Black Lives Matter!
Stay safe - wash your hands, practice social distancing and wear a face mask in public, 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.
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. 31 - Inspiration - bringing out the best in a group
This is where some of Dion Fortune’s lessons from her psychic work in World War Two - for those who can afford to buy the book (still annoyingly not available in a digital version) - can potentially be of some value, although one has to filter out the racist and paternalistic aspects.
The aim and the challenge here is:
how do you inspire a group to be better than they think they can be?
This is discussed a little in the film “Invictus” - in particular, the scenes where Nelson Mandela and François Pienaar interact, but also the scene where Mandela reverses the decision of a sporting body to change the name and symbol of South African sports teams.
To some extent, I tend towards acting as if it was settled that the group can be “better”, and act as if they are. To illustrate that with some analogies, in a parenting situation, you would act as if a child already was already in the habit of regularly cleaning their room, and be surprised when they didn’t; in a workplace, you might be surprised if a team member doesn’t do a work plan after you had mentioned something along the lines of “I’ll assume you will do the work plan”. (I’ve also used this is various personal interactions - for instance, with an ex on financial maturity.) The keys are, after ensuring any training to develop necessary skills has been completed and support resources are in place, to make sure that you state the assumption first, and then respond in an appropriate way - especially if the person does not deliver: you must not be sarcastic, paternalistic, or self pitying (as in “oh alright, I’ll do that then”).
Similar expectations apply to groups - as illustrated by the film version of Mandela in “Invictus”.
There is another example from a biography of Gandhi that I quite like, where, in the space of around three sentences, Gandhi takes a discussion about a problem up to a spiritual perspective. (I won’t try to find that - I only have a hard copy of that biography, and it is still buried in storage somewhere - and I don’t recall that in the three hours or so long film.)
To do this, it is necessary that you are secure and comfortable in your own perspectives on the issue - in other words, as always, “Know Thyself”, do your shadowwork, and develop your knowledge and skills.
For the work covered in this series of posts, to help inspire this sort of outcome in others, what is necessary is:
- meditate;
- generate the calm confidence in others’ ability to do X (in this case, be better than they realise they can be - but more specificity would help achieve a better outcome);
- radiate that calm confidence (expectation is too pushy - it has to be a calm confidence);
- maintain that calm confidence and persist in doing this until the results manifest - even if it takes lifetimes.
Previous week’s work that would help here includes: Determination, Together, Momentum, Insight, Progress, Learning, Purposefulness, Faith, Proficiency, The humanness of the flaws that underlay opposition, Evolution, Perspective, Wisdom, Persistence, Inspiration (bringing out the best in individual people), and Inspiration (bringing out the best in oneself).
This week’s bindrune is, again,
inspiration.
If I get it done in time, an audio version of the post can be found on YouTube at https://youtu.be/obn23rI1wI4.

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;
- visualise the sigil (see above) for this work. Think of what this work means for you as you do so, then, when you feel you have fully tuned in to the meaning of the sigil, see it as a portal or doorway (you could open it like a door [close it behind you], simply pass through it, visualise yourself shrinking and passing through the centre, or whatever else works best for you), and travel through to to a place created by the visualisation of yourself and others for this work. That place should have:
(a) a visualisation of the workplace you personally prefer - something you can change, if you wish, as you yourself change; and
(b) a shared visualisation of a device to astrally share our knowledge, something developed in a previous project (still active astrally): a visualisation of a large, green, multifaceted emerald. Large: around half the size of the Moon; multifaceted - billions, for all people who wish to be part of this at any time; green - largely tied up with the previous project, but has connotations of nature and growth. One of those facets is yours - choose whatever location and shape you wish (and you may change that as you change [grow] over time), but in the interest of humility and sharing, see it at around human - or human aura - size;- flush one's aura with green (R0, G102, B0), blue (R0, G0, B204) and purple (R153 G0, B204);
- fill one’s Heart Chakra (and maybe one’s Earth Star, Solar Plexus, Third Eye and Crown Chakras) with green, blue and purple; send a weave of three streams of this colour from the Chakra(s) to the visualised gigantic, multi-faceted emerald 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 you have finished your work:
(i) send the thought of any knowledge you wish to store or share through your portal into the group visualised emerald;
(ii) return back through the sigil; and
(iii) 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.
