When a being succeeds in standing strong, are they in effect training the deep subconscious to ignore the mind-control communications in the same way that a well trained guard dog will ignore a raw steak tossed at it by a would-be trespasser?

In some respects, this is true. It is always the case that to remain composed, calm, and have needed self-control there must be a very rapid sorting and assessment of competing thoughts about what is unfolding to reserve judgment, to not go off half-cocked, so to speak, and allow oneself to be triggered into panic mode unnecessarily, or even to move towards taking a rash act that would turn out to be inappropriate. For example, to strike first when there may simply not be enough information to fully understand that an unfolding situation is not truly a threat but an opportunity, and does not call for an attack but rather a full hearing of the other party and the issues at hand before responding, and so on. So there are many factors involved in how one operates that will be governed by the ability to ride herd on the parts of the mind that might be shaped, more than others, by dark experiences and traumatic events to inculcate dark beliefs as a result—beliefs in one’s own vulnerability, one’s own weaknesses, one’s lack of authority, lack of power, and so on. When one is standing strong it is because they are enough in divine alignment to be raised up by the flow of love and light coming through them. In a sense, they are being empowered in the moment by Creator’s love force energy and that transcends who they are as a human in the physical. You are inhabiting a kind of remote outpost still connected to your soul but with various filters and potentials for diminishment of fuller awareness and sources of energy and knowledge that could be brought to bear to help in an emergency, but may be difficult or slow to arrange. So it is more likely to be overwhelmed in the moment by negativity and that will govern the outcome in a particular circumstance causing someone to weaken and become vulnerable and then perhaps be overpowered by an interloper to gain the upper hand and carry out a campaign of manipulation to suppress and subjugate them. At a minimum, such attacks become a major distraction at some point and can sideline an individual dramatically and render their life truly ineffective because they will be struggling to survive the onslaught and keep going, even in a humble and meager fashion, but will not return to a former state of strength and resilience easily without outside help through healing. When you are in alignment with Creator’s flow of love, you can become invulnerable and impervious to attack. That is why we emphasize over and over again the importance of partnering with Creator to line up with love. It is not a faint hope, it is not a weak position as often characterized in calling a man who is compassionate and cares about the wounds of others or the plight of the downtrodden as being a "sissy." The opposite is the case. Those who value love, live through love, give love, and rely on love are the giants, and the loveless are the ones who lose and are often closer to death’s door than they realize. That is the end result of depravity and the fate of the loveless being.
