255 Prepare, Defend

To properly defend yourself, you prepare for all contingencies.
You do all you possibly can, ahead of time.

.

And then one of two things happens:

1. Because you are so very heavy with all the preparations, mental, emotional or physical – imagine wearing full gas, biological, radiation & armor protection – you can’t move, … and you become the very thing you tried to protect against. Defenseless. A sitting target.

2. Or you limit your exposure (and adventures!) to whatever you are sure you can defend against, respond to, protect your frail Self Image from.

While traveling the world I sometimes got diarrhea.
I did nothing about it, so my body learned to defend itself.
When I returned there I was fine, because I had become immune.
There was no longer any-thing to defend against.

Introduce yourself to the very thing you want to protect against, and become immune to it.
Has anything else worked?
