Post No. 3,474 - Some (hopefully) interesting reading / viewing / listening - Saturday, 20th June, 2026

I recently found the following interesting and/or useful, and am posting them here in case anyone else does as well.  

 

• Firstly, a terrible tragedy which, IMO, shows the VITAL IMPORTANCE OF GETTING CONVENTIONAL PROFESSIONAL HELP (MENTAL HEALTH, IN THIS CASE) WHEN  NEEDED!!!   Better education on this may also be needed to counter misinformation:   “Woman says she ‘didn’t understand mental health’ before daughter experiencing acute psychosis killed another child”   https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/jun/17/woman-says-she-didnt-understand-mental-health-before-daughter-in-acute-psychosis-killed-another-child-ntwnfb    

  

• “When the Screen Holds Your Secret”   https://breakingthesilence001.substack.com/p/when-the-screen-holds-your-secret   “Reflections on Disclosure Day and what it stirred   ...   I’m still processing.”   This is easily the best comment about the movie I have yet come across      AND ALSO      “An A-Team for the Orbs. No One for the People”   https://mazetometanoia.substack.com/p/an-a-team-for-the-orbs-no-one-for   “Every UAP report begins as a frightened person describing what they saw. Avi Loeb’s new science council has no one trained to listen.”   This is excellent, and the points are vital.   In the human rights / advocacy field there is a saying: “nothing about us without us”, and I have often thought that needs to be used more widely. It would actually fit here, if the events are viewed properly - starting, as described by the article, with the person.   That is easier said than done. When I worked in engineering, eventually public consultations were introduced, but initially engineers thought - arrogantly - that they could do the consultations, but, in that era, engineers were taught procedures, rather than true critical thinking, and lacked basic emotional competence (two skills I would to see taught more widely, much better, and from much younger ages), and it took a few abject failures here (in the 1990s) before they got out of the way and let the true experts in.   The article mentions nurses. Here nurse training shifted to exclusively university-based a few years ago (possibly at the insistence of people like 1990s engineers?), and the human side of their training seems to me (based on my unfortunate experiences) to have been less effective, but the ability to use those skills has also been impaired by cost cutting (“efficiency“) measures. I hope that if the additional roles are implemented those who are making any decisions about resourcing have the integrity and competence to listen to and accept the recommendations of the human skills experts.      ALSO SEE      “This is How Disclosure Disappears”   https://asirpjournal.substack.com/p/this-is-how-disclosure-disappears   “A UAP Science Advisory Council assembled by blog post and revised under public scrutiny. The demands were for the files; the answer is a committee. The danger is substitution.   ...   Discovery Is Not Disclosure”      AND ALSO      “After Grusch's "Sentient Plasmoid" Remark, Scientists Explore an Unusual Possibility”   https://unknowncountry.com/headline-news/after-gruschs-sentient-plasmoid-remark-scientists-explore-an-unusual-possibility/   “After David Grusch suggested that some nonhuman intelligences may take the form of “sentient plasmoid life,” a pair of papers by Harvard astrophysicist Dr. Rudolph Schild examines whether organized plasma phenomena in Earth’s atmosphere could represent an unconventional form of life.”      AND ALSO      “The Real Disclosure Day: Scientists Revise the Rules for Announcing Extraterrestrial Intelligence”   https://unknowncountry.com/headline-news/the-real-disclosure-day-scientists-revise-the-rules-for-announcing-extraterrestrial-intelligence/   “New international protocols outline how evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence should be verified, announced, and managed—and reaffirm that no one should respond on behalf of humanity without global consultation.”   The last point, about global collaboration, is vital      BUT ALSO      While Whitley Strieber has done a massive amount of good for the experiencer and, more generally, the UFO/UAP/ET fields - including the bad experiences, every now and then he does something which makes me wary of him - such the praise at   https://substack.com/@whitleystrieber1/note/c-273311526   for the older form of the (religious [neochristian]) “Western mind”, which, as an Aboriginal woman whose people were subjected to genocide, a member of multiple minority groups subjected to the abuses of the patriarchy and capitalism and neoliberalism, and a human staring at the early devastation of the climate crisis, the so-called “Western mind”, a euphemism for “Western civilisation”, IMO, is not something to be taken as inherently or predominantly or uncritically “good” - it had its good points, but it also had slavery, colonialism, industrialisation, and the destruction of human, social, and environmental capital in Indigenous systems which created things like Yindyamarra, Yindyamarra Winhanganya, Dadirri, and Ngumbaadyil. 
  Finally, for the sake of clarity: my view is that the majority of extraterrestrials visiting this planet are part of the Gardeners of the Universe, who have the intention of serving Life (including the sort of activist intervention used by First Peoples here to turn this continent into a park for tens of thousands of years), and most western academics/investigators/experiencers struggle to comprehend that because they (1) lack the benefit of Eastern and/or Indigenous thinking, and (2) have been too warped by the patriarchy-capitalism-neoliberalism troika. When they get over an excessive focus on tech and physical evidence (some focus is necessary and good) and look at consciousness (including a whispered hint of personal/spiritual growth - of betterment as individual people) they often start to work more effectively with the complexities and nuances of the Gardeners of the Universe + nonBPM extraterrestrials + other BPM & nonBPM “NHIs” (i.e., non-human intelligences - which I point out includes a lot of sentient Earth-evolved life) and the multiple BPM & nonBPM interactions that can and DO occur between those groups and the various sub-groups of humans;   

• “Should we stop and stare?”   https://youtu.be/4jZZLAUHy7U   “We’re told to produce results, meet targets, hit deadlines and keep moving. We are taught that activity is a virtue and reflection is a waste of time.   I think that is one of the biggest mistakes modern society makes.   In this video, I use William Henry Davies’ famous poem Leisure to explore why creativity, imagination, innovation and good judgement all require something that our culture increasingly discourages: time to stop and think.”   

• “Why are we wasting so much human potential?”   https://youtu.be/ug5IXLLUh8o   “Every day, people with ability, creativity and ambition are prevented from becoming who they could be. Not because they lack talent, but because they lack opportunity.   For generations, poverty, discrimination and privilege have limited people’s chances in life. Many never receive the education they need. Many are forced into work that leaves no room for personal development. Many find their ambitions fading because society has decided that simply having a job is enough.   The result is a loss that we can never measure.   We cannot count the discoveries that were never made.   We cannot count the businesses that were never created.   We cannot count the works of art that were never produced.   And we cannot count the lives that might have been transformed if people had been given a fair chance.   This is not an argument for equality of outcome. People have different ambitions, talents and aspirations. The issue is whether everyone has the opportunity to realise their potential and become who they are capable of being.   Too often, the answer is no.   In this video, I explore how poverty, inequality, discrimination and privilege continue to waste human talent in Britain today, and why a politics of care would instead seek to nurture potential wherever it exists.   A society that wastes talent makes itself poorer.   The question is simple: how much talent are we wasting, and what could we achieve if everyone was given the chance to flourish?”   This applies elsewhere as well.   As Stephen Jay Gould said:   “I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”

• “DEI ... or a short cut? (1,082 words; 7 minutes)”   https://www.patreon.com/KayWhiteCoachingServices/posts/dei-or-short-cut-161253701   My work experience in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) began in the early 1990s, witnessing progress exemplified by better laws like the Australian Sex Discrimination Act. This legal advancement was paired with a change in societal perceptions, akin to the shift in attitudes toward drink driving. DEI has seen a sequence of improvements, moving, for example, from awareness of racism to anti-racism initiatives, and sexism issues have evolved from employment discrimination to addressing domestic violence. The prioritisation of issues in legislation is often influenced by activism and perceived urgency, which may not reflect the community's greatest needs. Additionally, social change faces resistance, prompting advocates and opponents to adapt their approaches continually, influencing the effectiveness of future DEI initiatives. One significant reason for resistance to change is discomfort with difference, which can have detrimental effects such as perpetuating harm to minority groups, obstructing objective consideration of issues, and hindering effective communication of valid points. While some aspects may lie outside the workplace DEI framework, effective progressive DEI enhances productivity, reduces staff wear and tear, improves retention, mitigates legal risks, and attracts talent. However, addressing individual discomfort with difference directly would violate personal integrity and is not feasible within workplace policies. Thus, discomfort with difference remains largely outside the purview of workplace DEI, despite the potential to alleviate some suffering if it were addressed.    

 

 

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.

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. 3,473 - Accessing power

I recently mentioned accessing power in my post on protecting oneself from nonBPM extraterrestrials, and I thought I would expand on that in its own, standalone post. 

Now, accessing power is a combination of factors which, in my opinion, can be usefully categorised into two groups: 

• the skill(s)/talent(s) involved in accessing the power (and there are skills required to BPM use that power, but I won't add that in to this post);  

and 

• external factors such as permission, door-keeping, etc - some of which is by one’s own Soul/Higher Self.  

 

Internal factors  

I’ll lump the first group of factors under the heading “internal factors”, with the required skill(s)/talent(s) being the first of these. 

 

Now, I’m not going to try to discuss the details of the skill(s)/talent(s), as that will vary for each type/sub-type/specific power concerned, but the amount and/or quality of those can be broadly conceived of: 

• so-called natural talent - much (not all) of which is due to study, practice, and development in previous lives; 

and 

• study, practice, and development in this life 

At some stage, whatever the skill or talent is, you have to try using it, and, having started, it is then up to you to further develop and refine it, which is up to effort (as exemplified by the proposition [based, I think, on the time spent by musicians in developing their craft] that 10,000 hours of effort are required [which also matches the five years minimum experience for acceptance in many professions) and use of the skills-talents of teaching and learning with adaptation to suit the individual person and the situation/circumstances. 

Again, I won’t try to go into the specific details: the point is, you MUST make a sustained, adapted on the basis of feedback/results effort - and don’t be jealous of those who seem to find it easier, as that possibly just means: 

(a) they did all this work in a previous life (or lives), 

and 

(b) you are putting the desired end result further away by not starting to try or by not making a genuine effort.  

 

Now, there are quite a few psychological matters which may influence this - including what I listed in (b), which may be due to abuse/trauma/harm inflicted on you by others that those who are finding it easier may not have experienced ... which means your apparently lesser accomplishments may well be the greater.  

This basically means that Know Thyself and personal growth is ALWAYS a key prerequisite to being able to access power - not only because of spiritual rules, but because many people sabotage themselves.  

This can also be complicated by: 

• the doubts of one’s other soul parts, which need to be resolved through inherent connections - ideally with the guidance of your Higher Self / Soul (experienced as one’s innermost, truest being, by the way - not a wise someone “out there”), which can be started using that resolution as an intention for sleep state work and then working through the issues as if they were yours, and not your soul part’s (or parallel’s, if you prefer that term) ... which may require professional counselling; 

• doubts and guilts that are experienced through humanity’s collective unconscious - which can be addressed as per the previous point. 

 

I should also note that you, in the form of your own Higher Self, may impose blocks or limits on what you can access. This may be to prevent you from harming yourself or others (think of preventing a very young child accessing a loaded weapon, for instance), but it may also be to force you - or those around you - to go through an experience for spiritual or psychic learning purposes. 

As an example of that, I found I had a minor attachment after a Wiccan lesson when I was learning that pathway. It wasn't particularly strong, but my usual techniques had no power, and I as aware that my BPM  Guides were, on behalf of my Higher Self, stopping me from doing that clearing so that I had to call on my teacher for help - which led to me learning a whole new way of working. 

You may also experience limits on what you can do as a result of past misdeeds by yourself - deliberate misuse or abuse of power, incompetent use of power causing harm, or refusing to use power when one could to the BPM benefit of others. In such cases, you may be refused access to power until you have proven that you can be trusted with power - which is not done by trying to wheedle or blackmail or bargain “the Universe” into giving behaving-like-an-immature-stereotype you power, but by accepting - even if the circumstances are not perfect - the smaller opportunities that come your way and working as genuinely, intelligently, and in as BPM a way as you can with them. 

(In preparing for such opportunities, it might be useful to consider what I posted here about preparing for a reading, and here about giving oneself a metaphorical kick up the backside.)  

There is one other spiritual aspect to power, a very important one, and that is: 

• letting go of that power when it is time.  

I have: 

• done so recently with ending my involvement in heavy psychic clearing for the planet (while knowing others were ready to step into my role); 

• in the early 2000s I relinquished a community activism role - partly out of exhaustion, and partly because it was time fr others to take that group in a different direction (which didn’t go as well initially, but in the long term has worked out brilliantly); and 

• in the 1980s I relinquished the opportunity to use some new learning (knowledge is usually also power) to become conscious of some more advanced sleep state work as it would have resulted in the work being done with my involvement limited to what I consciously knew, whereas as it was being done, my astral could access information physical consciousness me wasn’t allowed to, knowing the knowledge would be removed from my conscious levels (I’ll get to know about it after I pass) as my astral returned to my body. 

This aspect is one I am going to add to my thoughts on how politicians can restore trust from voters, but the peaceful transition of power after free and fair elections is one of the hallmarks of a functioning democracy - and that is best, in the long term, for everybody.  

(This is also brilliantly covered from a growth/passage of time perspective on the YouTube channel “Betwixt: The Story of You” series on “Archetypal Character Arcs: transformative Stories for the Modern World”.) 

 

There is another aspect to be mindful of here, and that is being human. 

There may well be times that you act out of love of and/or fear for those one loves ... if that does NOT involve taking away from others (red flag comments are along the lines of “I don’t care about others” or “I don’t care what it does to those others”), that could be a good thing - it is like the boost to what one is doing that occurs sometimes when one ask for one’s efforts to be as is for the Highest Spiritual Good (although that can, also, involve limiting your efforts). 

 

In fact asking for one’s efforts to be as is for the Highest Spiritual Good (which will involves BPM Guides getting involved as per the example above) is often a good, ethical step, and that leads me to the next set of influences beginning with ... 

 

 

External factors  

Be ethical. 

For more on that, see https://gnwmythrsglossary.blogspot.com/2023/05/ethics.html 

 

Others have responsibilities when it comes to ethics, and that may also lead to gatekeeping. 

In the spiritual world, those who have power and responsibility can't be wheedled or emotionally blackmailed (“manipulated”) or email campaigned into change. 

You are stuck with, and must deal with, their preconditions and requirements - and those are too varied for me to try to go into them in an overview article like this. 

You will need to consult with the experts in whatever area you seeking power in. 

(It might be possible to appeal against a block, but I haven’t heard of that being done - and, even if it is possible, I would think very carefully and cautiously about what could happen in the long term [e.g., creating the impression you are impatient or unethical ... possibly with some validity] before taking such an option.) 

 

 

Combinations  

I have been working on this post for quite a while, so all I will write here is:  

• Spiritual quests are a combination of both internal and external factors, to some extent 

 

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.
