Post No. 633 - For Tomorrow Night's Meditation



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, from 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).

To further set the mood for this work, here are a couple of quotes from this surprising article:


Matters from this week include the following (opportunities are shown in green; good news is shown in purple; WARNING: some of these links may contain triggers around issues such as violence, sexual assault, discrimination, etc):

  • permanent issue: may all actual and potential BPLF Leaders be kept safe against any/all attempts to divert them away from effectively fulfilling their role of Service to Life by being effective BPLF Leader(s), including keeping them undetectable to the nonBPLF and keeping all their Significant Others inviolable against being used for indirect psychic attack (including also being kept undetectable to the nonBPLF), all as is for the Highest Spiritual Good;

From the UN’s Daily Briefings:

  • the UN Secretary-General has condemned in the strongest terms the shelling that hit a wedding party in Helmand province on 31 December, which reportedly killed 25 civilians and wounded 45 others, and urged the Government to carry out a full investigation of the incident and bring the perpetrators to justice;
  • the UN Stabilization Mission in Mali, MINUSMA, has expressed its concerns following violence in recent days in Zarho, in the Timbuktu region, and Bamba, in the Gao region;
  • 2nd January, 2015 marked the expiration of a six month grace period granted by the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) for the full and unconditional surrender and demobilization of the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR). The Team of International Envoys noted that the FDLR has not met this deadline, has in fact used this period to continue to commit human rights abuses against innocent people in Eastern DRC, recruit combatants, and champion its illegitimate political agenda, and thus, by failing to fully comply with the decisions of the ICGLR, SADC, and the United Nations Security Council, the FDLR has left the region and the international community with no other option than to pursue the military action by the DRC Government and MONUSCO, including its Force Intervention Brigade (FIB), in line with Security Council resolutions 2098 (2013) and 2147 (2014);
  • fighting has resumed in a number of areas in South Sudan, and two key UN officials have been expelled from Sudan, which will adversely impact humanitarian efforts. As livestock owners have fled the ongoing conflict, millions of animals have been displaced, leading to fresh outbreaks of disease and rising tensions between pastoral groups and farmers, as well as within different pastoralist communities. Both herders and farmers face a rising threat of armed conflict. Farmers have cut the amount of land they are planting by as much as 40 percent in areas such as Renk County, and the prices of basic staple foods are as much as four times higher in the most conflict-affected areas. As animals have been moved, diseases like East Coast Fever, foot-and-mouth disease and trypanosomiasis have devastated cattle production and have threatened the food security and livelihoods of pastoral communities across the country. FAO is increasing its livestock interventions in the country, focusing on strengthening and decentralizing the cold chain system for livestock vaccines, expanding the community-based animal health network and vaccination programme, deploying its own staff to lead and support disease surveillance efforts, helping to re-establish local laboratories for livestock disease diagnosis, and implementing a new milk voucher scheme for nutritionally at risk families;
  • according to casualty figures released on 1st January by the UN Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI), 1,101 Iraqis (680 civilian) were killed and another 1,868  (1,360 civilian) were wounded in acts of terrorism and violence in December. In 2014, UNAMI recorded a total minimum number of 35,408 civilian casualties (12,282 killed and 23,126 injured), which is higher than that in 2008 and is the worst experienced by Iraq since the violence in 2006-2007;
  • in response to events in The Gambia, the United Nation has expressed principled condemnation of all attempts to seize power through unconstitutional means, and called for all parties to exercise restraint and to refrain from further violence and for the establishment of a transparent investigation into the events of 30th December, in compliance with due process and respect for the rule of law. The United Nations will continue to closely monitor the situation;
  • UNIFIL and the Lebanese Armed Forces are investigating obstruction and attempts to interfere with a UNIFIL patrol which led to a warning shot being fired (is this potentially the entry or influence of Da’ish?);. The United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon Derek Plumbly paid tribute to Lebanon’s security forces, particularly the army, for all the efforts and sacrifices they have made to safeguard the country in the face of grave challenges this year;
  • in Libya, a terrorist attack that targeted a hotel in Tobruk where the House of Representatives was in session, and airstrikes were made against targets in the city of Misrata. The UN Mission to Libya has reminded those advocating military escalation that (a) they are actively creating obstacles to a consensual political solution to Libya’s crisis, and (b) that their actions are in violation of Security Council resolutions on Libya;
  • the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) has committed two attacks in the past week in the Central African Republic (CAR): on 22nd December, some 11 armed LRA “elements” moved into Moussa village in Mbomou prefecture, took several villagers hostage and injured others, and fled when MINUSCA troops in Rafai moved into the area, leaving behind all hostages, but the following day attacked Dabiapali village, 5 km from Moussa, and took six hostages (two of whom escaped three days later) and fled in the direction of Zemio. (This is the mob against whom the somewhat infamous - or dubious - film "Kony 2012" was made. On that film, see here, particularly the referenced links, for a more nuanced assessment);
  • the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has called for the Government of Bahrain to immediately release opposition leader Sheikh Salman, as well as all other persons convicted or detained for merely exercising their fundamental rights to freedom of expression and assembly, and, should Sheikh Salman be brought to trial, the Government of Bahrain should guarantee a fair trial;
  • 230,000 people have been displaced and 14 have been killed by flooding in north-eastern Malaysia. The Government of Malaysia is leading the humanitarian response to the flooding by providing food, water and shelter to people affected. Further heavy rain is expected in the coming days;
  • Tropical Storm Jangmi - locally known as Seniang - made landfall on the northeast coast of Mindanao on 29th December, passing through the eastern and central islands of the Visayas in the Philippines. Twenty-one people have been killed and 10 are reported missing, and 90,700 people have been affected with 78,000 in 343 evacuation centres. The Government of the Philippines is leading the response, including search and rescue efforts;
  • in Mali, the UN Mission has condemned a rocket attack against its camp in Tessalit;
  • the UN Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) welcomed the consultation meeting on the political process in the Central African Republic (CAR) that was held on 27th December by the transitional authorities in Bangui;
From other sites: 

  • the “War on the Rocks” blog has an article which mentions astral battles between the US and Russia (despite the somewhat disparaging reference, potentially significant in view of the Correllians determination of the causes of current negativity in the world) and gives a good example of the dangers of ‘urban myths’ and other conspiracy theories;   some thoughts on crisis management, limited and total war and how these relate to what has been happening in eastern Ukraine – which boils down to the phrase “there cannot be a military solution” (see here), but also the need to address what are – effectively – urban myths spread by agitators and other propaganda and to beware the “ ‘discourse trap’, whereby consistency with the fiction means that it must be upheld even when the result is to push policies to counter-productive and absurd positions”;   the links between India, Pakistan and the Middle East;   a story about the Cuban missile crisis;   some comments about the shortcomings of the media;

and:


 * see here and here, and think about how things affect other things, or the layers of an onion (peel off one cause, find another), and why I could be sub-titling my book based on this blog “a farewell to certainty” :) . As another thought, did this karmically contribute to the invasion of Belgium at the start of World War Part One? No, I don’t think so – group karma takes a long time – hundreds of years – to eventuate, it seems, part of which is getting those souls who were responsible and haven’t learned individually back together again to see if they can learn as a group.

[2] 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").

Love, light, hugs and blessings

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.

  • neither eloquence nor inarticulateness inherently indicates correctness, but, 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Our greatest struggle with, to borrow from pop culture, the Jedi-Sith scale, is not with the Sith, whether they are hiding or not: it is with the annoying, snotty-nosed, heroine/hero-worshipping little kid who keeps intruding, stopping us from being cool enough to be with our heroines/heroes, the big kids ...

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.

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.
