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 - and I’ve found this group working at following [and adapting] Ms Fortune’s techniques and purposes), 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. 39 - How to find a direction for a constructive, evolutionary response
As an initial step, re-read last week’s post “knowing what changes need to be made now and on a long term basis”, and also the posts on progress and evolution, and my definitions of spiritual evolution and spiritual maturity.
What I want to do this week is get into some spiritually focused aspects on that.
I will be basing this post on where I am at spiritually: you may differ.
My key values here are:
- “Life” is complex - it has an enormous variety,
and it can sometimes be difficult to see what is truly good or harmful.
As an example, removing wolves from a national park in the USA was a disaster.
As another example, many dire predictions (along “the end is nigh”) have been made a whole range of things over time - including abolishing slavery, interracial marriage, allowing people to change their religion or becoming an atheist, allowing women to vote, allowing equal pay, paying workers a decent wage, television, even things like searching for uranium (although it is a harmful substance as we’re using it, some nongs when I was growing up suggested hitting ground with uranium in it with a hammer would cause a nuclear explosion . . . ); - What is best for life overall, including for
humans and for human society, is finding a way to take advantage of the
strengths of that variety, rather than condemn it out of fear or stupidity.
Allowing people to be their authentic selves at work best helps companies perform well.
Allowing women to work equally, and the economy benefits from unfettered access to unfettered resources - including creativity and different perspectives/ ways of thinking.
Allowing a range of views to be discussed civilly, and people can potentially be better informed and thus make better decisions. - Political parties and processes can be harmed by
various problems - such as fascism, white supremacism and other forms of
fear/hate based hate, addiction to power at all costs (as seen in recent
years in the USA), and judging people on irrelevancies or minor matters.
In many cases, politics is not a major issue for those seeking to make the world a better place, but all too often it is - for instance, when politics allowed slavery, or the oppression of women and minorities (which it often still does), or fascism became a major influence (e.g., Germany in the 1930s, and the USA in the last few years).
Under such circumstances, it is a lie to claim that both sides are equivalent, or “they’re all alike”, or “they’re all only after power”. That sort of cynicism is so simple-minded it would be rejected at kindergarten. And it is actively anti-spiritual.
The proper role of conservatism is to avoid throwing out the baby with the bathwater, or making spurious changes for change’s sake; the proper role of progressivism is evolving to a better world. (And the tropes about ownership of the means of production and the conflation of socialism with communism are outdated and wrong, respectively.)
These processes are flawed- but that does not mean one throws the baby out with the bathwater, it means one looks at the nuance, and becomes comfortable with complexity.
I discuss this on my political blog. - Trying to separate spirituality / psychic work
from everyday life, including politics, is a mistake.
The goal of things like meditation retreats (which can be a valid tool) are to enable one to live more effectively in the real world. Pema Chodron writes of a monk who, after years of meditating, went down into a market, and, when a small boy stepped on his foot, became angry, so he immediately turned around and went back up into the mountains to spend a few more years meditating.
On the other hand, there is also a need to time out from the pace and pressure of life - particularly modern industrialised life. - Personal flaws that resist being empathic or compassionate are problems to be overcome; resistance to inclusivity or progressivism / change, or fear/inability to be comfortable with complexity/nuance are actively harmful conditions that must be actively BPM resisted.
- Many established religious organisations have
become old without becoming mature, and thus are in the same category as conservative
political parties that have become fascistic or beholden to white supremacists.
Both need to be actively resisted, just all bigotry in its many forms and its underlying causes needs to be actively resisted. - Actions that create a world where it is possible for people to realise their potential without having to fight arbitrary problems such as unequal access to resources, or focus on survival, are good.
- One must always be comfortable with emotions, and working with emotions.
- Value not just easy-way-out, superficial options such as looking for formal qualifications, but also people’s character, experience, ability to know when to compare and draw on past situations & lessons / when things are new and different and require a new approach / when circumstances have changed and it is time to revisit past lessons.
- The main thing to perfect is our ability to learn.
- This physical reality came into existence so we
could be compelled to come into contact with, and learn co-exist and thrive/flourish
with, that which is incompatible, but not inherently evil.
In the astral, we exist on frequencies, and thus do not easily come into contact with people who are different. By creating this physical reality, the Universe is doing the equivalent of getting two notes or colours or scents that aren’t quite harmonious to come together and learn how to make it work.
Evil came out of a failure to cope with that - a failure which led to the fearful discomfort of difference being labelled evil as an excuse to act with evil intent. - “tough love”, in the overwhelming majority of cases, is destructive rubbish.
- Love is not enough: we need more than good intent, we need understanding, communication, application of our skills, and adaptation in response to hat has or hasn’t happened.
These points are meant to give you a basis for starting t analyse events and opportunities.
By all means adapt them on the basis of your lived experience - provided that does not involve harming other sentient life.

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.
