Post No. 1,607 - Magickal Battle of the World - Weekly Meditation - Week No. 13 - Faith

Black Lives Matter!
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. 13 - Faith
One of the things about working with psychism, mediumship, guides and Paganism, is that, from time to time, something will be passed on to you that may seem strange.
Now, obviously (I hope), anything that harms others is rejected immediately - any influence along the lines of you need to commit physical/nonphysical harm against X is wrong.
That should be obvious to anyone who reads this blog seriously, but there are traps for spiritual / psychic people.
One is the “stop them from creating more negative karma for themselves” excuse - generally done in connection with a Tibetan sage who grabbed a bow and arrow and used that to kill a king for that reason. That is wrong for the following reasons:
a)       Other people’s karma is their problem, not yours;
b)      Your perception could be wrong, in which case you have created negative karma for yourself - including responsibility for whatever good your victim - I’ll repeat that: your VICTIM - could have done if you had not harmed them;
c)       The means shape the ends. Using a nonBPM means like deliberately harming others will, apart from the effects in the physical world, create a nonBPM psychic energy that taints what has been done - which is one of the many reasons non-violent action to change situations, including political despotism, is ALWAYS better in the long term than violence (see here for evidence on that).
Another is the stop-others-harming-other-people idea. In the physical world, that role should ONLY be performed by well trained (including in de-escalation), well equipped (including “less lethal” options”, and unbiased (both consciously and unconsciously) police. Unless you’re one of those and happen to be reading this blog, you have no ethical/moral and probably no legal (depending on what nation you’re in, and what the circumstances are) right to try using (proportionate) physical harm to stop physical harm - there’s a lot you can and should do, such as calling the police, supporting the victim(s) and generally being an ally rather than a passive bystander, but this blog is not the place to learn about that. (I’ve also stood between someone yelling and the person they were yelling at, but I’m going to urge careful consideration, caution, and care before doing that.)
Similarly, this blog does not cover emotional/mental/psychological harm: leave that also to the experts in that field (advice police should also take on board).
What this blog does cover is the use of psychic energies/objects/units (anyone who tires to use the broader definition of psychic is being fatuous, disingenuous and malicious), and how to ensure those units and their use is BPM - for more on that, see pretty much the entirety of this blog.
In the context of this post, if you get something that seems strange - say, use purple energy rather than green, you are allowed to ask for further information to clarify that (which may come in sleep state, or thought comments that others make, so pay attention). If it is minor and directly personal - for instance, drive home this way rather than that, it is permissible to test that. I have - and still do, from time to time, and find they’re right almost all of the time.  * Sigh *   
But ultimately, you have to be comfortable with your conscience (provided it is the voice of your Higher Self, not the voice of your social conditioning), so don’t let yourself get rushed, bullied, or railroaded into something you’re not happy with. There are others with the skills you have: even if you’re genuinely the most convenient person for a task, it is as rare as hen’s teeth for you to be the only person who can do a bit of psychic work (after all, physical distance does not exist on many nonphysical levels of existence).
So having got through all that preliminary material, there are times when you may be comfortable to follow, and have a reasonable basis for doing so, some unusual psychic guidance. As an example, I now rarely quibble over getting a sense that I should go a particular way - and that is partly because I have five decades of experience to back that up, AND also the skills required to check the impressions I get.
Incidentally, when I was learning an developing these skills, I wanted to check something and asked that, if it was correct, someone down the road raise their arm - and they did, immediately. That was the third check I had done, which also included a few ways to rule out the possibilities that Stuart Holroyd discusses in Chapter Nine of Briefing for the Landing on Planet Earth (pub. Corgi, 1979; ISBN 10: 0552109975, ISBN 13: 9780552109970).
So there are times when I, in a sense, act on faith - faith that my psychic impression is both accurate and correct. (And I would never follow any of the “harm others for reason X" stuff even if I did get it.)
There are also times when I know that events will take a long time, possibly generations in some cases, and having worked through such matters to the extent that I am satisfied with, I have made a commitment to do my share of those long term tasks, even though I may not get much - or, indeed, any - feedback of progress along the way.
This is the sense that I want to cover in this post: having faith that, despite the problems that arise from size, momentum, the skills of those who want things to stay as they are or become even worse, our need to learn and adapt, we  will  eventually  get the world to be a better place, even though it is sometimes on an erratic path. (PS - we also have to be realistic about regrets and problems - see this well-timed article by John Beckett.)
We don’t have to be fiercely determined all the time, we don’t have to be continuously and aggressively optimistic and/or upbeat, we just need to accept the lessons of history and the evidence of good guidance and the views of our better selves, and have some faith from time to time that the world and everyone on it will, eventually, get to a better place.
This may well be at times when others have worked out how to block our ability to communicate, or have succeeded in deceiving us - in other words, successfully used direct or indirect  psychic attack on us. Hate is exhausting; it can, with intelligent application of self-care, be outlasted - even if that takes years.
Previous meditations in this sequence are:
1.       Introduction, definition of the problem(s), and Realisation;

3.       Together;
4.       Caution, respect and integrity (aka cunning);
5.       Momentum;
6.       Insight;
7.       Preciseness;
8.       Progress;
9.       Learning;
11.   Conciseness;
12.   Measurement.

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.
