CLOSING THE OPENING TO THE ASTRAL: CLOSING THE OPENING TO THE ASTRAL is the card for today
The astral is an opening to other planes through which the demonic and at times the malevolent ET's come from.
From our indulgences both physical and emotional, through attack and self attack tears and rents are made in our aura and this dark element representing the ancient ego that turned away from the light comes through us to attack us and others.
Today let us invite in our Friends in High Places and other spiritual help to free us of this influence and plaster our auras with luminous Love.

(Sentence #1 and Sentence #2 re-written by Corboy for clarity)
"The astral is an opening to other planes.
"Malevolent and demonic ETs emerge
from the astral.."
"Tears and rents are made in our auras from our indulgences, both physical and emotional. The ETs come through these entry points to attack us - and attack others.'
Spezzano's brief message contains many grammatical oddities.
A grammatical lapses, sparingly used, can give a lively effect.
Too many such lapses leads to confusion. A teacher is supposed to
bring clarity, not confusion -- especially if our soul's salvation
is at stake.

CLOSING THE OPENING TO THE ASTRAL: CLOSING THE OPENING TO THE ASTRAL is the card for today
The astral is an opening to other planes through which the demonic and at times the malevolent ET's come from.
Corboy: this sentence combines definition and causal description. This is a complex reading task.
The proposition "from" is at the end of this sentence.
Propositions orient us to time and place. So it is unclear whether the ETs emerge from "the astral" or from "the other planes".
Instead, we can re-write it this way:
"The astral is an opening to other planes.
"Malevolent and demonic ETs emerge
from the astral.."
or
"Malevolent and demonic ETs emerge
from the planes.."
"
From our indulgences both physical and emotional, through attack and self attack tears and rents are made in our aura and this dark element representing the ancient ego that turned away from the light comes through us to attack us and others.
Corboy: This is a single sentence - a complicated sentence.
The first sentence ends with the proposition 'from' and this second sentence begins with the same proposition 'from'.
When a sentence ends with a period, this signals a pause.
When one paragraph ends and a new paragraph begins, this signals the conclusion of one theme and the beginning of a new theme.
The reader expects a pause, followed by a new theme.
But this use of
"from". to end Sentence #1 and to begin Sentence #2 whisks the reader's attention rapidly from one sentence to the next, right when the reader
expects to pause. This is confusing.
This technique -repetition of "from" "From" - is effective only if the writer strives for the utmost clarity and takes care to give precise definitions.
We finish sentence #1 with our attention on the "demonic and malevolent" ETs. .
That double "from. From" whisks our attention right into Sentence #2. Sentence #2 moves our attention rapidly -- but not to further description of the ETs. Instead, the first part of Sentence #2 lands us in a description of the
entry points in our auras - and the cause of those entry points. "Attack and self attack".
Spezzano writes in a confusing manner.
"Attack and self attack'? -
Are we attacking ourselves? I
s some part of ourselves attacking some other aspect of ourselves?
Are we being attacked from within or from without?
"Today let us invite in our Friends in High Places and other spiritual help to free us of this influence and plaster our auras with luminous Love.
"This dark element representing our ancient ego"
"Element" is a noun and refers to something especially abstract. Nouns refer to people, places and things.
"Representing" is a verb - verbs refer to actions.
An abstraction is attacking us. Huh?
Something attacks us.
"Comes through us to attack us"???
I am re-writing this sentence for clarity.
"Tears and rents are made in our auras from our indulgences, both physical and emotional. The ETs come through these entry points to attack us - and attack others.'
