Post No. 2,229 - Reading and other links

Im going to begin this with a reminder that the work of this blog is:

and

  • BPM  strengthening of 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 possibly not what they interpret as their conscience).

Also:

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.

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

  • an interesting critique of the notion that one should minimise or negate the self states the self is the framework through which we find meaning
  • how to turn off your brain and listen to your intuition
  • some very interesting Japanese proverbs, including: “boasting begins where wisdom stops”, and “if you understand everything you must be misinformed”
  • there’s a colossal difference between not caring and letting go
  • a young family is moving to nomadic van life - why work hard all your life to retire and drop dead?
  • a calling out of hypocrisy over assumptions vs. the reality of equality
  • from a blog I follow: thoughts on being balanced in chaos;
  • human-like programs abuse our empathy
  • thoughts on retiring stoicism, which originated in the era of slavery and defined freedom” and freedom from emotions, and starting to learn from our emotions - and similarly, from here, “While the stoic individual may feel less pain, that is because they have become dulled to, and accept, the injustices of the world” (PS - see also this critique of the mindfulness fad);
  • a simple judge of someone’s character is how people treat other humans and animals;
  • this weeks afterlife report by the Zammits

In preparation for tomorrows psychic weather report, I do a weekly summary of news links - every one of which is an opportunity to do the work of this blog, which I outlined at the start of this post. That can be accessed at:  https://politicalmusingsofkayleen.blogspot.com/2022/06/some-human-rights-and-other-news-links_18.html.

I generally do the PWRs on Sunday in Australia, with an aim to get it online by 8pm on the Australian east coast - which, in the southern winter, is midday in Geneva, 11am in London, 6am in New York, and 3am on the US west coast.
