter. The less illusions we have, the less fear we have, the less kinks in our Armour we have for dark forces to attack us with.
Eventually, we vibrate so high, the dark forces literally walk right through us!
I only suggest, we don't have to fight them. Fighting itself is an act of darkness... resisting by all means!!! Fighting as a last resort, but ideally, call to the Ascended Hosts, Archangel Michael, Jesus Christ, Shiva, stand your ground in your own God Power, the Holy Spirit that does indeed Live in your heart, Know you are the child of God and in Oneness, this is your world, and they lose their power... suggestions for starters .... All of us have our own ways of protection, good to share
