Post No. 1,861 - Magickal Battle of the World - Weekly Meditation - Week No. 50 - Managing up - including spiritually

Note: because of the importance of dealing with the situations in India and Israel-Palestine, I’ve published this week’s psychic work first, and it can be found at https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/2021/05/post-no-1860-this-weeks-psychic-work.html.

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. 50 - Managing up - including spiritually

Note: because of the importance of dealing with the situations in India and Israel-Palestine, I’ve published this week’s psychic work first, and it can be found at https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/2021/05/post-no-1860-this-weeks-psychic-work.html.

Something you may have heard is that we are all always learning (in fact, I would go so far as to say that our “purpose” in our personal spiritual evolution is not to seek to be perfect so much as to seek to perfect our ability to learn [and if you don’t apply and pas on what you learn, you haven’t actually learned anything . . . ] ). One of the implications of that is, as with parents and physical world teachers, our BPM  Guides and other spiritual helpers are not perfect - they know a great deal more than us, and thus should be listened to, and some may have some really great experience at adapting to change that means one should not write them off as irrelevant, but there is the possibility of them learning as well. (As a cautionary note, many students seem to take as licence to be arrogant and flip their betters off: that is childish immaturity, and only raises questions about whether that student is actually ready to learn.) This also means that not all Guides are of equal ability: more evolved and experienced people tend to have more evolved and experienced Guides (see the first diagram here). If a more experienced person contradicts your Guide, the incarnate person may be correct, rather than your Guide.

What this leads into is the topic known as “managing up” - some information worth considering on that can be found here, here, and here.

You knowing more than your teacher on 1 matter does not mean you ignore the other (say) 99 things the teacher knows more than you on, and throw the baby out with the bathwater by seeking another teacher: you still have to learn, and one of the things you have to learn is how to work with others who are not perfect - which is EXCELLENT practice for working with yourself.

First principle: NEVER be deceitful, dishonest or attempt to use manipulation.

The aim of this work is to improve the spirituality of the world, not find lame attempts to justify being less spiritual.

In addition, such attempts always come back to haunt us at some stage - possibly in future lifetimes.

Second principle: communicate, communicate, communicate.

This is always a good move, but also helps with things like:

  • gaining an understanding of the perspective of those “above” you;
  • requires you to come up with an accurate and well-reasoned exposition of what you want to achieve and why you consider it would work; and
  • provides some incentive to improve your communication with your Guides, etc.

Don’t behave with inarticulateness, but if you need time to consider issues, then by all means ask for it.

Third principle: respect the need for good timing, have patience and consider the appropriateness of circumstances.

In a physical war, when you have made contact with the enemy is not the time to start debating about whether you should be in the war, or tactics, etc.

In you are crewing on a yacht, when you need to tack to avoid a reef or another boat is not the time to start an in-depth discussion about some detail of the tacking technique.

And when you are in the middle of clearing a nonBPM unit is not the time to start discussing ethics or techniques.

Hold the discussion by all means, but NOT when others wellbeing or safety may be put at risk as a result.

Fourth principle: don’t underestimate, undervalue or dismiss yourself

Sometimes even “just” asking a good question can help everyone resolve issues - and I base that from decades of having asked questions when I genuinely didn’t understand something and wanted to gain an understanding, and found the whole situation was improved as a result of sharper minds and greater experience considering possibly a new perspective from my question.

(In general in my life, when I reflect, I wish I had held a greater faith ion myself and my abilities - even [perhaps especially] when I didn’t have the words to  express myself properly.)

Fifth principle: don’t underestimate, undervalue or dismiss the knowledge, experience and perspective of those you are trying to “manage up”.  

One of the most important aspects of that is that they have a responsibility/accountability that you don’t, and until you have worked under that sort of pressure, you will only have a limited and very flawed understanding of the demands and changed perspective of that.

Sixth principle: never use this as an excuse to get out of work, let alone hard work such as genuine self reflection or improving oneself or one’s abilities.

Students are a lot more obvious on this than they realise, and may have a tendency to mistake patient tolerance or forbearance with lack of awareness.

Seventh principle: you have the right to leave if you have genuine ethical concerns - including concerns about non-responsiveness.

I’ve written about this previously, and there may well be a genuine loss of some sort out of this, but if you have genuine ethical or other concerns, you may always leave.

I do suggest, however, that you do so on as good terms as you can, lest you create a link of hate and draw the person or group back into a future life. 

 

This week's sigil is a combination of those which I consider of possible use: 


 Exercise E - objects (partnered - whether physical or nonphysical)

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

You will need someone else to do this exercise. If there are more than two people, arrange yourself in pairs (may have to take turns if there is an odd number of people).

In each pair:

  • person A asks how many negative objects she/he/they have that are allowed to be cleared for the Highest Spiritual Good in this session while (as a check) person B also asks how many objects A can clear.

o   if the answers are close, simply continue - the numbers don’t have to match exactly, as this is only one of several checks,

o   if the numbers are far apart, consider what options you have for solving this problem;

  • repeat this to determine where the objects are;
  • repeat this regarding what influence - if any - the objects have had, and what the benefits will be of clearing that object;
  • person A then commences sending positive energy out along the objects (see Exercise B) until BOTH A and B agree that the objects is dissolved (as an example of a way of checking this, one could, for instance, ask one’s guides to show a milk bottle gradually filling, on the basis that when the bottle is full you have done everything you need to);
  • repeat, but adapted for positive objects to be strengthened;
  • repeat, with roles reversed.

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). As a final point, note that your BPM family of choice (i.e., friends - especially those outside this area of your life) and BPM family will help keep your life grounded - but they must be BPM: as the Wiccan  Rede says “With a fool no season spend, nor be counted as their friend.”
