Post No. 836 – For Sunday evening’s meditation-clearing (minimalist version)



While I am trying to survive the chaos of moving and trying to help my sister resolve some issues around my father’s estate, I can only do a very cut back version of this post. My profound apologies.
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 and other world leaders post 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. This copy of a speech to one of the Parliament of World Religions also has excellent, helpful insights on generational transmission of harm, the cost of war, and ways to heal our hearts.
The purpose of posting these news links is not only to inform: it is also to stimulate a connection to nonBPM units that need to be cleared and BPM 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, it is absolutely VITAL that this psychic / metaphysical / spiritual work be performed non-violently and as is for the Highest Spiritual Good – which is part of being BPM – on all levels and in all ways. Always remember (see here): Do you fight to change things, or to punish? See also here, here, here, here, here, and my comments about “authentic presence” in this post.
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);   the “Network of Light”  meditations;   and   also see here and here – even commercial organisations are getting involved (for instance, see here). No doubt there are many others, so, if you don't like what I am suggesting here, but want to be of service, there are many other opportunities for you.
(Please note that I now specifically have a role for (absent) healers on Saturdays, as explained in the Psychic Weather Report posts. Anyone who wishes to be protector has a role every day :) , including – perhaps particularly - the first permanent issue I list below. At all times, on all levels and in ways, BOTH must ALWAYS be BPM in the way they perform such roles.)
Now, if I am ever late getting my Psychic Weather Report up any week, the default plan is to build up energy in the “Shield of Hope” on Sunday, send energy to West Asia / the Middle East on Monday, and then extend that to include Europe on Tuesday, the USA on Wednesday, East and South East Asia on Thursday and Africa on Friday.
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 nonBPM 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, this week we need more of the compassion, empathy, love and peace of BPM Water;
(d)   leaders need to be connected to the people they lead; GREAT leaders need to be able to get their people to follow them to a greater state of being – as Gandhi, Mandela and JFK did;
(e)   campaigns against violent extremism are going well enough: now, the world needs to start making as much effort to help the victims of the extremists;
(f)   all actions against violent extremists need to be weighed against their costs: if they create a worse society, they risk doing the work of the violent extremists, and should be reconsidered;
(g)  one needs to always remember and consider the great non-physical forces which may behind physical events – forces such a specific Deities, or the energies such Deities have brought into this world, such as the love of Aset, the courage and social justice of Týr, or the integration and reminder of peace of Gyhldeptis;
(h)   may the compassion and empathy of Aset guide the world’s response to refugees;
(i)   may the world learn to include all, and give all equal opportunity and security and NOT insist that all live the same way;
I also take this opportunity to repeat that it is absolutely VITAL that this psychic / metaphysical / spiritual work be performed non-violently and as is for the Highest Spiritual Good – which is part of being BPM – on all levels and in all ways. Always remember (see here): Do you fight to change things, or to punish? See also here, here, here, here, here, and my comments about “authentic presence” in this post.
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 BPM [1] Leaders be kept BPM safe, including keeping them undetectable to the nonBPM and keeping all their Significant Others inviolable against being used for indirect  psychic attack, and may they have all the BPM opportunities and assistance (so-called “good luck”) for them to be BPM effective at influencing the world’s direction, development and unfoldment, all as is for the Highest Spiritual Good;
  • Permanent issue: may all humans recognise, irrespective of the appearance of difference, the essential shared humanness of other people, the inherent resilience, the dynamic power, the strength of BPM collaboration, and the opportunities of having a diverse, inclusive and welcoming population, and may all people choose fairness, when such decisions are before them;
  • Permanent issue: may all humans choose to live modestly – to forgo outdoing others, or trying to have more than they need - for the sake of an easier, more manageable life, if they cannot do it for the sake of the planet;
  • With regard to democracy, freedom and governance (e.g., here and here):
       Crazy Don (aka Trump) has evoked memories of fascist rallies with pledges to him at rallies, including the right arms up in the air (this keeps getting worse and worse … as they say in “Star Wars”, “I have a bad feeling about this”, but I will keep trying to work for a good outcome  with a focus on what happens when people go into the voting booths) - see also here, for concerns about the damage Crazy Don could do if elected, here, for a good analysis of his misogynistic attitudes towards women, here, for the use of humour against his Islamophobia, here, for an analysis of Crazy Don’s gut connection to some voters and why logic won’t sever that, and here, for a critique of the candidates “fantasy” views of West Asia / the Middle East;   a cautionary note that Europe could also go the way the USA is, with a local version of Crazy Don, as an opinion piece notes that Germany’s politics are now less stable;
       the dangers of “exploding politics” and the need for a “hybrid” approach;   the need to address “reckless banking” has been shown here and here;   the crisis in South Africa;   a critique of economic modelling;   the growing successes of Brazil’s anti-corruption programme;   an outcry against corruption in South Africa;
       Australia’s notorious Attorney-General commissioned a review into encroachment on “traditional freedoms” which has not given him what he wanted, but may open the way for more litigation;  a critique of the worldview of the Defence White Paper, which ignored the existence of the UN;   an austerity of hope in Australia’s political situation;
       a follow up to a recent article on Australia’s poor engagement with its former colony of Papua New Guinea;
  • With regard to violent extremism (aka, terrorism - e.g., Da’esh) (and, incidentally, I consider ALL people advocating hate or discrimination in response to violent extremism to actively be doing the work of violent extremists. This PARTICULARLY includes those cretins [including in the media, and Amnesty International] who use the acronym ISIS (see also here), which is actually the Greek name of the Egyptian Goddess Aset – and others (see also here) - and actively perpetuates the patriarchal and sacrilegious evil that terrorists are trying to accomplish in this world – which will be countered, in part, by the sort of approach advocated by “Cure Violence”, and, in part, by addressing real and perceived disempowerment and acknowledging the variety in what provides genuine, BPM fulfilment as a counter to fanaticism as a source of meaning. I also am inclined, personally, to include here the last two millennia of neochristian and colonialist social engineering, which has led to suppression of women, child abuse, the Crusades, the Inquisition, etc, as violent extremism, but that would take too much explaining):
       terrorist attacks have occurred in Iraq (a summary of two weeks of attacks here), Iraq (chemical attack), possibly Honduras, Tunisia, Somalia, Turkey, (incidents in Palestine and Israel, listed below), may be being planned or developing in Morocco, prevention has or may have occurred just off Somalia, and in ;   the US has claimed that it has killed 150 Somali “militants”;   concerns over the resilience of terrorists in Somalia, where African Union forces must take the lead – see here for an assessment of “sort power” options;   the World Food Programme has said that hunger and malnutrition are on the rise in areas of Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Niger affected by the Boko Haram crisis, and more than 5.6 million people do not have enough to eat (UN daily briefing) – see also here;   a priest of Congolese origin has resigned in southern Germany after getting death threats and racist abuse;   an article on terrorists’ hypocritical use of drugs;   the USA is concerned about the rate at which precision weapons are being used against terrorists, and whether or not they can be replenished;   France has moved to compel telecommunications companies to help investigators decrypt devices;   an investigation shows a teenager killed by police had snapped under pressure from his parents and ASIO;   a review of successes against terrorists in Nigeria;   former violent extremists are working to stop others making the same mistakes they did;   a review of the misperceptions around home-grown terrorism in the USA (the main threat is not religious);   terrorists in Iraq had planned mustard gas attacks – which has led to some specific raids;   a call for Pakistan to be more decisive against terrorists;   an intelligence break through against terrorists;   a US court has found that Syria aided in terrorist attacks in Jordan, and in the rise of terrorist groups – they also shaped and then released a terrorist, one of many, at the start of the civil war to “prove” that the rebels were terrorists;   a hotline has been launched for anyone in Canada experiencing Islamophobic hate crimes;
       it seems to me that the nonphysical (i.e., psychic) forces behind the terrorist group Da’esh have been particularly successful in countering the influence of the great Egyptian Goddess Aset. Not only have they imposed a stereotypical teenage male (and the vast majority of teenage males I know are FAR better than the stereotype) level of fantasy on parts of the region, rather than the mature and caring influence of Aset, they have even wiped her name out of public record.
    This is similar to the sorts of behaviours done in Egyptian times – for instance,
    Set was associated with foreigners, so, after foreign invaders (the Hyksos) occupied Egypt and adopted Set as their Deity, when they were driven out the resultant xenophobia led to complete banishment of Set, with his name and image being removed from places all over Egypt. Prior to that, Set had been more neutral – even being credited with overcoming the “serpent of chaos”, Apep. At some stage, however, Set was blamed for killing Osiris, and Set and Heru (Horus) wound up in conflict. Post the banishment of the Hyksos, however, some Pharoahs had strong ties to Set.
    As far as the Hyksos are concerned, nobody seems to be entirely sure who they were, but it seems reasonable that they were mostly
    Canaanites, also known as Phoenicians, some of whom became the Carthaginians who caused the Ancient Roman Kingdom (it became an Empire several centuries later) so much grief, others of whom later became the Israelites, and that in Egypt, as elsewhere, they initially came as peaceful traders.
    Are these events, viewed spiritually, an attempt at revenge by the forces of Set  or perhaps those of the Hyksos, or their original Deity,
    Ba’al? Do Wadjet and Nehkbet or some other Deities need to become more overt in their activity?
    Others have thought about this as well. Here's something John Beckett came up with a few years ago:
          As Horus has defeated Set, so do the forces of Ma’at defeat the evildoers.        Naked are they driven into the desert;       they have no water, they have no bread,       the asp bites and the scorpion stings.       Sekhmet sees their great evil – the Eye of Ra devours them.       They have no Book of Going Forth, for their lies are seen by the Gods.       Their hearts are weighed and found heavy,       for they hold a multitude of sins       and are stained with the blood of the innocent.       Osiris casts their hearts to Ammit       and their souls are consumed.       Their feet are turned backwards, their mouths are not opened.       Never again will they walk among the living.       Never will they ascend to the Duat.       Their children will not know their fathers       and their names are forgotten.       The holy name of Isis is purified       and Auset is praised in the old lands and in the new.
       30 years ago, there was a home-grown terrorist attack (by criminals) on Melbourne’s then main police station. This article looks at some of the decisions and events of that day, things which led to survival or death. On that day, I was working a little over a kilometre away, on the 1st floor of a building (that’s NOT the ground floor, for anyone from the USA :) ), and it shook a couple of centimetres. When I got to my lunch break, I went up to museum, as I’d planned to do, and was herded out with everyone, which is when I found out how bad the explosion was (although I didn’t see any of the aftermath) – we had thought it may have been a gas main exploding, or similar;
