You know, this has been a continuing debate on this forum. I sense you are making an important point here, but I think there is a lot of confusion and misunderstanding surrounding this whole 'fear based' activity thing. I'm a fan of Braden, Lipton, "The Secret" Abraham Hicks and all those...but I'm having a hard time, and I'm sure others are too, seeing how preparing ourselves and adequately protecting ourselves from the fear-based attacks of other misdirected souls creates a 'lowering of frequency'.

I understand about not dwelling on fear and worry or nursing anger and how destructive that is. But I honestly feel that tarring all of us on this forum with the same brush for trying to stop murderous plans and/or protect ourselves from them is a misapplication of spiritual information. If you can explain this to the contrary, I'm most happy to hear it.

I have thought about Ghandi, when he defied the General at risk of his life; and I've thought about the story of Jesus, who allowed himself to be betrayed and crucified without resistance--but I've also heard other stories about how Jesus was smart and used herbs to feign death, 'beat the rap' so to speak and went on to spread his wisdom to other lands, so I have BIG doubts about not taking prudent action to save oneself.
