I found this is a forum I visit. Just after I read this I got an email from a prospective customer asking how an SP works. I sent them this treatise as an answer:

Why Protecting Yourself with White Light is No Protection At All – 8/26/05
Everything Your Teacher Taught You About Psychic Protection is Wrong
It’s a fact – beings from darker places lurk in the shadows of this dimension, trying to lure psychics, healers, and sensitive people into following their deceptive guidance. They love to trip spiritual people up and send them down a false path.
Some psychics get overwhelmed by this stuff and would rather not know anything about it. I’m exactly the opposite. I’d rather KNOW what’s lurking around the edges of this dimension so I can protect myself.
Unfortunately, a lot of psychics whose abilities are just opening up aren’t taught about those denizens of the dimension that lies “in between,” who inhabit those cracks between reality that seek to overpower and gain a hold on THIS reality.
The Origins of Luciferian Beings
These beings don’t belong here. Many aeons ago, they used antimatter technology (Luciferian toys which go against the primordial laws of Creation) to break open a hole into this reality, but they don’t originally come from this universe.
Even the angels were surprised by their attack. That’s why a significant portion of the angels were lost – I believe it was a third of them – and took on demonic qualities. How can you defend against something if you don’t know it exists? It took a while for the archangels to figure out how to confront these new foes. The battle in the heavens has been going on for a long, long time, and it has carried over to Earth. This isn’t the only planet where this drama has played out, though.
Humanity has unique spiritual qualities. We have some unique configuration in our DNA and energy systems which allows us to be co-creators with God, not just children of God. This is pretty cool. It’s also a capacity that greatly threatens the dark ones. I mean, if enough spiritually-aware, spiritually-empowered humans reclaim their sovereign abilities as creative beings, then we will create their butts right out of this reality, changing the very RULES of this dimension and expelling them from this place. And then we can help to restore that Higher Power’s original plan for this place, which was always one of peaceful growth, not one which required evolution through terrible suffering.
The dark ones get very peeved about that. That’s why they are so intent on getting humanity to descend lower and lower in consciousness. It’s not working, however. In spite of the mainstream media, which would have you believe that the battle is long lost, these are amazing and miraculous times we are living in. Spiritual people, good souls, are waking up and changing the rules down here. And they are gaining momentum and strength.
As this process happens, a lot of spiritual warriors who are ready to create peace on Earth get hit pretty hard by the dark ones. When this happens, it’s sad, because most people are so unprepared and uneducated about the dark side and how it operates.
Real Defense Against the Dark Arts
If you expect to gain any headway on the spiritual path, it’s important to be street smart. You need to learn how to combine a quality of great openness, so you can communicate with beings psychically and link with God/the the Spiritual Creator through your heart, with a protective shielding and a no-nonsense attitude against the dark ones.
In the Harry Potter books, the staff of Hogwarts, the wizard school, have great difficulty keeping a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Most of the candidates who end up taking the position are either useless against evil (not understanding how its adherents do their business) or practitioners of the dark arts themselves.
In a similar way, members of the New Age community do budding healers and energy sensitives a great disservice. Mostly, older and more experienced metaphysical types do one of two things when a younger person asks them questions. They either greet any suggestion that dark stuff happens with “Poo-poo, my child, you don’t know what you’re talking about.” Or they respond with a lot of useless techniques and advice. “Just surround yourself with white light, my dear, that will protect you.”
The ones who tell you to surround yourself with white light are REALLY dangerous. They don’t know what they’re doing.
Think of it logically. You want to shield yourself so that dark energies and dark metaphysical practitioners don’t target you for harm. That means you want to become LESS VISIBLE to them, right?
So you go off and surround yourself with huge amounts of etheric white light.
Take a guess. What do you think you just did to yourself?
You just took an astral spotlight and shined it at yourself. You just created a flashing neon sign that basically says, “Look at me! I’m a newbie! I fell for that white light stuff!”
Yikes.
Working at remaining invisible can involve a great many things. One trick is to simply learn to be still, slowing your energy field down so that you blend in to the background of things. You can do this in your dream body while you are asleep and with your physical body as well.
I know that it’s possible to become invisible even when you are walking down the street next to your enemy; I’ve tested that one in battle conditions many times. It’s quite interesting to see someone who has stalked you and threatened to kill you look you in the eyes and not SEE you. That’s when you realize that the shamanic path, which includes spiritual warrior techniques, fills in a lot of the gaps missed by other traditions.
Many of the other spiritual traditions are setting psychics up to be beacons who attract the darkness. Advertise your light loudly and arrogantly, and you’ll never lack for company.
It might not be the RIGHT form of company, however.
You can also work with a wide variety of colors and energy frequencies, shapes, symbols, weapons, animal helpers, angelic guardians, and so forth. It’s important to find the right combination of energies that resonate with you. Do some experimenting.
And cut out the white light stuff, okay? If you’re using that, no wonder you don’t feel well and are manifesting all manner of problems in your life. It’s not your fault. You simply weren’t taught the way of a warrior.
