Introduction
Alice B. Clagett: This is Alice B. Clagett, author of this video series. I am pleased to be here with you today. Allow me to introduce today’s co-narrator Matthew Nihra.
Matthew Nihra: Hello, everyone. I am Matthew Nihra. Welcome to today’s presentation! It is my pleasure to speak with you today.
Series Author Alice B. Clagett and I will co-narrate today’s video. Let us begin …
This is the first of two videos on Enlightenment.

We start off with an explanation of our human responses to the Incoming Light during Solar events on Earth. These Solar events can cause a person to take more Light into their personal energy field, or to flee from the Light and to acquire more Darkness in their personal energy field.

. . . . .
In other words, people may experience a more perfect state of Enlightenment, or a state of lesser Enlightenment, consequent to variations in the Incoming Light here on Earth.
Why is that?

. . . . .
The answer has to do with the way that we react to threat energy. The way that we react often has to do with automatic conditioning … habit … rather than conscious thinking.

. . . . .
How we react to the novel condition of greater Incoming Light … especially during annual equinoxes and solstices, during astronomical gateways, during geostorms, during Earth-directed solar wind gusts, and during intervals of Solar Maximums … has a very great deal to do with whether we continue on the path to Enlightenment, or whether we retreat to Dark ground perceived as more safe.

. . . . .
The more we bring our subconscious responses to threat energy to the Light of our Awareness, the more likely it is that we will be able to react to threat energy in the way most helpful to our survival.

. . . . .
Will it be fight or flight? Will it be freeze, fawn, or flop? That is the question.

. . . . .
As the Light comes in, we have two possible outcomes depending on the state of our emotions. If we are feeling peace of mind, we may experience the many exceptional Ascension gifts and benefits.

For instance, as our DNA expands, we become more adept at physical regeneration.

. . . . .
We access many new clair abilities.

. . . . .
And we rise above cause-and-effect as we take on our Lightworker, pathfinder and wayshower skills of multidimensionality and multitemporality.

If we are feeling fearful …

… or angry, we may experience Ascension symptoms during Solar events.

. . . . .
For instance, as we become ever more clair, we may get caught up in ‘astral chatter’, and we may begin to believe, without rhyme or reason, that there is more to that than fantasy.

. . . . .
We may ‘glom up’ on the astral plane with groups of people, and that may make the astral fantasies more compelling.

. . . . .
We may then have an inclination to ‘act out’ what we are hearing in the astral realm by having a panic attack, …

Image: “The Man Made Mad with Fear” [cropped, adapted], by Gustave Courbet, circa 1844, in Wikimedia Commons … https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Man_Made_Mad_with_Fear_by_Gustave_Courbet_(detail).jpg … public domain
. . . . .
… or by violently ‘acting out’ in real life.

. . . . .
In a worst case instance, we may find ourselves caught in a scenario of ‘mass hysteria’, where a great many people … maybe even everyone on the planet … are swept up in an illusion and then ‘act out’ irrationally. Consequently, we may need to escape from physical danger.

. . . . .
How can we stay alive during a Solar event?

. . . . .
Can we find a way to settle our minds, bodies, and emotions so that we can seek the life-preserving and lifeline-extending benefits of a higher wattage, higher-voltage personal energy field?

Image: “Serene Holiday of a Beggar” [cropped, adapted], by Valery Jacobi, 1860, in Wikimedia Commons … https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:JacobiSereneHoliday.jpg … public domain
. . . . .
Will we clam up, or will we seek Enlightenment during times of High Light? The first sections of this video will explore these questions.

. . . . .
Once our survival is assured, then we can ask: What simple techniques will allow us to achieve traditional enlightenment?

. . . . .
And what simple technique will allow us to experience the Ascended state of enlightenment during Solar events?
Both these questions will be answered in the concluding sections of this video.
Series Author Alice B. Clagett will begin with an explanation of human responses to the prospect of change …
