ATTEMPTED BREAK-IN AT MY MOTEL ROOM AT THE STARLIGHT INN IN WINNETKA
This occurred on 17 October 2025 in the Starlight Inn, Room 103, 7435 Winnetka Ave, Canoga Park, California 91306. I paid for the night, but was only there for a few hours before I needed to escape.

Dear Ones,

This is a bit of a missive. Because the question is so long, I had to ask Google AI about it in a series of short steps. The story goes like this …

I asked Google AI: “Google AI, Something happened to me a couple of months ago in the San Fernando Valley. One night I felt unsafe at home, and went to a hotel in Winnetka called the Starlight Inn for safety’s sake.

I put a physical obstacle on the door in case someone else should try to get in.

Right after I got there I went to the restroom to freshen up. The restroom is close to the door to the room. While there, I heard a sound of someone placing a key card in the lock on the door and trying to open the handle of my door.

I went back out and checked the lock, which was now unlocked. I locked the door again and made sure the door was still physically blocked. Then I took a nap.

I was awoken by the sound of two men talking in low voices to each other just outside my door. They had used a key card to unlock the door and were turning the door handle and trying to force their way into the room.

I tried to call the front desk at the Starlight Inn, but I found the room phone was not working.

I turned on my handheld and dialed 911. I explained to the police operator that I needed a police escort to get past the men who were trying to break into my room so that I could get safely back to my car. The police operator said that LAPD does not offer that kind of assistance.

I gathered my personal possessions in both hands and headed out of the Starlight Inn.

Because of the tension of the situation I could not take the time to return my card key to the night clerk, so I lost my $20 cash deposit on the card key.

A muscular indigena slid past me as I threw my possessions into the back seat of my car.

I noticed he was heading toward a car idling with its headlights on, that was blocking the exit to the one-way driveway of the Starlight Inn.

On the other side of me were standing two or three tall Caucasian men dressed nicely, looking at ease but out of place in that locale. They were closely watching me … (to be continued) …

Google AI said: “That sounds like a terrifying ordeal, and it is a relief you were able to exit safely despite the lack of assistance. Your experience with unauthorized room entry and non-functional safety equipment aligns with several documented issues at that location. 

Security Concerns and Guest Safety

  • Unauthorized Entry: Other guests at the Starlight Inn have reported similar security breaches where staff allegedly allowed strangers to access rooms or entered without authorization.
  • Faulty In-Room Equipment: There are multiple reports of missing or non-functional basic amenities, specifically no phones in the rooms and faulty fire alarms. This significantly compromises your ability to contact the front desk or emergency services during a crisis.
  • Property Management: The motel is known for its strict cash deposit policy and reports of a ‘no visitors’ policy that often creates friction between staff and guests.

LAPD Response and Reporting

  • Policy on Escorts: While the LAPD maintains regular patrols, they typically do not provide private ‘escort’ services for individuals unless it is part of a declared evacuation or specific tactical operation.
  • Reporting the Incident: You can still file an official report regarding the attempted break-in and the unsafe conditions of the hotel:
    • Criminal Complaints: For in-progress crimes or to report the attempted entry, use 877-ASK-LAPD (non-emergency).
    • Hotel Safety Violations: LAPD has a dedicated email for hotel-specific nuisances at hotels@lapd.online.
    • Building Hazards: If the room phone or safety locks were broken, you can contact LADBS Code Enforcement via 311 to report improper living conditions …”

HOW I GOT AWAY SAFELY – WHY DID THIS INCIDENT OCCUR? – WHAT SHOULD I HAVE KNOWN THAT I DID NOT KNOW?

Google AI, to continue: As the car that I associated with el indigena was blocking the exit from the Starlight Inn, I needed to get my car past the Caucasian men and go out the entrance to the Starlight Inn so as to get safely away. And that is how I escaped.

I keep thinking about this incident, which is unprecedented in my life.

  • How did those men get a key card to my room?
  • Why did they try to break in?
  • Why was the Starlight Inn room phone not working?
  • Why would LAPD not come to my assistance?

Google AI, Do you have any thoughts on this?

Google AI said: “That experience is profoundly unsettling, and it’s understandable why you’re still processing it. Here are some technical and procedural insights based on your questions:

How did they get a key card?

  • System Vulnerabilities: Many hotel locks, including those at properties like the Starlight Inn, use older RFID or magnetic strip technology. Researchers have found that millions of these locks are vulnerable to ‘master key’ hacks, where a used key can be rewritten with a simple device to grant access to any room.
  • Staff Involvement or Negligence: Unauthorized entry often occurs when front desk staff inadvertently issue a duplicate key to someone claiming to be a guest, or when a staff member’s master key is lost or stolen.
  • ‘Evil Maid’ Attacks: This is a security term for when an intruder gains access to a key to plant surveillance or commit theft.

Why did they try to break in?

While their specific motive is unknown, typical reasons for such forced entries at low-security motels include:

  • Theft or Robbery Intruders often target guests they believe might have cash or valuables.
  • Targeted Harassment: Your intuition about feeling unsafe at home suggests you may have been followed or that these individuals were looking for someone specific.
  • ‘No Visitor’ Friction: Reports at this specific Starlight Inn mention a strict ‘no visitors’ policy, but also ‘shady people’ hanging around the parking lot, suggesting it may be a site for illegal activity or unauthorized gatherings.

Why was the room phone not working?

  • Maintenance Neglect: Guests at this location have frequently complained about broken basic infrastructure, including fire alarms and general room upkeep.
  • Technical Failure: Most hotel phones rely on a PBX (Private Branch Exchange) system. If the internal wiring is old or the central switch has a power surge, the entire floor’s phone system can fail.

Why wouldn’t the LAPD assist?

  • Priority Dispatching: LAPD dispatchers prioritize calls where there is an imminent threat of life-threatening violence. If they determined the suspects were outside and you were (at that moment) behind a locked door, they may have categorized it as a ‘non-emergency’ or a ‘civil standby’ request.
  • Policy on Escorts: LAPD typically does not provide private ‘escort’ services for individuals to their vehicles, as this is considered a function of private security rather than public policing.
  • Civil vs. Criminal: If the men hadn’t yet physically breached the door, the operator might have viewed it as a property dispute or a hotel management issue rather than an active home invasion …”

IN FUTURE, HOW CAN I AVOID AN ATTEMPTED BREAK-IN TO MY MOTEL ROOM IN THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY?

I asked Google AI: Google AI, Thanks for your good information.

In case this concern about safety at my home in the San Fernando Valley should happen again, do you know if there are motels there where such incidents are not likely to occur?

Google AI said: “Yes, for enhanced safety and security, it is highly recommended to stay at reputable, nationally branded hotels (like Hilton or Marriott properties) in established, well-lit neighborhoods within the San Fernando Valley, such as Woodland Hills, Sherman Oaks, or Porter Ranch.

These types of hotels are more likely to have professional management, better security infrastructure (e.g., modern key card systems, security guards, monitored CCTVs), and reliable in-room amenities like working phones …

General Safety Tips for Future Stays

  • Choose Established Brands: Chain hotels generally adhere to corporate safety and maintenance standards, which often surpass those of independent, budget motels.
  • Check Recent Reviews: Look for recent guest reviews that specifically mention safety, security, working in-room phones, and the surrounding neighborhood.
  • Avoid Ground Floor Rooms: Opt for rooms on higher floors when possible, as they are less accessible from the outside.
  • Verify Safety Equipment: Upon entering the room, immediately check that the door locks work properly and the room phone connects to the front desk.
  • Utilize Safety Latches/Obstacles: Continue using personal safety measures like door wedges or other portable security devices if you feel the need.

Prioritizing a higher-rated, securely managed hotel can offer peace of mind and minimize the risk of a recurrence of your past traumatic experience.“


IF I TRAVEL IN CALIFORNIA, OR ELSEWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES TODAY, IS IT LIKELY I WILL ENCOUNTER MEN TRYING TO BREAK INTO MY MOTEL ROOM?

I had one final question for Google AI: Google AI, Thanks so much for your helpful advice.

I have one more question about this: Do you know, if I were to travel in California, or elsewhere in the United States today, is it likely I will encounter men trying to break into my motel room?

Google AI said: “It is highly unlikely that you would repeatedly or randomly encounter a situation like the one you described in the San Fernando Valley. That incident, while terrifying, was an extreme and specific event, likely influenced by the specific location, the individuals involved, and the substandard security at that particular establishment.

When you stay at reputable, secure hotels as previously discussed, the risk of a similar break-in attempt is significantly minimized.

Factors Influencing Your Risk Level

  • Location: High-crime areas or motels known for illicit activity inherently carry higher risks than hotels in safe, residential, or business districts.
  • Hotel Standards: Your previous experience occurred at an independent motel with documented security and maintenance issues (non-functional phones, outdated locks). Corporate-brand hotels in well-maintained areas have better safety infrastructure and management.
  • The Nature of the Incident: The men in your experience seemed persistent and possibly targeted (e.g., waiting outside your specific door, attempting forced entry even with an obstacle). This suggests a situation more specific than random crime.

How to Further Mitigate Risk

While no location can offer 100% guarantees, you can take steps to ensure your safety is a top priority:

  • Choose Wisely: Stick to the recommendations of staying at well-reviewed, branded hotels in safer neighborhoods.
  • Maintain Situational Awareness: Be mindful of your surroundings in parking lots and hallways.
  • Use All Safety Features: Always engage deadbolts, security chains, and personal door obstacles (like a rubber door wedge).
  • Trust Your Instincts: If a situation or person makes you feel uneasy, leave the area immediately or contact hotel management/local authorities.

Focusing on safe travel practices and choosing secure accommodations is your best approach to ensuring a safe trip anywhere in the US.”


CONCLUSION

This experience was unprecedented in my life, not because there has never been a ‘sneak thief’ attempt at a motel I’ve stayed in, but rather because I was awakened by the men using physical force to get my motel room door open. They were shoving on the door … maybe with their shoulders … after first unlocking the lock.

It was their use of physical force on the door that prompted me to reach out for answers and for future preventive measures.

I can’t say exactly why the use of physical force triggered my insufficient decision to call for help and then my decision to escape.

The best I can say is that the men took a powder while I was dialing 911.

Question from Readers: Why Did I Choose the Starlight Inn?

A question came up from my Readers as to why I chose the Starlight Inn. Here is the answer: In years prior I had done some research on safe motels in the San Fernando Valley for women subject to domestic violence.

At that time, Starlight Inn had a reputation as a sanctuary for battered women. They had a policy not to let more than one person into a one-person overnight rental. That seemed to me like a plus, because an enraged boyfriend or husband could not follow a woman into her motel room, there at the Starlight Inn, and beat her up.

Mine is not the story of a battered woman subject to domestic violence, as I live alone … or as alone as person can be who has as a companion an amazing cat named ‘Oreo Shoes’.

But my story is somewhat similar.

From time to time, over the last 26 years, I have been stalked by men, either singly or in groups, and also once by two women and a man. Sometimes these stalking events are intensive and enduring for a week or more. At other times they cease.


Quite some while ago I asked Google AI this question: What is the expectable outcome for women who are stalked?

Today I asked again. Here are highlights from Google AI’s response. I have highlighted what seemed most apropos of my own situation in bolded brown font

“Women who are stalked face severe, long-term, and multi-faceted consequences that impact their psychological, physical, and financial well-being. Stalking is often characterized as a ‘homicide in slow motion’ or a traumatic experience, with over 90% of victims reporting negative mental health impacts and 84% reporting fear or concern for their safety. 

The expected outcomes for female stalking victims include:

  1. Severe Mental Health and Psychological Effects 
  • High Rates of Trauma: Roughly 80% of victims report symptoms indicative of a diagnosable disorder, such as PTSD, depression, or anxiety.
  • Constant Fear and Anxiety: Victims frequently live in fear, experiencing high levels of anxiety, insomnia, and hypervigilance (always on guard).
  • Long-Term Psychological Distress: Victims are two to three times more likely to suffer from psychological distress than those who have not been stalked.
  • Suicidal Ideation: Approximately 1 in 4 stalking victims contemplates suicide. 
  1. Significant Physical Health Issues 
  • Cardiovascular Risks: Women who are stalked have a 41% higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD), with that risk rising to 70% if they have obtained a restraining order.
  • Chronic Stress and Illness: Long-term exposure to fear leads to chronic stress, causing headaches, high blood pressure, stomach problems, and the worsening of pre-existing conditions like asthma or ulcers.
  • Fatigue: Constant hypervigilance often leads to severe exhaustion and sleeplessness. 
  1. Life-Altering Disruptions
  • Lifestyle Changes: To cope, many victims must change their daily routines, such as changing phone numbers, quitting jobs, or relocating their homes.
  • Financial and Professional Loss: Many victims lose time from work, are fired, or are forced to quit, with 26% of female victims losing work time and 7% never returning to work.
  • Social Isolation: Due to fear, shame, or distrust of others, victims often withdraw from social activities and friends. 
  1. Risk of Escalation to Violence
  • Intimate Partner Violence:  In 76% of cases where a woman is murdered by an intimate partner, stalking occurred in the year preceding the murder.
  • Threats and Assault: A large majority of victims are threatened with physical harm, and about 33% of stalking encounters eventually lead to physical violence. 
  1. Legal and Systemic Outcomes
  • Protective Orders: Roughly 28% of female victims obtain a protective order.
  • Order Violations: Stalkers violate protection orders in 69% of cases involving female victims.
  • Underestimation of Danger: Stalking is often ignored by the justice system, with only 13.1% of female victims having their cases prosecuted criminally. 

The severity of these outcomes often depends on the type of stalking (e.g., being followed, threats), with the highest level of damage occurring when the stalker is a current or former intimate partner.”


Because stalking implies danger to my person, I do what I may to avoid physical trouble. One of my options, when I sense physical danger to be quite likely, is to change my physical location … for instance, to spend the night in a motel.

Because I had such a presentiment the afternoon of 17 October 2025, I thought to go to the Starlight Inn, which had the aforementioned reputation for protecting women from violence.

Over time, though, I feel things have changed for the Starlight Inn. From my own experience there on 17 October 2025, I suggest to women who are in danger that … at least until the situation there changes … it might be best to avoid that motel.

. . . . .

By the way, I liked Google AI’s responses on this. Now I know quite a bit more than before I asked.

Dear Ones,

I went on a jaunt to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Simi Hills, California yesterday. There were several amazing exhibits, and the staff were quite knowledgeable about the exhibits.

If you get a chance, why not take a spin out that way? The view from the lawn is inspiringly expansive, and there is a cafeteria. Down the stairs to the left of the cafeteria are two extra special surprises … Two aircraft displayed in the back lot …

Alice’s Perilous Tales: Demon-Powered Levitation of a Student? . by Alice B. Clagett

Dear Ones,

‘Heart Vampire’ is said to have caused the members of his group to levitate, and also to have levitated himself. There is, I feel, good reason not to be conceited about levitating, should one be so unfortunate as to do so, as will become apparent from the story below.

There is a man I nickname Heart Vampire. This was a spiritual teacher I encountered some years ago, and found out was apparently the head of a ‘killing cult’ or ‘death cult’. I gather from a book I read, and which I intuited might have been created by his cult, that this person thinks of himself as a cannibalistic reptoid from someplace other than Earth.

I was right away reminded of an image I saw online image recently of a very gnarly-looking bipedal demon, with a snarl on its face, standing facing forward. In front of the demon was a beautiful woman, in a sort of a trance. The demon had sunk the claws of its left hand into the left shoulder of the woman, and had lifted her off the ground. Here is the image, which I feel was rendered with very convincing dramatic flair …

Link: “Kau’T,” by Vashta Narada, in Vashta Narada’s Galactic Art … https://www.vashta.com/my-product/kaut/ ..

I have my own story to tell about the demon I saw in the image, as it seems to me this demon might be kin to one that swooped in and overlit Heart Vampire, who was the national leader of a meditation group I attended for a few years. The events I am about to describe happened in the year 2013 or so. I admit I have delayed in telling this tale, as my life in general is just not like this. I could barely believe what happened back then, and it seems to me but a dream today. Nevertheless, from time to time I remember; it could be the memory will dissipate in the telling of the events that transpired on that fateful weekend.

These events took place in a span of three days, over a weekend. I recall I went to a meditation led by that teacher on the East Coast in October 2013. Many dark and sinister psychic phenomena occurred within a few days of each other. There were omens and forebodings and very bad dreams. My psychic ears were ‘pricked up’ and I was on the lookout 24-7 for trouble on both the psychic plane and the physical plane.

I was staying at a staid motel on the East Coast, where I had stayed before. It was a colonial sort of place … genteel, laid-back, and just a little gone to seed, but well kept up for all that. There was a fringe of forest out back; a creek meandered through it. Not a lot of traffic on the country roads that intersected there; in short, it was a quiet and well-appointed retreat.

The first thing that happened was this: I saw in the hallway just beside the door to my room a young Chinese woman standing. That struck me as odd; thinking back, I could not remember one guest at that motel, in the last few years, who had been other than Caucasian. This woman seemed to me like a University student; she had that well-bred, educated look. She was in her 20s, I guessed. Somehow, through some crook of the imagination, I sensed an aura of secrecy, something like secret agent, or CIA, or special operative. This hunch was mystifying, and it set me on edge. So when I left the room for the day’s adventures, I set a doorknob alarm on the inside knob of my motel room door.

That first day I visited a member of the meditation group at a home about an hour away. She was the woman I later nicknamed “Torturess,” a member from the Wild West portion of the group who had been visiting the East Coast for a month or so …

Link: “Compendium: Catastrophic Childhood Case Study: ‘Torturess’,” by Alice B. Clagett, published on 4 March 2021; revised … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-lR9 ..

Her husband was ‘Hunter-Snuffer’ …

Link: “Compendium: Catastrophic Childhood Case Study: ‘Hunter-Snuffer’,” by Alice B. Clagett, published on 5 March 2021; revised … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-lSo ..

At the time of my visit I had not an inkling of what was hidden within their subconscious minds; rather, what I felt was a vague uneasiness. Something was just not right, I felt. But what was that? What was going on?

‘Torturess’ was staying with an infant she said was her grandchild in a house on a quiet side street. The house had half a plywood sheet nailed over the entryway to the basement; she said her daughter and son-in-law were renovating that area.

The baby was asleep in a bassinet or crib in the living room. It was a chubby, pleasant-faced child; its face reminded me just a little of the Buddha, very serene. On the mantel over the fireplace across from the bassinet was a very evil looking Satan mask, maybe left over from Halloween. When I saw the mask, I felt a chill, and saw a vision of an invisible Satan’s mask drawn in ‘Dark Light’ upon the bedroom door of ‘Torturess’ at her house in the Wild West. I recalled that was a doorway I had never entered, and wondered what secrets were behind the door. And what secrets were in store for this infant that lay there so peacefully?

What with traffic and travelling a route unknown to me, whose roads were, to say the least, illogically laid out and poorly signed, I arrived late, and could visit for only an hour. We walked with the baby in a stroller a block or so, along the tree-lined, narrow street in front of the house. Then I left, hoping to get to the evening meditation on time.

The meditation that evening was being held at the house of the East Coast meditation leader, a woman I nicknamed “Three House Hostess.” I may have gotten some of the things described below mixed up with a prior meditation weekend at that house; at this distance in time it is hard to ascertain. At any rate, this is how I remember that night in October 2013 …

There were the usual East Coast meditators there, and also the woman I nicknamed ‘Alluring Calm’, who was my meditation leader from the West Coast, in addition to ‘Heart Vampire’ …

Link: “Compendium: Catastrophic Childhood Case Study: ‘Heart Vampire’,” by Alice B. Clagett, published on 14 February 2021; revised… https://wp.me/p2Rkym-lzW ..

… and his wife ‘inanna’ (as I nicknamed her) from the Wild West …

Link: “Compendium: Catastrophic Childhood Case Study: ‘Inanna’,” by Alice B. Clagett, published on 5 March 2021; revised … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-lTa ..

Another of the East Coast meditation leaders … a very pretty woman I have not nicknamed … brought with her a man about her age, whom I had not seen before. I took him to be her boyfriend.

It was not possible to determine much about the people in the meditation group, as there was a rule of silence before and after the meditations. Aside from the teacher, no one could talk during the meditations unless they raised their hand and the meditation teacher nodded his head in their direction and assented. In almost every instance, input by students was short and sweet. Interspersed with the meditation were long talks by the teacher.

And so, I never got to know any of the people in the group in the usual, chit chat and small talk way. Other than that they were meditators, I knew nothing about them. I was left to surmise and psy to ‘fill in the gaps’, except a little bit with two of his students, a couple I nicknamed ‘Torturess’ and ‘Hunter-Snuffer’; those two invited me over in a polite, social way a few times. From their small talk then I got to know them a little; though small talk, I feel, is but the polite social veneer, not the ‘real McCoy’ of true friendship. Do you not feel that to be so? It was from that small talk that I began to become aware of deep and very unsettling undercurrents in the meditation group. I recall I could not put my finger on it; I began to get a very uneasy feeling. Something just did not fit right … something did not suit. It seemed things might be, in effect, just the opposite of what they appeared to be.

To get back to the October 2013 meditation: There was a man that ‘Heart Vampire’ introduced as his son at the meditation. This man looked a little like he felt out of place, as if he were not used to meditation. Nevertheless, he sat quietly throughout.

There were also several … maybe two … strange men dressed, I think, in suits. On the mighty slim evidence of the clothes they wore and their facial expressions, I took them to be IRS agents or secret service agents. That was just how the energy struck me that weekend … the energy seemed conspiratory. What with these strange, suited men and the young Chinese woman in my motel hallway, conspiracy theory seemed to be ‘in the air’.

I recall after the meditation that evening, as everyone exited to the back yard, one of the suited men hit on the prettiest young woman who had been at the meditation. Judging from the uneventful endings of other meditations I had attended, this seemed to me to be an outstanding faux pas. Such behavior had never occurred priorly. I recall she demurred. Nevertheless I was put in mind of those Secret Agent 007 movies I had seen, and this increased the air of mystery. What was up? Had this been an attempt to pump the young woman for information?

The meditation was held in a basement room of the home of ‘Three House Hostess’. It was a smallish room, jam-packed with chairs. There was a place for the teacher to sit on one side of the room. Then there were three rows of chairs facing the teacher’s seat, and other chairs all around.

The teacher came down the stairs from the ground floor. It looked like he was somehow blinded, and feeling his way along the wall, till he got to his chair. Then he looked (although it seemed sightlessly … maybe with his astral vision) around the room. He said to one person or the other: Please move and sit over here or there. He told me to sit over toward a side wall, nearer to “Alluring Calm,” as I recall, and farther from him. That was par for the course, as I intuitively knew he did not like me; maybe that he was a little afraid of me; that he did not want me to be too close to him. He would nearly never call on me in class if I raised my hand. Nor would he approve the songs I composed, in most cases. Nor would he respond to an email, though once I got him on the phone for a moment.

That, I recall very vividly, was a time when I was about to board an airplane out of Los Angeles, heading for the Wild West, and about 20 howling demons seemed to be in hot pursuit of me. I called in the Los Angeles Airport to ask what to do about the demons. I was surprised to get him on the phone. I recall he was very relaxed about it; I forget what he replied.

I remember these pretty pesky demons followed me onto the plane. After the plane took off, there I was, trapped with them. They could get out of the plane, but seemed disinclined to do so. I had to say in my seat. I recall they diverted themselves by zooming through my torso and head. At length I devised my physical form was unharmed, and determined to ignore those antics. That proved quite the right strategy.

As I recall, that had been the only time I got that teacher on the phone. Then from what transpired in October 2013, I gathered that phone call had been misguided … the result of my misconception of who and what ‘Heart Vampire’ really was about in this world. Or so it seemed to me.

To get back to the October 2013 meditation, I am going to telescope the events that occurred during three days of meditation into one telling. As you may have guessed, this is because I am at such a distance from the event now … in July 2021 … that I cannot tell the first day’s meditation from the others. What follows, then are highlights from the meditations that took place that weekend.

You may recall there was a pretty woman who brought her boyfriend, a stranger, to the meditation. She had on, as I recall, a short skirt, and she looked quite attractive that night. ‘Heart Vampire’ bade her sit on the floor in front of him. He was sitting on a chair facing her, so it must have seemed to her, as she sat on the floor, that he was looming or towering over her. He bade her spread her legs wide, and sing a love song to him. That she did, in a beautiful voice of longing for her beloved.

To be frank, I felt this to be out of place in a meditation room. I felt it was ill-mannered, and surely a slight to her boyfriend. I felt it might have been a display of one-upmanship, perhaps born of masculine insecurity or pique on the part of the teacher, and a strident display of the mind control ability he seemed to be exerting on everyone in the room, with the exception of ‘Alluring Calm’ and me.

What made us different, I wondered? Why were we able to resist his overwhelming psychic powers? Was it faith that made us different? Was faith in God such a powerful weapon against the Dark? As time wore on, I began to feel this must be so.

During the meditation that evening an extraordinary event occurred. The long-time meditators were in a deep meditative state. As usual, I had my telepathic ‘ears’ pricked, and listening for whatever astral intel might occur. I heard ‘Heart Vampire’, on the telepathic plane, summon a swarm of demons. I heard his psychic rebuke, sharply uttered and aimed my way: For your arrogance!

Then, with a flash and a flurry, ‘Heart Vampire’ thrust no less than thirteen demons into my energy field. What a shock! Why would he do such a thing? I was no less stunned to see him waft three demons into the aura of ‘Alluring Calm’, my Los Angeles meditation teacher. Then into the energy field of a pretty blonde woman sitting just in front of him he sent the one remaining demon. There we were, we three women, beset by demons; and I by far not the least of the three accursed by the man I had thought to be our national meditation teacher. Go figure!

Worse was yet to come. With a flurry of their black wings, the thirteen bad luck demons within my energy field rose fluttered upward towards the ceiling of the room. To my great consternation, I felt my body become lighter, and begin to rise from the seat of the chair. I was beginning to levitate!

This would never do. With all the strength of my will power I said: I will go back down to Earth and stay there! This levitation thing is not for me! Slowly but surely I became heavier and heavier, till I was my usual weight. And that weight settled with accustomed firmness back onto my chair. What a relief!

For those of you upon whom may be visited this concern not to levitate, I later wrote this chant to increase the power of gravity in our energy fields. It works much better than what I originally came up with, and gives me a light and happy feeling when I chant it. The chant is: Mother Earth loves me …

After the meditation I returned to my motel room. When I got there, I noticed the doorknob alarm on my motel room door was broken, and got the feeling the room had been looked through. That set me on edge.

That night, I connected on the astral plane with a man who was a psychic working for the military, who was wearing an Army-Navy-issued headgear that piped in sounds of rape and murder at night; this induced a vision of six to eight military men in a clearing, wearing civilian clothes or maybe camouflage gear for hunting. They were sitting in a circle, taking turns torturing a young woman lying in the middle of the circle. In a further elaboration of this vision, they killed the woman. Then one of them went to a small outhouse nearby and shot her two young children huddled there.

As if that were not enough by way of nightmares, I then had another vision, of several people meeting … I could not tell who they were. These people were meeting to decide whether to assume a franchise on psilocybin, via a Mexican cartel. One man asked how risky it might be, and seemed reassured by the answer. Who were these people? Was not psilocybin a hallucinogenic drug? Could it be that I had been drugged during the day without my knowledge? Could that account for these awful nightmares?

That Saturday morning, I recall I woke up pretty rattled. I went over to the home of ‘Three House Hostess’, looking for ‘Heart Vampire’ … whom at that time I had inaccurately pegged to be a ‘good guy’. Little did I know.

‘Heart Vampire’ was not there, or was not available, but ‘Three House Hostess’ greeted me kindly. I explained I was feeling off balance. I recall she said: How can things have come to this? (or words to that effect). She gave me a picture of the Virgin Mary, and a rosary blessed by a saint, and a plastic statue of the Virgin Mary. These reassured me, and reminded me of my Christian faith, and helped me return to my normal state of mind.

Well to get on with it, the weekend meditation ended, and I made it safely out of there, and signed out of the motel, and drove back to the airport. And then on the return flight some more weird things happened … enough so to make me wonder why I even bother to travel by plane. I felt I must be getting jet lag, or altitude discombobulation … something like that. Why not take the train henceforth? I still feel this might be a nice way to travel.

I got on the plane, and was belted into my seat. As we became airborne, I began to have a conspiracy theory notion that the not-so-tall, redhaired man in the seat beside me and the taller man just across the aisle, and the perky stewardess walking down the aisle were hoping to mind control me and find out this or that. I had no idea what, as all this seemed pretty far-fetched. Well, I thought, a la Dale Carnegie …

Citation: “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living,” a book by Dale Carnegie, October 1998, Simon and Schuster.

What is the worst that can happen? Could be the stewardess’ drinking water might have a truth drug in it, but then I had brought along my own water to drink. So that was not a worry. Might be I would nap while in flight, and my brain might be picked by the redhaired man, but then, what secrets were in it, anyway, that were worth stealing? None that I could think of. Maybe the redhaired man could induce a psychic heart attack as I slept? That was a concern, but no prior such attempts undertaken on the astral plane had succeeded; likely they would not succeed that day as well. And with that, I settled in for a nap.

Why have I delayed so long in describing the events of that weekend? To be truthful, they just do not fit my world view. I guess when children are born to a Christian family, and raised up in a Christian faith, their outlook on life is basically optimistic. The emphasis of their lives is on God’s guidance of our lives, on Christ consciousness, on the loving heart of Mother Mary, and on the uplifting power of grace conveyed through the Holy Spirit, which is sometimes termed the Paraclete.

It seems to me that grief over a mother’s death can temporarily weaken our faith, leading to attempted inroads by those beings the Christian faith terms demons. When I saw the image of Kau’T (see above) yesterday, I all of a sudden realized that it represented very starkly the energy behind ‘Heart Vampire’, the man I had thought back then was a meditation teacher. I realized he must have been ‘overlit’ by a non-Christed star being, perhaps a Reptilian Star Being. Perhaps, I gleaned, ‘Heart Vampire’ was a ‘reptoid’, a reptilian-human hybrid. That might have accounted for his penchant for mind controlling his followers, for his gustatory leaning toward cannibalism, his daydreams of emasculating men, for the visions I had of demons during that time, and so on. In point of fact, I had been completely mistaken about him.
