SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

“How to Pronounce the Word ‘Melee'”
By Alice B. Clagett

Hello, Dear Ones. It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars. I have for you today the correct pronunciation of this word: m-e-l-e-e.

In some of my posts on my website “Awakening with Planet Earth” … https://awakeningwithplanetearth.com … you may have heard me pronounce this word ‘meh-LEE’ … or worse yet, MEE-LEE. I found out that the correct pronunciation is MAY-lay. MAY-lay. And what is the meaning of this word? It means a brawl, a hand-to-hand fight, or a confused struggle. Generally, it’s thought of as a struggle amongst three or four people, but could be more.

I’m put in mind of my grandfather, Royden Douglas or Douglass Clagett (1881-1937). That’s he on the left there.  And I, as a child, am on the right. You can see a family resemblance there.

My grandfather Royden Douglas Clagett was married to the love of his life, Alice Dolores (Delores) Clagett Clagett (1885-1972), after whom I am named.

. . . . .

He must have been a dashing guy. I recall a family story that when the first Ben Hur movie came out, a black and white movie … “Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ,” released in December 2025 … he hired on as an extra. And I can imagine that the scene in which he appeared was a melee of sorts, but with many more people in it than the usual melee.

He must have been deeply beloved by my grandmother, Alice Clagett. She had seven sons by him and never married again after his early passing.

God bless you all,
And keep you safe,
And be with you
Through all your days … through all the melees, and through all the happy days.

100B Stars in Our Galaxy – and Still No Sign of Anyone Else? . by Alice B. Clagett

100B Stars in Our Galaxy - and Still No Sign of Anyone Else?

. . . . .

Dear Ones,

I was just watching the trailer for the 2019 movie “Clara” and I heard the astronomer say something that I paraphrased in the title of this post: “100B stars in our galaxy – and still no sign of anyone else?

Then someone on the astral airs said: Where should we look?

And I said: Here!

He said: They’re all the same on every planet?

And I said: It depends on the planetary conditions. They’re all here on Earth, but some are manifest, tailored to life on Earth as it is today. Others are here, but waiting till Earth conditions change so that they may manifest in physical form.

This premise is the basis of my website. But I am pleased to say it took the questions from the person on the telepathic plane just now to pry out of me what that premise is. My thanks to that gentleman!

Lately I’ve been sifting through “Cause of Cambrian Explosion – Terrestrial or Cosmic?” by Edward J. Steele et al. (see reference below). They say that the dust clouds of space contain extraterrestrial biological materials — organic molecules, parts of viruses, and bacteria throughout the Universe.

So by extension, if what Steele et al. say is true, then my premise is clearly worth considering. I myself am convinced of it.

Look at the vast variety of life on Earth! From which unknown planet did each group of plants and animals derive? Then, let us look for similar life on planets similar to our own.

Look at the vast variety of life on planets unlike our own. We could start, for instance, with the planets in our Solar System.

  • What groups of plants and animals here on Earth derive from these planets?
  • What groups of plants and animals on the other planets in our Solar System are simply waiting for a chance to create similar life on Earth, when Earth’s conditions become more like their own?
  • What will jappen to the groups of plants and animals on Earth when Earth becomes uninhabitable for them? Will they appear on other planets in our Solar System?

All this is but a microcosm of life in the Solar Systems of the Universe, is it not? So then by studying Earth plants and animals we can infer the likelihood of understandable lifeforms on other planets and in other Solar Systems. Can we not?

Suspending your disbelief, why not take another look at these two blog categories, with a view to understanding extraterrestrial life through examination of and communication with lifeforms on Earth?

Movie Review: “The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising” . by Alice B. Clagett

Movie Review: "The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising"

. . . . .

Dear Ones,

Quite recently I saw the movie “The Seeker” The Dark Is Rising”

Link: “The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising (2007),” director David L. Cunningham, in IMDb …  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0484562/ ..

I liked the movie, and thought you might like it too. I bought it on Amazon.com … and it may be available other places as well.

I saw some congruences with my own work, and thought I would point them out to my Readers. I like congruences, as I see the hand of God in them, telling me something I might otherwise never notice. Here goes …

Everyone knows what a timestamp is, right? There is a bar at the bottom of youtube videos where you can click to begin viewing different times in the video. This bar has different names: Progress bar, Seek bar, or Scrubber bar, for instance. A timestamp is the place on the Progress bar where you place your cursor so as to access a specific scene in the movie. I’ll be using timestamps below so that you can easily find the scenes to which I refer.

The young man gets arrested by store security guards near the beginning of the movie. There are quick flashes during this premonitory scene …

0:16:45 – 0:17:36 … There is a very, very quick flash of one of the security guards’ faces turning reptoid.  I hunted it down frame-by-frame because the flash-by was so intriguing. That reminded me of my blog category: Reptoids … The Contents page containing this category link is “Contents: Human Hybrids and Their Overlighting Spirits”
https://awakeningwithplanetearth.com/contents-human-hybrids-and-their-overlighting-spirits/ ..

0:17:33 and following … quick flash of of a reptile’s toes clinking reminded me of my poem by that name … Link: “The Clink of a Reptile’s Toes,” a fanciful poem by Alice B. Clagett, written and published on 11 February 2018; revised on 2 July 2026 … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-8lU ..

0:32:40 and following …This passage reminds me of my stories about being afraid of the Dark in my childhood and of my song “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark”Link: “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark,” stories and song by Alice B. Clagett, written and published on 10 June 2014; revised and republished on 27 December 2017 … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-89C ..

0:40:60 and following … There is reference to a cross within a circle, which is reminiscent of the Saint Benedict Exorcism Medal and also of the Christian “Sign of the Cross” which may be conceived as sanctifying and protecting the more-or-less spherical human energy field … Link: “Exorcism: Sign of the Cross and Prayer of Saint Benedict,” by Alice B. Clagett, filmed on 31 March 2016; published on 11 April 2016; revised on 24 March 2023 … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-54D .. 

The cross within the circle also reminds me of Thoth and the “Emerald Tablets” and of the Egyptian Ankh.  More on these here … Link: “The Emerald Tablets of Thoth: The Cross and the Circle,” by Alice B. Clagett, written and published on 26 March 2015; revised on 2 July 2026 … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-58vEXCERPT: “The cross in the circle of which Thoth speaks shows temporospatial reality overcome by the circle of faith, the circle of the All, all spaces, all times, all possible worlds.”

0:43:25 – 0:43:40 … This scene shows Darkworkers in a Christian congregation. It reminds me of a similar experience I had in the year 2024 at a local Christian church. Here is the writeup on my experience there … Link: “Alice’s Perilous Tales: Why Do Trans Stalk?” by Alice B. Clagett, filmed and published on 18 January 2024; revised on 19 January 2024 and on 23 March 2026 … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-wiRCOMMENTS: The images in the post are intentionally changed from what really occurred so that I can steer clear of the clutches of Dark Lawsuits. (I’m sure you Lightworkers know about this.)

0:45:46 and following … I note the depiction of Ravens as Evil Beings. I myself don’t actually believe that. I find them intelligent and intriguing and ever-learning-new-things. Sometimes they try to do evil things. For instance, in the last year another being … whether Hawk or Human, I cannot say … convinced the Young Ravens to dive bomb me while I went for a swim. The Evil Instigator Being tried to get them to peck out my eyes while I was in the swimming poole, but I spoke to them kindly and in a friendly way. One of the Ravens dove down close to my swimming form, but changed his mind and joined his friends on the nearby utility pole.

From my many interactions with Ravens, I feel them to be … like mose other Birds and Mammals … susceptible to the Dark, but yearning for the Light. Consequently I cannot paint the Ravens dark without using the same shade on my fellow Man. More on my Raven encounters in my blog category: Ravenshttps://wp.me/P2Rkym-h2n ..

01:30:25 and following … Will Stanton says, “I have restored the power of the Light.” That is a Lightworker motto if ever there was one, is it not? For more on Lightworkers and their many trials and tribulations (and how they manage to overcome them), see my blog category: Lightworkers – gatekeepers – pathfinders – wayshowers – starseed – sentinels – seershttps://wp.me/P2Rkym-5E8 ..

New Category: Darkworkers – Darkfriends – opposite of Lightworkers . by Alice B. Clagett

To turn off the background music, click once or twice on the arrow on the audio bar at the bottom of the page …

Dear Ones,

I have added a new category: Darkworkers – Darkfriends – opposite of Lightworkers https://wp.me/P2Rkym-FRM ..

This is under the subcategory “Psychic Terrorists” …

The subcategory “Psychic terrorists” is under the large category “Transcending the Dark – Courage Under Fire – Spiritual Warfare – Demon Wars” … https://wp.me/P2Rkym-n4G ..

DARKFRIENDS ~ DARKWORKERS ~ LIGHTWORKERS ~ SOUL MISSIONS

The word Darkfriends is used in the television series “The Wheel of Time” in a way that is quite similar to my use of the word Darkworkers as the opposite of Lightworkers.

Google AI is using the word Darkworkers incorrectly from the stance of readers of my website. Their use of the word aligns with the idea of Shadow work or cleansing the Shadow as these terms are used in psychology and psychiatry.

My use of the term Darkworkers has to do with a Soul mission to promote the Dark that characterizes the third and fourth dimensions of Old Earth … as compared with the Lightworker Soul mission to further the Light of the higher dimensions that characterize Ascending Earth.

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.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!

Are Lightworkers Like Aes Sedai? . by Alice B. Clagett

Are Lightworkers Like Aes Sedai?

  • INTRODUCTION
  • ARE LIGHTWORKERS LIKE AES SEDAI?
  • DO LIGHTWORKERS INCLUDE BOTH MEN AND WOMEN?
  • CONCLUSION

INTRODUCTION

Dear Ones,

Are Lightworkers like the Aes Sedai in the television series “The Wheel of Time”?

I asked Google AI about this …


ARE LIGHTWORKERS LIKE AES SEDAI?

I asked Google AI: In the ‘The Wheel of Time’ television series, are Aes Sedai like Lightworkers?

Google AI said: “Yes, Aes Sedai in The Wheel of Time are very much like ‘Lightworkers’ in their function, as powerful female magic users channeling the ‘One Power’ for good (mostly), but they are a structured, political, and sometimes feared organization with specific rules, distinct from general ‘Lightworkers’, often divided by their ‘Ajah’(like the Green for battle or Blue for justice), and some are even secretly evil (Black Ajah). They wield elemental magic (Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Spirit) and are seen as protectors of the world, despite public suspicion. 

Key Similarities to ‘Lightworkers’:

  • Channel the Power: They manipulate the fundamental energy of creation, the One Power, to perform magic.
  • Force for Good: Many Aes Sedai (especially Blue, Green, Yellow Ajahs) fight for justice and against the Dark One, acting as protectors.
  • Serve a Greater Purpose: They aim to guide the world and fight the forces of darkness, similar to ‘Lightworkers’ serving the Light.

Key Differences & Nuances:

  • Structured Organization: They live in the White Tower and follow strict rules (Three Oaths).
  • Ajahs: They belong to different factions (Ajahs) with specific goals, like the Brown (knowledge), White (philosophy), and Green (battle).
  • The Black Ajah: A significant portion (around 20%) secretly serves the Dark One, adding internal conflict and suspicion.
  • Public Perception: People fear and distrust them, viewing them as manipulative or dangerous, even when they help. 

In essence, they are powerful magic wielders aligned with the forces of Light, but their strict society, internal corruption, and political influence make them more complex than a simple ‘Lightworker’ archetype.”


DO LIGHTWORKERS INCLUDE BOTH MEN AND WOMEN?

I asked Google AI: In Lightworker lore, do Lightworkers include both men and women?

Google AI said: “Yes, in Lightworker lore, Lightworkers include both men and women, as the designation is based on soul mission, energy frequency, and consciousness rather than gender. 

Key details from Lightworker lore regarding this include:

  • Inclusivity: Anyone who feels a calling to help, heal, and bring ‘light’ (positive energy, love, and awareness) to the world can be considered a Lightworker.
  • Soul Purpose: Lightworkers are considered souls who volunteered to incarnate on Earth to aid in raising its vibration, regardless of whether they are in a male or female body.
  • Energy, Not Gender: The concept emphasizes that ‘Lightworker’ is a frequency, a calling, and a mindset—not a gendered role.
  • Diverse Representation: While discussions on twin flames sometimes highlight the Divine Feminine in the initial awakening, the overall lore acknowledges that these roles are filled by all genders. 

Lightwork is described as an action or a way of living—such as being a compassionate, supportive, or guiding force—rather than a specific, gender-segregated role.”


CONCLUSION

Are Lightworkers like the Aes Sedai? Yes and no.

The Lightworker role is in quite like that of the Aes Sedai women. But Lightworkers, unlike the Aes Sedai, may be both men and women.

That the Aes Sedai are only women, and that men in the television series are subjugated by these women, may have misled people into thinking that Lightworkers want to subjugate men.

This may have caused a knee-jerk reaction where men with subjugational Soul wounding may seek to combat and subjugate Lightworkers. They may do so using either black magic or physical aggression, or both.

There are Lightworkers who are women, and Lightworkers who are men. We don’t fight each other; rather, we support and encourage each other.

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