Post No. 1,956 - Magickal Battle of the World - Weekly Meditation - Week No. 59 - The battlefield - or psychic topography

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).

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.

World War II was probably the biggest global crisis before our current situation, and during those terrible events, there were a number of people undertaking magickal work, including Dion Fortune - as 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 19 monthly meditations; 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.

Coming back to the present, the climate crisis has been our World War III for some time, and we also have the COVID-19  pandemic, caused by the zoonotic  SARS-CoV-2  novel coronavirus (there are other novel coronaviruses), on top of that.

Now, 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.

This post is this week’s contribution.

This Week: No. 59 - The battlefield - or psychic topography 

In one of the Star Trek movies ( “The Wrath of Khan”) there is a battle scene where the Enterprise crew work out that their opponent is thinking two dimensionally, not three dimensionally, and they use that to defeat him.

There’s a bit of a credibility problem there (someone with above average IQ who has spent years in space can’t think in 3D?), but the issue of “thinking outside the box” is always important.

In the case of this sort of (psychic) work, specific lessons from mundane war (e.g., how to best use rifles) are often actually of limited value, but some of the general principles matter.

And for this week’s lesson, what matters is knowledge of the nature of reality and levels, and the ability to direct one’s perception to particular parts.

If you’re focused on the physical world, you may miss an imminent psychic attack or disharmonious energy from the etheric or one of the astral levels - which is the psychic equivalent of two dimensional thinking in a three dimensional world.

That limited perception actually sometimes happens also when people set up protection: they may work carefully on setting protection (and remember this is also against disharmony, not the far less common occurrence of an actual attack) to the four quarters, but forget to ensure above and below are protected as well.

Another issue is our often limited ability to direct awareness/perception behind oneself - we are, after all, creatures for forward facing eyes, and have a few hundred thousand years of evolution focused on looking forward. One of the exercises I give students is to cast a circle entirely while facing backwards - so, for instance, while establishing protection in the east quarter, they are facing west rather than east.

It is very, very difficult - I still find it difficult, after four decades or practice - but it is potentially quite beneficial.

Psychically, it is possibly the equivalent of building up your triceps muscles as well as your biceps - and I found, back in my competitive sailing days, after having a few problems, that having balanced muscle group development (although mainly legs and torso - or “core” as the latter gets called these days [and, for sailing, particularly focus on twisting and sideways movements such as bending is actually crucial to being able to help dinghies in waves] ) is actually quite important.

In terms of this week’s lesson, the concept I wish to convey is that is knowing and working with what I will term “psychic topography”.

Much as land has a topography and geology that impacts many things - not only war, so too do non-physical realms.

In the physical world, a culture may develop in a peaceful valley that is different to that in a nearby valley. If one valley decides to invade the neighbouring valley, the river in that valley, which is not a major problem in times of peace, becomes a major obstruction because the invaders have to cross at bridges - or create their own bridges under fire.

Psychically, if you wish to accomplish a task, it is easier where there is more energy that is compatible with what you are trying to achieve.

If you wish to meditate for peace, a forest, slow river, or local power spot would be better than trying to do that work on a factory floor. (This is also used by the nonBPM as well as the BPM.)

Knowing the energetic conditions of your surrounds is therefore important - and, as far as the non-physical aspects of your surrounds go, you do NOT need to go there physically, you need to go there psychically, which is what we covered in the lesson on psychic scouting (safely).

To simplify:

• do your psychic work in conditions that favour the work you are trying to do;
• don’t do your work where it would favour those who are trying to oppose what you are doing;
• if, as a final step you wish to go into the area where the nonBPM have been working, do so only AFTER you have weakened that area and built yourself and those working with you up (and remember we are talking about the strength of LOVE, not the strength of arms or competition) to the extent that you have an advantage.

So far I have just simplified this to physical and non-physical. However, reality has many levels - etheric and several layers of astral, and possibly even other realities / times.

If you find an area that has good etheric energy, but fail to detect that the lower astral in that area has a nonphysical link to an area of nonBPM energy (maybe an abattoir, for instance, as a result of workers going there for a break), you are setting yourself up for difficulty.

To give an example from the physical world, Nick  Lloyd wrote a book about the first world war battle in 1917 at Passchendaele. Early on, key commanders - mainly on the German side - noted that combination of a friable soil on top of clay with a high groundwater meant that the by then commonplace preliminary artillery bombardment would make a mess that it would be difficult for attacking troops to move through.

In that situation, it would possibly have been better to limit the preliminary bombardment.

In the example I mentioned above, the first thing to do is to clear the link to the abattoir (even better would be to close the abattoir).

So, developing those points a little further:

• scout the psychic area involved (and that may be broad - as I’ve often written in my weekly posts, how do you outflank and idea?) to identify the advantageous (BPM) and disadvantageous (nonBPM) areas and influences directly involved; 
• identify, and then isolate or at least distract those sources of nonBPM influence - both direct and indirect;
• do likewise for BPM;
• assess the potential movements between levels / realities / times of BPM and nonBPM, and work out a plan for dealing with those.

When I talk to people about these concepts, many find it easy to think along the lines of hilly terrain - i.e., what problems or benefits lay over the next hill, out of immediate sight.

That’s OK as an initial way of coming to terms with it, but reality would also include both airforces and underground tunnelling.

A more useful way to think of the scouting and assessment is to consider the situation as if you were in a naval conflict situation on a cloudy day:

• what is out of sight over the horizon?
• you know there are planes involved - where are they hiding behind clouds? Can you also use cloud to hide?
• where are the enemy’s submarines? Where are yours?
• what are the reefs, currents, and fog banks, and where are the nearest storms, which way are they moving, and can all that change?

To put that in a nonphysical context:

• how many nonphysical peoples, places and levels are connected here?
• how many energies or influences are making detection of units difficult?
• what are the BPM and nonBPM power spots - of all strengths?
• what are the BPM and nonBPM influences involved? What is inclining all involved towards being compassionate and agape loving, vs what is reducing that?

Another very important point to keep in mind with all of this is:

things change.

Just as your mood may change from day to day, hour to hour, or minute to minute, so too may the energies you are seeking to avoid or to work with. Just as you have many psychic connections, for better or for worse, so too do other people and other places.

That makes reality a very dynamic place.

Your planning needs to thus always keep in mind that things could change either way - for better or worse. I included “for better” specifically as, in physical war, many soldiers have died when their commanders failed to take advantage of an opportunity, which allowed their enemies time to establish defences.

In the psychic field, someone who is neutral may have a bad day at work and wind up becoming a problem. Or you may, for instance, miss opportunities to help people change to being more loving by being unduly sceptical of their ability to change.

This week’s sigil is insight.

 

Exercise N - Decision making, coordination and “command”

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

Do your combined basic energy work drill, which is, as a broad summary:

• Exercise A - self care (Week No. 46);
• Exercise B - links (self work) (Week No. 47);
  Exercise C - links (partnered - whether physical or nonphysical) (Week No. 48);  
• Exercise D - objects (self work) (Week No. 49);
  Exercise E - objects (partnered - whether physical or nonphysical) (Week No. 50);
• Exercise F - energies (self work) (Week No. 51);
  Exercise G - energies (partnered - whether physical or nonphysical) (Week No. 52);
• Exercise H - rescuing cooperatives (self work) (Week No. 53);
  Exercise I - rescuing cooperatives (partnered - whether physical or nonphysical) (Week No. 54);
• Exercise J - rescuing uncooperatives (partnered - whether physical or nonphysical) (Week No. 55).

In addition to the skills directly practised, the partnered exercises have practised your ability to work constructively with others. Both sets of skills will now be developed (and pay particular attention to the skills in the lessons on proficiency, countering adaptations, and evolution [which included the “this course as a blog” links] ), but with a focus towards working in larger groups, with a focus on changing the world. These will be based on the Rangers of the Inner Plane, which is no longer physically active (other than me), but is still working on the nonphysical.

Now, in the preceding parts of this week’s lesson, we’ve, in effect, covered decision making.

It is worth being mindful that there are several ways of making decisions.

The authoritarian top-down systems used in physical militaries may be effective at getting soldiers to go and be killed, but they can miss the feedback from those in the field that leads to tactics that don’t get as many people killed - for instance, the infiltration stye of tactics developed in World War One (and a Union captain in the US Civil War tried something similar, but they couldn’t coordinate their movement with the artillery, so the stand-and-be-slaughtered style stayed in vogue). In dictatorships, such decision making leads to things like the Chernobyl disaster.

Collaborative decision making is better at utilising the skills of all entities involved.

However, there are times when decision making needs to be quick, and there simply isn’t time to have a debate - for instance, if a psychic attack starts to affect someone.

To quite an extent, preparation - including practising psychic skills to and beyond the point of boredom - will help, but there is still often a need for a command - or coordination, if you prefer - structure.

For that, I suggest taking turns at practicing:

• being in the centralised coordination (“command”) position, and:

o   receiving information;

o   making decisions under time pressure or other stress on that information; and

o   issues orders (commands); and

• receiving and acting on orders.

This doesn’t have to be done in a psychic arena: you could make a game out of it by using to order some home delivered take away food, for instance. Get the information (people’s preferences - and allergies, food stores available, delivery times, budget, etc), and then tell someone what order to place.

The experience of being in these various roles will also be an opportunity for many to work through a range of personal growth issues - which is why everyone should be patient, calm, and supportive of everyone else involved.

As always, afterwards 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:

(1) use appropriate and responsible techniques (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);
(2) establish a personal connection to your Higher BPM influences;
(3) 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;
(4) flush one’s aura with green (R0, G102, B0), blue (R0, G0, B204) and purple (R153 G0, B204);
(5) 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;
(6) visualise the rune / bindrune;
(7) generate  feelings of love, peace, joy and respect;
(8) strengthen those feelings (energies);
(9) radiate those energies to the world for nine to eighteen minutes;
(10) 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;
        Also on Sunday, perform the exercise(s) as set out in this post;
(11) 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;
        (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; and
        (iv) make sure you are yourself again - free of any lingering attachments or (misguided) ideas of being subservient, respectful of yourself and your integrity as you should be of others.
