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. 81 - Making Light Manifest
We now come to the final lesson in this series.
In the lessons to date, I have shared some of what I have learned over the decades, and those who have applied these are close enough to my level of knowledge, so now I am going to share some thoughts on something I do not yet know how to do: making light manifest.
Originally, this came out of ponderings inspired by fictional stories of magickal people making physical light, plus some reports of varying authenticity / credibility of auras and/or people “glowing”, plus some old (mediaeval) speculations on how physical reality come into being.
Decades ago, I’ve often thought it would be cool to use psychic energy to make physical light … and then I’ve gone on with dealing with real world problems and issues.
However, such an action could be considered metaphorically - as an indication (or emblem, if someone got it to happen) of the concept of bringing more BPM energy into this world to make it a better place.
Despite that, who am I to say it is impossible? If anyone wanted to pursue it literally, then - provided it did not detract from responsibilities or more pragmatic goals - go for it.
If you do want to either have a literal attempt at this, or to think about it metaphorically, here are a few thoughts to consider:
- “While the two apprentices finished turning the drying herbs, Hwilli learned the meaning of the words that had so puzzled her. Nalla also gave her the first principle of magical studies. All things are made of a light that has shone since the beginning of the world, but light that has convoluted, twisting around itself, bending around other rays of light, gaining substance and form with every twist and interaction, melding itself into matter in the way that a master blacksmith pattern-welds a sword from separate strips of iron. ‘Meditate on that,’ Nalla told her. ‘The teachers say that it’s the key to everything. I don’t know why, because I’m not advanced enough.’ ‘You mean you’ve not worked hard enough,’ Jantalaber said, grinning. ‘Follow your own advice, Nalla.’ Nalla blushed, but she managed to smile.” (from “The Silver Mage” by Katharine Kerr);
- another analogy that is often used is that nonphysical and physical worlds have a different frequency - suggesting we can perhaps manifest energy into the frequency by changing the frequency - a bit like, if you’ll pardon mixing concepts incorrectly, using a step down voltage transformer. However, I don’t consider that fits - the differences are more like the change from AM to FM.
Be that as it may, I wanted to write about this because I want those who have been working through these lessons to think about things I cannot do. In fact, if you have been applying yourself diligently to these lessons, you’re reasonably up to speed with me. I hope you will surpass what I have done, so now . . . over to you. Take what I’ve done and use your skills, experience and knowledge to make it something better.
One last point as a post script: I have not set up connections to inner world, other than the thought form of the emerald as a device to share knowledge. That is because I don’t want to create a tradition here, just to stimulate thinking about psychic work to make the world a better place. (If want to know more re connecting to Inner plane, read Josephine McCarthy’s book “The Work of the Hierophant” - but, if you do, also create a way to end the group when it’s function is no longer needed [if you doubt that, consider what reality may be like in, say, a million years].)

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.
