THE HUMAN HEART, ALIGNED WITH THAT OF GOD, UNVEILS GREAT MYSTERIES
Dear Ones,
I found a note in my hand in my well-worn copy of the book “How to Know God: The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali” and was inspired to write this message for my star kindred here on Earth. The occasion is New Years Day 2020 …
THE HUMAN HEART, ALIGNED WITH THAT OF GOD, UNVEILS GREAT MYSTERIES
It is the error of men to try to control the world … and the error of women to try to save it. In truth, there is no world beyond our sphere of influence … no world beyond us, against which we struggle in vain. Our realm of endeavor … our purpose of attaining human form … lies right within us.
May I master my wayward mind through contemplation of my heart, as Patanjali advises …
Citation: “How to Know God: The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali,” translated with a commentary by Swami Prabhavananda and Christopher Isherwood, copyright 1953, 1981 by The Vedanta Society of Southern California … See page 187; the chapter “III. Powers,” number 35, which states (to paraphrase) that it is through contemplation of the heart that we master our own minds.
May I learn to control, not the world … not the ways of power, nor the ephemeral billboard of worldly fame, nor the intricate Dark web of political intrigue … but rather to control myself. May seek to I save myself, through God’s grace.
May I humbly seek to align my heart with the Great Heart of God which, beating and pulsing through the pathways between the stars … those byways of the Angel Realm … informs and enlivens all beings everywhere … from the tiniest cosmic ray to the greatest star; from the humblest mineral form to the most sentient of beings; and in our earthly realm, from the poorest and most desperate of humankind to the popes and presidents of countries and of international conglomerates.
Who knows but what the well tuned heart might sing the song of God’s mighty Universe; and, taking Archangel Michael by the hand, traverse with him the farthest reaches of His great creation! So may each of us, I pray, walk with utmost reverence the great interstellar paths, and come to know, in the truest sense, that we humankind are children of the stars.
VOICES IN THE AIR WITH INCONTROVERTIBLE CREDENTIALS
ON REFUSING TO LISTEN TO LOUSY ASTRAL ADVICE
Dear Ones,
THE HIEROS GAMAS SYSTEM
I recall several years ago I was confronted with an awesomely Soul-destroying mental filter, which welled up from my subconscious mind … what you might call malware or ‘Borg’-ware … More on all that in the Ascension Glossary online …
The thing that came up was a notion that, if I opened my heart up, there would be a big explosion, and everyone I loved would be blown to smithereens. I have no idea why it happened, but when it arose from my subsconscious mind, I was utterly convinced of it.
A very deep despair came upon me, and I thought …
Why stay alive? What’s the point, if by opening up my heart, I will destroy everyone I love?
It was one of those moments they term the “Dark Night of the Soul.” I asked people for help, and fortunately, help was there, in the form of making sure I was safe and sound until this horrible, nightmare mental filter lifted off and floated away.
THE HUMAN SACRIFICE MENTAL FILTER
Just today I heard, on the psychic plane, someone talking about a similar Soul-destroying mental filter, of which they had become utterly convinced. Here’s what their malware was about:
They had become utterly convinced that, unless they were to sacrifice their life within a month, everyone they loved would suffer for it, and be consumed by the demon realm.
Go figure! Like the demon realm will stop tormenting humankind, simply because one person gives up his life in despair!
Au contraire! This would be a win for the demon realm, and they would consolidate their claw-holds in the bodies of Light of that person’s friends and family.
In fact, I peg this malware to the distortion of Light in the Christian creed that has Christ dying on the cross to save humankind. Not! Christ’s death on the cross was a big mistake. That’s how I feel about it!
VOICES IN THE AIR WITH INCONTROVERTIBLE CREDENTIALS
Keeping in mind: If you hear voices in the air, and they are filling you with despair, then de rigeur, they are voices from the demon realm. They are pretty good at fake IDs, and particularly good at pretending to be human beings with awesome, incontrovertible authority.
Such as …
the IRS,
the CIA,
the FBI,
Homeland Security,
or the Secret Service.
That is just for starters. They may sound like …
your mom or dad,
or your guru,
or your most respected spiritual teacher,
or your boss at work,
or your spouse,
or even God himself.
But if these voices fill your heart with despair, they are, without any doubt, not what they purport to be.
These voices have no authority over you. They are simply the mind control bedevilments of the demon hordes … what is called, in the “The Law of One: The Ra Material” the “Orion Crusaders” …
So, if you want to help your friends and family, then I say …
Live on! Live on and prosper, in joy, and hope, and faith in the future of humankind!
You can do it! Don’t let one or two lousy demons get you down!
They have very bad breath, you know. And they do not shine their shoes all that well.
Let them know how you really feel about their coiffure and their habiliments.
Do not mince your words!
As well, ask for help from the people around you.
Then later on, when they are in the same boat, you can help your friends out.
In love, light and joy,
I Am of the Stars

On Finding a Balance Between Service to Self and Service to Others
Here’s a video on three different kinds of malware, to do with suicide and murder. A Summary follows the video …
VIDEO BY ALICE
SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.
I’m here to talk just a moment about …
the ‘I’m killing myself for my own sake’ malware,
the ‘I’m killing you for your own sake’ malware,
and the ‘I’m killing myself for your own sake’ malware.
So there are three separate things.
I’m Killing Myself for My Own Sake
First: I’m killing myself for my own sake. This happens when we’re addicted to something that’s potentially eventually lethal … such as alcoholism, or recreational drug use, or eating too much chocolate … Things like that.
The work is with the subconscious mind … with the gut brain and so forth. What it’s thinking is, that if I do this habit, then I’ll feel better. I’ll be happy.
And the eventual result is poor health and death.
So it becomes established … like a precept in the subconscious mind … that I’m killing myself so that I’ll feel better. That’s the first one.
I’ll Kill You So that You’ll Feel Better
The second one is: “I’ll kill you so that you’ll feel better.”
It’s an easy step for people who have a deadly habit as an addiction, to move to that scenario with regard to their treatment of other people.
They already have the assumption that “I’m killing myself for my own sake.” And they just move into the second precept … sometimes in a maternal or paternal way, or in a brotherly or sisterly way … They move into this notion that they’ll do something for someone else that will kill them … and that that will be good for them.
When in fact, the subagenda, in the subconscious mind, is that they are killing that person because it’s good for them personally.
But that’s an unacceptable conclusion, because the conscious agenda is that they are doing something that will kill somebody … maybe even hiring a killer … or hiring a bunch of people to end that person’s life … or doing it themselves …
Whatever the mode of killing is, the notion behind it is that they are doing it for that person’s own good, and the reason for that mistaken notion, is the original, ‘deadly habit’ malware. [laughs lightheartedly]
I’m Killing Myself for Your Own Sake
So, there’s one other thing right now, and that has to do with ‘I’m killing myself for your own good’.
This is the martyr complex that they talk about in psychology and psychiatry. And it happens a lot in instances of co-dependency. In instances where one person has a deadly habit, and then somebody else loves them, and supports them, and tries to lift them up and make them feel good, and has sympathy for them, despite the fact that they have this deadly habit.
And this co-dependent behavior that the second person has, is intended for their own good, and is injurious to the physical and emotional and mental health of the co-dependent individual.
On Finding a Balance Between Service to Self and Service to Others
It’s also true, in the Christian tradition, that people who are spiritual have a tendency to overdo ‘service to others’. That happens, too, in the meditation ashrams around … that might be Hindu or whatever.
People fall ‘head over heels’ into the tradition of selfless service. And they fail to take into consideration their own needs and wants, and the joy of spirit that they need, in order to perform selfless service in a way that’s truly of benefit to humankind.
So, in the psychological texts, they say:
To look to the benefit of other people, but also to our own benefit.
To look to the joy of humankind, but also to the joy of our own Soul.
To balance those two needs: The needs of others, and the needs of ourselves, in order to live a fruitful, happy, and well-balanced life.
In love, light and joy,
I Am of the Stars

Here is a video tying together many of the topics I have been discussing: sadomasochism, dominance/submission, pack ordering (rank ordering) of feral packs, alpha ordering of feral packs, antisocial behavior, and self-sacrifice.
There is an edited Summary after the video …
VIDEO BY ALICE
SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.
Tying Things Together
So, tying some things together …
S&M, sadomasochism, is an aspect of dominance/submission.
Dominance/submission has to do with pack ordering, a feral drive to rank order wild packs of animals, so that everybody knows the pecking order,
and nomination of an alpha member of the pack, both male and female, is another aspect of the feral drive called pack ordering (or rank ordering)
Antisocial Behavior versus Self-Sacrifice
I have been talking quite a bit about strands in the noosphere of all these different sorts of energies, all of which are related, it seems. And I have also been talking about antisocial personalities, and how prevalent they are in the world, and how they have a distortion of the heart chakra that causes them to bring energy into their hearts, from other people, and not to send energy back out again to other people.
The people that go for this, that fall for the verbal and emotional manipulation of antisocial personalities, have an inverse distortion of their own heart chakra energy, that leads them to the energy of self-sacrifice.
Self-sacrifice is one of the features, one of the etheric double (that is, etheric body) crenelations or distortions of the light that are strands of energy in some of the major religions, especially insofar as I know, Judaism and Christianity … There is this tendency to self-sacrifice. And aside from religions, this energy is free-floating, and available in the noosphere for those that aren’t subscribing to those religions.
Women have a tendency, more than men, to be self-sacrificing, and to forget about their own welfare; to forget the fact that, unless they can follow their own heart, and feel their own joy, then they are not going to be able to offer that joy, in the education of children, for instance, and in the upliftment of their communities and their husbands.
So, it is like an inverse failing: There is a feeling of competitive drive that leads men to do that ‘F— you in the a——‘ thing (and women to do that, in certain circumstances … such as in competition over men) … and there is the inverse quality of sacrificing oneself too much.
And both of these … antisocial behavior and self-sacrifice … are aspects of the feral drive I was just mentioning; the pack ordering, or rank ordering, drive.
The New Reality: No Pack Ordering
Just taking it one step further: In the New Reality, there is not going to be pack ordering. This will be a thing of the animal past. So, I look to the future; to what is going to be happening in the future. Who knows what! We are going to be co-creating these realities in our many timelines.
In love, light and joy,
I Am of the Stars

Alms, Penance, Forgiveness and the Christian Church

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
Selfless Service: Joy or a Sense of Duty?
The All and Free Will
Alms, Penance, Forgiveness and the Christian Church
Photos by Alice
Dear Ones,
This video is about selfless service, the notion that suffering can be good, and the notion that a child might merit corporeal punishment ‘for his own good’; that ‘he deserves it’. There is also a discussion of alms-giving and the Christian church.
Here is a Précis of the video; beneath that is the video and the transcription of the video, which is a bit more ‘blousy’ than the Précis.
PRECIS OF THE VIDEO
Selfless Service: Joy or a Sense of Duty?
A spiritual institution that does not allow its members free will with regard to selfless service detracts from their electromagnetic fields and strips them of their power. Such an institution readily turns to hypnosis for the sake of one person who is in charge of the institution, and aggregation of power by him through abrogation of the free will of the members ‘for their own good’.
To the leader of such a spiritual institution, it seems like a wonderful thing, as he becomes very powerful, very macho, very top ego, top dog … it’s the most terrific thing … but for everybody else in the group, it’s pain and suffering and hellworlds and being used.
The All and Free Will
As the Awakening continues, more and more people will come to value the principles of the All and Free Will upon which our planet is based, and so the institutions of today will turn into the institutions of tomorrow that value the All and Free Will … the prayer that all beings everywhere may be happy, may have enough to eat, may exist in joy, and have free will.
My conclusion regarding selfless service is that it will not help a spiritual institution unless it comes from the joy of the heart, rather than simply from a sense of duty. Let us purify and cleanse the notion of selfless service for humankind.
Alms, Penance, Forgiveness and the Christian Church
People come to spiritual counselors with regrets about their lives, feelings of guilt about some of their actions, feelings of despondency and despair. Their Spirit sorrows.
In the old days, in Europe, when wealthy people were near death, they would give alms to the Christian church as penance for their earthly deeds. The Christian church was in a difficult position regarding this, as they wished to grow their church, to obtain more lands and spread their teachings, and these alms from the rich would help that end.
And so, despite their misgivings, the clerics of those olden days agreed to the practice of giving alms for penance. The difficulty being that wealthy persons of that era might seize on the practice of giving alms … at the very last minute … at death’s door, as it were … after having lived a life quite in contrast to the church’s teachings. This was, in effect, a minor bow to the philosophy of Consequentialism; the end was a good one, but the means were somewhat iffy. For instance, was the practice of giving alms at death’s door really helpful to the Soul? For quite some century, this question provided food for thought.
Then as the Christian church evolved, the Souls of the Christian people became more clear, and an edict was passed that dispensed with alms-giving as penance. The notions that penitence, asking Christ for forgiveness, and being determined to live a better life through Christ were more important than alms-giving, that the heart was more important than the pocketbook, became the rule that the now many Christian churches still adhere to today. Although, quite naturally, there is still a need for financial donations, as with all earthly institutions.

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
Hello, Dear Ones. It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.
I thought I would mention a little bit more the philosophy that punishment should be meted out because it is good for a person, especially a child, ‘because they deserve it’ … which sometimes happens when parents are angry … They will say something like: You deserved it! … And then the child gets ‘corporeal punishment’, as it is called.
Or the parent may come home after a day at work, and exercise ‘corporeal punishment’ and say: It’s for your own good! … like that. This philosophy that punishment is good for us carries over from childhood learning and childhood trauma into adulthood.
Selfless Service: Joy or a Sense of Duty?
There are even institutional instances that espouse as dogma this Soul wounding notion that ‘It’s for your own good’. When this happens … when there is an institution that subscribes to this notion, the result is the pursuit of punishment as a good thing … as an end in itself … the pursuit of suffering.
This happens most prominently in spiritual institutions that feel selfless service is good for the Soul. Now in many instances a spiritual institution could not survive without the notion of selfless service. And so the people give of themselves so as to enjoy the benefits of the group … to help the group thrive and grow. But the problem is that these notions that suffering is good for us, and that we deserve suffering, and that it is for our own good, also enter into the notion of selfless service.
I remember years ago I belonged to an ashram. It was many years ago. And they had a notion about selfless service. But the problem was that it would get out of hand, and that I would find myself spending every spare minute doing selfless service. And I would not be able to get done the things that I loved to do as well … such as playing kirtan and so forth … because all the time I was doing selfless service, which was defined by the head of the ashram as certain things that might (or might not) be things that I enjoyed doing.
As I have gotten older, I have come to an understanding about selfless service, that it will not help an institution unless it comes from the joy of the heart. And so, when I step over that boundary from doing things for the joy of it, for the sake of the world, for the sake of humankind … into the territory of ‘Suffer, because it’s for your own good!’ I suddenly reversed the whole energy of selfless service. And suddenly, nothing that I do serves the world and helps the world. Instead of adding to the great, positive energy of the world, it adds to the negative energies, the obverse side of the Duality play.
I will not go into the entities in the astral realm that are involved; I am sure you know that story. So may I suggest that we purify and cleanse this notion of selfless service, which all the Lightworkers wish to do … selfless service for humankind. If you are involved in a group or a spiritual institution: Selfless service for that institution … but only if it does not hurt. Only if we love every minute of it.
We can choose. We have that power of choice. And when we do not choose, then we have an institution that takes away the power of free will of all its people, and detracts from their electromagnetic fields.
That kind of institution very readily turns to self-hypnosis for the sake of one person who is in charge of it. The power is stripped from the individual, and all the individuals in the group, and sent instead to one leader of the group, who then prescribes selfless service that becomes suffering because of our lack of free will. That is something definitely to be avoided.
To the leader himself, it seems like a wonderful thing, because he becomes very powerful, very macho, very ‘top dog’, right? It is the most terrific thing; but for everybody else in the group, it is pain and suffering and hellworlds and being ‘used’. That is a terrible thought, is it not?
The All and Free Will
As the Ascension proceeds; as the Awakening includes more and more people, more and more people will come to value these notions of the All and free will upon which our planet is based. And so the institutions of today will turn into the institutions of tomorrow that value the All and free will.
All beings everywhere … may they all be happy! May they all have enough to eat! May they all exist in joy! May that be so for all beings everywhere! And may they all have free will! May they all act according to their free will!
More and more these will be the hallmarks of the great human institutions of new life on New Earth.
Alms, Penance, Forgiveness and the Christian Church
I have just a little more to say about the type of selfless service … People come to spiritual counselors at big institutions and they say: Oh my! I am guilty of so many things! I have concerns about so many things in my life that I wish I had done in a different way! … Like that, you know? And: Oh my gosh! I treated my children in this-and-such a way from time to time, and now they don’t love me! … and … What can I do? I feel very bad. I feel worthless. I feel despondent. I am in great despair. I am in great pain. My Spirit sorrows.
In the old days … in medieval times … this used to happen near death, There was one great Christian church then in Europe. And they had a setup for the wealthy there. It was important to the churches to obtain more and more lands, and to obtain more and more money, and to grow the church … the Christian church … the great Christian church of those eras. So the rich would come; and this was interesting prospect because of the goal of growing the church, that the rich should come, at the end of their lives … having lived perhaps exactly as they wished to live, in a state of pursuit of pleasure all their lives, no matter what the cost … that kind of thing.
Then they would come, at the end of their lives, when their health was failing, they would say: What shall I do? How can I save my Soul? … Right? … It is time to worry about that. This is typical of life in the world, actually. But back then they used to have a solution; they would say that their clerics would pray for a certain person if a certain amount of alms would be donated to the church. And the wealthy would go right for it. They were used to somebody else doing their job for them. All that would be taken care of, and their Souls would be saved.
This was the practice of giving alms in exchange for heavenly removal of guilt, and so forth. Then came a time when a popular sentiment that arose, that this practice was no longer appropriate.It seems to me that, as the spirits of the people evolved, as their Souls became more pure, they came to an understanding that the giving of alms for the sake of receiving penance was a misuse of the power of the church for the sake of worldly gain … for the sake of worldly power. And there was a change in the rules of the church so that was not allowed that to happen anymore.
There was an upgrade in the understanding of everybody in the Christian church. It was a big deal at the time … a very big deal … to move from power-based feeling, up to the feeling of the heart … and to let the heart rule … and to stand in the notion that asking forgiveness of Christ would remove our sins … that that was what we had to do: Not give alms, but ask for forgiveness from Christ; and in that manner to begin to walk with Christ, and to feel the Christ consciousness. We are capable, as human beings, to begin to receive that grace from God.
I have mentioned this because the giving of alms is another misconstruction of the notion of selfless service. This is my feeling: I think when people come to any institution with a heavy heart, and a notion that their sins must be absolved, that the thing to do is to explain to them that when they need to seek forgiveness. They need to give themselves a chance to be forgiven; to know that God’s grace waits for them … the grace of Christ, if they are Christians; the grace of the Buddha, if they are Buddhists, and so on.
What this does is it changes the heart energy from negative to positive. It changes the energy so that … instead of working towards a goal, say, of eventually being forgiven by doing a certain number of hours work every day, or by giving a certain amount of money … that instead they know that God’s grace is everywhere, and that forgiveness is instantaneous, and that all they need to do is ask.
I feel this very strongly: That it is a distortion of the Light to ask for alms in terms of work hours or money in exchange for forgiveness.
In love, light and joy,
