Dear Ones,

This video is about an alternate history of the life of Christ, and diminution of the energy threads of persecution and vengeance, as part of New Life on New Earth. I feel this to be a way to mitigate the Curse of Crucifixion that is sometimes held against Christianity.

There is a Summary after the video …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

Dear Ones,

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

I heard another story about the life of Christ; a different kind of story. It must be a multitemporal story from another timeline. And it goes like this …

The notion that Christ died on the cross is actually apocryphal. It was born of the hopes of the people of his time, that He would fulfill the ancient prophecies in that regard. So …., I asked: What in fact happened? And this is what I heard; it is the most amazing story! It goes like this …

Christ was a married man; a happily married man. He had a beautiful, young daughter about 6 years of age. And He and his wife … when things became very difficult where He was … escaped by boat to the Italian shore; to the shores of Italy.

And there they lived a long and happy life. During that time, his wife bore him seven sons, in addition to the daughter that had been born. And they died, in a goodly length of time … at the right time … in a ripe, old age, having uplifted and taught many, many people, and inspired many people during their lifetime.

That is an interesting variant story of the life of Christ, is it not?

I cannot help but wonder, if many people thought that to be the life of Christ, how things might change in the Christian world. How, for instance, the notion that persecution always exists in the world, might be dampened and subdued.

And how the notion of retributory vengeance and persecution would also fade … fade from the fabric of our reality. Would that not be wonderful?

And then we could all go on … moving on, to New Life on New Earth … and with peace and harmony in our own Souls, and in the Souls of our neighbors. [smiles]

Even for those who believe as things are right now … who believe that Christ was crucified, and that it was necessary that He be so, in this dimension, it is possible to live that life, by concentrating on His earlier life and teachings, which are very uplifting and sustaining, are they not? And not dwelling, so much, on the pain and suffering of his final moments, but instead on the wonders of his life on Earth … the wonderful things that He did for humankind.

In love, light and joy

Stream Turtles and Samskaras . by Alice B. Clagett *

Filmed on 5 July 2013; published on 6 July 2013

Dear Ones,

A video on noticing, rather than acting on samskaras when they pop up from the subconscious mind into conscious awareness. There is an edited Summary after the video …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

Hello, Dear Ones.

Today I am over at the UCLA Botanical Gardens, and I’m looking at a little man-made stream here, with a lot of turtles in it. And I noticed, about the stream, first, the water’s pretty muddy. And then, these turtles are popping up into the Light, and sticking their noses out of the water. And then they just go on back under the water … they dive back down again. And you can’t see them very well if they do that.

And it reminded me of my subconscious thoughts … my ‘samskaras’, as they call them. in the “Aphorisms of Patanjali” …

… that just pop right out … right out of my mind, sort of like the turtles in the stream … or popcorn. And sometimes they pop up so strongly that I act on them … and sometimes with very unfortunate consequences.

And then, without my even knowing why, they just sort of disappear back down into the turgid waters of my heart … [laughs, as two turtles sink down into the water] … very obligingly, in this case.

So I had a thought about that. I noticed I have two tendencies, when these thoughts come up ,,,

  • One is to shove them back down into the water … and make them angry, and hungry.
  • And the other thought is: To say that they’re somebody else’s turtle; not mine; to disown them.

So just now, when I was walking, I was thinking:  Maybe if I just make friends with them … notice them … this muddy water in my heart will eventually clear up, and become more like a pure mountain stream. That’s what I was thinking about the turtles.

Hope you all have a wonderful day.

In love, light and joy
