I prefer the Warrior's stance which is you force yourself to be calm and observant and literally ready for anything.
Here is the problem: It doesn't really matter whether a supernatural event is good bad or neutral because if it's powerful it can kill you. Or more precisely, your reaction to powerful events and stop your heart or give you a stroke if you have an extreme emotional reaction to it whatever it is.
Children often can survive these sorts of things no matter what they do if they are young and healthy because what would kill an adult often won't kill children. So, whether they are blissed out from seeing angels (angels are very wonderful and intoxicating to be around) or whether something scary happens, often children will survive it no matter what it is.
But adults, that is a different story. If you are an adult an a supernatural event of any kind occus (good, bad or indifferent) it could easily kill you if it destroys your world view.
In other words what if something happens that you don't believe is possible?
Will that kill you?
The answer is: "If you aren't open to literally any possibility in any moment: Yes"
The point isn't to make you afraid. The point is to teach you the necessity of being fearless or to have the capacity to shut your fear off in an emergency so you can stay calm and centered and focused like an adult to deal with literally any situation.
I equate it to driving a car. Not everyone can drive a car. But, say you are driving down the road one day and a bull moose is in front of you?
What do you do?
First, you can stop(if you have enough time)
Second, you can swerve if you have enough time and don't go off a cliff.
Third, if there is no time you hit the moose, it destroys your car and if you are lucky
he rolls over your roof, doesn't break his legs and doesn't take out your windshield.
I chose the moose because the moose in this case (in relation to your physical survival) isn't good, bad or indifferent unless you hit him, he goes through the windshield and you are dead.
Also, I have a friend who hit an Elk for Real (almost as big as a moose) and he survived because the Elk destroyed his hood of his car, broke out his front window and rolled over the top of his Subaru Outback in Yellowstone and got up and walked away.
So, in regard to all unexpected phenomena whether you believe in it or not, the point of this is learning how to survive whatever happens in your life.
Just because you believe something is impossible doesn't mean that is true, it just means that is what you believe. However, what you believe does change all surrounding phenomena to a greater or lesser degree depending upon the circumstances.
