White Light of protection..not protection at all?

I heard that the metaphysical technique of sorrounded yourself in White Light for protection is not protection at all, but rather the opposite because your shining a light in the Astral and allowing other beings to take notice of you. Is this true?

not too sure. a reiki master told me to fill myself with white, gold, and blue energy to deal with unwanted attachments. it seems to work alright.

I was under the impression that the white light came from the crown chakra, and so emitted a very high vibration that deterred lower-vibration entities.

it could work, depends on the entity in question.
it wouldn't work on a psi vamp for example, instead it might, as you mentioned, draw attention. But it might annoy a more one dimensional astral being and drive it off.
its perhaps worth trying, if it works for you, great

I wouldn't count on it being foolproof by any stretch of the imagination though. It would be key to make sure that the energy was 'bitter' to the entity you're trying to discourage. Not all entities would react the same... regardless of their moral leanings. its just something to try, and its something which is more a discouragement than a forceful defense, and its situational. I dunno. its not something I do. its sort of a really really rudimentary 'sheilding' method. I think there are better shielding methods.
In my opinion... 'static' defenses (defenses which are set up, and then remain in place, and to not adapt to shifts in an agressor's approach) are pretty much *never* foolproof.

If you surround yourself with "white light" then you are a beacon, or bacon as the case may be. Surround yourself with the "white light of protection" and you should be protected.
It's just a method of shielding is all, and while it can protect, it's good to know more then one method.
I guess its effectiveness can also be effected by the source of the light. Pull your source from "God" and chances are Angels can get through without an issue. Kath_'s idea on psivamps getting though can also be true, especially as they often feed on the positive energies (i.e. white light).
Every defense has it's flaws and weaknesses, so like I said, it's best to know more then one.

Only if you take the "Maginot Line" approach to defenses. In the military world, defensive barriers and obstacles only serve to delay an opponent long enough for the grunts in the trenches to stand-to (ready to send ammunition down-range). That is why we use such noisy and bright stuff like mines and trip flares. We also have a layered approach, ideally an attacking force will have encountered three or four layers of defenses before they hit the concertina wire fence 100 metres from the position.
I use my expertise in the Magickal world. My wife and I each have different sorts of warding that we have around the house. Some of mine simply warn me of an incursion.
Then I choose an active response appropriate to the situation.
The defenses are periodically checked and re-inforced.
Static defenses work fine, you just can't go to sleep inside of them.

In tantric buddhism, white light is the essence of purification which is believed to emanate from the bodhisattva Vajrasattva. This white light (which is accompanied by nectar) purifies karma, cleanses the body, speech and mind of defilements. This is a form of protection as it clears away the cognitive afflictions which are said to be greater enemies than any external enemy (physical or spiritual).
External enemies will die anyway, as they are impermanent, but our cognitive afflictions are said to have been with us since beginningless time, and they follow us through each subsequent rebirth, bringing us suffering and subjecting us to sickness, old age and death.

if you have a strong belief, imagination and faith in yourself...im pretty sure u can cover yourself in visual ceran wrap and still be protected if thats the reason you have it on you.
i belive a lot of the white light/etc stuff is a basic guideline thats easier to adapt than something less obvious (since most associate white light with good..hence..)
but im sure in some things colors are meant to be specific, however im no expert so i dont know much about the subject.
