I have been writing about improving the
world through a range of means on my blogs: this blog has been focused on
spiritual and psychic means, including strengthening BPM units and clearing
nonBPM units, and meditation to generate BPM energy (and units, if you know
enough).
This has been done before - particularly
during times of crisis.
The climate crisis has been our
World War III for some time, and we now have the COVID-19 pandemic,
caused by the zoonotic SARS-CoV-2
novel coronavirus(there
are other novel coronaviruses), on top of that.
World War II was probably the biggest global
crisis before our current dual crises, and during those terrible events, there
were a number of people undertaking magickal work, including the work by Dion Fortune (there
were others) outlined in the Gareth Knight edited
book "The Magical Battle of Britain" (my copy pub. Skylight Press, 2012, ISBN
978-1-908011-45-9), which I reviewed here. Ms Fortune directed her team through a series of 136
weekly and (I think) 19 monthly meditations (I originally intended to
publish a list at some stage, but it’s so long and comprehensive that I’m
concerned about breaching copyright, so I may either see if I can find an
online list, or publish something listing the broad themes only). At the
end of this, she was exhausted, and that work is considered to have contributed
to her death, but a change for the better had been accomplished.
We already have a lot of people
doing a lot of work on making the world a better place (including before
the current crises), but I would like to extend my contribution to also
include a series of weekly - or near weekly - meditations along the line of
those directed by Ms Fortune.
I am proposing this be added to the Sunday
meditations which are part of my regular psychic work. For convenience, an
outline of the meditation is provided at the end of this post.
The notes on each week’s meditation will probably
be brief to the point of being terse.
This Week: No. 5 - Momentum: be cognisant of momentum as both a problem and a strength
There is something that people in the sports
world talk a great deal about, and to a lesser extent people in other areas -
including politics, and that is momentum.
Loosely worded, in the physics sense this
is the concept of the difficulty of changing velocity once something is moving.
More broadly, I could describe that as the
difficulty of changing either an acquired characteristic, or acquiring a characteristic
you don’t have.
To illustrate, consider changing a habit.
The habit is tendency to continue doing something the same way - in a sense,
the momentum of not changing (one of the Dresden Files novels [Cold Days] has
a discussion about a “conservation of [the momentum of] history” when
considering time travel). Establishing a routine of doing something a new
way is the act of establishing a mental and emotional momentum in a new
direction.
So initially, the momentum of doing things
the old way is a problem; after you’ve got the change underway, the momentum of
doing things the new way is a benefit.
Achieving change through social movements
can be considered in many ways, but one way of viewing them is through the
umbrella of momentum - as in, does the movement have enough momentum, whether
from lots of people doing a little or a small people doing enough, to achieve the
change they are after?
Of course, part of the answer to that
question also involves considering what actions they are undertaking, how
quickly and widely the ideas are spreading, and so on.
The move to allow women to vote was
initially quite small, but the idea slowly spread, and then started spreading
more effectively, and then become a powerful movement with lots of social
momentum that led to success.
Similarly, the movements against slavery,
racism, LGBTIQ+phobias, etc - all of which still have varying distances to go
to success in this flawed world.
Another example would be getting a small (one
person) business going: there comes a time when word-of-mouth and
advertising starts to build a momentum of enquiries and work - a time when it
is critical not to stop (by, for example, taking a holiday), as that
will kill the momentum and thus kill the business.
Note I have not considered whether the
business is good or not.
If I look at the world from the point of
view of a progressive agenda, progressivism built up quite a bit of momentum in
the 60s and 70s, but then neoliberalism fought back in the 80s and 90s and has
held the world under its sway ever since.
Fortunately, the pandemic is getting people
to rethink their addiction to the lies of that evil philosophy.
So momentum is a characteristic that can be
used for good or bad. You can gain or lose momentum, and your opposition can
gain or lose momentum - sometimes at your expense, and sometimes because of
actions you take (or fail to take - e.g., the equivalent of killing a one
person business by taking a holiday at the wrong stage).
In trying to make the world a better place,
we have to build up our momentum, and erode, abrade, and reduce
the momentum of those trying to keep things as they are, or trying to make
things worse.
There are a lot of ways to go about that,
but those are for other posts. For now, consider the various aspects and issues
of momentum.
PS - from "Blueprint for Revolution: how to use rice pudding, Lego men, and other non-violent techniques to galvanise communities, overthrow dictators, or simply change the world" by Srdja Popovic and Matthew Miller (Amazon):
"If you ask Colonel Helvey, Frodo Baggins, or anyone else who has ever fought a war, momentum is everything. You spend the first half of your struggle building it up, and the second half keeping it up. Even if you have no plan whatsoever, even if you’re allergic to bullet points and flowcharts and all the other methods of thinking systemically, even if you’re perfectly happy just flying by the seat of your pants, you should at least strive to make sure that everything you do serves to keep up momentum."An audio version of the post can be found on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCi-dbBthkc.
Previous meditations in this sequence are:
1.
Introduction, definition of the problem(s), and Realisation;
2.
Determination;
3.
Together;
- appropriate and responsible protection (see here, here, here), prayer and ritual (e.g., here) to establish and check protection (re-do the protection, or re-schedule the meditation, if you don’t feel safe and secure);- establish a personal connection to your 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 - or, on Sunday, the group of symbols provided);- strengthen those feelings (energies);- radiate those energies to the world for nine to eighteen minutes;- then, on Sunday, also perform the additional meditation work for around 15 minutes or so: contemplate the topic, and the spiritual (i.e., nonphysical) implications of it, and seek insights and understanding. Do not be distracted by thoughts of physical actions - those are necessary also, but this exercise is about the nonphysical, in the broadest possible sense, and the focus should be on nonphysical actions, energy flows, symbols, and the like, all with the intention of bringing about a change for the better. As a second stage, if you wish, you can meditate on any physical actions which may be necessary, but get the spiritually focused work done first;- when finished, close your chakras, centre and ground 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.
