This week I have split the post into two,
because of its length:
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. If you don't like what I am suggesting here,
but want to be of service, there are many opportunities for you.
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) viewing the overall emotional state of the world from an elemental point of view, there seems to be some beneficial change happening in a few areas: more BPLF Water would help this;(d) there is a need for detachment and objectivity when assessing our lives, how we live, the world, and ideas and suggestions – it is a combination of “not speaking in anger” and “not signing contracts when drunk or on drugs”, and modern lifestyles and pressures can do this and more;(e) accountability for those who have political, social, legal or other power – people such as oligarchs, politicians, media and journalists, police, members of the judiciary, and community leaders is crucial;(f) democracy must be genuine if it is to be anything but a sham – and things like justice and social equity, education, accessibility, information and freedom from intimidation / coercion / blackmail / fear are all part of that;(g) there times when BPLF forcefulness is needed: in all such circumstances, whether military exchanges between nations or disciplining a child, proportionality and appropriateness are required;(h) beware of the blindness of cultural ubiquity;(i) like fire to the physical, emotions to the soul make a good servant, and a bad master;
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).
- the UN Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) reports continuing tensions in Bangui;
- the Humanitarian Coordinator in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mamadou Diallo, has strongly condemned the abduction of 14 aid workers working for a Congolese non-government organisation (NGO);
- the Secretary-General has expressed his deep concern at the continuous resort to hate speech, the incitement of communal animosities and the abuse of religion for political purposes resorted to by extreme elements among the majority community in Burma;
- this week saw the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists;
- the Secretary-General has said, at a meeting on the revitalization of the General Assembly, that the Assembly must now draw larger lessons from the very serious allegations against the President of the 68th session, John Ashe, and act with resolve;
- Human Rights Watch also has: US President Barack Obama’s veto of a defence spending bill on 22nd October, 2015, signals a renewed effort to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility; a reply to Azerbaijani apologists; student protestors in Burma are aware of the history of dissent in Burma; a call for Jordan to investigate allegation of torture; an article on an emerging capacity crisis at the International Criminal Court (ICC); a call for Iran to release a writer, who is being held despite the end of his prison sentence; a call for nations to take concrete steps to strengthen international law governing incendiary weapons (remember the Dresden and Tokyo firebombing air raids? We’ve had the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons since then, but, as the article states, that has loopholes – and there are phosphorus munitions, napalm and the Molotov cocktail); a call for Moroccan authorities to either free all 21 prisoners serving long terms stemming from the 2010 Western Sahara protests that turned deadly, or grant them a fair trial before a civilian court, and to also investigate all torture allegations; a call for the Angolan government to promptly release 15 rights activists arrested in June 2015 for meeting to discuss books on peaceful resistance, and to drop the charges against them;
- the Global
Centre for the Responsibility to Protect
(R2P) also has:
the UN Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, and the UN Special Adviser on the Responsibility to Protect have called on the Government of Burma to take all possible measures to ensure that the upcoming elections on 8th November are held in a peaceful environment;
a link to an article on Indonesia’s largely ignored “genocide” in 1965;
- 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 from the occasional report for the nation of Nigeria, where the regional threat Boko Haram have killed thousands and caused 2 million refugees, with particular viciousness towards women – all as the military is accused of inadequate protection, including deserting their posts when attacked, and a regional force with good funding has now been deployed (I will work through other nations from the report in coming weeks) are:
- continued regional cooperation is essential;
- families of those in Boko Haram, and former captives need to be adequately protected and carefully reintegrated into Nigerian society (including easing abortion restrictions for women and girls sexually abused by Boko Haram), and internal refugees helped – which will require assistance from the United Nations, African Union, Economic Community of West African States, Economic Community of Central African States and states with significant bilateral ties to Nigeria;
- With international support, the government needs to urgently undertake security sector reform to ensure that the army and police are trained to protect civilians and prevent mass atrocities while respecting human rights;
- the government should conduct thorough investigations into all abuses, including alleged extrajudicial killings committed by the military, and ensure captured Boko Haram leaders should be held accountable for crimes against humanity, which are being documented by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights;
- From an energetic point of view, this is a situation where Tiw, also known as Tyr, is needed – both for the social justice aspects, and also to stiffen the backbone of those charged with protection roles.
- 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: an assessment of the complex situation Germany finds itself in, including the risks of nuclear war;
- the Justice in Conflict blog has: pro-USA former chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court Luis Moreno-Ocampo has strongly criticised the USA on its record and attitudes towards the ICC and international justice, despite the improvements under President Obama; after ten years of international dithering on Sudanese President Bashir’s war crimes in Darfur, including the blatant disregard of arrest warrants, and flawed management of roles, representation and expectations of the victims’, half of his victims have withdrawn from the ICC trial;
- the Political Violence at a Glance blog has: bias in the transfer of research and expertise between higher education and the policy world in the area of global affairs;
- the Middle East Eyealso has:
- UK police have been asked to pursue a suspected war criminal in Egyptian President Sisi’s entourage, as others try to have the visit cancelled, the UK’s Labour Party leader has called for UK arms export suspensions until 'democratic and civil rights are restored' in Egypt, and says the visit threatens the UK’s national security, questions are raised about who benefits from business deals, Sisi now says the embattled Muslim Brotherhood he vowed to wipe out are "part of Egypt”, and an Egyptian refugee, forced to flee to the UK after a death sentence, expresses her shock at the visit;
- Iran has arrested two pro-reform journalists, and a Lebanese-America accused of having “intelligence ties”; a review of the recent decades of conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran, slanted in slightly different terms to those normally used;
- Tunisia's governing party is in crisis after violence between opposing factions led to cancellation of a meeting of its founding body (this is a massive setback and disappointment for this nation, which has been a shining light in northern Africa in recent years);
- women’s rights are consistently being overlooked in Palestine; a TEDx event has been held in Gaza;

- The Hindu also has: the opposition Congress party has held a street march protest against the climate of growing intolerance; fears that India is moving towards a Hindu religious autocracy; former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has deplored “blatant violation” of the right to freedom of thought by “some violent extremist groups” and said that it was an “assault on the nation”; Moody’s Analytics has denied that its report expressing concern over what it called the belligerent provocation of various Indian minorities, warning that India risks losing domestic and global credibility, was the personal opinion of an analyst employed with it; WikiLeaks has stated that WikiLeaks4India was using its name without its permission to create communal tension in India; an Uber driver has been sentenced to life imprisonment for rape, which has been welcomed by the victim’s family; an editorial on the need for better legislation dealing with rape and its effects; 3 Maoists have been killed and 8 arrested; security has been increased across Kashmir ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit, where Kashmiris are unhappy with poor flood relief and police harassment of youth; an assessment of the Congress party in opposition US President Obama is reported to believe that commerce is strategic; Greenpeace India has had its registration as a society withdrawn in one state; 40% of children in Kolkata slums are yet to be immunised; Nepalese Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli has criticised India for raking up human rights abuses in the Himalayan nation, and demanded to know how India could be ignorant that the UN was involved in Nepal’s peace process; Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has asserted that war with India was not an option;
- Also on the Indian sub-continent:
- a call for the release of a folk singer, arrested to prevent criticism of a government leader – see also this editorial on this misuse of sedition law;
- the “pink flamingo” (a term to describe “predictable but ignored events that can yield disastrous results”) of nuclear war between India and Pakistan – which has the fastest growing nuclear weapons programme in the world, and has failed to renounce the first use of such weapons;
- India’s Tinkle comics have introduced a superheroine;
- the BBC also has: Taiwan says its president is to meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Singapore on Saturday, in what would be a first meeting between leaders of the countries; fears for a detained Iranian nuclear scientist;
- Spiegel International also has: Germany’s growing problem with hate;
and from a range of other sites:
- villagers in Indonesia have taken matters into their own hands, as the government attempts to stamp out discussion, and given victims of the 1965 massacres proper, Hindu cremations to end paranormal events;
- Pope Francis has departed from his prepared address to a group of visiting Salvadorans to deliver unusually pointed remarks about the past detractors of Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar Romero, slain by a right-wing death squad in 1980 and recently beatified as a martyr for his defence of the poor made him an icon for many Roman Catholics in Latin America;
- on the other hand, Pope Francis got this canonisation wrong (incidentally, why are connections always expressed in terms of “to land”? I feel the same connection, but to water);
- fixing health systems after conflict;
- an article on why plain packaging for tobacco products didn’t occur in the UK, from George Monbiot: “Nanny state, health police, red tape, Big Government: these terms have been devised or popularised by corporate front groups … The front groups campaign not only against specific regulations, but also against the very principle of the democratic restraint of business.” … “free market think tanks … Their purpose, I believe, is to invest corporate lobbying with authority” … “Libertarianism in the hands of these people is a racket. All those noble sentiments about individual liberty, limited government and economic freedom are nothing but a smokescreen, a disguised form of corporate advertising”;
- a cultural dance group based in Burnie, Tasmania is breaking down barriers with joyous Filipino dance and sealing friendships with their amazing food;

- white working class Americans in the southern states are struggling to survive - which I can relate to, and is claimed to explain the support there for Trump;
- an article on black Millennials;
- a Japanese woman, working for a low key Japanese organisation, teaching Sudanese how to avoid mines;
- religious - not the same as spiritual, as "religious" is based on neochristianity and Islam, not other faiths, so the conclusion is limited - kids are meaner than secular kids;
[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.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
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.
The real dividing line is not between
Christianity and Islam, Sunni and Shia, East and West. It is between people who
believe in coexistence, and those who don’t.
- If your “gut” (your instinct/intuition) is telling you something is wrong, but logic and the available evidence is saying otherwise, the proper conclusion to draw is that you need better, more personally credible evidence. Your “gut” could be wrong, right, or missing the nuances / “shades of grey” . So could the available evidence.
- All of the above - and this blog - could be wrong, or subject to context, perspective, or state of spiritual evolution ...
