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. 67 - Fire and manoeuvre
After the British army performed so disastrously in the (Second) Boer War, it learned a number of key lessons which led to it being - in 1914 - far more effective than its relatively small size would suggest (although it was largely wiped out after a year or so, and had to be rebuilt).
One of the lessons was a small unit tactic which I have come across under several terms, the current one seeming to be “fire and manoeuvre“. The basic idea is that you divide your force into two (so you need at least two people), and while one half keeps the enemy suppressed (or distracted), the other moves into a better (often, closer) position so they can then suppress the enemy while the first manoeuvres closer.
This is often (not always) a less dangerous form of attack than a charge.
It can be seen how this might be useful for a physical war situation, but how can it be applied to a psychic campaign? (And I must admit to finding working with the term and concept somewhat unsettling.)
Well, here are a few suggestions:
- while one half of your group sends light to a group or place that is being cleared - i.e., while one half is actively clearing, the other half could be:
o scouting the target, to gain a better understanding of what needs to be cleared and how, and preparing to do so (and of what reserves etc may exist);
o freeing psychic slaves or other units;
o healing themselves or those still doing the clearing;
- in a longer campaign:
o one half could be protesting people or places that have been cleared, cleansed, or healed, while the other half clears/cleanses/heals the next;
o a sequence of people or places could be developed where working on one makes it easier to work on the next - which is part of what I suggest in the near weekly Psychic Weather Reports;
- or it could be as simple as swapping who is doing the clearing and who is doing the protecting of your group’s work.
I am working on this concept at the behest of my BPM Guides, so there are parts of this that have not been fully developed, and are being suggested so others can consider them, and see if there is a way to adapt or learn from the concept.
It may be that there isn’t, and the topic needs to be dropped. This may be one such, but it is consideration and trials that will make that clear. Personally, I and others I work with have used the above suggestions - or similar ideas, but this is being written not for us, but for you, and for you and others, this topic may be one to discard, or it may give you an idea you find useful.
This week’s sigil is mutuality.
Exercise W- Communication in groups
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.
By now you should be reasonably familiar with good communication - at least to others you are working with, including possibly small groups.
However, as the groups grow larger, communication can become more challenging:
- words have different meanings and associations for different people;
- the context in which words are read may be very different to the context they are framed;
- people may not fully understand the situation of others - and it can take practice and discipline to be a good, receptive listener who is capable of teasing out issues when people are not necessarily good talkers;
- not everyone may be fully au fait with the group’s purposes and methods;
- it takes time, patience and persistence to communicate effectively in a group - sometimes more so than just scaling up the time to communicate between two people for the larger number of people in the group;
- records may be needed for complex communication - accurate, accessible records; and
- people are often at different levels of evolution, and possibly travelling in slightly different directions or speeds, and that can lead to misunderstanding / bewilderment / attributions of bad faith.
That last one is important: when people start to assume others are acting in bad faith, the group may well be in trouble, in my experience - at the very least, considerable time, energy and effort may be needed to re-establish trust and harmony.
This is one of the reasons people should be slow, patient and cautious about who they form groups with, and be aware of and prepared for changes in the group when people grow at different speeds or in different directions.
To illustrate that last point, people may form a group with everyone keen to focus on clearing links, but after a few months some may want to share the focus on meditation or chakra connections. There may be a way for the group to accommodate those changes, but it will require good, patient, communication all based on an assumption of good faith.
Look at the definition I gave here, the flow charts here, and the lots of good information on the internet.
As a group exercise, from time to time specifically discuss the topic of communication within and for the 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.
