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 apologies. At least we will have internet connected this week, so I
will be able to do these a little more comprehensively.
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 and here are 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. This
post reminds us to be patient and persistent (and I like the comment about a sudden “shift” being just another form
of apocalyptic thinking).
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;
on that term, see also here
and here), 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 honesty and self-reflection of inward-focused BPM Water;(d) too much machismo in the Russian military, together with a staggering excess of deliberate self delusion;(e) restraint remains an oft appropriate and admirable quality;(f) people twisting situations, including situations of genuine ethical concern, to their own personal (or personally perceived) advantage are a concern – for the damage their short sightedness does to them, as much as the massive, actual damage done to others and, in man cases, society;(g) addiction to power, and the blindness and self serving that causes, remains an issue – not only in politics and the media;(h) I am tempted, out of frustration, impatience and exhaustion, to write that stupidity is an issue, but then I think: well, maybe it is lack of awareness, and we need more 1970s style consciousness raising (which we do), but there is a dogged determination to reject such education and refusal to change – together with the FACT that some people can be decent human beings withOUT such education – that leads me back to the flaws of those ACTIVELY refusing to broaden their consciousness, and the reactionary movements they lead and the massive harm they ACTIVELY cause … those flaws include a failure / refusal to think, but there are many other issues as well – wanting parental approval, fear of loss of security, wanting to be accepted by peers (desire for friendship aka FEAR of being alone), stubbornness, resentment at others not making mistakes they have, etc, etc, etc. ALL of these have to be identified and addressed and, in the case of young people, “nipped in the bud” by better education – if we can get over parents’ delusion that they have a “right” (actually non-existent) to create “mini-me’s” out of children they temporarily have, and who they actually have a spiritual obligation towards to ensure they reach their full potential;
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?

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):
Chad has completed its Presidential elections, with a possibility that the incumbent may receive a fifth term; street activists in Hong Kong have formed a political party in an attempt to move Hong Kong towards democracy from within the system; a clever step to maintain civility in the Democratic competition for nomination for the next US Presidential election; a questioning as to whether the “Panama Papers” is a legal or political scandal; a committee has recommended that Brazil’s President be impeached; anti-corruption police in Papua New Guinea have arrested that nation's Attorney-General, the Prime Minister's lawyer and a Supreme Court judge; a critique of the violence and intimidation used against the political left in Indonesia; a call for reform of Australia’s electoral process (I would also like to see us vote for the policies first, and then the representatives second); - 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 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):
prevention has or may have occurred in India; a terrorist organisation in Africa is using many more child suicide bombers;
a hostage has been released in the Philippines;
the speed of the investigation into the recent Paris terrorist attack led to the terrorists abandoning their plans to strike there again, and changing to Brussels instead; - With regard to refugees: dozens of people have been hurt in violence and the response at a refugee camp on Greece’s border; some Iraqi refugees are willingly returning to Iraq, because of the harsh conditions and risk of assault in Europe; humanitarian needs now surpass what was seen at the end of World War Part Two, but aid experts say the know-how is in place to build a 21st century response system - e.g., closer coordination and integration of emergency assistance and development policies; allowing long term refugees to work; greater involvement of local actors in meeting their own needs; private-sector participation; emphasizing crisis prevention where before crisis response sufficed; and steady streams of funding;
- With regard to human rights and discrimination (including
associated violence / crime):
a Sydney woman has been jailed for her racist assaults; another racist incident by taxi drivers; racism in India;
a call for more gender diversity in the judicial system;
my home state has committed over half a billion dollars to addressing the problem of domestic violence;
finally – an LGBT fairy tale; an excellent article on the arrogance of resisting acceptance of trans people; a good, common sense guide on interacting with trans people;
Venezuela's Supreme Court has overturned an amnesty for jailed opposition leaders approved by the opposition-controlled parliament; - With regard to crime, judicial matters and policing: charges have been laid following investigation of a recent brawl between two gangs that ruined a festival; concerns that new police powers in NSW, which could see citizens face bans on their employment, restrictions on movement and curfews without ever having committed an offence, would set up a “rival criminal justice system”; a comment on the very clumsy attempt to grab dual nationality children – in contravention of local law - in Lebanon, and what it shows about the situation of women there. I’m glad the judge is pushing for a family resolution of the children’s situation – see also here;
- 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): this is not someone debating or using free speech: this is someone showing their spiritual immaturity; police have admitted accessing a journalist’s metadata without a warrant;
- 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. Do you suffer from FOMO? Are you being duped by modern mantras? Does your AI use ethics? Does your corporation misuse mindfulness as a distraction from working conditions? Do you understand embedded emissions?): a call to investigate a possible link between agricultural insecticides and Parkinson’s; coral bleaching is now affecting over half the Great Barrier Reef; housing and job blockages facing young people; an article on dealing with workplace stress; climate change will flood much of Viêt Nám’s lowlands; an article on public housing (aka “the projects”) in the USA; a call for better treatment of renters who want pets; the world’s largest private coal company has filed for bankruptcy in the USA – which may give financial benefits, at the expense of workers, rather than lea to liquidation – and is seen as symbolic of the world’s shift away from coal;
- With regard to education: a religious school in Victoria has forced students to tear out a page because it dealt with same sex attraction and premarital sex; avoidable problems with rorting public subsidies;
- 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): the plight of Afghani refugees;
- With regard to Africa, the Africa Center for Strategic Studies (and other
sources) also has:
Amnesty International has called for an investigation after officials said Nigeria's military had secretly buried more than 300 Shia Muslims in a mass grave; - With regard to China and East and South East Asia: street activists in Hong Kong have formed a political party in an attempt to move Hong Kong towards democracy from within the system; Taiwan has accused Kenya of forcibly sending some of its citizens to mainland China; China is unhappy with international criticism of its bullying colonialist behaviour in the South China Seas; a court case has been brought by a trans man against his former employer for discrimination; the Philippines and Viêt Nám are developing closer ties in response to Chinese aggression – see also here; an analysis of China’s Great Wall and its current activities in the South China Seas;
- With regard to the Indian sub-continent, The Hindu and other sources
have: suicide is an even bigger problem
amongst Indian housewives
than farmers; racism in India;
recommendations to all parties on managing the divisions over Nepal’s new Constitution;
refugees returning to Sri Lanka’s north have identified land and housing as key issues to be addressed; - 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): humanitarian assistance is continuing to refugees from areas near Mosul (UN daily briefing);
- With regard to the Russia (see also Syria): Russian state TV has accused a leading Kremlin critic of being an agent for the British and US intelligence services, but its accusations are based on documents that are full of grammatical errors and have been branded as forgeries; Russian attack jets have simulated an attack on a US destroyer, raising major concerns;
- With regard to Sudan and South Sudan:
the western Sudanese region of Darfur is to vote on its administrative status, 13 years after the start of a conflict which has left 300,000 dead;
South Sudan's rebel leader Riek Machar has returned to the country for the first time in more than two years, and will resume his former role as Vice President, all as part of a peace deal; - with regard to the conflict in Syria: concerns the ceasefire is about to collapse, and concerns about the humanitarian situation in Daraya, as Assad shows signs of growing confidence; to stabilise Syria’s northern border, recommendations that the USA should “shift its priority from “degrading and destroying” IS toward the broader, related goal of preventing further destabilisation (while continuing its fight against IS); make clear that PKK actions in Turkey will affect how the U.S. views its relationship with the YPG in Syria; and signal to Ankara that returning to a program of rights-based reforms and preparing the way for new talks with the PKK would enable the U.S. to strengthen its efforts to address Turkey’s transborder security concerns”;
- with regard to the conflicts in Ukraine, particularly in the east: the Ukrainian Prime Minister has resigned;
- With regard to West Asia / the Middle East,
the Middle East Eye and other sources have: US views towards Israel may be shifting; Israel claims violence is dropping,
after six months which have seen the deaths of more than 200 people; recommendations (based on preserving status quo
“understandings”) to maintain
peace in a key part of Jerusalem; an Arab police officer has been promoted by
Israel to the highest rank ever attained by a Muslim in the force;
anger over Egypt’s decision to cede two Red Sea islands to Saudi Arabia;
the Gulf states are borrowing to fill budget gaps;
a favourable assessment of Tunisia’s progress on democracy;
an assessment that Lebanon is being affected by rapid changes –particularly in geopolitical context; - With regard to the war in Yemen: promises to respect the ceasefire, now in effect, have been made doubtful after late clashes;
- With regard to natural and other catastrophes: an earthquake in Japan;
- With regard to peace and/or spirituality generally, and
the occasional nice story:
examples of people who have left extreme religious lives; an indigenous community in northern Canada has declared a state of emergency after 11 people attempted to take their own lives in one day; an analysis of the lawsuit by the Marshall Islands against nations which have nuclear weapons;
