SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.
I have for you today subsection 6.6 of the video series “Satan’s Powers and What to Do About Them,” by Alice B. Clagett. Subsection 6.6 is entitled “Cunningness and Deceit” …
Amongst people who are obsessed or possessed by a negative astral being, there will be an inability to speak truthfully. For instance, the obsessed or possessed person often projects his or her own Soul qualities … for example, antisocial personality qualities … on those who are not obsessed. This is a form of psychological projection, or self-lying, perhaps.
As I understand it, the Bible also mentions a quality of Satan to lay false accusations against the innocent. That leads me to the notion that the negative astral beings do not understand the notion of speaking truthfully, or else do not value it. In short, they must be liars.
For more about that, you can see a prior blog in this series entitled “Satan Is a Great Deceiver . He Speaks as a Dragon.” Then there is another blog entitled “Satan Causes Men to Lie” … and a few more: “Accuser of the Brethren,” and the blog “Devil . Murderer . Father of Lies.” These are in section four of this video series, which is entitled “Qualities of Satan, Demons, and Devils (According to the Bible).”
I have an image for you entitled “Children in the Forest,” by Ivan Kramskoi, 1887, in Wikimedia Commons; and it is in the public domain. Here are two little children in a very dark forest; but the forest meadow where they are standing is brightly lit by the sunlight. Yet the darkness of the surrounding area imparts a feeling of foreboding there.
My Comments on the image are below …

Image: “Children in the Forest,” by Ivan Kramskoi, 1887, in Wikimedia Commons … https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kramskoy_Children-in-the-forest_1887.jpg … public domain … COMMENTS: In a way, this painting reminds me of the qualities of Satan as being full of cunningness and deception. Here are two children in the forest. They are exploring happily and without fear. The forest itself is dark and foreboding. Were it not for the father, the painter, there to protect them, some wild beast might come and carry them away. In the same way Satan presents to our human eyes a seemingly delightful woodland meadow for our childish enjoyment. Entranced with the garden, we fail to notice him lurking amongst the trees, waiting for a chance to do us in. Were it not for our Heavenly Father, who paints the moving picture of our Earthly lives, and stands ever at the ready to protect us against Satan’s snares, we might not enjoy the garden of Earthly delights with such childish innocence.
