Pragmatic Prophet: Take Care to Avoid Threat of Violence Till Masks Come Off . by Alice B. Clagett

Written and published on 27 February 2022
Location: Los Angeles, California

Dear Ones,

Here is a rough graph of California daily COVID cases, and another of California daily COVID deaths …

Image: “Comparison of California Daily COVID Cases to Deaths,” by Alice B. Clagett, 27 February 2022, CC BY-SA 4.0, CC BY-SA 4.0, from “Awakening with Planet Earth,” https://awakeningwithplanetearth.com … DESCRIPTION: Roughly traced from graphs found online … COMMENT: In January 2021, when the Delta variant of COVID was predominant, it is clear there was a surge of COVID cases and quite a spike in COVID deaths in California. About a year later, in mid-January 2022, when the Omicron variant of COVID was predominant, there were many more cases of COVID than in January 2021, and about 10 days later (which would have been the approximate incubation period), there was a lesser surge of deaths. This showed that Omicron was more infectious than Delta, and that it was less deadly. That is common knowledge, of course. But what concerns me is that, between the top of the California daily COVID deaths surge (about 29 January 2022) and yesterday (26 February 2022) the decrease in California COVID cases has not kept pace with the decrease in COVID cases. California COVID deaths remain high. The same is true for the concomitant graphs for the United States as a whole.

The Voice of the Desert Fathers . referral by Alice B. Clagett

Dear Ones.

Here is a great interview by Leath Tonino with Douglas Christie. This interview was published in The Sun Magazine, a favorite read of mine, as I have a notion that some of my writer and poet friends here in Los Angeles have their works published in it under pen names. Here is the interview …

Link: “The Sun Interview: The Desert Within: Douglas Christie on the Power of Silence and Contemplation,” by Leath Tonino, in The Sun, January 2022 … https://www.thesunmagazine.org/issues/553/the-desert-within ..

The topic of the interview is the Christian tradition of leading the contemplative life, beginning with the desert fathers and mothers … the ‘abbas’ and ‘ammas’ … of the early Christian tradition. Hallmarks of this way of life, to which I as a Lightworker and a Christian have for many years subscribed, are living (insofar as is practical, in the current days) a secluded life, fasting, meditation in every waking moment, sexual abstinence, and prayer.

On a personal note, I cannot say I am making much headway on fasting (as you may surmise), but I find I am better than I used to be with some of the other signposts of this way of life, which may be all the aspiring ascetic and advaitist may hope for in the relatively short length of time we humans are on Earth.

The idea is to practice silence in daily life, so as to hear the voice of God within our own hearts and minds, and to carry out His will in our daily lives.

I see the early Christian desert fathers wrote a text called the “Apophthegmata Patrum Aegyptiorum” (‘The Sayings of the Desert Fathers’), which was a compilation of stories and sayings. Would that not be fun to read?! I see several versions of this book are offered in translation on Amazon.com.

In love, light and joy,
I Am of the Stars
