Post No. 1,825 - Magickal Battle of the World - Weekly Meditation - Week No. 47 - How to avoid group think or a nonBPM group mind / “egregore”

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, work which goes beyond my initial response.

I am proposing this be added to the Sunday meditations which are part of my regular psychic work, but there will now also be exercises (“homework”). 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. 47 - How to avoid group think or a nonBPM group mind / “egregore” 

The key to this is good discussion - good discussion, not discussion for the sake discussion, not bloody-minded argumentativeness, not show discussions, good discussion where everyone is prepared to both let others have their non-abusive say and ensure that everyone does so, good discussion leading to increased awareness of issues, advantages and disadvantages, the range of actions, and the range of consequences.

There is also a particular sub-set of this which is response to criticism. Now, the biggest problem with that is many bigots use “spiritual” as a code word to cover their false claims of having had guidance that coincidentally is in line with their bigotry. For this reason, criticism from within should begin with the person presenting their case, but then leaving so others can have a good discussion - one where the person making the criticism does not bully or interrupt the discussion (if that happens at any point, they should be ordered to leave so that a good discussion can be held). The discussion should be objective, not defensive.

If a discussion appears to be not objective or good, then there may be a case for postponing all actions by the group and the discussion to give everyone a chance to regain their balance, including doing any personal growth work and clearing that is necessary, and resume an objective good discussion at a future date.

For some past material I’ve used on this, see here, here, here, here, and here (which includes a dated feedback form).

Ensuring the physical discussion is good helps to prevent any unhealthy psychic group mind / egregore effect, but it is also good to search for such creations - they will exist, simply as a result of meeting with a shared intention - and then check them as objectively as you can. Getting an independent opinion can help, but that needs to be by someone who can be trusted to be free of personal bias or allegiances and professionally objective. (This also applies to friends: I consider the best way as an individual to maintain your wellbeing is to keep your friends, but if they are unreasonably biased, bigoted or jealous / possessive, they are not acting as a friend.) You’ll need to find someone and spend some time getting to know them to develop this - it isn’t easy, and is one of the reasons I aimed at having a completely separate group to oversee the work of one group I was developing in the past.

Find and clear nonBPM units in, or or associated with each person in the group and the group as a whole - and do so at least each month, ideally.

The sigils for this week are from previous weeks: perspective-wisdom, and discernment.



Exercise B - links (self work)

Establish and check  protection, and then do your initial self-assessment.

The following is largely from https://gnwmythrsglossary.blogspot.com/2017/05/links.html

NonBPM links can be cleared, and BPM  links can be strengthened. The clearing of a nonBPM link is best done by dissolving it with BPM energy (a description often simplified to “love”) – which is also the technique for strengthening a BPM link.

Before getting into the details of the technique, note that I do NOT recommend simply “cutting” the link: that is an aggressive technique which leaves problems unresolved, and the ends of the cut links or cords may latch on to other people and cause problems elsewhere (or on to different parts of yourself).

When you clear a nonBPM link with BPM energy, the people (or people and places, etc) on both ends of the link will have the immediate psychic burden of that link removed (there will likely still be some aftereffects that still need to be addressed), and thus will generally both feel better and function more effectively in life.

When you strengthen a BPM link, the people (or people and places, etc) on both ends of the link will generally experience a lift in mood and ability to enjoy life and function well.

The strength of these effects will depend on the strength of the link concerned.

Clearing a nonBPM link:

  • establish protection (and check that it is adequate - yes I know I have already covered this: it is important enough to emphasise by repeating a few times);
  • think of a time in your life when you most felt a generous, BPM love or similar positive energy, and relive that time or moment as much as possible to rebuild those energies in your aura;
  • ask your BPM guides to help you become aware of the location of the nonBPM link that it is most appropriate (which more or less means “most important to clear of those within your current capacity to clear”), for the Highest Spiritual Good, that you clear;
  • when you have a sense of where that link is, allow the love you have built up to flow out through that link until you feel that it has totally dissolved. If this link was formed as a result of you doing wrong to someone else, you will be (partly) healing that person by this action;
  • you can repeat this for other links, but I strongly recommend that you alternate between clearing nonBPM and strengthening BPM links;
  • when you have finished, close your chakras and aura, centre and ground yourself, thank the BPM guides for their help, and allow the protection to ease back to whatever your BPM guides wish you to have for normal, everyday life.

Strengthening a BPM link:

  • establish protection (and check that it is adequate);
  • think of a time in your life when you most felt a generous, BPM love, and relive that time or moment as much as possible, to rebuild those energies in your aura;
  • ask you BPM guides to help you become aware of the location of the BPM link that it is most appropriate (which more or less means “most important to clear of those within your current capacity to clear”), for the Highest Spiritual Good, that you strengthen;
  • when you have a sense of where that link is, allow the love you have built up to flow out through that link until you feel the love coming back (at the other end of the link, the person receiving this link may find themselves suddenly thinking warmly of you);
  • you can repeat this for other links;
  • when you have finished, close your chakras and aura, centre and ground yourself, thank the BPM guides for their help, and allow the protection to ease back to whatever your BPM guides wish you to have for normal, everyday life.

Do your final self-assessment and restorative work, re-check yourself (get help if you need it), and then close your chakras, centre yourself and close your aura, use the banishing version of the LBRP to close circle, ground and release all excess energy; and make sure you are grounded and closed down - implement your Psychic Emergency Action Plan if necessary.

The Meditation (see here, here, and here) broadly 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.

The work for the assigned exercises broadly comprises the following:

 - establish appropriate and responsible protection (see here, here, here), prayer and ritual (e.g., here) to establish and check protection (re-do or re-schedule, if you don’t feel safe and secure);

 - establish a personal connection to 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 this week’s sigil;

 - generate  feelings of love, peace, joy and respect, strengthen those feelings (energies), and radiate those energies to the world (ideally for nine to eighteen minutes, but do what you can), focusing on the planetary region(s) and attributes for that day as specified in this week’s Psychic Weather Report (as, if none, as you consider necessary or best);

 - perform the meditation or other work and exercise(s) as set out in this post;

 - close your chakras, centre yourself and close your aura, use the banishing version of the LBRP to close circle, ground and release all excess energy; and make sure you are grounded and closed down – eat, if you need to, implement your Psychic Emergency Action Plan if necessary (e.g., seek help from someone capable and trusted).
