Post No. 1,026 – For Sunday evening’s meditation-clearing


Apologies: other life demands have made this a slightly cut down post this week.
Information and Summary/Analysis:
Note: I am NOT a journalist, and make NO claims to objectivity or freedom from bias:   the purpose of posting these news links is not only to inform:   it is also to stimulate a connection to nonBPM units that need to be cleared and BPM units that need to be strengthened, so that you can do the clearing / strengthening that is required.   That only works if you don’t let yourself be overwhelmed by this, so take it in small chunks if you need to, but remember to actively clear and heal! … including yourself. Also, the energies we use and manifest in our daily lives contribute to the larger soup of energies that influence world events, so address those as well. The reminders / explanations about Sunday’s meditation-clearing are here;   see also here,   here,   here,   (here and also here and here are interesting),   here, here,   here,   and   this post reminds us to be patient and persistent, like a “speeding oak”. Finally, there are some notes at the end of this post about other options for those who do not like this way of working.
The themes that come to mind for my work this week, after I review all this news, are:
(a)   based on my interpretation of information here and here with Saturn in Sagittarius contributing to finding an authentic balance (until 20th December, 2017), Uranus in Aries contributing to fresh and possibly radical starts (until some date in the Year 2018), and Pluto in Capricorn contributing to a transformation of power and business (and careers) (until some date in the Year 2024), conditions are ripe for a change for the better in world politics;
(b)   there is an enormous need to clear nonBPM energy – the thought forms, unattached energy and scars of the collective unconscious created by millennia of violence, including spirit rescue, and healing the warped views, seemingly “inherent” biases, and other damage created. Also, remember that:
        1. the counter to fear is
genuine  EQ and clear thinking, expressed through calm, de-escalating speech,
        2. where problems exist, advocating for
BPM responses, and being as BPM as one can be, are constructive solutions,
        3. peace is powerful, but it is a process requiring patient, persistent and nuanced nurturing, and a blend of conventional spiritual work,
clearing nonBPM units, and physical world activism;
(c)   viewing the overall emotional state of the world from an elemental point of view, this week we need:
        emotionally (astrally), the personal security of more
BPM Earth;
        mentally, the discipline and intellectual rigour of more
BPM Æther;
        spiritually, the compassion and understanding of more
BPM Water;
(d)   for this week’s work I will continue using Wolfsangle:
(e)   dealing with the 45th US President, for whom I use the alias Voldemort, requires:
        1. eroding
(i.e., slow, patient and persistent clearing of the little bits one can SAFELY cope with – remember, you are but one of many) the nonBPM influences feeding his arrogance and mind-set, and strengthening Voldemort’s BPM Guides and giving them whatever BPM help they need to present a BPM alternative – for which my “changing the personality of oppressors” post is useful – with a view to promoting what would seem to be a change of heart,
        2. lifting the nonBPM influences from the shoulders of Voldemort’s marginal supporters, allowing them to “come to their senses”,
which may result in them feeling bewilderment/shame, and simultaneously strengthening the BPM influences around them (e.g., their BPM Guides) to counter them backsliding,
        3. to address the others, physical world activism
(especially education) is required. As well as doing what one can there, help those who are doing this work (e.g., sending them “positive vibes”) and look for nonBPM blockages that can be cleared (e.g., setting up a BPM vortex above meetings to draw away external nonBPM influences/energies/
units, so that the audience can listen as they are, without any obsession/possession);
(f)   the major events this week are:   the sacking of the USA’s FBI’s Director;   continuing small signs of hope in Syria;   small matters which may eventually give support to the existence of the non-physical;   ongoing governance problems – some at the level of crisis (e.g., Somalia);   the rejection of extremism in France;   conflict continues to extend into the cyber world;   there have been some instances of justice on human rights;
(g)   the quest for power at any price continues to plague the world, as does the ignored plague of socialisation (particularly around gender);
(h)   the lack of ethics in business is too widespread – along with the false presumption that the world exist to serve business, rather than the other way round;
(i)   the simple-mindedness of authoritarian exercise of power (which possesses some government and too many government, semi-government and non-government organisations) continues to be too widespread, and inadequately unchallenged;
I also take this opportunity to emphasise that it is absolutely VITAL that this psychic / metaphysical / spiritual work be performed non-violently and as is for the Highest Spiritual Good – which is part of being BPM – on all levels and in all ways. Always remember (see here): Do you fight to change things, or to punish? See also here, here, here, here, here, and my comments about “authentic presence” in this post.
News and other matters from this past week follows:
   news items are presented in the following sections (there is overlap, and items may appear more than once):
    - Permanent and Thematically Arranged News,
    - Location Based News,
    - From a Range of Other Sites;
   opportunities/good news are shown in green;
   comments are shown in purple; and
   WARNING: some of these links may contain triggers around issues such as violence, sexual assault, discrimination, etc.
Permanent and Thematically Arranged News:
  • Permanent issue: may all actual and potential BPM [1] Leaders be kept BPM safe, including keeping them undetectable to the nonBPM and keeping all their Significant Others inviolable against being used for indirect  psychic attack, and may they have all the BPM opportunities and assistance (so-called “good luck”) for them to be BPM effective at influencing the world’s direction, development and unfoldment, all as is for the Highest Spiritual Good;
  • Permanent issue: may all humans recognise, irrespective of the appearance of difference, the essential shared humanness of other people, the inherent resilience, the dynamic power, the strength of BPM collaboration, and the opportunities of having a diverse, inclusive and welcoming population, and may all people choose fairness, when such decisions are before them;
  • Permanent issue: may all humans choose to live modestly – to forgo outdoing others, or trying to have more than they need - for the sake of an easier, more manageable life, if they cannot do it for the sake of the planet;
  • Matters warranting particular attention:
       I shouldn’t be surprised, but someone had to have a go, and wrote a reasonable, if generic, article on “How to Make the World a Better Place” on WikiHow;   the politics of love;   the Christian head of the neochristian Catholic Church has said that the word “mother” should not be used to describe a bomb;   “There is growing evidence faecal transplants could be causing some patients to take on the physical and mental traits of their donors, including body shape and even symptoms of depression, an expert in infectious diseases says” – I’ve come across this notion elsewhere, with regard to organ donation, but don’t have time to track down that link;   the psychological importance of having idle time (I’ve come across a few posts on this theme this week);   in a stunning move, the 45th US President has sacked the Director of the FBI – allegedly for the sake of public confidence, and Trump has followed this up with threats against the former Director (is this where the impeachment process starts?);
  • With regard to democracy (which requires  protection of minorities and the vulnerable – and remember Gandhi’s question about whether one is fighting to change things, or to punish, and the list of 198 methods of nonviolent action), freedom and governance (e.g., here, here, here and here, and see also here):
    Note: I have a section specifically for the 45th US President below
       -   analyses this week include:   the ongoing problems in Somalia - with violence being at the top of the list to solve;   this year’s Fragile States Index has been released;
       -   of concern this week:   in a stunning move, the 45th US President has sacked the Director of the FBI – allegedly for the sake of public confidence, and Trump has followed this up with threats against the former Director;   the application by Hong Kong's biggest annual pro-democracy march has been rejected;
       -   in the grey area or neutral this week:  
       -   good news this week includes:   after a warning to French media not to publish the alleged hacked emails, France, the home of liberté, égalité et fraternité, has held true by electing Macron, rather than the right wing extremist Le Pen;
       -   and in my home nation this week:   "the Australian Federal Police has decided not to investigate [the] Human Services Minister … over the controversial disclosure of a welfare recipient's personal information to a journalist";   "Politicians' [dependent] children [will be] downgraded from business class to economy to avoid 'indulgence'";   I was initially concerned at proposals to test welfare recipients for drugs, until I heard an interview with the respective Minister, in which he clarified that it would only relate to people who have said they are having problems with drugs. However, other matters continue to concern me .. ;
       -   this week’s atrocity alert at R2P lists the “Democratic” Republic of Congo and the Central African Republic;
  • With regard to the 45th US President (who I consider seriously dangerous, and NOT at all a buffoon) this week:
    I deliberately avoid using the 45th US President’s name for valid psychic reasons: however, to both simplify my typing and remind people that he is dangerous, I will use “Voldemort” – in this section, at least - as an alias.

       -   in a stunning move, Voldemort has sacked the Director of the FBI – allegedly for the sake of public confidence, but there are disturbing suggestions it may be related to investigations between the Trump campaign team and Russia, and Trump has followed this up with threats against the former Director;
       -   a current media controversy has been well summed up by a tweet: "It's really rich that the people who are calling Colbert a homophobe are the Trump voters who are actively working against gay rights";
       -   a Republican Senator says he has further questions about Voldemort's business dealings in relation to Russia (while there are valid questions to be answered, and it is surprising that this is being done by a Republican, how genuine is this?);   in a blow to Voldemort, “General Electric … has praised Mexico as a big part of its future and said the company is "very supportive" of the North American Free Trade Agreement … that [Voldemort] has threatened to ditch”;   “China's dealmakers edged out their US counterparts in their first round of trade talks”;   the USA has warned China … that North Korea's attendance at a weekend summit on China's new Silk Road could affect the participation of other countries, casting a shadow over what is Beijing's biggest diplomatic event of 2017”;
       -   claims that the 45th US President will “express support for Palestinian “self-determination” during a Middle East trip this month … suggesting [he] is open to a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict despite not having publicly embraced the idea so far”;
  • With regard to violent extremism (VE) (aka, terrorism - e.g., Da’esh) (ALL people advocating hate or discrimination in response to violent extremism are actively doing the work of violent extremists. This will be countered, in part, by the sort of approach advocated by “Cure Violence”, and, in part, by addressing real and perceived disempowerment and acknowledging the variety in what provides genuine, BPM fulfilment as a counter to fanaticism as a source of meaning. I am deliberately avoiding the use of specific names of violent extremist groups as much as possible to reduce the publicity they get – I’m not a primary news source, and thus consider I can do so):
       -   violent extremist attacks/acts have occurred this week in Chad, Thailand (a classic small bomb to attract people before a bigger bomb), Pakistan, and, according to this Wikipedia page, there have been10 attacks in Iraq and 1 attack in Syria (out of a total of 32);   violent extremist threats are or may be developing in Nigeria;   and actions (Note: there are many others that don’t reach the media I read) have occurred this week against violent extremists in Afghanistan, Chad;   violent extremists in Nigeria have traded scores of kidnapped schoolgirls for a few of their members who had been jailed – which, although possibly a sign of being weakened, does not mean they are not still dangerous;   German authorities have arrested a soldier who was trying to set up refugees for a planned assassination, and all army barracks have been searched for Nazi material;
       -   the UN will lead the way on bans on electronic items in planes, after the ad hoc stumbles by the USA and UK, and the USA and the European Union (EU) will also discuss this;   the children of violent extremist from my nation will be kept under scrutiny if they return (are there grounds, under child care legislation, to de-radicalise them [if they are under the age of majority?);   the wife of a recruiter for a violent extremist has been charged for refusing to stand in court;   the USA will boost its cyber security;
  • With regard to human (and other) rights and discrimination:
       -   on homophobia/transphobia this week (noting that trans kids are the same as cis kids of the trans kids’ true gender) :   a law in a US state (by yet another homophobic governor) about words having their so-called 'natural meaning' appears to be aimed at the LGBT community;   a current media controversy has been well summed up by a tweet: "It's really rich that the people who are calling Colbert a homophobe are the Trump voters who are actively working against gay rights";   “A man who smashed a lemon meringue pie into the face of Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce … during a business forum in Perth says he is” (in my words) a homophobic bigot - and he will be charged;   more rampant, violent homophobia in Indonesia;
       -   on racism this week:   Australia's opposition party has shot itself in the foot on racism, by creating an ad which borrows from the “we play both types of music, country and western” to have an ad showing “both types of people, anglo- and saxon” (which may not be correct, but the ad creates that perception);   Australian Aboriginal people who were near British nuclear tests in the 1950s and 1960s will finally receive improved health care;   “Michigan police officer Cleon Brown is suing his chief and the city after a chain of events that began when he took a genetic test through Ancestry.com in December and was surprised to learn he could trace 18 percent of his DNA to regions in Africa”;
       -   on sexism this week (keeping in mind the overblown influence given to testosterone):   an imam who attempted to justify hitting women has been dumped from his position;   women in Sri Lanka have been taking on roles that are stereotypically male, thereby helping the recovery;   a warning to never assume consent;   controversy over an Australian state politician’s – backward, but understandable - support for physical castration for male sex offenders (what is he going to do about female sex offenders);   a Swiss court has upheld a sentence for a “stealthing” crime;   further to the Equal Playing Field initiative, next month 37 women from 20 countries will climb to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the highest altitude soccer match ever played, and to raise awareness of the inequality in women's sports right across the globe;   India's Supreme Court is hearing a clutch of petitions challenging the controversial practice of instant divorce in Islam;
       -   on other forms of human (and other) rights this week:   the body of one of “the Disappeared” from the Troubles in Northern Ireland, who was murdered by a splinter violent extremist group, had been found (in France);   abuse of cleaning workers;   "The consumer watchdog has chalked up a win against three e-cigarettes companies, with a court finding they misled customers about toxins in their products";   “The lawyer for the family of a student who died after falling down stairs during a fraternity initiation has called the group's actions "grotesque" ” (18 people have been charged);   the way child protection records are created is being changed to take out personal biases;   complaints to the Telecommunications Ombudsperson are up;   another abuse of a person in an aged care home;   an asylum seeker has been sentenced to life imprisonment by a court in Austria after being found guilty of killing 20 unarmed or wounded soldiers following a battle in Syria;
       other human rights problems have also occurred in China, the UAE;
  • With regard to crime, judicial matters and policing:
       a crime prevention strategy in my home state based on sport;   an irresponsible dog owner faces thousands of dollars in fines after his dog went on a rampage (irresponsible [often better described as incompetent] dog owners can be seen in dog off-lead areas everywhere);   victims of crime in my home state will get more support;   Australia’s Federal Police will be expanded –whether this is good or not depends on their levels of bigotry, as well as their training and resources;   the problem of image-based abuse, which has harmed one in five Australians;   another anti-piracy court case in underway (and, as someone with a vested interest in one day getting royalties from writing, I hope it succeeds);   a predictable response to the Bourke St murders in my home state, some of which I agree with, others I am less convinced of;   praise – which I endorse - for New Zealand sacking two public figures who used drugs;   controversy over an Australian state politician’s – backward, but understandable - support for physical castration for male sex offenders (what is he going to do about female sex offenders – one of whom is apparently the worst young offender in my home state);   a Swiss court has upheld a sentence for a “stealthing” crime;   in a stunning move, the 45th US President has sacked the Director of the FBI – allegedly for the sake of public confidence, but there are disturbing suggestions it may be related to investigations between the Trump campaign team and Russia;   police in my home state will get increased powers in relation to convicted sex offenders (sounds good, but the potential devil is always in the detail – and human rights must be protected, to ensure they cannot be abuse against other people);   quite justified fury after US radio station tells its listeners how to hide child pornography;   the detention of teenagers at Victoria's maximum security adult prison has been ruled unlawful again by the Supreme Court, forcing the State Government to find another place to house the juvenile detainees, who had destroyed the youth facility they were in;
  • With regard to press aka the media, and freedom of expression (keeping in mind that claims of presenting “both sides” of a debate can be WRONG if the other side is RUBBISH –as is the case on LGBTIQ issues: having an “equal say”, or a “right to respond” MUST be assessed in the context of what is happening overall in society – NOT solely in one limited incident):
       a review of the history of one company seeking to buy part of a major Australian media company – which is a warning about how investors can operate;
  • With regard to overcrowding and “modern” lifestyle issues (is YOUR smart phone free of conflict  minerals, environmental harm and child labour? IT manufacturers are making some effort in on those. Do you suffer from FOMO or addiction? Is your social media making you miserable or envious? Are you being duped by modern mantras? Are you “failing” at being well? Does your AI use ethics? Does your corporation misuse mindfulness as a distraction from working conditions? Are you afflicted by management  fads? Do you understand embedded emissions? Do you want a bigger, flashier home/car than people had 50 years ago – which means you are actively abusing the environment and society’s cohesion and contributing to the problem of financialisation?):
       -   on climate change and other environmental matters this week:   China will defend the Paris climate agreement;   India is embracing solar power – and thee are interesting developments from biomimicry;   “the Australian Government is being urged to check wooden furniture imported from Vietnam, after the discovery of a massive illegal logging operation”;   a cattle station is taking radical measures to restore the bush – to the displeasure of its neighbours;   The lack of a carbon price is paralysing investment in Australia's energy sector and putting domestic power bills on track to surge by up to 40 per cent, experts have warned”;   Australians are sceptical about the Commonwealth G0vernments actions on the environment, and want company tax used to boost that;   a call for a reduction in the extent of printing for delivery of Australia's Commonwealth budget;   a review of what is happening to bees ten years after the colony collapse problem started (I like the native bee hive idea: sadly, we’re outside the zone that can done in – and, as a diabetic, I can’t have sugar any more :( );   an experimental food producer is turning “ugly food”, which supermarkets have problems selling, into powdered product;   concern over possible fossil fuel companies’ influence on UN climate change talks;   an article on using solar and wind (and, ultimately, other renewable?) forms of energy to generate hydrogen – which partially may get over the problem of the cost of exporting energy from areas with high generating potential to where it is needed, particularly with the proposal to ship the hydrogen as more compact (and less flammable) ammonia;   the world has more forests than we knew;   surprisingly, a lack of dust is increasing air pollution in China by 13%;
       -   on technology and science matters this week:   do not glibly assume that e-books have replaced printed books (which I need to forward to a few friends, as I brandish my newly purchased hard copy Melway :) );   the fight against the stupidity of always being connected for work continues;   "Doctors are warning about the risks of relying on smartphone mindfulness apps [which offer "quick fixes"] ... for your mental health";   a major world-wide cyber attack – which used a stolen NSA tool - has put medical treatment at risk, and will kill people (keep your PCs up to date with patches, people!);
       -   on economic and financial matters this week:   hundreds of dairy factory workers who will lose their jobs after a milk company - currently being investigated by the ACCC - decided to close factories because it couldn't get enough milk, have asked for government help;   Barcelona is cracking down on short term (tourist) rentals;   taxi drivers are in financial trouble because of Uber (I don't like or use Uber, but I've have a lot of awful experiences with taxis - and have had to go pick up people who have been abandoned by taxis, so the taxi industry has a big part to play in this disaster - and it is a disaster, as the costs of getting a taxi "plate" have been excessive for a long time);
       -   on other matters in the category this week:   the most surprising thing, to me, about this article arguing that the world outside Japan is doing “mindfulness” wrong is not the key premise (I’ve posted links about that before, and found the technique as used by shrinks here useless), nor the concept of talking to oneself about doing things (which I’ve done for much of my life, without having a fancy label for it), but that somewhere, somehow, some people associate it with a forced meditation posture … ;   mental; health problems from bad jobs, insecurity and other unpleasant aspects of modern life is reducing the amount of sex people are having;   France has banned extremely thin models;   addressing sleep problems first can help address depression; 
  • With regard to education:
       a free range kids project has been developed based on teaching them how to use real tools (up to a point, I agree with this, but safety standards should not be lower than they are for adults, and some of the photos showed dangerous grips etc);
  • With regard to natural and other catastrophes:
       Yemen is facing a cholera outbreak;   floods in Montreal.
Location based News:
  • With regard to the conflict in Afghanistan (noting that Afghanistan was once a peaceful and modern society, even allowing women in miniskirts, before the Russian invasion – see here):
       after gains by violent extremists, the USA is considering sending more troops to Afghanistan;
  • With regard to Africa, the Africa Center for Strategic Studies (and other sources) has:
       -   the ongoing problems in Somalia - with violence being at the top of the list to solve;
       -   an Ebola outbreak has been declared in the “Democratic” Republic of Congo;
  • With regard to China (may her growing middle class bring a love of peace and freedom), East and South East Asia and the Pacific (noting the risks of atrocities in North Korea and Burma):
       -   China will defend the Paris climate agreement;   a lawyer arrested in China was tortured for over a month;   surprisingly, a lack of dust is increasing air pollution in China by 13%;   “China's dealmakers edged out their US counterparts in their first round of trade talks”;   the USA has warned China … that North Korea's attendance at a weekend summit on China's new Silk Road could affect the participation of other countries, casting a shadow over what is Beijing's biggest diplomatic event of 2017”;
       -   the application by Hong Kong's biggest annual pro-democracy march has been rejected;
       -   North Korea (DPRK) has arrested another US citizen;  Germany will tighten economic sanctions against North Korea over its nuclear program in line with a UN resolution and subsequent EU regulations;
       -   South Korea has moved away from conservatism towards liberalism, which may help with tensions with North Korea – and may be due to the “Trump effect”;
       -   despite prosecutors seeking otherwise, the minority Christian governor of Jakarta has been sentenced to two years in prison for blaspheming the Koran, after a trial that undermined the country's reputation – see also here;
       -      more rampant, violent homophobia in Indonesia;
  • With regard to the conflict in Iraq (noting that Iraq was once a peaceful and prosperous society, before the UK / USA / CIA backed revolution – see here, and that it needs an emphasis on a secular society and citizenship – but also here, although based in Syria and here):
       -  the vital need to keep helping Iraq after Mosul is liberated;
       -   and the Iraq Body Count project reports 182 civilians violently killed in the last week;
  • With regard to South and Central America:
       -   more violence and deaths in Venezuela, where the economic crisis has increased infant mortality by 30% and malaria by 75%;   indigenous people are fleeing Venezuela;   as someone who knows the health risks involved because this is part of my job, the proposal of protestors in Venezuela to use human faeces against police is utterly unacceptable. Equally unacceptable is the use of pepper spray against protesting grandparents - and their punching of police. The whole situation illustrates the need to adopt the “Cure Violence” methodology;
       -   a Nicaraguan “pastor: has been jailed for burning woman to death in a so-called 'exorcism';
       -   Brazil has said that the Zika emergency has ended;
       -   Mexico’s military supports getting out of the so-called “war on drugs” and leaving the matter to police;
  • With regard to South Asia (aka the Indian sub-continent), The Hindu and other sources have:
       -   India is embracing solar power – and thee are interesting developments from biomimicry;   a Muslim cow protector in India, one of several;   India's Supreme Court is hearing a clutch of petitions challenging the controversial practice of instant divorce in Islam;
       -   human-elephant conflicts in Sri Lanka;
  • With regard to the conflict in Syria, where Assad’s regime has, in my opinion, lost all claims to legitimacy, and it is time to consider partition (see here, here, here and here):
       the US will arm Kurds in Syria who are fighting violent extremists – much to Turkey’s displeasure;   a local organisation has organised a form of “Olympics” for children in Aleppo;   encouraging but preliminary reports that fighting in Syria is easing as the “de-escalation” zones take effect;   rebels have liberated a Syrian town and a nearby dam that is at risk of failure;   the USA has told Russia to rein in Assad;   an asylum seeker has been sentenced to life imprisonment by a court in Austria after being found guilty of killing 20 unarmed or wounded soldiers following a battle in Syria;
  • With regard to Turkey:
       the US will arm Kurds in Syria who are fighting violent extremists – much to Turkey’s displeasure;
  • With regard to West Asia (aka “the Middle East”) and North Africa, the Middle East Eye and other sources have:
       -   Israel has – as expected - rejected Hamas’ recent proposals;
       -   Iran has warned Saudi Arabia it is ready to fight after Saudi “battle” comments (stop trying to urinate higher up the wall!!!);
       -   royals in the United Arab Emirates have been accused of abusing servants (which seems to be a problem endemic to the region .. );
  • With regard to the conflict in Yemen (unlike Iraq, I cannot find a source of regular information on casualties in Yemen, but the hardship and deaths from food, water and medical shortages that concerns me just as much – if not more, and I don’t know if such sites would report that; it is also important to remember that there are multiple sides in this dispute – and opponents to the government are not necessarily Houthi or violent extremist):
       Yemen is facing a cholera outbreak.
From a Range of Other Sites:
  • following up a comment made in the TV series Grimm, some people have a 4th set of cones in their eyes … ;
  • interesting comments about anger and Emotional Intelligence;
  • 10% of Hannover – 50,000 people – were evacuated while 5 bombs were defused;
  • health benefits have, after decades, been extended to former servicemen and women, and indigenous people, who were exposed to radiation by the British nuclear tests in Australia;
  • penguins in the Falklands have been nesting on minefields, as they are too light to set off the mines;
  • about 5,000 to 7,000 graves have been found at the first asylum in one US state (and, no doubt, each of those was a terrible human tragedy – and many probably exacerbated by social prejudice and the limited medical competence of that era);
  • the story of a group Uzbeks and other soldiers from Central Asia who were killed by Nazis in the Netherlands during World War part 2;
  • an Australian who was detained by United States immigration officials for overstaying his visa by less than two hours after Canada delayed allowing him entry over fears he would not be able to return to the USA has been released from detention, more than a week after being taken into custody. For an explanation that makes sense (and a warning on misconceptions about visas), see here;
  • this story, about people turning to complementary and alternative cancer remedies, shows that doctors are STILL being idiots who forget that they are dealing with a human being, not a set of symptoms;
  • “German schools can now play the Bee Gees hit Stayin' Alive without charge to help children learn emergency heart massage”.
General Comments/Information
(Dear Reader, please remember, I expect you to think when reading this blog, and I reserve the right to occasionally sneak in something to test that)
Many others are very capably doing this type of work – for instance, the Lucis Trust's Triangles network (which has been running for many decades),   the Correllian Tradition's 'Spiritual War for Peace' (see also here, here, and here), the Hope, Peace, Love and Prosperity Spell (also from the Correllian Tradition, in around 2007 or 2008),   the Healing Minute started by the late, great Harry Edwards (running for decades);   the “Network of Light”  meditations;   and   also see here and here – even commercial organisations (for instance, see here), online groups (e.g. here and here – which I do not know the quality of) and even an app.    Thus, if you don't like what I am suggesting here, but want to be of service, there are many other opportunities for you – including secular opportunities: e.g., see here, here and here.   Again, activism in the physical world is also required - see here, here and here, here, and, of course, here.
(Please note that I now specifically have a role for (absent) healers on Saturdays, as explained in the Psychic Weather Report posts. Anyone who wishes to be protector has a role every day :). At all times, on all levels and in ways, BOTH must ALWAYS be BPM in the way they perform such roles.)
If I am ever late getting my Psychic Weather Report up any week, there is a default plan.
I apologise for publishing these posts twice, but Blogger keeps changing my formatting.
