Post No. 770 – For Sunday evening’s meditation-clearing



Owing to exhaustion, stress, grief and ill health, I have cut back the amount of work I have done on this post this week (no divinations of elemental energy states), and may continue to cut back such work until I can finish healing / recovering (although that ultimately depends on me being able to make some significant lifestyle changes).
Also, please remember my call for help today in in Bendigo.
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 … and also here is interesting.) 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.
Finally, remember that many others are doing this type of work – for instance, the Lucis Trust's Triangles network (which has been running for many decades),   the Correllian Tradition's 'Spiritual War for Peace' (begun in 2014, and the website was recently updated to include many more activities), the Hope, Peace, Love and Prosperity Spell (also from the Correllian Tradition, in around 2007 or 2008),   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   also see here and here, and even commercial organisations are getting involved (for instance, see here). No doubt there are many others.
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 is an enormous need to clear nonBPLF energy – the thought forms, unattached energy and scars of the collective unconscious created by millennia of violence. This need includes rescuing those who have been trapped by that history, and healing the warped views, seemingly “inherent” biases, and other damage done by the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual violence committed on scales large and small in that timeframe;
   (c)  (not done this week) 
   (d)   flawed though it is, democracy is still the best hope the world has, in this day and age, for a “fair go” for people – but people need to stop being lazy, and hold their elected representatives to account (as a personal example, on a smaller scale, I’ve written to a few asking for Statutory Declarations that they would put their commitment to their electorate’s wellbeing ahead of that of any supporter of their political party –without response …);
   (e)   the stresses of modern lifestyles are not only killing people through physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health problems, it is stopping people having the LEISURE to think and reflect on their life and the world (I’m personally aiming to try to simplify my life as soon as I can);
   (f)   small steps along the way can count: the challenge is to know when they should be big, radical steps / changes of direction;
   (g)   be wary of chooks coming home to rest – as Australia is now experiencing with the problems in Bendigo (remember my call for help there today, please);
   (h)   we need to revisit our concepts of when children move into adulthood, and what defines that history, from the time we were gatherer-hunters will help, but the current idealistic naiveté towards children won’t (and will be actively limiting to the point of being harmful);
   (i)   accountability needs to be extended beyond those who clearly have power (politicians, media, police, etc) to those who have influence – such as busybodies. Power / influence without true, spiritual mature and balanced positive honour is wrong. The subtleties and depths of true BPLF accountability include accepting responsibility for the actions of those one works with, directs or recruits (which is exemplified by some good changes in Australian OHS laws over the last couple of decades, where employers have been forced to stop shirking such duties – and by the many who have responsibly taught about psychic / metaphysical matters to only the demonstrably deserving), and;
   (j)   balancing the potential effects of actions and reactions remains an incredibly difficult act – and will always be, no matter how far we evolve – individually, and as a planet;
   (k)   the problems around “zero tolerance” lie, in my opinion, around the bias of prejudiced views influencing one’s take on any given situation/event, and in how one implements it (collateral damage, in a sense – as with the USA’s TSA’s grope fests ( aka, “enhanced pat downs”). Nevertheless, there can be a useful caution in the principle of watching out for small things that could lead to more serious matters later, such as the concept that those who abuse animals as children are at greater risk of becoming violent criminals as adults;
   (l)   the immature who are violent and/or impatient and/or controlling as a result of their flaws must learn to SEE the truth;
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 Others inviolable against being used for indirect  psychic attack, all as is for the Highest Spiritual Good;
   with regard to democracy, freedom and governance:   the problems for politicians in having to deal with media, who cater for public tastes/desires;   increasing complaints to the Victorian ombudsman;   a former President of the UN General Assembly has been charged with corruption;   a Brazilian audit court has ruled that President Dilma Rousseff broke the law in managing last year's budget;   four months after taking office on an anti-corruption platform, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has announced his cabinet positions, taking on the problems of the oil industry, including corruption, himself;   the Secretary-General’s Special Representative in Haiti, Sandra Honoré, has told the Security Council that the current elections would be the last ones where the level of assistance provided by the UN Mission in the country would be necessary. She said that future elections should be administered by the Haitian authorities with targeted, limited technical and operational assistance from UN agencies and international partners;   “Somaliland’s hybrid system of tri-party democracy and traditional clan-based governance has enabled the consolidation of state-like authority, social and economic recovery and, above all, relative peace and security but now needs reform;   militant anti-Islamic protesters are threatening Victoria's proud history of embracing cultural diversity, Victoria's police chief has warned, on the eve of planned protests targeting mosques;   an assessment of whether or not the elections in Guinea will be free and fair;   concerns that my local state government has a corruption problem;    the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative in Côte d’Ivoire, Aïchatou Mindaoudou, has called for the electoral campaign to take place peacefully;

   with regard to human rights and discrimination (including associated violence / crime):   an example of the euphemisms which hide discrimination – and I can add to that the example of people saying “discrimination contributes to mental health problems”, which is a cop out from saying that bigots drive their victims to commit suicide (and also here, for what is referred to as suicide amongst the elderly);   investigations into disturbing abuse at a disability care facility;   sometimes it is better not to tell one’s boss about mental health issues;   a call for the World Bank to stop slighting human rights;   indigenous AFL player Adam Goodes has revealed that the support of some followers led him to return to finish the season, and a former AFL Chairperson has called on the AFL to renew its fight against racism (other codes overseas have done it: why not the AFL?);   modern day witch hunts;   a Muslim from Bangladesh has won the TV show “The Great British Bake Off”;
   with regard to crime, judicial matters and policing:   an exposé on extrajudicial  killings by police in Brazil;   good police work has cut off some sales of radioactive materials, but Russia may be an ongoing source of problems;   a Victorian police officer has been charged with murder;   the Secretary-General welcomes the decision by the United States Government to release approximately 6,000 prisoners from federal prisoners to ease prison overcrowding and provide a degree of redress for persons who received disproportionately long sentences for non-violent drug-related offences. He also welcomes proposals that aim to consider early release of additional prisoners who are serving sentences disproportionate to their crimes, many of which are drug-related;   Brazilian police have arrested 9 rogue officers;   Australia’s new “Border Force” has been unable to shut down a revenge page on facebook, threatening harm to “snitches”, being operated from an “immigration detention centre”;
   with regard to media and freedom of expression:   Palestinian journalist Hana Mahameed has continued working, despite being wounded in the neck and face;
   with regard to overcrowding and “modern” lifestyle issues:   one of the many problems caused by busybodies;   a link has allegedly been shown between environmental contamination in mining towns and poor performance in schools;   California has joined four other US states that allow terminally ill patients to legally end their lives with a doctor's supervision;   in a triumph for common sense, an attempt to patent a gene has been rejected;
   with regard to education:   an opinion piece that schools should teach about religion-  without preaching;
   with regard to the conflict in Afghanistan (noting that Afghanistan was once a peaceful and modern society, even allowing women in miniskirts, before the Russian invasion – see here):   the Secretary-General has condemned the airstrikes in Kunduz, Afghanistan, that resulted in the death and injury of medical workers and patients at a Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) hospital. MSF have been operating the only hospital in Kunduz under extremely difficult conditions, and he commended the courageous and dedicated staff of the organisation. Hospitals and medical personnel are explicitly protected under international humanitarian law, and the High Commissioner for Human Rights stressed that international and Afghan military planners have an obligation to respect and protect civilians at all times. See also here;   the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says that the road between Kunduz and Pul-i-Khumri in Afghanistan’s Baghlan province has been opened to traffic for the first time in a week of fighting, allowing people to leave Kunduz. The number of people fleeing from Kunduz cannot be ascertained, due to high insecurity. Aid organizations are responding to the needs of those displaced from Kunduz in Mazar-e-Sharif, Taloqan and Kabul, and are preparing for a further influx of displaced people into those areas;   a comprehensive analysis of the significance of the taking of Kunduz;   a partially unverified account of alleged Taliban atrocities in Kunduz;
   with regard to China:   the US navy is planning on challenging China’s territorial claims in the South China Seas;

   with regard to Russia:   see the links under Syria, many of which deal with Russia;
   with regard to Sudan and South Sudan:   aid agencies are concerned about fighting in South Sudan’s Unity State which has escalated over the past days, with clashes reported around Koch and Leer. During the week of 18th -25th September, the World Food programme (WFP), the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and partners delivered food, nutrition and shelter assistance to 13,000 people in Koch town and more than 6,700 people in Buaw town;   a patrol from the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) was stopped and its members physically assaulted by Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) soldiers. The UN Mission condemns such hostile acts and calls on the Government of South Sudan to investigate this incident immediately and hold those responsible accountable;
   with regard to the conflict in Syria:   an idiot Russian pilot risked being shot down by flying into Turkey – which could have escalate the conflict (and there has been another occurrence of this problem). NATO has rejected Russian explanations and will consider the matter further but is ready to defend Turkey, and it also appears the Russian build up includes troops and naval ships, attacks on rebel weapons depots, and claims of cruise missile attacks (including, accidentally no doubt, in Iran, and see also here) and reports that Russians are not too happy with Putin’s foray;   Arab states have a divergence of views on Russian involvement;   a review of Russian involvement in Syria;   a call for Syrian authorities to immediately reveal the whereabouts of Bassel Khartabil, a software developer and defender of freedom of expression;   failure to act in Syria risks stoking a "total war" in the Middle East, French President François Hollande has said in a landmark speech to the European Parliament alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel;   an assessment that Assad called in Russia over concerns over the “help” from Iran;   an assessment that Russian involvement in Syria does not bode well for Israel;   an assessment that “it was the bitter memory of Libya rather than more distant Russian military humiliations in Afghanistan, Kosovo or Chechnya that drove Putin’s current project to take the pilot’s seat in Syria”;   a warning from Qatar that Russia is creating problems for itself;   concerns over the religious element of Russia’s actions in Syria;   US President Obama has ended the unsuccessful programme to train rebels;
   with regard to Turkey:   Da’esh coin makers have been arrested;
   with regard to the conflict in eastern Ukraine:   Ukraine may be nearing energy independence;
   with regard to the war in Yemen:   the Special Envoy for Yemen, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, has welcomed the latest statements by the Houthis which reaffirm their acceptance of UN Security Council resolution 2216. The Houthis reiterated their commitment to the seven Muscat Principles that have been previously conveyed by the Houthis. This is an important step as resolution 2216, other Security Council resolutions, the Gulf Cooperation Council Initiative and the Outcomes of the National Dialogue have been at the core of the UN-led peace process - these three pillars will remain the basis for peace talks, which the Special Envoy has been working towards;   an assessment that the war in Yemen could yet turn out to be more significant than conflicts elsewhere;
   with regard to the natural and other catastrophes:   a typhoon in China has killed at least 19 people;   children in remote areas of Papua New Guinea are dying as a result of food shortages caused by frost and worsening drought;   Hurricane Joaquin has brought heavy rains and winds to parts of the Bahamas after it was reclassified up to the second strongest type of storm;   At least ten million of the poorest people face food insecurity in 2015 and 2016 due to extreme weather conditions and the onset of El Niño, Oxfam has reported;   thousands have been evacuated in japan as Typhoon Choi-wan approaches;   a landslide week ago in Guatemala has killed dozens of people;
Also from the Daily Briefings of the United Nations (UN) (and other sources):
   the UN Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) says that the security situation in Bangui is improving but remains tense;
   a high-level discussion on World Habitat Day, the Secretary-General said that the 17 Sustainable Development Goals reflect an international consensus that sustainable urbanisation can play a transformational role;
   the Secretary-General has condemned the killing of a peacekeeper from the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA);
   Said Djinnit, Special Envoy for the Great Lakes, has told the UN Security Council that the momentum toward-lasting peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo appeared to be fading, due to the lack of progress in the neutralization of the FDLR and the challenges related to the electoral process – see also here;
   the Secretary-General’s Special Representative in Mali, Mongi Hamdi, has told the Security Council that the difficulties of these last two months in the country show the importance of determined international engagement to prevent escalation and bring the peace process back on track;
   following a new meeting of its Emergency Committee, World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General, Margaret Chan, declared that the outbreak continues to constitute a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, as two active chains of Ebola transmission continue, one in Guinea and one in Sierra Leone;
   in light of the recent accusations announced by US federal authorities, the Secretary-General has requested that the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) launch an audit of the interaction between the United Nations and the Global Sustainability Foundation and the Sun Kian Ip Group, and the use of any funds received from these two entities;
   The High Commissioner for Human Rights has wrapped up a visit to Mexico, where he met with the President, Foreign Minister, the head of the federal police, and others. Speaking to the press, the High Commissioner said that progress has been made towards building a solid human rights framework, but many of the people he spoke to have painted a very bleak and consistent picture of a society wracked by high levels of insecurity, disappearances and killings, continuing harassment of human rights defenders and journalists, violence against women, and terrible abuses of migrants and refugees transiting the country on their way to the United States. He suggested that the Attorney-General’s offices across the country be strengthened to ensure the proper investigation of human rights violations, as well as to strengthen the capacity of the police to carry out their public security functions in line with human rights obligations, and that a time frame be adopted for the withdrawal of the military from public security functions;
From other sites (note that articles from these sites may have already been provided):
   Human Rights Watch also has:   an article on Europe’s failure to respond to hate crimes;   Indonesia has arrested two women suspected of being lesbians;   a call for facebook to stop putting people such as LGBT activists at risk;   Burma has enacted laws which promote bigotry - and see here for the effects of the election on the Rohingya;
   the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) also has:
  an occasional report, aiming to give background, offer analysis, track international response and suggest necessary action, for five nations in immediate crisis (“mass atrocities are occurring and urgent action is needed”: Syria, Iraq, Sudan, South Sudan and Nigeria), one nation at imminent risk (“the situation is reaching a critical threshold and the risk of mass atrocity crimes occurring in the immediate future is very high if effective preventive action is not taken”: Yemen), and five nations for which there is serious concern (“significant risk of occurrence, or recurrence, of mass atrocity crimes within the foreseeable future if effective action is not taken”: Burundi, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Burma/Myanmar, and Libya);
   Recommended actions are:
   in Iraq (I will work through other nations from the report in coming weeks) problems are attributed to Da’esh and some of those responding to Da’esh, and marginalisation:
      continue to support the Iraqi government, which must address sectarianism;
      international supporters must meet their human rights obligations and duties – including ensuring those they work with or direct do so as well (there have been some good changes on this principle of accountability in Australian OHS laws over the last couple of decades, where employers have been forced to stop shirking such duties);
      From an energetic point of view, the subtleties and depths of true BPLF accountability must be accepted by those wanting to help (anywhere, not just here), and the immature who are violent and/or impatient and/or controlling as a result of their flaws must learn to SEE the truth;
   the US-based and -centric “War on the Rocks” blog (which I have found may also have other articles that I have concerns with - and thus do not provide links to, unless I want you to think … :) ) also has:   a critique of the US-China affirmation;   a review of the current appalling, unacceptable and absurd situation with regard to prosecuting sexual assault in the US military;
   the Justice in Conflict blog has:   “peace vs. justice” - and see also here;
   the Political Violence at a Glance blog has:   a critique of the differences between the US Army and US Marine Corps with respect to integration of women, including valid criticism of the latter;
   the International Crisis Group has:   an overview of Kyrgyzstan;
   the Middle East Eye also has:
 - Palestinian President Abbas has accused Israel of escalating tensions;   the Palestinian minority in Israel are concerned by Israel’s police head’s history as a hard line settler and an intelligence interrogator;   an analysis suggesting that a 3rd intifada has been increasingly likely over the last few years – see also here, and here, which suggests that it has already begun;   stabbings have wounded Israelis, and Israeli mayors have called on Israelis to carry guns for “self protection” (which creates a risk of the guns being use against those who carry them, and for other purposes);
 - fears that there may be a spate of executions of young activists in Saudi Arabia;   an assessment that the death toll from the Hajj tragedy could actually be far higher than official figures;   gunfire in a Shia town eastern Saudi;   a critique of Saudi impunity;
 - the increasing social divide in Iran;   an opinion piece that Iran may seek some form of revenge against Saudi Arabia over the recent Hajj disaster;
 - fresh protests in Lebanon;
 - division, dissent and possible abuse of power in Algeria;
Also on West Asia / the Middle East:
- the UN Secretary-General is very concerned by the ongoing situation in Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank. Over the weekend, he condemned in the strongest terms the attacks that took place on Saturday in the Old City of Jerusalem, including the killing of two members of an Israeli family and injuries to Israelis and Palestinians in subsequent incidents in various neighbourhoods in Jerusalem. He is deeply concerned that these latest incidents signal a dangerous slide towards escalation, and is deeply troubled by statements from Palestinian militant groups, including Hamas, praising such attacks, and he urges all leaders to condemn violence and incitement, maintain calm and to do everything they can to avoid further escalation. The Secretary-General firmly believes that a just and lasting solution to the conflict can be achieved only through pursuing a negotiated two-state solution. Later in the week, the Secretary-General said that he is profoundly alarmed by the growing number of deadly incidents in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, with the latest violence being a worrisome sign of violence potentially spiralling out of control. He does not believe that the demolition of Palestinian houses or the construction of new Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian land will do anything other than inflame tensions still further, and the escalation of violent incidents underscores the need for urgent action by both sides. The Secretary-General welcomes the commitment by Palestinian and Israeli officials to work together to curb the violence, including through continued security cooperation. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, has also said that he was extremely concerned about increased tensions and violence in Occupied Palestinian Territory, and stressed that calm can only be restored on the basis of respect for human rights;
 - Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has stupidly banned any further negotiations between Iran and the United States, putting the brakes on moderates hoping to end Iran's isolation after reaching a nuclear deal with world powers in July;
 - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has banned all Cabinet ministers and lawmakers from visiting a sensitive holy site in Jerusalem, fearing any high-profile spectacle could further inflame tensions;
   The Hindu also has:   concerns that the current government is reactionary, and promoting Brahman values;   “guns outlive their owners”;   a senior US administration official has claimed that India, Pakistan, North Korea and Iran are expanding their nuclear weapons capabilities;  the dispute between India and Nepal is continuing;   the Sri Lankan government has begun “informal discussions” with the Tamil National Alliance and other parties on a political solution to the ethnic conflict, according to Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe;   over 60 years after an eight-judge Bench declared that Right to Privacy is not a fundamental right, the Supreme Court has decided to re-examine the issue in the light of raging controversy that the Aadhaar card scheme is an invasion into citizen's privacy;   an editorial on the worsening India-Pakistan relationship, while Former Foreign Minister of Pakistan Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri is optimistic;   concerns over increasing discrimination against minority religions;   the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court plans to open an investigation into possible crimes committed during the 2008 conflict between Russia and Georgia, bringing Russia into the court's sights for the first time;
  the BBC also has:   a review of the Iran-Iraq war last century, and its ongoing legacy;   a review of the illegality of bombing medical facilities during war;
   Spiegel International also has:   an interview with Jane Goodall, with the heading “Even Chimps Understand Sustainability”;
and from a range of other sites:
   the IMF says time is right for a carbon tax;
   more people in Australia die of suicide, than road deaths;
   Médecins Sans Frontières has criticised the Trans Pacific Partnership;
   “Svetlana Alexievich, a Belarussian journalist  known for deeply researched works about female Russian soldiers in World War II and the aftermath of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, has won the Nobel prize in literature "for her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time," “ (my emphasis);
   advertising does cause misuse of alcohol;
   social media and smartphones have been bringing transparency to issues such as sexual misconduct, and thus helping to get those problems better addressed;
   an assessment of the future of the indigenous tent embassy in Canberra;
   a community in Australia’s Kimberley region has refused the federal government's plan to trial its Healthy Welfare Card;
   consideration of what a Stolen Generations Reparations Tribunal would look like;
   a release by the Parliament of World Religions on emerging leaders;
   the Nobel Peace Prize for 2015 is to be awarded to the Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet for its decisive contribution to the building of a pluralistic democracy in Tunisia in the wake of the Jasmine Revolution of 2011;

[2] Please 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").
[3] I apologise for the formatting: it seems Blogger is no longer as WYSIWYG as it used to be, and there are a lot of unwanted changes to layout made upon publishing, so I often have to edit it immediately after publishing to get the format as close to what I want as possible.
