Dear Ones,
This video is about an astral story to do with the various secret services, apparently inspired by black magic in the form of a curse or spell. This is an astral story that is now leaving Earth.
Also, there is information about the importance of diversity to the strength and welfare of America, and the importance of honoring those whom we choose as leaders of our country,
I feel that mass media could assist in this transformation, perhaps by portraying the secret services in a more honorable, and more truthful Light.
There is an edited Summary after the video …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.
I thought I would mention something I just found out about. There has been a lot of talk in the astral stories lately about a very evil group or entity that unfortunately is termed, on the astral airs, the ‘Secret Service’ (?!).
This is a kind of a hellworld scenario where this ‘secret service’ or these ‘secret agents’ (like those on television) embody demonic qualities like killing for personal reasons, or raping women, killing children, things like that … things that our secret service, our true government and our true secret service consider to be crimes, you know?
So what it is … what these astral stories are about … is an attempt by the demon world to instill in us fear of our own government agencies that are sworn to protect us as citizens. This is not true.
I have spoken before about the Black Magic Mass, and reversals, and so forth, that black magickers use to change things that are inherently good into something that is bad.
This is a new term, I guess, but I could term this the ‘Black Magic Secret Service’ … or the ‘Black Secret Service’ for short. This is a very loaded term right now; apparently it is being used, in the negative astral realm, by negative astral beings, to cause more chaos in world government.
The difficulty … and the wonderful thing … is that for the first time in the United States history, we have elected a person of color, Barack Obama, to the presidency. It really says a lot for us as a people, that we have finally broken down that wall of prejudice against people who are a very important part of the American culture.
Because this is a new thing, and a wonderful new change for us, it raises some opposing feelings from people who are not willing to change. And so the sentiment of these people, to speak badly of our president, is embodied in this notion of calling him ‘black’, when in fact these days we speak of people of color in very different ways.
For instance, we might use the term ‘African American’ … which is similar to the terms ‘Asian American’ and ‘Latin American’. We always use the word ‘American’ … because all our citizens … no matter what culture; no matter what race … are American, and help to create the rich tapestry of diversity that is this country. We are one of the most diverse countries in the world, and that is one of our great strengths.
Now to get back to this issue of the term ‘Black Secret Service’: It is possible that, in the negative astral realm, this term is being used pejoratively to refer to our current president, whom I feel to be a very heroic figure in American history. History, I feel, will speak of this pejorative. I would like to expose that right now, as simply a ploy of a world of hatred and lack of free will, and lack of consideration for the welfare of the world, and lack of consideration for what was known in the old days as ‘the common good’. I want you to know where I stand with regard to this.
Now to get on with this topic of the ‘Black Magic Secret Service’: It is just a black magic ploy to make us fearful of something that is good. There is no truth in it.
God bless you all.

Dear Ones,
ACCEPTABLE COLLATERAL DAMAGE MENTAL FILTER
I have come across an astral story recently that is really ‘out there’. There has been talk in recent years about the notion of acceptable collateral damage. Some feel that this notion, while regrettable, is a practical one.
This implied consent to the practicality of the notion has apparently led to the circulation of the Acceptable Collateral Damage Mental Filter in the noosphere. I feel this mental filter is completely without merit or truth, and that it is being used by antisocial personalities (ASPs) … who are quite wily, when all is said and done … as cover for their serial killing and other crimes.
MISSING CHILDREN: FEAR THAT FUELS THE MYTH
One sees posters from time to time about missing children. The famous case of the missing Dylan Redwine boy is one such instance …
There are many other cases of missing children all over the world, and even here in the United States. I expect that may contribute to the tenacity of this astral story in the noosphere. The story goes like this …
RATIOCINATION ABOUT SECRET SERVICE OPERATIVES BEING ENTITLED TO HOMELAND KILLS AS A RETIREMENT PERK
The notion of collateral damage is considered acceptable … regrettable, but practical in today’s world. So then, along the lines of practicality, the astral story continues like this: What is the proper hiring profile for the intelligence agencies of the world? Would not an antisocial personality, such as a serial killer, be perfect for this job? But then, what would be the retirement prerogatives of an intelligence agent who is an ASP?
Practically speaking … but regrettably so … this astral story then makes an assumption regarding acceptable collateral damage among the relatively powerless portions of a homeland population. For instance, the retired ASP operative might be assigned an acceptable kill rate per month among ‘the powerless’ citizens of a small town, such as …
children
single women
the elderly
people with alternate lifestyles
homeless men and women
underserved ethnicities
WOULD AMERICANS BE WILLING TO ACCEPT SUCH A GAME PLAN?
What a sci fi scenario that would be, would it not? How would the people of a country feel about having retired ASPs at work ‘in their own back yard’? In America, whose Declaration of Independence, the very cornerstone of our country, states that this notion of acceptable collateral damage in one’s own backyard clearly would not fly …
How many ‘hits’ might an ASP operative be expected to make during his or her working life, serving their country?
How many ‘hits’ per year, among their home country population, might be considered acceptable collateral damage?
How many years might they expect to live after retirement?
The average American would multiply the ‘hits’ per retirement year by the life expectancy of the retired ASP operative, and compare the product to the number of hits during the operative’s working life. I crunched these numbers below …
Hits per Retired Operative: The Conservative Estimate
10 years as an operative = possibly a maximum of 10 ‘hits’ while working. 40 years retirement, at 1 hypothetically approved homeland retirement ‘hit’ per month = (40 retirement years) x (12 months per year) = 480 hypothetically approved homeland retirement ‘hits’. 480 – 10 = 470 freebie ‘hits’ in one ASP operative’s lifetime. In other words, the 10 hits while working as an operative would be balanced by 10 of the ‘freebie’ homeland retirement hits. And the remaining 470 freebie hits would be way in excess of a ‘murder credit’ that might be unfathomably assigned by a government to its retired operatives.
Hits per Retired Operative: The Estimate If Things Get Out of Hand
With ASPs, things can get out of hand at times, depending primarily on substance abuse and the opportunistic synchrony resulting from keeping bad company. And so, ‘hits’ can ratchet up from 1 per month (which an ASP would consider the model of prudent self-restraint) to 1 per week (or more) (which an ASP would consider simply to be ‘bad timing’ from the standpoint of possible public scrutiny).
Crunching the numbers from the perspective of 1 ‘hit’ per week, it would be (40 retirement years) x (52 weeks per year) = 2,080 homeland ‘hits’ during an ASP’s retirement. 2,080 – 10 would then = 2,070 freebie ‘hits’ in one ASP operative’s lifetime, from a pragmatic standpoint.
The True Numbers of Homeland Citizens That Might be Slain
An ASP is an ASP, all his or her life, and the ‘hit’ pattern continues throughout the ASP’s life. One ought thus to calculate into such a hypothetical scenario out of hand ‘hits’ starting at, say, 9 years of age, and on through, say, 30 years of age, which would be a putative retirement date.
That would be (21 years preretirement) x (12 months per year) = 252 additional freebie homeland ‘hits’ in a conservative scenario.
Or, in an out-of-hand. weekly ‘hit’ scenario, (21 years pretirement) x (52 weeks per year) = 1,092 preretirement hits.
Adding It All Up …
Conservative scenario ofone ‘hit’ per month: (252 preretirement ‘hits’) + (480 freebie ‘hits’ during retirement) = 732 homeland lives lost during one ASP’s lifetime.
‘Out of hand’ scenario of one ‘hit’ per week: (1,092 preretirement ‘hits’) + (2,080 ‘hits’ during retirement) = 3,172 homeland lives lost during one ASP’s lifetime.
What Conclusion Would the Average American Reach, as to Permissiveness Regarding Homeland Slayings by Retired Operatives?
Then the average American would very likely conclude that the cost in the lives of those he loved … the threat of death to his children, his wife, his fellow co-workers and their families … far outweighed the service the ASP had provided to his country.
I feel this to be true: Americans would vote, hands down, against such an astral story taking up space in their personal reality. It’s quite clear that this mental filter is nothing but a ‘Hollywood movie’ that has wafted into everyone’s Awareness on the astral plane.
ON OPTIMIZING TIMELINES SO AS TO ELIMINATE DENSE TIMELINES
This New Earth sparkles with love and Light. We can change everything, in the wink of an eye! When these sorts of dense timeline scenarios waft into my Awareness, I very quickly turn to timeline optimization …
Spirit to Team! Optimize Timelines! For the All, through Free Will!
The minute I do so, all is new, and fresh, and full of love and Light. I see before me the freedom to live my life, with all the liberties our great Constitution provides … to pursue my own happiness … to follow my heart, on a beautiful, sunny summer day, here in America, the Land of the Free.
In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.

FORGIVENESS IS THE KEY TO THE EXIT DOOR FROM THE HELLWORLDS
REPEATING ASTRAL PHRASES AS A FEATURE OF OUR COMMENSAL ORGANISMS
Dear Ones,
ON EXPANDING INTO THE HELLWORLDS ON THE ASTRAL PLANE WHILE IN PHYSICAL FORM
The astral stories I have been hearing lately bear some striking resemblances to hellworld scenes …
Citation: “The Astral Body and Other Astral Phenomena,” compiled by Arthur E. Powell, published 1927, Quest Book edition 1973, copyright The Theosophical Publishing House, London, Ltd. 1965 … especially, see “Chapter XIV. The After-Death Life: Particulars,” and “Chapter XV. The After-Death Life: Special Cases.”
… and would make sense, since we are expanding from the physical into the astral plane as the Awakening process continues.
Thus, with our clair senses we are encountering the hellworld scenes that are clearing off Earth. It is almost like we are bumping into careening screen sets, or actors who are performing flying skits are swooping by.
Knowing that this is so is quite a big relief … there is nothing that needs to be changed about this unhappy energy, and no need to be concerned about it … it is simply leaving … clearing off Earth. All we need do is give it our blessing and wave farewell.
ON CHOOSING AMONG ALTERNATE REALITIES
There are other ways of looking at this … for instance, one might visualize Tom Kenyon’s “Sphere of All Possibilities” …
As he says, we make a choice of one possibility. When we choose that possibility, we move into Awareness of this wished-for reality.
But what about the other possibilities? My feeling is, each of these possibilities spins off into an alternate reality. This was a handy way to construct the third dimension in order for Free Will to be granted us.
Until the Awakening, when we wished for a new possibility, we might fall into one of our concurrently running alternate realities. Or we might create a new one. I could be wrong about this, but it seems to me that both choices existed before the Awakening … that of picking up a previously spun-off possibility, as well as that of creating a new one. There is also the trick of pulling time forward or back … of flowing our Awareness into the future or back into the past.
ON MULTIDIMING AND MULTITIMING
When a non-selected possibility is spun off, it exists as one of our many time-space continuums, but does not exist in our Awareness …. unless we multidime (experience multiple dimensions or ‘multidimensionality’) or multitime (experience multiple timelines or ‘multitemporality’).
Multidiming and multitiming are to hold several alternate realities in our Awareness at the same time, either with regard to alternate dimensions or with regard to alternate timelines. This is a choice being taken more and more by humankind as the Awakening unfolds.
ON MERGING DIMENSIONS AND TIMELINES
When we hold several realities in our Awareness simultaneously, then the reality with lesser Light merges into the reality with greater Light. Which is what could be conceived as happening with the hellworlds right now … we could envision that we are clair-witnessing these negatively aspected alternate astral realities, and allowing them to merge with our positively aspected Awareness reality.
AMAZING ASTRAL STORIES
Here are a few of the skits that I found upsetting before I got a clear notion that hellworlds are drifting by and clearing, and which I am not bothered by now …
The astral story about men who want to have intercourse, but have no sex organs
There is a very clear parallel’s with C.W. Leadbeater’s letters “Life after Death” …
… which describe that people who are profligate while in body, and who then pass on to the astral plane, continue to have the craving for a very sensual, sexual life, but are unable to satisfy the craving on the astral plane.
They can gather round houses of ill repute, with a savage longing fueled by the samskara of sensual desire developed during Earthly life. At such places they can see people engaged in the act of sex, but they themselves cannot participate. They can pack together enough astral matter almost to be felt by couples so engaged. But they themselves cannot perform this act …
“My life has no quality”
I hear this so frequently in the clair stories. Could this be a purgatory scene floating by … the choice of someone to avoid joy in the moment?
“You have no personality”
I hear this too. Is this a hellworld scene in which we feel we are judged for seeking enlightenment, for rising above personality to the plane of the Divine?
“You are one big ego”
Is this a hellworld scene in which we hear, over and over again, someone else’s demand that we kowtow to them? Someone else’s demand that we may not live our truth, with high self-esteem and a feeling of self-worth, as this may be judged egoic by others?
The astral stories about people stealing other people’s keys and walking into their houses, or hacking people’s credit cards and ripping off their money, or taking their lives and their money
The astral stories about people stealing other people’s keys and walking into their houses, or hacking people’s credit cards and ripping off their money, or taking their lives and their money, also bear remarkable parallels to hellworld scenes. As do the astral stories about how we will be shunned if we speak our mind, or our website will be shut down, and so on.
For there is no United States Constitution in the hellworlds. No private property. And no freedom of speech. Astral bodies flit hither and thither, without regard to any property lines. We might find 10 astral bodies of complete strangers in our meditation room or our church at any time. There is, in fact, no geography at all on the astral plane. A simple thought takes us wherever we want to be.
Hidden microphones and cameras: Total lack of privacy
The same goes for privacy of speech … if we want to hear what someone else is saying, all we have to do is place that intention. So there is no privacy of speech on the astral plane. There are no secrets. Disclosure is perfect … all our most private ‘stuff’ is now placed before the public view.
FORGIVENESS IS THE KEY TO THE EXIT DOOR FROM THE HELLWORLDS
But the question is, what will become of it … will we stand with Christ and forgive everyone on Earth of every secret they may have? Or will we condemn them and punish them, bind ourselves up in karma with them, and so delay the clearing of their hellworld scenes, as well as our own? The choice is ours.
In love, light and joy

REPEATING ASTRAL PHRASES AS A FEATURE OF OUR COMMENSAL ORGANISMS
I later came across an understanding that some of the above phrases attach to life cycle activities of or cultural difference among our commensal organisms.
For instance, It seems the repeating phrase “My life has no quality” has to do with lowered blood sugar; it may be a lament of the yeast cells that inhabit the human body.
The repeating phrase “You have no personality” is apparently a comment of the Martian bacterial colonists of the human colon; it may have to do with prejudice against the yeasts, which are quite a bit more simplistic in their language and thought forms than are the Martians.
The repeating phrase “You are one big ego” is apparently a comment of the Martian bacterial colonists of the human colon; it may have to do with Higher Mental Body functions, as our Martians have a greater influence on the Lower Mental Body, where they live, than on the Higher Mental Body.
Astral stories about people stealing other people’s keys and walking into their houses, or hacking people’s credit cards and ripping off their money, or taking their lives and their money may have to do with our body cells and the Martian bacterial colonists of the human colon recoiling in horror at the attacks of viruses.
Hidden microphones and cameras: Total lack of privacy: This may have to do adjustment by our Martian bacterial colonists of the colon to the awakening of human telepathy globally. The Elder Race, the Martians, are far more telepathic than we, and in fact it was through their expertise in DNA manipulation that most of Earth species came into being. More about this in my blog category: Mars – Martians – the Elder Race

THE NINTH AMENDMENT TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION
THE EIGHTEENTH AMENDMENT TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION
PARALLELS BETWEEN VIOLENCE AROUND PROHIBITION OF ALCOHOL AND TODAY’S DRUG WAR VIOLENCE
WHAT GOOD THINGS MIGHT HAPPEN IF RECREATIONAL DRUGS WERE FOUND TO BE CONSTITUTIONALLY LEGAL?
Dear Ones,
This is an odd post, being as how I never use hard drugs of any sort, and generally forgo even the occasional beer as being too caloric. However, I have read about all the unfortunate ramifications of drug use in the United States, and have been thinking over ways to make things better for our communities …
I was refreshing my memory of the Amendments to the United States Constitution today, and came across some thought-provoking information ..
THE NINTH AMENDMENT TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION
Per Wikipedia, the 9th Amendment protects rights that are not set forth in the Constitution …
THE EIGHTEENTH AMENDMENT TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION
And then, via the same source, I read that the 18th Amendment made it illegal to manufacture or sell alcohol in the United States. This amendment was repealed on 5 December 1933. As I recall, this was after a lot of violence around bootlegging and illegal hooch parlors.
PARALLELS BETWEEN VIOLENCE AROUND PROHIBITION OF ALCOHOL AND TODAY’S DRUG WAR VIOLENCE
So I got to thinking about the parallels between the prohibition of alcohol, way back when, and the current drug war in America. The similarities are intriguing.
WHAT GOOD THINGS MIGHT HAPPEN IF RECREATIONAL DRUGS WERE FOUND TO BE CONSTITUTIONALLY LEGAL?
What if the 9th Amendment were applied to the 18th Amendment, and recreational drugs were found to be legal …
Maybe the money and manpower currently being spent on the war against drugs could then be applied to the moral, ethical, and spiritual upliftment of our children.
To their education in the arts, music, and languages, for instance.
What if the law enforcement officers now embroiled in, and physically imperiled by, the drug war, were retrained and repositioned as part of this educational effort?
Dear Ones, God bless you all!
In love, light and joy

VIDEO BY ALICE
SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.
I thought I would talk just for a moment today about religious freedom and religious tolerance in the world today. And I would like to compare two different examples of that …
Astral Story about a United States ‘Weapon of War’ to Destroy People of Islamic Faith
One is complete fantasy: It was an astral story that I heard the other day … actually, a very terrifying astral story. But fortunately, because of my timeline shifting skills, I was able to get out of it pretty quickly, without pondering it too deeply. Nevertheless, in retrospect, I think it had a good lesson for me.
The astral story went like this: There was a thought that there was a type of weapon of war that the United States could employ, in the fight against the people of Islamic faith that have that point of view of doing just about anything to uphold their religion … and who are willing to resort to violence in order to do so.
On Islam and Faith in the One God. First I would like to say that my understanding of the Islamic faith is that those people are very much in the minority of all the people, worldwide, who have that faith.
And second, I would like to say that I went, two times, in Los Angeles to a place that was explaining the Islamic faith. There they had people who were Islamic, and other people, like me, who were just learning about the Islamic faith. And there they taught a saying, or prayer, that many Muslims, people of Islamic faith, say all day long, every day … all of their waking hours.
And the prayer went like this: La illah el Allah … traditional meaning: There is no god but Allah.You may have heard of it. It is pretty famous. The feeling that I got from it … although it might not be quite literal, is like this:Allah, of course, is their name for God. And the feeling that I got from the saying is that Allah, or God, is all that is. So another translation of the prayer might be: There is no god but God … meaning that all the ‘gods’ of this world are laid low by their love of the one God who created and sustains all that is.
And they would feel that prayer, and say it with their hearts all day long. And I got to thinking: Wow! What an incredible spiritual practice, for people to remember God every day, all day! Do you not think?
On Christianity, and Walking with Christ. Now we of Christian faith, we might have our own way of doing it. We might call it walking with Christ … imagining that Christ is with us, in His great compassion, walking by our side all day long. And that is our way of doing it.
America Was Founded on the Principle of Freedom from Religious Freedom. We here in America … This country was founded by spiritual, religious refugees who were not able to practice their own faith in their own land. And they came to America, despite the great peril of the journey across the ocean, and the hardships that would face them … in many cases, death; death both of the grownups and of the children … many perils that would face them in their new life in America because, with their deepest hearts, they wished for spiritual freedom.
So this is the cornerstone; this is the purpose of America in the world: To represent freedom of thought, freedom of expression, freedom of religion. The greatest liberty that a person can have, and still be in accord with the needs of the community around him, without hurting anyone else … the most liberty that he or she can have. So there is that.
Timeline Shift to Escape from the Astral Story of the ‘Weapon of War’. Now back to the astral story, a horrible astral story! And it went like this: There was a weapon of war that had been designed, in the fight against the Islamic extremists, that would target anyone who worshiped God in that way, and destroy them … that would home in on the mini-noospheric thought wave of that person who was repeating in his heart: La illah el Allah … La illah el Allah … and destroy him.
This was the thought: That we would destroy someone because of their religious belief. And immediately I said: I am getting out of this astral story! … And I optimized my timelines, and I got out. You know? … Because that is not for me. Liberty and justice for all: That is for me.
That notion is a kind of a fear-based notion, that people of other religions might represent a threat to us, you know? … That any religion might be anti-American. To think of that! Just to think of that!
To my way of thinking, all religions are welcome in America. People of all creeds, all faiths; people of all races are free in America. You know? That is how I see America.
Legends of the Sikhs of India
Sikh Faith Compared to Islamic and Hindu Faiths. Now I am going to take a story from about 500 years ago, I think it was, from ancient India … well, not too ancient; not modern, though. At that time, there were a group of people called the Sikhs. Sikhism was a very unusual religion, because it had some qualities of the Islamic faith, which believed in only one God, Allah. And it had some qualities of the Hindu faith, which was also very prevalent in India at that time.
The Hindus, in contrast, worshipped God in many different aspects. Hinduism is considered, in these modern days, as being a polytheistic religion … having many gods.
So the Sikhs came along. The Sikhs believed in one God. And they also offered, in their morning prayer, the “Japji Sahib,” a variant of that belief that was in line with the Hindu teachings. And the feeling was … as I understand it … that there were those people who related more to the polytheistic notion of God; and there were other people who understood and were in Soul resonance with the monotheistic notion. Somehow or other they combine both notions.
SIkhs: Respect for Women. The Sikhs, the highest point in their history, I felt, had to do with their support of respect for women, which was unheard of in that time. There was a wonderful prayer that was in the Sikh prayer books about why we should respect women. I loved it …
To paraphrase, that passage conveys this meaning: Where would men be, without women? How might they be born, except through the labor pangs of a mother?
How might they be married, except to a woman? Who might be their lifelong friend, except their wife? And without her, how might the future generations of humankind be born?
Should a man’s wife pass on, will he not seek another wife? To this wife, shall he not be bound, as it was with the first wife, that he loved?
Why, then, would any man call a woman bad? Even a king is born of woman. Every woman is born of a woman. There would be no one on Earth, were it not for woman … no one at all.
Nanak, the great wise teacher of the Sikhs, declares: It is only God who has no need of a woman. Let us praise the blessed and beautiful True Lord, who lights up our faces in his Great Court. –“Siri Guru Granth Sahib,” page 478
Sikhs: Protecting People of Other Faiths. In addition to this respect for women, they also believed in protecting people of other faiths, and standing up against and fighting against injustice anywhere in the world. There were very brave, courageous men in that group.
There came a time when the Muslims … I think it was the Muslims of the Mughal Empire … took over India. Now I am not speaking against the Muslims here; I am just giving an example … The Muslims required that all the Hindus be converted to the Islamic faith at that time. They would capture Hindus, as I recall, and if they would not convert, they would feed them to the Emperor’s dogs, or execute them in other awful ways.
Now this story is not really about Hindus and Muslims. It is about freedom to worship as we will. And the Sikhs saw it in that manner. Though they were very few in number, they aligned themselves with the Mind and Heart and Will of God … the one God that they believed in … and they fought, one against 1,000, or 10,000, in protest against the Emperor’s very cruel policy. And so they were all wiped out … They were wiped out for the concept of religious freedom.
On Upholding the Principle of Religious Tolerance
I would just like you to take a look at those two examples of a way to live a life … you know? Do we live in fear of other people who are different from us? Do we threaten to destroy people, just because they are different? Or are we accepting of differences … or even willing to defend, with our last breath, the liberty of each person to worship as they will?
Many religious wars have been fought, down through history. So I am not against the Muslims because of the things that happened in the time of the Mughal Empire.
The one story, above, was in favor of the Muslim faith being able to worship as it will; the other story was in favor of the Hindu faith being able to worship as it will. And I might add, in these days of atheism, the importance of allowing people of the Christian faith, in the United States, to express themselves as Christians in the world today.
God bless and keep you all. Love you lots! …
On Separating the Concept of Violence from That of Discrimination Against Religions
Wouldn’t you know it, I have a postscript. And this has to do with violence and religion. I think we need to separate the issues of violence and religion. To my way of thinking, violence expressed through religion is not religion … but rather, like a dark strand of energy that is sometimes mixed up with religious belief.
You know, the Christian faith went to the Crusades with a strand like that, long ago … a strand of Darkness that included violence and war. And I think probably every religion has dealt with this issue of violence within it.
But all religions tend towards the Light. The purpose of religions is to tend towards the love and Light that are the Universe, and that God expresses through the Universe.
So this issue of violence, I think is a separate thing. People are entitled to believe what they wish. But violence is a crime against the world community. That is how I feel. So in our own minds, when we say: This terrorist activity must stop … we are not speaking to religion. We are speaking to terrorism. You know what I mean?
You are welcome to disagree with me. Food for thought! Love you all.
In love, light and joy

THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” — “Constitution of the United States,” public domain (1)
THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF SIKHISM
Here are the basic principles of the Sikh religion:
securing justice for humankind, whether social, political, economic, or religious
safeguarding the fundamental rights of humankind
protecting the saints; uprooting the wicked
guaranteeing dignity and equality for all humankind
maintaining peaceful co-existence among all religions
Their principles caused the Sikhs to fight against the Mughal Regime in India, as it was violating human rights and causing massacre of the innocents. The upshoot was the establishment of a sovereign, independent Sikh State.
The Sikhs had come into contact with these Afghan and Mughal invaders as the invaders passed through the Punjab … the Sikh homeland … on their way to invade Delhi, India. The Sikhs were greatly outnumbered, but their spirits were aligned with God’s plan for Earth. Their noble cause was based on social and moral responsibility toward humankind. And so, they were willing to lay down their lives for their God. The resultant struggle and victory is an uplifting example for all the world. –adapted from “American Punjabi News,” chapter 7 [link no longer online]
