Post No. 1,361 – Psychic Weather Report No. 0194

Note: I’ve prepared this in a different fashion to normal, and may continue to do so from time to time.

This week’s assessment and plan:

My approach this week will be (incidentally, if you disagree, please use your own interpretations, or your own divinations [see the monthly :World Psychic Predictions / Remote Viewing" here for an example of other approaches):

• 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 South Atlantic Ocean, Antarctica, the Southern Ocean, and Australia, and to all actual and potential BPM Leaders, for all humans to recognise the essential shared humanness of other people, all BPM Interrupters of violence / hate / fear / anger, and for all humans to choose to live modestly;
• Monday:
   - clear nonBPM units from, and send BPM energy to South, Central and North America, and the East Pacific;
• Tuesday:
   - clear nonBPM units from, and send BPM energy to all of Africa;
• Wednesday:
   - clear nonBPM units from, and send BPM energy to the North Atlantic Ocean, Europe, European and Siberian Russia, and the West Pacific;
• Thursday:
   - clear nonBPM units from, and send BPM energy to East and archipelagic and mainland South East Asia;
• Friday:
   - clear nonBPM units from, and send BPM energy to the Indian Ocean, and South, Central and West Asia;
• 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.

No assessment of causal energies this week, but, taking into account what I have discerned/divined from this week’s assessment of the news, I’ve created a bindrune for this week’s work, which is:

Routine Explanation / commentary

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. Please also note that I hope this work will be taken up by a network of competent dowsers and BPM psychic warriors (also, this blog was created for spiritual reasons, including a course: this is just part of it).

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.

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);

 - establish a 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 rune / bindrune (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 those oligarchs or politicians who are ruthless (some at least are not; some are BPM), 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, here (and here), here, here, and here – and, no doubt, many other places on the internet.

Post No. 1,360 – Gnwmythr’s News Ed. No. 271

For the sake of my health, until I retire or change to an easier day job , I have cut back these posts.

Information and Summary of News with Opinion / Advocacy / Analysis:

Notes:

(1) I am NOT an objective or free-from-bias journalist (this is a spiritual blog);
(2) I do NOT hold copyright to, nor claim authorship of, any of the articles I link to, except for links to material I have written for this and my related blogs, and my commentary in these posts.

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,
     so that you can do the clearing / strengthening that is required.

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. Note that clearing (rescue) of uncooperatives should ONLY be within your ability – if you get a sense (e.g., through meditation) or are told by your BPM Guides/Higher Self to back off, do so (many others are doing this work, including some who will be stronger), and content yourself with clearing the smaller nonBPM units within your capability – which will weaken stronger uncooperatives. It is OK to take a break or cut back this work if you need. Be mindful that the energies we use and manifest in our daily lives contribute to the larger soup of energies that influence world events, so address those as well (or keep them out of the psychic soup :) ).

Reminders / explanations about Sunday’s meditation-clearing are here;     see also here,     here,     here,     (here and also here and here are interesting),     here, here,     here,     and     this post reminds us to be patient and persistent, like a “speeding oak”, and there are notes at the end of this post about other options for those who do not like this way of working.

One of the biggest concerns I have about spirituality in the world now is that the concept of agape type love has been perverted into both a quest for emotional warm fuzzies, and an excuse to avoid doing the hard work of improving oneself and all that one does. See also here and here.

The themes that come to mind for my work this week, after I review all this news, are:

(a)   based on my interpretation of information here and here with 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, including spirit rescue, and healing the warped views, seemingly “inherent” biases, and other damage created. Also, remember:     (1) the counter to fear is genuine  EQ, clear thinking, and calm, de-escalating speech;     (2) where problems exist, advocate for being BPM and BPM responses;     (3) peace is powerful, but it is a process requiring patient, persistent and nuanced nurturing, and a blend of conventional spiritual work, clearing nonBPM units, and physical world activism;

(c)   dealing with th POTUS45 requires:     1. eroding POTUS45’s nonBPM influences and strengthening his BPM Guides - and giving those BPM Guides whatever BPM help they need to present a BPM alternative to promote a change of heart;     2. lifting the nonBPM influences from the shoulders of POTUS45’s marginal supporters to allow them to “come to their senses, and simultaneously strengthening their BPM influences;     3. physical world activism  – e.g., this, helping those who are doing this work including clearing nonBPM blockages;     and     4. ensuring opposition to POTUS45 is unified, cohesive and FOCUSED;

(d)   the major events this week are:
       (i)   as the search for humans rights abusers continues, further to the current map of genocides this week there are risks of mass atrocities in   Mali, Yemen, World Refugee Day and the UN Formal Debate on R2P,
      (ii)   ongoing violent conflicts and crises in Syria, Afghanistan, Mexico, Iraq, Burma, Somalia, South Sudan, Nigeria, Central African Republic, Libya, Sudan (Darfur and South Kordofan), Yemen, Egypt (Sinai), Kurdistan, the Philippines, Ethiopia, Mali, DR Congo, Burundi, Kashmir, Baluchistan (Pakistan and Iran), India (Maoist and other insurgencies), the Maghreb (Africa), Ukraine, and elsewhere;
      (iii) refugee and humanitarian crises;   -   the political madness of regimes with authoritarian leaders – and all who put or keep them there;   -   and, specific to this week,     mature idealism and practical push back to the selfish, materialist and evil ideologies that have been damaging the world for so long;     the genocides are continuing;     imperfect media coverage – and internalisation of the elites’ values;     lies and false claims about free speech, including a failure to recognise when debates have been finished and accept BPM outcomes;    authoritarianism;     continuing power struggles and failure to see the everyday person;     failure to take action against abuses of law and reasonableness;     misdirection / misplacement / misuse of resources;    abuses and misuse of power;     stupidity and surrender to coercive work expectations;     THE CLIMATE CRISIS;

(e)   may all people continue to have BPM mature idealism, and to push back against evil ideologies – including neoliberalism, also including by BPM better methods of living, such as minimalism and slow living, and stop being sheeple internalising the values and interests of elites;

(f)   may all people and organisations commit to doing what they BPM should, and find a way to do so despite political obstructionism from reprobate nations;

(g)   may all people BPM discern and BPM acknowledge truth, including when debates have been had and finished;

(h)   may all people recognise that use or failure to use power /influence has consequences, whether used or withheld for good or bad, and may they thus choose to act for BPM only use / inaction;

(i)   may all resources be properly applied and use, not for materialist or selfish outcomes;

(j)   may all people have BPM courage and stand up to coercion – and choose NOT to have lifestyle vulnerabilities;

(k)   MAY ALL PEOPLE RECOGNISE THE REALITY AND URGENCY OF ADDRESSING THE CLIMATE CRISIS, AND CHOOSE TO DO SO;

(l)   may all else that should BPM asked for, also be done;

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.

Permanent Issues and Thematically Arranged News:

• Permanent issue: may all actual and potential BPM Leaders and their Significant Others be kept BPM safe, undetectable and inviolable against indirect  psychic attack, and may they have all the BPM resources (including an assured income), opportunities and assistance for them to be BPM effective, all as is for the Highest Spiritual Good;
• Permanent issue: may all actual and potential BPM  Violence Interrupters (and Interrupters of hate / fear / anger) of be kept BPM safe, and may they have all the BPM opportunities and assistance for them to be BPM effective at containing and stopping – along the lines of the Cure Violence model - the spread of violence (and hate / fear / anger), all as is for the Highest Spiritual Good;
• Permanent issue: may all people     (a) recognise, irrespective of the appearance of difference, the essential shared humanness of other people, the strength of BPM collaboration, the benefits of diversity, and choose fairness and inclusivity;     (b) choose to live modestly;     (c) be in better communication with the better parts of their nature – especially those who need that;
• Matters warranting particular attention:
       this week on reversing the deliberate, well-funded, long-term strategy (from about the 70s – and the 90s) to make self-interest seem normal and a commitment to fairness (such as former US President Franklin D Roosevelt’s Four  Freedoms) an aberration (see also here, here, and here):     the entirety of this blog and all other spiritual work and physical activism I and many others do;     a brilliant article on mature idealism;      “after decades of right wing dominance, a transatlantic movement of left wing economists is building a practical alternative to neoliberalism”;
     on genocide, especially the Rohingya  genocide being committed by  historically  violently  expansionist  burma, and similar matters this week:
     -   burma has silenced people in Rakhine state while it conducts its next purge;     criticism of the UN for insufficient action – despite warnings – in the years leading up to the genocide (although the Russian and Chinese vetoes were problems);
     on other matters requiring particular attention:
     -   this week I found nothing in the news on  Ukraine;
     -   “free speech isn’t under threat. It just suits bigots and boors to suggest so . . . No-platformers are not scared – they simply think certain debates are over. You may disagree, but it does not mean they are against free speech” – see also here, “addressing hate speech does not mean limiting freedom of speech. To prevent it from escalating, we need to treat it as we treat every malicious act” and “modern conservatives don’t fear social change, they just oppose it when it undermines their friends”;     the attempt by the homophobic, transphobic former sports player who was sacked for bringing that organisation into disrepute when sharing his hate to raise funds has been shot down in flames – but a group of homophobic, transphobic and hypocritical neochristians have pooled their excesses;     a German politician’s murder has raised the “spectre of far-right attacks”;
     -   “many journalists and ‘centrists’ internalised the interests and preferences of the wealthy, and imagined that they defined the limits of sound policy”;
     -   “the axis of authoritarianism: China, Russia and the new geopolitics”;     the religious influence on Russia’s nuclear policies;     “the increasingly dangerous politicisation of the US military”;     calls for the USA to “more strictly regulate sales of U.S. surveillance technology to China when it is used to spy on Uyghur Muslims and other ethnic minorities”;
     -   a criticism of the (endless) “war on terror” (“stop giving terrorists exactly what they want”);
     -   after POTUS45 surprisingly stopped a physical attack by overruling his chosen hawks (a cyber-attack did occur), Iran executed an alleged US spy and has greeted the USA’s new sanctions (focusing on Iran’s leader) with disdain; and mutual personal insults;     an assessment of what could happen if the USA and Iran went to war – and of Japan’s awkward position;     Europe is trying to talk some common sense into Iran (people tried to do that with Iraq’s former despot before he was invaded, and he ignored then . . . ), but it may not be enough;     a warning against revenge;
     -   as China “erodes” democracy in Hong Kong, many are preparing to leave (I feel sorry for those not rich enough to get out);     Chinese vessels have been deliberately ramming – and, in one case, sinking - Filipino vessels in the Philippines marine zone;
     -   lack of funds (including members’ fees) is impeding the UN’s investigation of human rights abuses;
     -   “Mandela's widow [has warned world] leaders [they are] failing [their] pledge to end world hunger”;
     -   POTUS 45 has dismissed the UN’s request for the FBI to investigate his Saudi mate over the murder of a Saudi born US citizen who was a critical journalist;     more calls for Australia to protect  whistleblowers - one of whom “has accused the government of flagrantly breaching laws to thwart the release of politically-sensitive documents” – including delaying release until the political heat if off in a “culture of disdain for the rule of law”, and criticism of our creeping surveillance state (and the problem of surveillance capitalism);     major media outlets have united to call for essential press protection – see also this;     “an ABC investigation has exposed privacy breaches of the central police records database that holds files on millions of Australians” in one state;
     -   the USA’s homophobic, transphobic and misogynistic vice president has “repeatedly [refused] to say climate crisis is a threat”;     despite a pledge ten years ago by wealthy nations to cut out subsidies for coal power, most haven’t – and have increased the payouts;     “superannuation funds and investors representing US$34 [trillion] in assets – nearly half of the total under management across the globe – have called on world leaders to bring in carbon pricing and phase out coal power to limit global heating to 1.5[°]C”;     “the world is increasingly at risk of ‘climate apartheid’, where the rich pay to escape heat and hunger caused by the escalating climate crisis while the rest of the world suffers . . . [and] the impacts of global heating are likely to undermine not only basic rights to life, water, food, and housing for hundreds of millions of people, but also democracy and the rule of law”, with “the ‘patently inadequate’ steps taken by the UN itself, countries, NGOs and businesses” being “entirely disproportionate to the urgency and magnitude of the threat”;     70 Extinction Rebellion protestors who want more appropriate terminology used have been arrested in the USA;
     -   “African abortions rose under [a] US policy to stop them”;     “twenty-five countries - including Nepal, Oman, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Sudan - do not let women hand their nationality to their children, placing them at risk of becoming stateless”;
     -   “living like a super-productive chief executive is harmful to your health”;     “people who regularly work ten-hour days have a 29% greater risk of having a stroke”;     the health cost of being a politician;
       this week’s atrocity alert at R2P lists   Mali, Yemen, World Refugee Day and the UN Formal Debate on R2P;
• With regard to democracy (which can be measured [as can goodness],     requires  protection of minorities and the vulnerable),     freedom,     governance (e.g., here, here, here, here, here, here)     and     ethics:
     analyses, research and commentary this week include:
     -   the concept of ethical fading, getting organisational culture “right” in the fight against corruption, and protecting whistleblowers;     “a guide to implementing evidence-informed programs and practices”;     questions about the “US-led alliance system” in the Pacific;     the India-Indonesia relationship (the “Jokowi-Modi ‘bromance’ “);     the importance of governance in directly addressing the underlying causes of conflict (in order to prevent violence);     “inclusion should be by design, not as a concession”;     a call for the UN to restore the “values and spirit of the international civil service” by “redefining impartiality, upholding integrity and protecting independence”;     an examination of the Italy-China relationship;     a critique of philanthropy by the ultra-rich;     “responsible policy engagement: some challenges”;     “what food price-related protests in Sudan and Liberia tell us about how autocracies and democracies address price crises”;
     -   for other analyses see:   Morocco;
     of concern internationally this week:
     -   an appalling impersonation of a dead cyclist’s relative to oppose a bike safety measure;     the fight of the Nauru 19, charged as part of a government crackdown on opposition, against their charges “is ‘back at square one’ after a court of appeal threw out a permanent stay of prosecution”;     US police are looking for conservative politicians who ran away from their jobs to stop a vote – and democracy;     “more than 400 pilots have joined a class action against [an] American plane manufacturer . . . over what they allege was the company’s ‘unprecedented cover-up’ of the ‘known design flaws’ of the latest edition of its top-selling jet”;
     on the US-China – and other - trade war this week:
     -   POTUS45 has hypocritically whinged about India’s retaliatory tariffs;      China still considers it has the upper hand, but both nations have agreed to resume talks;
     of concern in my nation (Australia) this week:
     -   powerful criticism of Australia by a leading human  rights organisation for not standing up enough against abusive nations when it could make a difference (the examples are specific, and well set out);     more criticism of Australia’s poor house building;     massive fall out from revelations that a city council downgraded a fire risk assessment in a building which later experienced a cladding fire;     “the longest-serving member of Australia's government review tribunal has offered a withering assessment of the Department of Human Services' automated debt recovery program, describing it as a form of extortion”;    “computer-controlled penalties and robo-debt come with a devastating human impact”;     37 people in my home state have been killed by flu;     a controversial union boss who was widely criticised for attacking a domestic violence campaigner has been ordered to complete a behavioural change programme after pleading guilty in a harassment case –revealed to be against his wife (I’ve seen men change from such programmes, and some not: if this person changes, good, although he still owes an apology; if he doesn’t change, he should go – and his union should vote him out to avoid being accomplices in domestic violence), but his past history of behaviour may still be used by the neoliberals as a pretext to deregister his union;     “criminal action after [a] case manager [company] dragged out [a] workers’ compensation claim”;     more concerns over “the revolving door of MPs turned lobbyists”;
     other internationally concerning events this week have occurred or are developing in:   Africa,   Honduras;
     with regard to cyber warfare and other cyber problems (including AI) this week:
     -   a social media platform’s move into cryptocurrency . . . ;     more privacy and data security based calls for suspension of facial recognition;     my nation’s standards organisation is consulting with organisations, academia and civil society on AI;     the “impact of additive manufacturing on  biological weapons proliferation and export controls”;     the limitations of cyber coercion;
     good news this week includes:
     -   some fundamentals of protesting;     participatory budgeting in my home state has directed funding to specific charities in my home state;     a summary report on the Senior Indigenous Public Servant Forum;     Twitter will “will flag and deprioritise tweets by politicians and public figures if they violate its rules”;
     on development (in an “end poverty/thirst/hunger” sense):
     -   a US city “where the rich live 30 years longer than the poor”;
     on such matters in my nation this week:
     -   a Guardian Australia exclusive reports that two workers at Australia’s only nuclear research facility were exposed to “unsafe” levels of radiation;     state neoliberal governments want the federal dinosaurs to take action on climate;     a Guardian Essential poll shows “voters back health and education over high-income tax cuts”;     a staggering claim that $200,000 is “no longer” a top of the town annual wage;
• With regard to the USA and POTUS45 (see here on actions for US residents, and note that the VP is at least as bad):
     -   the next allegation of sexual assault against POTUS45 may become a police complaint;
     -   a pregnant woman who started a fight with another women she thought was a rival for her lover has been charged after the second women shot her and killed the foetus . . . ;
     -   a call to stop building on floodplains;
     -   this week’s stupidity from POTUS45 includes:   this;
• With regard to violent extremism (VE) (aka, terrorism)     (ALL people advocating hate or discrimination in response to violent extremism are actively doing the work of violent extremists. This will be countered by “Cure Violence“, BPM counter-narratives, and good, old fashioned police work (I don’t name groups to reduce their publicity):
     -   according to this Wikipedia page, in the last week there have been 10 attacks in Iraq, 7 attacks in Afghanistan,   and 1 attacks in Syria   (out of a total of 36, causing at least 197 deaths and 153 wounded);
     -   after some time misdirecting the public, it is evident that work has been underway for some time, and eight Australian children have been safely rescued from Syria, where they had been taken by violent extremist parents (the ALP MP and deradicalisation expert Anne Aly’s comment that the kids will need lots of support is good to hear – I’ve been trying to make the same point over the voices of ****wits who stupidly think just getting them back into “normality” is enough for years);
• With regard to refugees (noting the New York Declaration), this allusion to MLK, and remembering Haiti, Ethiopia, Madagascar, DR Congo, and the Philippines), asylum seekers, and migrants:
     -   in a staggeringly imbecilic and unhelpful move, an asylum seeker in Australia’s gulag in the PNG will be charged for having attempted suicide (is the PNG really so backward?);     criticism of Australia’s inhumane “Home Affairs” Minister for persistent “manipulation” of the truth over asylum seekers;     a former detainee in Australia’s Manus gulag has told the UN that “human beings are being destroyed”, and there isn’t a day to lose;     as POTUS45 looks to Australia’s bigotry and hate, an outcry has led to asylum seeker children in the USA who had been forcibly separated from their parents being removed from barbaric prison conditions;     “to disestablish these camps anywhere, we need to oppose them everywhere”;     a call for the audit of the security contract for Australia’s Manus gulag to be made public;     “no connection between immigration and rape . . . increasing reports of rape is driven by decreasing social tolerance for sexual assault and rape”;     one migrant/asylum seeker/refugee child a day dies . . . ;     criticism of POTUS45’s current policies and requirements on asylum seekers from the south – and a judge has stopped him accessing $2.5 billion for building his wall;     “the European Court of Justice (ECJ) recently ruled that European Union (EU) member nations no longer have the right to deport a refugee for committing a serious crime, as long as the refugee can prove that returning to the home country would threaten his or her life”;
     -   other refugee-related matters have also occurred in:   Europe;
• With regard to other human (and other) rights and discrimination     (incidentally, NOT all people choose to discriminate so those that do aren’t thinking clearly):
     -   other human rights matters have also occurred in:   Indonesia,   West Asia;
     on HOMOPHOBIA/TRANSPHOBIA     (including heteronormativity and cisgender-normativity and noting that trans kids are the same as cis kids of the trans kids’ true gender):
     -   “Tasmania could become the first state to criminalise ‘gender normalisation’ surgeries” for intersex children;
     -   other homophobic/transphobic matters have also occurred in:   Norway (good news),   Chile,   Costa Rica (good news);

     -   also on child abuse, including institutional, this week:   Italy,   Ivory Coast;
     -   also on slavery / human trafficking this week:   Cambodia,   Brazil (a Reuters exclusive),   UK (good news);
     on SEXISM this week (keeping in mind the overblown influence given to testosterone, and the potential value to women of using anger):
     -   a call for a more nuanced understanding of domestic violence;
     -   on sexual harassment/misconduct/violence this week, see:   a ride sharing service;
     -   other sexism matters have also occurred in:   sport (good news),   Pakistan;
     on WORKERS’ rights this week:
     -   portable long service benefits in my home state;
     on ANIMALS’ rights this week:

     -   an NDIS-supplied wheelchair has broken speed limits in one Australian territory;     “NDIS sent letters to vision-impaired and blind people in format they could not read”;

General Comments/Information

(Dear Reader, please remember, I expect you to THINK when reading this blog, and I reserve the right to occasionally sneak in something to test that)

Many others are very capably doing this type of work – for instance, the Lucis Trust's Triangles network (running for many decades);     the Correllian Tradition's 'Spiritual War for Peace' (see also here, 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 (running for decades);     the “CE 5  ET contact“ movement started by Dr Steven M Greer, which is the one which appears to most capitalise on the teachings of “The Nine”,     the “Network of Light”  meditations;     the 1 Million Meditators movement,     and     also see here, here and here – even commercial organisations (for instance, see here), online groups (e.g. here and here – which I do not know the quality of) and even an app.

Thus, if you don't like what I am suggesting here, but want to be of service, there are many other opportunities for you – including secular opportunities: e.g., see here, here and here.

Again, activism in the physical world is also required - see here, here and here, here, and, of course, here.

(I specifically have a role for healers on Saturdays. Anyone who wishes to be protector has a role every day. At all times, on all levels and in ways, BOTH must ALWAYS be BPM in the way they perform such roles.)

If I am ever late getting my Psychic Weather Report up any week, there is a default plan.
