I’m going to begin this with a reminder that the work of this blog is:
- clearing nonBPM nonphysical units (in a sense, doing the shadow work of the world), including doing spirit rescues,
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.
We also need to be more human being rather than human doing.
Having made those points, here are some links that you, Dear Reader, may find of interest or value (articles by others unless stated otherwise):
- I updated my “definition” of “negative learning” to include the following:
To put this into context, consider the following, from “Nine Lies About Work: A Freethinking Leader’s Guide to the Real World” by Marcus Buckingham, Ashley Goodall:
“Positive
attention, in other words, is thirty times more powerful than negative
attention in creating high performance on a team. (It’s also, if you’re
keeping score, twelve hundred times more powerful than ignoring people)”
- “I was feeling anxious and an imposter, then my buddy said: ‘Judge yourself by your friends’”;
- this is not bad - particularly the warning against predictions as people use the to abdicate responsibility and freewill but also the descriptions around passing over, but I disagree with victim thinking being a problem when it is often what drives making the world a better place, and the use of neochristian terminology is grating - it is still worth thinking about viewing;
- the problem of archaeological bias ruling children out of being active, contributory members of society - which also ignores the role of children in less industrialised nations now and all nations within a century or two;
- “it’s important to educate teens about the logical connections between our evolutionary past, social groups and moral beliefs. This will contribute toward a more secular consensus around what is right and wrong, thus removing some key moral contradictions in the social and cultural environment, and provide a truer north for youth to calibrate their moral compasses. This will likely help temper aberrant moral convictions during adolescence, such as racism and homophobia, and help teens navigate the increasingly complex social issues they are likely to encounter as adults”;
- another alternative to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs;
- my thoughts on: burying power lines;
- this week’s “afterlife report” by the Zammits.
In preparation for tomorrow’s 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):
- on the earthquake in Türkiye and Syria: anger (DW), including at not learning from past disastrous earthquakes (TG) (see also this [TG]), has led to violence (TG) and the shutdown (TND) of some aid operations; unexpected survivals (SBS) and the critical survival consequences (ABC) of the devastation; “more aid reaches Syria’s quake victims but it’s not enough” (UN); the death toll is expected to double (as of Monday) (TG); the differences of the situations in Syria and Türkiye (TND) - see also here (TC); Syria has opened (TG) two (UN) more border crossings; the waiting (F24); more on secondary crises (TC); “children sleep in streets, too afraid to go home after quake disaster” (UN); an appeal for funds for Syria (UN); regional politics will be impacted (Lowy); alleged looters are being attacked (so mob (in)justice could be happening) (DW);
- “Syria’s future generation of young people is being lost due to the multiple crises affecting the country, according to a senior official at the UN World Health Organisation” (UN); fifty bushfires in Qld (ABC) and one with toxic smoke in SA (TG), and heatwaves (TND) and storms in northern Australia generally (TND); a cyclone has impacted Norfolk Island (TND) - see also this (ABC) and New Zealand (TG) - see also this (TND), this (TG), this (TG), this (TG), and this (TND) - and New Zealand has also had an earthquake (ABC) - see also this (TND) ... and this all proves power lines should be underground (TC); floods in South Africa (The Citizen); a Marburg virus outbreak in Equatorial Guinea (HA) - see also this (UN); “eight countries eliminated a neglected tropical disease in 2022” (Nature); a fatal mine accident in Australia (TG); a heatwave in Australia (TG); the devastating floods in Pakistan have exposed the government’s hypocrisy for its attacks on climate activists (DW);
Another part lists a few key points from the news, which are also an excellent opportunity to do the work of this blog, so I will also copy that section here:
- the
continued intensification of the vicious transgenocide in the USA and
attacks on democracy - including by Israel, which continues to destroy
its international standing, are notable this week. Against that, there
have also been notable advances towards good - in Spain and the FDA.
Toxic personalities and personality aspects/expressions continue to not
be addressed, and the climate crisis, COVID pandemic, and natural
disasters get little to token or no attention/response. In other words,
most of the world continues to shove its head in the sand, leaving advances to a dedicated, perceptive, and ethical few;
- outstanding advances for women (including menstrual law) and LGBTIQA+ people in a new Spanish law (HRW); diversity plans will be required for medical trials (Nature); as one US state moves to try to kill trans adults as well as trans children (M), revelations that the prior bullying of two murdered queer kids was ignored (M); “the global wall-building boom suggests a return to divisive cold war mindsets. It marks a failure of progressive politics – and reflects the resurgence of authoritarian ideologies of fear, separation and difference. More to the point, geopolitically, ethically and practically speaking, this damaging policy is a dud. Walls won’t work” (TG); AI should not control nuclear weapons (Washington Examiner); an examination of the appeal of the toxic masculinity of the so-called “manosphere” (TC) as referrals of male followers of a notorious violent misogynist currently in jail in Romania to a UK counter-extremism body increase (TG) and a call is made for parents to talk to sons about that misogynist (TG); a survivor of two gun massacres has appealed for real change in the USA (TND) - where “one in 20 US homicides are committed by police – and the numbers aren’t falling” (TG); “a team of Israeli contractors who claim to have manipulated more than 30 elections around the world using hacking, sabotage and automated disinformation on social media has been exposed in a new investigation” (TG) - see also this (F24); emotional intelligence has declined globally (6 Seconds research); a suggestion to aim for harmony rather than balance (Aeon); “‘catfish[ers]’ ... have higher psychopathy, sadism, and narcissism” (TC);
