Post No. 2,299 - 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, wear a face mask in public if prudent to do so, and follow informed medical advice.

Having made those points, here are some links that you, Dear Reader, may find of interest or value (articles by others unless stated otherwise)

  • from Medium this week:   a thoughtful examination of intentions and harm;   on real self improvement based on welcoming and then doing something about negative feelings;   the benefits of discipline rather than punishment;   Joe Biden’s voicemail to Hunter Biden is the masculinity we need;   some white guy thoughts on discussing race and gender - is the progressive online space really no country for white men?;   the success of the Brexiteers has made me understand why Hitler succeeded in Nazi Germany;  
  • my thoughts on:   ageism;   a poem on my heritage, which is something I have found out a fair bit about of late - including the Indigenous;  
  • an interesting podcast interview with two Indigenous elders on Yowies (and respect for country) - which I came to via Whitley Striebers interview with Simeon Hein (which proposes an interesting view on the nature of large cryptids)
  • a podcast meditation which may be of value to some of you, Dear Readers; 
  • an examination of core memories- which is phrase/concept I hadnt heard of before;
  • from this weeks news post: the latest cyber hack (TND) and, for contrast, an example of how learn from hacks and prevent future problems (TG);   fines will be increased (yeah, yeah, whatever - we NEED a pre-emptive independent certification scheme so consumers can have confidence rather than being coerced) (ABC) - see also this (data hacks show how a 'decade of anti-security policy' is putting Australia at risk) (ABC) and this (We need to come to a regime where it should be on need-to-know basis, and there should be expiration dates (on collected data)) (ABC);
  • 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: 

One part of the post covers natural and other disasters, which are always an excellent opportunity to do the work of this blog, so I will copy that section here: 

  • on NATURAL and OTHER DISASTERS (noting Article 1(3) of the UN Charter)
    • hundreds have been killed by floods in Nigeria (CNN) and millions are at risk (UN);   what flood survivors in Australia need (TC), and the risks of disease (TG), and more on the floods in my home state (TND) - which showed the need for translators (TG);   a warning the crisis in Haiti - including cholera (HRW) - has gone beyond a political solution (UN) although sanctions will be tried (UN), as rapidly increasing global demand leads to rationing of cholera vaccine (TG);   famine should not exist in 2022, yet Somalia faces its worst yet. Wealthy countries, pay your dues (TC);   a plane crash in Russia (TG);   a targetted lockdown for the Ebola outbreak in Uganda (CNN);   the war has caused a health crisis for millions of people in Tigray (UN);   advice on surviving an earthquake (YT);  
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.
