Wielding Spiritual Armor?

[Sundara]

When it comes to receiving messages from the Gods in the form of symbols, one of Anubis’ allegories has to do with wielding a shield of armor. He’s been very present in my life lately in so many ways, and has offered actual help with physical matters that I’m surprised by. One thing that has been standing out to me is this shield of armor, wielding a shield of armor. It’s always over the heart chakra, and I’ve already been working to better open this and strengthen it. Would this matter be as simple as strengthening the AOP or does anyone know any other protective methods that deal with the heart chakra? I’m trying to figure out how I’d wield this shield of armor and I feel like the answer is right in front of my face. I know it’s not the most probable anyone could answer for how it pertains to me, but I wanted to hear some ideas on it.

Maybe this is just a symbolic meaning?

When I was not a Satanist, I received an odd and vivid dream, where probably my guardian showed up, and explained many things to me, with symbols (that‘s why I became a Zevism).
On of them was that I received a Golden Black Sword, from Aliens.
This represents simply power. So if I would actually become a Zevism, I would also receive power, and godly protection.

If I may add here, this has probably nothing to do with your question but, one time it was easier for me to imagine my Aura shining like the sun, when I shaped my Aura like an Armour that actually protects me from everything.

Maybe this means that you should focus on AoP now? Idk man

Stop opening, connecting to and exposing your soul psychically to take everything around you in all the time, it makes you easily impressionable to all kinds of influences and enables you to be far more spiritually vulnerable, you need a more controlled discipline over this and to protect the chakra from doing this. When you're psychically open, always reading things around you and taking information in, this has to do with connection which is ruled by the heart chakra, how you personally are reading things is you are unwittingly invoking it into yourself, you're taking the energy in. When you connect to so many things like that passively as a habit without directing the desire as such deliberately, then you open up to and take in too many energies around you, most of which in this world is not exactly 'safe' or 'good' even if it may feel positive (For instance some manipulative and emotionally controlling people are overly friendly beyond natural reasonability, especially to strangers). Being unnaturally passive is synonymous with being victim to outside influences, you are not the one who instates or solidifies the control so you end up being the controlled.


Connecting to things like this completely bypasses your Aura of Protection, meaning you can't protect yourself from what you yourself are allowing in not just to chakras but psychically, there must be rigidity in logical objectiveness. I wasn't given a shield or armor allegory I was just reminded of what I already know in how things spiritually work and it was brought to my direct attention what I was doing and why I was so easily affected by everything around me. What the shield allegory likely means for you is you need to block from this behaviour of connection, and to sever negative attachments from your heart chakra and, yes, actually shield it (Shiny black energy, can be combined with reflective lunar silver, a door, an actual shield, whatever visual works best for you).


Your heart chakra is far too open and I don't mean like in power but in that you allow it to connect and take in far too many things with 'open arms', remember the history of Egypt of the Pharaohs with the arms crossed over their chest, protecting the heart, the heart chakra is one of the largest causes of vulnerability to an individual who exposes it to everything all the time. This shield allegory is symbolical in telling you to primarily stop this habit of passively reading and taking everything in with open arms, you must close off from connecting to everything like this and choose what you connect to very selectively and objectively. "Focus more on yourself", remember you were told that? Yourself, who you are, stabilize in your presence as your own being, live through your own eyes and perceptual existence, not everything else's.

You need to centre yourself and this kind of grounding can help you see clarity in solidifying what I mean so you can better interpret this objectivity and understanding, I've already been through in doing this myself with guidance and assistance and it really does work but you need to devote special time for it so you can give appropriate and real effort, combine with Sun and Moon nostril breathing and upper body Yoga (arm stretching, shoulders and shoulder blades, chest, this was also signed to me as more specifically focused on the heart chakra itself and strengthens it's tie to Venus and Green energy to reduce inflammation in the physical body as well. Can combine with blue energy and water element, both good to promote health, balance and harmony).

This kind of grounding and centreing is specific: Ground yourself with the earth element but not with soil or 'earth' but instead with visuals and focus on surrounding yourself in green plants, trees, leaves, vegetation, green nature, you can visualize being in a forest if you want even or look up images of trees, green leaves, plants. Focus on the leaves in the earth element, green grass, the strength of tree trunks and bark, and take it in like you would any other element or energy or engulf yourself in it and recognize it in relation to the earth in physicality and materialness. Take in the earth element, but direct it with these visuals and aspects, also make the green colour of these plants and trees very vibrant as the colour is also part of this.

This was my own directions from my guardian, though I can't know if this will help you as it could've been something that worked for me specifically in my own caterings but you can give it a try. In it's general means though it helps centre the heart chakra greatly this way because visualizing nature, as nature is tied to the heart chakra, and making that synonymous with the grounding of the earth element helps to tie the earth grounding to the heart chakra specifically. Remember the heart chakra is made up of two elements, Air and Earth, if the Earth element is not balanced in the chakra itself then it becomes unstable, this is a means of empowering the heart chakra in a way that harmonizes it's metaphysic and this will help centre you more to the chakra's function of stability and balance which can help give you more objective control over your other spiritual endeavors in correcting this as it provides key means of proper focus in both imagination and realness. The WUNJO rune is also very good for helping with this.


As for actually shielding the chakra, I personally visualized a shiny black obsidian door closing in front of my heart chakra with the intent that the door blocks out any and all non-satanic and negative influences from myself and that I no longer passively connect to things without my conscious and objective deliberation to. I re-enforce this door with as many extra locks or chains upon it to keep it closed tightly and strong as I feel is necessary to better enforce the intent, but you can do this however you like so long as you are correcting this 'excessive openness' by closing it in protection from things that are not of Satan or satanically safe and positive energies. This is not closing the chakra, this is severing and blocking out unwanted outside influences and connections from the chakra. I keep and stay tied strongly to Satan and the gods.

Hope this helps.

All of this is how you "wield this shield of armor", it is not 'literal' but is symbolical in what you need to do for yourself.

You’re right, it could have been representative of his presence in my life and for education. I’ll start a different aop and see if the draw to it stops, I haven’t done the best aop lately. I was using solar mantras until the sun went into Libra. It seems more significant. The Gods carry allegories within them and they’re very important to understand for our steps in advancement. It can sometimes be a very simple step for someone, with our Guardians it’s much bigger. That’s why in most cases very specific people would have Azazel as a Guardian.

It is entirely against human nature and normal human inclinations to be unreasonably kind and nice to someone, especially a stranger, without incentive; this is against nature in general, bonds must be built and trust must be gained appropriately, when someone immediately tries to skip multiple steps in the process of friendship to attach as quickly as possible, they are a parasite and don't understand the actual effort and means of the very definition of 'friendship', they only seek to consume and gain. Being far too 'buddy-buddy' with someone you just met, all smiles, warm welcomes and doing favours, this is always a definitive trigger to throw yours guards up and avoid such an individual like the plague because they are 99% irrefutably a parasite or something is seriously wrong with them that would do you no benefits.

They eat up your 'approval' of their kindness so they can control you and stab you in the back. A parasite persuading and blinding the 'host' so it can gain control and reap the benefits. I'm sure you know to not fall for this or get sucked in and you'll know who they are because they will make actual and repeated effort in going far out of their own way when they don't even know the first thing about you just to talk to you specifically, crack jokes, act kind and do favours, but it's all a means to a parasitic end.

Do not let such filth get to you, they are parasitize because they are weak, fearful and have no control, so if whatever little they gain slips away from them or starts to, they show their true violent, lowly and parasitic colours to desperately cling on. Don't fall for their games or their bull.

You are not them, you are you.

Update on this, the allegorical shield of armor I believe is when the heart chakra opens and is empowered in the last step of the post on steps in the kundalini. It brings a much greater spiritual protection and extends astrally. Part of what I was being told was also that I should have been exhaling my excess energy into my AOP.

I tried part of this after reading it. The visualizing green nature and taking it in part. Then i went to sleep but i had dreams where I was at home indoors surrounded by tall grass only around where I stood so the grassy area wasn't that big. In that dream i was angry with my mother which is often when I see her in a dream and real life. It wasn't until I was mesmerized by the tall grass that i calmed down and said I would take care of her. That one wasn't as concerning since it was just conflicting emotions from hate/anger to caretaker. The second dream was me standing in an iceberg like land, it was either ice or gray/black land that was cracked and completely infertile. It was dark but illuminated by a sunrise. There was one person with me, I think he was a man but I didn't look at him because I was looking at grassy vines sprouting out of the back of my hand towards the ground. The vines were vivid and it did not feel right like I wasn't supposed to let it happen so I woke myself up. I stopped but I want to do more earth meditation. For the one on the main site it says to visualize it like gravity and invisible so should I visualize it like a dome with gravity pushing down or a full sphere with gravity pushing in from all angles so it's also pushing up from below with my body at the center like a planet?
Also do you think this could've been backlash from having too much air element?

When you work with harmony, anything that causes you disharmony or distress or something that bothers and unsettles your soul in some way deep down may surface to manifest as it is gradually cleansed out and yes this can be in the form of a dream. Dreams are symbolical, they are very rarely literal and it takes some scrutinization to figure out what it means as such.

The meditation for the earth element on the website specifies it's more solidified and grounding properties, Earth element in specified positive visuals like stone, dirt, mountains and rocks will 'hold you down' if you're too 'airy' like a weighted anchor, make sure this is directed properly in how you intend to use it as it can weigh upon the soul as an overall binding upon you if you're not careful. Direct it specifically such as for discipline, balancing your air element or to stop being overly in tune to the astral and intent your desire very clearly and specifically with the element. Greenery like vegetation, forests, flowers, nature, these specified visualizations, at least in my personal experience, are more of a positively inclined aspect of the Earth element in harmonized stability. It grounds you and stabilizes you, but peacefully in the added rulerships of Venus, it more so stabilizes the emotions to centre out and it's not as strong or potent as pure Earth aspects like stone and soil which are far more 'heavy'.

You can experiment with different focuses and visuals to tune and direct your attention to the proper related aspects you need that help you.
