Post No. 1,611 - Magickal Battle of the World - Weekly Meditation - Week No.14 - Proficiency - and a preview of a symbol

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. 14 - Proficiency - and a preview of a symbol

Proficiency

Last week I mentioned “elsewhere on this blog”, which is as good a moment as any to start making a passing reference to the techniques that I cover on this blog - and it will take time for those who are new to this blog to learn and develop their proficiency with these skills.

The actual techniques are covered elsewhere on this blog, and a manual I wrote in the 80s is (mostly) available at https://regression-rescue.blogspot.com/. (I can also email a PDF to anyone who wishes - ask via the contact form.)

The key basic psychic techniques are, in my opinion:

·       Self-care (begin with nonphysical health, strength and wellbeing), protection, and preparation (see here - the pages are paired: a sequence of steps on one side, and the facing page in the hard copy had explanatory comments. I once started retyping and updating this [particularly the terminology], but haven’t the time, energy, nor, frankly, given the low interest, inclination to progress that further);

·       Understanding and working with emotions (see also Karla  McLaren’s “The Language of Emotions” [Pub. Sounds True, Boulder, 2010, ISBN 978-1-59179-897-2, Sounds True, Amazon, Readings] );

·       Healing (see here and here);

·       Checking (see here); and

·       Clearing (see here and here).

Other key psychic techniques are:

·       Spiritual application of psychism (see towards the end of this post, here, here, here, here);

·       Rescue (see here, here, here, here, and here).

There are other techniques as well, and you can find those throughout this blog, but those of particular relevance can be found here.

The key group matters are, in my opinion:

·       learning how to work as an effective group, which we have already covered to an extent, but see, from my online manual, here, here, here (when I redrew that, I put personal conscience at the top), here, here, here, and here, and, from other sources, here.

·       planning / preparing (see here, particularly here and here, for instance, but also the sequence of stories via here).

Read the links, and then plan how you wish to approach learning, developing and refining those techniques.

Preview: a symbol for this work

Now, something else that is worth considering at this - and should really be a separate post, but I am being guided to publish it now, so will use this post for two weeks - is a unifying symbol.

I mentioned the work that Dion Fortune - and others - did during World War Two: symbols and visualisations were a key part of that, and their symbols were largely based around connecting to sources of energy/power and bringing those to bear on a particular situation.

At that time, in that era, that was an appropriate and useful thing to do; now, however, many people know how to access and draw down - or up, or out, depending on what perspective you use (down tends to suggest you view spiritual forces as higher frequency, up may suggest you are working with the powerful energies of Mother Earth/Gaia, out suggests you are drawing from within yourself - drawing on your innermost/truest self) - power/spiritual influence: what is needed now is to continue developing the ability of us all to work together - to create a network or, to use an alternate word, a web.

The internet is an online web where people can network, but the concept of networking goes back much further. In a magickal sense, the Lucis Foundation’s Triangles network is an early example; more recently, our increasing environmental awareness has led to terms such as “the web of life” (which is different to the cycle of life).

And on that, there is a symbol which, for millennia, has illustrated the power of connecting small pieces that, of themselves are not particularly strong, into something stronger: the (spider’s) web.

A (spider’s) web:

·       Is built with patience and persistence;

·       Relies on the whole, so even if one connection fails (whether temporarily - e.g., needing time out - or longer), the whole stays effective - and gaps can be made good;

·       Catches (but not those who make it) - and I’d like you to consider a spider web in the early morning, when it has captured drops of dew, drawing in the power of water;

·       Has the power to let through - as a web lets the wind through without harm; and

·       Is founded solidly - generally in nature, on the branches of trees which are founded in earth.

After much meditation, and conferring in a range of ways with my Patron Deities, BPM Guides, Higher Self and various group minds (aka “egregores”), the symbol for this work will be a web.

I’ve provided my standard sigils below for that, but I will develop a personally drawn sigil. I’ve provided some free stock photos from https://www.pexels.com/search/spider%20web/ for now.

 
PS - the final sigil is below:

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;

8.       Progress;

9.       Learning;

10.   Purposefulness;

11.   Conciseness;

12.   Measurement;

13.   Faith.

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.
