Post No. 3,397 - Trees with little energy

I recently was told about a park with tall (for a city suburb) trees that was within walking distance. 

Today I went there, and wound up feeling sorry for the thin ribbon of trees bounded by houses on one side and a sports field on the other. The energy was flat - maybe because of all the heatwaves we've had, but I suspect mainly because the trees are isolated - cut off from other natural areas, without contact with open water, surrounded by urbanised (stressed, disconnected) humans existing in accordance with the dictates of capitalism. 

When I want some nature, I think I'll mostly continue going to the trees around the wetland, but when I have some excess energy to send, I'll go to the new place. 

And I want to see what it is like in other seasons - it may recover with water and coolness. 

 

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. 3,396 - Meditation is not exercising the astral

As I did my gentle, walking-based, evening exercises, a series of thoughts came to me: 

Firstly, just as the physical body needs to be nurtured and cared for (food, water, exercise, protection, etc), so too do our nonphysical bodies; 

Secondly, what our nonphysical bodies need is different (obviously!) to what our physical body needs; 

Thirdly, what out nonphysical bodies need differs for each of those; 

Fourthly, meditation, as predominantly used in the west, is a healing/restoration/rejuvenation/emergency first aid technique ... and elsewhere, can be both that and a way to learn/access knowledge/other states of consciousness/being; 

Fifthly, whatever nurtures “our heart” (capacity to care and be compassionate) nurtures our astral; 

Sixthly, whatever nurtures of joy of learning nurtures our mental body; and 

Seventh, whatever nurtures “our soul” nurtures our higher bodies. 

I also use colour visualisation exercises to exercise and feed my nonphysical bodies. Music, nature, and good companionship are valid ways to do that ... but meditation is more a tool to enable other things or to heal our existence in the physical world ... (or am I being too harsh and restrictive? What do YOU think, Dear Reader?)

Post No. 3,395 - Some interesting reading / viewing

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

 

• “Solitude is NOT Loneliness (Stop Confusing Them)”   https://youtu.be/B5nd99OLB8A    

• “5 Ways to IMPROVE Mental Health in 2026 ✨ (neurodivergent edition)”   https://youtu.be/9eYd8Zz1t5k   I use some of these actions    

• “In Conversation with Jeroen De Witt”   https://youtu.be/GSI2af6YSBo   At about 3:55: “I find that the people I’ve worked with now for ever since the 90s, but even more recently with this channel over the last over two years now, is that none of them would ever go back and not have this happen in their life because at this point, all these years later, 30, 40 years later, they feel that it’s really enhanced who they are and made them more aware of everything around them and the universe. They feel they a lot of them have become healers. Uh and it’s become a very spiritual type of thing”   The comment about two types of humans is one I disagree with, but others may have differing views (I also have a more conventional view on archaeological knowledge & timing), but the comments about human violence (host and guest are both vegan) I agree with. There is LOTS of good food for thought in this :)    

• “Do You Believe Magic Is Real?”   https://www.patheos.com/blogs/johnbeckett/2026/02/do-you-believe-magic-is-real.html   This also proposes three mechanisms for magic:   “I have my own theory for how magic works.   1. Magic works by the intercession of Gods and spirits.   2. Magic works by the manipulation of unseen energies.   3 Magic works by psychological programming.   Sometimes it’s one of those, sometimes it’s two, and sometimes it’s all three working together.”

• “Meet Big Brother: Palantir’s Australian expansion”   Crikey News   https://youtu.be/tPUsFzeECXE   “Palantir is in the business of data and surveillance. It is run by key members of the “tech right”, builds the technology that has powered violent and illegal ICE raids in the US, and is accused of providing the AI-assisted autonomous weapons the Israeli military deployed on Palestinians in Gaza.   So why does the Australian Future Fund hold a $100 million stake in Palantir? And how has the company secured multimillion-dollar contracts and top security clearance from government departments and agencies?”
