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; - With regard to refugees: Turkey and the European Union are discussing the refugee crisis, as NATO gets involved in action against people smugglers, and the UN warns that returning refugees to Turkey would violate international law; Canada will increase its refugee intake to 57,000; an open letter to Australia’s Departmental Secretary for Gulags; the importance of making sure that war criminals found amongst refugees (about 5 in 10,000 in the Netherlands) are prosecuted using judicial systems; Nauru police have rejected claims of machete attacks on refugees, despite some evidence;
- With regard to human rights and discrimination (including
associated violence / crime):
why women don’t contribute to Wikipedia as much as men; a review of where the push for equal rights for women stalled (in the 80s, with the push to broaden legal equality into cultural change) and a call for a new approach; world leaders have been urged to put girls at the front of efforts to eradicate poverty; whilst having more women in Boards has been shown to increase companies’ income, harassment is rife in service industries, partly because of the “customer is always correct” attitude; homelessness advocates have called on the New South Wales government to target rental subsidies at older women and ban “without cause” evictions in an effort to decrease the rate of homelessness among older women; exploitation of women in the global economy; a thoughtful criticism of feminism;
a trial is underway into allegations of discrimination by police on Palm Island;
a call for the Indonesian government to reject a parliamentary committee proposal to censor media related to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) issues;
New Zealand has taken a common sense measure of decency, and banned the abomination termed “zero hour contracts”; - With regard to crime, judicial matters and policing: questions are being raised about the honesty of neochristian cardinal George Pell’s testimony on child abuse – also see here, about the price paid by those who tried to stand up to abusers; hoon ringleaders in my home state have been charged; concerns that national policing databases could be exempted entirely from privacy laws under proposed laws; prosecution of the criminal who is alleged to be responsible for the destruction of ancient shrines in Timbuktu has commenced; an excessive force case is proceeding against two police officers in Ballarat; the UN will repatriate peacekeeping units with soldiers who have been accused of sexual assault (I hope they are still charged and investigated and, if guilty, BPM published … ); seven people have been arrested and guns have been seized as part of an investigation into a series of non-fatal shootings in Melbourne's north and west;
- With regard to press aka the media, and freedom of expression (keeping in mind that claims of presenting “both sides” of a debate can be WRONG if the other side is RUBBISH –as is the case on LGBTIQ issues): attacks on journalists in the north Caucasus;
- With regard to overcrowding and “modern” lifestyle issues (is YOUR smart phone free of conflict minerals? I was recently pleasantly to find IT manufacturers now making at least some effort in this regard. Are you being duped by modern mantras?): threats to Papua New Guinea’s rainforest; the push to use green infrastructure, and the blocks that is facing (some of which I have written about elsewhere);
- With regard to education: a more flexible approach has been adopted for education in Bangladesh to help children of those suffering extreme poverty; a call for the Dutch government to be the first European Union nation to take concrete measures to implement the Safe Schools Declaration, which is designed to help end widespread military attacks on schools during armed conflict;
- 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): a review of prospects for peace in Afghanistan;
- With regard to Africa, the Africa

one of the last opposition leaders not to flee Burundi has been arrested; - With regard to China and East and South East Asia: more seasonal threats from North Korea … unless they’re serious threats this time: one should always be careful, and work as hard at clearing nonBPM units and sending BPM energy as if one knew the threats were real. The time they are, if one hasn’t done so … ; Russia and North Korea may be cooperating in a crime against humanity (slave labour); a review of stronger action being taken against North Korea;
- With regard to the Indian sub-continent, The Hindu and other sources
have:
an opinion piece on legacy laws of the British occupation and their constraint of democracy; the problem of hate against LGBT people in India;
Pakistan is despairing of Indian attitudes;
the Sri Lankan government says it has found a new place for a boy who was excluded from school after other families shunned him over HIV rumours; - With regard to the conflict in Iraq (noting that Iraq was once a peaceful and prosperous society, before the USA / CIA backed revolution – see here): reflections on lessons learned and mistakes made just after the invasion of Iraq; the Shia leader Muqtada al-Sadr has recently returned to the public spotlight, and may possibly have changed … ;
- With regard to the Libyan civil war: terrorists are kidnapping refugees and forcing them to fight for them at gunpoint; an article on the danger that focusing on terrorist risks in Libya may result in Western nations losing sight of the fundamental importance and usefulness of the political dialogue in that nation, and things like the unity government (could this be what the dream I had on Thursday night was actually about?);
- With regard to the Russia (see also Syria): Russia claims to be planning a cutback in military spending; Russia and North Korea may be cooperating in a crime against humanity (slave labour); a call for stronger action against Russia’s nuclear threats; three women, exiled after their politician fathers were assassinated, are working for a better Russia from exile – despite threats;
- with regard to the conflict in Syria: the ceasefire is continuing, and civilian deaths are down by 90%; the opposition is signalling that it may be willing to attend the UN’s peace talks; a story on the experiences of those opposing Assad; the UN Special Envoy for Syria has said, in a message for the International Day for Women, that many Syrian women have been affected by the war, but have continued with courage and have, and must have, the right to be part of the political process and the negotiations that the UN is organising (UN daily briefing); the need for more aid to stabilise Jordan as a result of the Syrian war;
- with regard to Turkey: Turkey is continuing to silence dissent; unable to find work, Syrian entrepreneurs amongst the refugees are relaunching businesses they left behind; a real life Turkish hero; a review of Erdogan’s takeover of a leading Turkish newspaper;
- with regard to the conflicts in Ukraine, particularly in the east: although I have no news links, I have not forgotten Ukraine;
- With regard to West Asia / the Middle East,
the Middle
East Eye and other sources have:
US President Obama has criticised Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, Turkish leader Erdogan (whose wife has praised harems!) and the UK’s Prime Minister, David Cameron;
Palestinian-Israeli violence is continuing – see, for example, here; a Palestinian poet whose work includes the line “we teach life, sir”; a response to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s latest crazy idea of expelling Israeli Palestinians to Gaza, which is supported by most Israelis; middle class moderates are leaving Israel for economic reasons (way to go, Bibi, given the cost of your aggression and war on Israel’s economy); an Israeli who is driving Palestinians who need medical attention to hospital;
the possibility of reform in Iran following elections is being complained about by conservatives; Iran has test fired ballistic missiles in defiance of bans;
a British Muslim man’s work to reform aspects of Islam and to appeal to “the silent majority” of United Kingdom Muslims;

the abuse of domestic workers in the Gulf states; - With regard to the war in Yemen: the elderly and their carers are being targeted; the Houthis have sent officials to Saudi Arabia to discuss ending the war in Yemen, although that may be limited to Saudi border violence; a group of Yemeni rebels has asked Iran to back off;
- With regard to natural and other catastrophes: the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has said that timely agricultural assistance for the upcoming rainy season is essential to help the drought-affected people of Ethiopia, as one of the strongest El Niño events on record continues to have devastating effects on the lives and livelihoods of farmers and herders; rain in the Gulf states has led to the deaths of at least six people;
- With regard to peace and/or spirituality generally, and
the occasional nice story:
surprisingly, the Japanese royal family is standing firm against attempts to whitewash Japan’s history during World War Two; the importance of credibility when making commitments in international politics; an Adnyamathanha woman's anti-violence campaign;
and from a range of other sites:
- a Cyanobacteria (“blue-green algae”) is spreading along the Murray River;
- listening to people who have survived suicide attempts may help with prevention;
- some excellent reflection on the decline of how science is viewed and implemented in the last half century;
