Post No. 2,122 - a personal milestone in 2021

In Year 2021 I made - including this one - 401 posts, with an amazing 54 posts in one month - more than I posted in each of my first three years. Perhaps most importantly, I completed my online courses (now accessible through here, and I am trying to get the time and energy to finish an e-book version of those).

It's been an eventful year for the world, and in many ways for me personally, and I'm unlikely to be as active again in coming years - but I'd like to do another 1,212 (more or less) weekly Psychic Weather Reports, if I can.

So many 1s and 2s . . . well, in one of the numerology systems I learned, 1s were for leadership and 2s were for poetry, so I hope my blogging has been, if not poetical leadership, at least inspiring or through provoking ☺

May 2022 bring you and your SOs BPM safety, security, wellbeing and spirituality.

Post No. 2,121 - Reading and other links

I'm going to begin this with a reminder that the work of this blog is: 

and

  • BPM  strengthening  BPM units - some nonphysical, some incarnated people . . . and one of, if not the, best ways that is done is strengthening people's connection with their own Higher Self (which is often not what they interpret as their conscience).

Having made that point, here are some links that you, Dear Reader, may find of interest or value: 

  • the widely respected Archbishop Desmond Tutu has passed;
  • NASA has hired a bunch of what appear to be exclusively neochristian theologians to advise on how the world would react to the "discovery" of extraterrestrial life . . . ; 
  • someone's thoughts on people in their 60s and 70s who have helped the world to start to change (my mob, basically 😊 )
  • a video on the problems of trying to misrepresent actual history through the lens of modern inclusivity;and 
  • a very interesting video on shamanism (I related strongly to the comments about establishing and mediating relationships, including nonphysical - particularly the souls of animals that have been killed, but the comments about "worlds" etc were also much in line with my experiences);
Human rights related links (originally published on my political blog) that you, Dear Reader, may find of interest or value
  • more refugee drownings in the Mediterranean (are nations involved doing what they are obliged to under IHL relating to refugees [which is based on the displacements caused by World War Two]? )
  • Russia has further raised concerns about its apparent suppression of freedom of expression by fining an online tech company; 
  • Poland's "President Andrzej Duda [has] . . . decided to veto a bill that would have forced the US media group Discovery to give up its controlling stake in Polish broadcaster TVN. Duda said he recognized that the bill was unpopular with many Polish citizens and would have been a blow to his country's reputation as a place to do business"
  • "Russia's Supreme Court [has] ordered the closure of Memorial International, one of the country's most prominent NGOs. . . . Opposition groups, however, believe Memorial prompted the ire of the government by gathering information on millions killed by the state under Soviet dictator Josef Stalin"
  • the CCP is continuing its suppression of dissent; 
  • Ethiopia has taken steps towards "a national dialogue" (will that be enough to address the conflict in Tigray?);
  • "India's main opposition party [has urged the Indian] diaspora to condemn anti-Muslim hate speech";
  • serious concerns about India's proposed laws which are allegedly about privacy protection (but are actually, the article suggests, about government commercialisation of private data);
  • an LGBTIQ+ refugee has been arrested on an international police warrant about which there are considerable misgivings (that the refugees' prominent family may be behind it) before she could travel to Australia. At least rights elsewhere have advanced
  • a staggering example of blatant - and illegal - sexist discrimination in the finance sector (which the company concerned has taken action on);
  • as expected, the misogynistic violent extremists in power in Afghanistan are tightening their clampdown on women's rights . . . and released prisoners are threatening to kill the judges who jailed them; 
  • the misogynistic rebels who have power over parts of Yemen have said that they will allow aid flights to resume after a stoppage they blamed on Saudi airstrikes;
  • "the problem with 'cripping up' and why casting disabled actors matters"
  • "a man has successfully sued [a neochristian church] after a court found it had vicarious liability for sexual abuse he says he suffered from a notorious priest 50 years ago";
  • concerns that Iran may be executing up to 100 children a year; 
  • Sudan's woes now include the collapse of a "defunct" (presumably, "closed") mine, with over 30 fatalities; 
  • a reminder that, whether a signatory to the convention or not, refugee protection is a global responsibility;
  • ten concerning conflicts to watch next year - which I will also do via here, here, and here.

Post No. 2,120 - Blocks to Changing the World

One of the biggest sources of blocks to changing the world into a better place is people - in particular, those people suffering from a Newtonian worldview, and/or LBI, and/or FBU, and/or FoC

The problems with those people are twofold:  

  • the direct blockages they cause; and 
  • the blockers they potentially teach their children to be.

 That second point is how most forms of bigotry are perpetuated. 

However, in trying to address that second point, it is VITAL to use ONLY BPM methods, as the means shapes the end (I must do a "definition" of that on my glossary one of these days . . . I refer to it quite a bit)

There are terrible examples of governments, societies or other groups enforcing a way of thinking on people without choice, and doing so for ends that fit my definition of evil - for instance, the nazis in Germany, and the Marxist-Leninist version of communism in the USSR - and what has been happening in China. 

Also highly questionable has been the social engineering of elite schools, which have been sources of misogyny and other forms of bigotry and corruption for centuries, and some religions - e.g., neochristianity, which has been a mixed bag that has included being a source of misogyny, child abuse, and other forms of bigotry and corruption for millennia.

That means trying to compel people to think in a certain way is wrong. 

Furthermore, given the resistance people have to being compelled to do anything, which can be good (e.g., the resistance to oppression seen in the USSR - and, to a lesser extent, China) or bad (e.g., the [at times violent] resistance to public health measures seen in the COVID-19 pandemic), it is questionable how effective that would as compared to patient, persistent,. intelligently adapted education - for instance, few people (outside of nations like the USA) see wearing seat belts as a bad thing, few people still consider smoking without health problems, and people have gradually started moving away from discrimination to a , if not more inclusive, at least a least exclusionary point of view. 

To make that clearer, no-one outside criminals and a few sadists / sociopaths / psychopaths considers slavery acceptable.

The changes that have been accomplished give hope that calmly presenting the facts as to why things like discrimination are wrong in schools (and elsewhere, perhaps), including supporting that with what evidence is available, and responding to any counterarguments as constructively as is possible, will reduce - not eliminate - the perpetuation of the evil that is bigotry.

However, to accomplish this, it is necessary to keep the following in mind: 

  • resisting the evil of bigotry is exhausting, and can scar those involved in it (including teachers and activists), so support and replacement / relief is necessary (much as rotating soldiers from active to behind-the-lines duty is necessary in a war - and this IS a war, one against small-mindedness, ignorance, and hate)
  • peer influences can be as or more significant than parental / authority figure influences - for better or for worse; 
  • children can influence their parents to change to being better in a wide range of ways (including some rough characters I have seen mellow and mature when they became parents); and
  • while this is being done, laws may be necessary. As the great Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. said:

It may be true that the law cannot change the heart, but it can restrain the heartless.

Everything I've written above also applies to the climate crisis, where out-of-touch dinosaurs are putting the survival of our and many other species at risk.

Post No. 2,119 - trying to track down an old book

When I was a kid in Mackay, Queensland in the 1970s, I used to frequent a local book exchange, and one of the books I was taken by was an autobiography of an English woman who had been a child in a colonial family in Hong Kong just before World War (part) Two, was evacuated (I think) during the war, and went back afterwards as a young woman. 

The book is focused on that post-war trip, which ended with her feeling confident enough to return to England. 

Along the way, she experienced two events which have stayed with me ever since I read about them back then: 

  • an elderly "wise man" (my term) named Po taught her a listening technique, where one focused on the furthest-away sound one can hear, then focuses on sounds that are progressively closer, until one starts listening within one's body (breathing and heart, etc) and then listens to the sound of silence. It is a technique I have found quite effective and powerful for me (and I know it hasn't worked for others); and 
  • after she expresses sceptical about old legends of sorcerers (again, that is my word - I'm not sure I have remembered that correctly) flying, she is introduced to two such people who take to a location on one of the hills marked by plaques. They stand in front of and behind here, and, as they "do their thing" (modern terminology, of course), she feels a wind start to build up that is so strong she feels it is about to lift them all up - and she chickens out and asks them to stop. Her description reminds me a little of the video I wrote about at Post No. 295 - Practice. (I have no personal experiences that are in any way similar to those events, so cannot comment personally.)

I've tried a few times to track the book down - obviously, without success. If anyone knows the book, it would be appreciated if they could let me know the authoress and/or title.I'd like to re-read it, but, more importantly, I'd like modern Westerners o know a little more about other parts of the world and their mystical/magickal traditions and powers - and I'd like to properly attribute the source of these incidents.

Post No. 2,118 - Logic, and Lucid Dreaming & Lucid . . . Living?

I've been writing about the problem of the left brain interpreter (LBI) (as a block to psychic ability, perpetuator of bigotry, enabler of intellectual cowardice, etc), when I found myself using logic to call out a bit of intellectual rubbish that someone standing in what looked like an open air market said in a dream, and thereby realised that I was in a dream and thus moved into a state of lucid dreaming. (I would have remembered more details but our cat woke me.)

On that, given that lucid dreaming refers to a state where one is aware that one is dreaming (see also here, here, here, and here), I wonder if a term for living in a spiritual ("mindful", to use a fad term) way could be "lucid living"? That would inherently cover living in a sustainable and inclusive way, as ignoring the climate crisis or being a bigot are inherently unspiritual.

It might also be a constructive riposte to those intellectual cowards / sufferers of LBI/FBU/FoC / enforcers of conformity (aka sock puppets of the elite) who misuse terms such as "woke" as a derogatory reference . . .

Post No. 2,117 - Annual Review of Posts in Year 2021

These are the five posts that have been most popular over the last 12 months (excluding PWRs, news posts, course lessons, and cross-posts):

And these are the five posts which don’t show up in the list of top posts that I consider are worth a further look: 

Also, one of the aspects of blogging that I find most fascinating is where people view my blogs from. This year, the five main sources of views have been (from most to least) from: 

France, the USA, Italy, Australia, and the UAE.


Post No. 2,116 - the passing of Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Yesterday saw the passing of Archbishop Desmond Tutu - a widely respected man who had an instrumental role in the ending of apartheid, and had a long history of promoting inclusivity. I had the honour of hearing him speak in my home city of Melbourne back in the 80s, and was very impressed. Others have written eloquent tributes to this genuinely Christian Archbishop: see here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here, for instance. 

RIP Archbishop Tutu - you are respected, your legacy is good, and you will be missed.

Post No. 2,115 – This Week’s Psychic Weather Report and Work No. 0288

Black Lives Matter! Be Anti-Racist, Anti-Sexist, and Actively Inclusive in ALL Areas.
The Climate Crisis is real, urgent and
existential!

The Pandemic is Real, and Vaccinations save lives. 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) while the COVID-19 pandemic is a problem.

This week’s assessment is:



I have also found a live 24-hour display of output from the Global Consciousness Project, and https://acleddata.com/conflict-pulse/ and https://acleddata.com/early-warning-research-hub/global-threat-tracker/, which I will be referring to regularly as a supplement to this.

This week’s plan is:


My approach this week will be (incidentally, if you disagree, please use your own interpretations, or your own divinations [see the monthly “World Psychic Predictions / Remote Viewing" here for an example of other approaches):

Sunday: refer to map

Monday: refer to map

Tuesday: refer to map

Wednesday: refer to map

Thursday: refer to map

Friday: refer to map

Saturday: this day will now be reserved for rest, recuperation and healing – of all those who are trying in a BPM way to make this planet a better place.
May any and all healers who wish to contribute to this, take a few minutes to contribute to this goal on this day.

(The colours for the days are:   Sunday - gold,   Monday - grey,   Tuesday - orange,   Wednesday - green,   Thursday - blue,   Friday - purple.)

Routine Explanation / commentary

My “Magickal Battle of the World”, dowsing, and other courses on this blog can be found at https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/p/on-line-courses-on-this-blog.html.

There is an introduction / reminder / explanation about these posts here (and also see here for some investigation into evidence of the effectiveness of this type of work, which shows variability [and mentions causes] and cycles in the energetic/consciousness response), and some additional comments at the end of this post. Please also note that I hope this work will be taken up by a network of competent dowsers and BPM psychic warriors (also, this blog was created for spiritual reasons, including a course: this is just part of it). See also this excellent analysis on this topic.

As you read this, consider this: how does one outflank an idea, or attack an emotion in the rear? It is as well to consider what those who are unbalanced could do to good ideas and emotions, as well as considering BPM ways to outflank or “attack in the rear” bad ideas/emotions. Also consider geopolitics, and this mapping exercise.

Remember, the meditation (see here, here, and here) consists of:

 - appropriate and responsible protection (see here, here, here), prayer and ritual (e.g., here) to establish and check protection (re-do or re-schedule, if you don’t feel safe and secure);

 - establish a personal connection to higher BPM influences;

 - flush one's aura with emerald green, royal blue and royal purple;

 - fill one’s Heart Chakra (and maybe one’s Earth Star, Solar Plexus, Third Eye and Crown Chakras) with emerald green, royal blue and royal purple; send a weave of three streams of this colour from the Chakra(s) to a visualisation of a gigantic, multi-faceted emerald (which has been created to facilitate networking of BPM workers) through your facet until you see your energy enlivening other areas of the emerald and can feel similar energies flowing back to you;

 - visualise the rune / bindrune (if given - or, on Sunday, the group of symbols provided);

 - generate  feelings of love, peace, joy and respect;

 - strengthen those feelings (energies);

 - radiate those energies to the world for nine to eighteen minutes;

 - 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 – eat, if you need to, or seek help from someone capable and trusted. As a final point, note that your BPM family of choice (i.e., friends - especially those outside this area of your life) and BPM family will help keep your life grounded - but they must be BPM: as the Wiccan  Rede says “With a fool no season spend, nor be counted as their friend”. Similarly, you should focus on all that you love in life outside this work at the end of a session - and, if you have nothing else, you must broaden your life for the sake of being balanced and thus capable (and seek expert help, if necessary); and
 - 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.

Important note: although I show the flow of energy using arrows, they are really - to continue the weather chart analogy - more like the passage of a frontal system as shown on a synoptic (“weather”) chart. Also, if I ever miss doing a Psychic Weather Report, I have posted a standard, fall-back, default version here, which I will update from time to time when needed.

My changing the personality of oppressors and other world leaders post is here. It is also worth contemplating that one of the greatest weaknesses of those who oppose Balanced Positivity is the inherent pain, suffering and negativity of their aims and means – from the personal slights, insults and traumas left by the petty tyrant or autocrat, dictator or monarch or those oligarchs who are ruthless (some at least are not; some are BPM), through the social dislocation of the economic ideologue, to the long-lasting trauma, injury, death and desolation of society caused by those who use violence or war as a means to achieve power or impose their will. It may take time, but people WILL eventually realise what is not good, and will take action – which is why slavery is no longer ubiquitous, and why the march to freedom and democracy is underway – tentatively, and with backsliding and mistakes along the way, but inexorable nevertheless.

Also, if you’re interest is healing, I have changed the way I do these posts to more clearly show opportunities for doing healing.

In addition, those interested in providing protection for others always have a place – refer to the first item from yesterday’s summation of world events (details and link above), for instance.

Finally, a reminder that if none of this is of any interest to you, but you would still like to contribute energetically / psychically to making the world a better place, there are other options – for instance, this comprehensive list, and see also here (new, as of Oct., 2020), here, here, here, here, here, here, here (and here), here, and here – and, no doubt, many other places on the internet.

Post No. 2,114 - Reading and other links

I'm going to begin this with a reminder that the work of this blog is: 

and

  • BPM  strengthening  BPM units - some nonphysical, some incarnated people . . . and one of, if not the, best ways that is done is strengthening people's connection with their own Higher Self (which is often not what they interpret as their conscience).

Having made that point, here are some links that you, Dear Reader, may find of interest or value: 

  • an interesting reflection on thinking, intelligence vs. IQ, and making mistakes; 
  • a video on the oligarchy's ultimate political weapon: cynicism; 
  • an opinion piece on the connection between personality and one's sense of right and wrong "(the five core principles [care vs harm; fairness vs cheating; loyalty vs betrayal; authority vs subversion; purity or sanctity vs degradation] were interesting)";
Human rights related links that you, Dear Reader, may find of interest or value
  • despite a notoriously backwards president, Brazil has shut down "illegal logging schemes in the Amazon that involved hundreds of companies";
  • the genocidal military junta in power in Burma have used illegal  airstrikes against a village on the border with Thailand, causing thousands to flee;
  • Russia has decided to abuse foreigners using medical xenophobia as a cover excuse; 
  • a sporting event was - quite rightly, IMO - abandoned due to racist abuse by some spectators;
  • confirmation that hormone therapy saves the lives of TGD kids as a US school's transphobia leads to $4 million damages, a sport changes its name to distance itself from a notorious transphobe, and a judge in India who admitted his bias and addressed that, has ordered "the Indian government and states to ban conversion therapy and to act against any person trying to "cure" homosexuality". Meanwhile, "the French first lady plans to sue over fake news that she was born male.";
  • neochristian schools want to sack LGBT teachers and divorced women - and STILL have failed to introduce protections for LGBT students as was promised years ago;
  • as China gives women some rights, sexism in India is causing death by suicide amongst housewives - and one Indian company is taking legal action against women who have protested against gig work rules that will reduce their income;  
  • the USA has banned "imports from China’s Xinjiang over human rights abuses"
  • so-called "security" forces in Sudan are reported to have raped and gang raped women and used live ammunition on protestors;
  • criticism of Universities for their role in colonialism, neoliberalism, the climate crisis, etc - and how to change that . . . and a criticism of the way neoliberals have "directed" research
  • "press freedom in Africa has suffered in 2021 due to growing authoritarianism and insecurity, especially in East Africa — the region most hostile to journalists on the continent";
  • a call for Japan to stop militarily aiding the genocidaires in Burma;
  • police in South Sudan are being trained in human rights, and community "collaborative policing" is happening in some African cities;  
  • the European Union has started "new legal action against Poland over [the] rule of law";
  • concern that human trafficking may surge as borders ease;
  • the US Congress has "imperilled" human rights by not passing the "Build Back Better" bill; 
  • food aid in Yemen is being cut to inadequate levels as funds run out
  • Saudi Arabia is continuing its religious bigotry as Islamophobia continues to grow in Sri Lanka; 
  • a Reuters exclusive reports that concerning allegations that violence and threats of extended incarceration are being used to force prisoners in Thailand to do harmful, unpaid labour to support for-profit companies are being investigated;
  • "experts call for [the] immediate release of [a] Kashmiri human rights defender"
  • a report on the fifteen year delay in closing money-laundering loopholes - which is pushing up house prices
  • "a Victorian man and two companies have been charged with more than 250 animal cruelty offences over the deaths of dozens of koalas during a land clearing operation" (while appalling cruelty has undoubtedly occurred, to prevent potential abuses of power persons charged are presumed innocent unless proved otherwise beyond reasonable doubt in a court law).
