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 Lesson: No. 76 - Make haste slowly
When I was learning this sort of work, back in the 80s, we had the attitude that you never let the opposition win. No matter how long it took, you kept working until you had cleared everything that had to be cleared.
Now, we were all single, no kids, and used techniques to minimise how much sleep we needed, so we could get by, but going to work the next day was sometimes a problem. However, it was exhausting, and after 18 months I had to leave - and others left for a range of reasons, including having kids.
For the audience of this blog, I do NOT consider that level of work to be necessary. Furthermore, if you have other commitments, I actually consider neglecting those to focus on this work to be ethically, morally, and spiritually WRONG.
This is one part of life, others do this sort of work, and it won’t fall over if you spend some time keeping yourself as a balanced human being.
In fact, losing balance makes you unfit to attempt to do this sort of work.
However, having made those caveats, the basic reason for that group’s attitude is worth contemplating: that reason is, if you stop at a certain level of effort, you have just demonstrated how hard those opposing you have to also work in order to overcome you.
Remember, all life has the innate potential to be psychic, and your opposition must never be underestimated.
Thus, don’t assume nonBPM people will not know your limits - especially so if you were meant to rescue someone who is “uncooperative”, and were unable to complete it. They, apart from anyone else, will gladly spread the knowledge.
So how does one approach a clearing or similar situation?
Carefully.
One does not brag or boast, or take on the idiotic attitude that “extending past one’s limits is good”. In this sort of situation it clearly and most definitely is NOT. You push and extend yourself while training and practising, yes, but not when planning a real mission. Use the lessons we have been covering - force concentration, resources, strength, etc.
Listen to your BPM Guides during this!
When I was learning to sail (as a skipper), in the first year, I limited myself to winds of no more than 15 knots. After that year, I would sail in winds of up to 20 knots, then when the senior sailors all agreed I could cope with that, I extended it a bit further.
In the end, I was a heavy weather (VERY strong winds) specialist, but ONLY because I took it in slow, steady, small steps.
As you and the group you are in develop both individually, and as a group, and with the approval of your teachers, BPM Guides, and leaders, extend your work in slow, small, steady steps.
There’s no hurry: you are an eternal soul.
Now, if you get caught out, perhaps despite all this, there is the issue of what to do, and we will consider that next week - and, the week after that, what to do if people find themselves injured in some way.
This week’s sigil is a repeat of Lesson No. 43’s sigil for Patience.
Exercise AF- Surety of Help
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 advantages of having friends - and, to some extent, working in groups or having family - is being able to rely on others for help when you need it.
There are other life demands that people may have, other needs, and sometimes human disagreements can get in the way (validly, if that is about avoiding abuse or bigotry), so the help may not always be there, or may not be to the extent that we want, but it does mean you don’t have to do everything yourself, even when exhausted and/or ill.
This is one of the aspects of working in a group that should be discussed:
how do you make sure people get the help from the group that they reasonably should?
As an example, one psychic group that I was considering joining made sure that all its members had extra psychic protection. I chose not to go ahead with that membership, and noticed the change in protection - which was perfectly OK, as the extra protection was related to the sort of psychic work that group did.
Personally, if I am in a group that does demanding psychic work, the sort of work where I might attract psychic attack, I would like to see the group make sure that my Significant Others - friends, who are family of choice, and family and other key people (perhaps work colleagues?) - are protected against any indirect psychic attack.
Sometimes it is easier for people who are dispassionate to see such potential attacks and prevent them from happening or being effective. Sure, it is easy enough to say the person whose SOs they are “should” be able to do that, but the person will likely have to expend a certain amount of energy managing the reaction they have to their SOs being threatened, and that detracts from the energy available to defend those SOs.
I’d rather energy is used efficiently, and if people are feeling safe and secure about their SOs, they will be more relaxed and effective in what they do for the group.
As another example, for a spiritualist group that - years before the pandemic - had monthly mini-festivals where people - members of the public - could attend and get readings or healings. I created a course on channelled energy healing for them, and tried to set up a roster of healers to share the load.
Unfortunately, most people were more interested in learning how to be mediums than healers, so the roster never had the number of people I wanted.
And what was worse was a glib, naïve expectation that mediums “should” manage their own energy levels and thus not need healing.
In fact, that expectation was downright stupid.
Quite apart from the FACT that people have other demands in their life that mean they may not be able to ensure they are high energy when they turn to give readings, doing so in a public environment where there are lots of different mediums and members of the public involves having to manage conflicting/disharmonious energy (there were also bigots in that group) and thus the work will exert some drain on energy levels. Even in the best of circumstances, giving readings for hours on end will be a drain.
To say mediums “should” not expect healing before or after is arrogant, holier-than-thou stupidity.
But what is your group’s thoughts on all this? What is your group’s informed consensus on:
- what sort of help should members receive from the group, and how much?
- what sort of self responsibility should members take for themselves and their SOs?
- how can the group work to share the load and best ensure that all members receive the agreed type and level of help? How do you “make sure no-one is left behind”?
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.
