Penalties for Shooting Migratory Birds, Including Ravens, Songbirds, and Many Other Types of Birds . by Alice B. Clagett *

What problem? Oh, the problem of ETs on Earth?
But what if the ETs are us humans?
What if all the beings on Earth are ETs?

Then again, what if, as the Buddhists say, all the beings on Earth are humans?
What if, as the Esotericists say, rocks are humans too? My gosh! Rock my world!

Dear Ones,

Just in case there should be a knee-jerk reaction to nuke all the birds in my neighborhood, I looked up penalties for shooting migratory birds. Since these are laws, I think I’m on the safe side to quote verbatim.

Here is what I found out …

Penalties for shooting migratory birds, including Ravens, Songbirds, and many other types of birds are as follows …

“Misdemeanor offenses shall be fines a maximum of $5000 and or imprisoned for not more than six months for individuals, or $10,000 fine for an organization.

“Felony offenses shall be fined maximum of $250,000 and/or imprisoned for not more than two years for an individual or $100,000 for an organization.

“All guns, nets, traps, and other equipment vessels, vehicles, and other means of transportation used by any person while pursuing, hunting, taking, trapping, ensnaring, capturing, killing, or in making any attempt thereof shall be forfeited to the United States and held under the authority of the Secretary of Interior.” — from https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/criminal-provisions-us-criminal-code-title-18-and-other-statutes ..

Here is a List of Migratory Birds covered by the above penalties. Search by name of bird … e.g., Raven. If you find that bird on the list, then the penalties apply. …

If you find a bird on the above list, then the penalties mentioned earlier apply.

There are other laws to which these penalties apply, so even though you don’t find the bird you are searching for on the list, it is possible that your quarry may still net you a hefty fine or prison sentence.

. . . . .

It is a regular land mine out there in our back yards. Better to make a peace offering than to wage war, I feel. For instance, I put up a bird feeder with birdseed in it on the back porch. Seems to work wonderfully well.

Then I tried a hummingbird feeder. That is also a huge success; hummingbirds everywhere!

In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!

INTRODUCTION

Dear Ones,

Here is a nighttime talk on a number of animal topics: The upshot of a raven congress (bad for me!); how baby hawks have been teasing and tricking me; what the grown-up hawks explained about how owls hunt mice; my ideas about how mice and rabbits talk; and my ideas about how we might be able to talk with insects.

There is a Summary after the video …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

[Music]

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

I ran into an interesting workaround for Bird animosity towards human beings yesterday. The prior day I noticed a similarity between the way that a Baby Nanday intones “I LOVE you-u-u” with its parent and the way that a Mother Dolphin intones “I LOVE  you-u-u” to its babies.

And I thought, “Could be this is a universal language for the birds and the humans, since love makes the world go ’round  … Love is the nature of God … Love is the nature of Lightworkers.

And so I went back to the place where the Nandays were. They came on with animosity again …  just a couple of them this time.

So, telepathically I said to them, in the same tone as as the Baby Nandays have towards their Mother … in the same tone as the Mother Dolphin has towards its Babies … I said to them, “I LOVE you-u-u! I LOVE you-u-u!”

And the Nandays said,”No you don’t. (That was vocalizing.) And I said on the telepathic plane, “Yes I do.” And then they weren’t mean to me anymore.

I saw two. I asked them where everybody was that day. I was speaking telepathically and they were responding by vocalizing. They said that everybody was at a banjo concert that was on the same property.

I said, “Oh, how is it?” … because they could hear it even from where I was and I could only hear the deep tones.

They said, “It’s really quite good.” That’s why I missed out on most of the Nandays.

Then I went down near the ocean where I could hear the Pelicans talking, and the Seagulls.

I asked the Pelicans how everything was for them that day.

In a deep, gruff voice, one of the Pelicans complained that the Fish very much disliked being eaten.

The Pelicans thought the Fish ought to have a more positive attitude towards being eaten.

I was not sure what to say about that, so I didn’t say anything at all.

There where I was at the Fish restaurant by the ocean there were two very mean Ravens and they were doing that thing …. that thing that I was scared of from the other place where they bullied around with me and, you know, for all I know might have attacked me … pecked out my eyes or something or tried to … and so I was immediately on the alert.

I’m now a little bit leery of the Ravens.

Since there was the sound of the surf and so forth, I tried vocalizing (I think it was vocally … maybe it was telepathically): “I LOVE you-u-u” … like that.

I can’t say it really high like the Mother Dolphin does. “I LOVE you-u-u.”

First the Ravens were vocalizing their anger … as was the case in the other video that I made. When one of the Ravens heard that “I LOVE you-u-u”: it said: “Humph!” … like that .. “Humph!” … out loud. 

Then the Ravens went off and stopped bothering the people who were sitting outside eating at the restaurant.

I think the Ravens were after the food initially, but then all the time that I was they didn’t bother the people anymore.

So this is what I’m getting at: I think if we can speak on the telepathic plane (if we’re Lightworkers) or else vocalize with our vocal cords “I LOVE you-u-u” when we approach an avian species, then I think we may be getting off on the right track with them. Then we could observe what they say to each other and so forth.

We might be able to talk right along with them then, instead of encountering this extreme antagonism.

I think the antagonism has to do with their species being hunted and killed by human beings.

I’m going to attach a clip or two that shows other species’ vocalization of words ‘I LOVE you-u-u’. and you can compare that to what I’m saying right now. Okay?

First, here’s the Baby Nanday saying to its Mother: “I LOVE you-u-u.” You can hear the strong wind that was blowing as well. 

Baby Nanday: “I LOVE you-u-u.”

So now, here is the Mother Dolphin saying to its Babies “I LOVE you-u-u” …

Mother Dolphin: soothingly says to its babies: “I LOVE you-u-u-u-u!”

Baby Dolphins say: “Momma, I’m SCARED right now!”

Momma Dolphin says in a soothing voice: “I know that you’re scared.”

Baby Dolphin interrupts with: “I’m SCARED, Momma!”

[Music]

So now here is what I came up with. It depends on your own vocal cords … how you would pronounce this, what tone you would use, and what scale you would use … but here’s my attempt at something similar to waht the Mother Dolphin said … “I LOVE you-u-u-u-u!”

You have to say it with an open, clear heart. You can’t say it with anger in your heart.

“I LOVE you-u-u-u-u!”  … “I LOVE you-u-u-u-u!”

“I LOVE you-u-u-u-u!” [in a lower register]

Any of those would do, I think. You can come up with something.

that’s all for now.

God bless you all,
And keep you safe,
And be with you
Through all your days.

In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.

Runes . by Alice B. Clagett *

Runes

Dear Ones,

Runes are sacred symbols that embody the power of creation.

There are various runic alphabets. For instance …

  1. There are Germanic runes, including Elder Futhark, Anglo-Saxon Futhorc, and Younger Futhark
  2. the Elven and Dwarven runes channeled by Tolkien;
  3. the runes or hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt;
  4. the Old Testament and Kabbalah names of God, which have magical and psychical qualities [that must be used for the good of all beings, or else!];
  5. the Tongue of Angels, which is the ‘Enochian’ language channeled by Dr. John Dee;
  6. the healing runes of Reiki, which are written in the air;
  7. the glowing red, cobalt blue, or black runes that some of the Lightworkers have seen on Christed space ships;
  8. the healing languages of Light and sound, which are electromagnetically sculpted or intoned;
  9. bird language of Blue Avian Starseeds which I term Blue Avian Star Beings. These include occasional whistles and clicks, as well as other sounds;
  10. and the yet-to-be-discovered runes through which will unfold our vision of New Life on New Earth.

In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.

9. Blue Avian Starseed Language

I cannot find bird language of Blue Avian Starseeds online yet, but I heard it spoken by a visitor recording during one of Judy Satori’s online events. Here is something about Blue Avian Starseeds … be careful regarding the author, who may be a psychologist or psychiatrist, as people in these professions often speak from a stance of psychology of lack and limitation. When this occurs they are prone to damping down Lightworker and Ascensioneer gifts with pharmaceuticals and physical ‘lockdowns’. You can see cause for concern in this video because of the sketch of a person who appears to be mentally unbalanced. Here is the reference in question, which has to do with Blue Avian Starseed personality … Video: “Unveiling the Enigmatic Blue Avian Starseeds: Galactic Guardians of Awakening,” by Russ Curtis, Ph.D., Professor of Counseling, 7 June 2023  …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5ZYmEr8ksI ..

I am drawn to this video with Blue Avian Starseed language even though it sounds very different from what I heard from the visitor to Judy Satori’s online event … Video: “Blue Avians Light Language Activation – Remember Who You ARE | Starseeds,” by J. Zoltan, 16 November 2020 … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RDge1TvtV8 I note the use of bright aqua symbols and Egyptian bas-reliefs in the video.

Here is another compelling video with hybrid Blue Avian Starseed language being spoken. This one includes a whistle and is intoned a little like Judy Satori’s language of Light … Video: “Blue Avian Light Language Activation,” by Chamera Chan Jong Chu, 3 December 2021 … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSo19TctBu4 ..

Dear Ones,

In the movie series “Eternal Law,” Season 1, Episode 2, take a look at timeframe 25:01 – 25:30

Video: “Eternal Law s01e02,” by Assumpta F, 21 March 2014 … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me71GYinJ-Y ..

There you will see a depiction of a blessing of Light conferred by an angel. The Light in this  special effect is very like the effect we Lightworkers have when we speak an activation of Light.

Lightworkers can also sculpt Light into protective or healing forms. The movie series “Wheel of Time” shows Moiraine Damodred, a member of the Blue Ajah of the Aes Sedai, sculpting red yellow Light to protect a village from an attack by monsters.

In the following video, you can see this protective sculpting of Light at timeframe 1:41-1:44 …

There is also healing energy that may be sculpted of Light. That I feel to be bluish white, like the color of prayer. For a reference to the color of the Light of healing see my poem “That One” …

Immediately Still Incoming ‘Gut Brain’ Telepathy . by Alice B. Clagett *

Dear Ones,

Lately there has been just so much astral chatter … so much incoming ‘gut brain’ telepathy … that it has been distracting, I feel. Today I thought back to the beginning of the last solar cycle, Solar Cycle 24, and how I was listening to various ‘Binaural Beats’ brainwave recordings back then.

I tried ‘manually’ changing the length of the brainwaves I was experiencing from shorter to longer length, to see if that would cause the unwanted telepathic input to let go. It worked partially, so I went back to my library of ‘Binaural Beats’ and tried the theta recording.

I am happy to say it worked immediately, and is working now, although the recording has stopped.

As may be seen from this graph, the wavelengths of brainwaves vary. The brainwave with the longest wavelength is Delta. Then in decreasing length of wave, there are Theta, Alpha, Beta and the shortest wavelength which is Gamma …

gut brain telepathy

Krol, 3 December 2020, in Wikimedia Commons … https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:EEG_Brainwaves.svg … Public Domain … DESCRIPTION: The graph shows rows of brainwaves; the topmost has the longest wavelength, and the bottommost the shortest wavelength. By decreasing wavelength size, the rows (from top) Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.

Krol, 3 December 2020, in Wikimedia Commons … https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:EEG_Brainwaves.svg … Public Domain …

DESCRIPTION: The graph shows rows of brainwaves; the topmost has the longest wavelength, and the bottommost the shortest wavelength. By decreasing wavelength size, the rows (from top) Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.

To get away from bothersome astral chatter and astral stories (aka ‘soap operas’), and especially to escape from an astral telepathic ‘glom’ … or worse, a case of prolonged ‘glom’ such as folie a deux, folie a trois, folie a familie ou couterie … or in the worst possible scenario, to escape from sudden or ongoing ‘mass hysteria’ affecting an astral or physical crowd of people … try using a ‘Binaural Beats’ recording of one of the longer-wavelength brainwaves.

I have tried Theta ‘Binaural Beats’, and find that works immediately for me. If that does not work for you, try one of the other ‘Binaural Beats’ brainwave recordings, until you discover one that is sufficiently different in wavelength from the astral glom underway to allow you to escape the glom.

For instance, after listening to Theta waves for an hour, I stopped, and then found that a person whose normally preferred brainwave apparently is Theta is telepathically adhering to me. Bummer. So I will try switching to another brainwave, soon as I can find one of the CDs. My guess is, that will do the trick, as I feel it likely that not too many people consciously change their brainwave from this to that. To escape the gloms, it is up to you and me to do that, albeit through technology.

If any techno ‘smart aleck’ psychic tries to outsmart you by listening to the same brainwaves as those to which you are listening, try making a CD with random snippets of different brainwaves, like a ‘medley’ of varying wavelengths, and listen to that; I expect that would do the trick.

I have read that these ‘Binaural Beats’ brainwave recordings must be listened to in stereo, or they will not be effective. I have found this to be so as well. However … any port in a storm … if you have no stereo capability, you might try the free youtube ‘Binaural Beats’ Theta or perhaps Delta wave recordings … fingers crossed, and hoping they may work as well.

In love, light and joy
