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. 64 - Force concentration
When Dion Fortune was arranging the magickal work against the forces of evil during World War Two, she basically arranged for as strong and unified an effort as was possible.
When people were looking to magickally bind #45, they basically arranged for as strong and unified an effort as was possible.
When I publish my Psychic Weather Reports each week (e.g., here), I am basically proposing a plan of action with the intent of basically arranging for as strong and unified an effort as was possible.
I am also in favour of healers working together, instead egotistically saying “No, this patient is mine - go heal your own patient”.
In the military, to simplify a little, this (the working together, not the ego trips) is termed “concentrating force” (actually, force concentration, in military-speak).
In the military world, with a considerable measurable history, there are well developed rules about “how” concentrated your forces need to be - the ratio of attackers to defenders to win, for instance (which varies from situation to situation, but on a conventional battlefield, three to one - elsewhere ten to one or higher).
The variables in the psychic world make coming up with specific numeric targets about how concentrated one’s forces need to be difficult. In my case, if I am planning a specific event, I tend to rely on my BPM Guides, and will ask them outright: “do we enough strength, skill and resources to safely and effectively do this?”
One day that may well be developed further, and there may be a way of measuring such matters and developing rules, but for the time being, in addition to checking with others (such as BPM Guides) about the quantity of strength, it is worth thinking about what is involved in accomplishing this:
- training to develop skills, and whatever other work is necessary to develop other resources (as discussed in recent lessons);
- planning and organising so as many people are available at the desired time (and, if you are scattered around the globe, that does NOT need to be simultaneous: working progressively, at a convenient time in each timezone, enables a wave of energy to be developed to roll around the planet);
- active or live communication before and during the event;
- planning and organising so people know what to do, where, when, and how;
- ensuring all the above includes consideration of the levels of Reality; and
- making sure there are also all the support resources needed - healers, debriefers, Psychic Emergency Action Plans, etc.
The other aspect worth focusing on is the difference between military concentration of force and this work: our work is about being constructive.
This week’s sigil is for judiciousness.
Exercise T - Group karma
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.
One of the topics that is often misunderstood is karma: the principle that what creates (“does”), both good AND bad, comes back to one - eventually.
The principle is complicated by facts such as people taking on problem situations either to test themselves or as a TEST OF OTHER PEOPLE. Under that scenario, the person who refuses to throw a droning person a rope out of some crazy excuse that they don’t want to “take on” someone else’s karma (which is just not possible), or the IPOC who criticises someone who is suffering, will have FAILED a test.
They have certainly created energies requiring lessons around compassion - the energy they have created is spiritual, it is not “eye for an eye” vindictiveness (which is, by definition, un-spiritual), it is about the error - which likely features compassion, and maybe arrogance/smugness, superciliousness, finding excuses, fear of tasking action / responsibility, and so on.
At some stage, that will have an impact on them.
On the other hand, the person who helped the drowning person, or said or did something nice (even if it was only a smile) for the suffering person have created an energy that will involve receiving a boost.
Receiving a vindictive punishment is not spiritual; receiving a boost when it would do good is. The world involves suffering, much of that because of the complexity and challenges of life, some because of accidents, a significant portion is tests - and there is also a dash of non-vindictive karma. Physical reality is imperfect, not vindictive.
Anyone who complains about karma, or gives warnings about future suffering, is an IPOC who does not understand karma. Ignore them.
OK, so the next point: groups also generate karma.
When groups, such as some religious groups, do what they consider “good works” will - provided those works are BPM - generate a certain amount of good karma.
Some of this is through the people outside the group thinking well of the group, some of the effect may be the “warm fuzzies” that people get in their hearts when they are able to do something nice and beneficial, but some of it is energetic return - energetic or spiritual momentum, in a sense.
Working together in such activities can also be a team building exercise - provided it is seen as “good”, not hypocritical or disingenuous, by those undertaking the work.
One circle I was in used to take part in the annual “sleepout” at one member’s home. This worked because those of us who participated were strongly motivated to do something about homelessness for a range of reasons, but we didn’t have any desire to nitpick or belittle those who didn’t or couldn’t join in - people who were supportive of us, many to the point of donating to the cause we were fundraising for.
I used to be part of another Pagan group that also held an annual fundraiser for a charity.
If you choose the right method and reason, and conduct it ethically, safely and properly, it can be beneficial for those taking part, those to be helped, and the group - in the ways outlined above, including good karma.
That good karma can help with things like “good luck” and seemingly fortuitous events/coincidences that help the group (e.g., meeting people who can impart skills or resources) - all of which , if it is karmic, you earned.
Your exercise is, as a group, spend as long and use as many forms of communication as is needed, to consider and discuss the following questions:
- what are your attitudes towards the concept of karma as described above - both as it applies to individuals and to groups?
- what other mechanisms could explain what is being observed?
- irrespective of mechanism, how can the group work together, in areas other than psychic, to be of service to others / the community / “the world” / etc?
- how would such work need to be conducted in order to avoid alienating members, failing in its aims (including the direct benefits to the group), or causing harm in stead of good (some well-meaning charities have been associated with harm)?
- how would you monitor the energetic benefits of such work? Is there a way to determine whether you need to do more general good to improve how your psychic work is going?
Don’t rush this - and enjoy it, as much as you can.
Keep records of key points so you can illustrate the group’s thinking to new members, re-assess everything from time to time (especially if circumstances change), and learn from the thoughts / responses of new members to past discussions.
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.
