Dear Ones,

THE CONURE

Image: “A Conure Named Matthew,” by Alice B. Clagett, 4 June 2025, standard copyright

I found a sick Conure (a large Parakeet) on my back porch in June, and nursed it back to health. The story is here …

Video: “A Conure Named ‘Matthew’,” by Alice Clagett-Personal, filmed on 4 June 2025 and published on 18 August 2025 … https://youtu.be/aVXsSCbhwMk ..

On the psychic plane, there was an issue about the Conure having been taught to peck people’s eyes out as a prop for sadistic sex play … maybe for snuff porn films.

I didn’t know what to do about it.

I asked Google AI about ‘infestation of a house by a warlock’s spirit by giving the owner the warlock’s pet’.

Google AI said: “Based on folklore, legends, and accounts of alleged supernatural events, a warlock’s spirit might infest a house through the gift of their pet in the following ways:

  1. “Familiar spirit possessing the pet
  • “In European folklore, witches and warlocks were believed to have familiar spirits, often appearing as animals like cats or toads, according to Ancient Origins.
  • “If the warlock’s spirit was tied to their familiar spirit, then gifting the pet would effectively transfer the warlock’s spiritual presence into the recipient’s home.
  • “The familiar could then act as a conduit, allowing the warlock’s spirit to exert influence or manifest within the house.
  1. “Residual spiritual energy attached to the pet
  • “Even without a familiar spirit, the close bond between a warlock and their pet could imbue the animal with the warlock’s spiritual energy.
  • “Upon entering the new home, the pet could introduce this residual energy, potentially manifesting as strange occurrences, feelings of unease, or the appearance of shadows or other phenomena associated with the warlock’s spirit.
  1. “The pet as a cursed object
  • “The pet itself could be a cursed object, imbued with the warlock’s malicious intent or magical energies.
  • “If the warlock had used their pet for dark rituals or activities, the pet might carry a spiritual imprint of those actions, leading to negative or unsettling phenomena in the new home.

“In all scenarios, signs of an infestation might include:

  • “Unusual pet behavior: Growling, staring at empty spaces, or exhibiting fear or aggression not typical for the animal.
  • “Feelings of unease or being watched: A pervasive sense of dread, fear, or a constant feeling of someone being present when alone.
  • “Strange occurrences: Flickering lights, unexplained noises, objects moving on their own, or cold spots.
  • “Negative changes in the atmosphere: People feeling unusually angry, depressed, or anxious in certain areas of the house.

“It’s important to remember that these are based on folklore and belief systems surrounding warlocks and spirits. While not scientifically proven, these concepts form the basis for many horror stories and supernatural tales.”

. . . . .

I also asked Google AI: As a Christian, what should I do if I find a sick Conure that has been trained to peck people’s eyes out?

Google AI said: “As a Christian, you should prioritize the well-being of both the animal and any humans who may be at risk. The core Christian principles of compassion, stewardship over creation, and protecting the vulnerable provide a clear path forward. 

“A step-by-step guide for a Christian response

  1. “Do not handle the bird yourself. A sick bird, especially one with a history of aggression, is a danger to both you and itself. The Conure is sick and stressed, and you risk getting injured or exposed to disease if you try to handle it without proper protection.
  2. “Contact a wildlife rehabilitator or an avian vet. This is the most compassionate and practical step. A professional has the equipment and knowledge to safely handle and treat the bird.
    • “Explain the bird’s condition and the history of its aggressive, eye-pecking behavior.
    • “Do not delay, as sick birds can deteriorate quickly.
  1. “Isolate the bird and secure the area. While waiting for help, keep a safe distance from the Conure. Ensure other people, especially children, and pets are kept away from it. This action protects the vulnerable, a key Christian ethical concern.
  2. “Practice prayer and stewardship. As you await professional help, pray for the bird’s well-being and for wisdom for the rehabilitators. A Christian view of stewardship recognizes that all creation belongs to God and should be treated with kindness, even when fallen or corrupted. This is an opportunity to show mercy to a creature in a difficult state.
    • “Proverbs 12:10 states, “A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal,” a principle that can be applied to caring for all creatures.
    • “The bird’s aggression is a learned behavior and a symptom of its distress, not a mark of its inherent worthlessness.
  1. “Reflect on the root of the problem. Reflect on the cruel actions of whoever trained the bird. This is a moment to recognize human brokenness and the need for redemption, as human sin and cruelty are ultimately the cause of such animal suffering.
  2. “Trust God with the outcome. Place the situation in God’s hands. Regardless of the outcome for the Conure, you will have acted in a manner consistent with your Christian values of compassion, prudence, and ethical responsibility. 

“What not to do

  • “Do not try to “rehabilitate” the bird yourself. You lack the specialized knowledge and equipment to do so safely and effectively.
  • “Do not abandon the bird. Simply leaving the bird puts others at risk of harm and neglects your Christian duty of stewardship.
  • “Do not harm the bird. Intentionally harming the Conure is a cruel act and is counter to the Christian principle of compassion for God’s creation. 

“By following these steps, you can respond to this difficult and unusual situation with compassion, wisdom, and a clear conscience.”

. . . . .

I figured that a wildlife rehabilitator would just kill a bird that had been trained to peck people’s eyes out, so I bought a very big cage for the bird, and treated it with kindness. I named the Conure Matthew.

However, after a month or so I found out it was physically well but still afraid of me … wild and unfriendly … and would hurt me if it could. I also found it liked the notion of hurting me.

I thought I could keep it in the cage (which was quite spacious) and in that way prevent it from hurting me or my cat.

I explained to Matthew that he was there with me for a while, but that if ever he wanted to be free and to fly outside in the wide world, then he should let me know and I would let him know.

On Sunday, 17 August 2025, Matthew became very lively and happy … much more so than ever before … and expressed to me that he wanted to get out of the cage. He wanted to go see the person who he had been with before.

As I had promised, I opened the cage door and the door to the back porch. Quick as a wind, Matthew flew away.

I had the gravest misgivings about what would happen to Matthew. I thought: If it is true that this other person has taught Matthew to peck people’s eyes out, that surely that is a cruel person, who will treat Matthew badly.

I opened the front door. On the psychic plane I saw Matthew fly in delight towards a woman. I felt her heart light up when she saw him.

Then I saw her swat him away. I heard a surprised, quickly aborted ‘squawk’. Then all was silence.

. . . . .

WHAT IS ONE TO SAY ABOUT BEINGS … WHETHER HUMAN OR NONHUMAN … WHO ARE TRAINED TO BE CRUEL?

What is one to say about beings … whether human or nonhuman … who are trained to be cruel in this lifetime?

What if their early experience teaches them that to love someone sexually means to peck out their eyes … or to set boundaries on their hopes and aspirations, or to control their actions rigidly, or to circumvent their every thought with derogation, or to beat them up, or even to murder them either in cold rage or through cruel calculatoin?

What is one to say when another being whom one loves and cares for inflicts or hopes to inflict physical injury day after day (as in the case of Matthew); or psychic injury day after day (as in the case of people who practice black magic)?

In this physical reality … in this third dimension … is there no chance for physical love that is purely and simply an act of love? Are there not human beings who practice loving kindness towards one another?

Why might we Lightworkers, Pathfinders, Wayshowers, Healers, and Ascensioneers not set our sights on those who are kindly, joyful, loving, grateful, appreciative, courageous, forgiving, full of hope in the future … on beings who, like ourselves, cherish positive emotions?

I determined to do just this.

THE FALCON

Then yesterday in late afternoon I went for a swim. Wouldn’t you know it? A Falcon landed on the pavement between the shallow end of the pool and the lemon tree by the porch. It looked like this, but more brownish than grey, and with brown plume-like crural feathers on its legs …

. . . . .

I thought about how Matthew had landed on my porch, and how he had hurt me physically, and how he got a gleam in his eye when I stooped down by his cage to clean up food he had flung on the floor.

I thought what damage Falcons do to their prey, and how quickly … how lightning fast … 200 miles per hour, in fact … they do this.

Video: “Fastest Animal Makes a Kill | World’s Deadliest,” by Nat Geo Animals, 8 April 2013 … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7lglchYNew ..

On the psychic plane I heard a young man say: I have sent her my pet Falcon.

Was this, then, a young Warlock who was sending to me his familiar pet, along with a sadistic, flesh-rending sexual intention? Could this possibly be so?

I felt that Matthew had been sent me by God to help me learn what to do when the Falcon landed there.

The Falcon, head held up high, with his eye on my swimming self, walked away from the lemon tree towards the edge of the pool.

I thought: How might least harm be done in this situation?

I swam towards the shallow end of the pool, gathered some water in my hands, and began to walk towards the Falcon. He gleaned my intention, and began to turn away.

I cast the water in my hands towards the Falcon as he swiftly took wing and flew off over the roof of my house.

Water will not harm, but it will dispel danger. Don’t you feel it to be so?

MORE INFORMATION: MOTHER RAVEN’S LAMENT

Here is a lament I composed about a Falcon that kills a Raven’s mate and bears the body far away …

Link: “A New Song: Mother Raven’s Lament (Moder Hrafns Mon) – Take 2. HD,” channeled by Mother and Father Raven through Alice B. Clagett, filmed on 28 August 2024; Take 2 HD was produced on 2 September 2024 … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-yxN ..

This might help everyone get a better notion about how I felt when the Falcon stalked towards my swimming pool yesterday.

  • FOR THE LIGHTWORKER: ON STAYING SAFE WHILE ATTENDING A CHRISTIAN CHURCH DURING THE CURRENT SOLAR MAXIMUM

Dear Ones,

Here are caveats for Lightworkers so they may stay safe and avoid pitfalls while attending Christian services during a Solar Maximum such are we are experiencing in 2022 and the next few years here on Earth.

TEMPTATION TO USE EX-FELON LABOR TO MURDER WELL-HEELED PEOPLE

I have been reading “Preferential Option for the Poor” in “How to Speak Ignatian: Common words and phrases of the Society of Jesus.” I gather that tenet might be misconstrued in the Homeboy Industries program run by a Society of Jesus father in Los Angeles in this way …

Adherence to the tenet might lead Homeboy Industries subconsciously to consider the possibility of using ex-felon labor to murder well-heeled people on the excuse they have led lives the Society of Jesus deem reprehensible. The subconscious agenda might be that the money of the wealthy might be cozened for use by Homeboy Industries leadership so as to advance the Society of Jesus’ Preferential Option for the Poor. I have encountered this steely-eyed subconscious agenda in the dreamtime realm of the astral plane.

I discern it to be a denser energy misqualified in the current context of Ascension of planet Earth. The Society of Jesus cultivates finely honed minds in their quest for God’s presence in their daily life. I beg them to consider the most appropriate application in daily life of the Preferential Option for the Poor.

TEMPTATION TO SACRIFICE MEMBERS OF THE CONGREGATION FOR THE COMMON GOOD SUBCONSCIOUSLY JUSTIFIED BY CHRIST’S SACRIFICE ON THE CROSS

On the psychic plane I gather, amongst Christian laity and clergy, an oft-adhered-to thought form to do with Christ’s sacrifice of his life on the cross for the good of humankind. I see what, as a Lightworker, I feel to be an adulteration of this teaching that goes like this: We will cast you (the Lightworker) out of this church, and arrange for this or that bad thing to happen to you. We are justified in this by Christ’s example. If he sacrificed himself on the cross for us, then you ought to agree to sacrifice yourself for our wellbeing.

I would like to set down in writing here the following: This thought form is invidious in the extreme. It is a way of exerting ‘power over’ to force another person into a role of selfless service. By adhering to such a thought form a person places himself in the role of the Centurion who oversaw Christ’s crucifixion. Surely this is an undesirable role for a Christian to play.

TENDENCY OF THE CLERGY TO SEXUALLY DEVIANT BEHAVIORS OF DISCIPLINE, SELF-FLAGELLATION, AND SELF-MUTILATION

In like manner, but in an opposite context, I feel that holding high the practice of intentionally making oneself physically miserable through such practices as self-flagellation, mutilation of the male or genital organs, or torture or removal of any part of the physical body … which is known to be the Temple of the Holy Spirit … is contrary to the Will of God. In this context I always remember the words of Christ at Gethsemane: “Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.” –Mark 13:46 (KJV)

As a LIghtworker, I agree with Christ on this. Christ would, I feel, not intentionally have inflicted injury on his physical body. Nor would He have intentionally allowed anyone else to do so. Rather, He would, I feel in my heart, have done His best to preserve and uplift his physical body, and to keep his Spirit and that of His disciples far from evil inclination. Though He might feel that the law of His religion and of his religious elders amongst the Jews was wrong in injuring his person, yet he might, throughout His life, align with the Will, the Heart, and the Mind of God.

A MORE PSYCHOLOGICALLY HEALTHY INTERPRETATION OF WORTH OF CHRIST’S CRUCIFIXION AND DEATH

Evil befell Christ through Judas Iscariot. Christianity looks upon Christ’s crucifixion on Mount Calvary as a great blessing to humankind. Was that because of what Judas Iscariot did? Was it because of the condemnation of the Jewish elders, who acted, I feel, out of desire to maintain their own social standing? Or was it because, no matter what, Christ stood by God’s Will as being His own salvation?

History does not hold in high esteem the name Judas Iscariot. History does not even record the name of those Jewish elders. Yet it holds high Christ’s unshakable faith in God’s Will.

The stance of Christianity that Christ’s suffering on the cross was what caused the salvation of all Christians is, I feel somewhat adulterated with misqualified, denser energies. It was, I feel, not his physical suffering that caused the upliftment of humankind. Rather it was his understanding that faith in God’s Will is the greatest good that can befall a human being.

Adherence to God’s Will may cause what seems like suffering; yet in the end, each of us passes on. Each of us suffers in that way. And after that, what befalls us? How may we experience the most joy after passing on? By continuing in our faith in the Will of God, which stands like a beacon before the Soul even when the physical body no longer may act as an instrument of the Soul’s self-understanding.

Thus it seems to me that the great glory of the Crucifixion was Christ’s greater understanding of right action in right understanding in dimensions higher than the third dimension, the mere physical realm. He did his best to preserve his physical body, and so, I feel, ought each of us Christians. Yet when that instinct of self-preservation was, in his optimal timeline and dimension in the causal realm (the third and fourth dimensions) of no avail, then faith in God saw Him through to dimensions fifth (the Heavenworlds) and higher. His faith overlit the path to the higher dimensions for the many who follow his example.

FOR LIGHTWORKERS: ON BALANCING SELFLESS SERVICE WITH OUR PERSONAL HEALING

In a Lightworker context, in everyday life, the moral obligation of a human being is to balance the outgoing energy of selfless service with the incoming energy of personal healing, or ‘service to self’; for without being well and healthy ourselves … without having enough money to get by … without being happy and feeling joy in our lives … how can we hope to offer health and prosperity, happiness and joy, to other people in the world? I hold that to be strongly true: That I must first look to my physical welfare, and from that standing point, I may radiate Light and love and joy to all other human beings.

TEMPTATION TO SHUNNING AS THE DARK EXPRESSION OF A FERAL DRIVE

In terms of the lesser Light, the darker understandings of our animal ancestry, I gather from the psychic plane that there are historical forms of ‘shunning’ used by Judaism and by Early Christianity as a form of curse … which in my LIghtworker work I consider to be witchcraft. One of these, which I ran across in recent years on the psychic plane, is ‘Anathema’.

According to Wikipedia, “Anathema, in common usage, is something that or someone who is detested or shunned. In its other main usage, it is a formal excommunication …. The latter meaning, its ecclesiastical sense, is based on New Testament usage. In the Old Testament, anathema was a creature or object set apart for sacrificial offering and thus removed from ordinary use and destined instead for destruction.”  –from Link: “Anathema,” in English Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anathema … CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported

Shunning is a feral drive or pack instinct stemming from the subconscious mind, which is molded by the animal past of humankind. From the psychic plane … but not online … I gather the Christian church has other methods of shunning, such as ‘Excoriation’ (which was disapproved of by Pope Francis) … and one other ritual, that I was too shocked, while experiencing the channeling, to write down its name, and have now forgotten it.

THE SIN OF SIMONY: TEMPTATION TO MUCKRAKING AND TO RITUALS OF ANATHEMA, EXCORIATION AND ACCEPTANCE OF FAKE ‘WRITS’ OF EXCOMMUNICATION TO FATTEN THE COFFERS OF A CHRISTIAN CHURCH

I do recall with some vividness of emotional affect, an astral story about a muckraking effort to cast me as a sex worker and drug addict, through a ritual of Excoriation on the psychic plane. In the dreamtime realm, this manifested as a gathering of the Society of Jesus … or perhaps actor impersonators playing such a role … flogging in concert and uttering these untruths regarding my life and character.

In a variation on this astral story, acting out of the ritual texts of ‘Anathema’ and ‘Excoriation’ came across as a diatribe spoken with solemn authority by a group of members of the Society of Jesus so as to cause the Soul to whom they referred to be damned to Hell. As is often the case on the psychic plane, the words of the curse of Anathema came across as if the Society of Jesus were applying the curse to me personally.

Another astral story I encountered had to do with acceptance with less than due diligence of a fake ‘writ’ of excommunication as proof of my reprehensible behavior as a member of a congregation. In the dreamtime realm this was ‘writ’ was conveyed to a pastor by a person of my acquaintance who was angry with me and wanted to fleece me by bribing a pastor … who might agree to such a maneuver on the explanation the bribe would benefit the church building whose upkeep was his concern.

In the unlikely event that these sorts of astral stories were true, then they would have the double impact of scandalmongering with regard to the Christian clergy, and mudslinging with regard to my own character. It was pretty grim stuff that spun out, in the dreamtime realm, through the collective subconscious of the noosphere.

FOR THE LIGHTWORKER: ON STAYING SAFE WHILE ATTENDING A CHRISTIAN CHURCH DURING THE CURRENT SOLAR MAXIMUM

I have found from other instances that to feel personal about energy threads clairly perceived on the psychic plane is a misqualified approach to Lightworkers’ efforts to help anchor to planet Earth the Incoming Light of Earth’s Ascension. Of course, I agree, it is very unlikely that what I heard on the astral plane applies to me personally.

Nevertheless, it was off-putting enough for me to come to this conclusion regarding a good mode of action for Lightworkers in the current times: I suggest that groups of all sorts, including organized religion and government, are being purified and remolded as the Incoming Light buffets and upwardly energizes Earth in attunement with the higher frequencies of energy now available to all Earth beings.

I feel that, in the minds of pastors of churches throughout Los Angeles, as might be expected, because of the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath, the specter of social unrest, and fluctuations in the worlds of finance, economics, and economic trade, there may be issues of concern for the clergy’s personal safety and of clerical abuse of well-heeled members of the congregations to mitigate the clergy’s personal fears.

For the time being, I feel it would be safest, when attending group meetings of all sorts, for us Lightworkers to give no money at all as donations, or only to offer a dollar bill, so as not to be singled out as an object of greed that might assuage the clergy’s fears for their personal safety and for not losing their church grounds in the general upheaval that is going on.

Especially, I feel it important not to offer donations to any non-profit institution in the form of a check, as when non-profits are hard up for finances, they will call our banks as if they were merchants or employers, and try to pinpoint donors with plenty of money in the bank. I would say, be very careful not to keep large amounts of money in a bank account accessible through checking, as this clearly might trigger acting out of the people in charge of the non-profits because of their greed and their concern for their personal safety, as well as the enduring safety of their non-profit organizations.

For those of the LIghtworkers who inadvertently pull in the curse of Anathema, I would be hard-pressed to express the extent to which I feel it inadvisable to approach the issue of witchcraft and black magic within the major religions through action in the real world. Instead, we must dissolve within ourselves any strands of energy … no matter how small … that allow this energy to manifest in our energy bodies, using our usual Lightworker techniques. Were the circumstances of human institutions during the Ascension process to prevent our participation in groups, we might always view a church service online, say our prayers at home, and walk lovingly upon the Earth throughout our days.

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!

. . . . .

Dear Ones,

This is a call to action regarding the religious practice of mortification of the flesh, including self-flagellation, that some Christian denominations retain as a historical tradition. In noospheric tenor, these practices tie into the denser energy streams of sadomasochistic sexual practices and snuff sex that have, of late, ransacked the noosphere of Los Angeles, especially on the weekends.

Aside from the link-in with historic practices of fleshly mortification why is it that this relatively rare nuance of sexual behavior is such a standout in the Los Angeles noosphere of late? For more, I turned to this publication …

Link: “The Psychology of Sadomasochism: An Attempt to Explain Sadism and Masochism,” by Neil Burton, M.D., posted 17 August 2014, in Psychology Today … https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/hide-and-seek/201408/the-psychology-sadomasochism ..

From that I learned that many seemingly innocuous forms of behavior, such as tickling, infantilizing, and love-biting … and perhaps, I would add, taunting and bullying, as are oft found online these days … play into the darker, denser energy streams of the relatively recherché world of sadomasochism. Thus we are all, willy-nilly, for the most part unwittingly, involved in the clearing of these dense energy strands from the Los Angeles noosphere at present.

My appeal today is to those who are consciously able to choose whether they will add to these denser noospheric energies of sadomasochism. I make this appeal because, as an intuitive person, I find these energies very difficult to bear, especially on the weekends in Los Angeles, and most particularly so during times of solar storm … even geostorms as mild as that which we experienced last night …

In order to keep our personal Body of Light (aura, or energy field) pure and bright, I feel it is important to avoid injury to the body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit itself, in my sense of it, is injured by mortification of the flesh.

LET THERE BE NO RETURN TO THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR OF OLD

It is the work of a Christian to discover the Grace of God within, or so I believe. What can be farther from that goal than the undercurrents that apparently evolved, over the centuries, in organizations such as the historic Knights Templar? Having read this no-holds barred account of that evolution …

… as well as this more tempered account …

Link: “Knights Templar,” in Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_TemplarMore tempered.

… I have some concerns about the renaissance of the Knights Templar tradition by newly formed groups here in Los Angeles and elsewhere in the United States.

How is it that, in ages gone by, sincere members of devout religious orders have fallen prey to emanations of self-hatred and hatred of others through organizations founded for the best of reasons?

The answer, I feel, lies in the slight affinity aroused in the body to hatred of others through the practice of self-mortification …

Link: “Flagellation: Religious Practice,” written by Geoffrey Abbott, in Encyclopaedia Britannica … https://www.britannica.com/topic/flagellation ..

Through this ‘toehold’ of hatred of the body, flows forth into the noosphere hatred in all its forms: Hatred of women, abuse of children, envy at the sexual prowess of other men; hatred of this teaching or that of one’s own church, or of those of other Christian denominations; and finally, hatred even of the Light of God within, and turning to the abomination of Satanic ritual.

In the mid-13th Century, processions of self-flagellants took place in central Italy with intent to mitigate a devastating plague. In current times we face another such plague, the scourge of HIV / AIDS, which leaves those of our children who are so infected unable to produce viable offspring.

In our nation’s capital, Washington D.C., according to Centers for Disease Control statistics published in 2016, the lifetime risk of contracting HIV was 1 in 13 people …

Link: “2016 HIV Lifetime Risk Statistics from Centers for Disease Control,” by Alice B. Clagett, published on 30 March 2019 … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-c3f ..

Since 2016, no state-by-state statistics have been published. Yet the epidemic, I feel, is cresting in the congested urban areas of the United States, or will soon do so.

Until statistics are caught up, we cannot definitively know where we stand with regard to the HIV / AIDS pandemic. Meanwhile, shall we once more fall to the practice of publicly mistreating our bodies … whether in our streets, or on the silver screen?

ON PERFECTING WORKS OF CORPOREAL MERCY

The answer to the social stresses now testing the tensile strength of our democratic way of life lies not in hatred, not in acts of terrorism whether ultra right or ultra left, not in pogroms, not in vigilante justice, not in wanton waste of life, but in a learned and temperately discerning approach to the problems at hand.

Let us pay utmost respect to our bodies, the abiding temples of God’s loving kindness to us. It is this, the virtue of Christian charity … to ourselves as well as to others … that holds the answer to action in the world during this, the cusp of the HIV / AIDS pandemic.

In the Book of Matthew, Christ says …

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” –Matthew 6:16 (KJV, public domain)

I am put in mind of the biography of pastor Martin Rinkart, whose example I find  inspiring in these times of worldwide hardship …

The Heroic Works of Charity of German Pastor Martin Rinkart During the Great Pestilence

. . . . .

Martin Rinkart (23 April 1586, Eilenburg – 8 December 1649) was a pastor who ministered to his flock in Eilenburg, a walled German town, during the Thirty Years’ War, 1618-1648.

In 1637, when the town was already worn down by war, the Great Pestilence took place. At that time the town of Eilenburg had four ministers. People from the surrounding area who were suffering from epidemic and famine sought refuge in Pastor Rinkart’s town.

As the plague-ridden entered the town, the townspeople became infected. One of the town’s ministers, no doubt overcome by a sense of impending doom, fled to healthier climes. The two other ministers stood by Pastor Rinkart, who saw them buried.

In the end, Pastor Rinkart was the only pastor left in Eilenburg. He conducted services for over 4,000 people, sometimes as many as 40 or 50 a day. In May of 1637 his wife died, which must have been a grievous personal blow to him. By the end of that year, the dead were being buried in trenches, and there were no services for them.

Under the most harrowing of personal circumstances, Martin Rinkart composed this uplifting hymn of gratitude for God’s myriad acts of loving kindness, a hymn that is often sung even today …

The examples of the many great saints of our Christian faith are like a beacon lighting our way in these difficult times. Like them, let us maintain hope in the face of the trials that stand before us. Let the heartbreak of many in our community lift us to faith in God’s sweet intention towards our Souls. Insofar as we may, let us speak to the pure Spirit within, so that we may find the courage to face calamity with equanimity, and the fortitude steadfastly to practice the Christian corporal works of mercy.

Let us feed the hungry, give water to the thirsty, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, visit the sick, visit the imprisoned, ransom those held captive. and bury the dead.

There is a passage in Matthew 25 that speaks most poignantly to this time of Ascension on Earth. This passage brilliantly limns the manner in which we may choose to address the momentous days that lie before us, through works of mercy practiced in loving remembrance of Christ …

Matthew 25:31-46 (KJV, public domain)

31 “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

32 “And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

33 “And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

34 “Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 “For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 “Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 “Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38 “When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 “Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 “And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

41 “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

42 “For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

43 “I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

44 “Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45 “Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

46 “And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.”

Surely none has spoken, nor likely ever will speak, more eloquently or to the point, than Christ himself has done. This passage sets us on a sure path through faith in Him, even in the face of  the most devastating hailstorm of temporal sorrow.

CONCLUSION

In these days of woe, shall we stand with Christ and act on his behalf? In truth, what we may do for the disempowered, the disadvantaged, and the disenfranchised people of Los Angeles, is what we may be privileged to do for Christ Himself in this lifetime.

It is the Body of Christ Himself to whom we minister. It is He whom we feed, whom we clothe, for whom we provide potable water, for whom we find lodging, whom we help to find a sure path after release from prison, and whom we seek to ransom from malefic entities … whether human or clothed in mists beyond our ken … who hold them prisoner.

Call to Action: Psychic Crime and Self-Mortification by Spiritual Adepts . by Alice B. Clagett

Call to Action

  • SUMMARY OF SOUNDTRACK

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

SOUNDTRACK

 

SUMMARY OF SOUNDTRACK

I have a Call to Action. I heard this on the psychic plane. While extremely unlikely, it is problematic if, in fact, it could be true. I heard that there are a few people who went to see that Indian Festival movie some years ago. It may have been a movie made at the Mahakumbh Mela at Allahabad in 2001. I heard the people saw at the movie an Indian Sadhu, or wonder worker, who was tying his penis in a knot, as a way of expressing his asceticism. On the psychic plane, I heard that these movie viewers decided to try that out, and that they have been employing this abominable technique ever since, for the purpose of increasing their psychic powers … specifically, so that they can send their astral forms out of body to obsess or possess someone else, so as to coerce them into doing the evil deeds for which they themselves would not wish to be responsible.

If this is true, the clear explanation for it would be that the astral form of a person who is voluntarily torturing themself in this way would, no doubt, rather fly into someone else’s physical presence, than be present in their own body and subjected to the physical pain of that kind of torture.

I would like to request that law enforcement, if it runs across people who are doing the practice, take into consideration the ramifications in terms of criminal activity. It is time we took into account the issue of psychic crime.

As far as the people who, putatively, are practicing this technique are concerned, my consideration would be that prolonged infliction of pain in this manner would make it eventually impossible for the penis to perform the functions it is intended to perform. It might lead to urogenital problems; it might lead to erectile dysfunction, and so forth.

I ask you, if it is worth it to you, to risk these outcomes simply for financial gain, and that in a criminal manner.

I have a hunch, too that this practice may lead to child molestation or worse; that is an issue I hope psychology / psychiatry will look into. I offer as a putative mechanism repression of the sex drive, perhaps to do with sexually restrictive … possibly or religiously rigid early childhood learning experiences. In other words, when the knot is untied, and the sex act attempted, then memories of childhood nay saying may flood in, leading the spiritual adept to choose, as a sexual partner, a child.

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