… you can save a lot of money on your heating and cooling bill. According to the Los Angeles Times, trees can save 10-15% of summer cooling costs in inland areas of Greater Los Angeles …
Deciduous trees are a good choice; and of course, drought-resistant trees are a good choice for Southern California. The reason deciduous trees are good is because in the summertime they have their leaves, and their leaves will shield your house from the Sun. And in the wintertime they lose their leaves; so then the Sun can get to your house and warm it up.
It looks like the City of Los Angeles is offering free trees to residents! …

Dear Ones, Here is a video on mitigating transportation issues with regard to a Carrington Effect. A Summary follows the video. There is a reading list at the end of the blog.
VIDEO BY ALICE
SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.
I have a topic to discuss that I have been putting off … Please excuse me. It has to do with the likelihood of a Carrington effect, and the short-term consequences resulting from that, due to the fact that, here in the United States, we are very technologically oriented and electronics oriented.
As you may know, in 2012 Pete Riley of Predictive Science, San Diego, CA, calculated the probability of a Carrington event in the next 10 years at approximately 12%; here is the paper …
I would like to put forth the notion that a Carrington Effect, in addition to the damage that it might do to the power grids … making gasoline unavailable here in the United States, and elsewhere in the world, for weeks, months, or possibly, years … might also instantaneously halt transportation here in the United States, and elsewhere in the world, because of the electronics in the engines and in the systems of cars now.
My question is: Would a Carrington effect most likely destroy sensitive electrical and electronic mechanisms in cars … such as ignition coils, generators, mechanical distributors, and starting motors … making it no longer possible for transportation to take place?
So this is a Call to Action regarding mitigation of that possibility. What can we do, to prepare ourselves for lack of transportation for, say, a week or two weeks, or maybe an extended length of time?
Effect on People Who Are Homebound and on Oxygen
For instance, with lack of transportation, one of the things that might happen is that people who are homebound and on oxygen are no longer able to obtain oxygen. They need to talk over this possibility with their healthcare providers, and try to keep on hand additional, emergency containers of oxygen.
I know this is possible because, for instance, in snowbound areas, as I recall, Medicare will provide those kinds of large containers, full of oxygen, in case the electricity goes down. I would like to suggest that all people who are on oxygen have those containers on hand, because of the likelihood of the Carrington Effect affecting transportation, and making it difficult or impossible for replacement oxygen canisters to be delivered to homes for some length of time.
Advantage of Owning an Older Car with Less Susceptible Electrical and Electronic Parts … and a Bicycle or Foot-Powered Scooter
If you are able, or have the money, or if you are thinking of trading to a new car, may I suggest the type of car that has no electronics in it … that very basic car? I think that is a good plan for the future.
Possibly even more helpful would be to have on hand a bicycle with a carrying basket on the front or back, or a foot-powered scooter on the handlebars of which shopping bags can be suspended.
Public Water Supply May Fail
In addition, in terms of water supply, my understanding is that there is a powerhouse that pushes the water from the storage area to the various homes somehow. I do not know how this takes place, but if it is true, and if the power goes out because of the Carrington Effect, then we will have no water. For instance, in towns where water is gravity-fed from a water tower, it must be that electricity is needed to pump the water up into the tower. Without electricity, such a water supply system would fail, would it not? So, everyone has to look into alternatives of water supply, in the event of a Carrington Effect.
Thoughts on Storing and Cooking Food
Of course, there is an issue of storing food, and of cooking the food. I suggest keeping on hand small cans of food that are already hydrated … that do not need extra water … and that have protein content in them. This is because, if the Carrington Effect takes place, there will be no refrigerators to keep the food in large containers refrigerated, and it will spoil. So, individual, or family-sized containers of canned food are the best bet … Say, beans in cans. Maybe instant rice, or oats that are ‘quick oats’ would be possibilities, if a fire source can be provided. All this I have written up in this blog …
Link: “Pioneer Skills: Planning for Tough Times Ahead,” by Alice B. Clagett, published on 19 September 2017; revised on 2 October 2024 … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-7H3 ..
… so you can look it up there as well. If we were suddenly reduced to pioneer circumstances, then you would want to have on hand, in your house, at least the least expensive ways of sustaining life until the power grids and transportation are restored.
What If Parents Are Stranded at Their Workplace, and Children at Their Schools, as a Result of a Midday Strike of the Carrington Effect?
Also as a result of possible transportation take-down, if the strike of the Carrington Effect were to take place, say, midday, there would be an issue of how families might be reunited, so that they would be better capable of surviving, during the interval before power is restored.
How will parents get home, if their job takes them far from their home? How will children get home from school? Is there a plan in place, to help with that?
Suppose they cannot get home? Then, is there a plan for survival at the place where the parents work?
Do people who work far from home keep a comfortable, sturdy pair of walking shoes at work, in case they must walk home?
Is there a plan for survival at the school where the children are?
If part of the family arrives home … say, the children … and the parents cannot, then do the children know what to do, so as to protect themselves and sustain themselves, until the family is reunited?
Highrises May Be Rendered Uninhabitable. I note also, in this regard, that people who live or work in highrises, or in buildings with windows that will not open, might find these buildings unusable, after a Carrington Effect, for lack of ventilation and inoperability of HVAC. (Or, occupants might keep on hand tools for cutting holes in the windows, for ventilation.)
Shall We Establish Community Granaries?
Here is something else: Could each community provide something along the lines of the Babylonian Granaries (grain storage facilities)? In Jewish times as well, the person in charge of a group of people would have a grain store, just in case of times of difficulty such as a Carrington Effect would cause.
Would there be a place … say, a deserted supermarket … where supplies could be kept and doled out, in the way that rations were doled out during World War II?
This is something that each community could decide upon, and provide for on its own … Powdered milk for mothers with children, for instance. And maybe grain stores … cornmeal, flour, and the other things that I have suggested, such as rice and beans, could be on hand and could be given out, in the way that these supplies are given out in developing countries during catastrophic natural disasters.
On Planning to Repurpose Our Military Might to the Home Front in the Event of a Natural Disaster Such as a Carrington Event
We need to look to the home front right now, I feel. It would be good to draw back our troops, in an organized way, as conflicts begin to cease, worldwide … considering, also the difficulty of getting our men and armaments home in the event of global power grid difficulties … and instead, develop a plan, on the home front, for caring for our communities during a crisis … maybe, extended times of crisis, the Carrington Effect being only one such.
That is my thought for today. I wish you all the very best.
In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!

I was reading an article about how a fire at a homeless encampment alongside Fwy 405 is thought to have started the pricey Skirball fire on 6 December 2017 …
I thought it might be a good time to publish the below video about a homeless plan for Los Angeles, as clearly, it’s important to find a solution to the problem of homelessness in Los Angeles, not only for humanitarian reasons (which I myself find very compelling) but also because of …
the threat to property owners caused by forest fires,
improper sanitation at encampments, which might lead to disease outbreaks, and their spread through homed populations
potential lawlessness in confrontations between the homeless and the homed
homeowner fears of falling property values,
and the clear need to find a way for taxable residents to pay for services for the homeless till they can get back on their feet, as has been evidenced in
sharp upticks in property taxes and utility prices in Los Angeles,
and declines in some city services, such as …
freeway and road repairs, including repaving of residential streets … as I understand it, the block I live on hasn’t been repaired resurfaced since it was first paved, going on 60 years ago.
sidewalk repairs caused by street tree roots, although partial rebates may be available for property owners who make such sidewalk repairs … see http://www.sidewalks.lacity.org/ ..
repair of potholes in alleys, which issue I explored some years ago and found to be, at that time, insoluble
and development of more frequent and more widespread mass transit facilities
If the homeless were housed and employed, they could add to California’s tax base, and assist in financing those Los Angeles City Services that are currently overburdened or on hold.
Further, their tax contributions to the State of California and the City of Los Angeles might help lower the high cost of utilities and property taxes, through a more robust the tax base.
In fact, the simple act of just one homeless person finding good employment gives the City a big lift, in terms of it’s need to support and uplift those in need.
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.
This is a continuation of a suggestion I had for a place to house, or allow an encampment of, homeless people, especially men, or men who are with a woman, but not families. Or maybe just homeless men, in the San Fernando Valley. I understand there are about 6,000 people that need homes there.
Anyway, I came up with this notion, and I’m putting it forth as a possibility. If you like the idea, but the location is not appropriate, then you could use the parameters that I’m choosing by, to find another location in the San Fernando Valley.
So I had in mind, as a locale, the parking lot … and maybe also, as time goes on, the building that used to be Costco, at the intersection of Canoga Avenue and Roscoe Blvd in the San Fernando Valley. That’s the southeast corner of that intersection.
It features a big parking lot, and then there’s a really big Costco building there. There’s also a special kind of fueling station … an electric charging station … there in the parking lot right now. But the Costco has closed up and gone elsewhere, and the property has been, for some time, vacant … probably for lease or for sale.
So I had some thoughts about that …
It’s kind of off by itself. It’s not next to a shopping center, like the OSH property that was deserted at the northeast corner of Victory Blvd and Fallbrook Avenue in the San Fernando Valley. So there is less likely to be complaints about it from shopping center upscale retail stores.
And it’s across the street from a Salvation Army Thrift Store and facility. And it’s also next door to a Home Depot.
And I thought a few things: I thought that, with a high fence, the part of the parking lot that’s not being used otherwise could be fenced off and used as a place where the homeless could pitch their tents.
And I also thought that the people at Salvation Army might be ideally suited to help maintain such a homeless encampment, or to provide professional advice regarding it.
Then, there’s a Salvation Army store right there, which would provide cheap goods.
And the Home Depot, I’ve noticed that there are day laborers who gather outside, ready to help people with their home improvement and repair projects. And I wondered if that might be, temporarily, a source of day labor for the homeless encampment.
Also I thought of Home Depot and Lowes, because they have inexpensive, prefabricated sheds. The smallest of these sheds might be helpful to put up as semi-permanent locations, that would provide some security for their goods if they were to go off on a day job, or other job. And that might also provide them with safety while they are sleeping, and better protection from the elements in case of rain, or like that. Although it would be pretty hot in the summertime. And it wouldn’t necessarily have electricity in it.
I feel that the City of Los Angeles might be able to provide WCs, porta-potties, of the kind that have footpumped water dispensers, so that people could wash their hands with and soap.And so there would waste disposal facilities that could be quickly set up and pretty easily managed, I think.
This is the problem: There’s no grocery store extremely close, although within walking distance for those that are not too handicapped, I feel, there are a couple of big grocery stores. The nearest, 2 blocks to the west, on Roscoe, is Vallarta Supermarkets, which is quite well stocked. But not too close, so maybe a shuttle might be provided, from the place where the people are encamped, to a grocery store … maybe once a day, or twice a day; what do you think?
But in addition, for sundries and a minimal amount of food supplies, there’s a liquor store within a block, a little to the south, on Canoga Ave,
Next to the liquor store is a Post office. I know that a lot of homeless people are depending on their Social Security, SSDI (Social Security Disability Benefits) or SSI (Supplemental Security Income) checks, and that might be a place where they could establish an address, a Post Office Box.
I also noticed there are mass transit routes on both Canoga Avenue and Roscoe Blvd., so that’s good.
So there are a lot of reasons why that particular location is a really good one, for the time being.
Then, I wondered about the Costco … A little bit farther out, a little bit later on, I wondered if there might be a way to provide an incentive for businesses to emply the homeless in stalls, or stations, in that Costco. So that it could be rented, by the year, or whatever, by any number of small businesses that are struggling to get on their feet, and that might get a tax advantage from hiring those people that are homeless.
Also I thought, as far as tax advantages are concerned: Maybe there could be a credit if, say, Home Depot, or Lowes, or one of the local lumber companies or hardware stores wanted to provide a discount on … or even provide outright … some of the small shelters that might be needed for the homeless population in the parking lot.
So basically, that’s what I’m thinking.
To the east, there’s a homeless facility that’s open only during the cold winter months, the coldest months of the year. This is an 85-bed facility in Sylmar now open only in the winter, but which is planned to be converted to a year-round bridge housing facility for women.
Link: “Homeless Shelter For Women To Open In San Fernando Valley,” by California Patch, News Partner, 3 October
But I feel that, in the encampment I’m proposing, it might be good to separate the population, even in that one large parking lot, into …
single men, for one large area,
and then families, for another area,
and then in another area: Handicapped people. And the reason to allow handicapped access to another area is that, there might be some roughhousing and carrying on in the men’s area, for instance. And the handicapped can’t move quite so fast sometimes … They’re not as mobile … And they might be better protected in a separate enclosure.
So those are my thoughts.
I also think that a grading system might be established … maybe with Salvation Army, at first, training people who are in the encampment, to become caretakers or people to help keep order and make sure everything is ok … to call the police if any roughhousing happens, and to have strict rules about that, so that the people that are there can feel safe and comfortable.
And also, if it turns that there are people who are either employed as day laborers for Home Depot, or else, say, in a sort of a factory situation, inside of Costco, if that were to work out … Or even if something were to be worked out in the parking lot there, for day laborers with rudimentary manual skills … then there might be these people who have been trained to help decorum during the day, and to make sure that there are no instances of substance abuse, and like that, which cause the feeling that there might be an unsafe situation happening.
I wondered further … If the homeless were employed, whether there might be a discounted training position available. That is, maybe part of the wage that a person received might be benefits for substance abuse programs, or psychological or health issues programs that might be provided ‘on campus’, as it were.
Well that’s my thought: That place, or someplace like it might prove to be quite a Godsend for the homeless population here in the San Fernando Valley.
Tell me what you think about it! This is a topic for neighborhood discussion.
Talk to you later! Bye bye …
In love, light and joy

Here is a curse and one possible answering symbol to undo the curse. This curse has to do with death, or the killing of a person or persons being the foundation of a building, a dwelling, or a group.
In the long run, the answer to this kind of deep subconscious archetype or symbol is affordable housing for everyone, I feel.
There is an edited Summary after the video; after that is another section not in the video …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.
The night before last I saw in a vision a curse that was laid upon a number of people that was like an archetypal image or subconscious symbol with great power … but it was a black magic curse.
I will draw you a picture of it, and attempt to explain a little about it, in hopes that it will get to those people so that they can dissolve and disempower this curse. It goes like this …
The Dwelling Curse
Drawing: “The Dwelling Curse,” by Alice B. Clagett, 3 November 2016, CC BY-SA 4.0, from “Awakening with Planet Earth,” https://awakeningwithplanetearth.com … DESCRIPTION: Two yellow bars leaning toward each other, so that they look a little like a roof, with a black bar laid horizontally beneath them.
Drawing: “The Dwelling Curse,” by Alice B. Clagett, 3 November 2016, CC BY-SA 4.0, from “Awakening with Planet Earth,” https://awakeningwithplanetearth.com …
DESCRIPTION: Two yellow bars leaning toward each other, so that they look a little like a roof, with a black bar laid horizontally beneath them.
It is a three-part picture. Down at the bottom there is a very black bar. And on the sides there are two yellow … it looks kind of like half-palm-leaves, only yellow … solid things, like wood.
The curse is like this: The black bar represents death or a dead person. And the yellow things represent a place to live, like a house or a place to live. When this curse was placed, it stated or imprinted, in the subconscious minds of the people, that if they killed … if a person were lying dead or buried … then they would have a house to live in.
So the idea is, as in the thuggee cults, that the death of someone will give them sustenance or means to survive. Further, the symbol of this curse shows that the dead person is the ‘floor’ … or the foundation … of this safety; of the building that the people have.
So buried in the ground of the place you would find the corpses of the people that have been killed to preserve this edifice. By ‘edifice’ is meant the group … the continuation of the group … and including the building and the grounds and so forth.
One ‘Answering Symbol’
I have a thought about what to do to dissolve this curse. I think the thing to do is to offer a counter-symbol. It could be like this …
Drawing: “The Dwelling Curse: One Answering ‘Symbol’,” by Alice B. Clagett, 3 November 2016, CC BY-SA 4.0, from “Awakening with Planet Earth,” https://awakeningwithplanetearth.com … DESCRIPTION: Two yellow bars leaning toward each other, so that they look a little like a roof, with a yellow bar laid horizontally beneath them, and sunlight streaming down upon them.
Drawing: “The Dwelling Curse: One Answering ‘Symbol’,” by Alice B. Clagett, 3 November 2016, CC BY-SA 4.0, from “Awakening with Planet Earth,” https://awakeningwithplanetearth.com …
DESCRIPTION: Two yellow bars leaning toward each other, so that they look a little like a roof, with a yellow bar laid horizontally beneath them, and sunlight streaming down upon them.
In this image there are still the bar at the bottom, and the two symbols that represent a house or building. And in addition to that there is the sun here … [top left] … a yellow Sun, and the rays of the Sun, coming down, onto the building here (which is bright yellow now from the rays of the Sun). Down here beneath it, the floor of the building is no longer black; instead it is that same bright yellow color.
So what we have is the Sun, and the abundance of the Sun, shining down on the building, nad changing all of that karma and that bad spell about having to kill … or that death is the foundation of the building … and the foundation of the group … into the notion that the Sun’s abundance is changing everything into a beautiful yellow Light color. In other words, the karma is dissolving. So this is the answer; this is one ‘answering’ symbol.
I later learned, on the psychic plane, that the 3D source of this curse may have been a cover-up regarding a love affair between a purportedly celibate, holy man and a young boy, a child less than 10 years of age. As the holy man … according to the astral airs … had contracted HIV from the male prostitutes he had been employing, he passed on the virus to the boy, who died of AIDS not long thereafter.
The holy man, as the story goes, felt still an obsession to hold onto the child after his death, as it was his first love affair, and he cherished the unconditional love the child had shown towards him. So the child was buried illegally at the place where the man served as a holy man for his spiritual community, near the place where the people worshipped.
Years passed, and the child’s astral form remained chained to the mind and emotions of the holy man. During all those years, the curse was in effect. That curse is the topic of this blog, which … I see now … speaks to the issue in a deeply symbolic way.
By God’s grace, after the retirement of the holy man, the grave of the child was discovered, and the remains removed elsewhere. When that happened, the black magic spell was lifted from the place where the curse had been cast.
It is my hope that the remains of the child will one day be place in a consecrated graveyard that is far from the place where the holy man now lives, so that the spirit of the child may be set free to pursue the natural course of Soul evolution after dissolution of the physical form.
So may we all let go those who have passed on before us, in charity of heart and healing of what is lost, in knowledge of the fulfillment of our own destiny through Christ our Lord.
In love, light and joy

In the Southwestern United States, there exist very good possibilities for people of moderate fixed means … such as those who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Social Security, and veterans’ benefits … to live comfortably.
Further, there is the infrastructure to support them … such as food stores, clothing stores, gas stations, and often bus transportation and basic healthcare facilities as well. There has been quite an exodus from small towns to the cities in recent years, and this has left vacant apartments and houses, vacant motels, and vacant businesses and office buildings. Thus the infrastructure is there, waiting for those who want to move to quieter locations, although a little fix-up of the buildings may be necessary.
The influx of people of moderate means to these areas which till now have been declining in population, would boost the local economies, and might provide for the newly arriving people from the cities a welcome relief from urban crowding and the attendant ills of crime, traffic congestion, noise and smog pollution. Further, it would offer a chance to be closer to community life, and to be close to nature.
