Dear Ones,

I have run across several very good lists of clair abilities, including the new abilities of the Awakening. Here is one such list …

NEW AND OLD CLAIR ABILITIES

Link: “Talking About Ascension: Energy, Symptoms, Abilities,” by Ellen M. Gregg, 27 September 2016 … https://ellenmgregg.com/blog/talking-about-ascension-energy-symptoms-abilities … Search for the subheading: Ascension Abilities

To the above-referenced list, I would like to add these new clair abilities …

FURTHER ENHANCEMENTS TO OUR CLAIR ABILITIES

These include …

  • Clair sensitivity to the EMF of oneself, of other people, of objects, and of the Solar System and Galaxies
  • Clair hearing on three personal, mental levels: Lower Mental Body, Higher Mental Body, and Supermind (as Sri Aurobindo termed it).
  • Clair hearing on a chakra-by-chakra level, including on the level of each of the Transpersonal Chakras.

CLAIR ABILITIES APPROXIMATED BY ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND NANOTECHNOLOGY

Electronic devices and nanotechnology approximate, in a somewhat clumsy physical way, the clair abilities that are presently becoming universal among humankind. As each of us awakens to these abilities, there is a certain amount of fear expressed by the cells … fear of change. The cells are very conservative little beings, and their upsets routinely present themselves to our awakening Awareness as astral stories with fearful emotional content.

As the new clair skills are a little like electronic devices, they can be mistakenly taken as something negative … unwanted intrusions on our privacy by other people, for instance. And so, it is important to know that our new clair talents, and those of others, are part of God’s plan for the evolution of humankind into the New Human on New Earth. It is important to have faith in ourselves, in God, and in all the new things that are unfolding on Earth in this precious and momentous time.

Here are some thoughts I have about congruences between the new clair abilities and the ‘near-ESP’ conferred by electronic devices and nanotechnology …

Cell Phones. Clair hearing and clair speaking are like cell phones. One must be careful, however, to converse with the Higher Mental Body of another person (this is telepathy with another person’s cerebral cortex, not the gut brain). Say: I’d like to speak with the True Self!

Smart Phones and Internet. Our ability to connect with the Star Libraries now is like using smart phones or computers to connect to the electronic Internet. Further, if we want to connect to the electronic Internet on Earth, and an Internet connection is not handy, we can clair ask someone who is online to check for us, and get the answer through Clair Speak.

Chat Rooms. As everyone on Earth is becoming clair, we are all now able to chat on the clair ‘Internet’ without needing to log into an online chat room.

Television. The new ability of co-creating reality through astral stories is like television. Anyone can be the producer. If there are enough active viewers, an astral story now manifests as semi-physical reality, through manipulation of the Plane of Forces.

Spy Cameras. One of the first of the new clair abilities often tried is that of stepping into someone else’s living room and observing what’s up … we now have ‘X-ray vision’, as did Superman. In future, this ability will also become useful for enhanced emergency medical services, I feel. As well, humankind will learn the art of restraining itself from idle curiosity (ahem!).

Spy Microphones. Most human beings can now eavesdrop on other folks’ conversations, just like that! Many are finding this an almighty inconvenience, but it is beginning to keep everything on the ‘up and up’. As time goes on, trust in the good will of the human community will build. That ‘con operation’ way of being will be eliminated, by common consensus. And further, as with the ‘Spy Camera’ category above,  humankind will learn the art of restraining itself from idle curiosity.

Medical Bots or Nanobots. Clair attunement with others’ subtle bodies, preparatory to clair healing. This is a little like using medical bots to monitor and heal physical disease, but the monitoring bots are our Awareness, and the healing quality is Love.

Drones. As a corollary to the ability of teleportation: Clair telescoping … the ability to clairvoyantly telescope in on a distant location, while still remaining in body … like having a toy drone with a camera in it, that you can see moving over the Earth to the thought-of destination.

CLAIR HEALING

  • DNA. Ability to unfold or fold up the DNA from 2-strand to 12-strand
  • Karmic Miasmic Distortions. Clair healing of karmic miasmic distortions through languages of Light and sound
  • EMF. Clair healing of the self or of others through clarification of the EMF field. Others may be physically close or healing may be ‘remote’
  • Vortex Work. Clair healing of people, land masses, and oceans through vortical release from the lower dimensions to the higher dimensions … that is to say, healing through vortical motion (see the book “The Emerald Tablets of Thoth”)
  • Co-Creation and Fractal Dissemination. Clair healing through co-creation on the astral plane, and fractal dispersal to other people’s energy fields, through their own free will choice to pattern after this new fractal

CLAIR TEMPOROSPATIAL ABILITIES … ‘PLAYING WITH’ THE CURRENTLY MANIFESTING SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM

  • Timelines. Clair timeline optimization, merges, jumping, and looping (either to the future or to the past in a particular timeline)
    • Clair rollback, brief: the ability to rollback a timeline to re-hear other people’s clair speak that has just slipped by unnoticed. Say: Rollback! and feel the astral story roll back to a minute prior, then replay itself
  • Dimensions. Clair dimensional optimization, merges, downloads (from the higher dimensions), and uploads (to the higher dimensions, so as to clear lower dimensions)

PATANJALI’S LIST OF CLAIR ABILITIES IN THE CONTEXT OF THE AWAKENING

In the way of old clair abilities that are surfacing among normal people now, we have those listed in the “Aphorisms of Patanjali.” These were previously thought of as ‘superpowers’ available only to Spiritual Adepts. See …

  • Link: “Patanjali’s Yoga Aphorisms: Chapter III – Powers,” by Swami Vivekananda … http://hermetic.com/vivekananda/raja-yoga/powers.html ..
  • and for a different commentary on these superpowers, see Swami Prabhavananda and Christopher Isherwood’s edition of this book … 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 ..

From this list, I would like to emphasize these powers; note that I have added editorial comments in the context of the Awakening …

Knowledge of past lives (# 18 on Patanjali’s list) … technically, in the context of the Awakening, this is knowledge of lives concurrently playing out in the Eternal Now. This is the video library of the Multidimensional, Multitemporal Self (or ‘Atman’)

Observation of another person’s body, and inference into his mind (#19) … The samskaras, or Soul wounding now being cleared by the Incoming Light, can be observed in a person’s physical or gross form, and in his astral form and etheric net, which are two of his subtle bodies. These reflect distortions in the Body of Light, which are easily resolved through the new clair abilities to heal through Light and sound.

Power to become invisible (# 21) … The power suggested by Patanjali have to do with interference with another person’s physical vision. The new clair ability has to do with clarification of the body of Light, and concentration on this energy field, which is so rare and refined that it passes through physical matter.

Power to becoming unhearable (#22) … The power suggested by Patanjali, like the preceding power, has to do with obstructing the sense organ perception of others. The new clair ability has to do with focusing one’s hearing on the Music of the Spheres. I believe Tom Kenyon expresses this in his Aethos sound meditation … see www.tomkenyon.com ..

On gaining knowledge about the cosmic spaces, the arrangement of stars, and the motions of the stars (#27, 28 and 29) … It seems to me that studying these would be useful in regaining knowledge of our internal star maps, gaining access to the star libraries, and aligning with the manifestation of God’s love, truth and will through our Star brethren alliances

On meditation-union with the heart, which gives one power over the mind‘s contents (#35) … To clarify, one attains power over one’s own mind through meditation-union with one’s own heart. This is because the heart is the center of our personal electromagnetic-field, and the three minds (Lower Mental Body, Higher Mental Body, and Superconscious Mind) are merely substations of our EMF. The heart is the Central Command post of the EMF, as it were.

Supernatural powers of the senses, such as sight, touch, hearing, scent and taste. (#37). Per # 38, these are obstacles to Awakening. Why is this? Because when we have supernatural sensory abilities, we have twice the trouble stilling the mind. Further, it is a simple thing to impress other people with our supernatural sensory abilities, and it is easy to fall into the net of caring what other people think of us, so attaining these powers can tighten our karmic knots and increase our EMF distortions. This causes a darkening, or mottling, of our Body of Light. We must daily and hourly undertake the chore of clearing this subtle body, under any circumstances, but especially so when our senses extend to the supernatural realms.

About walking on water (#40) and levitating (#43): I offer the same caveats as for “Supernatural powers of the senses,” above. Further, the demon realm offers these powers … without our having to do any yogic ‘push-ups’ … by fiddling with the Plane of Forces; in exchange, it will enslave our minds through a demonic contract, and this contract will remove from us the ability to light up our hearts, so that we can master our three minds. If you want to walk on water or levitate, do not ask the demon realm to ‘make it so’.

Instead, align with God’s will and heart and mind, and allow the Awakening of your Ascension skills to proceed in a natural, unforced manner.

Mastery of the elements (fire, air, water, earth, ether) (#46) has its drawbacks unless one is first aligned with God. For instance, making rain stop or start in a given location, merely for the sake of one’s convenience, can cause personal karmic entanglement, and tarnish the body of Light (see above).

Becoming unobstructed by the elements: Swami Prabhavananda and Christopher Isherwood have a great writeup on this …. q.v. (‘quod vide’, ‘which see’). It sounds like fun, and also useful in an Awakening context, and for healing others.

Perfection of the body. There is a great spiritual tradition, as with the Buddhist monks, regarding perfection of the physical body concomitant with realization and Awakening of Spirit. I like this one, as long as it is undertaken in the context of providing a suitable home or house for Spirit. As they say in the Christian tradition, the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit … thus, it certainly makes sense to keep it healthy, graceful, strong, and beautiful or handsome. In Ancient India, the science of yoga was an important means to this end, and remains so today. Of course, there are also the opportunities of Western physical education and ‘cross-training’, which allows improvement of the various muscle groups. Stretching the muscles, and overall balance in development of the body, are equally important to strength training of various muscle sets. Massage of the viscera, with attention to acupressure points, stills the unconscious mind and perfects the function of the involuntary nervous system. (1)

Meditation-union with a single moment, and single-moment sequences (#53): Intuitively, I feel this will help perfect knowledge of the Eternal Now and of our timeline skills.

ON CHANGES IN SOCIETAL NEEDS DUE TO ASCENSION ABILITIES

Transportation. New powers of teleportation will obviate automobiles, trains, helicopters, and airplanes.

Housing, Food. and Utilities. As more people gain the ability to regulate their body temperature, obtain sustenance through Light, and co-create physical things such as houses, notions of property ownership and ‘paying one’s dues’ through wage slavery will obsolesce.

Life Expectancy and Medical Care. Life expectancy will be much greater, and we will be able to heal our bodies through the languages of light and sound, which are free to all.

Procreation. The Lower Mental Body, through which procreational desire and the urges of self-preservation and control of others are expressed, will be unified with the Higher Mental Body and the Supermind, creating in each of us what is known as Cosmic Mind or Universal Mind. The high procreation rate on Earth today has to do with the relegation of the Lower Mental Body to an unconscious state … what is termed the ‘involuntary’ nervous system in the medical texts. As we Awaken, there will no longer be an involuntary nervous system. As with the accomplished yogis of India, each human being on Earth will be able to consciously control the urge to have sex.

Crime. It follows from the above that the functions of the autonomic nervous system (the ANS) … which have to do with the ‘viscera’ … the heart, stomach and intestines … will be under conscious control. When we are able to regulate our heartbeat, then impulsive behaviors, and criminal tendencies as well, are easily curbed.

Ecosystem, Health of Oceans, Climate, Weather, and Tectonic Plate Activity. These will be easily transformed, moment to moment, through humankind’s coherent co-creative ability. This is within reach now, and can be achieved through simultaneous visualizations by such institutions as the Global Coherence Initiative … https://www.heartmath.org/gci/ ..

ABOUT CLAIR ABILITIES, DISCLOSURE, AND TRANSFORMATION OF FINANCE, ECONOMICS, AND WORLD GOVERNMENT

The above two abilities, ‘Spy Camera’ and ‘Spy Microphones’, are quite clearly going to have a major impact on world government, economics, and finance, as there will be disclosure after disclosure (for more on disclosure, search the internet for this term). The result will be transparency and coherence in every human arena.

THE ALL: INGROUPS, OUTGROUPS, AND THE ‘COMMON’ GOOD

As more and more people ‘Log on’, the notion of in-groups will expand outward till it encompasses all humankind, and from there onward to every sentient being everywhere in the Universe. Consequently, there will no longer be ‘outgroups’. All beings everywhere will be our ‘ingroup’. And so, decision-making regarding the common good will include what might be termed the ‘uncommon good’.

In other words, those whose welfare we might never before have considered, in our decision-making process, will now be included. In this way the barriers of nationality, culture, race, religion, politics, gender, sexual preference, and so on, will be eliminated.

In love, light and joy

Schmoozing, Lollapaloozing, Bruising, Misusing . and the Incoming Light . by Alice B. Clagett

Written and published on 22 October 2015; revised on 27 January 2019

Dear Ones,

Here is a blog about the new Light and the ‘old’ understandings about our reality …

  • putting spin on data is out. How can we trust each other if we fudge?
  • advertising and entertainment that ratchet up our base emotions are out. Let us appeal to our higher instincts instead … our courage, our nobility, our love for our fellow man, our desire to protect and sustain our children, our desire to uplift and enrich our own lives … our knowingness that life exists so that we may express the abundance of the Universe. Let us advertise and offer entertainment that uplifts, rather than dragging ourselves and our communities down into the quagmire of unconscious desires!
  • crowd control is out … we are individuals! Each human being is a reflection of God’s Light and love.
  • lobbying is out. Let us allow our governments to represent the common good, with a calm mind. Without that mini-noospheric commotion around what I want. What we want… Let it be: What’s best for all of us.
  • catastrophic thinking is out, Surely, all is well. We are that reflection of Source. We would not be manifest, in physical bodies, at all were it not that Source energy has created us and is sustaining us, moment by moment. Love and Light and joy are our birthright and our heritage.
  • conspiracy theory (every manifestation thereof) is also out. Dudes and dudesses! Shake hands with your right hemisphere. The refreshing fact is, the right brain intuitively knows that all is well. As they say: Breathe in. Breathe out. Know that all is well.…

IN: pure truth, unaltered by negative emotions

Dear Ones, Know that All is God. We are That!

  • We are both the known and the unknown in ourselves.
  • We are completely safe.
  • All that is happening is a coming to greater understanding of who and what we truly are.
  • We are remembering our greatness, the vastness of our own Souls.

In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!

Dear Ones,

I know Ascension lore is a bit more optimistic in orientation than some of the ways of interpreting the Biblical Revelation of Saint John the Divine. So I thought I would provide a series of blogs on the chapters of Revelation, with comments in an Ascension context.

The series is here … Link: “Compendium: End Times – Book of Revelation in an Ascension Context,” by Alice B. Clagett, compiled and published on 25 April 2025 … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-BTw ..

Below is a video on Revelation, Chapters 5-6, the Standard King James Version (my mom’s favorite, and public domain). There is an edited Summary below the video.

VIDEO BY ALICE

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

Ch. 5. The Book of Seven Seals and the Lion and the Lamb

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

I am here today to talk a little about the Revelation of John the Divine, Chapters 5 and 6. It is getting more interesting in every chapter. He had an amazing vision.

First I would like to talk a little about Chapter 5. That is a lengthy description of the “book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.” (Revelation 5:1) … the “Book of the Seven Seals.” It is pretty famous. This whole chapter is about how sacred that book is. In verses 3 and 4, it says …

3 “And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

4 “And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. –Revelation 5:3-4

There is quite a buildup here. There is a lot of suspense created in this chapter, about this book and what is in it, and how important it is. The next interesting bit has to do with what he calls “the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David“ … It was the Lion of the tribe of Judah that apparently transforms to the sacrificial Lamb that is found worthy to open this book and read it.

So he, let us say, is a prophet of Judah. And in this long line of wonderful prophets of the tribe of Judah he sees two qualities. One is courage … the quality of a lion … and the other is to be the Lamb … the sacrificial Lamb. Let’s see how he says it …

In verse 6 he describes “a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.” So, somebody opens this … and maybe this is, in this instance, John the Divine, one of a long line of prophets and seers of Judah.

I think when he says “sacrificial Lamb,” he was speaking, in general, about prophets and seers. First, they must have the courage to speak God’s Will, in this World of Duality, where God’s Will is not greatly honored. That takes great courage and sacrifice.

Just one other thing about that, and an interesting thing, harking back to ancient Egyptian times … It has to do with the Hathors that visited Earth back then, and again in the time of Christ … the Hathors of the constellation Sirius.

They also were thought to have two qualities. One was the quality of Sekhmet, the lioness who guarded humankind from all kinds of dangerous astral beings. And the other was the quality of the sacred heifer, which was a nurturing symbol akin to the symbol of the sacred calf or ‘fatted calf’ in the Bible.

Interestingly enough, these brethren of the stars, the Hathors, had this kind of quality as well … the quality of courage or protectiveness of a lioness, and the quality of sacrifice and nurturing of a heifer (like the Lamb of the Book of Revelation).

I have another aside or comparison to make. In the following verses, the Lamb takes up the book, and the tune of everyone around the throne … Remember, from the last chapter, all of the sages and angels, and all of the wonderful beings worshiping God around the throne? … They are here in this chapter as well.

About this Lamb who takes up the book, they say …

8 “And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.”–Revelation 5:8

You remember the four beasts? Link: “End Times: Revelation Chapters 2-4 in an Ascension Context,” by Alice B. Clagett, filmed on 5 September 2015 … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-3K1 ..

And now, verse 9 …

9 “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; …” –Revelation 5:9

Now in the time of John the Divine, I think there were quite a few Christians … followers of Christ … who had already fallen as martyrs to spreading the Word of God. And so there was a special meaning here for those people, I think, because this verse speaks of the act of dying as a chance to redeem the people of Judah to God, through blood.

So we have, layered onto this, the understanding that they had, in that day, of the crucifixion of Christ as such an act of redemption, followed by the blood of the martyrs, of which there were oh so many during that time. They were following in Christ’s footsteps.

And through their act of love, in the face of violence and injustice, facing the order of things as they were in that day, they were hoping to offer an example that would uplift all civilization in that time, and particularly the tribes of Judah, with which they identified.

Layered on top of that, we have another understanding of this transformation of the Lion of Judah … the spirit of David the conqueror …  Remember how David and his armies slew 50,000 followers of the Mesopotamian god Ba’al?

And so, in the tradition of Judah, in the land of Israel, we have the spirit of the Lion in David, who conquered all those other tribes. And then we have this act of conquest by the Romans, under whose rule Christ was killed and martyred.

And then I think the scribes and pharisees had a lot to do with many of the martyrdoms of the early Christians and Apostles. It was not just the conquerors that did this; but it was the pharisees. It was the holy men of the Jewish tradition of that time, who had a lot to gain by making sure that they kept their position of power.

And they probably took sides, in many cases, with the Roman conquerors, in quelling what might be considered an uprising of sentiment, or a threat to their power, of the followers of Christ in those days.

So with this notion of being willing to stand by a transformative notion for the world, even to our own death, we come into a further understanding of the Lamb … the Lamb as love, the emblem of the fourth chakra, the heart center … The Lion as the emblem of the third chakra, the navel point, the center of will that had sustained civilization for long ages. And the Lamb as the moving upward of the energy of humankind of that day, from the third chakra, which, at the best, was only about justice, and at the worst, was to do with conquest and killing, and whoever was the strongest, being the one that got his way … So, from the third chakra, to the fourth chakra, the progress of all humankind to a greater understanding of the Spirit of humanity at that time.

In the heart is the blood pump of the body. And in the idea of sacrifice is the notion that our hearts … our own hearts, when we feel them move out, in compassion, to all the world, and encompass the whole world … not just our own self, our own well-being, our own family … but looking out for everyone, through this Awareness here.

So a transformative notion for the civilizations of the whole world is what this change from the Lion to the Lamb is about. And we will see how that figurative way of speaking is borne out, when the seals are broken, in the next chapter. But before we go on to that chapter, there is just one more topic I wanted to bring up. That has to do, first, with a verse which we have already ready read, that describes the Lamb as “having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.” (Revelation 5:6)

And then skipping down to the eleventh and twelfth verses of this chapter (I missed some of this, but this is the part that struck my eye in this chapter), we get down to the point where everyone is exclaiming about the Lamb being in a position to break the seals (which is about to happen) and to read from the book. And so these verses are part of that explanation …

11 “And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

12 “Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.” –Revelation 5:11-12

We have several instances of the mention of ‘seven’ here. Remember, from before, seven candlesticks, and the seven churches, and the seven angels of the churches?

Link: “End Times: Revelation Chapters 2-4 in an Ascension Context,” by Alice B. Clagett, Filmed on 5 September 2015 … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-3K1 ..

And now we have the Lamb with its seven horns and seven eyes, and the seven Spirits of God. And then skipping down to what was just read, we have seven things that the Lamb was worthy to receive: “power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.” (Revelation 5:12)

Who is this Lamb? Are we this Lamb? Was John the Divine this Lamb? Were the Apostles who were slain this Lamb? Was Jesus Christ this Lamb? Was he the first fractal of this Lamb … the first presence of this Lamb on Earth? The re-invented carpenter God.

Remember Ba’al, who might be considered the ‘first’ carpenter god?

According to Wikipedia, Ba’al was a weather god. There is one sculpture in which he holds a thunderbolt …

LInk: “Ba’al,” in Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baal ..

Associated gods in the area were Tarhun, the Hittite Thunder God, and Teshub, the Hurrian god of sky and storm. There is a sculpture of Teshub holding an axe and a thunderbolt. I consider these symbols might represent, in addition to thunder and lightning, the more peaceful symbols of carpentry and fire (hearth and home) …

Link: “Teshub,” in Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teshub ..

So by extension, these three related gods of Mesopotamia … Ba’al, Tarhun, and Teshub … I feel may have a connection to carpentry, to home building, and to the warmth of the home fire, as did Christ, through his occupation as a carpenter.

The people who worshipped Ba’al were all exterminated by King David. And here is Christ, then, coming along … another carpenter, who is the son of God … and who was slain by those who had conquered the Jews. And I think that the ruling elite of the Jews probably put the conquerers up to it.

So here is something interesting: That person who is transformed to a new way of consciousness is worthy of “power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.” (Revelation 5:12) (1) Willing to receive all these wonderful things that people thought they could receive before, through the power of the sword: power, riches, wisdom, strength, honour, glory, and blessing. All these things that they sought through might in the past, now can be attained much more easily through the power of love, which is aligned with the spirit of God. At least, so I read all this.

I thought I would read the next to the last verse in this chapter, because it is so beautiful. It is in praise of God, and it goes like this …

13 “And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.” –Revelation 5:13

A beautiful chapter! And in just a moment we will go on to the next chapter.

Ch. 6. Seals 1 through 6

On to Chapter 6 in Revelation, by John the Divine. In this chapter, the Lamb of the Tribe of Judah opens the first six seals of the book of seven seals.

I spent some time looking at all this, and my feeling is that the seals could be considered … one way to look at them is to feel that they represent the way that things had been going for the Tribe of Judah in the recent past … or maybe the whole history of the Tribe of Judah … because, as the seals are broken, it starts to unfold like that history. And it goes like this …

The first seal is broken, and John sees a white horse … “and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.” (Revelation 6:2)

You might say this is the early history of humankind: There were a lot of conquering hordes, and fighting of tribes, and so forth. You might say it was the history of the Tribes of Judah, because there was an awful lot of tribal warfare in the early days. And you might also say it was the conquest Judaeah by the Romans. So, that past history of civilization … according to the way they knew it … was a history of conquest.

Now, on to the second seal …

3 “And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

4 “And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.” –Revelation 6:3-4

So this is the tendency of civilized people to kill each other. This is the lack of a peaceful mind in the world. Even after a conquest, yet there will be killing: Brother killing brother, and all that; and a need for justice, which is what is coming next … This is the third seal …

5 “And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

6 “And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.” — Revelation 6:5-6

So here we have justice, do we not? We have a civilized way of treating people; maybe the law of a civilized land or a wise king, that allows for fair trade; for processes of law; for a natural balance to take place; for commerce to take place in an orderly fashion. And these are the hallmarks of a peaceful civilization, are they not?

Now, moving on to the fourth seal …

7 “And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

8 “And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.” –Revelation 6:7-8

So here we have death; this is a very natural part of the experience in the third dimension, is it not? … the constant rounds of death and rebirth. I know it does not say, right there in the Bible, that this has to do with reincarnation, It is a foreshortened point of view here, that all these difficult situations in the third dimension … the conquering, the killing, the need for justice in enforcing some kind of social order … are followed by something pretty unfortunate; and that is death and hell.

So there is cause for concern about the nature of this dimension, this third dimension, is there not? There are complaints, because we are pure Spirit. And all these notions of difficult things of this nature, are not really true to the nature of our Soul. They are more like what some of the seers call the Duality Experiment.

The question was: How could the Soul, which is love, experience something as far as possible from the truth of itself and the truth of God? And so, they say, the Earth Experiment took place.

And here we have a seer of great insight into the bigger picture for this dimension, saying: Here are these things … these completely untenable things … happening all around me … Things that jar against the very nature of God, are happening every day, everywhere … all around me. All of the people … all the followers of Christ … are suffering greatly, or have been murdered. The Darkness has seen an end to all these people. And so the question arises that is answered with the next seal, the fifth seal …

9 “And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

10 “And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? –Revelation 6:9-10

So they are asking … you know, they believed in Christ. They believed in turning the other cheek. They believed in love. And these people who have passed on, and are now on the astral plane, are asking: What has happened? What is going on? And this is a question that has been asked for two thousand years now, has it not? … as all of these horrible things have continued to escalate on Earth.

Yes! There has been conquest by the mighty.

Yes! There have been killings; not only by nations, but also by human beings against other human beings everywhere. There has been genocide, has there not? There have been these berserker killings of the schoolchildren. There have been murders, man against man, and man against woman. There has been abuse, by men, of weaker people: of women. The newspapers are full of this stuff; there has been a lot of this stuff still going on. So that is a question that is still valid today.

This business about commerce … this attempt to maintain an even keel, despite all the Darkness of the third dimension … is another issue: How do we maintain the common good during these times?

The only beef I have with this section, has to do with avenging blood. I am not really in favor of avenging blood. In fact, I do not think Christ was really in favor of avenging blood either. And the martyrs, I do not think they were in favor of blood, or they would have fought and carried on in the first place!

Probably this section that describes the desire for vengeance, has to do with the people that were still on Earth, and to whom John was writing. That is just my guess …

On, to the sixth seal … The sixth seal is sort of an answer to this question: How long? … The sixth seal is something that has not really happened until these times.

There has been a 2000-year hiatus, when things have gone from bad to worse, in some regards … and especially with regard to something not mentioned in this chapter: stewardship of the Earth. We have done a pretty abominable job of taking care of the Earth. Not us personally; but it seems that is the way things have gone.

And on the bright side, there was a Hathor meditation by Tom Kenyon and his group, just last week or so, that was facilitated by star brethren and angels … a host, just like this host that was described in the last chapter … the chapter that says, around the throne the angels, numbering ten thousand times ten thousand …

11 “And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; –Revelation 6:11

It was like that, this last month apparently, as described by Tom Kenyon … https://tomkenyon.com/ … The source of this information was most likely an email, which I have paraphrased below …

He explained that the Hathors let him know that his 5 September 2015 global meditation was attended by tens of thousands of people, and that in the next 9 to 12 months, there may be a wave of action globally to help buoy up our ecosystem. This is anticipated to be a grassroots endeavor, international in scope; children will add their voices to those of others. During that meditation, Tom Kenyon saw benevolent beings from many dimensions bathing Earth in celestial Light.

This meditation, that was successfully accomplished by a great number of people on last month, was just that: To protect the stewardship of Earth, and to bring Earth back to balance. which is very cool. Well, this has been a digression.

I will go on with the sixth seal … Oh! The desire for vengeance, and gosh, it seems that with the sixth seal, things are not looking so wonderfully terrific, and the call for vengeance has been fulfilled. And it goes like this …

12 “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

13 “And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

14 “And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. –Revelation 6:12-14

So what he is saying is that, in the process of regaining the balance on Earth, there will be so many changes that it will seem that it is a disaster. It will seem like that. It is not a disaster, but it is going to seem like that, because everything new is so very different, right?

We will not be able to recognize the natural order of things, because the new order is a  completely different, and completely more beautiful order. And so, for a while we may lose our footing. We may lose our vision and understanding of what is going on, just as he says, in a figurative way.

He says you might as well think that the sky has changed, and everything we are used to has changed … that the Earth cannot be trusted anymore … as if an earthquake were happening.

But in truth, in my understanding, and in that of the seers that I am aligning with, what is really happening now is that the mental mind is getting such a shakeup that it seems like nothing is exactly the same in there. Now if we look carefully, as I have admonished in many blogs, we will find that our feet are still on the ground … that the sky is still looking the same, up there … the clouds and the sun and the beautiful blue … the moon … everything is still there, except when there is an eclipse or something.

The Earth and the sky are the same, and if we look in the eyes of our friends, we will find that they are the same, great spirits that they always were. But our minds are not making a lot of sense of all this right now. Off and on, when we get what they call a mental ‘reboot’, or an upgrade of the ‘software’ of our minds, to a greater understanding of all that is, for a little bit of time it may seem that nothing makes sense … that nothing is the same … and that we cannot count on anything. So at those times, let us have the greatest faith. Let us be solidly on Earth and in faith.

Now this next little bit, in this chapter, is the ending bit that I am going to talk about. I kind of like it; and it goes like this …

15 “And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

16 “And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

17 “For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” –Revelation 6:15-17

At the moment when I read the words “Fall on us” it thundered, and the synchronicity of it got me laughing.

To go on: To me, what is happening here is that he is saying that people who rely on might or power at this moment are going to be re-evaluating their position. And they will feel that the wrath of the Lamb of God is coming down upon them.

But the truth of the matter is that, at this moment in time, they are clearing their own wrath. And so it seems like something they are projecting onto the transforming agent, the Lamb. But in fact, it is their own wrath that is leaving, and clearing from their own hearts … And their own hearts that are coming into the glory that they will be knowing in this new dimension … the fifth dimension … the Kingdom of God.

Well, it is a good idea to go to the wilderness anyway, just for the wonderful tranquility of it, is it not? … during times when we are going through transformational change. But I am not so sure about hiding from the face of God, because the face of God is what allows us to remember who we really are too. (2)

You all take care. Love you lots.

FOOTNOTES

(1) Perhaps “power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.” (Revelation 5:12, KJV, public domain) are the seven Spirits of God? I researched this question and found out that, in the Book of Revelation, the number seven represents perfection or completion. And so, the seven Spirits of God may simply mean ‘the Holy Spirit’. Or it may mean 7 angelic beings. Or possibly 7 angels, each with one of the above 7 attributes.

(2) The purifying fire (or ‘agni’) of the kundalini rising might be likened to the wrath of God, as it burns away all impurities from the electromagnetic field, making our bodies fit to receive God’s grace. This song, “Refiner’s Fire,” sung by Brian Doersken, also refers to the ‘burning’ quality of grace …

REVELATION 5 (KJV, public domain)

1 “And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

2 “And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

3 “And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

4 “And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

5 “And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

6 “And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

7 “And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

8 “And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

9 “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

10 “And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

11 “>And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

12 “Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

13 “And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

14 “And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.”

REVELATION 6 (KJV, public domain)

1 “And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

2 “And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

3 “And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

4 “And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

5 “And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

6 “And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

7 “And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

8 “And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

9 “And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

10 “And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

11 “And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

12 “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

13 “And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

14 “And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

15 “And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

16 “And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

17 “or the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?”

Capital Punishment . ‘Do No Harm’ . by Alice B. Clagett

Dear Ones,

ON PATANJALI’S ADMONITION TO ‘DO NO HARM’

What does it really mean, Patanjali’s admonition that I ‘do no harm’? Does it mean that I should capture criminals so that the public may be safe from their predations? Well, that would be good. But what of the criminals themselves, while they are set aside from the mainstream of society … How does their incarceration affect them? How does it affect the rest of us?

ON BEING ‘IN HOSPITAL’ AT THE BEGINNING OF THE AGE OF LIGHT

Consider this: We humankind, having suffered through millennia of Darkness, on a planet characterized by the Christian ethos as being in the thrall of the Demon World, now find ourselves at the turning point … the turning away from the Dark and into the world of Light. This is the beginning of the age of regeneration and New Creation.

Yet each of us, having suffered through lifetime after lifetime of Soul agony, of separation from all that is, of the private hell of ego, of negative patterns of thought and emotion, is ‘in hospital’ right now, awaiting the sweet succor of Soul healing by the ever more beautiful Incoming Light.

No one is exempt. All of us are in need of this regenerative process. All of us are in hospital together, here on planet Earth.

And help is at hand. The ‘medicines’, in the form of the New Light, are available, free of charge, to every being in our Solar System, in our galaxy, and in fact this upgrade of the light is taking place throughout the Universe.

WILL THERE BE HELP FOR THOSE WHO HAVE COMMITTED A CRIME?

So what of the one who has ‘committed a crime,’ who is imprisoned? Is such help available to him? Yes, it is. For saints and sinners alike, help is available. Even for those imprisoned in dark, sunless rooms, help is available, for the sunlight filters down upon the Earth, and its healing quality sinks deep, deep, into the very core of astral Earth, down into the healing halls of Amenti.

During this time of wondrous upliftment, how can we do no harm? How can we soothe the suffering of those who have ‘acted out’? For in truth, as the Light increases, the choice to act in tune with our Soul wounding can create for us situations of great suffering, of crime and imprisonment, or worse yet, capital punishment …

THE COMMON GOOD AND THE CAREER CRIMINAL

How can we avoid doing harm to those who persist in doing harm? What of antisocial personalities, such as mass murderers and serial killers, for instance? Surely such persons are good candidates for imprisonment. But if we send them to prison to protect the rest of us from harm, and then they are raped and beaten there, is that ‘for their own good’? Does it ‘serve them right’? Ought we end their lives, write their Souls off as ‘worthless’?

That is for sure one way of looking at it. But does such an act of retribution, of vengeance, decrease the burden of human suffering? No, it does not. Instead, it inflicts upon a person who is already grievously Soul wounded … and that most likely through many incarnations … the burden of even greater suffering. And this suffering that we inflict, and that this Soul bears, bears down upon the harmonic of Earth and her peoples.

All of us groan when each of us suffers. And as New Creation unfolds, each of us begins to receive the gift of feeling that Great Note, that Great Harmonic, and of feeling the suffering of the very least of us as our own suffering. Feeling so … feeling the incursion of the lethal injection into the bloodstream, the slowing of the heart, the dulling of the sparkling trains of thought in the dying man … the very man upon whom we ourselves passed judgment … how can we as a society but turn away from punishment, and toward the realm of Soul healing, Soul sustenance, forgiveness, and love of even the most hardened criminal?

REINTEGRATION OF CRIMINALS INTO THE MAINSTREAM

Along these lines, I remember reading once about a town in Africa, and what they did when one of them committed a crime… They would gather in a circle, and put the person who had done that deed in the center. Then each of them would tell a story about something good in that person’s life. In that way, they would reinforce the good tendencies of that person, offer loving kindness and understanding, and allow him or her to step back into right relation with the community. What a wonderful idea! Therapy, healing, reintegration with our fellow humans!

THE EXAMPLE OF CHRISTED AND BUDDHIC CONSCIOUSNESS

Humanity has, for the last two thousand years, had the benefit of such a standard to live by. The example of Christ consciousness set forth in the New Testament provides just such a way out of this world’s suffering. By ‘walking in Christ’s footsteps,’ living in joy and love and Light, we increase the joy and love and Light of all beings.

Each act that springs forth from joy, in alignment with the will of God, buoys the Soul song of our planet. Each act of forgiveness to our fellow humans, each blessing that we shower upon others … and most especially, those who cannot forgive, who act out their Soul wounding, who hold to curses when the very air breathes Love.

The Buddhists made a pretty good prayer when they composed the Metta prayer. They said, for instance:

May all beings be happy!
May all beings have enough to eat!

WAR WITH THE DEMON WORLD VS WAR WITH OUR FELLOW HUMANS

Now this is a wee bit amusing, and here is why: In the war that has for so long been waged here on Earth, between the forces of Light and the forces of Dark … with us humans right in the thick of it … it is the Demon World that ‘eats’ the suffering of human beings. In other words, Demons love to cause us pain, because that is the very vibe that they thrive on. And further, it is the Demon World with which humanity is truly at odds, and the Demon World that sets human against human. What folly to wage war against our own people, our own fellow humans, when we are all equally preyed upon by this common enemy….

But to get back to the prayer: If the Demon World … which is well documented in Buddhist texts as well as in the Bible … is made happy by ‘eating’ the happiness of humans, then how can the Metta be fulfilled? Quite a conundrum, is it not?

After much pondering, my only answer is this: God will find the way. I place my faith in God. And I say again, from the depths of my heart …

May all beings be happy!
May all beings have enough to eat!

In love, light and joy
