Avast, Me Hearties! Corsairs Both Fore and Astern! . by Alice B. Clagett

Look ye both fore and astern! Are pirates of the high seas set to board this sturdy craft, me hearties?

Avast, Me Hearties! Corsairs Both Fore and Astern!

Dear Ones,

The other day I was walking towards a restroom in Los Angeles. A woman barred my path. She looked me in the eye and then said a disparaging thing to a woman who was walking behind me.

The first woman had a look of disdain in her eyes. It almost sounded as if she was using the word to spit at me.

I got the weird feeling that the woman meant very badly towards me … even that she might want to kill me, or that, because I contain myself sexually, she had been disappointed in an opportunity to kill me.

Could the woman behind me have been in cahoots with the woman in front of me in some way?

Those were the thoughts that ran through my mind when I saw the first woman’s look of malice. I guess you can tell, my guard went up like the flag on a frigate at sight of a corsair’s crew!

The word the woman said sounded to me like ‘Shen’ or ‘Schen’.

I looked ‘Shen’ up: That word is said to describe the light in a person’s eyes, or the spirit of a person. According to what I read, the word ‘Shen’ has to do with a person’s full embodiment or presence in the world, their Awareness within physical form. It apparently has something to do with joie de vivre as well.

I am thinking this word ‘Shen’ may have to do with what Yogi Bhajan of 3HO Organization used to refer to as the flashing Light in a teacher’s eyes?

I also looked up ‘Schen’. This is a variant of Middle English ‘Shyn’, meaning ‘shin’ (the part of the leg between the foot and the knee). That couldn’t be it, I thought.

But then Shyn is also a variant of Schyne: ‘A beam of light, or a flash of light’. That might have had something to do with the word ‘Shen’ in a way. Both definitions have to do with Light.

It seems to me both words might have to do with my Lightworker abilities? How might this be construed pejoratively, I wondered, except perhaps amongst Darkmen and Darkwomen?

Might that woman have been a Darkwoman? ARE there such people as that, I wonder? If so, how ought a Lightworker respond?

I know the movies make much of Lightmen and Lightwomen doing battle with Darkmen and Darkwomen. I feel quite differently though.

It is important for me to ‘let be’ the people who dislike the Light. It would be better to let them seek out those with whom they feel comfortable.

In love, light and joy

Color-of-the-Law Tan Your Hide Law! . by Alice B. Clagett

Alice’s Perilous Tales: God Delivers a Coup de Grâce!

Color-of-the-Law Tan Your Hide Law!

Dear Ones,

I never heard of ‘color of law’ before.

You’re pretending that this and such law applies – say protection of the elderly or of children? – say and you have in mind kidnapping someone, or trafficking them, or murdering them and absconding with their money or their house?!

Apparently the United States Department of Justice was onto this shtick as long ago as 1948!? Go figure!

This law is intriguingly apropos of the current times! Check it out!

TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 242 (Department of Justice)

  • “Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, … shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both;
  • and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both;
  • and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.” — https://www.justice.gov/crt/deprivation-rights-under-color-law

Huzzas to those ancient legal eagles!

Alice’s Perilous Tales: God Delivers a Coup de Grâce!

I remember with a shudder the year 2018 when my gut told me that a scurvy plan such as one of those alluded to above was about to hit me dead center.

You know how it is: Sometimes the small hairs rise up on the nape of your neck, and your gut does flip flops, but you just cannot pin a thing down neat enough for LAPD?

This happened at the end of a church service in the San Fernando Valley, California. I credit the grace of God with my hair’s-breadth escape.

What better place than a church to see God deliver a coup de grâce!

In love, light and joy

NOTE: ‘Under color of’ is an American idiom. It means ‘under pretext of’ or ‘under guise of’. In other words, it means ‘pretending to be this and such’ when in fact the action has to do with something else.
