Post No. 1,524 - Friendships at a time of stress

I did an interview today for the Trans Day of Visibility. In that, one question was about what group had been most supportive: my answer was - my friends.

In the course of transitioning, I found a few people I had thought were friends weren't - and I was reminded of that by a Tweet today, in which someone had called out a hoarder, and been blocked as a result.

In that instance, the hoarder had shown they weren't a decent person. The hoarder had decided to end the "friendship", and I agree with those who consider it an acceptable loss - and it will be a double loss, both of whatever  was good about their interactions, as well as the loss of illusions about the person concerned.

I was, however, staggered by those who supported the hoarder.

It is times like this that people's true colours show through: some shine, some don't.

I'm pleased that my friends, some family and some family of choice, have shone.

PS - that evening I re-watched the film "Pride", and was deeply moved - as always with that film (especially the ending). However, I've now got the wonderful song "Bread and Roses" running through my mind . . . could be worse - and I'm certainly not going to try the trick of singing the British anthem to kill that earworm. 

Post No. 1,523 –This Week’s Psychic Work

Stay safe - wash your hands, practice social distancing, and follow informed medical advice - and be considerate towards those at risk or in situations of vulnerability (including economic) while the COVID-19 pandemic is a problem.

This week, nonBPM energy is concentrated in the USA (no doubt contributing to the ineptness with which they are “responding” to the pandemic), and extending in a band across the north eastern coast of South America and the South Atlantic Ocean to southern Africa. There is a further concentration of nonBPM energy in northern Siberia - along the coast. BPM energy is highest in the Indian and North Atlantic Oceans.

My approach this week therefore 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 Pacific Ocean, the Arctic, north Atlantic Ocean, Indian and Southern Oceans, Antarctica, Australia and South East Asia, 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 and West Asia, northern and central Africa, and Europe including European Russia;
• Tuesday:
   - clear nonBPM units from, and send BPM energy to Central and East Asia, and Siberia;
• Wednesday:
   - clear nonBPM units from, and send BPM energy to southern Africa, the South Atlantic Ocean and adjoining coastlines, and North America (especially the USA);
• Thursday:
   - clear nonBPM units from, and send BPM energy to southern Africa, the South Atlantic Ocean and adjoining coastlines, and North America (especially the USA);
• Friday:
   - clear nonBPM units from, and send BPM energy to disrupt the group minds/egregores (especially on and through social media) that are promoting selfishness and rabid individualism at the expense of being a decent human and an overall better society, and the fear, emotional scars, false and lack of perceptions and other factors that are the foundation for such retrograde existences, and BPM neutralise, reverse, clear and/or rescue all persons casting doubt or misdirection over COVID-19, or using the pandemic for personal gain/acquisition of power or other evil;
• 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.

I’ve selected the following bindrune for this week’s work:

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. 1,522 - In this week’s news

Stay safe - wash your hands, practice social distancing, and follow informed medical advice - and be considerate towards those at risk or in situations of vulnerability (including economic) while the COVID-19 pandemic is a problem.

This is a new, very cut down series of posts based on some observations on matters that struck a personal note: unlike the former “Gnwmythr’s News”, it is not trying to convey key events.

Content Warning: the linked articles and their descriptions here may be about violence, abuse, hate, and other problems.

My articles this week include:   an article on a psychic exercise for others’ wellbeing that I will be using during the pandemic.

This week:   the need to improve online teaching at Universities;   the problem of mis-remembering warnings against fake news as an endorsement of the fake news;   “The coronavirus exposed America’s authoritarian turn - independent expertise always dies first when democracy recedes”.

In the environmental arena:   Indonesia’s plastic and other wastes problem;   a third mass bleaching event in the Great Barrier Reef;   thoughts on improving marine parks;   camels may become key in animal husbandry (but please consider vegetarianism or, better yet, veganism);   with 90% of protected forests in the east of my home state devastated, calls to bring forward the phasing out of logging;   last summer’s bushfires caused at least 400 extra deaths;   confirmation of the blindingly obvious: electric cars ARE BETTER for the environment (some ****wits claimed manufacturing GHGs were more significant than a lifetime of usage);   a call to reduce water use;   an alternative to intensive farming;   wind power has increased by 20% over the last year;   Europe’s green deal “still matters”;   “fossil-fuel giant Russia tiptoes towards [a] low-carbon future”.

On human and animal rights:
   shipping containers have been turned into affordable homes in Spain;
   the (1995) concept of “stereotype threat” - “where people feel themselves to be at risk of conforming to stereotypes about groups that they identify as belonging to”;
   prejudice is stopping qualified disabled people get jobs;
   how to improve the home rental market for older people;
   Egypt is disappearing and torturing children;   after more than a year of abusing him in detention, China will now charge an Australian man - and possibly execute him;   continued oppression of West Papuan activists by Indonesia;
   reflections on institutional bias (sexism);
   Singapore is easing its anti-pet stance to allow some rescue dogs;
   thoughts on ensuring human control over autonomous weapons.
trafficking/slavery/child abuse matters (good and bad) have occurred in:   Italy (an arrest),   the Internet;
LGBTIQ+ matters (good and bad) have occurred in:   USA (more transphobia).

In the governance, politics, and society arena:   the clarity of New Zealand’s Prime Minister’s communication is a major asset;   staggering hypocrisy by a neoliberal government minister;   a critique of conservatives’ lies;   the Australian neoliberal “government” will have to repay half a billion dollars over the Robodebt catastrophe . . . I wonder how they’re going to make up for the people driven to suicide by their viciousness? And how do those who carried the policy out sleep at night?;   the responses to the current COVID-19 pandemic show the ALP’s response to the GFC was right;   months after the start, Australia’s public service has been asked to get ready for the pandemic . . . .

On disasters this week:   Croatia experienced an earthquake while under COVID-19 lockdown;   survivors of a cyclone a year ago are still without help.

Risks of atrocities this week in:   Yemen, South Sudan, Mali.

Internationally:   “Women in rural Kyrgyzstan bring change through water, technology and better infrastructure”;   North Korea has fired  more ballistic missiles (for internal distraction?);   two aid workers have been murdered in Yemen;   a former Tibetan political prisoner has died of ill health caused by abuse by his Chinese captors;   concerns about Nepal’s attempt to control (suppress?) NGOs;   some Russians are standing up to Putin;   concerns about gang violence in New Zealand;   a call for the 1994 Israel-Jordan treaty to be revived, despite evil influences of POTUS45 (and others);   there is a possibility that two violent extremist groups could join together;   protests have resumed in Hong Kong;   as deaths still occur in Kandahar, the Afghan government and misogynistic violent extremists are communicating by internet over the “peace” deal - see here over what could happen if the USA pulls out before a peace deal is in place, including what could influence those options;   an eastern European regional scheme, akin to China’s BRI, that would improve that region’s situation, but also balance out Russia’s threat and Turkey’s influence;   a prediction the war in Libya will “haunt” the “blinkered” West;   Turkey has charged 20 Saudis over the gruesome murder of a journalist;   the US has made a stupid attempt to topple Maduro in Venezuela, rather than focusing on the people’s needs;   the pandemic may bring peace to Yemen, with a ceasefire agreed for now by the various parties;   China has said it wants better relations with the USA;   Taiwan is less likely to reunify with mainland China following the stuff ups over COVID-19.

In Africa:   an Australian woman who spend six decades helping women in Ethiopia has passed away;   Uganda has its first COVID-19 case;   a second  round of locusts;   fatalities in violence as Guinea tries to vote in a referendum;   the dispute over the Nile dam is spreading;   opportunities for South Africa to resume taking a lead in the quest for peace;   an opposition leader in Mali has been kidnapped;   the COVID-19 pandemic will affect future politics;   a coronavirus ceasefire in Cameroon.

On COVID-19 (seven major risks to watch here):   Greta Thunberg has pointed out the pandemic has shown that the world CAN react quickly;   thoughts on how the world will be different after the pandemic;
   good stories of people coming together: here, Spain, teddy bear hunts for children, here;   some people are enjoying more home time;   a free Pagan colouring-in book;   free online courses;
   medical aspects: an EXCELLENT  diagram placing COVID-19 in context with other diseases;   there is a possibility of acquiring an immunity - and thus not contracting this twice;   kids and young people can and do contract this - and some do die;   details of more missed warnings are emerging - such as this 2015 book;   the WHO has called for public health measures beyond lockdowns (identify all those with the SARS-CoV-2 virus) to prevent a future resurgence;   actions must reach everyone - including minorities;   the pandemic is still accelerating;   the coming post-COVID-19 “pandemic of severe depression and anxiety that will sweep over the world as the unemployment rate pushes into previously unseen digits, families who’d prefer to be socially distant are thrust together and young people are denied the certainty and structure of school”;   some idiot nurses think they are a substitute for family when a patient dies;   a comparison of approaches;   a pre-pandemic examination of contagion risks in cities . . . ;   “flattening the curve” means ultimately 60% infected and a herd immunity to prevent a recurrence as opposed to the attempted eradication being attempted in New Zealand;   Germany’s lower death rate may be connected to higher nurse ratios;
   on human rights aspects: a health insurance company is trying to exclude people with COVID-19;   UN Women is monitoring the impact on women and girls - and, sadly, from past events this is likely to be severe - including in Asia;   far right extremists are trying to weaponise the virus;   the gap between Indigenous and non-indigenous people still applies;   the lockdown is exposing the digital divide;   more concerns about a possible permanent loss of digital privacy;   the risk of a freedom backslide;   terrifying details collected by “smart” phones;   another article on the looming disaster in refugee camps in morally backward Greece - and problems generally in Europe;   authoritarian (despotic?) Cambodia - and Thailand and Egypt -  is using the pandemic as an excuse to further restrict free speech;   missionaries are putting isolated tribes at risk;   Qatar’s migrant workers are being locked into a camp;   two US states are trying to use the pandemic to stop forms of health care and to implement  discrimination;   Hungary is also using the pandemic as an excuse to further crush freedom;   Norway’s workers objected to paying for the lockdown - and won;   the holding of an election in Singapore is at risk;   a call for physical distancing to also include time separation;   a reminder that civil rights suppressions to manage COVID-19 must be temporary;
   resources: rental assistance resources at here, here, and here;   why we make poor ethical decisions, and how to manage that;   a site to debunk myths;   suggestions for business leaders;   what banks are doing;   rules in various (Australian) states here;   relief packages - see also here, info on delays here;
   Australia: as my nation passes a milestone moment, my home state is providing home deliveries for those who cannot get out, but also creating a police taskforce (see here on militarisation, which does NOT help with crime and sets up barriers with members of the public). We could control the outbreak by July if most people stayed home;   we have a historical precedent for banning evictions;   more changes to Centrelink rules but Australia’s vicious neoliberal government PLANNED to NOT tell welfare recipients when they were cut off . . . ;   two Australian states are acting ahead of the national government, but schools are still a point of confusion;   internal states are closing their borders - which is legal, in this instance;   after this, the airline industry will be different;   more stimulus of Australia’s economy - but Parliament has to sit to enable this to happen, and analysis here;   a billionaire is bragging about “doing a roaring trade” the community (comments I’ve seen on social media suggest his reputation has sunk lower as a result, and several people are vowing to avoid his companies);   responses in Australia would be discriminatory if the Mediaeval Theocracy Re-establishment bill proposed by the Morrison “government” was in force;   temporary visa holders need help;   some prisoners need to be released;   rapid testing has been approved;   house prices could fall;   the issuing of refunds will be watched;   some prisoners will be released;   a call for the data to be made public;   the arrogance, selfishness and stupidity of some students - and those in the elitist schools;   farmers in remote areas are having to drive for eight hours to get enough supplies because of supermarket rules;   disabled people may wind up dying in poverty;   Israeli anti-Palestinian acts are threatening public health;   criticism of how Australia is handling compulsory isolation;
   internationally: a call to end to sanctions on Iran to allow the pandemic to be effectively fought (there is bloody-mindedness on both sides there);   Germany is banning groups of more than two;   doctors in Russia are making accusations of a government coverup;   a catastrophe is looming in Europe’s biggest refugee camp;   an Italian town has shown the benefit of mass testing - and a call for wider testing in Australia;   industry in India - where social ostracism is becoming a problem but social isolation conditions are being tightened, although that is IMPOSSIBLE for the poor and a catastrophe is looming -  wants a stimulus package;   tens of thousands of tribal workers in India have had to walk hundreds of km to get home (state disaster funds will now be used for them);   actions in Sri Lanka;   Venezuela has arrested a journalist who was reporting on the pandemic;   “Israel’s caging of Gaza is a recipe for coronavirus disaster”;   as young black men are being found dead are being disappeared by police, Brazilians have been protesting the “muddled” response of their despotic Trump-lite “leader”;   doctors in the war-torn northwest of Syria are bracing for the pandemic;   Israel - which is still struggling to form a government (those in power are putting staying in power ahead of democracy . . . and have now moved away from a unity government to the old conservative despotism), against  background of concerns about democracy and a court order to the Speaker to respect democracy - will shift some prisoners to home detention, is considering a tighter lockdown - focusing on the elderly, and is looking at 25% unemployment (the USA, which now has a larger economic package, might reach 30%);   Italy continues to suffer, with a death rate higher than China’s, but Germany’s is low;   the USA is misdirecting funds to the clueless POTUS45’s wall project;   Spain - where the last survivor of the 1918-19 flu epidemic has urged people to be careful - has declared a State of Emergency;   Singapore has closed its borders;    against a background of some doubt (caution?) over whether it has beaten the virus (it has closed its border to more categories of people), China has started trials of a possible vaccine;   rough sleepers in London have been given hotel rooms;   POTUS45 is showing more signs of being a ****wit - yet again;   anger in Italy at “lockdown dodgers;   the olympics are likely to be postponed;   Malaysia may increase its lockdown and stimulus measures;   China has upped its spat with the USA over journalism;   as water shutoffs are paused in the USA, the lockdown is raising concerns about water shortages in Jordan - and the ability to wash hands globally;   mixed responses in Africa (Mali, Burkina Faso, Rwanda, Nigeria), where COVID-19 cases have included peacekeeping troops and young people with HIV will bear the brunt, and “public distrust hampers Africa fight against virus misinformation”;   concerns about Mexico;   lockdown in UK - and a call for volunteers (our local MP here in Australia made a similar call a couple of weeks ago);   Singapore is working with six nations to maintain the flow of goods;   gangs in Brazil are imposing a lockdown;   Germany’s aid package includes the arts;   a list of US policy responses;   “preppers” are feeling vindicated;   another large Australian company is abusing its workers;   civic technology helped Taiwan;   parts of the US have banned evictions;   an opinion that POTUS45’s “narcissism” has cost lives;
   globally: a call for a global ceasefire to allow the pandemic to be addressed - which has already happened in Libya;   the global economic impact as nearly one billion people are confined to their homes - and maybe a recovery in 2021;   big government may be back - certainly the provision of services is being appreciated;   a comparison of economic responses;   the UN will create a global fund for developing nations;   the risks facing delivery drivers - who are now crucial;   the US culture of arrogance and selfishness is contributing to their incompetence;   a detailed criticism of the US economic response;   another call for UBI;   Mexico wants to stop Americans coming in over the latter’s health risks.

On personal / spiritual matters:   thoughts on maintaining spiritual practice during the COVID-19 pandemic;   from historical precedents, keeping a plague diary;   a long article (I haven’t finished it yet) on considerateness;   an Australian Indigenous approach to healing: “listening in silence”;   an article on shielding which is similar to what I use.

Reading I found interesting this week included:   “for the full life experience, put down all devices and walk".
