For everyone’s convenience, I’ve shifted the reminders / explanations about
Sunday’s meditation-clearing
to the end of this post.
Now,
the themes – short, medium and long term - that come to mind for my work this
week, after I review all this news, are (and no apologies if this repeats the
themes of any previous weeks – in fact, given the size of this task, that is to
be expected):
(a) the importance of learning to get along with others sufficiently to allow the collaborative decision making of democracy, and to allow it to be BPLF (which requires education, information, etc);(b) the importance of learning to get along with others sufficiently to avoid discrimination;(c) the importance of talking as a way of effectively transitioning those parts of the world which are discriminatory and/or undemocratic in BPLF [1] way - which is the only effective way to do so;(d) as the old activist saying goes, the personal is political, which means addressing violence, discrimination and undemocratic behaviour everywhere is essential – the Dr Martin Luther King Jr. saying that “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” is a good philosophical summation, but the effects of the psychic energy is something I - and hopefully we, Dear Reader – know to be real;(e) the past is still present, in the sense that colonial borders are a problem, and also in the sense that some issues are repeating, but we also need to learn intelligently from the past, and not just assume the present is an unaltered copy of the past, and thus different response to problems may be needed now (and this sort of intelligent response does appear, to me, to be present in an encouraging number of places);(f) political violence, social violence, poverty and its associated problems and the evil of control (including nonBPLF abuse of media and restriction on good BPLF media, and acknowledging the need for effective, BPLF training to enable such journalism) are present in the world, details below, and need to be BPLF addressed;(g) at this stage, the modern concept of the nation-state is with us, and is probably the best way to address these problems (Tunisia is a good example, Yemen a poor example, and Somalia may be changing from poor to good, with Turkey’s assistance), but the UN and other international organs such as the International Criminal Court are of increasing importance, and are capable of being effective agencies for change for the better, and a way of BPLF addressing international disputes (details of specific actions/issues below, if you are interested);
(h) sometimes BPLF action is firm, and may even involve military action to restrain those who are actively hurting others.
Don’t forget the ”Shield of Hope”,
and the importance of clearing nonBPLF units, as well as thinking about
people and places that are most in need of help through tomorrow evening’s meditation.
Also, we are part of a planet of billions: it may take persistent, patient effort
to realise the results we are seeking – and doing so in a BPLF [1] way
is only effective way to do so.
News and other 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: Incidentally, the purpose of reading these news links is not only to inform: it is also to stimulate a connection to nonBPLF units (people, places, objects, concepts, energies, etc) that need to be cleared and BPLF units (people, places, objects, concepts, energies, etc) that need to be strengthened. That only works if you don’t let yourself be overwhelmed by this, so take it in small chunks if you need to, but remember to actively clear and heal!
- permanent issue: may all actual and potential BPLF [1] 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;
- 2nd permanent issue: may all actual BPLF workers create, with the guidance and assistance of their Higher Self and BPLF allies, a reserve of positive (BPLF) energy, links, allies and other units, sufficient to act as a (tactical) reserve for when it is needed and to ensure that all the BPLF support and resources they need continue;
From the UN’s Daily Briefings
(and other sources):
- according to a new report by the UN Human Rights Office released this week, attacks against girls seeking to go to school persist and, alarmingly, seem to be occurring with increasing regularity in some countries. In 2012 alone, there were some 3,600 separate attacks against schools, teachers and students. Attacks took place in at least 70 countries between 2009 and 2014;
- the Secretary-General strongly condemns the attack on a Shia mosque in Peshawar in Pakistan during Friday prayers, which has reportedly killed at least 19 people and injured dozens;
- a key milestone towards a new, universal agreement on climate change was reached this week in Geneva, with 194 nations having agreed on a negotiating text after seven days of negotiations;
- in response to earlier questions on the Secretary-General’s reaction to the killings earlier this week in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, the Spokesman said that the Secretary-General was deeply moved by the scenes of thousands of Americans -- as well as many around the globe -- coming together to mourn the lives of three young Americans murdered in Chapel Hill, North Carolina this week;
- the United Nations appointed a high-level team to conduct an Inquiry into the events of 27th January in Gao, Mali, where a violent demonstration against a MINUSMA camp resulted in the death and injury of protestors;
- the UN Refugee Agency, UNHCR, is calling for urgent humanitarian access to refugees and internally displaced people, as the violence in north-eastern Nigeria now spilling over into Niger, Cameroon, and Chad, and the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says that there continues to be violence in Niger’s Diffa region following Boko Haram attacks over the weekend. In a statement we issued over the weekend, the Secretary-General noted the decision of the Nigerian Independent Electoral Commission to postpone the general elections, initially scheduled for 14th February 2015, and urged the electoral authorities to take all necessary measures, such as the rapid distribution of the remaining Permanent Voter Cards, to enable all eligible citizens, including those displaced, to exercise their right to vote in a timely manner;
- the Deputy Secretary-General, Jan Eliasson, meet with Professor Ibrahim Ghandour, Assistant to President Omar Hassan-Al Bashir of Sudan and Deputy Chairman of the National Congress Party in Sudan, and discussed the National Dialogue called for by President Bashir and ongoing efforts to end hostilities in Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile. They also exchanged views on the situation in Darfur, including ongoing discussions on an exit strategy for UNAMID. The Deputy Secretary-General underscored the need to end the fighting in Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile, to ensure humanitarian access to people in need, to achieve an inclusive and transparent National Dialogue and expressed concern over continued allegations of mass rape in the village of Thabit in Darfur on which he urged the Government of Sudan to allow UNAMID access to carry out a full investigation into the incident (mentioned by HRW this week also – see below). The UN Humanitarian Coordinator ad interim in Sudan, Adnan Khan, strongly condemned an attack on Sudanese Red Crescent Society staff in Blue Nile State this week, which resulted in the killing of three aid workers and seriously injured another staff member;
- the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Valerie Amos wrapped up a three-day visit to South Sudan this week, alongside Forest Whitaker the Special Envoy of Special Envoy for the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and said she met with people who are desperate for peace. There is a woman, a child, a man behind every statistic and the numbers are large, she stressed, with 2.5 million people urgently needing help with food in the country. She also paid tribute to the humanitarian workers in South Sudan, including 13 who lost their lives since the beginning of the conflict, and said we need to sustain the financial support to the country;
- in the Central African Republic, more assistance is needed for displaced people trapped by conflict, and he UN Mission in the Central African Republic, MINUSCA, announced that it had retaken public buildings in Bria, illegally occupied by ex-Seleka members;
- the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has said that more than 60 per cent of the people in Yemen need humanitarian assistance - nearly 16 million Yemenis who desperately need food, clean water and sanitation. At a Security Council meeting on Yemen this week, the Secretary-General warned that the country is collapsing before our eyes and that we cannot stand by and watch (see also here);
- the World Food Programme (WFP) said today that despite a very volatile security situation, it has provided food assistance to more than 1 million people displaced across Iraq since an upsurge in violence in mid-June;

- the High Commissioner for Refugees, António Guterres, said that, following the deaths of at least 300 people trying to reach Europe from Libya earlier this week, there can be no doubt that Europe’s Operation Triton is a woefully inadequate replacement for Italy’s Mare Nostrum;
- the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has released a new report painting a bleak picture of the increasing turmoil and lawlessness in Libya (there is a War on the Rocks article on that this week as well);
- U.N. agencies and partners need $705 million for aid efforts in occupied Palestinian territory;
- the World Bank announced today it had mobilized up to $15 million in emergency financing to provide 10,500 tons of maize and rice seed to more than 200,000 farmers in the Ebola-affected countries of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, in time for the April planting season;
- in a message on the International Day against the Use of Child Soldiers, the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the UN Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, Leila Zerrougui, said that children are increasingly vulnerable to recruitment and use by armed groups, as conflicts around the world become more brutal, intense and widespread;
- in a meeting with US Assistant Secretary of State Nisha Biswal, Assistant Secretary Oscar Fernandez-Taranco discussed among other issues the situation in Bangladesh, expressing concern about the escalation of violence and stressing the need for peaceful de-escalation of the situation (which the ICG has reported on this week – see below);
- the UN Special Envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, has completed two days of discussions in Damascus with the Syrian Government, including a meeting this morning with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, aimed at reducing the violence and increasing humanitarian access to all Syrians (see the War of the Rocks links below for more on Assad);

- the UN mission in Somalia and its partners, including the African Union, the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development and the European Union, issued a statement today welcoming the Somali Parliament’s approval of a new cabinet (see link below to article on surprising – beneficial – role of Turkey in Somalia);
The “Wronging Rights” blog
has an article on pressure by the government in
Myanmar for a regional newspaper to change its name – a change which is
associated with discrimination against the Rohingya. This is a nation which has
failed to deliver on its promise, with the recent arrival of democracy - allegedly -
after five decades of military dictatorship.
From other sites:
- the “War on the Rocks” blog has: an article on Da’esh’s use of media, their attempts to use this to destabilise Jordan (as al Qa’ida [spelling from here] did in Iraq, by emphasising sectarian divisions), and the lack of media attention on other atrocities, such as those of Assad, who allegedly is not attacking Da'esh (I will not legitimise Da’esh by using any term involving the word “State”; here is an article providing lessons on the failed Syrian rebellion from a surprising source); an article on the shortcomings of academia with respect to teaching international relations (which I can relate to because of my less than impressive contact with academics in my day job of engineering); a very good article on the need to prevent violent extremism (to which the article gives the acronym “PVE”) and counter violent extremism (to which the article gives the acronym “CVE”), the failure of the USA to keep pace with the tactics and strategies used by the violent extremists, and a few suggestions on specific actions to undertake to address that (which I always like to see: the article is being constructive, not just pulling others down; incidentally, the article says this is one of nine “lines of effort” on this matter – which include things like enhancing women’s rights, and addressing “root causes and grievances that may breed violent extremism in disenfranchised populations” … I’m considering pointing this article [and the links in it] out to our local pollies, actually); an article which argues that, whilst it seems that today’s problems in the Middle East can be traced back to the Western nations’ imposition of borders after World War Part One, the Balkans show that regions are capable of destroying themselves over borders, and the Soviets attempts to address ethnic groups in Central Asia also led to problems (the latter argument, in my view, suffers from the problems that the attempt was imposed from Moscow, by Stalin, and was an approach predicated on the existence of the USSR – as acknowledged in the article; the article also fails to recognise that some nations come into existence relatively peacefully – e.g., Australia, although that is largely a combination of being geographically isolated, and earlier savagery that nearly wipe out our indigenous population); an article on the need to be cautious when seeking to learn from historical situations; an article on concerns with Pakistan; and an at times poorly worded article on the divisions within Libya and possible ways to address them; (and there are other articles which I have concerns with, and thus have not referred to);
- the Nonviolent Conflict site has: an article on how well Tunisia is doing compared to other Arab nations; an article on the sentencing by an Israeli court of a Palestinian “non-violent Human Rights Defender” (EU term) which I would like to see consider broader context issues; an article on the struggle for self-determination in the Western Sahara; a review of the “Mexico autumn”, associated with the killing of 43 students; a report on the support of the PNG Prime Minister for the people of West Papua; and an article on Russian opposition to Russian involvement in the Ukraine conflict;
- the Institute for War and Peace Reporting has: a report on the training of Libyan media students in Tunisia; a report on an upsurge in fighting between Azerbaijani and Armenian troops, which has been accompanied by increasingly tough rhetoric, leading to the ceasefire that has held for two decades being under more strain than ever before (note the War on the Rocks article about borders, which also covered central Asia); and a report on the problems still being experienced in the border regions between South Ossetia and Abkhazia, and Georgia;
- the International Crisis Group has: a report on the political crisis in Bangladesh;
- Human Rights Watch has an article on the glimmer of hope that some of the victims of Pakistan’s appalling blasphemy laws may have; an article I disagree with regarding the state of the campaign against Da’esh (I don’t think the author has a proper appreciation of timelines required), but which does make a good point about the need to address Assad’s atrocities and sectarianism in Iraq; a report on a rare conviction and jailing in the Philippines of the murderer of a journalist; an article on the continuing “virginity test” abuse of women in Indonesia; a report on moves to better protect the victims of sexual violence associated with Colombia’s five decades long episode of violence (sadly, the nation has experienced other times of violence), a conflict that has killed 220,000 and displaced five million over the decades - and had 10,000 killed or injured by landmines since 1990, and which has influence from the US government (anti-communist policies in the 60s, which probably contributed to starting this mess) and the US mafia (drugs) … this nation’s motto is liberty and order, incidentally: may it be so; a criticism of the UK’s legislative response to recent terrorist events in France; a report on attacks on the media in Libya; a report on the problem of forced disappearances in Pakistan, and that nation’s Supreme Court’s direction of one step to address that; a report on my nation’s appalling abuse of children in “immigration detention”, an analysis of Europe’s response to the terrorist attacks in France; and a report on an incident of mass rape in Darfur (mentioned by the UN this week, also);

Now,
my regular weekly reminder / explanation.
Remember that, in general, every ‘bad’ news story is something that
requires:
(i) clearing of all negative energy associated with the event directly (e.g., pain, fear, etc on the part of the direct victims) or indirectly (e.g., fear, overreactions, inappropriate reactions, or seeking to outdo others’ reactions in others reached via the media);(ii) healing of those harmed;(iii) that those responsible be found through BPLF [1] means and brought to BPLF justice (if otherwise, as the means shape the end, the result will a society that is lessened and a strengthening of the so-called ‘law of the jungle’ [2]); and(iv) that BPLF inspiration be given to enable all to rise above this, and take BPLF actions that will ensure a BPLF prevention of a recurrence, in the sense that USA President John F Kennedy talked of “true and lasting peace”.
Thus, every one of these ‘bad news’ stories is an opportunity – but,
furthermore, so
are many of the ‘good’ news stories, which often requires
nonBPLF units to be cleared to prevent blocking of improvements, to help those
who are busting their guts and becoming exhausted trying to make good things
happen, and to provide some much needed BPLF inspiration and encouragement –
everysinglegoodnewsstory.
Don’t
be complacent :)
Mow, keep always in mind that I started this meditation programme 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 [2].
“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 they had found 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).
“The Nine” are the first source I
can remember talking about Balanced
Positive, which is where I get the term BPLF [1], but:
However, I agree that 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:
- “External armed interventions tend to extend the duration of civil wars and even worse, increase the number of civilians killed. A country has a more than 40% chance of relapsing into civil war within 10 years if the conflict is resolved through violent means”;
- “Admittedly, a political struggle is not a panacea for every type of violence, but nonviolent organizing and mobilizing against violent actors have proven to be historically twice as effective as and three times shorter than armed struggle, not to mention almost 10 times more likely to bring about a democratic outcome within 5 years after the end of the conflict than its violent counterpart.”
Ongoing military conflicts are listed at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ongoing_military_conflicts,
and include (as of Wednesday 21st
January, 2015):
- five with 10,000 or more deaths per year (Islamist insurgency in Nigeria, War in Afghanistan, Syrian Civil War, Iraqi Civil War, South Sudanese Civil War);
- nine with 1,000 – 9,999 deaths per year (Israeli–Palestinian conflict, War in Darfur, War in North-West Pakistan, Shia insurgency in Yemen, Mexican Drug War, War in Somalia, Central African Republic conflict, War in Donbass, Libyan Civil War);
- 17 with 100 – 999 deaths per year; and
- another 17 with less than 100 deaths per year.
This can be viewed as a map at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ongoing_conflicts_around_the_world.svg
(keep in mind that nations involved have
been coloured in completely, whereas the conflict may be in only a part of that
nation).
Finally, but far from least, don’t forget
the Shield of Hope. This area is formed by (part or all of) the South Atlantic Ocean, Southern and Eastern Africa (including both sources of the Nile), the Indian sub-continent (including the Himalayas) and the Indian
Ocean, shown in gold on this week’s
energy map, and the aim is to ensure this area consistently has BPLF energy at
or above 7 by the time Neptune leaves Pisces, on around
30th March, 2025 (a date which
has an eclipse the day before). If you wish to do a little more coordinated
action on a positive strategic front, I'm also planning on routinely sending
BPLF energy to Hong Kong, Tunisia, and Mexico, which show potential as "outposts of the BPLF”, and I wish to encourage their change
for the better. Furthermore, I am currently sending BPLF energy from that area
through the Red Sea and Suez
Canal, into the Mediterranean, and thence to the connected Black
Sea.
I have a simplified blogiography of posts related to this work here.
[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").

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

at 9 PM on Sunday, wherever you are, to meditate-clear 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.

- 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 ...

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice

Martin Luther King, Jr.
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.
Jane Elliott
The only thing necessary for the triumph of
evil is for good [people] to do nothing.
(based on
writing by) Edmund Burke
We didn't inherit the Earth from our
ancestors, we only borrowed it from our children
Antoine De Saint-Exupéry
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.
John F. Kennedy
