My apologies, but a cut-down version again this week. I
may have to retire before I can do these as I wish * SIGH *
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), and there are online groups (e.g. here
and here
– which I’m not members of, and thus do not know the quality of). 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 BPM, rational Air to control arrogance, undue optimism (e.g., of Assad) and other nonBPM emotions (Water);(d) awareness that reality is far more than “just” the physical is needed – on a wide basis, but it MUST be done properly: the “reward in heaven” rubbish is just a form of control and suppression of everyday people, whereas knowing that one can actively do something about changing situations is empowering;(e) Canada continues to impress with its improvement on many issues – particularly standing up to China’s Foreign Minister Much of the credit there lies with its new Prime Minister. On the other hand, Turkey and its leader continue to backslide in a week when even the notoriously rabid Israeli Prime Minister managed to do something which hinted at possible improvements … ;(f) the situations in Yemen and Syria continue to be dire. I didn’t find any news on Ukraine in my limited work this week, but I suspect the stalemate is as dangerous and potentially deadly there as it is on the Korean Peninsula – and probably worse, as the fighting in eastern Ukraine is probably ready to continue if not already doing so. Talks are continuing in Yemen, and provided everyone understands that there are more than two sides (i.e., being anti-government does not mean you are pro-Houthi; I will therefore be clearing any units which could cause simplistic thinking / emotional reactions), there is some hope of some sort of peace there, which will enable attention to be given to terrorist threats. Ukraine has had talks, imperfect though they may have been, and what is needed there now is good governance – and there are some people who are in a position to bring that to being. In Syria, the Russian involvement kept Assad afloat and gave him so much confidence that he has become arrogant, and finding a solution to the violence there is now harder. It seems to me that Assad must stop thinking he can regain dictatorial control of that nation as it was before there can be any way forward, and my “changing the personality of oppressors” post will be the starting point for all I am doing there – although there is a role for Russia to continue with its pressure on Assad to compromise. And then, of course, there is Iraq, Afghanistan, West Africa and all the other conflicts currently happening in the world ... ;(g) a number of management and government theories that have become popular in recent decades could do with some objective, unbiased, evidence-based reviews;(h) also, our governance, legal and social systems are overdue for a revamp;(i) power continues to be an addiction that few can handle. Perspective is necessary to regain objectivity for those people suffering that problem;(j) talking remains vitally important – true, BPM, effective communication;(k) the stereotypes and bad faith presumptions that political preservationists (aka, uber-conservatives) cling to need to be BPM demolished;(l) the problem of “out of sight, out of mind” also needs to be BPM demolished;(m) where problems exist, advocating for BPM responses, and being as BPM as one can be, and constructive solutions - as is clearing nonBPM units;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):
a review of why the USA is taking a more protectionist stance domestically (as it forces other nations to open up!), including noting that loss of manufacturing leads to long term harm;
Malaysia’s scandal ridden Prime Minister has thrown his support behind a proposal for an Islamic punishment code (distraction by outrage plus bread and circuses for the masses … ); attempts to deal with the widespread massacres of communists and alleged communists in Indonesia half a century ago have led to a nasty backlash - see also here; an assessment of the tactics being used by the Democratic republic of Congo’s President to stay in power; Guinea-Bissau’s President has sparked protests by appointing the opposition party’s leader as Prime Minister; more concerns over the recent NBN raids by the Australian Federal Police;
concerns over a poor and inadequate response to what appears to have been vote-buying behaviour (i.e., corruption) in 2 Indian elections; the most significant part of this article, which rebuts claims Trump is like Reagan, for me is the statement that fact checking and evidence shows lowering taxes does NOT increase revenue; concerns over the potential economic impact of Trump if elected;
moves for improved protection of whistleblowers, including pay; France and Germany have marked the 100th anniversary of the World War One battle of Verdun in north-eastern France with a call for European unity; another Brazilian government minister has resigned after he appeared to try to derail a corruption investigation (and an unusual protest by his staff); an initiative to use elder statespeople to work towards improved electoral integrity; an outsider calls for less blame game in politics; an incredibly persistent news person finally got US presidential candidate Trump to answer a question on racism;
Australia has had another warning over the housing bubble;
it is easy to read into the actions, comments and attitudes of society’s powerful, rich elites that they are maliciously wanting to harm those who are not rich or powerful (e.g., by denying us a proper say in our destiny or our society, or fair and equitable access to resources, or even by distracting us with a forced focus on survival, or by a focus on having more “stuff”), but most of that is the same “out of sight, out of mind” problem that others have – whether it is, say, blue collar workers ranting about handouts to ethnic groups they’re never met, or middle class “WASPs” ranting about refugees, the problem is the same. Some – at all levels of society – are indeed malicious, but that problem certainly is the case for almost all uncooperatives, and it is there, on the nonphysical levels of reality, that I am advocating for action. Taking away the nonphysical controllers (who are undeniably backing up and intensifying the emotions of those who are actually malicious), combined with the education efforts of activists, and you have a way to change the hearts and minds of those who are, unintentionally perhaps, doing so much harm; - 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):
terrorist attacks have occurred in Mauritius, Somalia, may be being planned/prepared for/developing in Pakistan, France, and actions have occurred against terrorists in Africa, Libya, Nigeria, Libya (2nd);
a project focused on young people’s ideas to counter violent extremism; concerns Nigeria’s increasingly militarised actions may be exacerbating problems; attempts at deradicalisation may be growing in the USA;
women join terrorist groups for the same (political) reasons as men, not “images of kittens”; a review of the resurgence of a 150 year old racist group in the USA, which notes that domestic terrorists are and have consistently been the greatest threat there; - With regard to refugees: feared violence between (neo-Nazi?) Islamophobes and anti-fascists has occurred – making both of them idiots, doing nothing constructive and leading to renewed calls for face masks to be banned. More good comments on this here and here; rescues of refugees now over 10,000 in the Mediterranean Sea, but hundreds have also drowned; the inherent conflict of interest undermining Sudan’s agreement with Europe to reduce the number of refugees; consideration is being given on how to protect Afghani refugees in Pakistan; staggering allegations of officials not helping – and blocking others from helping – injured refugees, including an unresponsive baby; an artist has created a challenging sculpture against Australia’s notorious boat turn back policy (this piece sums up, I consider, the wrongs of the turn back policy); allegations of a cover-up of a rape at Australia’s refugee gulag on Manus Island;
- With regard to human rights and discrimination (including
associated violence / crime):
Iranian students have each been given 99 lashes for holding a mixed gender party;
an Indigenous man has died in custody in the ACT, despite promises to keep him safe after a vicious bashing in the prison last year; political leaders agree there is racism in Australia, while other MPs struggle to catch up with reality; steps towards a treaty in my home state; after initially accusing people of not having a sense of humour, a Chinese company responsible for an appallingly racist ad has finally apologised; a right wing party in Germany has – surprise, surprise – come under fire for a racist remark. Somewhat surprisingly, they’ve now tried to back track; sensible comments about an indigenous woman deciding not to re-contest her seat in Parliament, as a chiropractor is charged for racially abusing her; a call for cross cultural conversations in workplaces; after assurances of safety, African students in India called off planned protests; racism in Australia; excellent insight into white control of depiction of past racism, and how that can be misused to exonerate current racism;
Pakistan has banned contraceptive ads; the US military base on Japan's island of Okinawa has imposed a midnight curfew and a ban on alcohol after the arrest of an ex-Marine suspected of killing a Japanese woman, stating there would be no "celebrations and parties while the Okinawan people are in mourning"; South Korean women are taking action against violence against women; a violent and sexist billboard; the stupidity of “boys will be boys” type attitudes;
a coroner has supported voluntary euthanasia; a call for delegates at the 2016 International Labour Conference to develop a binding, international convention to protect human rights in global supply chains; India has the dubious distinction of having the highest number of people in the world trapped in modern slavery with 18 million victims out of the nearly 46 million people enslaved globally; Lebanon has arrested a human rights activist for criticising the government; challenges to journalists in relation to reporting human rights abuses; a long overdue campaign to use more inclusive words at work, including not using “guys” – see also here, here and here, which is an excellent video (good use of humour); a challenge to the alleged health-basis of fat shaming (there has been work which suggests that inactivity, not weight is the problem – people who are overweight and active may be in a better state than those who are thin and inactive. Unfortunately I can’t get the link to work, but if you can, try the New York Times archive for 17thg September, 2012: “Thinner Means Sicker” by Harriet Brown); - With regard to crime, judicial matters and policing: child abuse in Hollywood; the recent Royal Commission on child abuse apparently did not cover incest – which I find staggering: survivors have called for a Royal Commission to cover exactly that; criminal violence in Venezuela, which is also currently experiencing a political crisis over the violence; kidnappings in Mexico are over 1,000 a year, possibly 10,00 a year; Victoria’s police management have been criticised for a “suck it up” culture which has stigmatised mental health issues – and I personally consider this to be part of the decline as a result of the series of macho police chiefs since Christine Nixon; allegations of police corruption in response to alcohol prohibition laws in some Indian states; “strong evidence” that police in an Australian state deleted photographic evidence of a sexual assault by a colleague – see also here; the UN Secretary-General has taken note of the Senegalese Courts guilty verdict against Mr. Hissène Habré, which marks a historic day for the people of Chad, the region and beyond, as well as for international criminal justice, as it sends a strong signal of accountability. The Secretary-General’s thoughts are with the victims of the crimes for which Habré has been found guilty – see also here, which comments that this shows hybrid courts can work; the investigations on allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse by United Nations peacekeepers in 2014 and 2015, conducted jointly by the Office of the Internal Oversight Services (OIOS), Burundi and Gabon are continuing, with interviews expected to be completed in the next few weeks; Nauru’s government has updated its archaic criminal code, striking same-sex relations and suicide off the list of crimes; a call for Indian police shifts to be reduced from 12 to 8 hours; 15 Malaysian airport officers, who may have connections to human traffickers, have been sacked or redeployed for disabling passport checks; the complexities of family law; more concerns over the recent NBN raids by the Australian Federal Police;
- 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): journalists in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh are under attack and many have fled; a call for Burma’s parliament to amend a proposed law on public protest to better protect rights to peaceful assembly and free expression; concerns that a recent Australian media deal is a victory for Chinese propaganda; the head of Egypt’s journalist union has been questioned over allegations of spreading false news; a debate about product review sites, with some good comments about the need for consumers to have “legal literacy” when making such comments; Canada’s Prime Minister has rebuked China’s visiting Foreign Minister for the latter’s rant against the media when asked some tough questions;
- With regard to overcrowding and “modern” lifestyle issues (is YOUR smart phone free of conflict minerals and child labour? 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?):
artists in the Philippines have a novel way to illustrate the problem of polluted waterways; a call for legal protection for those displaced by climate change; a proposal to convert disused infrastructure into a long park – inspired by similar projects elsewhere; coral bleaching has now reached the Maldives; the Great Barrier Reef is being killed by climate change; the problem of climate fatigue; an oil train has derailed and caught fire in the USA;
the damage that commercialisation has had on Australia’s scientific organisation, CSIRO; a call to deliver on “responsible supply chain commitments”; teenagers caught up in gambling online; a good assessment of evidence and health problems in relation to wind turbines; a review of the status of “the right to be forgotten”; a call for the US government and its authorities to “surrender” on cryptology issues in order to better address broader cybersecurity issues in conjunction with private industry – see also here, for a similar call for Australia, and here, which reports that ¾ of incidents are because people do not update their systems; facebook is using people’s names to advertise stuff to their friends; another ransomware scam;
both business and trade unions in Australia have now said adversarial labour relations don’t work;
gender stereotyping in kids’ toys; unconscionable conduct by sales rep is leading to suggestions to change laws to protect the elderly in particular against door to door sales people; - With regard to education: a private school is investigating whether or not it students trespassed and damaged property at a party; a call to pay teachers more;
- With regard to Africa, the Africa
Center for Strategic Studies (and other sources) also has:
UN peacekeepers have been killed in Mali;
Zimbabwe bracing for another economic collapse;
a review of the Nigerian President’s first year in office;
Uganda has switched allegiances from North to South Korea;
a wildlife protection success story from Kenya;
Germany has increased its support of the African Union;
a review of African peacekeeping, and the evolutions made in that area; - With regard to China and East and South East Asia: a Chinese crew have been arrested for fishing in another nation’s waters; a pro-democracy activist in Hong Kong has been jailed for assault – despite being the victim; China’s foreign minister has lost it and shown himself to be an incompetent idiot in his reaction to a question on human rights; China has welcomed the Philippines offer of direct talks (which is POTENTIALLY good … ); Canada’s Prime Minister has rebuked China’s visiting Foreign Minister for the latter’s rant against the media when asked some tough questions;
- With regard to the Indian sub-continent, The Hindu and other sources
have:
journalists in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh are under attack and many have fled; how drought is affecting India – including internal displacement of people; a fire at an ammunition dump has killed 17 soldiers; over 2,000 people have been infected with HIV after transfusions; concerns over a poor and inadequate response to what appears to have been vote-buying behaviour (i.e., corruption) in 2 Indian elections; after assurances of safety, African students in India called off planned protests;
India has condemned Pakistani nuclear sabre rattling;
7 Indian fishing people have been arrested by Sri Lanka; questions over the effectiveness of Sri Lanka’s resettlement programme; - 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): the Kurdish exodus from northern Iraq / Kurdistan a quarter century ago (I consider the US president at the time should have kept his mouth shut, as he said things that any reasonable person would have interpreted as suggesting that there was a good chance of help for people rebelling against Saddam Hussein, and that led to absolute disaster when it didn’t happen); fears of a humanitarian catastrophe – including possibly retribution – for citizens in Fallujah may have led to a pause in the attack;
- With regard to the Libyan civil war: the UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Libya has strongly condemned the rocket attack on the Benghazi Medical Centre, which provides healthcare to almost half a million people;
- With regard to Sudan and South Sudan:
the inherent conflict of interest undermining Sudan’s agreement with Europe to reduce the number of refugees; Sudan has deported hundreds of Eritreans back to likely abuse;
over 20,000 people have been displaced by fighting in Wau county (UN daily briefing);
shortcomings of the South Sudan peace treaty; personalities and power struggles are delaying the recovery from war; - with regard to the conflict in Syria: the United Nations is deeply concerned over the fate of an estimated 8,000 Syrians trapped by fighting in the northern Aleppo Governorate following advances in the last three days by terrorists into areas controlled by rebels (UN daily briefing); the lead opposition negotiator at the Syrian peace talks has quit, saying the talks have failed;
- with regard to Turkey: police have violently suppressed even the smallest of protests on the anniversary of Gezi; Germany has declared the Armenian deaths a century ago to be a genocide;
- With regard to West Asia / the Middle East,
the Middle
East Eye and other sources have:
the row between Iran and Saudi Arabia - ostensibly - over the Hajj (annual pilgrimage) is continuing;
a Saudi scholar has issued a fatwa against stealing someone else’s wi fi;
the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process has welcomed statements by the Israeli Prime Minister and Defense Minister on the Arab Peace Initiative. This can help advance negotiations on achieving a two-state solution. He noted that the Middle East Quartet has repeatedly emphasized the significance and importance of the Arab Peace Initiative, with its vision for a comprehensive settlement of the conflict and as an opportunity for building a regional security framework. This opportunity should not be missed and must be followed up with concrete and timely action; the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has condemned the execution of three men by authorities in Gaza despite serious and widespread concerns that international fair trial standards were not respected, and in spite of appeals by many local and international actors to halt the executions; the writer’s response to critics of a play about life in Palestine;
the head of Egypt’s journalist union has been questioned over allegations of spreading false news;
protests against a $3 billion United Arab Emirates development in Serbia; - With regard to natural and other catastrophes: lightning storms in Europe; how drought is affecting India – including internal displacement of people; floods in Paris, France;
- With regard to peace and/or spirituality generally, and the occasional nice story: the UN Secretary-General has attended the United Nations 66th Annual Department of Public Information/ Non-Governmental Organizations (DPI/NGO) conference, where he stressed the pivotal role of Non-Governmental Organizations which, as he put it, are at the vanguard of international action. He recognized their tireless work on landmines, cluster bombs, climate change and human rights, just to mention a few issues; a review of the film “Sherpa”, which comments on assessing whether or not one has enough money, rather than just accumulating more for the sake of it (although I agree with this in general, for a range of reasons I am in a situation where I might not have enough money to be able to retire, so some forethought is also required. However, if I can get back onto a simpler life on the water, I will probably have enough); some thoughts on compassion; I have just watched the powerful and excellently crafted documentary “Tibetan Warrior”, about Loten Namling. There was a lot to like, or to relate to in that documentary, but, in the context of this post, the discussions on options for resistance, including the practical constraints when there is a disparity of power and silence in the media, were well done (I maintain my advocacy for non-violence, just in case anyone wondered :) ); the kindness of a stranger towards a breastfeeding mother;
- on World No Tobacco Day, the Secretary-General said that the United Nations is lending its support to one simple measure with proven effectiveness in reducing demand: the plain packaging of tobacco products - see also here, on child workers on tobacco farms;
and from a range of other sites:
- a good comment from a behaviour expert about the behaviour of a gorilla who was shot recently, but the fact that they drag their young by the leg does not make the potential pain and injury that causes a human child any less. More common sense about kids and fences - here;
