In things Shaman the ultimate definition of the term "White
Light" refers to "a protective shield manifested from the
innate universal energies and Power of the
Shaman, to encompass himself and the immediate environment
in order to ward off predatory inorganic and other negatives."
However, the term is forever being misinterpeted by new-agers and core
shamanists to mean any number of things, usually higher in their
meaning but actually much less in reality.
Before moving on, a quick clarification as to the "white"
in White Light. It is not white say as in the white of a white sheet
of typing paper, it is closer to the meaning of "white" like
in the light radiated from a white light bulb. The light bulb is
white, but the light coming from it is not tinted by the white like
one might see radiating from a red or blue bulb, but is instead,
"transparent."

What is called "light" is another term for
electromagnetic radiation. White light is the combination of the
frequencies within the visible light spectrum of electromagnetic
radiation. Black is the lack or absence of those frequencies. What is
confusing is, with a physical object, a green plant for example, even
though it may appear green, it is not actually green but a combination
of all the colors BUT green...that is, the only light frequency NOT
being absorbed by the plant is the frequency we see as green. It is
actually being refected BACK to our eyes so we see the plant as green.
On the other hand, when we see an object as the "color"
black it is the absorption of all colors, while white reflects back
all colors. All conditions being equal a white surface would be
"cooler" than a black surface because the white surface is
not aborbing energy while the black surface is, hence, with the
additional engery, it would be warmer. Not only does the White Light
have the energy come to it's surface, it also radiates basically the
same energy back. So not keeping it, reletively speaking there is
TWICE as much engergy AROUND the white surface than on it. That is the
secret to White Light, the twice as much energy AROUND the object. So
said, however, that is NOT to confuse the "power" of
whitelight with electromagnetic radiation. Although it is possible to
draw and analogy between the two in a verbal sense, they are not
equivalent per se' in the actual sense. For further clarification see:

THE REMAINING FROM AN ARTICLE BY Robert
Bruce
Now, on to the White Light question: if by 'white light'
'visualized white light,' [which is a popular visualization technique
used---visualization being more accurately described as imagination---to
visualize white light as in surrounding yourself as a protective
measure] is meant, then the end result of that is that you are
in fact, surrounding an imaginary version of yourself with imaginary
white light within your mind's eye...with all the connotations implied
by the word 'imaginary'. You are not actually 'calling down' any kind
of magical force or energy powerful enough to protect you from
negative invasion. If you believe you have succeeded at doing this, I
suggest the supposed results were coincidental with perceived
outcomes; as hard experience tells me otherwise. To my way of thinking
the visualized white light self-defense method is more placebo than
anything else. This is much like how children ease their fear of
darkness by hiding under their bed covers: it doesn't make their room
any lighter, but it makes them feel better anyway.
The White Light refered to in the title, the White Light Shield,
most definitely does exist. But this is generally only perceived after
long term spiritual development. And while this light does begin to
surround you (in a sense) in the astral once you attain a certain
level of development, it is not a force, per se, that can be 'called
down' or used or manipulated in any direct way. It can though,
manifest more strongly (albeit temporarily) during mystical
experiences, if you can connect strongly enough with your higher-self.
This in effect raises your vibrations to a higher level, a level where
the White Light can be perceived as a tangible and visible force.
Under this circumstance White Light will most definitely offer an
effective defensive shield: totally impenetrable. It can be said when
the White light is perceived within your mind's eye as flooding down
from above, that your vibrations have been raised to a level where
negatives cannot directly affect you; with there being way too much
positive energy surrounding and permeating your being to offer any
exposed portion that can be taken advantage of by negative inorganic
beings of any caliber.
The difficulty here, of course, is with holding a vibrational /
mystical state of purity strongly enough, and for long enough, to be
effective. In most cases once your guard drops the attack simply
begins anew. And if the negatives cannot get at you directly, they
will try and get at you through all the people around you. They will
use them to cause upset and disharmony in your life until they pull
you down off your high horse (your vibrational level) to a point where
you are once more exposed to the unkind ministrations of the
negatives.
And to make matters even more difficult, the more pure and
spiritually developed a person is (especially if they are actively
working towards real spiritual advancement) the more attention they
will attract from the negatives to pull them down. In other
words, the potential of any aspirant generates their level of negative
opposition, plus their level of positive assistance, as set by Karmic
Law. This is the natural way of things, and is part of the
reason why real long-term spiritual development is so difficult. And
this is also why those that achieve any significant level of spiritual
/ psychic development usually live fairly difficult lives, or have a
painful past.
Purity of spirit on its own does not offer any realistic measure of
defense. Purity in an adult, however (an extremely rare thing indeed)
does offer some measure of defense as it raises certain Belief System
Shields that denies the existence of negative inorganic beings. Purity
also raises the vibrations of adults, making it even more difficult
for the negatives to gain access to them. In a nutshell: purity of
body, mind and spirit in individuals does not provide the negatives
with any significant amount of raw material to work with,
psychologically speaking. Purity and spiritual development does not
provide any internal 'shadows' that negatives can use to attach, hide
and exist within a person's mind.
In a similar fashion, total ignorance and disbelief of all things
metaphysical will offer a reasonable belief system type of defense,
effectively working against (or unmaking) negative energies as they
try and manifest. This is why more scientific, skeptical types of
people tend to experience far less by way of paranormal manifestations
than do more open minded believers.
Both the above types of defensive aspects (ignorance and purity),
however, offer only limited defense against direct incursions by low
order negatives and their manifestations, i.e., the more brutal and
unsophisticated types of inorganic beings. More intelligent negative
types, however, get around these fairly easily if the intelligence and
metaphysical knowledge of victims are not combined with at least some
measure of spiritual purity; developed or natural.
Long-term psychological conditioning is the general method employed
by negatives, although an experienced negative can make a great deal
of headway (conditioning a new subject/victim) in a very short time
indeed, by directly implanting control devices in their mind.
Controlled ego and purity (the very best you can do and can be) plus
knowledge and intuition, when combined, offer formidable barriers.
This is, of course, as long as persons concerned were not previously
conditioned by negatives during their childhood. In a way, once
persons have been cracked open and invaded by negatives, instructions
on how to gain access to that person are tagged onto their aura; for
any interested negative to read. This last does not prohibit personal
security nor the use of effective self-defense measures: it just makes
things a little more difficult.
By large, if victims lack experience and knowledge, attacks by
negatives must be weathered and endured until they run out of steam;
which they usually do after a few weeks. Although with wisdom gained
most attacks can be fought and their duration significantly shortened;
until enough experience and knowledge is gained to offer more
effective shielding. There are some effective ways to defend yourself
which are not commonly known today. And weathering attacks also causes
forced bio-energetic development; which in a way grows etheric
callouses around one. Experience also promotes the development of
wisdom, through necessity, which can lead you to the gleaning of
inspirational occult knowledge from within.
All knowledge rests within us, not without. You only have to look
within and ask the right questions and the answers will be given. This
is providing that all things are equal, and that an aspirant's
foundation belief system will allow the internal manifestation of the
necessary occult knowledge. Unfortunately, it is my observation that
most people today blind themselves to this inner wisdom by
constructing overly-elaborate foundation belief systems that are not
based on personal experience, logic and reason.
In closing, Sheridan Hill, writing of Suzanne Segal
and what happened to her in relation to her Awakening experience,
offers in essence, something similar to the following:
"Several things must be put in place to protect our own
spirit being: we must ask for a Shield of Light to protect
that makes it clear to other spirit beings that even though we are
traveling in spirit realms, we remain the "owner" of our
bodies. I know this will strike some people as just too fantastic,
but imagine my surprise when I discovered that there are spirit
beings all around us all the time."
