Post No. 1,983 - Magickal Battle of the World - Weekly Meditation - Week No. 62 - Nonphysical allies

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. 62 - Nonphysical allies

I’m going to interrupt this post with a reminder that .the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has warned of a “code red for humanitybecause of HUMAN-induced climate change, some of which is IRREVERSIBLE - see here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.

One of my key drivers for doing this work is that the the climate crisis has been our World War III for some time. The report this week by the IPCC is a reminder of that existential threat - and that all this work to build teams of people working on using their skills to achieve change for the better through psychic means has effectively and urgently addressing the climate crisis as one of those crucial aims.

Although my writing is deliberately low key, the urgency is real.

The exercise in this lesson introduces the idea of aiming to develop tools. One of the tools that many people are likely to be familiar with is: working with powerful non-physical entities.

This covers a great deal - from a quick, simple prayer through a range of various rituals to agreeing to work with a Matron/Patron Deity.

Let’s consider the type of entities that may be involved in this:

  • Deities;
  • other powerful spiritual entities;
  • your BPM  Guides;
  • other entities - incarnate and discarnate - who share your goals;
  • spirits of place or purpose (such as justice);
  • allies, including Power Animals; and
  • greatest of them all: your Higher Self, that innermost or truest part of you which helped to create and is helping to sustain this very reality itself.

Surprised by that last one? Many people are -I know I was when I had that pointed out to me.

But it fits - it is true.

Even if we still can’t whinge and whine our way out of some things :)

Alright, now let’s looks at the types of connections that can be made:

  • highly formal and ritualised, with the intention of long term service beyond this task (I recommend John Becket’s “Under the Ancient Oaks” column for good information on such relationships);
  • informal, but also with a firm intention of long term service beyond this task;
  • shorter term, based on this or other tasks;
  • friendship - possibly as a result of doing this sort of work (my understanding is that many Pagans of more than a millennia ago worked with Deities who they felt the most affinity for, rather than those who the task was listed as one of their “attributes” [with a silent expectation that “attribute” meant “duty” or “beholden to the arrogant requester”] ); and
  • inalienable or innate - you cannot separate yourself from your Higher Self, even if you have a dissociative condition (such occur at levels several notches “down” in “frequency” from where our Higher Self is).

So, how do we capitalise on those connections for this sort of work?

Firstly, consider all of these relationships from the point of view of friendship, not exploitation. Just as if you ring a “friend” who you have had no contact with for years and demand they help you move house tomorrow, you will be poorly received, so too with many of these entities. They do NOT exist to be your serfs or slaves: don’t be arrogant, be respectful, and considerate.

As an example, how often do you send healing to your BPM Guides - and don’t give me rubbish about they don’t need it, they do from time to time, but more importantly, it is the consideration and respect shown by the gesture.

The actual methods of connection that could be considered are listed above, so let’s move on to what actual assistance you could possibly receive.

Your allies could:

  • increase your strengths - particularly awareness (perspective) or knowledge or multidimensional thinking;
  • be an additional strength;
  • provide protection, or improve protection;
  • be used directly to clear or heal, or help clear or heal;
  • weaken your opposition - directly or indirectly;
  • some other option.

This week’s sigil is a repeat of the sigil for ally from week no. 30.

 

Exercise R - Tools

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.

There is a whole area to explore in terms of “tools” - objects, often physical (e.g., crystals), which can aid in the work you are doing.

These don’t have to be limited to what is known: you can get creative - as I’ve illustrated with a few developments on this blog (e.g., here). In fact, in one group I was designated “artificer” and given the job of creative development of tools.

Of course, that doesn’t just mean coming up with any idea: the ideas have to be relevant to the group and the task, practicable, and realistic. Previous lessons in this series have covered various forms of checking and testing, and they should be applied to ideas - meaning (a) it may take some time to determine whether or not something is relevant, practicable, and realistic, and (b) putting a few compatible heads together in a constructive and harmonious way will be beneficial (there a lot of ideas that have been developed as concepts and reactions were bounced around).

A few points to consider as you review ideas:

  • what level of reality is the tool located in?
  • where - including what level of reality - does the tool draw its energy or power from (there may be several) and how?
  • what levels of reality can the tool influence, and how does it do so?
  • what are the signs the tool would have of becoming exhausted (like a crystal needing recharge)?
  • what are the signs the tool would have of having a nonBPM, rather than BPM, influence?
  • are all of these different for different people working with the tool? (that answer is normally “yes”, and requires wide consideration of the use and implications of the tool for a range of people)
  • what is the closest thing to this that others have used, and what is the knowledge they have evolved?

Don’t forget to share your knowledge via the large green emerald discussed in previous lessons.

And also remember to automatically, quietly, without a fuss, clear ALL nonBPM units that you may become aware of during all discussions - or any group work, really.

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.
