Black Lives Matter!
The Climate Crisis is real, urgent and existential!
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. 60 - Preparing - building strengths and numbers
One of the earliest materials humans started using for tools was stone. At some stage, someone conceived of piling stones in a way that helped makes homes and, later, forts.
And thus the concept of fortification as a preparation was created.
Preparation includes a lot of other things as well:
- training, including in skills such as scouting or, in the context of this work, healing and clearing;
- logistical support;
- planning;
and so forth.
One of the key parts of that includes increasing the strength, including the numbers of people, that you have.
Building the numbers of people includes building alliances - with similar groups, with powerful nonphysical entities, and so on. We’ll cover those matters in coming lessons.
Building numbers also includes training people - which is what I am doing in this series of lessons. There are other ways to do that as well, and Michael M. Hughes’ book “Magic for the Resistance: Rituals and Spells for Change”, which I have only just come across, includes some excellent commentary on things like using social media and magical (Mr Hughes consider the “k” unnecessary) devices to accomplish exactly that. I’m not a fan of social media, so I won’t try to comment on that myself, but I was also particularly fascinated by the history of magickal (I, on the other hand, like the “k” 😊 ) activism.
The book is well worth a read for those aspects alone, but it also provides excellent advice on the actual use of magick, and is a perfect complement to David Salisbury’s “Witchcraft Activism: A Toolkit for Magical Resistance” (Weiser Books, Newburyport, 2019, ISBN 978-1-57683-657-0; Amazon), which I mentioned in Lesson 09.
The book also features the spell to bind #45, which Mr Hughes appears to have originated, which I responded to in this post, including a comment from John Beckett, and quotes from Paul K Chappell, and one from Amy Chua.
My comment, without knowing all the information I now have (see above grumble about social media), was:
In terms of ethical issues, POTUS45 and others of his ilk are actively doing evil - they're causing harm much as a mass shooter does, but they're not as limited as a shooter is. Therefore, active nonphysical action to contain, neutralise and reverse their harm is required.
I then also wrote about the need to build up voters ability to think clearly and not get duped - which is also a matter of preparation comprising both training and, in places like the USA which stupidly have optional voting and a system design to discourage or outright disenfranchise as many (minority) people as possible, increasing numbers.
Preparation.
OK, so it seems preparation is widely used, is probably good - or, to be pithy, “is a thing”. I’m going to leave the boosting numbers aspect to elsewhere in this series, but I do want to talk about the issue of fortification - building on Lesson 57 - gathering intelligence and Lesson 59 the battlefield - or psychic topography.
In the psychic context, the equivalent of natural strong points, such as a cliff or a river that is difficult to cross, are power structures such as power spots and ley lines.
In the physical world, a feature is of benefit to whoever holds, but in the psychic world, ley lines can be harmonious or disharmonious - the latter include those thrown into disharmony by human activities (such as Abu Ghraib - and some construction activities), but some naturally disharmonious places exist, places where animals, including humans, feel so uncomfortable that they avoid them (another example would be the Bermuda Triangle).
Beneficial places include natural power spots or “vortices” or sacred sites (such as Uluru), and human constructions such as Stonehenge and the pyramid at Giza.
Cast circles are a form of human-made psychic fortification.
As I have written many times, protection is essential - and, as I have also written, many times that protection is simply required against disharmony, not “evil” or malice per se.
So:
- psychic topography includes features that are strong points;
- those features may be natural or artificial;
- those features may be beneficial or adverse;
- to be clear: good psychic features can be made.
It is also possible to undertake preparation with regard to disharmonious psychic features - beginning with identifying where they are, so you can decide whether you can go around them (stay undetectable), besiege them (set up protection around them to stop them harming others), or have to be more active (clearing).
It is also possible to do preparation similar to establishing a circle, but repeatedly, investing more energy into the protection - in effect, creating a thought form.
To some extent, this is what has been with the emerald for sharing knowledge, but many individuals and organisations spend considerable effort creating safe non-physical areas. As an example, apart from the emerald I have a personal cave that is an astral safe place which I have been working on since I did some shamanic journeys in the 1980s.
Other groups have quite elaborate astral creations, although I don’t have permission to try giving any details, so I won’t. I will, however, refer you to the Gareth Knight edited book “The Magical Battle of Britain” (my copy pub. Skylight Press, 2012, ISBN 978-1-908011-45-9), about the work by Dion Fortune during World War Two, which I reviewed here and is an excellent example of prolonged effort where each session builds on the previous one.
Of course, that takes time, which is why we’re back to the forward looking and thinking of “preparation”.
This week’s sigil is . . . preparation.
Exercise O - learning and growing as a group
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.
There is another very key aspect of working in a group, and that is how to learn and grow (in knowledge) as a group. To work on this, I suggest (and this will be spread over some time, it is not to be done all in the one sitting - reflection and thinking time are essential):
- review the material at https://regression-rescue.blogspot.com/2010/12/general-flow-charts-discussion.html;
- review all the lessons which have covered learning as an individual, and hold a group discussion on how to adapt those to a group situation;
- develop a plan, including how to test / measure the effectiveness of your group learning;
- try your plan, review the results, and adapt on the basis of your learning;
- next, consider the issue of others becoming involved in your group:
o how do you introduce and incorporate them into your existing systems?
o how do you incorporate their knowledge into your systems - including how do you discern what is “good” / relevant?
As a final test of this, consider how you would determine when it is time to wind up your group.
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.
