These links are, in part, to pass on useful
or potentially useful information to help others learn and grow and develop, as
I have been helped by others doing the same for me. If nothing else, some of
these at least might stimulate some useful thought – and disagreeing
intelligently with something can sometimes be a useful exercise. (Also, these are links I would like any
future incarnations of me to come across and read :) )
However, there is more to it than that –
particularly as most of these links, in my more recent readings posts, are news
links.
As you may well know from Psychic Weather
Reports, Dear Reader, every ‘bad’ news story is something that, in general, requires:
(i) clearing of all negative energy associated with the event directly (e.g., pain, fear, etc on the part of the direct victims) or indirectly (e.g., fear, overreactions, inappropriate reactions, or seeking to outdo others’ reactions in others reached via the media);(ii) healing of those harmed;(iii) that those responsible be found through BPLF [1] means and brought to BPLF justice (if otherwise, as the means shape the end, the result will a society that is lessened and a strengthening of the so-called ‘law of the jungle’ [2]); and(iv) that BPLF inspiration be given to enable all to rise above this, and take BPLF actions that will ensure a BPLF prevention of a recurrence, in the sense that USA President John F Kennedy talked of “true and lasting peace”.
Thus, every one of the ‘bad news’ stories which
I may have provided links for is an opportunity – but, furthermore, so are many
of the ‘good’ news stories, which often requires nonBPLF units to be
cleared to prevent blocking of improvements, to help those who are busting
their guts and becoming exhausted trying to make good things happen, and to
provide some much needed BPLF healing, energy, inspiration and encouragement –
everysinglegoodnewsstory.
Also, keep in mind that reading these
stories may well stimulate links you personally have to similar units (energies, links, etc). Immediately,
that gives you a chance to improve both yourself and the world by dealing
constructively with any nonBPLF units through good shadow work, and by
strengthening any BPLF units.
I now lump these links into three broad
categories:
- Links on spiritual/metaphysical/psychic/Pagan matters;
- Some other links I consider relevant to consideration of spiritual/moral/ethical and related matters;
- Links on other matters.
As you read these, I wish you good hunting,
good working, and the odd bit of fun :) , so let’s begin.
G'day, hello, howdy, hi, zdravstvujtye (some of my work colleagues are Russian), guten tag (where I have connection owing to a recent past life), sveiki, czesc (I have friends, not just colleagues, at work who are Polish), bonjour (colleagues at a former workplace were French, and we practised and tried to extend my woeful and limited range of this language), selamat pagi (one of the best junior engineers I ever worked with was Malaysian, and she taught me a few words), annyeonghaseyo, pryvit, bitaem, como vai (a friend of mine a few years ago, although not Brazilian, had Portuguese ancestry), ¡Hola (a former work colleague and friend, a VERY talented artist - with a Mexican sensibility to her artwork, particularly around the Day of the Dead - used to teach me Mexican Spanish), Selamat pagi, ni hao (ah, my work trips to Asia, and the many wonderful, wonderful people I have met there - and some excellent work colleagues and friends here, as well), bongiorno (my current home city of Melbourne has lots of Italians, who have made our culture far richer - and made us coffee snobs :) ), hoschakal, hejsan, ciao, jo napolt kivanu, chào bà, chào ông, yiassou (from the city which has, I understand, the largest collection of Greek people outside of Greece), ceau, salam wa aleikum, sawas dee ka, dia duit, hoi, hei, namaste, marhaba, dobry den, hej, konnichiwa, kihineh, hæ.
WARNING: some of these links may contain triggers around issues such
as violence, sexual assault, discrimination.

- from the Correllian YouTube channel: regional “karma”; world walkers; teaching children; can prophecy be overdone (happened to me when I was young, although not in the sense being discussed here – and was specifically told off by the Yi Jing); the (small if properly trained) danger of losing one’s place in reality, if one works with high level magick; the idea of praying to Deities for release from life (i.e., death), rather than healing and recovery; dealing with a faith shaking shock; clearing casual charges – e.g., bad vibes from someone who mad something; how to use e-candles; the term “charge” in “charge of the Goddess”;
and now, a stack of links I found while

Some other links I consider relevant to
consideration of spiritual/moral/ethical and related matters, including
environmental and human rights:

Links on society generally and other matters:
[1] BPM =
Balanced Positive (spiritually) Mature. See here and here for more on this.
[2] Please see here, 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 ...
