Additional commentary on violent extremism
Following Cameroon’s acceptance of the use of witchcraft to fight
terrorism (which
is significant culturally, given the enormous hatred shown towards witches
there – there was apparently even a welcoming message from a Nigerian
neochristian), some US witches have finally
woken up and joined the struggle
(which other US witches have been doing for some time – e.g., see here). The facebook page
includes some information on (claimed)
local Deities, which is useful to know
(see below), but the lack of awareness
of what others are doing is disappointing – and it is … “interesting” to see
people working through issues of working
(e.g., that hate cannot destroy hate) that I did quite some time ago.
To Boko Haram:I call upon Ndichie, the ancestors of your peoples,
I call upon Ala, Ájá-ànà, the earth...
I call upon Ala, Ájá-ànà, the giver of morals...
I call upon Ala, Ájá-ànà, the embodiment of all legal sanctions.That your crimes of theft, of murder, of rape, be known and be judged;
That your fertility be ended;
That your resources be dried up and blown away.I call upon Amadioha hear the and inspire the collective will of the people:
May the thunder and lightning of divine justice and wrath against taboos and crimes swiftly find them and strike them down’
May Mmuo of water and earth give them no sanctuary or succour;
May Mmuo of air and fire give them no sanctuary or succour.Dibia! Hear my words! Carry them to the ancestral gods of the peoples of West Africa, where these thieving warmongers who worship foreign gods have taken hold. Bring down the ones called Boko Haram, and return the peoples to their rightful places!

commentary on overcrowding and “modern” lifestyle issues
- In the main post, I had: “from the category of “science bumps into common sense”, a report that most obese Australians eat for emotional reasons” … so that would be things like soul destroying modern lifestyles, the unrelenting grind of the nine-to-lifer (sorry, “nine-to-fifer”, which is radio-speak for 9 to 5), the terrible materialism, etc, etc, etc. If they recognise that, we might finally get the “health profession” to move away from a stupid set of actions and blame that is their equivalent of the “war on drugs” stupidity to measures that are actually, demonstrably (unlike the health profession’s “war on obesity”, which actively creates problems) beneficial re obesity – which will, as harm-reduction measures rather than punitive approaches to drugs are to many other people (i.e., inexplicable, as they have no apparent direct connection, in their eyes ), may not SEEM to the health “professional” to be directly related … things like a less dollar-driven, overcrowded society where things like wanting to own one’s own home cause immense stress that doctors, who are mostly well off, do not seem to comprehend. We might even get the health profession to stop getting people to put their lives at risk by chopping and changing appointments and making utterly unrealistic expectations of people;
- A horse carriage operator has shown
himself to be a violent,
racist thug who should (a) be charged, and (b) NEVER be allowed to have
charge of horses … what a pity no one was there who could recognise and
strongly clear nonBPM units – the frustration and fear at seeing
his means of earning an income supported, possibly the shock of having his
ability to care for and understand horses
(i.e., his disagreement with what the protestors were claiming), his
embarrassment at being public ridiculed, and all the other matters underlying
his anger, which mounted quickly into a raging fury, and led to him threatening
that passer-by who – quite rightly – asked him to tone down his language. He is
a serial offender, according to the article, having behaved aggressively (was that threatening behaviour or assault,
I wonder) towards cyclists.
He didn’t do any of that towards the protestors this time, choosing instead a single person who was smaller than him. Why? Is there an element of recognition of truth or wrongdoing somewhere that can be used and worked on?
This is a situation where just sending positive energy towards him would clearly have been useless. It is dangerously naïve to assume that positive energy will elicit a positive response under all circumstances in the short term. (Long term: yes, it will, but that isn’t what is being dealt with here.) The problem with this suggestions is that one needs to have the strength that comes from being well-practised and self-disciplined to do this …
Finally: did the protestors know they could provoke this sort of reaction, or were they stupid? - This is perfect example of technology gone stupid - a high tech, lots of embedded GHG approach to a problem than can easily be fixed in a backyard with a traditional compost heap;

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.
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 ...
