INTRODUCTION

Dear Ones,

The allure … and the equal sense of alarm … engendered on viewing the ‘slack face’ of another person is, for me, indisputable …

Video: “Stromae – Mauvaise journée,” by Zas Dance Platform, 16 January 2025 … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNz9z5gDTjU ..

Here are the English language lyrics (if you dare) …

Video: “Stromae – Mauvaise journée English translation,” by FrenchVibes, 23 July 2023 … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t06g1NIc7fM ..

THE STORY

The above is quite an intriguing video. Incredible dancing, hard-hitting graphically grabbing lyrics, attitude 180 degrees opposite of the love, Light and joy. Hummm.

There is a post I wrote 8 years ago entitled “How Do Predators Hypnotize Their Prey” …

Link: “How Do Predators Hypnotize Their Prey?” by Alice B. Clagett, begun on 31 May 2018; published on 26 June 2018; revised on 25 February 2025 … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-9sy ..

In retrospect, the interesting thing is that reptilian predators … such as lizards, snakes, crocodiles, alligators, and dinosaurs … have what mammals such as I characterize as the ‘slack face’.

That might account for the sense of alarm I feel when viewing the video. Those seem to me to be alarming young dancers. Who knows what their true feelings are! Maybe their intentions are quite dangerous to me … as may be the case with the Komodo dragon.

Komodo dragons are apex reptilian predators that stalk and eat people and other large animals, don’t they? Maybe these dancers are like Komodo dragons?

Hence the general sense of alarm. But why are slack faces alluring?

I saw someone like this at King Gillette Ranch in the Santa Monica Mountains awhile ago. He was driving an all-terrain vehicle with fine-looking, physically quite capable young men in it … forest workers, perhaps. I got a cookie cutter feeling from them … all of them were quite similar in looks. Then there was the quite handsome, ‘slack face’ driver, who was a little older. Huh.

Some years earlier, while driving north through Chastworth on Topanga Canyon Road, I had seen this same person … same handsome features, same ‘slack face’. Likely he was emerging from a private gymn in the shopping strip there.

I recall I got the same gut-wrenching sense of alarm coupled with allure. It was as if I were being hypnotized …. Wait a moment; was I being hypnotized?

Could it be that the ‘slack face’ is like a blank slate upon which our ever active egos can paint an image of themselves in a far more alluring body? Do we feel instant empathy for people with ‘slack faces’ simply because there appears to be no personality there that competes with our own? Could that be true?

In that case, a ‘slack face’ would be quite a cagey strategy for an antisocial personality or a narcissist or a con artist to undertake. Their intention might be murder or mayhem. They might be well practices in murder and mayhem.

First and foremost, they need to conceal their true intentions with a ‘slack face’. They might anticipate our ego will make the leap to claim their body as its own. And their well-concealed ego might then leap to the kill or the clutch.

I thought I would ask Google AI about the ‘slack face’ and my feelings of alarm and allurement.

WHY DO I GET AN EQUAL SENSE OF PERIL AND ALLUREMENT WHEN I SEE A MAN WITH A SLACK FACE? 

First off, Google AI scotched my notion that antisocial personalities or con artists might consciously cultive the ‘slack look’. Here is what Google AI said …

Do Antisocial Personalities Have ‘Slack Face’? “No, there’s no consistent evidence that people with Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) have ‘slack faces’, but research shows they often have reduced or atypical facial emotional expressions, like less sadness or fear, and can struggle with recognizing emotions, sometimes appearing indifferent or using charm to manipulate rather than expressing genuine feelings, making their faces seem less responsive or even blank in certain situations, rather than necessarily ‘slack’.” –Google AI

Do Con Artists Have ‘Slack Face’? “No, con artists do not typically have ‘slack faces’. Professional con artists go to great lengths to manage their appearance and behavior to gain trust, often appearing charming, charismatic, professional, and knowledgeable.

They work hard to come across as trustworthy individuals, often blending into social, community, or religious groups to seem familiar. Their goal is to manipulate victims’ emotions and cloud their judgment, which requires a deliberate and often dynamic presentation, not a blank or ‘slack’ expression.” –Google AI

The Big Picture. So there was that. I thought I had best let preconceptions go, and instead I take a look at the ‘big picture’. Google AI had other things to say, including the stoic appeal of the John Wayne look … I asked Google AI: Why do I get an equal sense of peril and allurement when I see a man with a slack face?

Google AI said: “A slack face, characterized by relaxed muscles and a neutral, expressionless appearance, can evoke a complex mix of feelings including both peril and allurement due to evolutionary and psychological factors.

Peril

The sense of peril can stem from several factors:

  • Unpredictability A neutral or slack face provides little emotional information, making the person’s intentions difficult to read. The lack of an decipherable expression can be interpreted as a sign of something hidden or unpredictable, which the human brain often associates with potential danger  …
  • Deviation from Norm Most social interactions involve a constant exchange of subtle facial cues. A complete lack of expression deviates from this norm, creating a sense of unease or uncanniness because the expected social script is absent  …
  • Association with Stoicism A slack, emotionless face can be associated with intense self-control or a guarded personality, sometimes linked in popular culture or personal experience with individuals who might be intimidating, untrustworthy, or emotionally unavailable  …

Allurement

The sense of allurement can also arise from these characteristics:

  • Mystery and Intrigue The same lack of expression that creates unease can also foster a sense of mystery. The unknown nature of the person’s thoughts and feelings can be alluring, prompting curiosity and a desire to discover what lies beneath the surface  …
  • Calm and Self-Possession A consistently emotionless face might also be interpreted as a sign of extreme calm, confidence, and self-possession. In a world full of overt emotional displays, this stoicism can be seen as powerful and attractive  …
  • Blank Canvas Effect A slack face serves as a ‘blank canvas’, allowing the observer to project their own desires or interpretations onto the person. This ambiguity can be more engaging than a face with a clear, defined emotion …

Ultimately, these reactions are subjective and depend on an individual’s personal experiences, cultural background, and current context.”

I Dove Deaper, and Google AI had some quite intriguing things to say: “The sensation of combined peril and allurement when viewing a ‘slack face’ (a lack of emotional expression often called flat affect) typically stems from a psychological disconnect between what you see and what your brain expects to find. 

Why It Feels Like Peril (Danger)

  • Uncanny Valley Effect: Humans are highly sensitive to facial movements that appear ‘not quite right’. A face that should be expressing emotion but remains slack can trigger a subconscious sense of eeriness or revulsion because it mimics ‘non-living’ or unnatural qualities.
  • Loss of Social Predictability: Facial expressions are essential for social communication. When a person’s face is slack, you cannot ‘read’ their intentions or emotions. This lack of feedback is unsettling because the brain prioritizes detecting threats; an unreadable face is a potential hidden threat.
  • Association with Instability: In clinical psychology, flat affect is often a symptom of serious conditions like schizophrenia or PTSD [post-traumatic stress disorder]. While the individual may not be dangerous, the [observer’s] brain’s ‘danger alarm’ (the amygdala) may react to the lack of social cohesion as a signal of unpredictability.

Why It Feels Like Allurement (Attraction)

  • The Limerent Object: Intense fixation on another person, known as limerence, can make even ambiguous or ‘slack’ expressions seem magnetic. The lack of a clear message can act as a ‘blank canvas’, allowing you to project your own desires or interpretations onto their face.
  • The ‘Vulnerable’ Allure: Some research suggests that certain non-threatening or passive facial states can elicit a ‘behavioral approach’ or prosocial response. A slack face might be subconsciously interpreted as a sign of vulnerability or a need for help, which can be mistakenly felt as attraction or a desire to connect.
  • Intrigue of the Unknown: An expressionless face creates a mystery. This ‘emotional blindness’ (alexithymia) or flat affect may draw you in because you are trying to solve the ‘inverse problem’ of what they are actually feeling inside.

Medical Context for a Slack Face

If you observe a sudden or persistent slackness in a face, it may be due to:

  • Neurological Issues: Conditions like Bell’s palsy, stroke, or Parkinson’s disease can cause facial drooping or ‘masked face’.
  • Mental Health: Flat affect is a common ‘negative’ symptom in schizophrenia or a result of deep depression or autism.
  • Medication: Certain psychiatric medications can cause a blunting of emotional expression as a side effect.”

. . . . . . . . . .

Alice’s Analysis

Uncanny Valley Effect. Here is more on the Uncanny Valley Effect: “The uncanny valley effect is a hypothesized psychological and aesthetic relation between an object’s degree of resemblance to a human being and the emotional response to the object. The uncanny valley hypothesis predicts that an entity appearing almost human will elicit uncanny or eerie feelings in viewers.” –from Link: “Uncanny valley,” in English Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley#:~:text=The%20uncanny%20valley%20effect%20is,or%20eerie%20feelings%20in%20viewers. … CC BY-SA 4.0 License

I had already read about ‘flat emotional affect’ (which is another name for ‘slack face’) being a heads up for psychosis. So there is that.

. . . . .

Limerence. I particularly liked the discussion about ‘Limerence‘. I checked with Wikipedia; apparently Limerance is like a childhood crush … intense infatuation with someone …

“Limerence is the mental state of being madly in love … or intensely infatuated … when reciprocation of the feeling is uncertain. This state is characterized by intrusive thoughts and idealization of the loved one (also called ‘crystallization’), typically with a desire for reciprocation to form a relationship. This is accompanied by feelings of ecstasy or despair, depending on whether one’s feelings seem to be reciprocated or not ….” –from Link: “Limerence,” in English Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limerence … CC BY-SA 4.0 License

. . . . .

The Vulnerable Allure. “The ‘Vulnerable Allure’ refers to the powerful attraction and connection created when individuals reveal their authentic, imperfect selves, showcasing emotions, fears, and flaws, which fosters intimacy, trust, likability, and deeper human connection, despite societal pressures to appear strong or invulnerable, often explored in psychology, relationships, and even marketing. It’s the surprising strength found in openness, moving beyond perceived weakness to invite empathy and genuine belonging.” –Google AI

There is big trouble here for empaths such as me. We are open-hearted and vulnerable. We seek friends who are like us. We may mistake the ‘slack face’ for emotional openness. Big faux pas!

………………..
Sidebar: Why Might Slack Face Be Mistaken for Emotional Openness?

I asked Google AI: Why might slack face be mistaken for emotional openness?

Google AI said: “‘Slack face’, or a neutral facial expression, might be mistaken for emotional openness because of several factors related to how humans interpret social cues and the inherent ambiguity of facial expressions.

Misinterpretation Factors

  • Projection of Desired Emotions: When a face is relatively expressionless, observers may project their own interpretations or desired emotions onto it. A ‘slack’ or neutral face serves as a blank canvas, which a person hoping for emotional openness might interpret as an inviting, receptive demeanor.
  • Cultural Context: The interpretation of facial expressions is not universally uniform and is heavily influenced by cultural context. In some contexts, a neutral expression might be perceived as a sign of calm, trustworthiness, or being ‘open’ to a conversation, rather than a lack of emotion.
  • Contrast with Stronger Emotions: Compared to expressions like anger, fear, or sadness, a neutral face is low-intensity. This absence of intense, clearly defined emotional signals may be perceived as a non-threatening, accessible state, which can be misconstrued as openness.
  • Expectation Bias: If an observer expects someone to be emotionally open (due to the situation or a prior belief), they may interpret ambiguous cues, like a slack face, in a way that confirms their expectation.
  • Focus on Other Cues: When the face provides minimal information, observers may rely on other cues, such as body language, eye contact, or tone of voice. If these other cues align with ‘openness,’,the neutral face is likely to be interpreted accordingly.
  • Ambiguity of Neutrality: Research indicates that facial expressions can be highly ambiguous, and even basic emotions can be misclassified, such as fear and surprise being confused. A neutral face is the most ambiguous, making it susceptible to varied, and sometimes incorrect, interpretations.

Ultimately, facial expressions alone are not a reliable way to gauge a person’s precise emotional state, and context matters a great deal in accurate interpretation.”

. . . . .

Crystallization (love). I also checked on the word ‘crystallization’ as mentioned in the unusual context above. Wikipedia had this to say …

“Crystallization is a concept, developed in 1822 by the French writer Stendhal, which describes the process, or mental metamorphosis, in which the characteristics of a new love are transformed into perceptual diamonds of shimmering beauty. According to a quotation by Stendhal:‘What I call ‘crystallization’ is the operation of the mind that draws from all that presents itself the discovery that the loved object has some new perfections;’ ….” –from Link: “Crystallization (love),: in English Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallization_(love) … CC BY-SA 4.0 License

. . . . . . . . . .

OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER (OCD), POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD), AND OCCASIONAL VIOLENCE

This word Crystallization reminds me of Monk’s fixation on his wife Trudy in the movie series “Monk.” As you may know, Trudy had disappeared … or putatively so … or had Monk murdered his wife? I ask that because Monk had obsessive compulsive disorder … a psychological state that I, as a Christian, associate with ‘on again, off again’ demonic possession.

Ian Freckleton of NIH associates obsessive compulsive disorder (sometimes in association with PTSD) with various crimes. Might murder be one of these? For more on this search the term ‘crime’ at this link …

Link: “Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder and the Criminal Law,” by Ian Freckelton, QC, in National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), National Library of Medicine, NIH … https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8009125/ ..

See also my discussion of the above-referenced article here …

Link: “Are There Obsessive Compulsive People Who Are Walking Time Bombs?” by Alice B. Clagett, written and published on 9 December 2022; revised on 12 December 2022, on 3 June 2023, on 31 July 2023, on 17 October 2023, and on 25 December 2025 … https://awakeningwithplanetearth.com/is-obsessive-compulsive-disorder-related-to-multiple-personality-and-satanic-possession-by-alice-b-clagett/ ..

I have to wonder if OCD – PTSD folks sometimes errupt in acts of violence, such as murder of their wives, whom they need to remember as perfection itself through a process termed ‘Crystallization’?

Could ‘Crystallization’ by an OCD person be the notion behind obsessively careful ordering of what is in their visual array? Ought I say ‘visual array’ or simply ‘physical environment’, I wonder.

Striving for regularity or simplicity, or for repetitive similar thought processes, or mentally building on an buyoing idea … such as Trudy’s perfection … might be ways of re-inventing one’s world after a shattering PTSD experience.

(That reminds me a little of repetitive spiritual chanting as a way of acchieving neutral mind and peaceful feelings.)

If so, then the infrequent lapses of OCD people into violent criminal ‘acting out’ … or what I as a Christian term ‘demonic possession’ might be temporary breakdowns of the internal OCD chant, and memories of PTSD experiences?

And the repetitive rituals and what I posit may be Crystallization of OCD people might be self-healing techniques?

Do OCD Have ‘Slack Face’?

Out of curiosity, I asked Google AI: Do OCD have ‘slack face’?

Google AI said: “While OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) doesn’t cause a universally “’lack face’, research suggests subtle facial differences, like thinner lower lips in males or smaller nasolabial angles in females, and impaired emotional expression (affective flattening), can occur, stemming from brain structure variations and the constant emotional distress of obsessions, leading to reduced facial movement and seemingly ‘flatter’ affect. 

Subtle Facial Differences (Research Findings)

  • Males: Studies have found lower lip red height (thinner lower lip) in male OCD patients compared to controls, correlating with neutralizing compulsions.
  • Females: Female OCD patients sometimes show smaller nasolabial angles (less pronounced smile lines/mouth area).
  • Brain Structure: Thinner inferior parietal cortex, involved in interpreting sensations, has been noted in people with OCD, potentially impacting emotional expression. 

Impact on Emotional Expression

  • Affective Flattening: Patients with OCD often show incongruent facial expressions, meaning their feelings don’t match their face, leading to a less animated or ‘flatter’ appearance, similar to symptoms seen in schizophrenia.
  • Anxiety & Compulsions: The intense anxiety from obsessions and the mental effort of compulsions can reduce spontaneous facial movements, making expressions seem muted or ‘slack’.

Why it’s Not a Universal Symptom

  • OCD Varies: Symptoms differ greatly between individuals; not everyone experiences these subtle physical or emotional expression changes.
  • High-Functioning OCD: People with high-functioning OCD might hide their internal struggles well, though they still experience the intrusive thoughts and compulsions. 

In essence, while not a defining feature like handwashing, facial expressions in OCD can be subtly affected by brain changes, emotional suppression, and the constant mental effort, sometimes resulting in a less expressive or ‘slack’ appearance.”

Do PTSD Have ‘Slack Face’?

Google AI’s answer seems to me not to be a straight fit for OCD with regard to ‘slack face’. So I asked Google AI: Do PTSD have ‘slack face’?

Google AI votes yes for flat emotional affect, and no for ‘slack face’, which they define as facial paralysis.

Once again, I got that I had best segue to the ‘big picture’ …

WHAT SORTS OF PEOPLE HAVE FLAT EMOTIONAL AFFECT? (substituting this term for ‘slack face’)

There is a conflict of my terminology with that of Google AI. so I opted for the term ‘flat emotional affect’. I asked Google AI: What sorts of people have flat emotional affect? (substituting this term for ‘slack face’) …

Google AI said: “People with flat affect show little to no emotional expression, common in conditions like schizophrenia, depression, PTSD, Autism (ASD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and sometimes due to medications (like antidepressants), or neurological issues (Parkinson’s). It’s a symptom, not a disorder, meaning they may feel emotions internally but can’t express them outwardly through voice or face.

Associated Conditions & Causes:

  • Schizophrenia: A core ‘negative’ symptom, involving monotone voice, blank face, lack of gestures.
  • Depression: Can cause emotional numbness (anhedonia) or stoicism despite internal feelings.
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): May present as robotic mannerisms or reduced facial/body expression, sometimes linked to masking.
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Emotional numbing and detachment can lead to flat affect.
  • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Damage to emotional centers can alter expression.
  • Neurological Disorders: Parkinson’s disease and dementia are linked.
  • Medications: Antidepressants are a common cause of emotional blunting (inability to feel) or flat affect (inability to show).
  • Schizoid Personality Disorder: Characterized by emotional coldness and detachment.”

Key Characteristics:

  • Monotone voice.
  • Blank facial expressions, limited eye contact.
  • Lack of typical reactions (e.g., to joy or sadness).
  • Reduced gestures or nonverbal cues. 

Treating the underlying condition is key to managing flat affect.”

CONCLUSION

Well, Ok. What I call ‘slack face’ Google AI calls ‘flat emotional affect’, which it associates with schizophrenia, depression, autism, PTSD, and Schizoid personality disorder, amongst other things.

People with these issues may or may not act unexpectably, so a feeling of danger may or may not be warranted.

So then, despite the conflicting feeling of allurement that flat emotional affect may engender in the observer, my advice to my Readers is this ..

Be observant. Be careful. Expect the unexpected. Dont go ‘Limerent’! Don’t Crystallize! Don’t cozy up … move farther away, just in case.

In other words, don’t be hypnotized by what may be an Apex Predator. Survival matters! Survival first!

Well, that’s all for now.

In love, light and joy

New word … Anhedonia … aka ‘the blahs’ … “Anhedonia is the inability to feel pleasure or interest in activities once enjoyed, manifesting as numbness, apathy, or emptiness, and is a core symptom of depression, schizophrenia, and substance use disorders, though it also appears with Parkinson’s or PTSD. It involves deficits in both wanting (motivation) and liking (enjoyment) rewards, often linked to dopamine system issues, and requires professional diagnosis to treat the underlying cause with therapy, lifestyle changes, or specific medications.” –Google AI

VIDEO ABOUT A MOUNTAIN LION STALKING A HIKER IN UTAH

Dear Ones,

I came across a great video about a Mountain Lion (aka Cougar or Puma) stalking a male hiker in Utah. I have these thoughts on that …

The thing is the hiker sounds a little frightened. Of course, there is reason to be scared in a situation like this, but nevertheless it is very important to FEEL courageous and threatening, and to project these feelings towards the Mountain Lion. You know what I mean?

So first the feeling of confidence and courage – complete self-assurance. And second, this is a Mountain Lion that is used to preying on people. Don’t you sense it? This Mountain Lion is confident that people are tasty, and that it can accomplish this kill.

Try projecting a forceful mental image at the Mountain Lion with detail about you killing it (the opposite of the image it has in its mind about you). This is a psychological ploy that will give you time to get the pepper spray (aka Mace) out of your backpack.

Last, be sure to keep the pepper spray in the unzipped outside pocket of your backpack. Put it, head up, in the backpack pocket most easily accessible to your dominant hand (the one you would use to spray the Mountain Lion).

Here is the video …

Video: “Viral video shows cougar stalking Utah hiker in terrifying 6-minute encounter – FULL VIDEO | ABC7,” by ABC7, 12 October 2020 … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ktRhBcHza4 ..

NOTE: There is a partial transcript of what the Mother Cougar said on the above- cited video here …

HOW CAN WE CHANGE OUR EMOTIONS FROM NEGATIVE TO POSITIVE … OR FROM FEAR TO COURAGE … AT WILL?

You may be wondering how we can just change emotions, just like that. If we feel scared, how can we change our emotions to courage and self-confidence?

You know, the other Lightworkers and I are always talking about this.

I say, for instance, that a Lightworker must cultivate feelings of love, Light and joy. I say that in every post.

Other Lightworkers specialize in feelings of gratitude, or peaceful feelings, or other positive emotions.

This world is full of mischief. Yet we Lightworkers cultivate positive feelings. We do this all day long. For instance, something bad happens. We turn our minds to appreciation of some good thing that is happening in this very moment.

For instance, someone in a shop is having an argument with another person. That’s not so good. But rather than let this put a dent in our day, we might think: What a beautiful bright day this is. The Sun is shining. I have my Ascension Team all around me, protecting me. I have enough money to go into the shop and buy something i need to buy. There are lots of great people in here to see and interact with. Thank God for all these many wonderful things!

You see? We are confronted by one bad thing, but then we think about all the good things that we can be grateful for in this moment, right now. Then our mood changes from negative to positive.

As to courage, martial arts helped me to get from frightened to courageous. They might help you too, if you are so inclined. It is the same principle as the principle of feeling gratitude, except that one concentrate on changing fright to courage.

For instance, we change our stance … the way we are standing. We stand firmly on both feet. We shift our weight so that we feel balanced. We change our energy, which has just fled backwards behind us, and which is trying to hide from our adversary, to an energy that is centered in our tan den … the point of balance within the body. The tan den is the center of gravity an inch or so below the abdomen.

So we place our Awareness in the tan den. Immediately the Mountain Lion senses it has something to contend with. This is not the fleeing hiker. This is a stalwart adversary.

When that happens … when the Mountain Lion realizes this … its own energy moves backwards. You may see it in the Mountain Lion’s stance too. It may suddenly shift its weight backwards.

So the tables have been turned. You are in the ascendancy now. You can then seal the deal with pepper spray, and, as in the movie, the Mountain Lion will likely then run away.

WHAT TO DO WHEN PEOPLE MOB YOU

I get mobbed, generally speaking, a couple of times a week. Why is that?

There are those that say that I am writing about about love and Light and joy … and courage and appreciation … and so on … but that I am really not like that at all.

They say that I am just pretending to be good and kind and sweet and all … but that I am really the opposite.

They spend considerable time trying to frighten me with skits out in the street, or in the wild.  This is what is called ‘mobbing’. It could be people are mobbing you too?

I figured some research on the topic might be a good idea, so I asked Google AI about it. Here is what Google AI said …

WHAT IS MOBBING?

Google AI says: “Mobbing is the act of systematically harassing or bullying a person, most commonly in the workplace, through actions like constant criticism, exclusion, and verbal abuse. The behavior is persistent and can lead to severe psychological and physical distress for the victim. Mobbing can also refer to a collective defensive behavior in the animal kingdom where a group of animals attacks or harasses a predator. 

In the workplace

  • Definition: 

A form of workplace bullying where a group, or an individual with followers, psychologically terrorizes another employee over an extended period. 

  • Behaviors include: 

Constant criticism, public humiliation, slander, isolation, or giving false information. 

  • Motivation: 

Perpetrators may act out of envy, a need to hide their own incompetence, or personal rivalry. 

  • Impact: 

It can cause significant mental and physical health problems for the victim and can lead to their expulsion from the workplace. 

  • Counteracting mobbing: 

Victims can try documenting incidents, talking to the perpetrators or a manager, and seeking support from colleagues. Organizations can help by establishing clear policies against mobbing and creating a culture of respect. 

In animal behavior

WHY DO PEOPLE MOB OTHER PEOPLE?

I asked Google AI: Why do people ‘mob’ other people?

Google AI said: “People ‘mob’ others due to a combination of factors, including a desire for power, social status, and a sense of belonging, as well as psychological phenomena like mob mentality and a diffusion of responsibility. Individuals may join in to feel part of a group, seek approval, or suppress their own moral compass for the sake of conformity. The behavior can also be driven by prejudice, low self-esteem, and a lack of empathy in individuals, or be encouraged by dark personality traits. 

Psychological factors

  • Mob mentality: The group’s collective behavior can be contagious, causing individuals to act irrationally and lose their sense of personal responsibility, according to this YouTube video and Time Magazine.
  • Diffusion of responsibility: In a group, individuals may feel less accountable for their actions, as the responsibility is spread among the many members, notes this YouTube video.
  • Conformity: A strong desire to fit in and be accepted by the group can lead individuals to conform to the group’s behavior, even if it violates their personal values or goes against their own judgment, according to this WebMD article and this Quora thread.
  • Diffusion of responsibility: In a group setting, individuals may feel less accountable for their actions, as responsibility is diffused among the members, explain this Quora thread and this YouTube video.
  • Diffusion of responsibility: In a group setting, individuals may feel less accountable for their actions, as responsibility is diffused among the members, explain this Quora thread and this YouTube video. 

Social and individual factors

  • Power and dominance: Mobbing can be a way to exert power and control over someone perceived as weaker or different, or to boost one’s social status, note this YouTube video and this Quora thread.
  • Low self-esteem: Some individuals bully to feel better about themselves or to take the focus off their own insecurities, says Healthdirect.
  • Prejudice and biases: Deep-seated prejudices and biases against a person’s race, religion, gender, or other characteristics can fuel negative behavior, as mentioned in this YouTube video and this Quora thread.
  • Lack of empathy: Some people may lack empathy and fail to recognize the harm their actions cause, while others may actively enjoy inflicting pain, notes this Quora thread.”

PERSONALITY OF A BULLY

I saw the word ‘bully’ above. Because I would like to know what I am dealing with when I encounter a bully, I asked Google AI about the personality of a bully.

Google AI said: “A bully’s personality is often characterized by a need for power and control, a lack of empathy, and aggressive tendencies. Bullies may also exhibit insecurity, egocentricity, and a tendency to manipulate or dominate others to feel superior. They often lack remorse for their actions and may resort to tactics like intimidation, coercion, and aggression, which can stem from feeling inadequate themselves. 

Behavioral and emotional traits

  • Aggression and intimidation: 

Bullies often use physical and verbal aggression to assert dominance over others. 

  • Lack of empathy: 

They have difficulty understanding or caring about the feelings of others and may lack guilt for their actions. 

  • Need for power and control: 

Bullying is a way for them to feel powerful, superior, and in control. 

  • Insecurity: 

Many bullies act out because of their own pain or low self-esteem, using bullying to make themselves feel better. 

Cognitive and social traits

  • Egocentricity: 

Bullies may see themselves as superior and need to be the center of attention. 

  • Manipulation: 

They can be charming when it benefits them but will lie, alter facts, or rewrite history to protect their image. 

  • ‘Us vs. them’ mentality: 

Bullies often create a small inner circle and demand compliance, viewing anyone outside of it as a target. 

  • Lack of responsibility: 

They often refuse to take responsibility for their actions and may even claim they were bullied themselves when confronted.“

. . . . .

IS MOBBING COMMONPLACE?

I asked Google AI: What percent of workers, youths, and seniors in the United States are victims of mobbing?

Google AI said: “While specific statistics for “mobbing” are not readily available, general bullying prevalence can be used as a proxy: around 30% of workers experience workplace bullying, 19% of students ages 12–18 report being bullied at school, and about 10% of seniors experience elder abuse.”

Then I asked Google AI:Is mobbing commonplace?

Google AI said: “Yes, mobbing is considered a widespread and commonplace phenomenon, particularly in the workplace and academic settings. It involves a group of individuals ‘ganging up’ on a target with the intent to isolate, humiliate, and force them out. 

Prevalence and Statistics

  • Workplace: Multiple studies and surveys indicate the high prevalence of workplace bullying, which often includes mobbing behavior. The Workplace Bullying Institute (WBI) reported in a 2021 survey that 48.6 million Americans had directly experienced workplace bullying. Research suggests that up to 30% of workers are affected by workplace bullying over time.
  • Education: Mobbing has been identified as a common form of group bullying in schools and universities. Power imbalances and hierarchical structures in academia can create an environment where mobbing thrives.
  • General Consensus: Experts generally agree that workplace bullying is not a marginal phenomenon that can be ignored or trivialized. A survey for the UK’s Trades Union Congress found that 29% of people had been victims of workplace bullying. 

Factors Contributing to Commonplace Mobbing

  • Poor Management: Mobbing is often a symptom of poorly managed environments where a lack of anti-bullying policies or ineffective reporting mechanisms allow the behavior to fester.
  • Organizational Stress: Periods of organizational change, such as leadership changes or cost-cutting, can increase insecurity among staff, leading to a ‘survival ground’ mentality where individuals scapegoat others.
  • Difficulty in Detection: The insidious nature of mobbing, which often involves subtle actions like gaslighting, rumor-spreading, and social exclusion, makes it difficult to detect and address, allowing it to continue for long periods. 

The significant number of people affected globally suggests that mobbing, as a form of severe group bullying, is a common and serious issue in many professional and social environments.” 

. . . . .

HOW TO REACT TO MOBBING

I asked Google AI how to react to mobbing.

Google AI said: “To react to mobbing, document everything, seek support from trusted colleagues or HR, and establish boundaries by speaking up assertively but calmly. If the behavior continues, consider making a formal complaint and, if necessary, explore options like legal action or finding a new job. It is crucial to prioritize your mental and physical health through self-care and support systems. 

Immediate actions

  • Stay calm: Try to separate your emotions from the situation to prevent the mob from having power over you. Take deep breaths to allow your logical brain to take over.
  • Speak up assertively: Firmly and calmly state that the behavior is not okay. You can say things like, ‘I don’t appreciate being spoken to like that’, or ‘Please stop talking to me that way’.
  • Use the ‘buddy system’: If possible, try to stick with friends or allies, as bullies are less likely to target a group.
  • Walk away: If the confrontation escalates, remove yourself from the situation by walking away to avoid further conflict. 

Documentation and reporting

  • Keep a detailed record: Document every incident, including dates, times, locations, people involved, and what happened. Save any relevant emails or messages.
  • Report the behavior:
    • If you have a sympathetic supervisor, talk to them first.
    • If not, go to Human Resources (HR) and report the behavior, providing your documented evidence.
    • If you are a union member, contact your union for support and advice.
    • Use anonymous reporting channels if available.
  • Know your rights: Research your company’s policies and local labor laws regarding mobbing and workplace bullying. 

Long-term strategies

  • Seek psychological support: Consult a counselor or psychologist to help cope with the emotional toll of mobbing.
  • Build alliances: Find and connect with other sympathetic colleagues who may have witnessed the behavior.
  • Consider leaving: If the situation doesn’t improve after taking steps to address it, you may need to start looking for a new job to ensure your well-being.”

So it’s not just you and me, Dear Reader. Mobbing is taking place all around us. It is happening to everyone. So, I am guessing, is gaslighting. Do you know about gaslighting?

WHAT TO DO WHEN PEOPLE GASLIGHT YOU

I found out about gaslighting by viewing the 1944 American film “Gaslight” starring starring Charles Boyer, Ingrid Bergman, Joseph Cotten and Angela Lansbury in her film debut.

Then there is the original 1940 British film Gaslight directed by Thorold Dickinson, with a close to identical plot.

The secret is out! Gaslighting is a well-known confidence game used by con artists worldwide to fleece women.

I figured this warranted some research too. Here is what I found out …

WHAT IS GASLIGHTING?

I asked Google AI: What is Gaslighting?

Google AI said: “Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse where a person manipulates someone into questioning their own sanity, memory, and perception of reality. It is a tactic to gain control and power in a relationship by distorting the victim’s sense of reality and making them doubt themselves. This can lead to confusion, low self-esteem, and increased dependence on the abuser. 

How gaslighting works

  • Denying facts: The gaslighter denies things that happened, even with evidence. 
  • Lying: They tell outright falsehoods to confuse the victim’s sense of reality. 
  • Blame-shifting: They twist situations to make the victim feel responsible for the gaslighter’s own actions or emotions. 
  • Trivializing feelings: They dismiss the victim’s concerns as overreactions or being “too sensitive”. 
  • Isolating the victim: They may try to isolate the victim from friends and family who could offer a different perspective. 
  • Controlling information: They may lie to others or withhold information to maintain control. 

Common gaslighting phrases

  • ‘That never happened’.
  • ‘You’re crazy’,
  • ‘You’re overreacting’, or ‘You’re being too sensitive’.
  • ‘I’m just trying to help’.
  • ‘You’re remembering it wrong’, or ‘You’re so forgetful’.
  • ‘It’s all in your head.’

The impact of gaslighting 

  • Victims may constantly second-guess themselves and feel confused or crazy. 
  • It can erode a person’s self-confidence and make them doubt their own judgment and sanity. 
  • This increased self-doubt can make the victim more dependent on the abuser for their sense of reality. 
  • The gaslighter’s goal is to gain and maintain control, making the victim more likely to stay in the abusive relationship.”

. . . . .

WHY DO PEOPLE GASLIGHT OTHER PEOPLE?

I asked Google AI: Why do people gaslight other people?

Google AI said: 

“People gaslight others to gain control, avoid accountability, or to cope with psychological conditions like narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). By causing their victim to question their own reality, memory, and sanity, the gaslighter can manipulate them and become the sole source of ‘truth’ in the relationship. 

Motivations for gaslighting

  • To gain control: 

Gaslighting is a manipulative tactic to control a relationship by eroding the victim’s self-trust and making them dependent on the abuser. 

  • To avoid accountability: 

Gaslighters use it to shift blame for their own bad behavior, such as infidelity, and avoid taking responsibility. 

  • As a response to psychological conditions: 

People with certain conditions, like NPD, may gaslight to undermine others and enforce their own warped view of reality. 

  • To manipulate the victim: 

By making the victim question their own sanity, memories, or thoughts, the gaslighter can create confusion and make the victim feel emotionally unstable.”

. . . . .

WHAT IS THE PERSONALITY OF A GASLIGHTER?

Because I would like to know what I am dealing with when I encounter a gaslighter, I asked Google AI what is the personality of a gaslighter.

Google AI said: 

“A gaslighter is typically a manipulative individual who uses psychological abuse to gain power and control over others, making victims question their own memory, perception, and sanity. They often exhibit traits associated with personality disorders like Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) or Antisocial Personality Disorder. 

Key Personality Traits and Characteristics

  • Need for Power and Control: The primary driver for a gaslighter is the desire to dominate and control their victim to feel powerful and superior.
  • Lack of Empathy: They show little remorse for the pain they cause and are generally unable or unwilling to relate to others’ feelings genuinely.
  • Frequent Lying and Distortion: Lying is a cornerstone of their behavior. They will consistently deny reality, even when presented with proof, and rewrite past events to their advantage.
  • Avoidance of Responsibility: They rarely admit flaws and will often blame the victim for their own wrongdoings or the gaslighter’s negative behavior.
  • Highly Defensive and Aggressive When Challenged: When called out or criticized, they often escalate the conflict, double down on their false accusations, or use anger and aggression to intimidate their opponent.
  • False Image Projection: They project an idealized, charming image to the outside world to hide their insecurities, making it difficult for others to believe the victim’s claims of abuse.
  • Isolation Tactics: They often try to isolate their victim from friends and family to remove external support systems and increase dependence on them.
  • Emotional Immaturity: They can be emotionally immature, engaging in wishful thinking, and having an “all-or-nothing” view of the world where any disagreement is an attack.
  • Unpredictable Behavior: Their actions can be inconsistent with their words, and they may have sudden mood swings, which keeps the victim off-balance and confused.
  • Using Compassion as a Weapon: When confronted, they may use kind words and declarations of love to smooth over the situation and confuse the victim, making them doubt their perceptions of abuse.”

. . . . .

WHAT IS THE PERSONALITY OF A CON ARTIST?

Since gaslighting is widely used by con artists, I asked Google AI what the personality of a con artist is.

Google AI said: 

“A con artist personality is characterized by a high degree of perceptiveness, manipulative tendencies, and a chameleon-like ability to build trust by exploiting human desires and weaknesses. They are adept at deception and persuasion, often appearing friendly and personally invested in their victims to gain their confidence before exploiting them.

Key personality traits and tactics

  • Perceptive and observant:

Con artists are skilled at reading people, understanding their motivations, and identifying vulnerabilities to exploit.

  • Manipulative:

They use various psychological tactics to trick and bamboozle others, often by creating a sense of urgency or tapping into a person’s wishes and desires.

  • Charming and friendly:

They initially build rapport by appearing trustworthy, friendly, and personally interested in their target. This is often a calculated act to gain the victim’s confidence.

  • Persuasive:

They are masters of persuasion, using what works to gain a sale or a commitment from their victim.

  • Dishonest and deceitful:

They will lie, create false scenarios, and downplay risks to achieve their goals.

  • Exploitative:

Once they have a victim’s trust and money, their behavior changes drastically. They may disappear, stop answering questions, or become evasive.

Common tactics

  • Creating a sense of pressure:

They may create a sense of urgency to pressure a victim into acting quickly before they can think it through, says the Georgia Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division and the State of Michigan.

  • Preying on desires:

They identify what the victim wants (e.g., a big investment return) and create a narrative that plays on that desire, says a University at Buffalo article and Medium article.

  • Downplaying risks:

They often avoid giving details about the downsides or risks associated with their deal.

  • Evasion:

They are often unwilling or unable to answer questions thoroughly, a red flag that should raise suspicion, according to the North American Securities Administrators Association.”

. . . . .

WHAT ARE INFLUENCERS AND CHARACTER ASSASSINATION?

Since influencers and character assassination (to use modern parlance) are closely related to gaslighting, I asked Google Ai ‘what is influencer and character assassination’. I know this is poor English, but it got me the best response.

Google AI said: 

“‘Influencer’ and ‘character assassination’ are two distinct concepts that can intersect, particularly in the context of social media and public life. 

Influencer

An influencer is a person who has the power to influence the opinions or purchasing decisions of others because of their authority, knowledge, position, or relationship with their audience. They typically have a significant following on social media platforms (like Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube) and are often leveraged by brands for marketing and promotional campaigns. The core of an influencer’s identity is their public image and credibility, which they build to connect with their audience. 

Character Assassination

Character assassination is a deliberate and sustained effort to damage the reputation, credibility, or public image of an individual, group, or organization. This is typically done through a mix of open and covert methods to manipulate how others perceive the targeted person. 

Common tactics include:

  • Spreading rumors, innuendos, or deliberate misinformation.
  • Raising false accusations or using misleading half-truths.
  • Manipulating facts or presenting information out of context to create an untrue, negative picture.
  • Exaggerating faults or past mistakes.
  • Name-calling and applying stigmatizing or demonizing labels. 

The goal of character assassination is often to undermine the victim’s standing, influence, or career, and the damage can be long-lasting and difficult to reverse. It is a form of an ad hominem attack, shifting focus from a person’s arguments or actions to their personal attributes in an attempt to discredit them.

The Intersection

The two concepts intersect in the modern digital landscape:

  • Vulnerability of Influencers: Because an influencer’s success is tied directly to their public image and reputation, they are particularly vulnerable to character assassination. A successful smear campaign can result in a loss of followers, brand deals, and income.
  • Platform for Attacks: Social media platforms that influencers use to build their brand can also be used as a means for anonymous defamation, cyberbullying, and the rapid spread of character attacks.
  • High Stakes: In competitive fields, whether in entertainment, business, or politics, individuals with a high public profile (including influencers) may become targets of character assassination by rivals seeking an advantage or revenge. 

In essence, an influencer is a public figure who can be a target of character assassination, a tactic used to destroy their standing and influence.”

. . . . .

IS GASLIGHTING COMMONPLACE?

Getting back on target: I asked Google AI what percent of people in the United States gaslight.

Google AI said: 

  • “Workplace: A survey indicated that 50% of workers between 18 and 54 have experienced gaslighting.
  • Domestic violence: A survey by the National Domestic Violence Hotline found that 74% of female victims of domestic violence experienced gaslighting from their partner.
  • Medical settings: Medical gaslighting is a recognized issue, but statistics on the overall percentage of the population who experience it are not provided in the search results.”

Then I asked Google AI: Is gaslighting commonplace?

Google AI said: “Yes, gaslighting is commonplace and has become more recognized, leading to its use in various contexts like personal relationships, the workplace, and even broader societal issues. While it was once a term primarily discussed in abusive relationships, its application has expanded as awareness grew, with Google searches for ‘gaslighting’ increasing significantly since 2016. It is used to describe a subtle but manipulative form of psychological abuse in which a person is made to question their own sanity and perception of reality. 

Where gaslighting occurs

  • Personal relationships: It is most common in intimate relationships, where it can be a core part of emotional abuse, undermining a person’s self-worth and creating dependency.
  • Workplace: Gaslighting is also used in the workplace as a form of subtle bullying to undermine employees and make them doubt their competence.
  • Social and systemic issues: Concepts like “racial gaslighting” also exist, where societal inequalities and prejudice are dismissed or denied. 

Why it is now more common

  • Increased public awareness: The term gained significant public recognition, and in 2022, it was named Merriam-Webster’s word of the year.
  • Online content: The proliferation of online content, such as YouTube videos explaining gaslighting and how to identify it, has contributed to its widespread discussion.
  • Broader recognition: The term is now used to label a range of manipulative behaviors that were previously not as clearly defined, leading to its application in more diverse situations.”

. . . . .

HOW TO REACT TO GASLIGHTING

I asked Google AI how to react to gaslighting.

Google AI said: “To respond to gaslighting, stay calm and don’t engage in arguments; instead, calmly state your truth and set firm boundaries. You can use phrases like, ‘I remember things differently’, or ‘That’s not how I experienced that’. To protect yourself long-term, document incidents, seek support from friends or professionals, practice self-care, and consider limiting contact with the person. 

In the moment

  • Stay calm and don’t argue: 

Gaslighters want to provoke an emotional reaction. Staying calm and indifferent can help you avoid giving them power. 

  • Keep it simple and repeat phrases: 

Instead of getting drawn into a long argument, use short, firm statements like: 

    • ‘I remember things differently’. 
    • ‘That is not how I experienced that’.
    • ‘I see things differently’.
    • ‘I understand you disagree with me’.
  • Assert your reality: 

You can use direct statements to show you are confident in your perception: 

    • ‘I know how I feel, and I’m not changing my opinion’. 
    • ‘My feelings are my feelings; this is how I feel’.
    • ‘I do not imagine facts’. 

Long-term strategies

  • Document everything: 

Keep a journal of incidents to help you see a pattern and have evidence if needed. 

  • Set clear boundaries: 

Decide what behavior you will and will not accept, and enforce it. For example, ‘I cannot continue this conversation if you keep interrupting me’ or ‘We can talk when we are both calm’. 

  • Seek support: 

Talk to trusted friends, family, or a therapist who can validate your experience and offer support. 

  • Prioritize self-care: 

Engage in activities that build your self-confidence and promote your well-being. 

  • Consider professional help: 

If gaslighting is affecting your mental health, a therapist can provide coping strategies and support you in navigating the situation.”

SUMMARY

We have three topics here: Mountain Lion attacks, mobbing, and gaslighting. They have their similarities. In each instance, I feel I am being … or am about to be … viciously attacked.

Google’s suggestions about how deal with mobbing and gaslighting are good, I feel. My suggestions about dealing with Mountain Lion attacks are also good.

When you compare the two … Google’s suggestions and my own … there are some similarities. Confidence and courage are the key, are they not? We must be confident and courageous when confronted with viciousness, whether from humans or from wild predators.

Then as to the Lightworker credo, we must cultivate in our lives the positive virtues. We must turn to the Light. We must change Darkness to Light not just in theory, but moment-to-moment, in our daily lives.

We must learn the art of sudden alteration … whether of stance, or of physical balance, or of emotional balance, or of neutral mind.

We must be still in mind, body and spirit. Then we will be free to act in the face of the utmost adversity.

For Telepaths and Lightworkers: On Judging Others by the Amount of Turmoil Around Them

Sometimes we telepaths get round to the notion that other people must be right awful if they are encountering clouds of negative thought forms, or if they are surrounded by delusions of mass hysteria.

In the case of Lightworkers this is far from true.

The Darkness flees to us. It seeks to be transformed to the Light. We are the Light. But a great Wind of Darkness can cause us to be nonplussed, can it not?

I state … and other Lightworkers aver … that each human being has the right to ask our Ascension Team to set aside what Dark we are right now unable to transform. Our Ascension Teams can set the Dark aside, to be dealt with another day.

Even better, we can ask our Ascension team to optimize Timelines and Dimensions, so that the right amount of Darkness confronts our Light.

In that way we can retain physical form, as may be required by the Will of God right now.

When we see other Lightworkers confronted by the Dark … no matter in what arena … whether in personal relationships or in the workplace or in social groups … whether through mobbing or gaslighting or wild animal attacks … then the thing to do is not to change the LIghtworker.

I ask my fellow Lightworkers not to change me. As if I were deficient, or broken, or in need.

Instead, please feel the Light. That is all that may be required to make things just as God would have them.

God is Light. We are fashioned in His image. We are Light.

Let us see Light in one another. Let each Lightworker find the LIght in his or her fellow Lightworkers.

May this be true for all humankind.

God bless you all
And keep you safe,
And be with you
Through all your days!

In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.

Dear Ones,

I saw a video by Alan Watts last night; it was the first time I had looked into his work. What he said corresponded closely to what I have experienced in my own life. That is a topic I have hesitated to broach, out of a natural aversion to appearing very different from other people.

Awakening does set a person apart from other people … the more so, in my case, because on meeting a man I can to some extent see the course of his life so far, and the likely course our lives together might take were we to become romantically involved.

Knowing the beginning and the end (as it were) puts a damper on romantic love. And then there is the standing above the passing show, as mentioned by Alan Watts in the video. Seeing the third dimension as an unfolding of Lila … of the Divine play … makes it difficult to take ‘falling in love’ … which once was an overwhelming gut response for me … all that seriously. I agree wholeheartedly with Alan Watts on that. In fact, insofar as a woman may do so, I feel as if I am standing right their in his shoes! That was quite a shock indeed.

Then again, there is a wonderful new kind of ‘meeting’ or ‘encounter’ that takes place when an Awakened person … whether man or woman … enjoys. I see that Alan Watts terms this ‘presence’. I myself feel it as a temporary merging of fields or Light … what I term ‘personal energy fields’ or ‘bodies of Light’ in my “Mastering the Mind” series that begins here …

Link: “Mastering the Mind and the Human EMF: 0. Introduction and Contents,” . by Alice B. Clagett, written and published on 16 April 2016; revised on 12 February 2019 and on 18 June 2022 through 31 October 2022; revised on 20 August 2023 … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-56Y ..

Alan Watts was influenced by Zen Buddhism and I, on the other hand, am a Christian and a Lightworker. Thus I am thinking what is expressed in his below-referenced video may be a characteristic of the Awakened Soul, no matter what their religious background. So I thought I would recommend the video to you …

SHORT SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION

  • The first root race (Polarian) – Bacteria or Martians?
  • The second root race (Hyperborean) – Lichens?
  • The third root race (Lemurian) – Hatzegopteryz?

[Could it be that Hatzegopteryx was a Lemurian? The description of Lemurians by W. Scott-Elliot below fits the archaeological research on Hatzegopteryx … I asked Google AI: What did lemurians look like according to the School of Theosophy? … see below]

  • The fourth root race (Atlantean) – Toltecs and Quetzacoatl; Saniwa Ensidens, Modern-Day Lizards and Amphibians and Their Overlighting Star Beings; Black Magicians and Chimeras
  • The fifth root race (Aryan) – Modern Man
    • Alice’s Perilous Tales: Women Degenerate in Spirituality Who Killed 16 Women for Gain in Modern-Day Los Angeles
      • Curse of Death by Psychic Swoon
      • Curse of Death by Traffic Accident
  • The emergence of the sixth subrace of the Aryan root race
  • The sixth root race – Lightworkers, Pathfinders, Wayshowers, Healers, Ascensioneers
    • Anabiosis spiritalis
    • Scientella spiritalis
    • Aurora spiritalis
    • Ascensus spiritalis
    • Vocatus spiritalis
    • Illuminatio spiritalis
    • Creatio spiritalis
    • Servitus spiritalis
  • The seventh root race

Here is why I feel Viktor Skumin’s concept of Homo spirituals is like the qualities of Lightworkers … I asked Google AI: What is a Lightworker? The answer shows the similarity between Homo spiritualis and Lightworkers …

  • Core Beliefs and Characteristics
  • Possible Traits and Activities

So that you can compare Ascension gifts in a New Age context to the gifts of Homo spiritualis as explained by Viktor Skumin, I asked Google AI: What are Ascension gifts in a New Age context?

  • Ascension
  • Ascension Symptoms
  • Spiritual Gifts
  • Examples of Ascension Gifts
    • Intuition and Psychic Abilities
    • Healing Abilities
    • Empathy and Compassion
    • Creative Expression
    • Energy Work
    • Manifestation
    • Channeling

I asked Google AI Overview about this: School of Theosophy “primitive man”

  • Early Stages of Evolution
  • Lack of Self-Consciousness
  • Connection to Nature
  • Spiritual Evolution
  • Not Inherently Inferior
  • Contrast with Later Development

I asked Google AI – in depth version – re this: School of theosophy “primitive man”

  • Ancient Root Races
  • Beyond Modern Records
  • Non-Physical Beginnings
  • Lemurian and Atlantean Races
  • Spiritual Evolution and Physical Forms
  • Intelligent Guidance
  • Controversial Aspect

I searched youtube for: “Primitive Man” Theosophy. I found this video which describes Attachments Caused by Desire ... [see below]

MY CURRENT WORKING HYPOTHESES REGARDING CLEARING THROUGH PAINFUL CONNECTIONS TO THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS OF ROOT RACES 1 THROUGH 5

  • Lightworkers, Ascensioneers, Wayshowers, and Healers who are being ‘tagged’ to people in other Root Races who are alive on Earth today may need to avoid … Attachments.
  • We must maintain neutral mind through meditation, kirtan, and yoga
  • I feel it might be best to avoid Shamans and Shamanic practices since these are associated with the fourth root race. 
  • I myself feel that if I de-emphasize speaking with Earth animals I can then avoid contact with Witches and Warlocks who enter the bodies of Earth animals and speak through them.
  • It goes without saying that avoiding the practice of Black Magic is essential to the Ascension process.
  • Then on the other hand, it could be more beneficial to all of us … both men and women who are Lightworkers and Ascensioneers … to clear our energy fields of attachments and concentrate on communicating with our Ascension teams.

CONCLUSION

  • Well, the ideas of the School of Theosophy at least in some degree help explain the experiences I am having as a Lightworker today. There is some common ground there, I feel.
  • For members of various Root Races there may be Awareness Timeline and Awareness Dimensional spin-off so that the process of Ascension can be optimally accomplished by each Soul on Earth.
  • Thus it may not be necessary to take them so seriously. After all, everything is in the hands of God, and He is seeing to the details of the Ascension process.

THE COMPLETE POST

Dear Ones,

INTRODUCTION

I am researching the question why what Theosophy terms ‘primitive man’ or ‘savage man’ which have been root races 1-3 (including Lemurians among others); root race 4 (Atlanteans); and root race 5 (Aryans)  are entering my dreamtime realm and astral imaginings and causing me great anguish in recent months, since I and the other Ascension folks mostly are members of what the School of Theosophy terms the 6th race.

I have been putting off this research because I find it somewhat abhorrent. I am from the educational culture at the University of California, which espouses diversity and harmony in the workplace.

Thus I tend to gloss over cultural and racial differences in a Politically Correct way, when in fact there are large differences between cultures and races in the world today that I needed to research … no matter how distasteful I found the idea of doing the research … in order to come upon a way to stop the psychic anguish.

I finally decided to go ahead and do the research. I found descriptions of the root races in English Wikipedia and in Google AI. Here are excerpts …

The first root race (Polarian) – Bacteria or Martians?

[Comments: This may be about Martians – what scientists call bacteria – although they of course are physical rather than etheric beings. –Alice B. Clagett]

“The first root race was ‘ethereal’, i.e. they were composed of etheric matter. They reproduced by dividing like an amoeba. Earth was still cooling at that time. The first mountain to arise out of the stormy primeval ocean was Mount Meru …”

The second root race (Hyperborean) – Lichens?

[Comments: Possibly Lichens? –Alice B. Clagett]

. . . . .

“The second root race lived in Hyperborea. The second root race was colored golden yellow. Hyperborea included what is now Northern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Scandinavia, Northern Russia and Kamchatka. The climate was tropical because Earth had not yet developed an axial tilt. The esoteric name of their continent is Plaksha; … they called themselves the Kimpurshas. They reproduced by budding …”

The third root race (Lemurian) – Hatzegopteryz?

Animated Gif: “Encounter with a Hatzegopteryx,” by Alice B. Clagett, 16 February 2025, CC BY-SA 4.0 International, from “Awakening with Planet Earth,” https://awakeningwithplanetearth.com ..

“The third root race, the Lemurian lived in Lemuria. The esoteric name of Lemuria is Shalmali …  Lemuria, according to Theosophists, existed in a large part of what is now the Indian Ocean including Australia and extending into the South Pacific Ocean; its last remnants are the Australian continent, the island of New Guinea, and the island of Madagascar. Lemuria sank gradually and was eventually destroyed by incessantly erupting volcanoes.” — excerpts from Link: “Root Race,” in English Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_race … CC BY-SA 4.0 — lightly edited

Could it be that Hatzegopteryx was a Lemurian? The description of Lemurians by W. Scott-Elliot below fits the archaeological research on Hatzegopteryx …

I asked Google AI: What did lemurians look like according to the School of Theosophy? Google AI said …

“According to the School of Theosophy, Lemurians, as the Third Root Race, underwent a significant evolution in their appearance over time.

“Initially, they were described as ethereal and more spiritual than physical, with a “gelatinous, hardly distinguishable outwardly from the surrounding substance” body constitution.

“”As they progressed, they became more physical and developed into beings who were much taller and bigger than our current race.

“Some later Theosophical accounts, like those found in W. Scott-Elliot’s ‘The Lost Lemuria’ which drew upon the works of H.P. Blavatsky, depict them as:

  • Gigantic in stature: reaching heights of twelve to fifteen feet tall.
  • Distinctive facial features: having dark skin, a long lower jaw, a flattened face, and small but piercing eyes that were far apart and could see sideways.
  • Possessing a third eye: located at the back of their head. “

It feels to me that many in the third root race … the last of the Lemurians according to the School of Theosophy .. are undertaking the initial journey from animal to human form today.]

The fourth root race (Atlantean) – Toltecs and Quetzacoatl; Saniwa Ensidens, Modern-Day Lizards and Amphibians and Their Overlighting Star Beings; Black Magicians and Chimeras 

[Comments: Quetzacoatl, as shown in the image below, was worshipped by the Toltecs, who are thought to have been among the fourth root race, the Atlanteans. –Alice B. Clagett]

[Comments: Then there is the fourth root race, the Atlanteans (who inhabited Atlantis), and it seems to me there are many of their descendant line in the world today, and that they are Shamanically opposing Lightworkers, Pathfinders, Wayshowers, Healers, and Ascensioneers. They do this with materialistic aims and by practicing Black Magic.

There is particular trouble for us Lightworkers on the astral and physical planes today to do with chimeras … people with the Souls of animals. From the above source, here is support for the notion that these problems have to do with root race 4 –Alice B. Clagett] …

“The downfall of Atlantis started when some of the Toltecs began to practice black magic about 850,000 BC, corrupted by the dragon ‘Thevetat’ … remembered as Devadatta, the opponent of Buddha … The people began to become selfish and materialistic.

“Soon thereafter, the Turanians (the ancestors of the people we now know as the Turkic peoples) became dominant in much of Atlantis. The Turanians continued the practice of black magic which reached its height about 250,000 BC and continued until the final sinking of Atlantis, although they were opposed by white magicians.

“The Master Morya incarnated as the Emperor of Atlantis in 220,000 BC to oppose the black magicians … The black magicians used magical spells to breed human-animal chimeras. They possessed an army composed of chimeras that were composites composed of a human body with the heads of fierce predators such as lions, tigers and bears, that ate enemy corpses on the battlefield …

. . . . .

“The war between the white magicians and the black magicians continued until the end of Atlantis. The Masters of the Ancient Wisdom telepathically warned their disciples (the white magicians) to flee Atlantis in ships while there was still time to get out before the final cataclysm. As noted above, the final sudden submergence of Atlantis due to earthquakes occurred in 9,564 BC …

“The descendants of the Atlanteans according to traditional Theosophy include those of the Mongolian race, the Malayan race, and the American Indian race as well as some people of what in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was called the ‘olive-skinned’ Mediterranean race …” —Ibid.

[Comments: I asked Google AI what the Atlanteans looked like according to the School of Theosophy. The first answer was that they had four eyes in the beginning times of their rootrace.

I see that Saniwa Ensidens, which had four eyes, postdates Archeopteryx in the fossil record. I wonder if the idea of very early four-eyed fourth rootrace individuals refers to Saniwa Ensidens?

Then also I see from Google AI that the Atlanteans had three eyes … two physical eyes and one ‘third eye-point’. I expect this might refer to modern-day reptiles and amphibians and their overlighting star beings? –Alice B. Clagett]

The fifth root race (Aryan) – Modern Man

[Comments: I feel this is most of the people on Earth prior to Earth’s Ascension.

Since 2012 many people of the fifth root race, and some people of root races one through four, have risen to the sixth root race energy level. There are also sixth root race people born prior to 2012 who were sparsely intermixed with the dominant fifth root race, which is now receding in numbers. –Alice B. Clagett]

According to Google AI, “In Theosophy, the ‘fifth race’ refers to the Aryan root race, the current [just recently beginning to recede] stage of human evolution. This concept, prominent in Helena Blavatsky’s teachings, posits that humanity is progressing through a series of ‘root races’, each characterized by distinct physical and spiritual traits.

“The Aryan race is believed to have emerged from the previous, fourth root race (the Atlantean) and is considered to be the fifth in a series of seven. Theosophists believe the Aryan root race began roughly 100,000 years ago, with its origins in Atlantis.” –public domain

According to the English Wikipedia article cited near the beginning of this post …

“Generally speaking, a large percentage of the people who live in the time of the period of the fifth root race [which would be now] are part of the fifth root race. However Blavatsky also opines that some Semitic peoples have become ‘degenerate in spirituality’ …

[Comments; I note that people who are degenerate in spirituality can look very alluring, but it may be that they are using seduction to murder for the prospect of financial gain. So then it is very important to keep an eye out for the ordinary looking person to keep an eye out for the ‘catch 22’ in the come-on of a good looking person of the opposite sex …

Alice’s Perilous Tales: Women Degenerate in Spirituality Who Killed 16 Women for Gain in Modern-Day Los Angeles

Just last night I was hearing, on the astral plane, how a Practical Kabbalist living today in Los Angeles ‘fessed up’ to being a member of a group of Practical Kabbalists posing as Hindu thuggees who had murdered 16 women over the years. 

It seemed to me that this beautiful lady was proud of the group’s track record, and that made me wonder how they figured murders to be something to be proud of? Murder is so unlike the Lightworker mission on Earth!

Sometimes I ponder this, but I just cannot figure it out. I guess murderers and healers are on different timelines … or they belong to different root races … or ? ? ?

I had seen a woman who reminded me of this lovely lady at a medical center that afternoon. The woman was tastefully dressed in a black dress. She was standing looking at the floor directory on the wall to the left of the elevators. 

I had been fasting all day in preparation for the usual annual comprehensive blood tests … I’m sure you are familiar with these? … and I thought I had best have a bite to eat before driving back home, so as to improve my blood sugar level and increase my alertness on the drive.

So I was sitting on a bench next to the floor directory. eating a sandwich and a protein bar. And there, right next to me, was a woman who reminded me of the Practical Kabbalist from many years ago. I couldn’t tell for sure whether it was she because she was wearing a black face mask.

That encounter yesterday afternoon with the lady who resembled my former meditation group leader may be the reason why I heard the story of the sixteen murdered women on the astral plane last night.

To get back to my story, when astral contact occurred that night, I asked the lady how her group had accomplished the murder of the sixteen women. 

Curse of Death by Psychic Swoon. She said that five were murdered by use of the Psychic Swoon technique that I have described elsewhere, and to which some years ago I was ruthlessly subjected by her group and another group related to hers in Colorado …

Link: “Compendium: Psychic Murder – Bow Down to Me! Psychic Swoon,” by Alice B. Clagett, compiled and published on 17 July 2020; updated … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-jc6 ..

As I had survived these ordeals, I asked this very alluring lady how her group had murdered the five women using the psychic swoon technique. She said they had fallen down in a dead faint. One woman in their group held their nose and mouth shut. Another held their body immobile. And a third woman used black magic to make their vital signs fade away. Then the group could steal the victims’ money.

Curse of Death by Traffic Accident. I asked this woman: What about the other eleven women amongst the sixteen that had been murdered? She said those were killed in traffic accidents.

. . . . .

That reminded me of the immense trouble I had experienced driving back home from the meditations with that group of women. It would take me four hours to make a 45 minute drive.

I could not use the freeway as I would suddenly over and over again be overcome with the urge to sleep.

I tried taking surface streets, but it felt dangerous to be pulling over to sleep on a residential street at night when I was overcome with sleepiness over and over again.

I thought I would get a room near the place where the meditation took place … sleep for a few hours … then go home. Nevertheless, the unaccustomed drowsiness again and again would overtake me on the subsequent drive.

I was flummoxed. I could not understand it. But now I do.

These women were using black magic to cause a spell of drowsiness while driving. They were anticipating I would have a fatal traffic accident while driving home.

I thank God in His Goodness that I did not join the other eleven victims of this ploy!

Come to think of it, I may have been perceived by the meditation group (who are adepts at telepathy and mind control) as being in a vulnerable position yesterday at the medical center, since i was a little out of it from fasting.

Could the lady reading the floor directory yesterday really have been the meditation leader from long ago? She did take quite a long time reading, and was still standing beside me when I finished lunch and walked out the front door of the medical center.

Might she have been trying to subject me to the Curse of Death by Traffic Accident yesterday, by any chance? 

If so, I have to wonder what would have happened had I not optimized my blood sugar by eating that sandwich and protein bar before driving home.

Here is the lowdown on the lady in question …

“She asserted that some peoples descended from the Lemurians are ‘semi-animal creatures’. These latter include ‘the Tasmanians, a portion of the Australians’.

“There are also ‘considerable numbers of the mixed Lemuro-Atlantean peoples produced by various crossings with such semi-human stocks — e.g., the wild men of Borneo, the Veddhas of Ceylon, most of the remaining Australians, Bushmen, Negritos, Andaman Islanders, etc.” –excerpt from Link: “Root Race,” in English Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_race … CC BY-SA 4.0 — lightly edited

[Comments: I feel this most likely to apply to people from these regions whose early years were spent in a tribal setting without influence of the internet and without influence of the global community. I have met some of these people, either on the astral plane or on the physical plane. I find their fundamental imaginings to be wildly different from my own.

The Far Eastern legend of Hanuman, the ape man, offers an understanding that having such a tribal origin, in and of itself does not prevent a tribesman or tribeswoman from aspiring to enlightenment … or in the Lightworker context, from Ascending with Planet Earth. –Alice B. Clagett]

Here is more from the English Wikipedia article …

The emergence of the sixth subrace of the Aryan root race

“According to Blavatsky the sixth subrace of the Aryan root race will begin to evolve in the area of the United States in the early 21st century. This sixth subrace of the Aryan root race will be called the Australo-American subrace and is believed by Theosophists to be now arising from the Teutonic subrace of the Aryan root race in Australia and in the Western United States (many individuals of the new subrace will be born in California) and its surrounding nearby areas (i.e., the Australo-American subrace is in arising from the Anglo-American, Anglo-Canadian, Anglo-Australian and presumably also the Anglo-New Zealander ethnic groups) …

“The sixth or Australo-American sub-race will ‘possess certain psychic powers, and for this the pituitary body will be developed, thus giving an additional sense, that of cognising astral emotions in the ordinary waking consciousness. We may say that in general the sixth sub-race will bring in wisdom and intuition, blending all that is best in the intelligence of the fifth subrace and the emotion of the fourth’.” —Ibid.

Per Google AI, “In Theosophy, the ‘sixth race’ refers to a future root race of humanity, succeeding the current (fifth) Aryan root race. This sixth race is envisioned as more ethereal and spiritually advanced, with a focus on intuition, psychic abilities, and a deeper connection to the divine. It’s not a racial distinction in the traditional sense, but rather a stage of human evolution encompassing all people who are born with the characteristics of this new race.” –public domain

[Comments: Here is a description of eight subraces of the sixth root race. It seems to me these are more descriptions of Lightworker qualities and Ascension gifts as we in the Ascension movement conceive them to be. There is also a connection to East Indian concepts of ‘agni’ or ‘spiritual fire’ and of ‘kundalini arisen’ as experienced in kundalini yoga. –Alice B. Clagett] …

“Victor Skumin elaborated on the theosophical conceptions of spiritual evolution and proposed (1990) a classification of Homo spiritalis (Latin: spiritual man), the sixth root race, consisting of eight subraces: HS0 Anabiosis spiritalis, HS1 Scientella spiritalis, HS2 Aurora spiritalis, HS3 Ascensus spiritalis, HS4 Vocatus spiritalis, HS5 Illuminatio spiritalis, НS6 Creatio spiritalis, and HS7 Servitus spiritalis. According to Skumin:

  • “Anabiosis spiritalis is spirituality in the potential of unmanifest accumulations of personality, the charge of the fires of spiritual creation;
  • “Scientella spiritalis is the cordial presentiment of the presence and demands of the spirit, spiritualization of the fire of centers, glimpses of self-consciousness of a spiritual person;
  • “Aurora spiritalis is the imperative of the spirit, the action of the spiritual fire of the centers in the heart, the kindling of the fire of the spirit, the formation of the orientation of the personality to the spiritual improvement of life;
  • “Ascensus spiritalis is the dawn of spiritual aspirations, the action of the fire of the spirit in the heart, searching spiritual work, aspiration of self-consciousness to merge with the One Spirit;
  • “Vocatus spiritalis is the maturation of spiritual accumulations, the purposeful spiritual creation, self-awareness and realization of a person as a warrior of the spirit;
  • “IIluminatio spiritalis is the beginning of the fiery transmutation, the lighting of the achievement fire; revealing the identity of man – the earthly carrier of the Thoughts of the One Spirit;
  • “Creatio Spiritalis is the beginning of fiery creation, the action of the fire of achievement in the heart, the revealing self-consciousness of man as the earthly carrier of the Light of the One Spirit;
  • “Servitus Spiritalis is the carrying a consciously accepted duty-commission, the synthesis of spirituality in the clarity of knowledge of a fiery man” — excerpted from Link: “Root Race,” in English Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_race … CC BY-SA 4.0 — lightly edited

The seventh root race

“This root race will be the last race to appear on planet Earth. Theosophist Scott Ramsey predicts that any sexual difference among humans will cease to exist, and both conception and birth will become entirely spiritual.” –– excerpted from Ibid.

Here is why I feel Viktor Skumin’s concept of Homo spirituals is like the qualities of Lightworkers …

I asked Google AI: What is a Lightworker? The answer shows the similarity between Homo spiritualis and Lightworkers …

“A Lightworker is a term used in some spiritual circles to describe someone who feels a deep calling to spread light, love, and positive energy in the world. They are often described as individuals who are highly empathetic, compassionate, and drawn to healing and helping others. They may work in various fields, both spiritual and practical, and often experience a strong sense of purpose related to making a positive impact on the planet and its inhabitants.

“Here’s a more detailed look at the concept of a Lightworker:

Core Beliefs and Characteristics

“Service and Healing: Lightworkers are driven by a desire to serve others and contribute to the well-being of the planet.

“Empathy and Compassion: They often possess a strong sense of empathy, allowing them to connect with and understand the emotions of others.

“Spiritual Awareness: They may have a heightened sense of spiritual awareness and intuitive abilities.

“Desire for Positive Change: They are motivated to create a more positive and loving world.

“Not Always Conscious: Not all Lightworker are aware of their role or mission, but they may still embody these qualities through their actions.

Possible Traits and Activities

“Healing Abilities: Some Lightworker are believed to have natural healing abilities, whether through energy work, intuitive guidance, or other modalities.

“Spiritual Practices: They may engage in various spiritual practices, such as meditation, yoga, or energy work, to enhance their connection to light and raise their vibration.

“Diverse Occupations: Lightworkers can be found in a wide range of professions, from healthcare and teaching to the arts and creative fields.

“Awakening and Ascension: Many Lightworker believe in concepts like spiritual awakening and ascension, where humanity and the planet evolve to higher levels of consciousness.

“In essence, the term ‘Lightworker’ describes someone who embodies a positive, compassionate, and service-oriented approach to life, often with a spiritual dimension and a desire to make the world a brighter place.” –public domain, excerpt, style has been edited

So that you can compare Ascension gifts in a New Age context to the gifts of Homo spiritualis as explained by Viktor Skumin, I asked Google AI: What are Ascension gifts in a New Age context?

Google AI said:

“In New Age spirituality, the concept of “ascension gifts” is closely related to the process of spiritual awakening and ascension to higher states of consciousness.

“Here’s a breakdown of the concept:

Ascension

“This refers to the process of raising one’s vibrational frequency and consciousness to a higher dimension or level of existence, often described as moving from a 3D to a 5D reality.

Ascension Symptoms

“As individuals move through this process, they may experience physical, emotional, and mental shifts, sometimes called “ascension symptoms,” such as fatigue, headaches, heightened intuition, and shifts in perception.

Spiritual Gifts

“Within this journey, individuals are believed to naturally awaken and develop various spiritual abilities or ‘gifts’ … These are considered natural extensions of the soul and higher self, emerging as a byproduct of the ascension process.

Examples of Ascension Gifts

“These gifts can manifest in diverse ways, including:

“Intuition and Psychic Abilities: Enhanced inner knowing, clairvoyance, clairsentience, etc.

“Healing Abilities: The capacity to facilitate physical or emotional healing in oneself and others.

“Empathy and Compassion: A deeper understanding and feeling for the emotions and experiences of others.

“Creative Expression: Artistic abilities infused with spiritual meaning and light.

“Energy Work: The ability to perceive and manipulate subtle energy fields.

“Manifestation: The capacity to attract and create desired realities through intention and focused energy.

“Channeling: Receiving messages and guidance from higher realms or spiritual beings. –public domain, lightly edited for style and content

I asked Google AI Overview about this: School of Theosophy “primitive man”

Image: “Pencil mixed with natural photo-textures and digital color.

Google AI said this:

“In Theosophy, ‘primitive man’ refers to early humans during the first three root races, who existed before the development of self-consciousness and logical thought as understood in later human development. This period is characterized by a less defined sense of individuality and a closer connection to the natural world and spiritual realms. Theosophy views this as a stage in humanity’s overall spiritual evolution, rather than a state of inherent inferiority.

“Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

“Early Stages of Evolution: Theosophy posits that humanity has gone through multiple root races, and ‘primitive man’ is associated with the early stages of these races, particularly the first three.

“Lack of Self-Consciousness: In this early stage, individuals are described as having a less developed sense of self and a more instinctual way of being, with consciousness primarily focused on the external world and physical needs.

Connection to Nature: Primitive man is seen as being more directly connected to the natural world and its forces, with spiritual understanding emerging from this connection.

“Spiritual Evolution: Theosophy emphasizes that this ‘primitive’ state is not a static or negative condition, but rather a stage in a larger process of spiritual evolution towards higher states of consciousness.

“Not Inherently Inferior: Theosophical teachings suggest that even in this early stage, these individuals possessed spiritual potential and were part of a larger evolutionary plan, rather than being inherently flawed or less evolved.

“Contrast with Later Development: As humanity evolves, self-consciousness and logical thought develop, leading to a more complex understanding of the self and the world. This is not presented as a superior state, but rather a different phase in the overall journey of spiritual development.” –public domain

I asked Google AI – in depth version – re this: School of theosophy “primitive man”

Google AI said this, which I find interesting as a Lightworker:

“Theosophy, particularly through the teachings of Helena Blavatsky and subsequent Theosophists, presents a unique perspective on ‘primitive man’ and human evolution that differs significantly from conventional scientific understandings.

“Here’s a breakdown of the Theosophical view:

“Ancient Root Races: Theosophy proposes a theory of ‘Root Races,’ which are successive stages of humanity’s spiritual and physical evolution.

“Beyond Modern Records: Theosophy asserts that humanity’s origins and earliest ‘primitive’ forms predate modern anthropological and historical records. Theosophists believe that the anthropological records, historic and even prehistoric, belong to our current Root Race, which is the fifth.

“Non-Physical Beginnings: The first Root Race is described as non-physical beings lacking in self-consciousness, developing over 1.5 billion years ago.

“Lemurian and Atlantean Races: Theosophy describes prior root races, such as the Lemurians and Atlanteans, existing on now-lost continents like Lemuria and Atlantis.

“Spiritual Evolution and Physical Forms: Theosophy emphasizes a close link between spiritual evolution and the development of physical forms. It teaches that the human soul achieves salvation by incarnating in a series of seven ‘races,’ or body types, ranging from gigantic amorphous and ethereal bodies and transitioning through hermaphroditic into gigantic gendered ape-like humans, modern humans, and thereafter adepts and divine beings.

“Intelligent Guidance: Unlike scientific theories emphasizing chance and random mutations, Theosophy suggests that evolution is guided by intelligent beings, sometimes referred to as gods, angels, or devas.

“Controversial Aspects: Aspects of Theosophy’s teachings, particularly the Root Race theory, have been criticized for incorporating elements that can be interpreted as racially hierarchical. However, proponents argue that Theosophical race theory, as interpreted in texts like Blavatsky’s ‘The Secret Doctrine’, is not inherently racist, and emphasizes the shared divine spark within all races.

“In essence, the Theosophical understanding of ‘primitive man’ transcends the purely physical and historical timelines of conventional science, emphasizing the deep spiritual origins and evolutionary journey of humanity through various stages and forms, guided by unseen forces.” –public domain

I searched youtube for: “Primitive Man” Theosophy. I found this video …

Video: “Attachment and Freedom by Bro. Pradip Mahapatra: Delhi Theosophical Online Meeting 1st June 2024,” by Theosophy Delhi, 1 June 2024 … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GPuTYACNqk&list=WL&index=1&t=759s ..

… which at timeline 14:30 describes Attachments Caused by Desire. The online list includes …

  • to feel angry,
  • to speak sharply,
  • to be jealous,
  • to feel greed for money,
  • to envy regarding the possessions of other peoples, and
  • to become depressed.

MY CURRENT WORKING HYPOTHESES REGARDING CLEARING THROUGH PAINFUL CONNECTIONS TO THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS OF ROOT RACES 1 THROUGH 5

I think it may be that those of us Lightworkers, Ascensioneers, Wayshowers, and Healers who are being ‘tagged’ to people in other Root Races who are alive on Earth today may need to avoid these Attachments.

Also, when we sense others on the astral and mental planes who have these Attachments, we must maintain neutral mind through meditation, kirtan, and yoga so as not to be pulled into the maelstrom of Desire. It could be that these other Root Races will avoid our energy fields if we clear our energy fields of these attachments.

Also I feel it might be best to avoid Shamans and Shamanic practices since these are associated with the fourth root race. 

I myself feel that if I de-emphasize speaking with Earth animals I can then avoid contact with Witches and Warlocks who enter the bodies of Earth animals and speak through them. It could be some of these Witches and Warlocks are first through third root races, and I am hoping not to associate with these.

It goes without saying that avoiding the practice of Black Magic is essential to the Ascension process.

It could be male Lightworkers and Ascensioneers will find connection to other Root Races less detrimental to their energy fields than do I as a woman.

Then on the other hand, it could be more beneficial to all of us … both men and women who are Lightworkers and Ascensioneers … to clear our energy fields of attachments and concentrate on communicating with our Ascension teams. Relevant to that, see the section “Intelligent Guidance” below.

CONCLUSION

Well, the ideas of the School of Theosophy at least in some degree help explain the experiences I am having as a Lightworker today. There is some common ground there, I feel.

I am thinking that for members of various Root Races there may be Awareness Timeline and Awareness Dimensional spin-off so that the process of Ascension can be optimally accomplished by each Soul on Earth.

It could be that the trouble I am having with the astral presence of emotions and thought forms that seem alien and unwelcome to me may have to do with these Awareness Timeline and Dimensional spin-offs for people in various Root Races.

Thus it may not be necessary to take them so seriously. After all, everything is in the hands of God, and He is seeing to the details of the Ascension process.

In love, light and joy
