Post No. 1,575 - Magickal Battle of the World - Weekly Meditation - Week No. 8 - Progress

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 (with the denialists being, at the very least, the WW3 equivalents of Quisling, Vichy France, etc), 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. 8 - Progress

Progress is not linear, nor steady.

Probably the best example of that is the fight against slavery, which was first banned in around 2,500 BCE. Those who want to continue to abuse slaves fought back - most recently in a major way that most people may consider obvious in the US Civil War, but there was actually more slavery in the Second World War.

In addition, since then, those who want to continue to abuse slaves have adapted their techniques, leading to the necessity for laws against modern slavery.

Those laws against modern slavery raise the points to be made in this post.

Firstly, when progress does not go continuously the way you wish, or at a rate you wish, remember the lessons of determination: do not be disheartened - in ancient Empires, slaves constituted a significant number of the population (I’ve generally read between one tenth and one third), but now slaves are, as a proportion of the total population of most nations, much smaller.

Secondly, remember the lessons of caution, respect and integrity (better termed “cunning”, perhaps). Those who are seeking to maintain things as they are, or to resist change that they are uncertain of, or the smaller number who actively and deliberately want to cause harm, will equally try to use their skills to the best of their ability, and will adapt.

In the area of slavery, their adaptations led to a need for the laws against modern slavery - which were the adaptation in response.

Progress is being made, but it is not smooth or consistent.

Don’t expect it to be, and be prepared - calmly - to adapt intelligently in response.

Remember to think about momentum - use it when it goes our way, and plan patiently and persistently to change it when it goes the other way.

Above all else, remember that we are not alone. Overall, people tend far more to good than bad (Rutger  Bregman's "Humankind" (Bloomsbury, 2020, ISBN 978-1-4088-9896-3, Amazon) gives some great evidence on this. On top of that, those who follow this blog know that I am of the view that we all have BPM  Guides or similar - even the worst of us have positive influences, maybe on the nonphysical only, maybe struggling against other influences, but they are there - and they persist.

It may be two steps forward, one slide back, but, if you are prepared for that, it is easier to persist.

I have not created particular designs for this week. Instead I’ve chosen to repost those I mentioned in the text. 

Determination 

Caution, respect and integrity

Momentum 

Together 

Previous meditations in this sequence are:

1.       Introduction, definition of the problem(s), and Realisation;

2.       Determination;

3.       Together;

4.       Caution, respect and integrity (aka cunning);

5.       Momentum;

6.       Insight;

7.       Preciseness.

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 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);

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

 - 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.
