Well said!
I can actually go inside people's "inner landscape" unless they're conscious and aware enough to have set up sheilds or wards or whatever. I generally do NOT (I want to emphasise that) for a lot of reasons, partly ethical and partly just lack of desire to do so. I've seen some pretty weird and unpleasant stuff in people's inner landscapes, and I'm not keen to go wandering around in them like some sort of astral peeping tom.
This, by the way, is why people should practice shielding and other such protections. I can do this consciously, but a lot of people in the world do it unconsciously, and allowing people to get inside your "inner space" is not a good idea unless you specifically want that energy connection. Sad fact is, almost nobody has any protections against intruders (some conscious/aware people do, of course).

This is particularly true for empaths, but, frankly, I think everyone should practice shielding, for the above-mentioned reasons. It's not difficult and doesn't interfere with anything you want to happen (that is, you can allow anyone and anything you want past any shield you've constructed).
But speaking from the memory of being an empath who didn't know anything about shielding, my mental and emotional health improved greatly when I started to shield. Now, it's second nature.
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
