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 - 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. 41 - How to work with the various levels and aspects of oneself
As a first point, most of our being is on levels other than conscious - not only the unconscious or subconscious, which we may well share, to some extent, with the rest of humanity, but also our higher aspects - our “Soul”, or “Higher Self”.
There are quite a few ways of viewing the self: mine are probably best understood through my posts on chakras (and parallels or soul parts), but others are equally valid, and what is important for YOU, Dear Reader, is which system enables YOU to best work with all the various components of yourself.
Research, check the various systems out, cautiously try and check the results, and work your way safely - remembering to look after your nonphysical health, strength and wellbeing - to the method or methods that suit you.
When you’ve done that, adapt this technique accordingly.
For this post, I’m going to simplify what I use.
Firstly, what people tend to lump together as the “unconscious” I consider should be viewed as - at least - two separate categories:
- firstly, what can “properly” (?) be considered as our unconscious - the more instinctual (and some caring is instinctive, so don’t view that as a negative) and partly shared with our parallels and, to a lesser extent, all of humanity (Carl Jung wrote about this as the “collective unconscious”) and even - in my opinion - all of life (through a two way psychic connection “below” the awareness of many people), which also includes our repressed sections - those parts of our being that need to be worked on and incorporated (a little like the fierce deities in Tibet before Buddhism were incorporated as protectors deities) through shadow work, counselling, meditation, and a combination of those - and other - techniques; and
- secondly, our connection with etheric and natural forces - the sort of forces and entities and existences explored by shamanic journey to the underworld.
I use shamanic journeys to explore and work with the latter - remembering always to respect all that I encounter. Those entities and powers exist for their own purposes - not only to serve me, as some arrogant magick workers have assumed (particularly during the Middle Ages).
For the former, I use the techniques mentioned above, and also programming through genuine, believable, but positive affirmations. The best advice I had on that was to view that part of oneself as a very intelligent but slightly stubborn friend or acquaintance who needs patient, persistent, and credible persuasion.
If I view that as the means by which my parallels jointly influence us all, it is very much like the situation portrayed in the Netflix series “Sens8” - I am working with multiple other entities, with their own life experiences and, in their various incarnations, personalities, and I have to persuade us all to work together.
It’s good practice for life, actually.
Now, if we move on to those parts of ourself that reside in slightly higher frequency levels of reality, i.e., the astral, the techniques I use are:
- sleep state work;
- lucid dreaming;
- astral travel (most people mean etheric travel when they use this term, but that is different); and
- meditation focused on communication with our BPM Guides.
As with all other techniques, it is key to do everything with respect, to mutually explore towards a common, shared understanding, and work using consensus.
Also, several of these techniques can be used for other applications, but that is for each person to discover for themself.
Finally, for communicating with my Higher Self, I will use meditation focused on going within, or finding my innermost being - my truest core self or essence.
When I was younger, starting on my spiritual journey, I found various versions of what could be called “vision quests” helpful, but that hasn’t been necessary for a few decades now.
So, these techniques are aimed at establishing communication with the various aspects of oneself. The purpose of doing that is:
- to gain knowledge about oneself that one didn’t have;
- to gain the insights, wisdom and strengths of other parts of oneself (as illustrated in parts of the series “Sens8”);
- to establish a healthy, genuine and respectful - on all sides. including towards you, the conscious - communication; and
- to enable all the disparate parts of oneself to work together towards achievement of common, shared goals.
It is a process, not a shortcut.
So is 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.
