SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

“CONCERNING CHINESE EXPANSIONISM TO THE UNITED STATES”
A video by Alice B. Clagett

INTRODUCTION

Hi everyone, it’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.

I’ve come to some startling realizations regarding the differences between China and the United States, and I thought I’d share them with you.

I think here in America, we celebrate diversity, but we don’t recognize the importance of sorting through diversity and how different cultures react against each other. And we need to address the diversity as a problem as well as a celebration, so that we can come to a deeper understanding each of the other culture.

I’m going to put first the information that I researched last night. This is substantiated by Google AI information that I’m going to put on my website at the bottom of the page, under “More Information.” Then I’m going to put down what’s more like Psychic Impressions as a separate section. Then there will be a Conclusion based on both of these.

So you’ll know what Google AI feels to be so or what’s the current state of awareness of what’s so in the internet industry. And you’ll also be able to benefit insofar as it’s truthful from my psychic impressions. You’ll be able to sort through the two and weight my discussion in the manner that’s suitable for your own understanding of these things.

GOOGLE AI RESEARCH

Okay. So now this is what I learned from my reading last night …

These two cultures are very different and and they’re competitive. The governments of the two countries are using the differences between the two cultures as tools or pry bars during the trade war and during the ongoing conflict. And many things are happening that are not being talked about in the media.

Sorcery

The issue of sorcery: In China, sorcery is a crime. And in Hong Kong and the United States, they protect sorcery as a religion. However, they feel that crimes committed by sorcerers should be treated equally under the law according to the laws of their countries. You see? They treat the behavior of the sorcerers and not the sorcery.

So, China knows that sorcery is a potent power for evil in the world. But the United States does not understand this.

Triads – Crime Gangs

In addition, there are these groups called Triads which are crime gangs in China. These Triads use sorcery in some cases … these days, not so much, but a great deal so in in the past.

Infiltration of the United States by Strongmen – Sorcerers

China aligns with these Triads as strongmen … or you could say sorcerers and people who practice witchcraft … which they feel to be a true and potent power … and sends them to other countries such as the United States and countries worldwide to wreak havoc on those countries on behalf of China. So to some extent China aligns with the strongmen in their own country and sends them abroad.

Crimes by Triads

The Triads practice crimes such as money laundering, child exploitation, fencing of stolen goods, and many other crimes that are very grave crimes here in the United States. And so if they do that, they can be captured here in the United States and exported.

Can Triad Members Buy Their Way Out of Prison?

I do have a question. If they go back to the place where they came from, such as Hong Kong or China, can they buy their way back here for an amount of money that they’ve set aside in some other world bank just for that eventuality? I think that the answer is yes, but I don’t see it online.

Okay. So, there’s this issue of sorcery being different.

Libel and Slander Laws

I found out this morning that the laws regarding libel and slander in the United States are considerably different from those in China and Hong Kong. In the United States, they’re primarily a matter of civil recourse. In China and in Hong Kong, there are also criminal legal remedies.

So during a trade war between China and the United States this difference might be perceived as a weakness of the United States and it might be used to weaken people in the United States who are perceived to be a threat to an economic incursion.

They might be slandered. They might be libeled. Their character might be defamed under the notion that it’s more difficult to counteract these behaviors in the United States than it is in China and Hong Kong.

PSYCHIC IMPRESSIONS

Now, here’s a section more with psychic impressions that I’ve had over the years. I’m starting with that section right now.

Face

In China, loss of face is a very big thing. In the United States, it’s important, but it’s not world shatteringly important.

The need to save face can be used as a bargaining chip in our interactions with people from China. For instance, they may level a water use accusation against us that they want to report to the police. If we level a similar strength setback violation accusation against them, then in order to save face, they won’t go to the police. This has to do with territorial disputes amongst neighbors.

So then keeping in mind the value to save face, which is not immediately important to us, we can use this as a bargaining chip in our dealings with them.

Child Rearing

Then there’s another issue. There’s an issue about child rearing. Apparently in China mothers mother their children while they’re being breastfed for a couple of years and then after that they don’t treat them so much in a motherly fashion.

Here in the United States, I’m happy to say that many mothers … at least this is our ideal … love their children and help their children all their lives. So there’s a very great difference there in terms of motherly support and family support, between China and the United States.

And it could be that China’s emphasis on the importance of family has to do with their perception that our family togetherness throughout life is a strength of the United States.

Okay. So far we have sorcery, strongmen, all those crimes that syndicated crimes do … and in China, they’re called Triads.

Black Dragons

Here in Los Angeles, there was a Triad that was in the San Gabriel Valley and also in Los Angeles. Then at the turn of the century, around 2002, there was a big operation to take that crime gang out of action here in the Greater Los Angeles area. I found out so many things last night! And then I had these dreams in the morning.

Child Exploitation

Let’s see. You have motherly love. Yes, child exploitation is something that China is fighting against. But the Triads here in America, that are spreading out from China and from Hong Kong are, I feel, ruthlessly exploiting our children; ruthlessly so, I feel.

This is just an intuition that I have and I cannot prove it. But I think it has to do with the lack of motherly love in China that causes them to be more callous towards children than is the case here in the United States.

And our laws reflect our great concern for our children. There are very stiff laws here in California, for instance.

Land Use

So then we have, let’s see, land use. In China no one can own land. That’s not to say that there aren’t people who control the land in such a way that they might as well own it, I feel, but the ideal and the notion of the people is that no one can own their land.

And here in the United States, not only do we own land privately, but also we sell land to people in China.

In China, nobody owns land but the government. So essentially what happens when we allow Chinese to buy land from us is that we sell our land to the Chinese government.

This might be looked upon by China as a chance to accomplish a bloodless coup against a nitwit neighboring nation. They might feel we’re complete idiots to to sell our country bit by bit to a foreign power and that then they should take advantage of it.

Could a Triad Stage a Bloodless Coup?

So, say they engage with a a Triad crime organization which begins to buy up land in the United States. The land really belongs to the government of China if China takes over here.

But during the time that the Triad people live there, from their own point of view they’re leasing land from China. They don’t own it and pass it on, but they lease the land from China.

But here in the United States, the laws are such that you have to pass the land on, say to a family member. I think the great point that we have here is that if we can enforce not giving the land to China, but rather to a particular family member or group, that’s the thing to do.

I think we need to look at trusts in land use, and see how that really pans out with regard to people who are of foreign nationality who purchase land here. That’s very important for America. for us to stay an American nation.

Triad House by House Takeover of a Port City?

Okay, here’s another scenario. This is a scenario of a house by house takeover of a port city in the United States on behalf of the Chinese government.

Say a Triad moves from house to house, killing the homeowners and then leasing the property to tenants. If they’re able to accomplish this in a neighborhood, then what they’re doing is they’re creating the Chinese ideal of land use here. You see?

So it might be looked at as an appropriate thing to do, you see? If that were so … if that were the mindset there, that it’s appropriate to do that … then we must be ever very cautious that such a scenario does not take place in the port towns of the United States.

Surveillance Devices and Financial Accounts

There’s also, as you know, the issue that I’ve spoken of in separate venues regarding surveillance systems and computers. The trouble is that the software we use to defend our homes and to do our finances online is owned by or might be susceptible to surveillance by Chinese groups.

And the Chinese groups, according to Chinese law, have to allow their data to be available to the Department of Defense in China. Do you see? So if a war is going on, all these factors are considerations.

Stealth Genocide by Triads

One thing that the Triads might do here in America, if they figured there was a war going on between China and America. even before we declared a trade war here, is that they might export some of their members to Los Angeles and other places to decimate the child population of United States citizens.

One way that’s done sometimes in the Orient is to castrate the boy children. And we may find if we look carefully into hospital records that men and boy children here in Los Angeles and elsewhere in the United States are being castrated.

Now, why are they being castrated? It’s so that they cannot have children. Okay? If they cannot have children, then the competing nation, the nation that is at war with us, will have children and those children will take over the United States if they are placed here. Do you understand?

It’s very basic. Genocide is a very basic way of acquiring another nation. But it can be done under wraps in this way by providing, for instance, sexual allurement as a way to attract young people. And then if the children are captured and castrated either they will die of of blood loss at that time or else if they survive they won’t be able to have children.

And so in the whole nation, if there are no children that can inseminate other children, then no more children can be produced, you understand? It’s an under the wraps way of taking over a nation.

We have to protect our children very carefully, okay? … and let them know the very great dangers of an undercover war, okay? … because our children are falling for it. This is my psychic impression. They’re falling for it by the dozens. A whole school class is gone by the 8th grade through being allured to a particular locale and there being drugged, being killed, or being castrated.

CONCLUSION

I know we as a nation have a tendency to look on the bright side and to forget about the bad stuff. I know it’s been a long time since we’ve had a war on our own turf. And what we’re dealing with is a mindset that believes this is not possible.

So, we have to turn it around. We have to protect our children. We have to protect ourselves. Okay?

God bless you all,
Keep you safe in this New Year,
And be with you
Through all your days.

In love, light, and joy,

This was my research on Google AI yesterday … that which was pertinent to the video in this post.

Is it a crime to practice sorcery in Hong Kong?

“While Hong Kong doesn’t have a specific modern law explicitly banning “sorcery,” severe forms of it, especially those involving harm, fraud, or linking to unlawful societies (like triads), are criminalized under existing laws, drawing from historical Chinese prohibitions on “wugu” (black magic) and the Societies Ordinance, meaning certain magical practices can lead to prison time, particularly if they cause physical harm or are associated with organized crime.

What’s Criminalized (Likely):

Wugu/Black Magic: Practices like “ku poisoning,” human sacrifice for magical purposes, or employing curses causing severe harm (like nightmare demons or injury) were historically punishable under Chinese codes and remain illegal through general criminal statutes.
Unlawful Societies: If sorcery is tied to illegal triad activities or secret societies, participation or aiding them is a serious offense under the Societies Ordinance, carrying hefty fines and prison sentences (up to 7 years).
Fraud & Harm: Practices that defraud others (e.g., charging for fake cures) or cause actual physical or mental harm (e.g., severe psychological distress from curses) can be prosecuted under general laws.

What’s Generally Tolerated (But Monitored):

Folk Practices: Many traditional Chinese folk rituals, like “villain hitting” (打小人 – beating effigies to curse enemies), which are common in Hong Kong, are generally tolerated unless they cross into actual harm, fraud, or break other laws.
Cultural/Religious Practices: Officially recognized religions and certain cultural practices are protected, but those deemed “superstitious” or “cults” by authorities might face scrutiny, notes Wild Hunt.

In essence: Simple spells or charms are unlikely to be crimes, but if “sorcery” involves serious physical harm, large-scale fraud, or connections to organized crime, it becomes illegal in Hong Kong, drawing from both traditional Chinese legal concepts and modern criminal laws.”

……………………………………..

Is it a crime to practice sorcery in China?

“Yes, Chinese law forbids witchcraft and sorcery. Activities categorized by authorities as “superstition” and “evil cults”—which often include folk religious practices with perceived superstitious elements—can lead to criminal charges.

The government and the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) actively oppose these practices.

Legal and Political Context

“Superstition” and “Evil Cults”: The government often labels religious activities that fall outside the five officially recognized religions as “superstition”. These labels are used to prosecute individuals under anti-cult laws, as seen in cases involving shamans and other folk practitioners.
Political Crimes: Historically and currently, sorcery is often treated as a political or heretical crime, especially when it involves government officials. Senior officials have been jailed for corruption and accused of “superstition” as part of efforts to blacken their names and highlight wavering faith in the Communist Party’s ideology.
Targeting of Practices: The authorities have historically called for crackdowns on “witches, sorcerers, and other criminal elements who practice feudal superstition to engage in hooliganism, swindling and even go so far as to kill people”. This highlights that the concern is often tied to perceived social disorder or criminal activities associated with these beliefs.
Accusations: While the practice of sorcery is criminalized, it is also illegal in China to accuse someone of being a witch in a way that leads to social ostracization or harm. This law aims to prevent the type of social persecution (such as “witch hunts”) that can occur in rural communities.

In essence, while general folk beliefs are widespread in China, the state maintains strict control over what is considered acceptable practice and actively criminalizes activities it deems “sorcery” or “superstition,” particularly if they challenge state authority or are associated with criminal behavior.”

……………………………………….

Are Hong Kong laws about sorcery different from those in China Mainland?

“Yes, Hong Kong’s laws regarding “sorcery” differ significantly from mainland China’s due to its separate legal system (common law) and “One Country, Two Systems” framework, where mainland China generally prohibits such practices as superstitious and harmful, while Hong Kong deals with related acts under broader criminal laws like assault, fraud, or importation of harmful substances, rather than specifically banning “sorcery” itself, though its media regulations have banned supernatural themes. Mainland China explicitly forbids “witchcraft and other instances of feudal, supernatural beliefs,” while Hong Kong focuses on the harm caused by alleged magical practices, like poisoning food with bodily fluids.

Mainland China’s Approach

Explicit Ban: Chinese law prohibits “witchcraft and other instances of feudal, supernatural beliefs” and views them as harmful superstitions, often cracking down on “evil cults”.
Focus on Ideology: The goal is ideological control and promoting socialist values, discouraging practices deemed backward or superstitious.

Hong Kong’s Approach

Common Law System: Hong Kong uses the common law system, distinct from mainland China’s civil law system, focusing on common law principles.
No Specific “Sorcery” Law: There isn’t a specific law against “sorcery”; instead, acts like placing bodily fluids in food (believed to be for curses) are prosecuted under existing criminal laws, such as those for assault, poisoning, or causing public nuisance, as seen with domestic workers.
Media Censorship (Historical/Current): While not a criminal law, Hong Kong’s media regulations (influenced by mainland policies) have historically banned content promoting “supernatural beliefs,” though this is more about media content than criminalizing belief.

Key Difference

Mainland China bans the belief and practice as superstitious ideology.
Hong Kong prosecutes the actions resulting from such beliefs (e.g., poisoning) under general criminal statutes, treating them as harmful acts rather than purely supernatural offenses.”

……………………………

Is it a crime to practice sorcery in the United States?

“No, practicing sorcery (or witchcraft) itself is generally not a crime in the U.S. due to First Amendment religious protections, but laws against fraud, deception, and harming others still apply, and some local ordinances (like old bans on fortune-telling) have existed, though they are being repealed. While historical laws criminalized witchcraft, modern U.S. courts recognize witchcraft as a legitimate religion, but actions like scamming people under the guise of magic, or engaging in illegal rituals (like prohibited animal sacrifice), are prosecutable offenses.

Key Points:

Religious Freedom: The First Amendment protects witchcraft as a religious practice, similar to other faiths, in the U.S..
No Federal Witchcraft Law: There are no federal laws making witchcraft illegal.
Local Exceptions/History: Some towns, like Millsboro, Delaware, had outdated bans on fortune-telling or “pretend” magic, but these are being removed, notes this A&E article.
Fraud & Harm are Illegal: If someone uses “sorcery” to defraud, scam, or harm another person (e.g., financial fraud, harassment), those specific criminal acts are prosecuted, not the belief in witchcraft itself, according to JustAnswer users.
Historical Context: Laws criminalizing witchcraft in the American colonies (like those leading to the Salem Witch Trials) are long gone, though they show the historical roots of such prohibitions.

In Summary: You can’t be arrested for being a witch, but you can be arrested for crimes committed while claiming to be one (like fraud).”

……………………………………….

China Triads

“Chinese Triads are transnational organized crime syndicates originating from secret societies in China, known for activities like extortion, drug trafficking, human trafficking, and controlling illicit businesses (gambling, loan sharking) across Greater China and the global Chinese diaspora, with major groups like 14K, Sun Yee On, and Wo Shing Wo engaging in both traditional underworld crimes and legitimate business fronts, especially in entertainment. They have complex hierarchical structures, use code names, and have deep roots in historical Chinese societies, evolving into powerful global criminal networks.

Key Aspects:

Origins & History:

Descended from anti-Qing secret societies (like the Heaven, Earth, and Man union), they flourished in Hong Kong and Macau, expanding globally through migration.

Major Groups:

Prominent Triads include 14K, Sun Yee On, Wo Shing Wo, and Shui Fong (Wo On Lok).

Activities:

Drug trafficking (heroin, ecstasy), extortion, loan sharking, human trafficking, illegal gambling, control of nightclubs, counterfeiting, and involvement in legitimate entertainment.

Structure:

Hierarchical, often using numerical codes (e.g., 489 for leader, 426 for enforcers/Red Poles) and roles like Incense Master (ceremonies) and Vanguard (recruiting).

Global Reach:

Operate in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Southeast Asia, North America (US, Canada), Europe (UK, Netherlands), Australia, and more.

Modern Operations:

Mix traditional crime with white-collar activities, money laundering, and control over legitimate businesses, especially in the HK/Taiwanese film/music industries.

In essence, Triads are highly organized, historically rooted Chinese criminal networks that have adapted to modern global crime and commerce.”

Triad (organized crime)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triad_(organised_crime) …

“Chinese government connections

Due to their history of “patriotic” work in support of various political movements and factions, triads have long been reported to have connections to the Chinese Communist Party, often via its related united front groups.^[12]^[62]^[63]^[14] According to The Washington Post, the Chinese government has engaged in the “selective use or tolerance of criminal groups for geopolitical purposes. Mixing illicit activity and patriotism has become a hallmark of some Chinese organizations with overseas interests.”^[64] Triad members have acted as agents of the party-state in achieving its political objectives of suppressing dissent, quelling protests and silencing, intimidating, and coercing critics both at home and abroad, particularly in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and countries with high concentrations of ethnic Chinese diaspora.^[11]^[65]^[66] …

… Many triads emigrated to Taiwan and Chinese communities worldwide:

… Black Dragons, Los Angeles

…………………

Black Dragons (gang)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Dragons_(gang)

“The Black Dragons (Chinese: 黑龍; Jyutping: Haak¹ Lung⁴) was a Chinese-American criminal organization and street gang that was formed in 1980 by Chinese immigrants in Lincoln Heights, Los Angeles, California. It was started by a group of young men who banded together to protect themselves from other Asian and Latino gangs. The Black Dragons operated in Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley for over two decades. At the gang’s peak it had over 100 core members. They may sometimes be identified by the color black. During their downfall in 2002, the convicted core members have made peace and united with other Asian rival gangs in prison. Over the years, One Black Dragon, ( have made allies with numerous leaders and high ranking members of previous rival organizations, this member’s information from a reliable source. This member is also a member of the Hop Sing Tong, The Bamboo Triad’s current leader ( 黃少岑 (Huang Shao-tsen), “Yao Yao”) is also his god father, has family ties with the Asian Boyz Gang, and relations with Vietnamese Boyz Gang, Cool Boyz, and Wah Ching.

The gang preyed on the Asian American communities as a source of income and is unique compared to other Asian crime groups as they were involved in both organized and street-level crime. The revenue from organized crime came mainly from extorting brothels, prostitution, money laundering, the distribution of narcotics, and counterfeiting merchandise. At street-level, the gang was involved in a wide range of crimes that included murder, robbery, home invasion and car theft.

The Black Dragon’s influence was strong in the San Gabriel Valley, during the mid-1990s until its previous downfall in 2002. After two decades, the gang gained the attention of federal authorities because of their involvement in violent criminal activities. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) opened a case against the Black Dragons in 1999. The FBI then created the Black Dragon Task force and the three-year investigation dubbed “Operation Back Door” led to the convictions of multiple gang members, stemming from murder, attempted murder, armed robbery, extortion, illegal possession of firearms and Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) charges. The gang was taken down in one of the largest gang sweeps of 2002, as federal agents simultaneously raided and arrested 30 of its core members, following up with convictions for over half of them in 2003, including a twenty-four year sentence for each of the top three members of the gang.^[2]

The gang had been identified as a top threat with a history of violence by various law enforcement agencies, according to FBI Agent Kerry Smith who headed a West Covina FBI unit that targets Asian criminal enterprise and violent crime. “These guys weren’t afraid to commit violence,” Smith said.^[^{citation needed}^]”

Wugu ku poisoning Nightmare Demons

“The terms “Wugu” (or simply “Gu” in many contexts), “poisoning,” and “Nightmare Demons” relate to a complex set of ancient Chinese beliefs surrounding a form of black magic, witchcraft, and the physical manifestations of severe illness and psychological distress.

Understanding Gu Poisoning

Gu (蠱, sometimes referred to as wugu or ku) is a legendary substance and practice rooted in Southern China folklore and traditional Chinese medicine, dating back as far as 610 CE.

Concoction: The core practice involved placing several venomous creatures, traditionally the “five poisons” (viper, centipede, scorpion, toad, and spider), into a sealed container and allowing them to fight and consume each other. The sole survivor’s essence or fluids were then used to create a potent poison.
Purpose: The gu was used to create a curse, inflict illness, control individuals, or cause misfortune and death. It was often associated with women of the Miao minority and linked to social stigmas.
Symptoms: Victims were said to experience severe internal pain, swelling, organ decay, and in some cases, insanity. The effects were slow-acting, sometimes taking up to ten days before symptoms appeared.

Connection to “Nightmare Demons”

The term “Nightmare Demons” likely stems from the description of the gu creatures as evil spirits or demons (chong 蟲) that possessed the human body, causing a range of physical and psychological torments.

Demonic Possession: Ancient texts described gu syndrome (gu zheng) as a form of “demonic infestation” (guizhu), where the “vicious parasites” or “evil spirits” were thought to gnaw at the victim from within.
Psychological Trauma: The psychological aspect of gu poisoning was significant. It was considered the “worst nightmare of any human being,” representing “darkness, rottenness, slithering vermin, poisonous snakes, betrayal, black magic, backstabbing murder and in medical terms, progressive organ decay accompanied by torturous pain and insanity”. The belief in gu was often fueled by superstitious fears and used by those wishing to hold power over others.

Modern Perspective

From a modern medical and scientific perspective, gu poisoning is largely considered a mythological belief or a misinterpretation of severe, chronic parasitic infections, such as schistosomiasis or entamoeba infections, that had become systemic in a patient. The symptoms aligned with those caused by aggressive helminthic, protozoan, fungal, spirochete, or viral afflictions prevalent in ancient times.”

…………………………..

Are libel and slander crimes in China, Hong Kong, and the United States?

“Yes, libel and slander are crimes in mainland China and Hong Kong, but primarily civil matters in the United States, though some U.S. states have criminal libel laws; China and Hong Kong treat defamation more seriously, with potential imprisonment, especially for offenses impacting public order, unlike the U.S. where it’s generally a civil tort for reputation damage.

Mainland China

Yes, it’s both civil and criminal: Defamation can lead to imprisonment, especially if it seriously disturbs public order, involves large online dissemination, or damages national interests.
Criminal Penalties: Can include significant prison time (up to three years for “serious” cases) and administrative punishments like fines or detention.

Hong Kong

Yes, it’s both civil and criminal: Libel remains a crime under Hong Kong law, though rarely prosecuted criminally compared to civil actions for damages.
Civil Law: Based on English common law, with a focus on reputation damage, and unlike England, Hong Kong hasn’t adopted the “serious harm” threshold.

United States

Primarily Civil: Libel (written) and slander (spoken) are generally torts (civil wrongs) leading to lawsuits for damages, not criminal charges.
Criminal Libel (Rare): A few U.S. states retain criminal libel statutes, but these are rarely used and face significant First Amendment scrutiny, requiring extreme cases to be deemed criminal.”

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 …

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 (see Blogroll … https://awakeningwithplanetearth.com/blogroll-ascension-resources/ ) 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

Definition: An anti-predator behavior where a group of animals cooperates to attack or harass a predator.
Purpose: To drive away the threat to the group or individual members.
Benefit: It increases the survival chances of the individuals by reducing the risk posed by the predator to each individual member of the group.”

. . . . .

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.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!

MORE INFORMATION

Pariah, Narcissist, and Empath. Here are three more topics I have been researching, and which you as a Lightworker may wish to look into, provided the shoe fits.

You can ask Google AI what is a Pariah? And similarly, you can ask what is a Narcissist? What is an Empath?

Lord knows there is a ton of information about these hot topics on youtube right now as well.

Dear Ones,

My nature and hiking videos are not about Game playing. They are not about virtual reality. They are documentary footage.

For instance, if say I had a telepathic or physical experience of animal communication, then there is no ulterior motive or mental manipulative intention there. What I say on the video is actually what I heard, either telepathically or with my physical ears.

So for instance, you may hear that my house and intellectual property are for sale on the Hong Kong market. According to Google AI here is no Hong Kong real estate market for Los Angeles. So you can figure … with a fair probability of certainty … that rumors like this are instances of virtual property acquisition games. [Search Google for: “virtual property acquisition games”.]

Or you might hear of personality assessments based on Amazon Prime viewing, and then you may test these against my real personality in the real world, and you may find that these assessments may are robo blind alley games.

You may find as an offshoot of virtual reality mind distortion that skits and game playing are taking place in the real world around you. These may threaten your life or target your wallet.

You may find films using lookalike actors are being promoted as if they were real depictions of me. From this you may assume, with a high degree of probability, that these are instances of ‘virtual character assassination’. Here is Google AI’s definition …

“Virtual character assassination is the deliberate destruction of a person’s reputation online, often through a coordinated campaign of spreading harmful lies, manipulating facts, or taking information out of context. It uses digital platforms to tarnish an individual’s image, with the goal of causing lasting damage to their personal and professional life.

“Methods and characteristics

Lies and misinformation: Deliberately spreading false information or rumors to create a negative and untrue picture of the person.
Exaggeration and manipulation: Taking real facts and grossly exaggerating them or twisting them to seem harmful or malicious.
Inciting others: Using social media to get others to participate in the attack, either as direct participants or by spreading the negative information further.
Anonymity: Perpetrators often hide behind anonymity to avoid accountability and encourage others to attack without fear of consequence.
Reputational damage: The online record created by these attacks can permanently harm a person’s brand, business, or relationships, as it remains searchable 24/7.
Psychological warfare: The techniques used can be a form of psychological warfare, designed to cause significant emotional and mental distress to the victim.

“Examples

Spreading false accusations: Accusations of sexual deviance, treason, or having a mental illness can be spread online.
Misquoting or misrepresenting actions: Taking someone’s words or actions and twisting them to appear much worse than they were.
“Character assassination” in fiction: This term can also be used in a fictional context to describe a poor and unjustified change in a character’s personality, though this is different from the real-world act of damaging a person’s reputation, notes a YouTube video.”

Dear Ones,

Here are three images that are all part of one long booby-trapped email I received last night …

I am right certain the man named as the sender of the email is not the hacker. He is likely being dissed by the hacker. My apologies to anyone by that name; I feel it is really wrong to slander other people.

If you are the hacker who sent this email and you really believe this psycho stuff, please ask your doctor about medications. I feel it also might be a good idea for you to look into spiritual advice, so as to strengthen your understanding of right action and wrong action in the world today.

This is no way to think about things, especially since Earth is ascending. You just will not fit in with thoughts like this!

If the words in the email are just a prank, and not really the way that you think and believe things to be, then I feel that the prank is right mean. I feel it is intended to hurt me.

New Earth is about everyone getting along together and working for the common good. New Humans on New Earth are clearing through this sort of Soul wounding now. If you try to hurt people, then you will not fit in.

For others: The email is booby-trapped because of this: The email address on ‘from’ is my own email address. But I did not send the email.

It could be that someone hacked my email program and got into it, so that they could send the fake email to me. It is also possible there is spoofware out there that allows them to change the ‘from’ email line on an email to that of the sender.

Either way, this is right bad news. The third time I received such an email, I made the mistake of putting the email on my ‘blocked’ list.

That meant I blocked my own self! Consequently my email address was out of commission. I had to jump through many hoops in order to get my email once more working right.

As you can see by the attached images, I am still getting these booby-trapped psycho emails. I have found that the only way to deal with the issue is this: Never ‘block’ them. Just go through and delete them one by one.

Hope this helps.

. . . . .

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

In love, light and joy

Notice: Moral Rights of Authors . by Alice B. Clagett

Notices

Dear Ones,

I found out there is such a thing as ‘moral rights of authors’ …

Link: “Moral Rights of Authors,” in English Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_rights …

Of particular interest is this assertion: “The preserving of the integrity of the [author’s] work allows the author to object to alteration, distortion, or mutilation of the work that is ‘prejudicial to the author’s honor or reputation’. In other words, it seems that international law offers an author the right to object to derogation of his or her works; this is also called the author’s ‘right of integrity. Here is more …

“Moral rights are set forth in Article 6bis of the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, to which most countries in the world (including the United States) are signatories …

“In the United States, moral rights are also protected, with respect to certain visual artworks, by the Visual Rights Act.” — Link: “Moral Rights,” in Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Moral_rights ..

I put this information on my ‘About’ page under Notices … https://awakeningwithplanetearth.com/about/ ..
