Something I have been thinking of for some time is running a short survey to get a little feedback from those who visit this blog. If you are interested, a 5 question survey is at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DH2FBYV.

Post No. 1,008 - Some Personal Reflections: Courage and Ethics, and Change

I’ve been watching the film “Hacksaw Ridge” - with considerable difficulty, owing to internet interruptions associated with wind and a network that our housemate, who works with PCs, mobile phone apps and the internet, compares unfavourably with the internet speeds of places such as eastern Europe (actually, I started this during a 3 hour break at about 1 hr and 20 minutes into the film because of these problems … I hope former Communications Minister, now Prime Minister, Turnbull is pleased with his [catastrophic?] changes to the NBN … - although those changes did save something, when compared to what cretins in their neoliberal party wanted to do. Of course, after watching the film I had to spend a considerable amount of time clearing the units that had been drawn in – including several people who had died in that and similar battles and been earthbound ever since).

I’d been reluctant to watch this film, owing to concerns that Mel Gibson may be pushing his pro-Christian/neochristian agenda, and the possibly gratuitous nature of the portrayal of violence (some of it was, but most of it was contextually plausible – and, based on the comments of those who were there, realistic) … however, the film does actually portray the moral struggles and terrifying situations quite well.

Bravery comes in different forms, and moral/ethical bravery is as valid as physical courage.

In the case of the film, Doss’ courage in insisting on his right to serve as an unarmed medic is moral courage (I’ve generally thought I would volunteer for bomb/UXO disposal if I was in a similar situation, but there are situations where I possibly would fight … a point the film “Dances With Wolves” makes in the context of this flawed world).

Can I recommend the film? Well, it is graphic enough to be disturbing to some people, who may lose the consideration of moral aspects in their distress, but for consideration of courage, it could be a useful stimuli – e.g., something to watch before meditating on the nature and forms of courage.

(Note: fearless means an absence of fear, and thus there is way someone who is fearless can be brave or courageous, in my view … to be brave, you have to overcome your fear – and suppressing/denying fear is NOT the same as fearless.)

Courage is something that is often needed in the workplace.

As an example, standing up to pressure to change a report to something that is less clearly against a development proposal, or resisting pressure to present information more favourably, rather than honestly, following proper QAQC procedures rather than creating approvals after the event, pointing out when restructuring is going to have disadvantages, etc. Back in the 80s, I even pointed out to one company I worked for that I would refer a matter to the Ethics Committee of the Institution of Engineers Australia (they back down, so I didn’t need to).

What can one lose from that? One’s job, any sense of belonging (I am getting used to being a pariah in the workplace), and, in the case of major whistleblowers (e.g., see here, here, and here), one’s sanity/wellbeing. In extreme cases, one can possibly lose one’s life, as Karen Silkwood did, – although watching one’s loved ones suffer as a result of losing a job/pay cuts/etc is probably more distressing. Sometimes the lack of obvious loss or injury makes the situation harder – as too often happens with mental illness.

(These are also situations that I was thinking about when I wrote my post about “lifestyle vulnerabilities”).

I lost the argument about changes in my workplace in the 80s which was part of the workplace war which led to the current neoliberal nightmare that afflicts the world now. I suspect the people I was contending with didn’t realise that their efforts to alter a static situation would lead to people wanting to take things a bit further than those who went before (and thus one could say, perhaps, the economic rationalists led to the neoliberals, as an example), but in my opinion, they should have had that vision/insight/understanding.

Less obviously, or less directly, perhaps, failing to stand against decisions that will result in ecological damage could possibly be a failure of courage, but, in any case, there is a lack of vision/insight/understanding (on that, I was appalled to discover that one of my senior colleagues is a climate change denier).

As an extension of that, arguments that business is simply “giving people what they want” also do not stack up morally/ethically/spiritually or, in some cases, environmentally. There are extreme examples of that, but, more recently, a number of advances in technology that are considered by many (not all – when people assume something they like and find convenient is the same for others, they are showing their lack of life experience and/or stupidity) have potential disadvantages around loss of privacy.

(There is also an issue of balance here. I read a comment last year that a manager didn’t want his employees to be able to do maths in their head/recall things if it detracted from their ability to think of the big picture. I can do basic maths fairly easily –f roughly – without a PC or calculator, and I appreciate the ability it gives me to keep my mind a bit sharper, but it is not a substitute for allowing a PC to do complex calculations so I can take a step back and look at the bigger picture.)

Of course, there can be a problem with all this when the values one are showing courage about are wrong – e.g., spiritually immature (such as the neochristian resistance to LGBT rights) or unbalanced (such as neoliberalism, or communism). Another example of that would be those Germans who supported – or started off supporting – the excesses of Hitler and his goons, and subsequently found out about the Holocaust (which was generally earlier than the end of World War Part Two).

On that, my dreamwork last night included gaining an awareness of people in families and larger groups who stayed loyal to the family, no matter what “side” of a conflict or issue they were on. It left me thinking of how “family values” can, in some ways, be harmful to the Family of Humanity – and of how contemptible some people’s values can be, when they make their loyalty to whoever is winning, irrespective of the rights and wrongs of a situation or issue. (I will be doing more clearing/healing work on those people in coming days and weeks.)

Such situations are probably easier to handle if one hasn’t dug oneself into a moral hole by one’s vehemence ... Arguing politely has its advantages :)

And, on the topic of change, my partner has been working on a “self reflection” for her counselling and psychotherapy masters, based on events in one’s early life that have had a major influence on oneself.

In my case, the event that came to mind as having had a major influence on me when I was young was a documentary about the “Indian Mutiny” of 1857, watched while we were at my (adoptive) father’s grandmother’s house. She had an old “Queenslander” (see here, although that doesn't fully make clear that this style of house was found throughout Queensland - the one I am referring to was in Rockhampton), with massive verandahs that our beds were typically on, covered by mossie nets (which made some of the nights even more hot and uncomfortable). Well, I had nightmares triggered by the brutality and butchery shown (and that not very graphically, by today’s standards). However, those nightmares were a key step in me developing my determination that the world be a better place.

(I also felt quite a bit of empathy for the depiction of Abraham Lincoln’s son as having nightmares after seeing photos of slaves in the film “Lincoln”. I also understand the concerns of the parents that the nightmares not happen, but I can state – from my personal experience – that, in at least some cases, the nightmares can lead to something better.)

Another major influence on me, one that I have written about and critiqued elsewhere, was the very controversial Lobsang Rampa.

On the topic of change, I have planned for some time to write an article about “my escape from pugnacity”. The problem is, I don’t consider I have properly escaped from that way of reacting to situations.

However, as a result of my increased self awareness, particularly from the personal growth work I did in the 80s, I am often able to choose to work with this as a tool, much as I have worked at changing how I use anger. I aim to channel anger constructively (as passion, in a sense); pugnacity tends to crop up when I feel people are aggressively trying to push/bully/railroad me into their views, and I use it as a defence to get those people to back off and let me work through things at my own speed – in that sense, it is about assertive self defence. However, it can also manifest in a more negative form of defensiveness, and that is where the comments I made earlier about not having vehemently dug oneself into a hole are useful.

Courage to accept change, particularly when one is wrong, can also help.

And finally, I’d like to end with a few reading links.

I am revamping my former website, and getting at least one other underway (pronounced "new-MYTH-ear"; ... aka Bellatrix Lux … aka Morinehtar … would-be drýicgan or maga ... )

My "blogiography" (list of all posts and guide as to how to best use this site) is here, and my glossary/index is here. The reasons for my caution when using Wikipedia are 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. 

May the best in me, my Higher Self,
and those of the Clear Light who assist me,
help me to keep myself grounded, centred and shielded,
to be Balanced and a Fulcrum of Balance,
a centre of Balanced Positivity and Spiritual Maturity,
with my aura continuously cleansed, cleared and closed,
repelling all negative or unwanted energies,
whilst allowing positive, balancing and healing energies in and through.

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.

Post No. 1,007 – Psychic Weather Report No. 0109

There is an introduction / reminder / explanation about these posts here (and 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 some additional comments at the end of this post, just before my signature block. Please also note that I hope this work will be taken up by a network of competent dowsers and BPM psychic warriors.

Now, as you read this, consider this: how does one outflank an idea, or attack an emotion in the rear? It is as well to consider what those who are unbalanced could do to good ideas and emotions, as well as considering BPM ways to outflank or ‘attack in the rear’ bad ideas/emotions. Also consider geopolitics, and this mapping exercise.

As a first point, it is also recommended that you read yesterday’s summation of world events.

This week’s assessment and plan:

Significant features this week are the high levels of BPM energy in Europe - which is largely the defiant response to the violent extremist attack in the UK - and some areas affected by that, the shift of nonBPM energy to some of the oceans and the Arctic (where few people tend to think to look, let alone work with), and ongoing problems in East and South East Asia and southern Africa.

My approach this week will be (incidentally, if you disagree, please use your own interpretations, or your own divinations):

• Bindrune:
  
  
• Sunday: the purpose of this day’s work is, mainly, to build a reserve of BPM energy to call upon during the coming week. In addition to the meditation / clearing work described below, I will also be working on making sure I, my crystals and my other tools / devices are as fully charged with BPM energy as I can make them (which is something I have posted about elsewhere, but may post more about in the near future):
   - clear nonBPM units from, and send BPM energy to the North Atlantic Ocean, Europe, Russia, Central and South (aka “the Indian subcontinent”) Asia, and the Indian Ocean, and to all actual and potential BPM Leaders, and for all humans to recognise the essential shared humanness of other people and to choose to live modestly;
• Monday:
   - clear nonBPM units from, and send BPM energy to South (aka “the Indian subcontinent”)and West (aka “the Middle East”) Asia, all of Africa, and the Antarctic;
• Tuesday:
   - clear nonBPM units from, and send BPM energy to North America and the Arctic;
• Wednesday:
   - clear nonBPM units from, and send BPM energy to South America and the South Atlantic Ocean;
• Thursday:
   - clear nonBPM units from, and send BPM energy to East and South East Asia;
• Friday:
   - clear nonBPM units from, and send BPM energy to Central America and the Pacific;
• Saturday: this day will now be reserved for rest, recuperation and healing – of all those who are trying in a BPM way to make this planet a better place, not only of myself and those who are sharing this work. I ask that any and all healers who wish to contribute to this, take a few minutes to contribute to this on this day.

Remember, the meditation (see here, here, and here) consists of:

 - appropriate and responsible protection (see here, here, here), prayer and ritual (e.g., here) to establish and check protection (re-do or re-schedule, if you don’t feel safe and secure);

 - personal connection to Higher BPM influences;

 - flush one's aura with emerald green, royal blue and royal purple;

 - fill one’s Heart Chakra (and maybe one’s Earth Star, Solar Plexus, Third Eye and Crown Chakras) with emerald green, royal blue and royal purple; send a weave of three streams of this colour from the Chakra(s) to a visualisation of a gigantic, multi-faceted emerald (which has been created to facilitate networking of BPM workers) through your facet until you see your energy enlivening other areas of the emerald and can feel similar energies flowing back to you;

 - visualise the sequence of runes / bindrunes (if given);

 - generate feelings of love, peace, joy and respect;

 - strengthen those feelings (energies);

 - radiate those energies to the world for nine to eighteen minutes;

 - close your chakras, centre yourself and close your aura, use the banishing version of the LBRP to open circle, ground and release all excess energy; and make sure you are grounded and closed down – eat, if you need to, or seek help from someone capable and trusted.

Important note: although I show the flow of energy using arrows, they are really - to continue the weather chart analogy - more like the passage of a frontal system as shown on a synoptic chart. Also, if I ever miss doing a Psychic Weather Report, I have posted a standard, fall-back, default version here, which I will update from time to time when needed.

Irrespective of this assessment, however, please join us in trying to make sure that the Shield of Hope area formed by (part or all of) the South Atlantic Ocean, Southern and Eastern Africa (including both sources of the Nile), the Indian sub-continent (including the Himalayas) and the Indian Ocean, shown outlined in gold on this week’s energy map, consistently has BPM energy at or above 7 by the time Neptune leaves Pisces, on around 30^th March, 2025 (a date which has an eclipse the day before). If you wish to do a little more coordinated action on a positive strategic front, I'm also planning on routinely sending BPM energy to Hong Kong, Tunisia, and Mexico, which show potential as "outposts of the BPM” and I wish to encourage their change for the better, and through the Red Sea and Suez Canal to the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea.

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. It is also worth contemplating that one of the greatest weaknesses of those who oppose Balanced Positivity is the inherent pain, suffering and negativity of their aims and means – from the personal slights, insults and traumas left by the petty tyrant, autocrat, dictator/monarch or the ruthless (some at least are not; some are BPM) oligarch or politician, through the social dislocation of the economic ideologue to the long-lasting trauma, injury, death and desolation of society caused by those who use violence or war as a means to achieve power or impose their will. It may take time, but people WILL eventually realise what is not good, and will take action – which is why slavery is no longer ubiquitous, and why the march to freedom and democracy is underway – tentatively, and with backsliding and mistakes along the way, but inexorable nevertheless.

Also, if you’re interest is healing, I have changed the way I do these posts to more clearly show opportunities for doing healing. Those interested in providing protection for others always have a place – refer to the first item from yesterday’s summation of world events (details and link below), for instance. Finally, a reminder that if none of this is of any interest to you, but you would still like to contribute energetically / psychically to making the world a better place, there are other options –for instance, see here, here, here, here, here (and here), here, here, and here – and, no doubt, many other places on the internet.
