Dear Ones,

I took many nature photos on a hike at Victory Trailhead, Simi Hills, California, on 3 January 2025. Some of these photos appear in the blogs that feature the videos I made that day; some of the photos do no appear there.

I thought it might be helpful to publish an overview of all the good photos taken that day. I offer this overview as a series of five sets of photos.

This fifth and last set of images has to do with my post entitled “A Talk with the Grasshoppers.” There are the cover image; a helicopter image; and images of the Deva of Simi Hills and its nature spirits …

INTRODUCTION

Dear Ones,

This video is about my first ever talk with the Grasshoppers.

There is an edited Summary after the video. The Summary as in it quite interesting and informative callouts from the main video (the whole kit and caboodle)  …

VIDEO BY ALICE

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

A TALK WITH THE GRASSHOPPERS

Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.

Just now I was hearing a sound like very tiny wind chimes … very, very high-pitched … coming from this mountainous hill right here [points to her left]. For most people the sound was so high-pitched it might be ultrasonic. Most people could not hear it.

1: Maybe You Could Hear Us. Maybe You Could Not.

Whatever made the sound was saying: Maybe you could hear us. Maybe you could not!

………..

2. Sound of the Grasshoppers – Can You Hear Them?

Can you hear them?

………..

Telepathically I said: What kind of being are you?

And they said: We are sentimental beings.

And I said: You are sentimental beings?

They said: Yes. If you feel sentimental you will hear us.

………..

3. Sound of the Grasshoppers – It Sounds Like Cymbals!

So I stopped for a minute, and then I said: Are you Grasshoppers?

And they said: Yes, we are.

Alice to Readers: Can you hear them?

………..

Alice to Readers: It sounds like the percussion instruments called ‘’cymbals’ grating … very, very high-pitched … an extremely high-pitched background sound. It is really hard to explain. It sounds like cymbals made of weeds … made of dry weed stalks.

………..

Ok, I am hearing more of the Grasshopper story …

………..

4. Why Are You Sentimental Beings?

Grasshoppers say …

I said to the Grasshoppers: Why are you sentimental beings?

They said: We ARE sentimental beings. When we want to go away, we hop away. And then we think we want to go back.

I said: Why don’t you go back?

They said: We feel sentimental. We want to go back, but we don’t know where to go back.

Alice to Grasshoppers: It is hard to find another place where you already were, when all those tall things [dry weed stalks] are around you! It seems like the same place everywhere, sort of …

………..

5. What Is in That Other Place – That First Place That’s So Special?

What is in that other place … that first place … that is so special? … [Listens] …

They said: We have a friendship with those other types of animals in that place where … [Listens] … where we used to be.

Alice to Readers: This is the very first time I have talked to Grasshoppers. I did not know that they felt sentimental for the other animals in the place where they used to be … [Listens] …

The Grasshoppers said: Yes we do. We love these animals very much. And we hope they will be OK.

Alice to Readers: Now you know about the Grasshoppers.

………..

6. What Grasshoppers Say About Helicopter Pilots

A helicopter just went by. It was all black.

The people in the helicopter said: You’re talking to the Grasshoppers, Alice Clagett.

I said: Yes.

And I said to the Grasshoppers: I’ll bet THEY’RE not sentimental beings.

And the Grasshoppers said: Yes they are! They fly away someplace, then they want to come back.

Alice to Readers: There is another helicopter. I don’t know if you can see it.

There it goes. [Helicopter goes off somewhere.] Something is up.

………..

Alice to Readers: I was just thinking and trying to find a way to describe to you the sound that Grasshoppers make. I think it sounds like they are rubbing dry stems of weeds or blades of grass together to make sounds.

And they said: Yes we are!

Alice to Readers: People are passing me on the trail. They’re looking ‘incredible-ized’.  [Chuckles.] I’M ‘incredible-ized’!

Alice to Grasshoppers: Grasshoppers, THANK you. Thank you for explaining. Thank you very much!

………..

7. Blessing of the Deva of Simi Hills and of the Nature Spirits (Slow Motion)

Alice to Readers: Wow! Grasshoppers!

More Information for Callout 7. The Incoming Light dances as it blesses us.

The shape that the Incoming Light takes in this video is that of the Deva of Simi Hills. The Deva is an Angel charged by God with the fruitful care f the Simi Hills.

The Diamond-Shaped Lights that you can see in this video are Nature Spirits – Children of the Deva of Simi Hills. Like their Deva, the Nature Spirits send us their own blessing of the Incoming Light.

In love, light and joy
