Post No. 1,974 - Magickal Battle of the World - Weekly Meditation - Week No. 61 - Preparing - planning tactics, strategy and grand strategy

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. (See also this excellent analysis on the topic.)

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. 61 - Preparing - planning tactics, strategy and grand strategy

Let’s consider someone who is working out how to earn enough to survive after they leave their parents’ home. They may decide on a career in a profession, which means they need to get a degree, and then they may choose a particular job to pursue as a first stage in their work-life.

In that example, the grand strategy could be considered to be their choice of career, gaining a qualification was their first strategic step, and getting that first job was a tactical step.

So one could consider:   grand strategy the overall, largest scale planning;   strategy is the major chapters of that strategy,   and   tactics address the key events within each chapter.

Let’s choose another example . . . one from the sporting arena . . . chess.

Your grand strategy may be to become a grand master of chess, so the strategy may involve an initial plan for developing basic skills (first tactic may be read a book, then watch videos, then join a club), and subsequent strategies may be developed for progressively developing your skill through competitions, tutors, etc.

As far as a military situation goes, one could perhaps say that, in World War Two:   the allies’ grand strategy was to defeat Germany first, then Japan;   the strategy against Germany was to aid the fighting on the Eastern Front by opening a second front as soon as logistically possible;   and the military campaigns were sub-strategies with lots of tactics in various battles.

If we consider changing the world to being a more emotionally mature and spiritual place, the long term (grand) strategy may be to change the attitudes of almost all people in the world towards raising children away from greed and/or survival type “values” and towards more BPM values around respect (no discrimination), being equitable (sharing), and compassion for at least three generations (which is something that will possibly take centuries of sustained and incremental work).

That may involve sets of strategies - perhaps some focused on aiding the most progressive nations to change, others on using those nations as examples, other strategies to address particular aspects of life or problem groups / nations.

One strategy might be around teaching people more effective ways to work psychically towards that goal . . .

Along the way, there will be sub-strategies and tactical considerations.

The psychic weather report posts I do most weeks are a strategy for that week, suggesting a basis for cooperating and working on healing and strengthening the BPM and clearing the nonBPM. Each of the meditations, clearings and healings done to accomplish that are tactical exercises, with steps broadly outlined in the notes at the end of this post.

There are some additional points I wish to raise for those tactical activities, drawing on military learnings:

• there will be additional matters raised in coming lessons around things like reserves, manoeuvring, concentration of strength, etc which will aid your understanding and use of tactics - this lesson is an introduction;
• for now, consider a possible exit strategy if you are overwhelmed and need to retreat. This will need use of the previous guidance on undetectability, and use of reserves to distract your opponents (for instance, by starting to clear units on other levels or in other places of the world that your opponents are drawing on - which you will know about because of your prior scouting activities);
• how will you handle changes - such as your opponents bringing up reserves to make themselves stronger faster than you thought they would, or your people being exhausted faster than you thought they would?
• how will you cope with the need for healing and recovery of your people? It is one thing - a basic matter - to have healers to address exhaustion, another to make sure everyone is protected, undetectable and safe, and to detect issues such as change in attitudes / morale / emotions.

I have used a list of questions to prompt my thinking on these matters for many years now for what I termed “spell battles”. The following is from the blank template I use for those - feel free to adapt or ignore, as you deem appropriate:

Exercise P - debriefing

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, which in turn have 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.

As a further development on the issues outlined in the previous lesson, consider when a formal “debriefing” could be valuable, and how it would be conducted.

Devise a plan for a trial, implement the trial, and learn and adapt as necessary.

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.
