No problem, TP

What was it that the C's said? "The battle is always there, it's when you choose that counts" ... something like that. I think it applies here.
Right on, Craig. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."
While we should consistently be watchful and self-observant, heading off "hyperdimensional attack" requires being extra alert. Consistently maintaining a peak state of alert is stressful and takes its toll, which is another trap. True to the Art of War, if you know the place and timing of your enemy's ambush, you have the upper hand.
The way I use the moon and biorhythm charts is not to decide when to be alert and when to let my guard down, but rather when to be normal in my watchfulness and when to kick into high alert.
Knowledge of rhythms and precursors - whatever they are for you - helps you place extra energy and awareness where and when it counts most. It is a matter of efficiency, of correctly anticipating an attack before it happens in order to head it off. Otherwise you swat blindly at shadows and deplete yourself before the real challenge even begins.
So, foreknowledge gives you a temporary boost in defenses by redistributing your resources for maximum protection. Over time, as you grow stronger and your weaknesses are corrected, this level of awareness and protection becomes your default state of being - without the stress and depletion it might have cost you previously. Like using a crutch until you are able to walk.
If you cannot become free of a cyclical influence, then becoming aware of it at least gives you the benefit of good timing.
Acquiring fringe knowledge is like digging for diamonds in a mine field.
