Dear Ones,

A video about the homeless encampments of the Great Depression, the situation in America today, and the solutions implemented by President Theodore Roosevelt long ago. What answers to this problem might be usefully considered today? Also, American work furlough programs as the wave of the future for prisoners convicted of less notably violent crimes.

There is an edited Summary after the video. Then there are additional sections that supplement the topic of the video.

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

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

I thought I would tell you a story that my mom told me, in relation to a newspaper story that I saw the other day. The two are related, but they are miles apart in terms of years and generations …

My Mother’s Story About Employment of the Homeless for Public Works in the Great Depression

When I was very young, my mother told me the story of the Great Depression. That was the time she lived through before I was born. In the time of the Great Depression, there was no work to be had. There were a number of reasons why many men could not find work at all. And so, she said, they left their homes and their families, in hopes of finding work elsewhere. And they roamed around and lived under bridge abutments, off the sides of roads, in crude encampments of tent dwellings … and looked for work from there, in hopes that they could get money to support their families.

These tent villages were huge sometimes; and there was some lawlessness there … sometimes fighting and brawling and alcohol drinking, and maybe even occasionally murders … and of course there was a problem with sanitation, and how they might find enough food to eat; and whether their tents would hold up in a rainstorm, whether they could be warm in the snow, and so forth.

These were desperate men. And the people in the towns, who lived near these homeless encampments, would come to the tent villages, and there would be huge fights and killings and drivings off of people, and so forth.

Then finally it came to the attention of the government, and they tried to think of a solution to this problem. One of the things they came up with, was the idea of hiring these people to do public works projects all over the United States … and often in areas that were rural.

So they would hire them. And in that way these people would have just enough money to support their families. And the Works Progress Administration would hire them; and in that way these people would have just enough money to support their families. And they would transport them to very rural locations.

One of the ideas I have is that then they could get into no trouble; there would be no alcohol; they could get their food supplied for them; and they would be with other people who were in equal economic straits, in a place where there was really nothing to be done but very hard work … with good results too, because among these public works projects of the 1930s, many still remain today. Bridges were built all over the United States. They worked on all kinds of public projects, including roads. And they did great work, very enduring work that is still there. They built the transportation system of America.

During a time when there was no hope, the government helped to supply them with a living for themselves and their families.

A Recent News Story about a Homeless Encampment

That is mom’s story. And so now to get to the story that I saw in the newspaper that I saw in the newspaper the other day: I saw a story about a homeless encampment in San Francisco. There wree problems that were reminiscent of the homeless encampments in the 1930s, problems with lawlessness, sanitation, the use of drugs, and so on.

Consequently the government ordered that everyone leave that area. Some people complied, and some people would not comply. At the time that I read this newspaper article, there were people who were determined to stay and express their right to be where they were.

I feel it is time for the government to consider what can be done to employ these people. For instance, there was a nurse there who had lost her work. What can be done to turn around this situation? How can these people be housed? How can they receive medical care? How can they get hope back into their lives?

It is important. This time is now. We do not want homelessness and lawlessness in our cities. But the answer is not violence. The answer is not government edicts to move on. The answer is some constructive thing that can help them to achieve whatever goals they may have that are positively oriented towards society.

I hope this will be considered in the near future, for America. We thought of it long ago. This is just like a redux; it is a return to something to help them maintain their ideal of the American dream, just as we who are homed hope to maintain that ideal.

On Restorative Justice and Work Ethic Education of Prisoners

There is one more thing that I found out during my recent road trip north through California. I was in Ukiah, the county seat of Mendocino County, where there was a work realignment program that allowed all but violent criminals to work at jobs like emptying trash receptacles and road work, and so forth, and then just be in prison at night.

Link: “Corrections: Alternative Programs,” at Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office … http://www.mendocinosheriff.com/corrections/workrelease.html … Home Detention, Work Release, Work Furlough

I believe this was for people who had been convicted of crimes that were not notably violent. This seems to be the wave of the future for criminal justice: Not so much to house people in hopeless circumstances, where they simply scheme to get back at society for what has been done to them, but instead to allow them a chance to work towards a change in their attitude … a chance to have jobs like other people have, and a chance to be treated more humanely, so that they can begin to learn the true rules of society. I say this because I feel it likely that people who operate from the perspective of the criminal mind have not been granted that kind of view of the way that society functions, that most people get. So this is a chance to do that.

You all take care. Love you lots. Bye bye.

[This is the end of the video. The following are supplemental sections …]

HOW SAN FRANCISCO IS DEALING WITH ITS 6,000 HOMELESS

I recently perused an article that mentioned there are now 6,000 homeless in San Francisco …

LInk: “San Francisco Wants Homeless to Leave Tent Camp, But Some Vow to Fight,” by Thomas Fuller, 26 February 2016 … http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/27/us/san-francisco-wants-homeless-to-leave-tent-camp-but-some-vow-to-fight.html?_r=0 ..

San Francisco’s response to this problem was to evacuate a tent city on Division Street, citing health problems. Of course, the larger problem is: What to do about the homeless all across America.

THE SHANTYTOWNS OR ‘HOOVERVILLES’ OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION

This Wikipedia article describes the homeless encampments of the Great Depression …

LInk: “Hooverville” … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooverville ..

In the early 1930s, millions were homeless. Those living on the streets numbered in the hundreds of thousands.

In bitter derision of then-President Herbert Hoover, homeless shantytowns were termed ‘Hoovervilles’. Homeless families were camped out in New York’s Central Park. There were eight Hoovervilles in Seattle. There was a very large Hooverville in St. Louis as well, with 4 districts and its own mayor.

“The Bonus Army” was a group of World War I veterans who established a Hooverville in the District of Columbia. At its peak, this shantytown numbered 15,000 veterans seeking their benefits. Apparently, there was much violence surrounding this encampment. Here is a very famous photo of veterans fighting with law enforcement …

The Bonus Army shantytown was finally burned down …

It looks like a similar situation existed in Houston in the 1930s …

THE NEW DEAL AND PUBLIC WORKS TO EMPLOY THE UNEMPLOYED

The New Deal was President Theodore Roosevelt’s answer to the Great Depression. See …

LInk: “New Deal,” in Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Deal#Public_works ..

President Roosevelt’s Public Works program, mentioned in the video and in the Wikipedia article, put many homeless men to work building bridges, dams, courthouses, post offices, and roads. It might be good to have such a government program today to employ the homeless and help build a better America.

Dear Ones,

An historic stone fountain once located near Buckhorn Summit on Route 299 in California. In 2015 it was moved to the Moon Lee rest area near Douglas City, California …

The fountain features a sink fed by a local spring, where water can be gathered for a cooler or a car radiator. On the lower left is a step for children to clamber up, so they can drink from the faucet. On the lower right is a stone bowl that can be filled so that a dog or horse can have a drink of water.

Ingenious, long lasting, and very practical, I feel. I hope this will be inspiration for the building of many more such fountains.

Here is what the above sign on the fountain says …

“Stone fountains were built in the 1930s as part of a highway beautification program that also developed roadside picnic facilities, public campgrounds, vista points, and rock walls.

“This fountain originally sat on the west side of Buckhorn Summit on State Route 299 in Shasta County. It was gravity-fed from a spring above the highway providing radiator and drinking water to travelers. This simple design includes a step on one side to allow children to reach the drinking spout while the other side has a built-in basin so dogs can drink.”

Dear Ones,

Here are my thoughts on the United States economy, the American Dream, and things we as a community of humankind might think of working on together for ourselves and for the sake of our children.

Local economies, middle America, small business. Prices and the Consumer Price Index (CPI). How can we have safe places, good businesses, good schools, environments where the American ideals are looked up to?

How can folks in our communities support each other in grassroots ways?

What would be the advantage of smaller homes, electronics-free homes, and sustainable living?

The healing effect of interacting with the Great Outdoors, with church, and with friends.

How can we help our children grow into the ideals of Democratic living that were envisioned when the Constitution was written?

The video is followed by an edited Summary …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

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

I have something to say about the United States right now, and the economy, that really struck me as I traveled about. I only have the video of this place, but I will talk a little about some other places I visited too.

Development Opportunity: Abandoned Planned Subdivision 40 Miles South of Barstow

Right now I am maybe 40 miles south of Barstow. It is desert land. There are mountains here; and I expect, if you live higher up on the mountains, it is cooler in the middle of the summer. It is pretty barren; I will show you. [Shows a curbed, greystone-paved road in the desert.]

You will notice these curbs here in the middle of the desert. There was a road here; this is greystone in the middle. or greystone mixed with granite. And then there was this pretty fancy curb, going along here.

And off in the distance there are, probably water pipes or sewer pipes? … And more of them [piled on the sand] all around here.

And there was this giant subdivision apparently planned here, some time ago. [Shows a planting of trees in the desert.] And you will notice these trees here seem to be part of the plantation that took place, in addition to the curbs and the roads that were set up.

And those trees are still alive; but there were quite a few palm trees that just did not make it. This was a little forest of palm trees that did not make it … See here? [Shows dead palm trees.]

And over here, on the other side, this was the main road into the planned subdivision … [Shows majestically wide, greystone-paved road] … and there are plantings of palm trees all along it. I thought maybe some were still alive, but [zooms to the top of one palm tree] I think maybe they passed on for lack of water.

I just came in the entrance road. Then I took a look at the buildings over here. There are a few buildings … [shows buildings, with graffiti on their outer walls] … all deserted, and then I guess there is a school over there, which is in excellent repair … a good-looking school, on the other side of the [paved] road [outside the subdivision].

But basically, what we have here is somebody’s dream … one person’s American dream. He probably put a lot of money into it … probably bought the land for not much money, then arranged for this build-out … what do you call it, when you get the curbs and the roads in? …. Also, I saw drainage ditches for water to flow through in the wet season.

So they planned for water drainage too, and probably had plans for all the utilities, for people they hoped would buy homes here.

But the few buildings that were on the property are just to wrack and ruin right now. And then this other building over here … [shows a one-story, smallish building] … it had a tile roof. Maybe it was a sales office? … The tiles are all down. Maybe somebody is using them to build a new house, or is demolishing that place? I do not know.

Route 66 Redevelopment and Resettlement Opportunities

So, a little earlier this winter, I was travelling down Route 66. You know Route 66 … the song about that from long ago, and how you get your kicks on Route 66?

Video: “Rolling Stones – Route 66 1976.” by Hairyblues, 24 march 2014 … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE36QIwwkOc ..

It used to be the main thoroughfare that people used … one of them … from the East to the West, in the United States.

And then later, the superhighways were built, East to West, and all the businesses along Route 66 languished because of it … because most of the traffic would bypass Route 66 and go down these very fast superhighways instead.

But, if you would really like an enjoyable trip through America, I would suggest taking what remains of Route 66, if possible, because it is much more scenic.

One thing I noticed about Route 66 was that it was a little like this [the abandoned planned subdivision]: There were just so many buildings that were boarded up, or half-way demolished or deserted. Or maybe one person would be living in a motel or hotel that used to see a thriving business.

There were some businesses that would cater to the local population, that were open and doing ok. But that was the minority of businesses in those places.

Scenes from Route 66, January 2016. [The below photos are not in the video.]

Not Covered in the News: The Great Slowdown That Is Taking Place in the American Economy

What I got, in those areas, is that the slow-down in the economy in the United States is pretty big … and that there are other issues that may be covered in the news, that are really not relevant to our lives, as Americans, that are taking up the spot, on the news, that should be covered by discussion of what we should do about the local economies. What should we do. to help Middle America rise to meet its financial needs? What, in the way of business aid? What, in the way of helping people accomplish their dreams in America? You know?

Inflation, Perhaps Not Fully Represented in Changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI)

And the other thing that I have been noticing lately, whenever I go to a store, is that the prices are … I do not know what has happened, in the last few years, with regard to prices … It is phenomenal, really, how much prices have risen. At least, so it seems to me. I do not know what the cause of it is. It seems to me, too, that this increase in the cost of goods is not fully represented in changes in the consumer price index (the CPI).

Call to Action: Let Congress Consider How to Help Middle America Achieve the American Dream

the failure of businesses, in all but the large cities, it seems,
and the very greatly increased price of goods, which I do not find that much substantiation for, in the Consumer Price Index,

… these two things add up to economic difficulties in the United States that are not being squarely and honestly faced, I feel.

And I hope, during the coming year, that Congress has a chance to look at all this, and hear the stories of Americans, and rise to the aid of the average person, who needs a safe place and a good business, good schools, to keep his or her family safe, and to let them grow up in an environment where the American ideals are cherished and espoused and looked up to … rather than a crime-ridden place that is full of bad examples of the way to Wisdom and Love and Light … the kind of place where a family can feel that their lives are not threatened, as they go about their daily activities.

But instead, the community looks, one family to the next family, for support and understanding and assistance in grassroots growing of local businesses, and sustainable living. What do you say?

Would a Changeup to Sustainable Living Negatively or Positively Affect Quality of Life in America?

Suppose we had much smaller houses, with a lot more space around them … Would not that be easier to heat and to keep cool in the summertime? Would not the prices of utilities be lower? And outside, the children could be playing, right? Would not that be cool?

Would Less Ownership of Electronics Abate Neighborhood Theft?

And the other thing I am thinking is that, the question might be raised … family to family … Whether we really need the electronics that are so sought after by the break-in experts, and the thieves, and so forth. What would happen, if our family did without television sets and computers and handhelds, and so forth? How would our quality of life be affected? Would it be worse, or would it be better? Would we be stronger in our ethics and our values with, or without, the virtual reality?

I made up my own mind about this long ago, and decided I did not really want television in my life. I did not want that kind of entertainment; that my entertainment would be the Great Outdoors, and church, and friends … playing dominoes, and so forth.

What Can We Do to Make America a Better Place to Live?

My thought is: What can we all do, to make America a better place to live? More safe for our children? And what can we do to help our children grow into the ideals of democratic living that were envisioned when the Constitution was written? That is what I think. We have a lot of questions to answer right now.

You all, take care. I love you lots. I wish you great abundance, and prosperity, and happiness … each and every one.

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

These are Fallen Angels: Princes of Light (but not love) who have squared off as ‘controlling’ our big cities on Earth. The big cities are their prime turf because quality of life in the big cities is low. And so the Souls there are filled with sadness. For more on the energetic barriers that separate the big cities from New Earth, search my category: City domes

We humans, in our 3D-4D state of Awareness, are no match for these 5th dimension negative entities. They are far more wily than we. They wrote the book regarding the linguistic loopholes that are able to bind us to the Dark on this Free Will Planet.

VETTING HIGHER ENTITIES: 5D POSITIVE OR 5D NEGATIVE?

So it is of the utmost importance, when we sense the presence of non-corporeal entities, to vet them. Ask them if they are ‘benevolent beings of love and Light’.

Typically they will counter with: Did you say: Beings of Light?

When they say this, you know they are looking for linguistic loopholes. If you say yes, they will figure they fit the bill. This is because they are 5D negative, and very bright compared to your 3D-4D presences in the multidimensional reality.

5D positive does not act this way. The benevolent beings of Light work with our total energies to upgrade, refine, and balance them, and to eliminate malware, astral implants, and malspeak.

They do not waste time with intellectual arguments, word play, and making us humans wrong.
They do not tell us we have not made the grade, and have to be recycled to Source.
They do not say we need to drop our sex organs, implying that sexuality is not fit for New Earth.
They do not say they need to take us up in a spaceship, because Earth is too dangerous to be on right now.
They do not say Earth has blown up, and that they are doing all this for our own safety.

No. These benevolent beings of Light are only here to help us ascend: To help our whole bodies to ascend … including the sex drive, which is the engine of New Creation on New Earth. Earth exists … Let your own eyes verify this for you.

Earth is beautiful, vibrant with 5D energy, and ready to help us adjust our mental bodies to this new reality. Earth is safe. Earth is our loving mother, and will shepherd our beautiful Souls and hearts through this process of adjustment to the magnificence of our multidimensional being. All this is completely true, without a doubt. Our eyes, our hearts, and our feet will tell us so.

THE DIMENSIONS OF OUR UNIVERSE

72 Dimensions of Reality … Judy Satori

This Universe has many dimensions … and not just the physical, or ‘third’ dimension we can see with our physical eyes. There are 72 dimensions in the Universe; these become increasinlyg available to humans during certain astrogeophysical events. For more on this, see …

The most important of these 72 dimensions, in terms of the arisen human form, being the first through the 12th dimensions, which are formed dimensions … That is to say, form manifests, whether visible or invisible to our physical eyes, in these 12 dimensions.

Seeding of Earthly Dimensions and Transport to Higher Dimensions Through the Arcturian Corridor … Suzan Carroll

“The Law of One: The Ra Material” Regarding the Twelve Lower Dimensions

Note that there are 12 lower dimensions, or ‘densities’, as the dimensions are termed in “The Law of One: The Ra Material.” Of these, the first seven are known to Ra.

Infinite intelligence is the ‘alpha and omega’ … the circle of being. See Session 16, Question-Answer 21: 16.21 … https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=16#21 ..

The circle never stops. The densities are like a circle or a series of cycles [like the torus in all lifeform aspects].

I did a search for the term: Density … available here … https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?q=density … I have sorted the results by dimension, as follows …

1D (the first dimension, or ‘density’ as it is termed in “The Law of One”) is the density in which a planet solidifies. See Session 82, Question-Answer 13: 82.13 … https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=82#13 ..

1D is red. See Session 40, Question-Answer 3: 40.3 … https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=40#3 ..

1D is the cycle of awareness. See Session 16, Question-Answer 21: 16.21 … https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=16#21 ..

…..

2D (the second dimension or density) is the density of minerals, of higher plant and animal life, lacking self-awareness. See Session 9, Question-Answer 14: 9.14 … https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=9#14 … and Session 19, Question-Answer 2: 19.2 … https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=19#2 ..

2D is orange. See Session 40, Question-Answer 3: 40.3
… https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=40#3 ..

2D is the cycle of growth. See Session 16, Question-Answer 21: 16.21 … https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=16#21 ..

…..

3D is the density of sentient, self-aware lifeforms. For more on this, see Session 13, Question-Answer 21: 13.21 … https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=13#21 ..

3D is yellow. See Session 41; Question-Answer 14: 41.14
… https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=41#14 ..

3D is the cycle of self-awareness. See Session 16, Question-Answer 21: 16.21 … https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=16#21 ..

…..

4D is the dimension of love or understanding, whether of self or of other. See Session 20, Question-Answer 36: 20.36 … https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=20#36 ..

4D is green. Session 63, Question-Answer 25: 63.25 … https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=63#25 ..

4D is the cycle of love and understanding. See Session 16, Question-Answer 21: 16.21 … https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=16#21 ..

From 4D negative the graduation to 5D negative is often the case; but in 6D, there are no negative beings.See Session 47, Question-Answer 5: 47.5 … https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=47#5 ..

…..

5D is very white. See Session 33, Question-Answer 20: 33.20 … https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=33#20 ..

5D is the cycle of light or wisdom. See Session 16, Question-Answer 21: 16.21 … https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=16#21 ..

…..

A 6D entity may be a Sun or, rarely, a Wanderer. See Session 41, Question-Answer 5: 41.5 … https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=41#5 … and Session 36, Question-Answer 16: 36.16 … https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=36#16 ..

6D is golden white. See Session 33, Question-Answer 20: 33.20 … https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=33#20 ..

6D is the cycle of cycle of light/love, love/light, or unity. Session 16, Question-Answer 21: 16.21 … https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=16#21 ..

…..

7D is the gateway. See Session 16, Question-Answer 21: 16.21 … https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=16#21 ..

…..

8D is not yet known to Ra.

HIGHER NEGATIVE ENTITIES: 5D TO 8D NEGATIVE

The higher negative entities, per “The Law of One: The Ra Material,” typically exists at 5D negative, and apparently very occasionally as high as 8D negative.

For more on this, see “The Law of One: The Ra Material,” Session 11, Question-Answers 8-13, https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=11 ..

I think when Ra speaks of 6D to 8D in the above passage, it may be speaking of beings such as we are dealing with in Earth’s big cities. These are the Fallen Angels who have carved out fiefdoms and principalities on Earth.

Humans and Possibly Other Sorts of Beings Who Have Ascended on the Service to Self Path

Ra has also described humans who have ascended on the service to self (negative) path. Specifically mentioned are Taras Bulba, Genghis Khan, and Rasputin. I guess because conditions were not right for them to continue their Soul journeys on Earth, they have moved off-planet. From 3D negative (single-minded dedication to service to self, making use of Atlantean memories) they would proceed to 4D negative … which is, in fact, what happened; one went to Cassiopeia, one to the Southern Cross, and one to the Orion group. So from this explanation, I gather that the ‘meanest, baddest’ folks on Earth, till now, have proceeded to 4D negative.

But when Ra refers to the few who have made it to 8D negative … I wonder, is he talking about humans or other sorts of beings that once dwelt on Earth?

In any case, clearly not many who graduated to 4D negative have made it higher than 5D negative. In every other instance that I have found in the Law of One, Ra talks about a 5D negative entity that controls many 4D negative entities here on Earth.

LIGHTWORKER STRATEGY RIGHT NOW: CALLING ON OUR ASCENSION TEAM FOR HELP

Image: Stillson wrench … https://i.stack.imgur.com/aJbKT.jpg ..

Now as to Lightworker strategies, right now: It seems clear to me that there is a glass ceiling for the higher negative entities, due to flaws in the tenets of their social memory complex. So, in the ‘formed worlds’ … 1st to 12th dimension, these dudes who throw a Stillson wrench into the works, a snaggy branch into the flowing waters of New Creation, are out-trumped by our allies in 9-12D.

Every time we are about to accept a new download of Light, the 5D negative beings I was talking about will show up. Zoom! And they are there… This is highly expectable … Par for the course. No big deal. Just another Dark Attack. Know that you are going to get the Light upgrade regardless of the interference. So if they start to question you in English, like a very intelligent 5D law firm, just stop talking to them.

The proper response to them is ‘like to like, with an opposite flavor’: 5D positive (or higher) to 5D negative (or higher).

This is the battle plan for those dealing with the big cities of Earth: Call your Ascension team. Know that they number 10,000 per human person. You have all the help you need, but you must call upon them. Unlike 5D negative beings, 5D positive beings scrupulously honor your free will. So do call on them.

I read online about a short activation of Light that deals with these beings; see …

Link: “Spiritual Deliverance” … https://ascensionglossary.com/index.php/Spiritual_Deliverance … The whole blog is fascinating; see especially the section: Reading Rights

I have been doing the “Ascension Glossary” Reading of Rights invocation over the past week, with excellent results. As to the astral commotion that briefly ensues: Not to worry. These are pretty stubborn, august beings, very intent on maintaining their toeholds in the big cities. There will be another place for them in this great Universe, and your Team knows where that place may be. Relocations that are underway are not a painful process, except from the stance of the mental intransigence of a Fallen Angel.

May you have the same good results from this invocation as I have had! And that is the most important part of this message. For those with an interest, here is a little more …

THE BIG CITY COMBAT ZONES

In June 2015, “Energetic Synthesis” posted a blog on “Restoring Energetic Balance” …

Link: “Restoring Energetic Balance,” by “Energetic Synthesis,” June 2015 … https://energeticsynthesis.com/index.php/resource-tools/news-shift-timelines/2650-restoring-energetic-balance ..

Therein are described problems that are occurring in war zones and big cities right now. Under the subheading “Reading Rights for Eviction” are described the entities that I have characterized in the first part of this blog. The eviction process spoken of, is the same Reading of Rights invocation I mentioned above. This is an excellent explanation of the Reading of Rights now underway among Lightworkers.

Whether or not we Lightworkers are located in war zones or big cities, we can still work with them. In natural, peaceful settings, it is sometimes easier to clear and keep clear the malware and malspeak. Then too, when our own energy bodies are clear, we can the more easily participate in the clearing of the energies of Earth and humankind.

MIND BOGS WITHIN THE BIG CITY DOMES

Image: City in a greyish bubble … https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/003/301/755/large/xiaohui-hu-3-2.jpg?1472180693 ..

I am clear that the distortion of Light, the energetic bubble, around Earth’s big cities is creating a ‘mind bog’for urban dwellers. I feel this may be involved in the ungrounded experience termed the False Ascension Matrix …

Link: “False Ascension Matrix” … https://ascensionglossary.com/index.php/False_Ascension_Matrix ..

Interference and Dark Attacks in the Big Cities

People everywhere on Earth want to ascend. But the energetic interference in the big cities is warping their concept of Ascension.

By energy interference, I mean here, aside from the global stressors of Earth’s electromagnetic field fluctuations with the typical Solar Events, with emotional affect because of the increased Incoming Light, the following forms of interference more often found in big cities …

noise pollution, which degrades the DNA and the Body of Light
radiation
pollution of water by human waste and toxic chemicals
fluoridation of city water supplies
air pollution
noospheric (1) pollution (the Hollywood and Associated Press mental filters)
invasion of personal noospheric ‘air space’ through world live webcam services
nighttime pollution of the natural dark by city lights
pollution of the upper atmosphere through satellite to ground communication (handhelds, cell towers, computers, TV)
human crowding … the ‘ mad hamster’ effect (2)
imbalance of the natural world through absence of devic guidance
increased incidence of death through traffic accidents
acting out, or witnessing, of violence on the physical plane, and last but not least
the interference of the Fallen Angels and negative astral entities. Which, irksome as it may be, is but the icing on the cake.

These many forms of Interference in the large cities of Earth that makes it more likely that urban dwellers may experience Dark Attacks in conjunction with downloads of Incoming Light. Dark Attacks are scary, but when held in the context of the incoming grace, need not be of great concern, even if we live in a city, provided we take steps to be in a quiet, restful place as the Light arrives (as, for instance, when coronal mass ejections are impacting Earth).

Big Cities: Lack of Grounding Because of the Urban Standoff in the Devic War with Demonry

Image: Deva of Ceremonial … https://web.archive.org/web/20150329192421im_/http://kheper.net/ecognosis/images/Deva_of_Ceremonial.jpg … Because this Deva is standing in a city, I think of it as a Deva of a City.

As Earth comes into balance, devas will protect and overlight the energy of small towns and small human communities, as in days of old …

Link: “Understanding Devas,” by Steven Guth … https://www.kheper.net/ecognosis/understanding-devas/ ..

I am particularly irked that the lovely, joyful nature spirits who are trapped in the big cities are at the mercy of negative astral entities, and are being mind controlled to their own great upset and emotional distress.

As things stand, the devas, whose work it is to oversee the natural order and the balance of regions of Earth, cannot get into the big cities at all. For these magnificent beings of Light, to enter the cities would be death.

They are distraught over this interruption of their carrying out of their duties, which they take very seriously. They are distraught over what has happened to those nature spirits trapped in big cities. They have told all the nature spirits to avoid humankind completely, so as to keep their charges from harm. I find this situation unsupportable. Unbearable. But that is my personal understanding, and my own sensitivity to the needs of the natural world, and not yet the understanding of many.

ESCAPING FROM BIG CITIES

Image: A tent and campfire on the shore of a lake … https://onmilwaukee.com/images/articles/ca/camping/camping_fullsize_story1.jpg?20080730123152 ..

If you are now living and working in a big city, and can see your way clear to get out of it, in service to Earth, then by all consider the alternatives. If you are, overall, still comfortable living in a big city … if the positives outweigh the negatives … then why not change up a little by taking an outing to a wilderness area from time to time … especially at times of Solar Events and Gateways? Also, if possible, on Friday and Saturday nights, which as those of you who are clair no doubt know, can be times of increased chaotic node intensity.

If you live in a big city, and feel your life has no quality, but do not know why, then why not take a long weekend or a week, go out to the wilderness, and clear your malware? At that point you will be able to see the situation more clearly. National forests are a good option, if camping is allowed. Low end motels in outlying areas can be inexpensive, if you need a break from camping. I am sure there are many other possibilities. Your own heart will guide you to the right place, as surely as a lodestone attracts iron.

HOW TO EXIT A BIG CITY SAFELY

If you are exiting a big city, negative alien entities will attempt to keep you trapped within the city energy bubble. For more on the energetic barriers that separate the big cities from New Earth, search my category: City domes

Use prayer or chanting, divine song, hymns, or recite Biblical passages during your journey out of the city. If possible, take city streets, not freeways, as you exit the city.

If you must drive on the freeways to get out of a city, know that demonic curses are in place to cause you to fall asleep on the freeway or have a traffic accident. The minute your mind becomes unclear, or drowsiness starts to set in, get off the freeway, get out of the car, and put your feet on the ground. If necessary, nap in your car till you feel refreshed.

Plan for this to happen as you exit, so that your subconscious mind will not be able to overrule your conscious awareness of the interference you will encounter while driving. This interference can hit all of a sudden, so be ready to take the first exit that comes up, no matter what your rational mind tells you.

Drive during the day, not at night. Drive during the least trafficky time of day. Do not worry about being totally complete with your packing … You can buy your toothpaste anywhere!

Image: Christ carrying a sick person along a seashore … https://dailybreadinternational.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/jesus-carries-me.jpg ..

PERSEVERING THROUGH CHAOTIC NODES WHILE IN BIG CITIES

If you find yourself in a big city during a chaotic node, keep your cool. Your own back yard or home is the best place to be. If possible, call in to work for sick leave. Do not do any freeway driving, especially during rush hour. If you must work, take the time to take the city streets.

A chaotic node is not a time to get straight on our relationships, as very small relationship isses that arise during a chaotic node can turn into huge issues all of a sudden; these same relationship issues that arise during chaotic nodes often dissolve completely after the node dissipates. Quiet meditation, (3) or a nice nap, or sitting for a while in sun or shade, are good options.

In love, light and joy

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

Well, Good Glory, Dear Ones!

Story of the Vicious Raven, the Mother Pigeon, and the Squab

What a saga just happened over here at the gas station! I went to get some coffee at the gas station. It is early morning here. And, being a person who used to raise baby pigeons as a child, I was very interested to see up in the sky, this great big, rogue raven chasing around a young pigeon … what you call a ‘squab’ … that had just learned to fly … in a circle, over the gas station.

I could see that the baby pigeon had some tail feathers missing, and was not strong enough. You know? And so, the raven was hot in pursuit. The baby pigeon landed just inside of where people fill up with gas … right by the gas station, in the shade; and the raven was circling around, outside.

And then I saw the mother pigeon, with the beautiful, slender neck and the slender body that the female pigeons have. She was sitting on top of the gas station roof, trying to figure out what to do … as was I … Because there was the young squab, who was dazed, and sort of wobbling, and sitting under the shade of the gas station canopy.

So I waited just a minute, and I stepped back. The mother pigeon came swooping down. And the baby pigeon went off towards the roof of this house over here … [points to the viewer’s left] … And, from afar, the rogue raven was sitting on a rooftop across the street, with its mouth open … panting for violence! It was totally scary. [laughs]

It had its eye on the situation! And the minute that the squab flew up, it came swooping down, from on top of the gas station, and caught the baby pigeon in mid-flight, about two feet above the top of the house that the squab was heading for.

So I went down to see what had happened … Although I could tell, when the mother pigeon veered off, that it was not going to be good news. There was the rogue, mean raven on top of the roof, with the slender body of the little baby pigeon underneath of it. I could see that the body of the little pigeon was lifeless, and so I started to walk away.

A young man walked by. Men are very good at noticing their surroundings, I have noticed: They catch things that women sometimes just do not catch. They have great peripheral vision; and they ‘scope’ the scene. They are really good at that.

I was not even looking up, at the scene on the roof, but he caught what had happened, and he understood. Under his breath, he said: Oh no! … Like that. So I went to comfort the man. (I could not do a thing for the pigeon.) So I said: Gosh, I am sorry about what happened just then. I hope you are all right. And he said Oh, yeah,he was ok … It was all alright.

So then I went up to retrieve my car, and to head off to Bible study. And so, from the parking lot of the gas station, I started down, and there was a young lady in her teens. She was standing, looking up at the roof of the house; she was on the wrong side to see the pigeon. She looked distressed too. So that was three of us: Three distressed people, one rogue raven, one baby pigeon, and a mom pigeon that was not very happy at the time.

I opened my window and I said to the young lady: Are you looking for the pigeon? She said, yes, she really wanted to find out where the baby pigeon was. So I parked, and we went up, and looked. And there was the body … oh, terrible story! … the body of the baby pigeon on the doorstep of the house … with no head!

So this raven only just wanted to conquer and kill this baby pigeon that was weaker, and could not fly as strongly. It did not really want anything; it just was in some kind of rage, you know? So I spent some time: We checked the baby pigeon. And she explained how it was all beat up, and she could see blood everywhere, and she was so upset, and so forth.

I tried to explain how, every spring, the ravens come and eat lots of little baby birds. And how this raven must have just gone over the edge, and just gone crazy about that kind of stuff. I found out that the young lady was an animal lover and rescuer. So we comforted each other, she and I. (We could not do anything for the baby pigeon.)

Thought Forms in the Cities of Earth Are Out of Balance, for Lack of the Presence of Nature Spirits to Transform Them

I have a little aside, that I could not tell her about, that I will explain to you as well as I can: Here in the city (in this case, Los Angeles), nature is out of balance. And the animals pick up the vibes of the thought forms of the people here.

In the country, things are more in balance. You have heard me talk before about the singing of the crystal sands in the desert … the feeling of New Creation and New Earth in the mountains.

There in the mountains, the higher lifeforms in the astral realm transform all the thoughts, and transform the thoughts of humans as well, when there are enough of them to do that. Here in the cities, they are outnumbered. There are not enough places for nature spirits to be. And so, the people are not in an environment where their thoughts can be purified as much as is done in the country. Not right now.

And in addition, the animals in the cities have a tendency to this kind of berserker behavior … The wild animals, and the house pets too. The house pets tend to get neurological conditions … nervous conditions … I know you have heard of that, in both cats and dogs.

So the thing we have to do, as people is: We have to find a way to make the cities such that the nature spirits wish to return. So that is what I am asking of each of you: That you recreate, in your mind, that beautiful vision of a place where you live, and where all is in harmony; all nature is in harmony … And where ravens … poor things! … do not pick up those horrible, Hollywood movie notions about massacre and killing for no reason, and all this … where ravens only kill because they are hungry, or because they need to feed their young.

And so we humans will be uplifted by this balance in the natural world as well. For sure.

A terrible story, but a good lesson, I feel.

I am wishing you all a blessed day … a day of harmony with all other people, and all other creatures of Earth, and with Earth herself.

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