Session 927, 10 Nov 1980 (machine translation)
You have an innate protective shield. (Pause) In the personal realm of your intentions and goals, the universe is safe. (Long pause.) That doesn't mean there couldn't be difficulties. But it does mean that you are actually guaranteed a significant kind of protection throughout your entire mental and physical environment.
Animals are well aware of this, so they won't even run away from a predator that's in their sight unless they know it's hungry.
(Seth made this observation because Jane and I watched an episode of "The World of Survival" on TV over the weekend. The show was about a family of cheetahs and their hunting behavior in West Africa.)
In their natural environment, animals do not spend their lives in fear. Their fear is limited to situations in which it is really appropriate, to dangerous situations that actually occur -- and despite all scientific ideas to the contrary, the animals enjoy periods of peace and calm in between. They know about their protection.
