Post No. 2,417 - Reading and other links [Note: Content Warning for news links - reader discretion is advised]

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.

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):

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. 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 explosion (TG) has destroyed two buildings in France (F24);   drought and insurgency crises in Somalia (rfi);   two aid workers have been killed (AJ) and humanitarian food aid stolen (AN) in Ethiopia;   “UN limits operations in Afghanistan amid the humanitarian crisis [because of] the Taliban ban [of] UN's female staff” (ABC) - see also this (UN);   volcanic eruption in Russia (TC);   Marburg virus in Equatorial Guinea (AN) and Tanzania (F24);   cultural heritage is at risk after the earthquakes in Türkiye (UN);   as the malaria outbreak in Sudan continues (rfi), “Ghana becomes first country to approve Oxford’s malaria vaccine (AJ) - see also here (TG) and here (R);   “‘fully financing’ HIV response in Africa will save millions of lives” (UN);   the experience of being hit by a tornado (ABC);   like for like rebuilding is subjecting survivors of disasters to possible repeat future events (ABC);  

Another part lists a few key points from the news, which are also an excellent opportunity to do the work of this blog. It is too long to copy here, but you can find it at the link above. 

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.

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