(a) that is too much work to do on that one day (it takes me around 4 hours to do each psychic weather report), and
(b) that is too much information for you, Dear Reader, to think about in too little time.
I'll aim to publish these on Saturday, and my Psychic Weather Report (all I need is an autocue somewhere, and I'll call myself a Weather Girl :) ) on Sunday, and one other post somewhere in the week. I've got a few other posts in various stages of preparation, incidentally, I just have to get the time and energy to finish them :)
Warning: some of the links contain triggers around violence and sexual assault.
So, on with the show ...
As a reminder, I started this meditation regime based on the idea of
generating the energy of peace, as set out in the channelled teachings of “The Nine” in Phyllis V. Schlemmer's "The Only Planet of
Choice" (see p. 279 - well, in my copy at least :) ), which was the follow up to the
brilliant "Briefing
for the Landing on Planet Earth" by Stuart Holroyd. “The Nine” proposed getting twelve (or a minimum
of three) people to meditate for eighteen minutes (or a minimum of nine
minutes) at 9 PM Sunday in Jerusalem, which is based on using the Magickal
Principle of Harmony (of time), from the Watery Magickal Law of Frequency,
and the Magickal
Principle of Effect, from the Earthy Magickal
Law of Strength and Common Sense. In other
words, get everyone working together, at the same time, and as many people as
possible, for as much impact as possible. Now, that is valid, but getting
people to work at the same time across the world is an incredibly difficult
proposition – and, in my experience (including
for multinational companies in my day job) leads to fewer people taking
part. That experience also includes my time at the Correllian Shrine of the Crystal Web,
where one member (not me) pointed out
that having people perform work at the same hour by their local time can build
up a wave of energy going around the entire planet, which is the Magickal Principle
of Dynamism from the Fiery Magickal Law
of the Taijitu. That worked well there, and so I have adopted it
for these meditations. I also am happy for every person who wants to contribute
to do so, rather than waiting until there is a group of a minimum size, which relies on harmony of focus being a way of overcoming physical separation (which is the Magickal Principle of Magickal Distance, in the Airy Magickal Law of Distance). I also include
the use of clearing, so there is more than one difference to the original
proposal. However, the more people who join in, the better. I would also like
to point out that other people have been working on the use of coordinated,
group meditation for beneficial effect, including the Lucis Trust's Triangles network (which has been running for many decades, since
before World War Part Two, I think), the Correllian Tradition's 'Spiritual War for Peace'
(begun in 2014), the Healing Minute started by the
late, great Harry
Edwards (held at 10Am and 10PM local time each day, and one can pay to
be officially registered. This also has been running for decades); and a
Druid ritual
for peace, to be performed at each Full Moon (begun in 2014, I think).
Probably the most significant item of concern this week is Russia reportedly
sending tanks into Ukraine. Not the move of a clever or respected statesman, Mr
Putin – it just takes the world closer to a conflict that risks destroying much
of Russia, and doing massive damage elsewhere. It is Russia, Mr Putin, your allegedly beloved Russia, that would come off worse in a war against the rest of the world.
Other matters from this week include the
following (opportunities
are shown in green; good news is shown in
purple):
- the African nation of Burkina Faso has started a one year transition to democracy, after a fairly brief uprising, which happened after “joint mediation undertaken by the United Nations, the African Union and the Economic Community of West African States and the Presidents of Ghana, Nigeria and Senegal, as well as the support of international partners”;
- Ebola continues to increase in Sierra Leone, and there and in Guinea and Liberia there continues to be a need for foreign medical teams (and underreporting of cases and deaths is suspected – and Ebola has occurred in the DR Congo and elsewhere). On the positive side, Japan has pledged $40million to each nation;
- the International Finance Corporation has announced a package of at least $450 million in commercial financing “that will enable trade, investment, and employment in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone”, which is something I will do a lot of work on to make sure it is BPLF, sustainable, fair and equitable, and has no onerous outcomes;
- Libya’s Supreme Court has declared the elected, UN-backed Parliament illegal, with that group based in Tobruk and a rival Parliament centred in Tripoli, and the UN calling on all parties “to place the national interest above all other considerations”;
- the African Union-United Nations Mission in Darfur has called on the Government of Sudan to grant it unhindered access to all of Darfur, in accordance with the "Status of Forces Agreement", and especially to areas were alleged incidents affecting civilians have been reported, particularly Tabit, where the media has reported an alleged mass rape of 200 women and girls and to which a verification patrol was denied access;
- the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, has spoken out against Sri Lanka’s attacks on the investigation of human rights abuses in that country;
- Lebanon continues to struggle to hold elections;
- the “Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says that according to government estimates, military operations in Pakistan’s North Waziristan and Khyber Agencies have uprooted more than 34,000 families since 20 October”;
- there are allegations of “votes for cash in the context of a potential 'No Confidence' motion” in Somalia, but no official statements have yet been made on this. If true, it would be a great shame, given how much has occurred in recent years to establish stable and effective government there;
- Robert Serry, the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, “confirmed that the temporary Gaza reconstruction mechanism has commenced its operations, with a priority on making available reconstruction material for urgent shelter repairs. As of Monday, some 700 beneficiaries were able to purchase much needed construction material in order to start the rehabilitation of their homes after the recent devastating conflict in Gaza” (and why do they have to purchase these materials? Can not a better way of help be found for a people with limited resources than them using those limited resources to buy materials they need?);
- one year after Typhoon Hainan, the UN has noted that “roughly 3.7 million people with food assistance, almost one million people with rehabilitated water systems and 4,900 temporary learning spaces have been created for children over the past year. The Humanitarian Coordinator noted the extraordinary resilience of the Filipino people who, despite the unprecedented destruction and tragedy that struck, pushed through individually and collectively”. Whilst progress is good, is this too little, and too slow? I recall the concerns about slow response at the time: this may be an opportunity for doing work (clearing links and sending positive energy to key people, who are not necessarily in the Philippines) to make sure that relief efforts are of an appropriate scale and type, and help build resilience against future such disasters;
- in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the UN Mission announced “that more than 200 people were arrested in relation to the recent attacks against civilians around Beni in North Kivu”, which would appear to be a good step from past conflicts towards a stable, peaceful and law abiding society;
- in South Sudan, the UN Mission reports that high tensions are continuing among displaced civilians, resulting in violence and injuries, and concerns have been expressed about similar tensions in refugee camps in Kenya;
- the United Nations humanitarian chief Valerie Amos has allocated $3.5 million from the Central Emergency Response Fund for humanitarian operations in Nigeria’s northeast, and the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs is calling for $173.1 million to address the immediate needs of 1.26 million people across Iraq in need of assistance over winter;
- the UN Refugee Agency has launched a ten year global campaign aimed at ending statelessness, which affects 10 million people, largely as a direct consequence of discrimination based on ethnicity, religion or gender, with a child being born stateless every ten minutes;
- there has been a terrorist attack on the Pakistani side of the Wagah border crossing with India (and how many in Iraq, this week Or elsewhere?);
- UNESCO has grave concern at the systematic persecution of minority communities in Iraq and attacks against their cultural and religious heritage;
- the First International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists occurred earlier this week;
- some idiot (note the original Greek meaning of this word, and that we are ALL part of the human community) in Europe has proposed letting refugees die, which has been refuted by the UN OHCHR pointing out that this shows a lack of respect for the value of (human) life;
- the UN has set out countries’ obligations to tackle harmful practices such as FGM and forced marriage;
- the UN is taking action to provide redress and rehabilitation for former child slaves;
- the IWPR has reported on activities it has undertaken to support more inclusive societies; better journalism and freedom of expression; strengthening accountability; and also on alleged problems with the Bosnian census; sexual violence in a Nairobi slum; a US official stating that North Koreans were seen as strong, not victims; that the leaderships of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, have successfully navigated their way through months of tensions on their common border, although there is still much to be done to address the roots of conflict on the ground; and the need for the international community to step up pressure on Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan with regard to political prisoners;
- the International Crisis Group has issued reports on the crisis/opportunity around the peace process in Turkey with the Kurds, which has been complicated by what is happening in Syria; Angola’s development as a “global player”; the need for fighting terrorism to go beyond law and address causes; imminent military offensives in South Sudan after the wet season; actions to avoid prolonged uncertainty and possible crisis in Mugabe’s Zimbabwe; the need for further action to prevent further violence in Venezuela, which is currently experiencing a fragile calm; the fragility of Cameroon’s apparent stability and recent government reforms; and the dangers of conflicts over water in Central Asia (the Deputy Secretary-General, Jan Eliasson, warned, at the Economist’s World Water Summit in London, that the world today is experiencing a surge of water-related crises);
- Human Rights Watch has reported on the need for the Saudi government to go beyond actions taken with regard to the recent killing of Shia men, to “urgently confronting the pernicious and long-standing discrimination against the country’s Shia citizens that has fed the sectarian impulses leading to such horrific attacks”; the use of anti-personnel mines in Libya; a human rights lawyer being kicked out of Belarus, allegedly for speeding; “forced labour” (slavery); problems in Uganda; alleged police abuses in Ecuador; alleged return by the USA of “unauthorised migrants” to risk of harm; ongoing problems in Burma; and a call for President Obama to include human rights in his visit to China;
- the UN Secretary-General said, earlier this week, in Vienna, that "the overarching imperative for our planet’s future is sustainable development, and that inclusive and sustainable industrial development can drive success";
- the next G20 summit is soon – which is an opportunity to do some concentrated clearing of negative energy and sending of positive (BPLF) energy, both to the attendees, those in Brisbane who have had their lives disrupted (the company I work for is shutting its offices in that city for the period – and I think a Public Holiday has been declared to cover the effect of the lock down), those affected by the suspension of human rights, those protesting and those providing security – who need particular help to ensure that all that they do is Balanced Positive; and
- Russia is still trying to kill Russian (LGBTIQ) kids.

Please see here and my post "The
Death of Wikipedia" for the
reasons I now recommend caution when using Wikipedia. I'm also exploring use of
h2g2, although that doesn't appear to be as
extensive (h2g2 is intended - rather
engagingly - to be the Earth edition of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to
the Galaxy").

Gnwmythr,

My "blogiography" (list of all posts and guide as to how to best use this site) is here, and my glossary/index is here.
I started this blog to cover karmic regression-rescue (see here and here), and it grew ... See here for my group mind project, here and here for my "Pagans for Peace" project (and join me at 9 PM on Sunday, wherever you are, to meditate for peace), and here for my bindrune kit-bag. I also strongly recommend learning how to flame, ground and shield, do alternate nostril breathing, work with colour, and see also here and be flexible.
- Gnwmythr's Stropping Strap: Occam's Razor only works if the simplest solution is actually recognised as being the simplest, rather than the one that best fits one's bigotries being labelled 'simplest'.
- Our entire life experience, with all the many wondrous and varied people, places and events in it, is too small a sample for statistical reliability about Life.
- May the world of commerce and business be recognised to be a servant, not a master, of the lives of people.
- Being accustomed to interacting via certain rules makes those rules neither right nor universal.
- Like fire to the physical, emotions to the soul make a good servant, and a bad master.
- The means shape the end.
- As words can kill, the right to freedom of speech comes with a DUTY to be as well-informed, objective and balanced as you can be.
- My favourite action movie of all time is "Gandhi", although I've recently come across "Invictus" and might put that one in to that category. However, I loathe the stereotypical action movie - and, for similar reasons, I loathe many dramas, which are often emotionally violent, more so in some cases than many war films.
- All of the above - and this blog - could be wrong, or subject to context, perspective, or state of spiritual evolution ...
Human dignity
is the inherently cumulative holistic combination of human rights,
wellbeing and potential, and all actions or interaction which promote,
realise or facilitate same. The converse also applies: whatever
degrades, diminishes or robs humans of dignity, is inherently
undignified.
The “purpose” of spiritual evolution is not the attainment of “spiritual perfection” - not in the sense of not having to evolve further, at any rate, since there is no such thing. We need to evolve in order to grow - but we can take rest breaks (hopefully well earned :) ) along the way. No, the “purpose” of evolution is, rather, to perfect our ability to learn, and thus grow.
Jesus loves you. Odin wants you to grow up.

Females, get over 'cute'. Get competent. Get trained. Get capable. Get over 'cute'. And those of you who are called Patty and Debby and Suzy, get over that. Because we use those names to infantalise females – we keep females in their 'little girl' state by the names we use for them. Get over it. If you want to be taken seriously, get serious.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good [people] to do nothing.

True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it is not haphazard and superficial. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There are risks and costs to a program of
action. But they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of
comfortable inaction.
