Dear Ones,

Here is a video with thoughts about teaching reading to children who have autism or learning disabilities. I later thought, most likely all this has already been thought of by educators. Just in case it might be helpful, I later thought, I offer it here. It has to do with my idea of a teaching technique using the symbolic language of the gut brain.

There is an edited Summary after the video …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

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

I just had a thought today that for people who cannot read … say, autistic people and people with other sorts of reading disabilities, we could try teaching shorthand or pictograms instead.

I think this might have some success, because shorthand and pictograms relate to the language of the gut brain … the symbolic language of the gut brain. And so, where certain important functions of the higher brain are lacking or taken over by other functions, it might be possible to train the gut brain, in the way of the Neanderthals, to accomplish a task similar to the task that the higher brain accomplishes in other people. That is what I think … this being one example of that.  I think it is worth a try.

Another thing that might be tried is metaphors, because metaphors are remembered very well by the gut brain, and the gut brain would be fully functional. Say, the metaphor were to be ‘Jack and Jill went up the hill’. That is a nursery rhyme, but that might do.

Then you would have a picture of Jack in the form of a ‘J’, and the first sound in the metaphor is ‘juh’. So from ‘juh’ they could get ‘J’; and then they might learn the letter ‘J’.

The thing I thought might be best is to use that technique called ‘synesthesia’. It is a technique where numbers, for instance, are associated with some other thing, like a color or sound. The person who has this skill experiences two or three of these at the same time.

I thought that skill might be developed in people with learning disabilities, so that tones might be used to represent letters. Intuitively I feel that the tones would be like music, and music is something that is picked up by the gut brain. In that way a connection might be made in a different kind of wiring setup for learning disabilities regarding reading.

In love, light and joy

Dear Ones,

This video is about a Lower Mental Body (aka ‘gut brain’) metaphor I often hear being bounced around in the unconscious thought cloud of the world: The reference is to a ‘bomb in the basement’. There is a Summary after the video …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice.

I am here right now to explain a term that is heard quite a bit in the subconscious realm of the noosphere, and it goes like this …

I’ve put a bomb in her basement.

I have finally figured this one out, with my ‘universal translating’ abilities … It has to do with the microbes in the gut brain. And it has to do with when a person has a drink of alcohol.

You know, the gut is the home of the microbes; and specifically, I am talking right now of the very intelligent race of Martian bacteria that are in our colon, ok? There are a lot of them. In fact, they greatly outnumber the cells of our colon.

In proportion to our general beingness, they are slightly greater than the number of all our cells. But there in our home, in our gut brain, in our lower or ‘large’ colon, they are in control! …  [laughs] …

So but anyway, they attempt to translate things. And to speak English. But their world view is totally different from ours. Really different. You have to imagine yourself there, with them, to understand.

So what they are saying, when they say, He put a bomb in her basement … is that the alcohol is like a bomb that kills them, there in his basement. And his basement is the large intestine, ok?

And so, there in that area, one of the things that is there is the sexual urge, which they are intimately familiar with, and have something to do with, along with the yeasts, which have even more to do with it.

But anyway, when they say ‘in her basement’, what they mean is that the drinking of alcohol makes it impossible to perform the sex act, because people become too inebriated to know what to do about it.

And so ‘her’, they say, ‘her’ is when the man, in his man’s form, does not have the ability to perform the sex act. Then he becomes like her, right?

So, parsing once more:

He put a bomb in her basement … He drank alcohol, which went down to his large colon, killed a bunch of Martian bacterial colonists, and he became sexually ineffective because of it, for that time.

All right, so there is that one. It is a hard one.

In love, light and joy

Acting Out of the Subconscious Metaphor: I Will Nail You! . by Alice B. Clagett

Subconscious metaphor: I will nail you!

Dear Ones,

This is an unusual story about subconscious symbolism. I found out from somebody else who is clairaudient. In the past year, I had some odd trouble with a woman in a social situation: It seemed to me that, when she stood in front of me, subconsciously she was attacking me somehow. This happened time and time again.

Energy from her second chakra was heading towards my second chakra, and hitting it, and piercing it with little knives or something. And so I would move to stand in a way that would not be center to center with her, or centerline to centerline with her.

Then she would move, so that we were facing each other once again, and what seemed to be a psychic attack would start again. Then I would move behind something as a barrier, and she would move over to the other side, and what felt like a subconscious attack would start again.

The attacks would continue as many as 10 times during one social event. Near the end of these occasions, she would come stand directly in front of me and attack me with words, and also with what felt like second chakra ‘knife darts’. It was very upsetting to me. It got to the point where I did not want to be in any social situation where she was present anymore.

I was mulling it over last night, and somebody came in, on the psychic plane, and said that, in their clair vision it seemed to them like what was proceeding from her second chakra area were nails. And finally I got it: Her subconscious energy was perceiving the metaphor: I will nail you! … as if it were physical objects … nails … that it was projecting towards my second chakra.

Now that I understand the metaphor, I have to say that I am much calmer about a possible recurrence of the situation, thanks to the person who figured that out, and was able to describe their clair vision.

In love, light and joy
