There were other lives along the way - a Union soldier in the US Civil War, a wife and mother in American wilderness of the 1700s (which included polyamory, and was a return to my old love of growing plants, a love that started in my lives as a shaman/shamaness in hunter-gatherer societies, and eased my transition into agricultural life - and manifests as a love of both the wild bush and nurturing plants now, not that I have much of either, sadly), a sailor on a submarine in the first world war which went down and didn't come back up, a life as a night fighter pilot, and now this life. There has been another theme in the last few centuries, and that is that, if you cannot be part of a good and effective group, it is better to go your own way. More can be done as part of an effective group, but many groups are not, and do massive damage to themselves, their members, and other people and places. Better to be solo, and limited in capacity to do good, than to do great harm. Of course, there is also the option of being effective as an individual, which many people do not even think of, and shows a complete lack of awareness of what each of us is capable of. (I've started work on a post showing the power of one person to influence matters, but am not satisfied with what I've written yet - and other materials are basically just platitudes, so it may be some time seeing the light of day.)
There is another aspect to this: karma.
I was in that situation in Britain, two millennia ago, because of what I had done earlier, in Egypt. What goes around, comes around.
Of course, that also applies to groups, and I have concerns about the current enthusiasms of some towards 'transhumanism'. That could potentially be good, but it could also potentially be bad, both in terms of what it does to society (e.g., see here), and the potential for abuse by criminals, materialists, etc. And that's without going into the lessons of Atlantis (whether the place existed or not, there are lessons in the myths Lobsang Rampa is probably the best source of information on that). Not one advocate for this that I have met, has had the personal and spiritual sophistication necessary to ensure transhumanism is safely implemented.
In the meantime, I have personal lessons to continue with, and my spiritual work to progress (alone, at the moment, since I don't know anyone with the interest and capability to work seriously on those goals), and things like dreams to sort out.
On that, one aspect of the dream didn't ring true: the impression that the sword was, surprisingly to me at the time, bronze. It was the typical gladius, not a ritual knife, but, last night, I had the impression that it was bronze. Human sacrifice had been banned a century earlier, but I know the Romans did kill prisoners of war. Maybe what was used wasn't a Roman sword. Ah well, a minor mystery to sort out - and I'll be able to recall clearly when I do eventually pass over, if I haven't sorted it out before then.

see here, 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
(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
for a few minutes at some time between 8 and 11 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.
- 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'.
- I mourn the desecration of the term 'Light Worker' by commercial interests, and the warping of the word 'Light' away from 'Clear Light' by the "(Fluffy) White Lighters".
- Presuming that everyone has, or wants, a smartphone is discriminatory, unspiritual, and downright stupid.
- 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.

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.

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.
