Reminder: practice exercises, online courses (including using this blog as a course), and ethics

This is just a quick reminderr that I have some practice exercises posted at https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/2023/09/post-no-2572-practice-exercises.html, and links to online courses (including using this blog as a course) at https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/p/on-line-courses-on-this-blog.html. 

 

 

Also, don’t forget to do everything - including any psychic work - ethically. 

I discuss that at https://gnwmythrsglossary.blogspot.com/2023/05/ethics.html, but I would like to add/emphasise the following - the details of which are subject to the current laws of whatever jurisdiction you live/work in, so if you have any concerns, consult a suitably qualified/registered/experienced expert: 

• even if you do not charge people, you may be liable for the advice you give them. As an example, if you told someone to give their money to a shonky person, even if you did not charge them for telling them that, you may be liable (you SHOULD be, IMO); 

• legal protections go both ways, so you are likely also protected against attempts to blackmail or threaten you; 

• mind your Mӕgan. 

I consider many people who are not outright fraudsters get themselves into trouble because they are actually seeking emotional validation for their beliefs - especially if they wish to talk about or “demonstrate” proof (see Victor Zammit and  Dean I Radin's “The Conscious Universe: The Scientific Truth of Psychic Phenomena” [Harper One (2010), first pub. Harper Collins (2009), ISBN 978 0062029096, Amazon] on that topic before getting in to any debates/discourse). I suggest doing the emotional work to be able to move away from physical proof and live with spiritual values and ambiguity/uncertainty - you will be more effective for yourself and others, and less likely to damage the entire field that way.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).

Post No. 3,347 - We need a revolution - of the 1760-1775 US style (hearts and minds)

I just watched a YouTube video by US historian Tad Stoermer critiquing a new US historical TV series: 

“Ken Burns Spent a Year Selling the American Revolution, Then 12 Hours Ignoring It”   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gOtiLAKtRw   “... “What do We mean by the American Revolution?” Adams asked. “Do We mean the American War? The Revolution was effected before the War commenced. The Revolution was in the Minds and Hearts of the People.” ...”      

The video is an excellent 13m 50s of explanation and insight - well worth a look, and explains that the real revolution occurred in the hearts and minds of those in "the American colonies" over the period 1760-1775. 

And it got me thinking about the times and places this has happened elsewhere as well - such as   Australia’s “Sex Discrimination Act” which built on decades of work including women’s consciousness raising in the 1960s,   earlier movements to gain women the vote - which took centuries and still continues,   and the implementation of TGDNB protections in my home state in the year 2000 - which built on decades of prior work. 

And there are many other examples.  

And we could do with another revolution now, here in Australia.  

 

And that revolution needs to happen in the hearts and minds of people in Australia who feel they are comfortable because they are members of “the middle class”, “the majority”, or have social status. That revolution of hearts and minds needs to get them to understand that this does NOT make them safe - it makes them controllable through fear of being cast out for difference if they lose the suppression of their individuality that they probably don’t even realise they are doing. It makes them vulnerable to the sort of actions happening in the US in the worst case, but it also makes them vulnerable to the vagaries of social and authority perceptions, moods of the day, fads & fashions, and changes of personal opinion. 

It makes them part of all ongoing bigotry, but they probably don’t care about that. 

That false sense of security with the established order must change if we are to become a better society ...  

 

There are some major spiritual lessons here as well, but they would detract from my main point, so I'll defer them for now. 

 

PS - this is briefer than I had intended, but I am currently ill  

 

Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider: 

• there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”;  
• I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.
