SUMMARY OF THE SOUNDTRACK
Dear Ones, It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.
A really fun thing happened today. I have been learning heart-centering prayer lately, from the nuns of Los Angeles. I got a book on it, and I have been studying it.
One of the things they do is, they say we should place a sacred word in our hearts … the word that we want to place there. So I immediately dismissed every other suggestion, and came up with the notion that I would like, in my heart, just the word: Here
And when I tried that, I found there is a little being … a nature spirit, or body elemental … a very joyful, simple little being, in my heart chakra, that … for me, for some reason … loves that word Here
So every time I place my Awareness on my heart, and say: Here … this little being says back to me: Here! … I’m here! … like that. I’m here! … very excitedly.
I was doing that today, and I came across someone else, on the psychic plane, who was interested in that technique. And I was saying: Maybe you would like the word: Here! … But her heart nature spirit did not like it. So we tried: Now! … instead. And her heart nature spirit loved that. It was like: Now!!! … Like that. It was really cool.
So then I was thinking about that term ‘Be here now’. When I was very young, I read a book called “Be Here Now” by Ram Dass and it made a great impression on me. And so, because I was in a group of spiritual people, I thought: Maybe there is somebody who would like to place that word: Be … in their heart … and we will see. And one of the gentlemen … on the psychic plane … said: I’ll do that!
So then, he said to his heart: Be … and his heart said back: Be!! … like that, like a guy would say it.
And then I said: Here! … to my heart. And my heart said: Here!!
And then the other lady said: Now! … to her heart. And her heart said: Now! … like that. It was very cool.
So I guess amongst the three of us, We’re here now!
In love, light and joy,
I Am of the Stars
