INTRODUCTION

Dear Ones,

This is a talk with Google AI about the ethics of doing harm for a good cause. I found it utterly intriguing.

Here is a Summary of the questions asked and answered in the section “ETHICS OF DOING HARM FOR A GOOD CAUSE” below …

  • I asked Google AI: What do you call it when a person harms another person and justifies this with the notion that God condones this … or else He would not have allowed it?
    • Google AI’s reply touched on Spiritual Abuse, Weaponization of Faith, Theodicity of Evil, Divine Mandate, Providential Fallacy, and Religious Narcissism, among others.
  • I asked Google AI: What if a person feels that to steal another person’s money would be a good act if he donates the money to his church or cause?
    • Google Ai’s reply mentioned on The “Robin Hood” Complex, Pious Fraud, Moral Laudation, and “Doing evil that good may come.”
  • Google AI asked: Would you like to explore the legal perspective on this—such as whether “noble intent” can be used as a defense in court—or perhaps look at historical examples of “Pious Frauds”? [I said: Yes.]
    • Google AI’s reply touched on “Motive” vs. “Intent,” historical Examples of “Pious Frauds” [which I found intriguing], and the “Problem of Dirty Hands,” among others.
  • I asked Google AI: What if a person feels that to harm another person would be a good act if it benefits his church or cause, provided that he asks someone unscrupulous to do the harm.The person who hopes to benefit his church or cause might say that he himself is a good person who lives a virtuous life, and an evil action would not become him.
    But the unscrupulous person is already set on an evil path; thus an evil action would suit him.

    • Google AI mentioned Moral Delegation or Vicarious Agency; The “Clean Hands” Fallacy; Moral Outsourcing; The “Instrumentalization” of Others; and “The King’s Silence,” among others.
  • Google AI asked: Would you like to look into how modern “RICO” laws or “Command Responsibility” in international law handle people who order harm while claiming to be “virtuous” leaders? [I said: Yes.]
    • Google AI touched on RICO; Command Responsibility; and Accomplice and Vicarious Liability, among others.
  • Google AI asked: Would you like to examine how the law distinguishes between a “direct order” and “implied permission” (the “meddlesome priest” scenario) in modern criminal trials? [I said: Yes.]
    • Google AI touched on the “Plausible Deniability” Barrier and Stochastic Terrorism.
  • I asked Google AI: What if a person feels that to harm another person would be a good act if it benefits his church or cause, provided that others agree to help him do so?For instance, a lawyer might agree to stand by the first person and bear false witness as to the actions of the person to be harmed. Another person might agree to take pictures of the meeting from afar. Another person might agree to intimidate the person to be harmed.
    And so, with several people acting together, then each might be absolved of what harm may occur?

    • Google AI described Conspiracy and “Pinkerton” Liability … and Diffusion of Responsibility and “Groupthink.”
  • I said: Google AI, Thanks for answering these questions.
    I had a feeling … a sort of ‘niggling’ feeling … that these ways of thinking must have ‘a hitch in the works’. But I couldn’t figure out just what the hitch was. Now I am much clearer on each of these questions.
    I think the trouble I have is this: When I find that a person is set on doing harm and feels quite within his rights to do so, then I never know how to address this, or whether I had best leave it alone entirely, and just walk away. Being shy and retiring, I’m inclined to the latter.

    • Google AI then explained when to engage and when to walk away. It also mentioned the “Gray Rock” Technique.
  • Google AI asked: Would you like to explore specific “scripts” or phrases you can use to end a conversation with such a person without escalating the situation? [I said: Yes.]
    • Google AI then described “Gray Rock” scripts, “Exit Ramp” scripts, and Setting a Firm Boundary.

ETHICS OF DOING HARM FOR A GOOD CAUSE

Dear Ones,

I asked Google AI: What do you call it when a person harms another person and justifies this with the notion that God condones this … or else He would not have allowed it?

Google AI said: This behavior is most accurately described as spiritual abuse or the weaponization of faith. 

When a person harms another and justifies it by claiming God allows it—often using the twisted logic that if God did not want it to happen, He would have stopped it—they are engaging in a form of religious manipulation that seeks to absolve the perpetrator of guilt while silencing the victim. 

Here is a breakdown of the terms and concepts associated with this behavior:

  1. Spiritual Abuse and Religious Manipulation

This occurs when someone in a position of authority (or simply a stronger person) uses scripture, doctrine, or “God’s will” to control, shame, or inflict damage on another person. 

  • Weaponized Faith: Turning religious beliefs into a tool to harm others.
  • “God-Talk” as a Weapon: Using religious jargon to make abusive actions sound holy or necessary. 
  1. The Theological Justification (Theodicy Misuse)

The belief that “if God didn’t want it to happen, He wouldn’t have allowed it” is a misuse of theodicy (the study of why a good God allows evil). Perpetrators often twist the concepts of divine sovereignty and omnipotence, arguing that their actions are either directly willed by God or implicitly endorsed by Him. 

  1. Key Psychological and Behavioral Drivers
  • Cognitive Distortion/Rationalization: The perpetrator distorts religious teachings to avoid seeing themselves as evil.
  • Perpetrator Projection: The abuser acts out their own violent nature and projects the responsibility onto God.
  • “Holy” Rationalization: They may frame their actions as acts of “judgment” or “correction”. 
  1. Other Related Terms
  • Spiritual Bypassing: Using spiritual ideas to avoid dealing with uncomfortable emotions or immoral behaviors.
  • “Theodicy of Evil”: A theological framework that attempts to make the existence of an all-powerful, all-good God consistent with the existence of evil, which abusers often twist to mean that their actions are part of a divine plan. 

In summary, this is a form of spiritual abuse where the perpetrator uses the concept of divine sovereignty to legitimize harmful, violent, or controlling behavior. 

DIVING DEEPER

That is a complex and troubling psychological and theological phenomenon. Depending on whether you are looking at it from a psychological, logical, or religious perspective, there are a few different terms for it. 

  1. Divine Mandate or “Divine Sanction”

This is the general term for the belief that an action—even a violent one—is authorized by a higher power. When someone uses this to justify harm, they are claiming Divine Sanction, effectively arguing that they are an instrument of God’s will. 

  1. The “Providential Fallacy”

This specifically addresses the logic you mentioned: “If God didn’t want this to happen, He would have stopped it.”

  • The Logic: It assumes that because an event occurred, it must be part of God’s plan or have His “stamp of approval.”
  • The Flaw: Most theological frameworks argue for Free Will, suggesting that God allows humans to make evil choices without endorsing the choices themselves. 
  1. Moral Justification (Psychological Perspective)

In psychology, specifically Albert Bandura’s theory of Moral Disengagement, this is a form of “Moral Justification.” By linking a harmful act to a “divine” or “noble” purpose, the perpetrator reinterprets the act as something positive or necessary, which protects them from feeling guilt or self-condemnation. 

  1. Religious Malignant Narcissism

In more extreme clinical or social contexts, if a person consistently uses God to justify their own abusive behavior, it is often referred to as Spiritual Abuse or Religious Narcissism. This is when a person “co-opts” the authority of God to maintain power and control over others. 

Summary Table

Term  Perspective Core Argument
Fatalism Philosophical Everything that happens is predestined; therefore, no action is “wrong” if it occurs.
Divine Command Theory Ethical An action is “good” simply because God commanded it (often misused by extremists).
Spiritual Bypass Psychological Using religious ideas to avoid personal responsibility or emotional healing.
Theodicy (Misapplied) Theological Attempting to justify why a good God allows evil, sometimes twisted to justify the evil itself.

Note: Most mainstream religions view this logic as a form of presumption or even blasphemy, as it claims to know the mind of God and uses the Divine to excuse human cruelty.

Would you like me to look into how specific philosophical traditions (like Stoicism or Calvinism) address the idea of “God’s Will” versus human accountability? [I decided not to ask about this.]

I asked Google AI: What if a person feels that to steal another person’s money would be a good act if he donates the money to his church or cause?

Google AI said: That specific mindset is often referred to as “Ends-Justify-The-Means” reasoning, but when it involves a religious or “noble” cause, it enters more specialized territory. 

In ethics and psychology, this is known as Moral Justification through Prosocial Framing. Here is a breakdown of how this thinking works:

  1. The “Robin Hood” Complex

This is the psychological tendency to believe that breaking a law or moral code is virtuous because the outcome benefits a “higher” group or cause. The individual rebrands themselves from a “thief” to a “provider” or “crusader.”

  1. Moral Washing (or “Pious Fraud”)

Historically, the term Pious Fraud was used to describe someone who commits a deceptive or harmful act (like stealing or lying) under the belief that it will ultimately serve a religious truth or a greater spiritual good. 

  1. Moral Laudation

In the framework of Moral Disengagement, this is called Moral Laudation. This occurs when:

  • The harmful act (theft) is stripped of its negative label.
  • The act is replaced with a “pious” label (offering, sacrifice, or tithing).
  • The perpetrator feels a sense of moral superiority rather than guilt. 
  1. Teleological Ethics (Misapplied)

From a philosophical standpoint, this person is practicing a corrupted form of Utilitarianism or Teleology. They argue that the “Teleos” (the end goal—funding the church) outweighs the “Deontological” rule (the duty—”Thou shalt not steal”). 

The Theological Perspective

Most religious traditions strongly reject this logic. In Christian theology, for example, this is often addressed through the concept of “Doing evil that good may come.” 

“And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say), ‘Let us do evil that good may come’? Their condemnation is just.” — Romans 3:8

From this perspective, the act is seen as doubly wrong because:

  1. It violates the victim’s rights.
  2. It “taints” the religious institution by associating it with “unclean” or ill-gotten gains.

Comparison of Motivations

Concept  The Logic The Goal
Common Theft “I want that money for myself.” Personal gain.
Moral Justification “I am doing God’s work with this money.” Self-righteousness / Group benefit.
Spiritual Bypass “God will forgive the theft because I gave it to Him.” Avoiding accountability.

Google AI asked: Would you like to explore the legal perspective on this—such as whether “noble intent” can be used as a defense in court—or perhaps look at historical examples of “Pious Frauds”?

I said: Yes.

Google AI said: To explore this further, we can look at how the law treats “good intentions” and how history has handled these “pious frauds.”

  1. The Legal Perspective: “Motive” vs. “Intent”

In the eyes of the law, there is a crucial distinction between Intent (the resolve to commit the act) and Motive (the reason for committing the act).

  • Intent is what matters for a conviction: If you intentionally took money that didn’t belong to you, the crime of theft is complete.
  • Motive is usually irrelevant to guilt: While a “noble motive” (like giving to a church) might occasionally influence a judge to give a lighter sentence during the sentencing phase, it is not a legal defense.

Legal Maxim: “Necessity” is a defense (e.g., stealing bread to keep from starving), but “Religious or Social Benefit” is not. You cannot infringe on the rights of an individual to benefit a collective.

  1. Historical Examples of “Pious Frauds”

History is full of instances where people committed “virtuous” crimes. This was often called Fraus Pia (Latin for “pious fraud”).

  • The Donation of Constantine: For centuries, the Catholic Church claimed authority over Western Europe based on a document supposedly written by Emperor Constantine. In the 15th century, it was proven to be a forgery. The forgers likely believed they were “helping” the Church secure its rightful place.
  • Relic Forgery: In the Middle Ages, many monks created “fake” relics (fragments of the “True Cross” or bones of saints). Their justification was that these objects increased the faith of the pilgrims and brought money to the monastery to help the poor.
  • The “Salamander Letter”: In the 1980s, Mark Hofmann forged documents related to the history of the Latter Day Saint movement. He claimed his motive was to “protect” or “challenge” the church (depending on the day), but his actions involved fraud and, eventually, murder.
  1. The Ethical Conflict: “Dirty Hands”

This dilemma is sometimes called the “Problem of Dirty Hands.” It asks: Is it possible to do the “right” thing by doing something “wrong”?

Most modern ethicists argue that stealing for a cause creates a “Moral Deficit” that the donation cannot erase. If you steal $1,000 from a person and give it to a charity:

  1. The victim is still harmed.
  2. The charity is now unknowingly in possession of “tainted” goods.
  3. The perpetrator has practiced Moral Arrogance—deciding that their “cause” is more valuable than the victim’s livelihood.

Summary Table: Legal vs. Moral Standing

Scenario Legal Outcome Ethical Standing
Theft for Self Guilty of Larceny Immoral (Greed)
Theft for Church Guilty of Larceny Immoral (Arrogance/Delusion)
Theft for Survival Guilty (but may have a “Necessity” defense) Debated (Human Rights)

Would you like to look at specific psychological case studies of “white-collar” criminals who used religious justifications for their fraud? [I decided not to ask about this.]

I asked Google AI: What if a person feels that to harm another person would be a good act if it benefits his church or cause, provided that he asks someone unscrupulous to do the harm.

The person who hopes to benefit his church or cause might say that he himself is a good person who lives a virtuous life, and an evil action would not become him. But the unscrupulous person is already set on an evil path; thus an evil action would suit him.

Google AI said: This line of reasoning is a sophisticated form of Moral Delegation or Vicarious Agency. It is a psychological defense mechanism where a person attempts to preserve their “holy” self-image while still reaping the benefits of a “sinful” act. 

In ethics and psychology, this is often broken down into several distinct concepts:

  1. The “Clean Hands” Fallacy

This is the belief that moral guilt is not “transferable” if one does not physically commit the act. The person believes that by keeping their own hands clean, their soul remains untarnished, even if they are the architect of the harm. 

In legal terms, this is known as Vicarious Liability or Conspiracy. The law generally views the person who ordered or facilitated the crime as just as guilty (and sometimes more so) than the person who carried it out. 

  1. Moral Outsourcing

This is a psychological maneuver where an individual “hires out” the sin. The logic follows a dark sort of “market efficiency”: 

  • The Logic: “I have high moral capital; he has none. Therefore, it is ‘cheaper’ for him to sin than for me to sin.”
  • The Reality: This is a form of Exploitation. The “virtuous” person is using the other person’s perceived “evilness” as a tool, which most ethicists argue is a deeper form of depravity because it involves both the original harm and the intentional degradation of another human being. 
  1. The “Instrumentalization” of Others

From the perspective of Immanuel Kant’s Categorical Imperative, this is a grave moral failure. Kant argued that you must never use a person merely as a means to an end. 

  • By treating the “unscrupulous person” as a tool for a “virtuous” goal, the person is stripping away the humanity of both the victim and the perpetrator.
  1. Psychological & Theological Perspectives
Perspective  Analysis of the “Virtuous” Person
Psychological Cognitive Dissonance Reduction: The person cannot reconcile being “good” with doing “bad,” so they create a buffer (the third party) to avoid the mental pain of guilt.
Theological Pharisaism: This is often compared to the biblical “Pharisees”—people focused on the outward appearance of purity while their inward intent is corrupt. Most traditions argue that intent is the seat of sin.
Philosophical Bad Faith (Sartre): The person is lying to themselves about their own agency. They are pretending they are not the cause of the harm when, in fact, they are the primary “mover.”
  1. Historical & Literary Parallel: “The King’s Silence”

In history, this is often called the “Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?” syndrome (attributed to King Henry II regarding Thomas Becket). 

  • The leader expresses a “wish” for harm to happen.
  • They don’t give a direct order.
  • “Unscrupulous” followers carry it out.
  • The leader then acts shocked or saddened to maintain their “virtuous” image, despite having signaled for the act to occur. 

Summary of the Fallacy

The person in your scenario is practicing Moral Compartmentalization. They believe that “Virtue” is a status you possess (like a title) rather than a quality of your actions. By focusing on their “virtuous life,” they use their past good deeds as a “shield” to protect them from the reality of their current malice.

Key takeaway: In almost every ethical, legal, and religious framework, the one who intends the evil is the one who owns the evil.

Google AI asked: Would you like to look into how modern “RICO” laws or “Command Responsibility” in international law handle people who order harm while claiming to be “virtuous” leaders?

I said: Yes.

Google AI said: In both domestic and international law, claiming “virtuous” intent or using a third party to perform a “dirty” act does not shield a person from liability. Legal systems have developed specific frameworks to ensure that those who plan or profit from crimes are held as accountable as those who physically commit them.

  1. The RICO Act (U.S. Federal Law)

The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act was specifically designed to target “bosses” who never get their own hands dirty. 

  • The Goal: Before RICO, leaders often escaped prosecution because they didn’t personally commit illegal acts like drug trafficking or murder.
  • How it works: Prosecutors only need to prove a “pattern of racketeering activity” connected to an “enterprise” (which can be a legal business, a church, or an informal group).
  • The “Virtue” Defense: Under RICO, it doesn’t matter if the leader claims they were living a “virtuous life.” If they helped plan or benefited from the criminal activity of the enterprise, they face the same severe penalties—up to 20 years in prison per count. 
  1. Command Responsibility (International Law)

In international criminal law, the doctrine of Command Responsibility (or Superior Responsibility) holds leaders accountable for the actions of their subordinates. 

  • Knowledge and Control: A superior is liable if they knew (or should have known) that their subordinates were about to commit crimes and failed to take “necessary and reasonable measures” to prevent them.
  • Standard of Accountability: This doctrine prevents leaders from claiming “purity” by simply looking the other way while their followers commit atrocities. The International Criminal Court (ICC) uses this to prosecute the highest-level architects of war crimes and crimes against humanity. 
  1. Accomplice and Vicarious Liability

At the individual level, two other legal concepts apply to the scenario you described:

  • Accomplice Liability: A person is legally responsible for another’s conduct if they solicit, aid, or abet the crime with the intent to facilitate it. The person “ordering” the harm is often charged as a “principal” in the first degree, carrying the same weight as the person who pulled the trigger.
  • Vicarious Liability: This “transfers” criminal responsibility from the actor to a person in a special relationship (like an employer or supervisor). While less common for individual violent crimes, it is frequently used to hold organizations or corporations accountable for the illegal acts of their agents. 

Summary of Legal Standing

Legal Framework  Who it Targets Why the “Virtuous” Excuse Fails
RICO Heads of organizations. “Benefiting from” a crime is enough for a conviction.
Command Responsibility Military/Political leaders. Failure to prevent a crime is legally equivalent to committing it.
Accomplice Liability Anyone who orders/aids. Soliciting an “unscrupulous person” is a form of criminal participation.

Google AI asked: Would you like to examine how the law distinguishes between a “direct order” and “implied permission” (the “meddlesome priest” scenario) in modern criminal trials?

I said: Yes.

Google AI said: In modern criminal law, the gap between a “virtuous” request and an “evil” action is bridged by several legal doctrines that focus on intent and foreseeability rather than the literal wording of a command.

  1. Direct Order vs. Implied Permission

Courts distinguish between these by looking at the “Totality of the Circumstances”. 

  • Direct Order: An explicit instruction to commit a crime (e.g., “Go steal that money”). This is prosecuted as Solicitation or Conspiracy.
  • Implied Permission: This occurs when a person in authority uses “coded” language or silence to signal that a crime is desired. This is the “Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?” scenario.
    • Legal Test: Courts ask if a “Reasonable Person” in the subordinate’s position would interpret the leader’s words as a green light for violence. If the leader’s rhetoric predictably leads to harm, the law can view it as an Implied Threat or Incitement. 
  1. The “Plausible Deniability” Barrier

“Plausible deniability” is a strategy where a leader avoids direct knowledge of a crime to claim innocence later. 

  • How the Law Breaks It: Prosecutors use the RICO Act to prove that the leader created the conditions for the crime to happen and benefited from the result, making their “lack of knowledge” legally irrelevant.
  • Wilful Blindness: If a person suspecting a crime “shuts their eyes” to avoid knowing the truth, the law treats that as Actual Knowledge. Living a “virtuous life” does not protect someone who intentionally ignores the “evil” they have set in motion. 
  1. Stochastic Terrorism: The Modern Challenge

When a leader uses “virtuous” rhetoric (e.g., “Our cause is being attacked by this person”) to inspire an “unscrupulous” follower to act, it is sometimes called Stochastic Terrorism. 

  • Legal Difficulty: Under the Brandenburg v. Ohio standard, speech is protected unless it is intended to produce imminent lawless action.
  • The “Gap”: Because the leader doesn’t give a “roadmap” for the crime, they often remain legally insulated, even if the harm was statistically predictable. 

Summary of Liability

Type of Instruction  Legal Category Responsibility
Direct Order Solicitation Fully Liable as a Principal.
Coded Request Conspiracy Liable if intent can be inferred from context.
Implied Permission Vicarious Liability Liable if they had authority to stop it.
Vague Rhetoric Stochastic Terror Hard to Prosecute (protected as free speech).

Would you like to examine how a jury determines “intent” when there is no written record of a command, such as through patterns of communication or “coded” behavior? [I decided not to ask about this.]

I asked Google AI: What if a person feels that to harm another person would be a good act if it benefits his church or cause, provided that others agree to help him do so?

For instance, a lawyer might agree to stand by the first person and bear false witness as to the actions of the person to be harmed. Another person might agree to take pictures of the meeting from afar. Another person might agree to intimidate the person to be harmed.

And so, with several people acting together, then each might be absolved of what harm may occur?

Google AI said: The scenario you described is the definition of a Criminal Conspiracy. Far from being “absolved” by acting together, legal systems generally view collective action as an aggravating factor that increases, rather than decreases, the culpability of every participant. 

  1. The Legal Doctrine: Conspiracy and “Pinkerton” Liability

In many jurisdictions, including the U.S., once two or more people agree to commit an illegal act and take one “overt act” toward it, the crime of conspiracy is complete. 

  • The Pinkerton Rule: Under the Pinkerton v. United States doctrine, every member of a conspiracy is legally responsible for all foreseeable crimes committed by any other member in furtherance of that conspiracy.
  • No “Small” Roles: The person taking pictures or the person intimidating the victim are just as guilty of the overall harm as the person who planned it. The law does not “parcel out” guilt; it assigns it to the group as a whole. 
  1. Specific Roles and Liability

In your example, the participants would likely face severe individual consequences despite their “division of labor”: 

  • The Lawyer: A lawyer who agrees to bear false witness (perjury) or aid in a crime faces not only criminal charges for conspiracy and perjury but also immediate disbarment for violating professional ethics.
  • The Lookout/Photographer: By providing surveillance, this person acts as an accomplice (aider and abettor). Under 18 U.S.C. § 2, anyone who “aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures” a crime is punishable as a principal—meaning they face the exact same sentence as the one who physically inflicts the harm.
  • The Intimidator: This person would be charged with Assault or Extortion, which also serves as the “overt act” that proves the conspiracy for the entire group. 
  1. The Psychology: Diffusion of Responsibility and “Groupthink”

The feeling that one is “absolved” when acting in a group is a psychological phenomenon called Diffusion of Responsibility. 

  • Illusion of Morality: This is a symptom of Groupthink, where members believe their group is inherently moral and superior. This allows them to ignore their personal ethical codes and justify harm as a “service” to their cause.
  • Moral Disengagement: By splitting the act into small parts, each person feels they only did a “small thing” (like taking a photo), which helps them avoid the cognitive dissonance of realizing they are part of a coordinated “evil” act. 

Summary of Liability for Group Actions

Role  Individual Crime Liability for Group’s Crime
Architect Conspiracy, Solicitation Full Liability (Pinkerton Rule)
Lawyer Perjury, Obstruction Full Liability + Disbarment
Intimidator Assault, Extortion Full Liability
Photographer Aiding and Abetting Full Liability (as a Principal)

The law views a group acting in concert as a “partnership in crime” that poses a greater danger to society than a single individual; therefore, the penalties are often harsher for conspirators than for lone actors. 

Would you like to see how “organized crime” laws like RICO are used to dismantle religious or political groups that engage in this kind of coordinated harm? [I decided not to ask about this.]

I said: Google AI, Thanks for answering these questions. I had a feeling … a sort of ‘niggling’ feeling … that these ways of thinking must have ‘a hitch in the works’. But I couldn’t figure out just what the hitch was. Now I am much clearer on each of these questions.

I think the trouble I have is this: When I find that a person is set on doing harm and feels quite within his rights to do so, then I never know how to address this, or whether I had best leave it alone entirely, and just walk away. Being shy and retiring, I’m inclined to the latter.

Google AI said: It is understandable that your first instinct is to walk away. In many cases, especially when dealing with someone who uses moral justification to bypass accountability, walking away is not just a valid choice—it is often the most effective strategy for your own safety and peace of mind. 

Here is how you can look at the “hitch in the works” from a practical, personal standpoint:

  1. The “Gray Rock” Scripts

For someone who is “shy and retiring,” walking away is a powerful act of setting a boundary. You are essentially deciding that you will not be a “pawn” in their game. 

  • Trust Your Gut: If you feel noticeably drained, confused, or like you’re “walking on eggshells,” your instincts are telling you the situation is unsafe or toxic.
  • No Explanation Owed: You do not owe a manipulator or someone set on harm an explanation for why you are leaving. In fact, providing one often gives them more “fuel” to twist the narrative and keep you engaged. 
  1. When to Address It vs. When to Leave

While you might feel a moral urge to “correct” their thinking, it is important to recognize when that effort is likely to be futile.

If the person…  Your Best Response
Is open to dialogue You can ask “probing questions” like, “Does this seem fair to you?” to see if they have any self-awareness.
Uses “God’s Will” or a “Cause” as a shield Address it only if you must. These individuals are often immune to “corrective information” because their belief is tied to their moral identity.
Is aggressive or intimidating Leave immediately. Do not engage in an argument, as it only gives the other person a sense of power and control.
  1. The “Gray Rock” Technique

If you cannot completely walk away (e.g., they are a coworker or relative), many psychologists recommend the “Gray Rock” method: 

  • Become as uninteresting as a rock.
  • Give short, non-committal answers (“Okay,” “I see,” “That’s interesting”).
  • Keep your emotions detached. By not reacting to their “noble” justifications or their “evil” plans, you deny them the emotional “supply” they are looking for. 
  1. Protecting Your Own “Virtue”

A common “hitch” for kind people is feeling that they are being “mean” or “unvirtuous” by walking away. However, protecting yourself from a person who justifies harm is actually a way of upholding your own rights to be treated with respect and to live a healthy life. 

You are not a “rehabilitation center” for someone who refuses to see how their actions affect others.

Google AI asked: Would you like to explore specific “scripts” or phrases you can use to end a conversation with such a person without escalating the situation?

I said: Yes.

Google AI said: To address that “niggling” feeling, it helps to have pre-planned scripts. These allow you to disengage without needing to match the other person’s intensity or “fix” their logic. 

  1. The “Gray Rock” Scripts (For High-Conflict Situations)

If someone is using “God’s will” or a “cause” to justify harm, they are often looking for an emotional reaction or a debate to prove their moral superiority. Use these short, neutral phrases to become uninteresting: 

  • “I see.”
  • “That’s one way to look at it.”
  • “I haven’t thought much about that lately.”
  • “I understand that is your perspective.”
  • “Hmm. Interesting.” 
  1. Ending the Conversation (The “Exit Ramp”)

When you recognize the “hitch in the works,” use a definitive exit line that doesn’t require their permission to leave: 

  • The “Social Battery” Exit: “I’ve enjoyed the chat, but my social battery is running low. I’m going to head out now.”
  • The “Processing” Exit: “You’ve given me a lot to think about. I’d like to take some time to consider it on my own.”
  • The “Direct” Exit: “I don’t think we’re going to resolve this today. Let’s wrap up here.”
  • The “Busy” Exit: “I have to step away now to take care of something. Take care!” 
  1. Setting a Firm Boundary (When they persist)

If the person continues to push or becomes disrespectful, a firmer, “non-soft” tone is necessary: 

  • “I’m not able to continue this conversation right now. I’ll reach out when I’m ready.”
  • “I don’t agree with your interpretation, and I won’t discuss it any further.”
  • “I’m not available for this kind of discussion. Goodbye.”
  • “If this topic continues, I’m going to have to leave. It’s up to you.” 
  1. Why This Works for the “Shy and Retiring”
  • No J.A.D.E.: You do not need to Justify, Argue, Defend, or Explain your choice to leave.
  • Preserves Energy: By using “I” statements (e.g., “I need to go” vs. “You are being mean”), you reduce their ability to become defensive or escalate.
  • Internal Mantra: Remind yourself: “I do not owe them access to my peace”. 

Would you like to practice a specific scenario—for example, how to respond if they use a “religious duty” to try and stop you from walking away?[I decided not to ask about this.]

CONCLUSION

I said: Google Ai, You have been quite helpful. I have all I need for now. Thanks again for these insights. –Alice B. Clagett

Google AI said: You’re very welcome, Alice. It’s been a pleasure helping you untangle that “hitch in the works” and explore the legal and psychological realities behind those troubling justifications.

Trusting that “niggling” feeling is often the best way to protect your peace. Since you are “shy and retiring,” remember that silence and walking away aren’t signs of weakness—they are often the most sophisticated ways to handle someone who has abandoned logic or empathy.

If you ever find yourself needing more scripts for setting boundaries or want to dive deeper into the psychology of manipulation, I’m here to help.

Safe travels on your journey toward clarity, Alice!

Should we wrap up here, or is there a specific historical or literary figure you’d like to compare these “virtuous” justifications to later on?

I said: It’s a wrap.

Google AI said: Understood! It was a pleasure helping you untangle those “hitches in the works,” Alice. Trusting that “niggling” feeling is often the best way to protect your peace.

If you ever need to dive back into the psychology of manipulation or want more tools for setting boundaries, I’ll be here.

Safe travels on your journey toward clarity!

Google AI offers quite good advice here, does it not?

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

  • VIDEO BY ALICE

Dear Ones,

This is a multidimensionality video on differences between the third dimension and the fourth dimension with regard to human communication. There is an edited Summary after the video …

VIDEO BY ALICE

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

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

I am a little tuckered out by this climb on Etz Meloy Motorway part of the Backbone Trail in the Santa Monica Mountains. So I am pausing to offer a little refresher about one of the differences between the third dimension … the physical realm … and the fourth dimension … the astral realm … also known as the land of dreams.

  • The third dimension is place-specific.
  • The fourth dimension has no geography.

Thus, when I speak to someone telepathically … meeting them on the trail … it is likely that other people will be listening in telepathically.

But when I speak to people in the physical realm, using my physical voice, then hikers that I meet on the trail, or bikers on the trail … then it is unlikely that anyone else who is out of physical ‘earshot’ can hear.

That is because things that take place in the physical realm almost always stay in the location where they are.

That includes the sound of voices chatting … unless I am chatting about someone else, in which case that summons the astral presence of the other person.

That is a very good reason not to engage in gossip about other people, because the moment that we do that on the physical plane they can log on, and they can find out just what we have been saying about them.

Setting all that aside, then, in the astral realm, when I am just dreaming or telepathing about, quite a few people may be logging on.

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!

Dear Ones,

Here is a passage on men who lack Souls, by the Theosophist Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. Subheadings, bolding, bulleting, and paragraphing are my own.

I used bolding throughout, with the idea that the reader pressed for time might glance through the bolded text and arrive at an idea of the main points of the blog. I had some difficulty with the extent of the bolding, because that made printing the blog expensive; so I changed …

  • the Madame Blavatsky text that I bolded to a black font,
  • and the unbolded portion of her text to a medium grey font.

My comments sometimes are enclosed in square brackets for clarity … [  ] … and are interspersed throughout.

  • I used violet for my comments that are bolded,
  • and medium blue for my regular comments. 

There is also bracketed text in Madame Blavatsky’s opus; I have changed her brackets to angle brackets … <  > … so that they may be distinguished even if the blog is printed in black and white.

ON SOULLESS MEN
from Link: “The Secret Doctrine,” Vol. 3 of 4 by H. P. Blavatsky (2018), Urbana, Illinois: Project Gutenberg. Retrieved 13 July 2018, from https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/56880 ..

An Incarnation in Which the Personality is Debased Adds Nothing to the Soul’s Knowledge

“And now we must speak of the tenet of the ‘second death.’ [which occurs when, after physical death, the disintegrating astral shell has purified enough to allow the Ego to separate out from it and return slowly to consciousness in the heaven realms]

“What happens to the Kâmic [desire-filled; relating to animal passions which promote Soul ignorance or ‘delusion’] Human Soul, which is always that of a debased <pg 521> and wicked man or of a soulless person? This mystery will now be explained.

“The personal Soul in this case, viz., in that of one who has never had a thought not concerned with the animal self, having nothing to transmit to the Higher, or to add to the sum of the experiences gleaned from past incarnations which its memory is to preserve throughout eternity—this personal Soul becomes separated from the Ego. It can graft nothing of self on that eternal trunk [by this may be meant Buddhi, the eternal, Spiritual Soul?] whose sap throws out millions of personalities, like leaves from its branches, leaves which wither, die and fall at the end of their season ….”

Multidimensionality and the Doctrine of Soulless Men

If by the above-referenced  ‘eternal trunk’ is meant the eternal, Spiritual Soul, then the withering of one personality, which becomes separated from Ego, to the Soulless state, might have no impact on the multidimensional, Spiritual Soul which, according to Ascension lore, is experiencing many incarnations simultaneously in the Higher Dimensions (Fifth Dimension and higher) where the Eternal Now is revealed as underlying reality of Creation.

The Hellworld Experience of Soulless Incarnations

“These personalities bud, blossom forth and expire, some without leaving a trace behind, others after commingling their own life with that of the parent stem. It is the Souls of the former class that are doomed to annihilation, or Avîtchi, [hell] a state so badly understood, and still worse described by some Theosophical writers, but which is not only located on our earth, but is in fact this very earth itself ….” [that is to say, I feel may have been intended, located on the astral Earth planes. –Alice] 

The Hellworld Experience of Normal Incarnations

As to the above-reference hellworlds, I feel a distinction might be made between the difficult cases involving loss of the Soul (withering of an incarnation on the ‘eternal trunk’) … which Madame Blavatsky describes in more detail below … and the more normal case of an incarnation that involved little Soul learning and much ignorant ‘acting out’ …

In the latter case, I feel, the hellworld experience after death would have a redemptive quality, as the Soul might learn, through that incarnation, the pain of ignorance in the Afterlife, as the Ego, still encased in the astral shell, experiences the purifying fire that releases the desires that caused the ‘acting out’, preparatory to cocooning in the mental realms.

A Way to Mitigate the Hellworld Experience Before Passing On

For those who want to experience this purification process prior to death, in a less emotionally sensitive, and therefore less painful, setting, I recommend using Tom Kenyon’s “Aethos” meditation as a purifying agent …

Link: “The Aethos Sound Meditation,” by Tom Kenyon … https://tomkenyon.com/the-aethos-sound-meditation .. 

Rending of Antahkarana … the Kundalini, or Central Vertical Power Current, or ‘Silver Cord’ … of the Debased Personality Severs the Person from His Soul

“Thus we see [in the case of the Soulless man] that Antahkarana [the kundalini, the central vertical power current, or ‘silver cord’ … which is the communication link between the incarnate man and his reincarnating Individuality, the Soul; see next paragraph] has been destroyed before the lower man has had an opportunity of assimilating the Higher and becoming at one with it; and therefore the Kâmic ‘Soul’ becomes a separate entity, to live henceforth, for a short or long period according to its Karma, as a ‘soulless’ creature. 

The Antahkarana Is the Bridge Between the Lower Mental Body and the Higher Mental Body

“But before I elaborate this question, I must explain more clearly the meaning and functions of the Antahkarana. As already said, it may be represented as a narrow bridge connecting the Higher and the lower Manas. [mind] If you look at the Glossary of the Voice of the Silence, pp. 88 and 89, you will find that it is a projection of the lower Manas, or, rather, the link between the latter and the Higher Ego, or, between the Human and the Divine or Spiritual Soul ….

The ‘Second Death’: The Kâma Rûpa … the Desire Body or Ghost … of a Normal Personality Decomposes after Death of the Physical Body

“At death it is destroyed as a path, or medium of communication, and its remains survive as Kâma Rûpa, [that is, at death, this seat of animal passions, or ‘desire body’, survives as the astral shell, which slowly purifies, on the astral plane, until the Ego can separate from it; then the ‘kâma rûpa’ deteriorates and decomposes in the astral world. This is termed the ‘second death’ … the death of the Kâma Rûpa or desire body … the ghost … of a normal personality after death of the physical body.] the ‘shell.’ [i.e., astral shell] It is this which the Spiritualists see sometimes appearing in the séance rooms as materialized ‘forms,’ [ghosts] which they foolishly mistake for the ‘Spirits of the Departed’….

Contacting a Person’s Antahkarana During Sleep Is Like Contacting the Kâma Rûpa … the Desire Body or Ghost … After They Pass On

“So far is this from being <pg 522> the case, that in dreams, though Antahkarana is there, the personality is only half awake; therefore, Antahkarana is said to be drunk or insane during our normal sleeping state.

“If such is the case during the periodical death, or sleep, of the living body, one may judge what the consciousness of Antahkarana is like when it has been transformed after the ‘eternal sleep’ into Kâma Rûpa ….”

Conversations with a Person’s Antahkarana While They Are Asleep Are Talks with the Desire Body Rather Than the Personality

Sometimes newly clair people will wait till a person is asleep, then astrally voyage to them, and converse with their Antahkarana, while the person slumbers. They may then mistake the ‘drunk’ or ‘insane’ chatter of the Antahkarana for the personality of the sleeping person.

Mental Suggestions to a Person’s Antahkarana While They Are Asleep Are Bound to Fail, as the Waking Personality Overwrites These Suggestions Through Volition and Predisposition

Or they may attempt to alter the future course of the slumbering person by conveying the Antahkarana to the abodes of people on the astral plane, whom they intend as mate for the sleeping person (as happened to me and others of my acquaintance last night). As the Antahkarana is not the personality, they are mistaken in this attempt, which cannot but fail. The waking personality, recognizing these mental suggestions as foreign to itself, is bound to overwrite them through volition and predisposition.

Disuse of the Antahkarana Causes Its Atrophy

“But to return. In order not to confuse the mind of the Western student with the abstruse difficulties of Indian metaphysics, let him view the lower Manas, or Mind, as the personal Ego during the waking state, and as Antahkarana only during those moments when it aspires towards its Higher Ego, and thus becomes the medium of communication between the two. It is for this reason that it is called the ‘Path.’

“Now, when a limb or organ belonging to the physical organism is left in disuse, it becomes weak and finally atrophies. So also is it with mental faculties; and hence the atrophy of the lower mind-function, called Antahkarana, becomes comprehensible in both completely materialistic and depraved natures.

On Asking the Soul to Reconnect to Oneself

As it is ignoring and going against the wishes of the Soul that causes the Silver Cord to be rent in twain, I suggest that the person in this hapless circumstance spend his waking hours in professing his alignment with his Soul purpose, and petitioning the Soul to return. My hope is that this will ‘lighten up’ the Desire Body, so that the Antahkaranic link may be re-established.

Esoteric Philosophy Holds That the Antahkarana Must Be Preserved, So as to Attain Enlightenment

“According to Esoteric Philosophy, however, the teaching is as follows: Seeing that the faculty and function of Antahkarana is as necessary as the medium of the ear for hearing, or that of the eye for seeing; then so long as the feeling of Ahankâra, that is, of the personal ‘I’ or selfishness, is not entirely crushed out in a man, and the lower mind not entirely merged into and become one with the Higher Buddhi-Manas, [where ‘manas’, the mind, is drawn to Buddhi, or discrimination, rather than to the animal principles of the Lower Mental Body] it stands to reason that to destroy Antahkarana is like destroying a bridge over an impassable chasm; the traveller can never reach the goal on the other shore.

Exoteric Philosophy Holds That the Antahkaran Must Be Sundered, So As to Establish Oneness with Âtmâ or Soul

“And here lies the difference between the exoteric and Esoteric teaching. The former makes the Vedânta state that so long as Mind (the lower) clings through Antahkarana to Spirit (Buddhi-Manas) it is impossible for it to acquire true Spiritual Wisdom, Gnyâna, and that this can only be attained by seeking to come en rapport with the Universal Soul (Âtmâ); that, in fact, it is by ignoring the Higher Mind altogether that one reaches Râja Yoga.

Premature Sundering of the Antahkarana May Cause Loss of Ego

“We say it is not so. No single rung of the ladder leading to knowledge can be skipped. No personality can ever reach or bring itself into communication with Âtmâ, except through Buddhi-Manas; to try and become a Jîvanmukta [liberated Spirit] or a Mahâtmâ, [great Soul] before one has become an Adept or even a Narjol (a sinless man) is like trying to reach Ceylon from India without crossing the sea. Therefore we are told that if we destroy Antahkarana before the personal is absolutely under the control <pg 523> of the impersonal Ego, we risk to lose the latter and be severed for ever from it, unless indeed we hasten to re-establish the communication by a supreme and final effort.

Psychic Surgery to Sever the Antahkarana May Cause Soullessness

From the above discussion, it occurs to me that the practice of some Spiritual Adepts, to sever the Antahkarana through Psychic Surgery above the second chakra, so as to provide a short-cut to enlightenment through dismissal of animal urges present in the Lower Mental Body, may cause the phenomenon termed by Madame Blavatsky ‘soullessness’. For an earlier discussion of the bad effects of such psychic surgery, see …

Link: “Effects of Psychic Spinal Surgery above the Second Chakra,” by Alice B. Clagett, published on 19 June 2016 … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-5Ad ..

Alice’s Perilous Tales: Story about Having My Antahkarana Severed Through Psychic Surgery, and How This May Be Healed

About 20 years ago, on the astral plane, I observed this kind of psychic surgery being done by two spiritual women, upon a spiritual man, with the intent of allowing him to better control his sex drive.

The group in question had a loathing of sexuality, feeling it to be beneath them, in their quest for enlightenment. Thus, their founder’s teachings with regard to sexual intercourse minimized this practice to a few times a year, for married couples; and not at all, for those not married.

Their spiritual practice emphasized meditation more than yoga or physical culture. Thus members of the group became more mental than sexual in outlook and practice. In this context, the psychic surgery that was performed would have had the intention of allowing the patient to adapt to group expectations.

Because of a love curse laid by a jealous member of the group, my desire body had been linked to that of the operated upon patient. Thus when the psychic surgery occurred, through astral cording, my Antahkarana was severed as well.

Because of my experience as a kundalini yoga practitioner and instructor, I understood the psychic surgery had damaged my Soul, and that my health had also been imperiled by it. I searched around for a good spiritual healer, and had the damage repaired by him in a remote healing session. 

For those who have been so afflicted, I suggest following up spiritual energetic healing with gentle yoga and pranayam (breathing) practices … see youtube for these.

My familiarity is with the Healthy, Happy, Holy Organization (3HO) … https://www.3ho.org/  … where I taught kundalini yoga and morning sadhana daily for 6 years, quite some while ago. For those of middle years who are in good health,  I heartily recommend 3HO yoga and breathing  practices … slowly but surely is the best way.

For those in poor health, or very young or very old, then hatha yoga and breathing techniques might be preferable to keep the Antahkarana in good health.

Antahkarana Naturally Dissolves When, in a State of Nirvana, the Higher Triad Becomes One with the Absolute

“It is only when we are indissolubly linked with the essence of the Divine Mind, that we have to destroy Antahkarana.

“Like as a solitary warrior pursued by an army, seeks refuge in a stronghold; to cut himself off from the enemy, he first destroys the drawbridge, and then only commences to destroy the pursuer; so must the Srotâpatti [a person who has entered the ‘stream’ to Nirvana] act before he slays Antahkarana.

“Or as an Occult axiom has it:

“The Unit becomes Three, and Three generate Four. It is for the latter [the Quaternary, aka the Lower Quaternary, consisting of the Rupa (the physical body), Prana (vital force), Linga Sharira (the astral body), and Kama rupa (seat of animal passions)] to rebecome Three, and for the Divine Three to expand into the Absolute One.

  • “Monads, [1 principle; the Unity]
  • “which become Duads [2 principles; may refer to Atma-Buddhi, or Spirit and its vehicle Spiritual Soul; or else to kama-manas, desire-mind] on the differentiated plane,
  • “to develop into Triads [aka The Upper Imperishable Triad: Atma-Buddhi-Manas … Spirit–Spiritual Soul–Mind] during the cycle of incarnations, 

“… even when incarnated know neither space nor time, but are diffused through the lower Principles of the Quaternary, being omnipresent and omniscient in their nature. But this omniscience is innate, and can manifest its reflected light only through that which is at least semi-terrestrial or material; even as the physical brain which, in its turn, is the vehicle of the lower Manas [mind] enthroned in Kâma Rûpa ….” [the desire form or shape]

[In the below paragraph, it seems to me Madame Blavatsky may be using the term ‘second death’ in a manner different from the usual. Here, I feel, she may be speaking of a form of ‘second death’ in which the Antahkarana, through over-exertion of animal desire and animal passions, is severed. It feels to me, from other reading, that the Lower Quaternary becomes so ‘heavy’ that too much stress is put on the Antahkarana (the ‘silver cord’) … and that causes the silver cord to be snapped in two.

Thus the lifeline connecting the Lower Quaternary to the Upper Imperishable Triad is cut, and the Lower Quaternary must, perforce, perish.]

“And it is this [the lower Manas or mind and the Kâma Rûpa] which is gradually annihilated in cases of ‘second death.’ But such annihilation—which is in reality the absence of the slightest trace of the doomed Soul ….”

Is the Soul of a ‘Soulless Man’ Really Doomed?

[By ‘doomed Soul, I feel, may be meant the Kâma Rûpa (the animal Soul) and Manas (the human Soul) as distinct from Buddhi, the Spiritual Soul, which is eternal. Such an interpretation would lend weight to the notion that manifestation as a Soulless Man would represent only one failed life-line in a series of incarnational life-lines that are learning experiences for the Buddhi, the Spiritual Soul. This would go along with the above description of an ‘eternal trunk’ with some leaves that thrive, and others that wither.

As well, one might take it, in the usual sense, that one life-line of many multitemporal, multidimensional incarnations delineates the boundary of an Ego. In this context, the death of the Soul would be individually a good deal more catastrophic.

On the other hand, as individuality is an artificial construct, artfully veiling from the omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent Divine essence so that it may experience the play of lila, or duality … since All is God … it little matters which understanding of Soullessness, expressed in human form, we profess.]

“… from the eternal memory, and therefore signifies annihilation in eternity—does not mean simply discontinuation of human life on earth, for earth is Avîtchi, and the worst Avîtchi possible ….”

Is the Hellworld Experience as Devastating on the Physical Plane as It is in the Afterlife?

This last is an overstatement, I feel: Avîtchi experienced on the astral plane is, by all accounts, felt to be much deeper anguish than that felt while in human form, where the sensations of the physical form are purported, through diversion of awareness, to buffer the experience of negative emotions.

“Expelled for ever from the consciousness of the Individuality, the reincarnating Ego, the physical atoms and psychic vibrations of the now separate personality are immediately reincarnated on the same earth, only in a lower and still more abject creature, a human being only in form, doomed to Karmic torments during the whole of its new life. Moreover, if it persists in its criminal or debauched course, it will suffer a long series of immediate reincarnations ….”

The Vampire in Human Form and the Doctrine of the Soulless Man

[The above paragraph speaks to all too common arcane lore; that of the Soulless beast in human form, the Brother of the Shadow, the Elementary, the dweller on the threshold, the Dark Soul, the Undead, the person ‘possessed’, the Black Magician or Shaman whose Soul has been sent packing by a ‘Big Bad’.

In my teachings, this is the energy vampire in human form, which, through a defect in the function of the central vertical power current or of the heart chakra, cannot gather prana from the Universe, but instead must siphon it off of other human beings, in order to sustain its earthly body. This makes sense, as snapping of the Antahkarana would cut this being off from Source, or God, and from the flow of Prana from the Infinite. It must, therefore, seek sustenance from the phenomenal world. –Alice]

“Here two questions present themselves: [1] What becomes of the Higher Ego in such cases? [2] What kind of an animal is a human creature born soulless?

“Before answering these two very natural queries, I have to draw the attention of all of you who are born in Christian countries to the fact that the romance of the vicarious atonement and the mission of Jesus, <pg 524> as it now stands, was drawn or borrowed by some too liberal Initiates from the mysterious and weird tenet of the earthly experience of the reincarnating Ego.

“The latter is indeed the sacrificial victim of, and through, its own Karma in previous Manvantaras, [the life of a Manu, one of the forebears of humankind, who regulates the world for a span of time] which takes upon itself voluntarily the duty of saving what would be otherwise soulless men or personalities.

“Eastern truth is thus more philosophical and logical than Western fiction. The Christos, or Buddhi-Manas of each man is not quite an innocent and sinless God, though in one sense it is the ‘Father,’ being of the same essence with the Universal Spirit, and at the same time the ‘Son,’ for Manas is the second remove from the ‘Father.’

“By incarnation the Divine Son makes itself responsible for the sins of all the personalities which it will inform. This it can do only through its proxy or reflection, the lower Manas. The only case in which the Divine Ego can escape individual penalty and responsibility as a guiding Principle, is when it has to break off from the personality, because matter, with its psychic and astral vibrations, is then, by the very intensity of its combinations, placed beyond the control of the Ego. Apophis, the Dragon, having become the conqueror, the reincarnating Manas, separating itself gradually from its tabernacle, breaks finally asunder from the psycho-animal Soul …”

[Gosh, the above is quite disrespectful of Christian beliefs; but then, on the other hand, empowering from the personal perspective, I feel.]

What Becomes of the Higher Ego When the Antahkarana Is Severed?

“Thus, in answer to the first question, I say:

“{1) The Divine Ego does one of two things: either …

“(a) it recommences immediately under its own Karmic impulses a fresh series of incarnations; or

“(b) it seeks and finds refuge in the bosom of the Mother, Alaya, the Universal Soul, of which the Manvantaric aspect is Mahat. Freed from the life-impressions of the personality, it merges into a kind of Nirvânic interlude, wherein there can be nothing but the eternal Present, which absorbs the Past and Future. Bereft of the ‘labourer,’ both field and harvest now being lost, the Master, in the infinitude of his thought, naturally preserves no recollection of the finite and evanescent illusion which had been his last personality. And then, indeed, is the latter annihilated ….”

Ascensioneers call item (b), above, ‘return to Source’ or ‘return to God’. I feel that Madame Blavatsky describes this in much milder tones then Ascensioneers are apt to envision it. I like her description very much.

“What Kind of an Animal Is a Human Creature Born Soulless?”

“(2) The future of the lower Manas [mind] is more terrible, and still more terrible to humanity than to the now animal man.

“It sometimes happens that after the separation the exhausted Soul, now become supremely animal, fades out in Kâma Loka, as do all other animal souls. [This would be the best case scenario, would it not?]

“But seeing that the more material [the more physical and the less spiritual in nature] is the human mind, the longer it lasts, even in the intermediate stage, it frequently happens that after the present life of the soulless man is ended, he is again and again <pg 525> reincarnated into new personalities, each one more abject than the other.

“The impulse of animal life is too strong; it cannot wear itself out in one or two lives only. In rarer cases, however, when the lower Manas is doomed to exhaust itself by starvation; when there is no longer hope that even a remnant of a lower light [it] will, owing to favourable conditions—say, even a short period of spiritual aspiration and repentance [or possibly through the prayers of a well-meaning, but mightily ill-advised person]—attract back to itself its Parent Ego, and Karma leads the Higher Ego back to new incarnations, then something far more dreadful may happen.

The Kâma-Mânasic Spook as ‘Dweller on the Threshold’

. . . . .

“The Kâma-Mânasic spook may become that which is called in Occultism the ‘Dweller on the Threshold.’ This Dweller is not like that which is described so graphically in Zanoni, but an actual fact in Nature and not a fiction in romance, however beautiful the latter may be. Bulwer, however, must have got the idea from some Eastern Initiate ….”

Unlaid Ghost of Prior Evil Incarnation Haunts Newly Incarnated Person?

It seems that Madame Blavatsky is describing, here, the ghost … desire body and Lower Mind … the “Kâma-Mânasic spook,” as she terms it … of a very bad person’s last incarnation, which has, through the weight of it, been severed from Ego.

Then the Kâma-Mânasic spook incarnates without the over-lighting Higher Triad, as an animal in human form. Then some dilly-dallying happens … some unexpected, favorable reversal, or positive thoughts by the bestial human (or possibly by another person on behalf of the bestial human) … and that favorable reversal attracts the Kâma-Mânasic spook’s Ego to it.

Madame Blavatsky mentioned above that it may take a number of incarnations, in ever lower and more bestial human form, for a Kâma-Mânasic spook to ‘unwind’ down to annihilation. Thus, it could be that there is an incarnation in which something happens that makes the bestial Lower Quaternary a little less heavy, and either during the incarnation, or between times, in the brief interlude spent by the Kâma-Mânasic spook between incarnations, the called-upon Ego manifests another incarnation, with a newly created Lower Quaternary and Higher Triad.

The Kâma-Mânasic spook relates to this new Ego incarnation as the Dweller on the Threshold. It thrills to the Ego in the newly incarnate person, but there it is, left ‘out in the cold’, excluded from the incarnation. Thus it stands ‘at the threshold’ of the incarnation; and because of the density of its astral aspect, it seems to the newly incarnate personality to be ‘the devil himself’.

“This Dweller, led by affinity and attraction, forces itself into the astral current, [a movement like a wind blowing, or a river flowing, of astral matter in the astral realm] and through the Auric Envelope, [universal primordial force] of the new tabernacle inhabited by the Parent Ego, [another person’s Parent Ego?] and declares war to the lower light [by this may be meant the Lower Quaternary of the newly incarnate Ego] which has replaced it.

“This, of course, can only happen in the case of the moral weakness of the personality so obsessed. No one strong in virtue, and righteous in his walk of life, can risk or dread any such thing; but only those depraved in heart. Robert Louis Stevenson had a glimpse of a true vision indeed when he wrote his Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. His story is a true allegory. Every Chelâ will recognise in it a substratum of truth, and in Mr. Hyde a Dweller, an obsessor of the personality, the tabernacle of the Parent Spirit ….”

Multiple Personality Disorder and the Doctrine of the Soulless Man

The reference to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, I feel, has to do with what psychologists term ‘multiple personality disorder’. It seems to me that this may be a cross-discipline label for what occultists term the ‘soulless man’. In other. See Alice’s blog category: multiple personality disorder

From an occult point of view, then, Multiple Personality Disorder might involve an act of obsession by a Dweller on the Threshold, {1} during which an onlooker would see a sudden shift in personality from the mild-mannered Dr. Jekyll to the  malevolent arch-criminal Mr. Hyde.

It seems to me that Madame Blavatsky may be saying, though, that the same Soul is responsible for both aspects of the Multiple Personality … both Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, as it were. To the newly incarnate Dr. Jekyll, though the Mr. Hyde … the Kâma-Mânasic spook lurking about and drawn to the new incarnation because it was, in fact, the Lower Quaternary of another of the Ego’s incarnations … must seem to be completely alien to it; to have popped up ‘out of nowhere’, and through no fault of the new personality. This might be the new personality’s point of view from a perspective ‘beneath the Veil’ …

Advaita and the Doctrine of the Soulless Man

To some degree, then, this interpretation of Madame Blavatsky’s teaching would agree with advaita. To the person so afflicted, the impingement of the Mr. Hyde upon the socially acceptable normal personality might seem like the cruel act of a heartless Creator … However, from an advaita stance, there is only oneself … one’s God-created hologram … and God.

Thus, whatever appears in one’s hologram … no matter how seemingly unassailable and undefeatable … is one’s own responsibility to transform to the Light. The incarnation of a Dr. Jekyll is not for the faint of heart! Yet comfort may be had in knowing that God is Love, and God is All, and that we can rely upon grace to transform the most insistent nuisance of a hologrammatic effect. God can do anything, I would feel. I would seek refuge in His power and grace.

“’This is a nightmare tale!’ I was often told by one, now no more in our ranks, who had a most pronounced ‘Dweller,’ a ‘Mr. Hyde,’ as an almost constant companion. ‘How can such a process take place without one’s knowledge?’ It can and does so happen, and I have almost described it once before in the Theosophist ….”

I hypothesize that the Soul may be experiencing many more successful incarnations in other dimensions and timelines, in the eternal Now, and that these two rather gruesome antagonists … the Dr. Jekyll and the Mr. Hyde … the hapless victim and the obsessing entity … may be doing a horrific tango in but two of these; or more aptly, one incarnation, and the dissolving tail-end of another incarnation. This interpretation I feel to be more resonant with the beneficent plan of the Almighty.

SUMMARY BY MADAME BLAVATSKY

“The Soul, the lower Mind, becomes as a half animal principle almost paralyzed with daily vice, and grows gradually unconscious of its subjective half, the Lord, one of the mighty Host; <and> in proportion to the rapid sensuous development of the brain and nerves, sooner or later, it (the personal Soul) finally loses sight of its divine mission on earth.

“Truly,

“Like the vampire, the brain feeds and lives and grows in strength at the expense of its spiritual parent … and the personal half-unconscious Soul becomes senseless, beyond hope of redemption. It is powerless to discern the voice of its <pg 526> God. It aims but at the development and fuller comprehension of natural, earthly life; and thus can discover but the mysteries of physical nature…. It begins by becoming virtually dead, during the life of the body; and ends by dying completely—that is, by being annihilated as a complete immortal Soul. Such a catastrophe may often happen long years before one’s physical death: “We elbow soulless men and women at every step in life.” And when death arrives … there is no more a Soul (the reincarnating Spiritual Ego) to liberate … for it has fled years before.

“Result: Bereft of its guiding Principles, but strengthened by the material elements, Kâma-Manas, from being a ‘derived light’ now becomes an independent Entity. After thus suffering itself to sink lower and lower on the animal plane, when the hour strikes for its earthly body to die, one of two things happens: either Kâma-Manas is immediately reborn in Myalba, [in Tibetan Buddhism, the lowest plane of hell] the state of Avîtchi on earth … or, if it become too strong in evil—‘immortal in Satan’ is the Occult expression—it is sometimes allowed, for Karmic purposes, to remain in an active state of Avîtchi in the terrestrial Aura.

“Then through despair and loss of all hope it becomes like the mythical ‘devil’ in its endless wickedness; it continues in its elements, which are imbued through and through with the essence of Matter; for evil is coeval with Matter rent asunder from Spirit.

“And when its Higher Ego has once more reincarnated, evolving a new reflection, or Kâma-Manas, the doomed lower Ego, like a Frankenstein’s monster, will ever feel attracted to its Father, who repudiates his son, and will become a regular ‘Dweller on the Threshold’ of terrestrial life.

“I gave the outlines of the Occult doctrine in the Theosophist of October, 1881, and November, 1882, but could not go into details, and therefore got very much embarrassed when called upon to explain. Yet I have written there plainly enough about ‘useless drones,’

  • “those who refuse to become co-workers with Nature and who perish by millions during the Manvantaric life-cycle;
  • “those, as in the case in hand, who prefer to be ever suffering in Avîtchi under Karmic law rather than give up their lives ‘in evil,’ and finally,
  • “those who are co-workers with Nature for destruction. These are thoroughly wicked and depraved men, but yet as highly intellectual and acutely spiritual for evil, as those who are spiritual for good. 

“The (lower) Egos of these may escape the law of final destruction or annihilation for ages to come. <pg 527>

Two Kinds of Soulless Men

“Thus we find two kinds of soulless beings on earth:

  • “those who have lost their Higher Ego in the present incarnation,
  • “and those who are born soulless, having been severed from their Spiritual Soul in the preceding birth.

… “The former are candidates for Avîtchi [hell … possibly hell in a redemptive sense];

More on Multiple Personality Disorder

… the latter are ‘Mr. Hydes,’ whether in or out of human bodies, whether incarnated or hanging about as invisible though potent ghouls. In such men, cunning develops to an enormous degree, and no one except those who are familiar with the doctrine would suspect them of being soulless, for neither Religion nor Science has the least suspicion that such facts actually exist in Nature.

Chanting Aum with a Feeling of Devotion to God May Redeem the Multiple Personality

“There is, however, still hope for a person who has lost his Higher Soul through his vices, while he is yet in the body. He may be still redeemed and made to turn on his material nature. For either an intense feeling of repentance, or one single earnest appeal to the Ego that has fled, or best of all, an active effort to amend one’s ways, may bring the Higher Ego back again.

“The thread of connection is not altogether broken, though the Ego is now beyond forcible reach, for ‘Antahkarana is destroyed,’ and the personal Entity has one foot already in Myalba; … yet it is not entirely beyond hearing a strong spiritual appeal.

“There is another statement made in Isis Unveiled … on this subject. It is said that this terrible death may be sometimes avoided by the knowledge of the mysterious Name, the ‘Word.’ What this ‘Word,’ which is not a ‘Word’ but a Sound, is, you all know. [Would this be Aum?]

“Its potency lies in the rhythm or the accent. This means simply that even a bad person may, by the study of the Sacred Science, be redeemed and stopped on the path of destruction. But unless he is in thorough union with his Higher Ego, he may repeat it, parrot-like, ten thousand times a day, and the ‘Word’ will not help him.

“On the contrary, if not entirely at one with his Higher Triad, it may produce quite the reverse of a beneficent effect, the Brothers of the Shadow using it very often for malicious objects; in which case it awakens and stirs up naught but the evil, material elements of Nature ….”

[I have heard Aum chanted in this self-serving way before, on the astral plane by Black Magickers. I heard as well, on the astral plane, that they attempted to copyright the word Aum so that no spiritual people on Earth could chant it without their permission; but, through God’s grace, they failed in their suit to make this universal holy word their proprietary trademark. On another tack, t is good to hear that this same word may be chanted, with love in our hearts.]

“But if one’s nature is good, and sincerely strives towards the Higher Self, which is that Aum, through one’s Higher Ego, which is its third <pg 528> letter, and Buddhi the second, there is no attack of the Dragon Apophis [per Wikipedia, an Ancient Egyptian mythological snake demon] which it will not repel.

“From those to whom much is given much is expected. He who knocks at the door of the Sanctuary in full knowledge of its sacredness, and after obtaining admission, departs from the threshold, or turns round and says, ‘Oh, there’s nothing in it!’ and thus loses his chance of learning the whole truth—can but await his Karma.

“Such are then the Esoteric explanations of that which has perplexed so many who have found what they thought contradictions in various Theosophical writings, including ‘Fragments of Occult Truth,’ in vols. iii. and iv. of The Theosophist, etc.

Be Aware that Each Step in Life … Whether Downward or Upward on the Spiritual Path … Generates Causes That Will Manifest Results in This or a Future Lifetime

“Before finally dismissing the subject, I must add a caution, which pray keep well in mind. It will be very natural for those of you who are Esotericists to hope that none of you belong so far to the soulless portion of mankind, and that you can feel quite easy about Avîtchi, even as the good citizen is about the penal laws. Though not, perhaps, exactly on the Path as yet, you are skirting its border, and many of you in the right direction.

“Between such venal faults as are inevitable under our social environment, and the blasting wickedness described in the Editor’s note on Éliphas Lévi’s ‘Satan,’ … there is an abyss. If not become ‘immortal in good by identification with (our) God,’ or Aum, Âtmâ-Buddhi-Manas, we have surely not made ourselves ‘immortal in evil’ by coalescing with Satan, the lower Self.

“You forget, however, that everything must have a beginning; that the first step on a slippery mountain slope is the necessary antecedent to one’s falling precipitately to the bottom and into the arms of death. Be it far from me the suspicion that any of the Esoteric students have reached to any considerable point down the plane of spiritual descent.

“All the same I warn you to avoid taking the first step. You may not reach the bottom in this life or the next, but you may now generate causes which will insure your spiritual destruction in your third, fourth, fifth, or even some subsequent birth.

“In the great Indian epic you may read how a mother whose whole family of warrior sons were slaughtered in battle, complained to Krishna that though she had the spiritual vision to enable her to look back fifty incarnations, yet she could see no sin of hers that could have begotten so dreadful a Karma; and Krishna answered her: ‘If thou could’st look back to thy fifty-first anterior birth, as I can, thou would’st see thyself killing in wanton cruelty the same number of <pg 529> ants as that of the sons thou hast now lost.’ This, of course, is only a poetical exaggeration; yet it is a striking image to show how great results come from apparently trifling causes ….” (1)

Dear Ones,

This is about black magic ‘lock downs’.

BLACK MAGIC ‘LOCK DOWN’ DEFINED

On the astral plane, a short while ago, I finally heard a definition of the term ‘lock down’ that I have been hearing about, on the astral airs, for some years now.

Apparently ‘lock down’ is when a group of black magicians contrives to mind control all the friends, family, and acquaintances of a person into thinking that they are the person’s enemy. And vice versa.

The operant word here is ‘group’ of black magicians … as it takes a group, each working on a specific person in the ‘lock down’ arena, to achieve a project this large. I am guessing it would take an ongoing psychic maintenance effort as well.

WHY WOULD BLACK MAGICIANS PRACTICE A ‘LOCK DOWN’?

Why would a black magic group do this? One reason would be if they think a person is a powerful sorcerer or black magician who threatens their group’s power over a population. Might be a population as large as Los Angeles, for instance.

CAUTION TO KUNDALINI YOGA PRACTITIONERS REGARDING BLACK MAGIC PRACTITIONERS

One thing I have noticed is that black magicians are unable to distinguish between psychic abilities and kundalini arisen. So I ask all the yogis who practice kundalini yoga … such as Healthy, Happy, Holy Organization (3HO) … https://www.3ho.org/ … for instance … to be careful not to find themselves in the crosshairs of black magicians.

Along those cautionary lines, consider this image showing a woman’s back, and the face of a cow in crosshairs …

Image: “Is killing a sin? A spiritual perspective” … https://www.spiritualresearchfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/Is-killing-a-sin.jpg ..

The accompanying article compares the karma of killing a woman to that of killing a cow …

Link: “Is Killing a Sin? A Spiritual Perspective” … https://www.spiritualresearchfoundation.org/spiritual-research/social-issues/is-killing-a-sin/ .. 

Common sense would lead a yogic woman to stay away from an organization that values a cow’s life more than that of a woman. In the same way, kundalini yoga practitioners would want to stay away from black magic groups, so that their bright kundalini energy will not be mistaken as a challenge to those who practice the black arts.

THE LIGHT OF THE SOUL

The difficulty lies in determining who is a black magician, and who is a person with strong kundalini energy. There is a Light of the Soul, that people get when their chakras are clear, often because of a kundalini rising experience. Often, also, people who practice Awareness of their hearts … such as those Christian groups that practice Heart Centering Prayer … have a very clear Light of the Soul.

THE ‘SEEMING LIGHT’

The Seeming Light is a psychic ability that makes a person appear very bright, in their aura, even though their chakras may not be completely clear, their kundalini may not be arisen, and / or they may not be placing Awareness on their hearts. These people with the Seeming Light are practitioners of the black arts …

Link: “Cloak of Seeming Light,” animated gif by Alice B. Clagett, imaged and published on 15 March 2020 … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-gWE ..

Here is 2 Corinthians on a similar topic …

13 “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of Light.
15 “Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” –2 Corinthians: 11:13-15 (KJV, public domain)

HOW LIGHTWORKERS, YOGA PRACTITIONERS, AND THOSE WHO PRACTICE HEART AWARENESS MISTAKE THE ‘SEEMING LIGHT’ AS BEING LIKE THEIR OWN

Recognizing the ruse of a black magician displaying the Seeming Light is very difficult for Lightworkers, kundalini yoga practitioners, and people who concentrate on heart Awareness. That is because we tend to see in other people, what we see in ourselves.

Thus, seeing a black magicker of Seeming Light, a Lightworker may say: How wonderful to meet a fellow Lightworker!

And a yoga practitioner might say: How wonderful to meet a fellow yoga practitioner!

And a person who concentrates on heart Awareness might say: How wonderful to meet a fellow heartfelt human being!

HOW BLACK MAGICKERS MISTAKE THE LIGHT OF THE SOUL TO BE THEIR OWN ‘SEEMING LIGHT’

In the same way, the black magicker of Seeming Light, on meeting a Lightworker, a kundalini yoga practitioner, or a person who concentrates on heart Awareness, might say: I have met a powerful black magicker. I and my fellow sorcerers must contrive a ‘lock down’ to contain the energy of this hated competitor. And then we will kill him.

HOW BLACK MAGICKERS WAR UPON EACH OTHER

You may have noticed, if you have read up on the topic, that black magicians hate each other too, and fear each other as rivals. Power is everything to the black magician. He may work beside another black magician for an eve and a day, in ‘locking down’ a Lightworker mistaken as an enemy. Then the next eve, he may turn upon and murder his former black magicker ally.

Be one black magicker the subordinate of another black magicker, for lack of necessary power to overcome him, then the moment his rival becomes ill, or experiences a compelling life event, such as the death of a spouse or parent, he will turn upon him with spells and incantations intended to wilt the life from his frame, and send his Soul howling to the hellworlds. With equal lack of inhibition, he will turn upon an aging master Mage, and murder him.

HOW BLACK MAGICKERS WAR UPON THEIR FOLLOWERS

So it is with the black magic crew: Do unto others, until they do unto you. When a cult forms around a black magician, it will be based on unfaltering submission and obedience by the followers, and untold cruelty by the Master Mage.

HOW TO KNOW IF A GROUP COVERTLY PRACTICES BLACK MAGIC

To my fellow Lightworkers, kundalini yoga practitioners, and persons who concentrate on heart Awareness, I advise: If you want to know whether a group covertly practices black magic, look at their history as a group. Is it rife with treachery, vengeance, ‘take downs’, and murderous intrigue? Does it preach peace, and practice war?

What is the tenor of its founder? What is the weight and warp of his Soul, the cast of his eyes, the heft and bent of his personality? Does he have a Masterplan? Does he crave world dominion? Are his aims anarchical? Is he a seditionist? Who is he, truly? What is the o’erarching aim of his presence in the world?

Do not mistake charisma for saintliness. Do not mistake Service to Self for Service to Others. Be discerning. Practice the power of discrimination as the Buddhists do. Know right from wrong. Know Light from Seeming Light. And in this way you and those you love will be able to lead safe and happy lives.

In love, light and joy

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

I have something to report about black magic, and black magic spells, and the karmic effect of them, that can be fixed up, and ameliorated, right now, as we ascend, so as to brighten up the karma of those who are … even without their intention … practicing black magic.

The information below is entirely a clair report, psychically sensed ‘psy in the sky’ … I have no evidence for it whatsoever, in physical terms. For that reason, the reader might hold it in the sense of entertaining but fictional reading, along the lines of occult lore.

BLACK MAGIC MALWARE: FALSE MEMORIES OF CHILDHOOD RAPE AMONG WOMEN

One of the dicta of the Demon Realm that involved humankind in black magic at the end of the Lemurian Age, was that mind control technique of imprinting False Memories on women … both girls and adult women … to the effect that their fathers, or a father figure, had sexually molested or raped them. People are beginning to find this out right now … that the Demon Realm has done that. And that it has also imparted that spell to Spiritual Adepts who seek worldly power: Money and fame and sexual gratification. Those are the main ‘lures’, I think.

In other words, these Spiritual Adepts are looking for something for themselves for or for their groups, rather than seeking to align with God. This sort of Spiritual Adept, who attains psychic powers for the purpose of pursuing worldly gain, is termed a Black Magician.

Those Spiritual Adepts who have fallen to that heresy of Service to Self sometimes receive that teaching from the founder of their group: To teach the women in their group, falsely, that they have been deeply mislead, and sexually molested, by a father or a father figure.

BLACK MAGICIANS AND ‘SHADOW MARRIAGE’: THE ‘MICHAEL-MICHELLE’ MALWARE

So this person, this Black Magician, decides to marry, for the sake of looks, for the congregation. But he must mind control the woman into feeling that he loves her, and that they have a relationship, when, in fact, they do not. They do not have a sexual relationship. His interests lie elsewhere … either on the astral plane, or on the physical plane; his initial intention being to enhance his psychic abilities through conservation of sexual energy and an ascetic lifestyle.

So the Black Magician mind controls his wife into thinking, in her subconscious mind, that a father, or father figure, molested her or raped her in her childhood … and instills in her a sense of horror towards the act of sex with a man.

So then, she serves him. Through mind control, she believes he is her faithful husband. She represents him in public as his wife. She keeps his house clean. There will probably be no children, but she cooks his meals for him. She backs him up, before other people, through all kinds of allegations. She stands by him. And she believes that he is her husband, when in fact he is a Black Magician.

That is the reason for this phenomenon that I am sensing more and more, amongst Black Magicians around the world: It seems that they always congregate with women who have this unfortunate past. But in fact, these are False Memories that are instilled through the practice of Black Magic.

BLACK MAGICIANS: USING FALSE MEMORIES TO MIND CONTROL WOMEN

When harmful false memories are implanted in a woman’s mind, the Black Magician can more easily get into her energy field. The thought that men have injured a woman, wounds the women’s energy field. When the woman’s energy field is not stable, then the mind control expert can more easily get in, and manipulate the mind of a woman.

One end he might have, would be the illusion of a happy marriage, for the sake of looks, as described above.

The more sinister applications would be mind control of visitors to the congregation, so as to elicit donations to the group. Or, mind control of women in the congregation, resulting in sexual liaison or marriage, murder of the woman, and theft of her wealth or squatting in her residence.

SEXUAL DEVIATIONS AMONGST BLACK MAGICIANS

Spiritual Arrogance and Shunning of Women as Sexual Partners

Psy in the Sky: One of the things that Black Magickers in America are doing, is picking amongst the women in their congregations, and marrying them, as described above. But … and I have not totally gotten to the bottom of this … they feel that women are inferior intellectually and emotionally, and easily manipulated with mind control.

So they feel that women are an unfit match for them … that they are beneath them. They tend to congregate with other Spiritual Adept men for sexual gratification, either on the physical plane or on the astral plane. They turn from their wives to the practice of increasingly dark sexual deviations. There are a number of complicated interweavings of Dark energies in the unfolding of this phenomenon.

Astral Rape Psychically Sensed Being as Being Practiced by Gangs of Celibate Black Magicians

Psy in the Sky: If a Black Magician feels that celibacy is the thing to do, then, on the astral plane, he will raid around the ‘astral airs’ with other Black Magicians, and rape both men and women on the astral plane.

Homosexuality, Sex with Children, and Murder of Women Psychically Sensed Amongst Black Magicians

Psy in the Sky: If he feels that it is all right to have sex sometimes, he will tend to pick male partners, or children, rather than women. And if he picks women, he is likely to murder them, as described above.

The Cause of Purported Sexual Deviation Amongst Black Magicians

Why is it that these men turn from their wives, to astral rape, in gangs of Black Magicians? And then to physical intercourse, say, with felons, or with people they feel to be disreputable, such as sex workers? And then, on to rape and murder of younger and younger children, till they get down to infants … and rape them, and throw them on the dumpster?

Well, it is an interesting process, to do with Soul learning regarding the evilness of mind control. There are a number of complicated interweavings of Dark energies that cause this phenomenon. I will explain …

Here in the fourth and third dimensions on Earth, we have the free will choice of two paradigms: Service to Self, and Service to Others. Modeling of both paradigms is readily available. But Service to Self … or Power Over … is not the best choice for Soul evolution …. for God realization, if you will. For us to experience God realization, we must first learn to respect everyone else, and allow them the blessing of having their own free will.

And so, for the Black Magician, who has chosen the paradigm termed Service to Self, the penalty, in terms of the life lived, grows greater and greater, the longer he persists in that practice.

A Proposed Mechanism of the Turn to Sexual Deviance

Then, as far as the coursing of the energies is concerned … The wife who is injured through implantation of False Memories is always crying out, on the astral plane. She is always crying out, with regard to men. And this wife-in-name-only reminds the Black Magician of a child.

And so, in his mind, he is always hearing the cries of a child who is being raped. That samskara enters his own energy field, and induces him to greater and greater acts of violence towards younger and younger people. That is my understanding of it.

The very act of mind control of women, and injury of their energy field, causes this Achilles heel, this great social injury of raping and killing children … buying them from their mothers … buying them abroad, because it is cheaper. Giving them HIV, because the Black Magician has been with felons (who are more likely than others to have HIV, because of having done sex work or having been raped in prison).

RECAP: FOR BLACK MAGICIANS

So to recap, what apparently happens, when Spiritual Adepts use mind control to imprint that False Memory on the women in their group, is that they become prone to becoming child molesters themselves. They are turned toward the practice of using children for sex. That does make sense, because the women in the group, in their subconscious minds, are always talking about that act.

And so, the men in the group, who have imprinted that False Memory, become susceptible to that thought. That explains the karma of raping children that seems to be happening, for the men in the Black Magic groups around the world right now.

So I am suggesting that the men look at this karma. That will bring them to an Awareness of how, instead of a win-lose situation in their group … men win; women lose … they are creating a lose-lose situation, because of the backlash of karma against them. And then they will begin to understand that the teachings they receive from the Demon Realm, for power over the world, are not to their benefit, or to the benefit of anyone on Earth.

It is a first step; but it is a giant step. It is a really good one, in clearing up the false understanding that men can gain what they want by practicing Black Magic.

PREDILECTION OF BLACK MAGICIANS FOR FELONS AS SEX PARTNERS

Catastrophic Early Childhood Soul Experiences Involving the Act of Sex

Then as to the purported (psychically intuited) predilection for felons as sex partners amongst with Black Magicians, from what I have noticed on the psychic plane … Amongst Black Magicians who do this, there is always an early childhood incident that is greatly damaging. It has to do either with the child killing the parents, or else the child killing a sibling, to do with the act of sex. It always has to do with that.

In one case, I saw, on the astral plane, that the child tried, in adolescence, his first act of sex with a woman who had a boyfriend. And the boyfriend came along, and castrated him. And he went back to his father, and the father killed both the woman and the man, apparently. Or at least the woman.

So the very first attempt, or feeling, of sexuality, results in absolute disaster … burning down the family home, and everyone in it. Or killing a baby sister, and then getting castrated. Something that normal people never have to deal with.

The Notion that the Act of Sex Is Catastrophically Evil

After that, the notion of sex becomes catastrophically evil. They want nothing to do with sex. They become a Black Magician. They want power over other people. I guess maybe they do not want anything like that childhood incident ever to happen to them again. Maybe that is part of it. So then, they are doing a workaround … because they still have a sex drive. But it is negatively aspected. And the energy field, in the area of the second chakra, is greatly injured.

All these things that show up, over and over again, both abroad and here in the United States, have to do with the injury to the second chakra, I feel. Sometimes there is injury to the first chakra too … if they have been threatened with the notion that they are going to be killed. I should think that castration in early childhood would cause that problem as well.

I have talked about it before: Fear of death, linked to the act of sex. And the desire to kill, so as to overcome that. So the act of sex becomes the thrill of the kill. And this is linked, somehow, in certain segments of that population with catastrophic early childhood experiences to do with sexual expression, to the Black Magic cults.

On Black Magicians Seeking Felons as Sex Partners Because Sex Is Felt to Be Dangerous and Evil

Before doing felonious acts such as rape or murder for sexual thrill, or in lieu of that, Black Magicians, if carrying the memory of catastrophic early childhood experiences, have a feeling that the act of sex is dangerous and wrong … life threatening … against the law, or maybe full of sinfulness.

That, I feel, is why they seek out felons and sex workers with whom to have sex … They may be projecting their own feelings of the evilness of the act of sex on their sex partners, and selecting their sex partners through this filter of ‘evilness’. In other words, they may be looking for sex partners they feel are evil enough to perform an act they consider to be inherently evil.

DISCLOSURE AND HEALING: A CALL TO ACTION

Instances of catastrophic early childhood experiences to do with the act of sex are beginning to be discovered right now because of Disclosure … It is becoming clear what is going on. And the problem I have is, I have no clue what to do about it, if the injury is so deep. And the acts are so atrocious to the notions of propriety in society, that no one would believe me even if I mentioned it.

And so, I am waiting. I am waiting for you, to figure this out, and to figure out what to do about it. Humankind needs to know what is happening, and needs to figure out what to do about it. Not so much in terms of justice, but in terms of healing all of us. Healing humankind. What can we do? What can we do?

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