Post No. 3,155 - REPUBLISHED: Magickal Battle of the World Meditation - Week No. 2: Determination

I have decided to republish my 81 lesson “Magickal Battle of the World” series, one each week, as I did originally. Next week will be   03. Together

The complete series is available at https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/p/on-line-courses-on-this-blog.html   but also see   https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/p/the-magickal-battle-of-world-continued.html

Cynicism and the belief that we can do nothing are inherently flawed and destructive - they actively enable these wrongs, and those indulging in such are as guilty as those doing the wrong - those people are the same as those n_z_ s who claimed they were following orders during the Holocaust, and those who collaborated with or enabled evil everywhere, throughout history. 

Further to that, this flaw opens the way to active partnering with evil - notably, the issue that Tim Snyder refers to as “anticipatory obedience” in his book “On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century” (pub. The Bodley Head, London, 2017, ISBN 978-1-473549296).

From Chapter One of that book: “Perhaps rulers did not initially know that citizens were willing to compromise this value or that principle. . . . Because enough people in both cases voluntarily extended their services to the new leaders, Nazis and communists alike realized that they could move quickly toward a full regime change. The first heedless acts of conformity could not then be reversed. . . . The anticipatory obedience of Austrians in March 1938 taught the high Nazi leadership what was possible.”

 
What is the solution to this? 

Well, there are a few ways to approach it - hope or faith, for instance, but what I am being impressed with in this instance is Courage - the courage to have hope, the courage to act even if there seems to be no reason to hope, the courage to be one’s best - to manifest, as US President Abraham Lincoln put it, the “better angels of our nature”, no matter how bleak the situation. 

Doing so always helps - philosophically, as a matter of principle, by inspiring others, and energetically, through the psychic energy it creates - energy which cannot easily be expunged, particularly if more and more people are holding to their Courage. 

There is but one symbol this week: my bindrune for Courage.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
