Dear Ones,
Wesak celebrates Gautama Buddha’s birthday, his enlightenment and his passing away.
It is the energy of the Buddha and the Christ into which Earth is passing during the Great Awakening. We children of Earth are ascending in vibration and emanation, along with our mother Earth, into this beautiful state of consciousness.
In love, light and joy,
and with a special Wesak blessing for each of you,
Alice B. Clagett

ALICE’S VISION DURING A LONG MEDITATION: MEN AS CHILDREN OF GOD
MEN AND DESIRE
NONDUALITY
I AM THAT ETERNAL FLAME, A POEM BY ALICE B. CLAGETT
FOOTNOTES
Dear Ones,
THE FUTURE ROLE OF MEN
I see it can be very hard for men in these days of the great change. In aeons past, they have been the great Protectors, the Wise Shepherds of this World.
I had an interesting experience the night before last. My EMF (electromagnetic field) was huge, gigantic really. Joined to me in an etheric act of sex was a man.
Though he felt he was the only man, I sensed many men there too, each with a different woman.
Though each man felt he was the man performing this act, and each woman felt she was the woman performing this act, yet I sensed each was my own Soul, performing this act with my own physical body.
In one sense, we cause the act of sexual delight, each with another partner.
In another sense, we are the Cause, and we are the Partner.
In another sense, there is no Cause and no Partner, and yet, there is that Experience of Supreme Joy.
I had a vision once, in the early 2000’s. I was meditating in an Indian-style temple. It was during a long evening meditations, interspersed with some beautiful kirtan.
There was a courtyard outside. Both day and night it sparkled with blue white light, not just down near the ground, where people walked, but high up into the sky.
In my vision, Lord Krishna sat in the courtyard. His etheric essence filled the courtyard, shimmering out into the temple and the parking lot, and higher still. He held his hand out in front of him, at heart level, cupped.
In his hand sat a person playing kirtan, completely immersed in Divine love. The picture above reminds me a little of my vision.
MEN AND DESIRE
The fire of desire may seem uncontrollable. But Divine Masculine is its master!
The Shift occurs on realizing that the object of desire lies not outside us, but within us.
Desire begins to be felt, not by our body toward another person, but by our Soul toward our Human Form.
So Desire becomes manifestation of the Divine in this physical form. Fulfilled ceaselessly, in Highest Joy, as an act of creation, in the Now. (2)

I AM THAT ETERNAL FLAME
A Poem by Alice B. Clagett 27 January 2015
I am that Eternal Flame.
I am the Light and the Life.
I am the Way and the One who has found it.
I am the Dark that shapes this Light.
I am the All.
I am that within the All,
nurtured and nurturing.
Always the flame.
Ever changing.
. . . . .
In love, light and joy,
I Am of the Stars

FOOTNOTES
(1) I feel it is a mistake to imagine these are two separate people.
Rather, to me it seems this is a picture of the One God, at one with His Creation.
So then, as a man identifying with Godness, how can he look down on woman, who is one with him?
Is it not true that a woman bore us?
Who then is higher? Who lower?
If we are That, is She not the Source of That?

Gesture of Warding: Offering Demons Up to God
Postlude: Music of Chris Zabriskie and Images: Sunset in the Santa Susanna Mountains
Dear Ones,
Why do we sometimes see demons and devils? How can we send them off to God? Here is a video by me, followed by an edited Summary of the video. The Postlude features the music of Chris Zabriskie and images of sunset.
VIDEO BY ALICE
SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice.
I have a gesture that you can use, in case you feel that you’re seeing or sensing or hearing demons. You know, the Buddhists are very conversant with the Demon World, and they spent a lot of time, in the sacred texts, writing about the state of mind that we need in order to avoid demons.
And the problem with demons is, that they cause leaks in our energy field, so that the true magnificence of our Souls cannot shine forth as well as it is intended to do. So, as we proceed on the path of enlightenment and self-realization and awareness, what frequently … in fact, probably most of the time … happens is that our LIght … the Light of our Souls … becomes much brighter than the Light of people around us.
And in the fourth dimension, it attracts the attention of Demons. Not that they are not all around, everywhere, anyway … but when you really start practicing, the Demons really start noticing.
So that is why the sacred texts of many religions explain what to do; because people on the Spiritual Path need to know this thing.
This includes Christian texts, and the power of Prayer, and Selfless Service, and Recollection, and Contemplation, and Meditation, for instance, in the Christian way.
And in the Hindu way, it includes the power of devotional singing and chanting, the way of bhakti … and other ways, too. They have a whole science about it. Bhakti is a very pleasant way to avoid demons, because that Sound … that Sacred Sound … is always going in the back of our heads.
Then in the Buddhist texts, I was reading, the other day, about the way that we can cultivate our minds, so as to have a mind that is so clear … so devoid of snags and hooks and attachments and desires, and all that, that demons cannot get a toehold.
So there are all these teachings out there to help us: Prayer … prayer is immensely important. And lifting ourselves up to the notion of the Divine, because where the Divine is … where Christ is, where Buddha is, where the notion of Brahma becomes a true thing in our lives, where we walk the path of the Dharma, where we feel the presence of Lord Krishna … Those are not spaces, in any Dimension, where any Demon can be.
But nobody is perfect. And, on the Spiritual Path, people do run into Demons, Devils, stuff like that, every once in a while. So I was very pleased to find out about this very eloquent and very simple gesture that a person can do.
Gesture of Warding: Offering Demons Up to God
The complete gesture of warding is this: The person is standing up. The hands are cupped, palms up, in front of the body at the level of the navel point. Then the arms are slowly and gracefully spread wide in a sweeping arc, and find their way together above the bowed head, with the cupped hands raised like a chalice just over the bowed forehead, as the right foot is placed forward and some weight is placed on the right foot. You will notice that the hands are cupped, as if you are holding water in your hands. But what is really happening there is that you take the demon energy and you offer it up to God. Then the right foot is placed back near the left foot as the hands once more arc wide away from the body, and are lowered to a resting position by the sides.
I think it is a Buddhist gesture to offer the energy of the Demons and of the Demon world, up to God. So I will just step back and show it to you. You will notice that the hands are cupped, as if you are holding water in your hands. But what is really happening there is that you take the demon energy and you offer it up to God …

The complete gesture of warding is this: The person is standing up. The hands are cupped, palms up, in front of the body at the level of the navel point. Then the arms are slowly and gracefully spread wide in a sweeping arc, and find their way together above the bowed head, with the cupped hands raised like a chalice just over the bowed forehead, as the right foot is placed forward and some weight is placed on the right foot. You will notice that the hands are cupped, as if you are holding water in your hands. But what is really happening there is that you take the demon energy and you offer it up to God. Then the right foot is placed back near the left foot as the hands once more arc wide away from the body, and are lowered to a resting position by the sides.

THREE-MINUTE MEDITATION TO TRANQUILIZE THE MIND
THE KUNDALINI RESEARCH INSTITUTE “CRISIS KIT”
Dear Ones,
THREE-MINUTE MEDITATION TO TRANQUILIZE THE MIND
Here is a Meditation to Tranquilize the Mind, from the teachings of Yogi Bhajan. It takes only 3 minutes, and works very well for feelings of anxiety occasioned by sensitivity to solar events. It is useful as an adjunct to traditional medicine …
Link: “Healthy, Happy, Holy Organization (3HO)” … https://www.3ho.org/ … Search the term: Meditation to Tranquilize the Mind
This is one of the most effective meditations I know of to tranquilize the mind. I used to use it while teaching beginner kundalini yoga classes many years ago. Nearly instant peace of mind, wow!
Take care to place the fingers in position exactly as described.
The link mentions chanting a mantra. A mantra is a word or word phrase used to regulate one’s own mind. The words of each mantra have a particular quality, rhythm, and effect. In the case of this meditation, since the mantra is to be repeated 11-21 times, all on the same breath, I always used to pick a pretty short mantra. Here are a few possibilities:
“Allah”
“Jehovah”
“Sat Naam” (meaning ‘truth is my name’ or ‘truth is where it’s at’)
“Om” (a name for God immanent and transcendent)
“Amen” (meaning ‘so be it’)
Of course you can use a longer mantra, too. A few examples:
“Jesus Christ, Lord of the Universe” or
“Jesus, Light of My Life” or
“Mother Mary, pray for me” or
“God, please guide me”
But if you use a longer mantra, you will want to repeat it less than 11 times … just keep within your comfort zone.
Keeping within the comfort zone is important for everyone, and especially so for young people and for expectant mothers. I figure, I cannot expect to feel my heart and live my life from love if I cannot allow myself always to be in my comfort zone.

Filmed on 27 July 2014; published on 28 July 2014; transcribed on 9 August 2018 Location: These channelings took place at the motel where I stayed while attending a spiritual concert at Tara Mandala Retreat Center, Pagosa Springs, Colorado.
Here is the third of five videos on the nature spirits, the faeries, and the Devic Realm.
This video is about the relationship of faeries to animals and insects. There is also a little about visits by the Buddha, Shri Neem Karoli Baba Maharaj ji (2), and the angelic realm to a spiritual concert held at Tara Mandala Retreat Center (3) in the outskirts of Pagosa Hot Springs, Colorado. There is a lightly edited Summary after the video.
By the way, if you only have time to see ONE video on Faeries, skip to this blog …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
I was heading off to a spiritual concert out at the Buddhist Retreat Center near here (3), and I was travelling with a couple of friends. And the nature spirits were talking to each other. The couple were completely absorbed in talking with each other, so the nature spirits started up, right? And when it came time to … I do not know if I should tell you this …
But see, the nature spirits are friends with all the animals and insects, and like that. And they like to play with them. They love them very much … even bears. I have talked with them about bears. I am not totally partial to bears, but they say that bears are their friends, and bears are just wonderful, and they just love bears. And so, I am revising my opinions about all animals, because they love them so much.
And so, we were sitting in the car … to avoid the mosquitoes … eating our dinner. And outside was this beautiful scene at the Buddhist Retreat Center, of flowers and wilderness and like that. And the faeries were talking to me. They were so happy to be there! And the people there saw what is known as a ‘hummingbird moth’ by one of the flowers. And they loved it so much! … The faeries brought in about six of them, all at once … The place was just full of hummingbird moths. It was great!
And so anyway, I want to come back to today, ok? … because the concert was great; it was terrific. There were all kinds of beings of Light and Love there. And the people were all so enthralled with higher consciousness, it was really wonderful.
But however, there was quite a lot of clairaudient chatter for me the whole time. And with different entities … with humans …
The nature spirits were standing far off from the building. They said: We don’t go where people go!
And so, I have to agree, it is just not the kind of thing for them. You know?
So then, going back to the concert, let’s see, who was carrying on there? There were people [on the astral plane]. Some ascended masters stopped in … Maharaj Ji, briefly (2) … I do not know if you know him. The Buddha blessed us with a little rocket shower of golden light, three times, right before the concert began. And angels came in; the angels were wonderful. It was a very high evening.
After the concert, as I came back to the place where I stayed tonight, there was some discordant clairaudient chatter … [continued at …]
