Dear Ones,

If the astral chatter gets too intense, here is a visualization / meditation that may help …

VISUALIZATION / MEDITATION TO STILL THE ASTRAL CHATTER

How to Do It

Imagine that you are slowly and smoothly breathing in and out through your nose, but your nose is now located at your right eye (or your right ear, if you prefer). When you breath in and out, imagine you can feel the air going into, and then out of, your right eye (or your right ear) …

As you breathe this way, count the inhalations of the breath from one to five; then repeat, counting to five over and over again.

Benefits

Through the imagined relocation of the nose, the visualization directs prana  to your right brain. That side of the brain has to do with living in the ‘Now’, and not with cause-and-effect, which is what creates a timeline (whether a physical timeline or an astral timeline). The right brain does not support the notion of temporal limitation, or confinement of Awareness within a timeline created through a cause-and-effect construct. The right brain does not create or support the astral chatter or astral stories that glom and propagate in the noosphere, as these stories depend on cause and effect, and upon an imaginary or astral ‘timeline’. When Awareness is placed on the right brain, the notions of cause-and-effect … the notion of time itself … drops away. We are left with the freedom to react in multitemporal reality, which is, in fact, the understanding of Earth herself right now.

I have noticed that some of the astral chatter comes from the construct ‘geography’ … the notion of dimensional limitation. For instance, it may have to do with the thought that we cannot avoid astral chatter with our neighbors, or maybe our family. In our left brains, we have the notion that we are chained to our homes, and therefore chained to our families or to the people with whom we life, or to the people who live near us. These are left-brain cause-and-effect notions based on physical reality … on seeing other people around us, for instance.

But our energy body is a discrete, singular entity in relation …. not to our family or to our neighbors … but rather in relation to Spirit, to our Soul, to that Divine Spark within us. Thus the left-brain notion of territorial confinement, like its notion of temporal confinement, is but an artificial construct.

The right brain does not support the construct ‘geography’ … the notion of dimensional limitation, or confinement of Awareness within geographic boundaries. Thus by generating pranic flow into and out of the right brain, we circumvent the artificial left-brain construct ‘geography’.

The feral drives (pack instincts) of sexual aggression and territorial aggression: female competition and male competition; striving between family members or neighbors for female dominance, male dominance, or one-upmanship; notions of males flocking together and bonding, or of females doing so; notions that packs of neighborhood men ought to ejaculate together on the astral plane, or that packs of neighborhood women ought to climax together; striving for alpha or relegation to beta pack ordering; and shunning of a ‘pariah’ or ‘sin-eater’ as an outcast from the imagined astral pack … these all have to do with notions of physical geographic limitations developed in Stone Age times, when there were only about 50,000 human beings on Earth.

For survival purposes, these people aggregated into clans whose members lived in close proximity. Our current notions of geographic limitations with regard to the people we know have to do with feral drive hardwiring written into our subconscious minds in Stone Age and also in much earlier times. These instinctual notions roam through our dreamtime realm and through our astral realm, roping down our astral chatter to subconsciously perceived geographic restrictions.

But when Awareness is placed on the right brain, the notions of clan and tribe, of subconscious instinctual behaviors, drops away. We are left with the freedom to react in multidimensional reality, which is, in fact, where Earth herself resides right now.

Counting along with the breath is a famous Zen Buddhist form of meditation, and one that I like very much. I have noticed, though, that when I count along with the breath while placing my Awareness on the left brain, I am quickly cut short by the tendency of the left brain to step into my counting process with cause-and-effect stories that seem ‘juicier’ or more emotionally fulfilling than the dry notion of repeatedly counting to five or 10.

The above meditation circumvents these left-brain sabotage efforts of my left brain and leaves the field of my mind clear to create the numeric repetitions without interruption. Thus for long intervals (to get temporal about it) I can waylay the astral chatter through a visualization and meditation that moves me from temporospatial misery and enchainment … as in a sad or scary Hollywood movie … to a right brain space of effortless temporospatial freedom.

In love, Light, and joy,
I Am of the Stars

Dear Ones,

Here is a video on black magic covens. I filmed it so that people who are, all unawares, members of the extended groups whose secret core is black magicians, may exercise discernment and right judgment in their group affiliations. There is an edited Summary after the video.

This video may have to do with Witchy Woman, Castratrux – Basal Vampire, and others; Dank, Femme Fatale – Dominatrix, and others; or The Maldekian and others. It seemed to me in 2015 and 2016 that there were gloms of cells of six on the psychic plane. Then in 2016-2018, a cell of 15, to do with the Heart Vampire and others, appeared on the astral plane.

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

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

The Hidden Black Magic Coven: Cells of Six

Summer Solstice 2018 is almost upon us. The Light is magnificent, even in Los Angeles. And I have a story to explain about a form of Black Magic that is being practiced, today, in the world, where six Black Magicians or Sorcerers … could be all in the same group, most likely … might be alliances amongst groups, if the going gets tough …  form a Hidden Black Magic Coven … six people.

Could be, for instance, three men and three women. Before the world, they appear to be very respectable people; often, very accomplished spiritual people, I think. Or they could have some other calling that is well respected.

These are very powerful Sorcerers; but, they need a front organization that will take the fall, in case the issue of Black Magic is uncovered by other people … and the damage that is being done to people, surreptitiously, through psychic crime comes to Light.

………………..
Sidebar: Wizards versus Sorcerers

Note that I use the word ‘Wizard‘ to mean a person versed in White Magic. The word ‘Sorcerer‘ has a general meaning as a person versed in Magic, both White Magic and Black Magic. But as a handy way of distinguishing the one practice from the other, I use the word ‘Sorcerer’ to mean a person versed in Black Magic.

………………..

The Overt Black Magic Group: Mind Controlled ‘Fall Guys’ and ‘Patsies’

So they form another group … the Overt Black Magic Group … that could be six people or more; and which meet, say once a month, say, on the full moon … I am not too ‘up’ on Black Magic get-togethers.

These are people to whom they promise to teach Black Magic … and techniques that will make them powerful … but to whom they only teach a tiny bit of Black Magic; enough to get them to believe that they are on the road to being very powerful Sorcerers.

And these people they mind control into doing the Satanic acts for which they themselves do not want to get caught.

Black Magic Roundup: Inner Circle versus Outer Circle

The essence of the situation, bare bones, is …

  • You have a secret Sorcerer’s group … maybe six people … maybe three men and three women;
  • And in front of that, before the public eye, is the Overt Black Magic Group, the Satanic cult that will take the fall for any psychic crimes conceived of by the secret, Hidden Black Magic Group

Call to Action, Summer Solstice 2018: Lightworker Assemblies to Balance Light and Dark During This Great Age of Light

To counter this, I believe, what we need is a group of people … Lightworkers … I would think twelve would be good … to counter each of these groups. Light against Dark.

We need an inner core of six very dedicated Lightworkers, and it would be good if there were people who are learning from them how to help balance and maintain Light in the world. These people might constitute the additional number needed to get up to twelve. That is my thought on it.

Few people in the world today have thought about the need for Light to balance Dark. And so, coming into the Great Age of Light, that is what is going to be happening, I feel. People will begin to sense the need for Lightworker assemblies that will help counter the Darkness here on Earth, and bring it back into equilibrium and balance and harmony.

Now is the time, here at Summer Solstice 2018. We can extend our hands to other Lightworkers, in open and warm greeting, and help to co-create the unity and harmony of New Life on New Earth.

Sorcerers Deal in Power and Hatred

Now you may be wondering: How would you know the difference between a Sorcerer’s group, and a Lightworker’s group? You may be asking this from the outside, looking in. I will tell you one hallmark of a Sorcerer’s group: Sorcerers deal in Power. They are always trying to get one up, one on the other; and to take down each other. As soon as a Sorcerer begins to feel a little bit weak, another Sorcerer will try to end his life.

There is a lot of turnover in the Sorcerer realm. People are always trying to kill people. People are always warring against other people. There are a lot of schisms and factions. And in general, there is bad faith amongst people.

It is not unusual to find an inner circle of Black Magic people preying upon the laity (that is, preying upon those who are not strong in Sorcery) in their congregation … maybe even arranging for psychic murder, so that they can scoop up the wealth of those people, and keep it for themselves. And preying upon people in the extended group … in the greater group … through stimulation of the feral drives; in other words, by increasing the Soul wounding of their own congregations, so that they may profit by it, in some way.

Lightworkers Feel Love and Envision Abundance for All

Lightworkers, on the other hand, are the exact opposite. They are always supporting each other, and promoting each other. And feeling love for each other. And helping each other grow in grace and wisdom and abundance.

How to Distinguish a Sorcerer’s Group from a Lightworker’s Group

Here is how you can tell the difference between a Sorcerer’s group, which brings in the Dark; and a Lightworker’s group, who bring in the Light: Lightworkers altogether cherish humankind. Sorcerers do the exact opposite; they are what you might call a ‘Psychic Hate Group’. I would not say they are ‘skinheads’, but rather a Psychic Hate Group. The thing of it is: A sorcerer, in the marrow of his bones, hates everyone. He revels in destruction, and death, and chaos. That is what Sorcerers do.

In the old days … long, long ago … the tradition of Sorcery was different from that. Sorcerers would align with a kingdom, and help the kingdom to survive through the tough times. There were a lot of wars on Earth, and Sorcerers did that.

But these days, Sorcery has degenerated to a very warring-within state; no doubt, because the Incoming Light is creating a sense of upset. The notion that there is not very much Dark left, has to be consternating to a Black Magic group.

In love, light and joy,
I Am of the Stars

Unconscious Symbolism: ‘Getting Popped’ . by Alice B. Clagett

Written and published on 3 October 2017
Subconscious metaphor: Getting ‘popped’

  • Unconscious Symbolism: ‘Getting Popped’
  • Male Competition, Alpha Male Ordering, Dominance and Submission, and Ideation about Rectal Intercourse
  • Early Childhood Abuse and Nurturing: Conflicted Feelings Regarding Sexuality in Adulthood
  • Popping the Champagne Cork … That ‘Effervescent’ Thing
  • Conclusion

Dear Ones,

Unconscious Symbolism: ‘Getting Popped’

I once heard a story, on the astral plane, about a person who enjoyed being the recipient of rectal intercourse. He called it ‘getting popped’ …

Male Competition, Alpha Male Ordering, Dominance and Submission, and Ideation about Rectal Intercourse

I wondered about that for a long time, because this whole phenomenon of rectal intercourse is a very interesting social phenomenon right now … to do with quite a few energy trends … economic trends and so forth, and issues of male competition, male alpha ordering and dominance and submission … Just a lot of things going on with regard to that issue of rectal intercourse, in addition to the health problems, which are severe at this moment, and threaten the whole society. So I’ve been looking into it.

Early Childhood Abuse and Nurturing: Conflicted Feelings Regarding Sexuality in Adulthood

But anyway, here’s the story: It suddenly occurred to me today that this thing about ‘getting popped’ might have to do with an early childhood experience of having been rectally raped by his father (his ‘pop’). And that he missed his father. And so the act of ‘getting popped’ brought back the conflicting feeling that he was being cared for by his father.

On the psychic plane, the image that his subconscious mind conveyed when he was ‘getting popped’, was like the cork coming out of a champagne bottle:

Popping the Champagne Cork … That ‘Effervescent’ Thing

To the recipient’s subconscious mind, the sexual organ of the person who was performing the rectal intercourse was like the fizz … the ‘effervescence’ emitted from a champagne bottle. The entire body … but especially the eyes … of the recipient, popped out like the cork in this image, were it laid on its side, horizontally …

Image: Cork coming out of a champagne bottle, along with fizz, https://i.pinimg.com/736x/31/15/6f/31156f5e8655bf56276c8de1c91bfa61.jpg ..

I note there is also 20th century artwork associating a sexual feeling to the popping of a champagne cork …

Conclusion

So here is a very good instance of a subconscious metaphor, that others may also have used from time to time.

In love, light and joy,
I Am of the Stars

Competition . by Alice B. Clagett

Filmed on 2 March 2017; published on 13 March 2017

  • VIDEO BY ALICE
  • SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
    • Male Competition and the Feral Instinct to Order Dominance/Submission
    • Male Bonding During War
    • Female Competition

Dear Ones,

Here is a video about territorial aggression, domination/submission in feral packs, and also male and female competition. A Summary follows the video …

VIDEO BY ALICE

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

I have some thoughts on …

  • territorial aggression, which is one of those drives expressed through the reptilian mind,
  • and also about domination/submission, and the order of alpha and beta males in feral packs … which is deeply buried in the subconscious mind of human beings as well
  • and also some thoughts about competition … business competition, national competition, and so forth, with regard to war.

Male Competition and the Feral Instinct to Order Dominance/Submission

Basically, I think that male competition, in its many aspects, has to do with the feral instinct to order the dominance among male members of a pack, such as a wolf pack or a primate pack. Competition, I feel, establishes the pecking order for men: Who is at the very top? Who is an alpha male? Who is a beta male? Who is beneath that beta male, as a ‘sub-beta’ male?

This feral drive still expresses itself in our societies on Earth. It’s toned down a little, so men usually don’t kill each other. Business competition … that economic model … is based on that drive.

But in New Life on New Earth, I feel that competition will express itself more as the challenge of who can do a particular thing better; who can do it the best for the world? And not so much men fighting other men, and achieving control over them, or damaging them in some way, or putting them out of business, or doing a hostile takeover of their corporation, and so forth.

I feel all those things will slowly go by the wayside as we achieve unity and harmony on Earth.

Male Bonding During War

I also wanted to talk a little bit about the experience of male bonding during wartime. I know that many men who have been to war look back, as veterans, to those times as being cherished memories of male bonding, where competition was no longer a factor; where men stood together with one purpose and were comrades together.

I think that one of the main good features of war is that it allows men to form fast friendships, one with the other. Of course, there’s a great cost there, because the friendships that men form as a troop or platoon or unit are in the interest of male competition against another group of people … from, say another nation, or with another philosophy, or the like.

So men band together, with a pact to be friends and comrades in a common cause. And that common cause is the greater concept of male competition between groups.

Again I feel that, on New Earth, war will slowly become a thing of the past. That opens a whole new avenue for men, to consider how they will relate to each other, if they don’t relate in terms of dominance/submission or in terms of male competition.

How will it be for men, in New Life on New Earth? How will they perceive each other? How will they relate to each other? It’s going to be a completely different ball game. And I feel it’s up to them, to figure out how they’re going to step forward and into that thing. That should be very interesting.

Female Competition

Of course, there’s also the issue of female competition … female domination/submission. But I am going to save that for another day, because it results in less turbulence in the noosphere right now. It’s a subordinate goal, I feel, but a very interesting one, and one for us women to consider. How will we get along in true sisterhood, instead of through a pecking order or trying to take our spouses from each other, and these amazing soap opera things that occasionally go on in the world today.

So there is that. I wish you all a very happy solar wind experience. I will speak with you all another time.

In love, light and joy,
I Am of the Stars
