Post No. 1,807 - Magickal Battle of the World - Weekly Meditation - Week No. 45 - How to work in a group or movement with ethics and integrity

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. 45 - How to work in a group or movement with ethics and integrity

This is covering a point I’ve already alluded to, but is important enough to look at on its own, more closely.

I’ll begin with this: there is a saying that what you’re prepared to walk past is what you’re prepared to accept - thus, indifference to or inaction on domestic violence shows you are tolerant of the evil that is domestic violence. (So-called “keyboard warriors” are actually benefitting their soul, even if their actions don’t - and this is arguable [especially given the time and pressure that is required to effect political change] - have an influence in the physical.)

I have another perspective that I would like to present: what you are prepared for forego, is a measure of the depth of your commitment to your principles.

As an example, in my case, I’ve chosen not to join facebook because of my many concerns with that organisation, beginning with how it came into being and it’s struggles subsequently. There is no doubt that my choice has restricted how many people I can reach with this blog, but the price to my soul of reaching them through facebook is unacceptable to me.

So your ethical commitment is measured both by what you do, and what you don’t do and go without.

To choose another couple of examples from earlier in my life:

  • in my 20s I was invited to join an organisation which claimed to have a particular breathing exercise to enable conscious astral (probably etheric) travel - but I would have had to agree to pay them 10% of my income, and I thought that was unreasonable, greedy, and counter to my principles of spiritual life. So, I said no, and have never come across that breathing exercise anywhere else (I have reason to consider it a real thing, from other sources), but my soul is happy with the price;
  • in my 50s I was invited to join an organisation which portrayed itself as a cult-busting organisation. That appealed, but they started to reveal themself as a paramilitary type of structure that insisted on obedience without question to orders - even if that impacted adversely on your daily life. I felt uncomfortable - to say the least - about that, and again decided to forego the price they wanted.
    They had a strong psychic protection of their members, and I noticed it when that was removed, but, again, my soul is happy with the price.

In addition to not being so desperate to attain goals that I compromise my ethics, I have also stood up for ethics as best I can (exhaustion can make that beyond my limits, at times - I am only human) in my daily life (see, for instance, here and here).

I’ve also written about this topic elsewhere - see here and here, for instance.

The point is: don’t lose sight of the bigger picture.

Yes, some groups may offer wonderful chances to help, but if the price of that is compromising your ethics, you can validly choose not to go down that path, and to then seek other options (or maybe create your own option, as I’ve done with this blog).

Once in a group, you will have many opportunities to compromise or stand up for your ethics - although I recommend doing so as calmly as you can, as other people’s life experiences may make how they come to a particular position sympathetic, and you may not know that.

What are you going to walk past, and what are going to take action on?

What are prepared to forego or give up - to go without - as part of being committed to your principles? To phrase that another way, what temptations are you going to resist or ignore, no matter how tempting they may be?

Again, once you’ve had a decision, communicate - remembering Zeno of Citium’s saying: “We have two ears and one mouth, so we should listen more than we say.”

And always: mind your mægan - which (mægan) is this week’s sigil:

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.
