For everyone’s convenience, I’ve shifted the reminders / explanations about
Sunday’s meditation-clearing
to this
post. I have a simplified blogiography of posts related to this work here,
a list of themes I have identified here,
and my changing the personality of oppressors post, which I am contemplating
expanding to include some key people to work on, is here.
(Also, see here for some
investigation into evidence of the effectiveness of this type of work, which
shows variability [and mentions causes] and cycles in the
energetic/consciousness response.) A range of information on emotions is here,
and suggestions on how to work with emotions is here.
The purpose of posting these news links is not only to inform: it is
also to stimulate a connection to nonBPLF units that
need to be cleared and BPLF units 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!
… including yourself.
Also, in the same way that activists used to argue that “the personal
is political”, the energies we use and manifest in our daily lives contribute
to the larger soup of energies that influence world events. If you want to, for
example, improve the communication of nations, improve yours. To help stop
abuses of power, be always ethical in your conduct. Want peace? Then work in an
informed, understanding, intelligent and nuanced
way for peace in yourself and your life.
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) based
on my interpretation of information here and here with Saturn in Sagittarius contributing to
finding an authentic balance (until 20th December, 2017), Uranus in
Aries contributing to fresh and possibly radical starts (until some date
in the Year 2018), and Pluto in Capricorn contributing to a transformation
of power and business (and careers) (until some date in the Year 2024), conditions
are ripe for a change for the better in world politics;
(b) there remains an enormous need to clear
nonBPLF energy – the thought forms, unattached energy and scars of the
collective unconscious created by millennia of violence, including rescuing
those who have been trapped by that history, and to heal the warped views, seemingly
inherent biases and other damage done;
(c) viewing
the overall emotional state of the world from an elemental point
of view, the need for a more nuanced view by those in conflict situations, and
the need for more responsibility around the exercise of power, suggests the
world needs more Air and Æther;
(d) continuing to talk, and to accept the need
for communication, remains a high priority for achieving a true and lasting
peace throughout the world;
(e) abuses
of power continue to plague the world, on all scales – small, medium and big;
News and other matters from this week include
the following (opportunities/good
news are shown in green; comments are 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 [1] Leaders be kept BPLF safe, including
keeping them undetectable to the nonBPLF and keeping all their Significant

has collapsed; Thai police have found and deactivated
a bomb; Chad has executed
ten members of Boko Haram; Nigeria's
intelligence agency has warned
of a possible attack on the airport in its capital after disrupting what it

in another incident in the Mediterranean;

lifestyle issues: more
attacks on privacy; a nice story of
a stranger’s kindness; being oneself; attempting to choose the sex of IVF children
is sexism
(and, if the children are trans or gender diverse, not possible);
with regard to education: many higher education students are studying
for jobs that will not
exist; a questioning
of the biases and aims of higher education in South Africa;
with regard to the conflict in Iraq (noting that Iraq was once a peaceful and

crisis in Yemen’s Taiz and Hodeida governorates, the World Health Organization

2015, and for leaders on all sides of the debate over increased autonomy to
refrain from further violence; environmentalists
and indigenous activists in Ecuador are under attack;

small part of the Iran nuclear deal, which has caused problems; a critique of
