Post No. 3,549 - Some (hopefully) interesting reading / viewing / listening - Saturday 17th October, 2026

I recently found the following interestingoand/orouseful, and am posting them here inocase anyoneoelse does asowelll.

“What Male Gurus Could Learn From Mothers” No Nonsense Spirituality | Britt Hartley https://youtu.be/pJ_MMCEIljA “What if the spiritual advice to “lose your ego” is exactly the wrong advice for someone who has already spent years losing herself? In this episode of No Nonsense Spirituality, atheist spiritual director Brit Hartley explores ego dissolution, ego death, and the spiritual double standard surrounding motherhood. Through the lens of gender socialization under patriarchy, she asks why temporary experiences through meditation, psychedelics, fasting, and retreats can earn men recognition as spiritual teachers, while the profound identity changes of pregnancy, childbirth, and caregiving are treated as ordinary expectations. Brit introduces matrescence—the psychological transformation of becoming a mother—and argues for ego balance: learning to hold both yourself and others. For people taught to prioritize everyone else, spiritual growth may involve setting boundaries, developing interests, using their voice, and rebuilding a sense of self after motherhood or patriarchal religion. This discussion focuses on socialization rather than biological destiny, acknowledging that individual experiences vary. If you have ever confused self-erasure with spiritual growth, this episode offers a different way to think about identity, interconnectedness, and finding yourself again” AND ALSO “I bought a luxury car to prove I'd made it. It did the opposite” https://www.sbs.com.au/news/insight/article/i-spent-years-chasing-more-then-i-asked-myself-one-question/92glbpp4x “Lisa Beckley thought she'd made it. Then she realised what Australian culture defines as impressive doesn't make her happy. ... Staying in the rat race starts to feel less like wanting more, and more like trying to create safety in an uncertain world.” AND ALSO “MAGA is a Daycare for Adult Children” Lucas Bean https://lucasbean.substack.com/p/maga-is-a-daycare-for-adult-children This discuses the three types of empathy

“Psychic Healing at a Distance? | RARE Matthew Manning Interview” The Cosmic Clock https://youtu.be/fkHWGYQIcnA Recorded in the 1970s AND ALSO “Does the Mind Shape Reality? A New Experiment Puts Quantum Consciousness to the Test” https://noetic.org/blog/quantum-consciousness/ “For decades, physics has wrestled with the “measurement problem.” This is the mystery of why observing a quantum system causes it to transition from a cloud of all possible states into one definite state. A new experiment suggests that human consciousness might be the missing piece of the puzzle, and that its influence might even stretch backward through time.” AND ALSO “Recent Research on Precognitive Lucid Dreaming” https://noetic.org/blog/precognitive-lucid-dreaming/

There are solutions, but they involve changing how we think - and remembering things like the age pension was promised as a return on invested taxes (basically, something like super), not input from others working and paying tax to support retirees! Being homed needs to be seen as a right that takes precedence over the greedy desire to keep getting bigger and bigger and sleazier and sleazier houses! Unnatural persons (i.e., corporations) need to stop having more power than natural (i.e., real individuals) persons! Get rid of neoliberal ideology that arbitrarily defines government investment as lesser than private even if it is the same fund! We have an awareness of the problems and possible solutions that previous eras didn’t - use it!

This video explores the historical context of 1930s Berlin and its relevance to contemporary American democracy, particularly in relation to Ilhan Omar and the challenges she faces. By examining the rise of extremist ideologies and the erosion of democratic norms in pre-war Germany, we can gain valuable insights into the dangers of divisive rhetoric, xenophobia, and authoritarianism. Join us as we delve into the lessons of history and their implications for the future of American democracy, highlighting the importance of protecting democratic institutions, promoting civic engagement, and fostering a culture of inclusivity and respect. Learn how the experiences of 1930s Berlin can inform our understanding of the current state of American politics and the role of leaders like Ilhan Omar in shaping the country’s future.”

Possible flaws

Where I can, I will try to highlightopossible flaws / issues youoshouldoconsider:

there mayobe flawedologicaloarguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan Myers’ freeoonline course “Clear and Present Thinking”;
I could be wrong - so keep your thinkingocaps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

teaching the "good" (balancedopositive and spirituallyomature [BPM])
safer and more effective ways to counter the "bad" (outoofobalance, spirituallyoimmature [nonBPM/antiBPM])

IMO, OTAAT (“one term at a time”) is the next action to save representative democracy, along with establishment of an organisation of human-rights observing democracies as a functional alternative to the UN (especially the veto-sabotaged UN SC), along with all organisations being run using the seven "business" principles listed here, but also note this “Vision for Humanity”

Remember: we generallyoneed to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgenderingois an act of activeotransphobia/transmisiaothat 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 descriptoroto prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).

Post No. 3,548 - House clearings and businesses I would consider working for

I recently mentioned that I was thinking about getting back into house clearings (although infection control for my family member may preclude that for the next few months), and I thought I would mention a few points about that:

firstly, the house would be cleared using:

the basic work of this blog - i.e., clearing nonBPM nonphysical units, and BPM healing, and BPM strengthening of BPM units;
teaching of the people on protection, etc;
possibly creation of small protective devices, such as Talismanic Tetrahedrons;

however, the preparation would include:

one week of dowsing for and mapping energy in and near the house (as I used to do for the PWRs) and also doing elemental energy assessments - with the time of day and day of week varying so I could get an idea of variations/cycles/ external influences;
as much pre-clearing etc as is possible;

follow up would be needed to attend to any adaptation by antiBPM units/influences or new problems created by the occupants.

I have written about house clearings here.

On another matter, as I start reading Eric Ries' book “Incorruptible” (pub. Simon & Schuster, 2026, ISBN:9798893312065; I first came across this here (Substack); Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Amazon), I am now satisfied I have a reasonably complete set of criteria for companies that I would consider working at (sadly, after I have stopped doing so - or stopped doing so full time, if I manage to find more part time work [I have some]):

be demonstrably seriously committed to managing the climate crisis;
have demonstrably implemented and monitored DEI and human rights commitments (including monitoring and, ideally, testing decision makers for unmanaged unconscious bias);
NOT be a cult - which requires respect for workers' boundaries (including work-life balance and the right to disconnect) and their families (no invasion of social media), and generally being ethical ( a few companies have blown this during or even before interviews);
be worker owned or part owned, with profit sharing that does NOT require buying in;
have B Corp registration;
use servant leadership; and
use the strategies (e.g., being listed on the LTSE, or Long Term Stock Exchange) from Eric Ries' book “Incorruptible”.

PS - the lessons in this book, although aimed at businesses, are, I suspect, going to be of value to other organisations - ESPECIALLY POLITICAL ... reading continues ...
