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 - see also here), 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):
- living root bridges;
- “while there is nothing sexist about embracing feminine energies (past or present), too many social media reels conflate power with a stereotyped version of femininity. ... With endless reels advertising a sexist notion of femininity, feminism itself may be taking a few unholy steps backwards” (TND);
- “prescribed time in nature linked to improvements in anxiety, depression and blood pressure” (TG);
- a quotation from Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's writing (I think “Frankenstein”): “No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks”;
- my thoughts on: “the enabling and consequences of hate and amathia - including fascism and even more extreme right wing extremism [Content Warning - anger at violent bigotry]”; another anti-trans hate submission;
- from Medium this week: “life should be more than collecting content - look with your eyes, not your phone”; from an examination of self harm, “men still carry this burden — their self-worth is tied to their usefulness”;
- from YouTube: “what science says about quitting social media”; an interview covering “spirituality, theology, and finding YOUR doctrine”; thoughts by Whitley Strieber on UFOs/contact and climate change - keep your thinking caps on throughout this: I don’t agree with everything said;
- 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. Before I get in to that, a CONTENT WARNING - some of the news links are about upsetting, disturbing or triggering events & attitudes. Seek competent help - including professional - if you need it. Content shown in green (which may be only part of a news story) is about what is generally considered “good news”, but personal history may still make such events triggering. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised that linked articles may contains names and/or images of deceased people. Reader caution is recommended. For anyone distressed by anything in this post, or for any other reason considering seeking support, resources are available in Australia here, here, and here. In other nations, you will have to do an Internet search using terms such as “mental health support - <your nation>” (which, for instance, may lead to this, this, and this, in the USA, or this, this, and this, in France [biased towards English-language - my apologies]).
The news post 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):
- an appeal for aid to address the famine in Somalia (UN); drought in southern Ethiopia (R); a massive storm on the east coast of the USA (TND); one of the consequences of the earthquake in Türkiye has been the destruction of retirement plans (DW); two trains have collided and been derailed in the Netherlands (ABC); an avalanche in India (ABC); unborn babies (TC); signs and preparations for cyclones in Vanuatu (Atlas Obscura);
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:
- manufactured
moral panics and patriarchal myths continue to plague the world -
particularly the decisions of those in power, and enable evasion of
responsibility;
- the manufacturing of moral panics (M) and patriarchal myths (M), both of which have links to the right wing extremism first seen in 1930s Germany, and long reads on “the weaponisation of hypocrisy” (M) the necessity of white people understanding white people’s role in perpetuating white supremacism and that fixing white supremacism is a white people’s problem (M) - also, “white supremacy is an ideology, not a skin tone. White supremacy is not a person or people; it’s a doctrine and a cause” (M); “stop the boats: the export that should shame Australia” (SMH); the staggering rise of corporate greed (M) - manifested through the evil actions of “the Merchants of Doubt” (John Snow Project); the problem of elitist media bias and influence (MW); “crime mattered in Chicago’s Mayoral race — just not how pundits implied it would ... Brandon Johnson showed that progressives can have a persuasive response to gun violence that neither denies it exists nor claims “law and order” as the only solution” (Mother Jones);

Finally, remember: we need to be more human being rather than human doing.
