Post No. 3,570 - Some (hopefully) interesting reading / viewing / listening - Saturday 14th November, 2026

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

Please note: I have been ill all week, and continue to be ill. My writing will be a little off par for the time being ...  

  • “What the System Is Protecting”   The Cognitive Ecologist⁠   https://thecognitiveecologist.substack.com/p/what-the-system-is-protecting   “Cyberbullying, moral inversion, and the social architecture of cruelty”   AND ALSO   “These women make me so sad and angry”   Parkrose Permaculture   https://youtu.be/QFM48_2FzX4   “As a woman, as a mother, as somebody who cares deeply about people and the planet… It’s so frustrating to see other “earth mama” types saying these things.   Who do we want to be? What values do we have? Politics are one of the ways that we try to enact our values and live by them in the real world.  If you don’t do politics, they will do you.  It’s a position of tremendous privilege to say that you aren’t political.  Permaculture is incredibly political, motherhood is incredibly political.   Edit: I filmed this before we found out what Haley stevens did. I think it's really interesting to examine the ways that white women are not safe allies and put themselves in their own comfort and their own wealth and their own wants and egos first so often”   
  • “Our Paranormal Afterlife : Finding Proof of Life After Death: Evidential Spirit Communication”   https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/our-paranormal-afterlife-finding-proof-of-life-after-death/id1354455555?i=1000800541519   “This week I’m talking to Keith Thompson about his book ‘Anomalous Phenomena: Apports and the Mystery of Objects That Materialize and Translocate’ • Defines apports—objects that appear, vanish, or relocate under mysterious conditions—and documents the Scole Experiment’s remarkable physical materializations • Examines ancestral dreams revealing hidden truths, ghosts seeking resolution, conscious UFOs, spontaneous healings, and phantom companions guiding explorers in danger • Shows how these events point toward untapped human potentials and a larger model of reality where intention and meaning exert real effects ... Across cultures and centuries, the same motifs recur—phantom figures guiding the lost, ancestors arriving in dreams, unearthly lights that seem to rearrange reality’s fabric. Far from fringe curiosities, such episodes demand recognition as part of the human record. Threaded throughout this book are Thompson’s own glimpses of the uncanny. Inviting readers to reconsider the mind–matter divide, Thompson’s Anomalous Phenomena opens onto a larger, empirically open model of reality—one that brings science, spirit, and lived experience onto shared ground—where the extraordinary often lives just a breath from the ordinary”   AND ALSO   “Alien UFO Podcast: A Lifetime Of The Unknown SAT”   https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/alien-ufo-podcast/id1602263087?i=1000800547284   “This week I’m talking to Steve Neill about his book ‘But Something is There’ and his YouTube channel ‘Breaking the silence’. ‘But Something is There’ is Steve Neill’s journey through a life time of dealing with the unknown. Some call the experience “The Visitor”" some call it abduction by aliens. The truth is we don't know what it is, But Something is There.”

On society, governance, humanorights, etc (noting the childish thinking of M_G_):     

  • In view of the recent jailing of a sexual abuser, and allegations of sexual abuse in the UFO field, this podcast provides important (and, to be frank, long known - here, at any rate) perspective:   “We Used to be Journos: ONLY FRAN: Brand and Walliams - why an 'open secret' has come out now”   https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/we-used-to-be-journos/id1823491652?i=1000801774149   “There are many, many reasons why survivors of sexual assault do not - or cannot - speak up when an assault takes place. In this episode of Only Fran, Jan draws on some of the similarities between Russell Brand’s crimes and the allegations against David Walliams to help explain why survivors of sexual assault (and their allies) might not report those instances when they happen and why - after decades of their predatory behaviour being an 'open secret' - we're all hearing about it now.

Post No. 3,569 - Inappropriate reactions/attractions

I recently touted “The Ethical Psychic” by Jennifer Lisa Vest, PhD, pub. North Atlantic Books, Berkeley, USA, ISBN 9781623177393 (Kobo,  Penguin Random House,  Barnes & Noble,  Bookshop,  Apple Books,  Amazon). 

I’d like to write about one perspective from that book, which relates to the topic of inappropriate reactions to teachers, acts of agape, etc, which I have written about, for instance, at  “agape”   https://gnwmythrsglossary.blogspot.com/2014/04/agape.html ,  “Post No. 221 - Inappropriate reactions to (agape) love”   https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/2011/02/inappropriate-reactions-to-agape-love.html ,  and  “Post No. 183 - Avoiding positive energy”   https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/2010/11/avoiding-positive-energy.html   

To simplify, I attribute such inappropriate reactions to glamour, abuses of the power imbalance, self punishment, failure to comprehend spirituality/dispassionate love (i.e., agape), and so forth.  

However, Ms List Vest also identifies another factor: 

the attraction of “supersensory” power/energy/ability - even if people are not physically attractive according to the mores and biases of a culture. 

That sort of impact would be strengthened by the sorts of exercises I use to strengthen my abilities (particularly the alternate nostril breathing), which explains what I considered surprising attractions when I started my training - as I couldn’t work out what I had done wrong (I sought to actively discourage such involvements). 

Now, I know I hadn’t done anything wrong - it was just an outcome of the energy.  

This, incidentally, has not been an issue as I age, underwent overwork and related problems at work, and wound up living a relatively isolated life to ensure ill family members are safe (they have low to no immune systems at times) - which is a relief. 

I can, however, pass that point on to others who may need it.
