Post No. 3,471 - Some (hopefully) interesting reading / viewing / listening - Saturday, 13th June, 2026

I recently found the following interesting and/or useful, and am posting them here in case anyone else does as well.  

The topic of disclosure has been prominent of late, largely because of Steven  Spielberg’s latest movie  “Disclosure  Day”, with articles including: 

• “Meredith Spearman and the Maze to Metanoia”   https://mikeclellandowls.substack.com/p/meredith-spearman-and-the-maze-to   “We are confronted with initiation   ...   In December of last year, five short months ago, a Substack appeared, and it made quite a splash. It’s titled ⁠Maze to Metanoia⁠, and it’s authored by a shining new voice in this field—Meredith Spearman.”   This was an excellent interview and conversation   

• “Daimons & The Architecture of Contact (Pt III)”   https://mazetometanoia.substack.com/p/daimons-and-the-architecture-of-contact-7eb   “The Map   This is Part Three of a three-part series. What follows is legible on its own terms. The taxonomy is complete here, and the map is the map, but Parts One and Two built the foundation this essay stands on” (links to and précis of earlier parts provided in the article)   

• “Who Catches Us”   https://mazetometanoia.substack.com/p/who-catches-us   “On the quiet importance of building a floor under the extraordinary”   

• “For a moment, we were all experiencers”   https://courtneybuterbaugh.substack.com/p/for-a-moment-we-were-all-experiencers   “A few (non-spoiler-y) midnight thoughts on Disclosure Day”    

• “Disclosure Day: A Loaded Zeitgeist”   https://nicolevandeneng.substack.com/p/disclosure-day-a-loaded-zeitgeist   “No Spoilers”   

• From Whitley Strieber’s “Unknown Country” news page:   ““If This Is My Final Duty of Public Service”: Grusch Joins New Disclosure Appeal - WHITLEY STRIEBER'S UNKNOWN COUNTRY”   https://unknowncountry.com/headline-news/if-this-is-my-final-duty-of-public-service-grusch-joins-new-disclosure-appeal/   This report includes a link (https://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ViewImage.aspx?B=30030606&S=7&R=0) to an Australian UFO document which covers the period 1957 to 1971, with comments about   the disinterest of the RAAF (some assessments were utterly farcical),   the allocation of resources to other priorities,   and   (on download page 7):   “The CIA became alarmed at the overloading of military communications during the mass sightings of 1952 and considered the possibility that the USSR may take advantage of such a situation.” That, and the actions that followed from it (i.e., the “debunking” was to - apart from other reasons - keep military comms open) explains a fair bit to me (and I note the comments about some US actions/decisions being illogical - e.g., on download page 13: “The analysts could not find a way to reduce those odds sufficiently further to warrant additional testing, and irrationally considered the results to be “inconclusive”).”   The data table (and discussion) on download page 12 showing that reports with better reliability also had a higher percentage classification as “unknown” is striking.   The comment on download page 8 that “It would appear wrong for Australia to remain ignorant of the true situation”, and the listed lack of resources, still applies here, IMO.   See also:

• “The Gods Are Alive And Speaking”   https://www.patheos.com/blogs/johnbeckett/2026/06/the-gods-are-alive-and-speaking.html   “The loudest voices in our wider society scream that there is only one God and he stopped speaking two thousand years ago. And also, they and only they know exactly what this God wants. That’s another rant for another time.   The second loudest voices in our society scream that there are no Gods and that anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.   Meanwhile, those of us who have experienced one or more of the Many Gods know that they are alive and they are speaking. We need not – and should not – try to out-scream the others. ... We simply need to listen to our Gods, and to discern the best ways to embody their virtues and values in our lives.”

On June 29, lawmakers, researchers and military representatives will gather at the National Assembly to examine what that experience can contribute to one of the most controversial subjects in modern public discourse.”

Esoteric traditions have described postmortem states for millennia. Depth psychology mapped archetypal transition imagery throughout the twentieth century. None of these bodies of work talk to each other. The result is a field fragmented by disciplinary silos, ideological commitments, and the assumption that symbolic content is equivalent to literal description. Materialists dismiss the data. Religionists literalise the imagery. New Age frameworks conflate symbol with destination. Reverse Engineering the Afterlife operates at the structural level, extracts the cross-tradition pattern, and builds a named explanatory model— the Consciousness Transition Model—that accounts for the data without requiring faith in any tradition's myth-language.”

As a physician who treats fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and hypermobile EDS, I need to talk about what Dr. Howard Schubiner’s new book gets right, and the critical gap it leaves for neurodivergent patients. In this video I respond directly to clips from Dr. Schubiner’s most recent interviews and show why the neuroplastic pain model — as well-researched as it is — was not built with autistic, ADHD, or otherwise neurodivergent patients in mind. Using data from the 2026 BSMS study and Dr. Mark Lumley's research on alexithymia, I explain why standard Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) and TMS protocols often produce small or no benefit for this population — and what a better framework looks like. Topics covered:    Why "most people with chronic pain" statistics systematically exclude neurodivergent patients   — The developmental architecture argument: why a neurodivergent nervous system isn't "trained into" pain the same way   — Alexithymia and why emotional processing therapies fail when the foundational skill is missing   — The Masking Tax: the hidden chronic stress load that standard PRT protocols never address   — What neurodivergent patients actually need from a pain treatment framework   This is not an attack on Dr. Schubiner or Pain Reprocessing Therapy. It is a call to expand the model.”

• “Research shows that individuals who challenge harmful group norms often face resistance, even when they are factually correct (Near & Miceli, 2016; Kennedy & Anderson, 2017).   Truth creates friction.   Not because it is false.   But because it interrupts what others have AGREED NOT TO SEE!   That is the cost of clarity.”   https://substack.com/@niyatikadakia/note/c-264319668

My article(s) on SubStack: 

• From https://substack.com/profile/322283803-kayleen-gnwmythr/note/c-271916760: “Recently I listened to a livestream on YouTube where the presenter and audience interacted over (vague claims of) cures for disabilities (Down’s syndrome and wearing glasses were discussed … ). As a chronically ill disabled person who also has a neurological difference:   (1) there are disabilities that a cure would result in an easier life for the disabled person;   (2) the motivation of many people seeking cures is, in MY experience, too often that the cure seeker wants life to be easier for them, not the disabled person - the cure seeker wants to avoid having to address their ableism and the ableist and in other ways discriminatory systems, structures, and behaviours of the world.   IMO, the bigotry and general fear of difference I described as point (2) is a form of emotional-psychological disability that requires an urgent cure - even if every other form of disability was somehow cured overnight.”     

Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider: 

• there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”;  
• I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

Post No. 2,958 - An act of hate has been declared an act of t_rr_r_sm

Last week’s reflection post included the following: 

There has also been a violent, antisemitic  act of hate with an arson attack on a synagogue in my home city.

As has been expected, that has now  been  declared an act of t_rr_r_sm (my apologies for the typing, but I need to be careful I don’t run afoul of Blogger’s rules). 

This is not the first incident of t_rr_r_sm in my home city - in fact, I was working in the city in the Queen St offices of the company I worked for at the time, less than one km from Russell Street in 1986, and felt our building shake. 

That was a shocking event, but we’re in a different era now - perhaps the second era, in many ways, since those days, when such terrible events are more frequent ... but the shock is still felt. 

The Jewish Council of Australia (JCA) issued a press release with the sentiment - which I agree with - that this attack is an attack on all of us. 

And that sentiment applies to all such events, wherever they happen, and I note this list includes 71 events for this year to the end of November. 

To be included on a list, an event must meet criteria. Australia, as with other nations, has a legal definition of t_rr_r_sm - and these definitions will vary somewhat (see here for an examination of the differences in definitions in Africa).

Our laws (this is a good summary, and this is a more detailed outline) include protocols for listing organisations as t_rr_r_st (including  H___s [partially listed in 2003, comprehensively listed in 2022] and H_______h [2021]), addressing financing, prevention, counter  t_rr_r_sm, and my understanding is that some consideration is required before events are declared, but I can’t find any commentary on that. 

It is clear, in my opinion, that some such procedure has been followed, as several days have passed between the event and the declaration. This is good, as the term can also be misused - for instance, as a pejorative term. 

And in the current emotionally loaded climate, avoiding misuse is important. 

The declaration increases the powers and resources which can be used - see, for instance,   “The Melbourne synagogue fire is being treated as a terror attack. Here’s why that matters”   https://theconversation.com/the-melbourne-synagogue-fire-is-being-treated-as-a-terror-attack-heres-why-that-matters-245558      

As an example of those additional powers and resources, this has led to the Australian Federal Police also establishing an antisemitism taskforce to address other events as well as this one.

The establishment of such actions under a pre-defined system means the sorts of mistakes  made after 9/11 (and although in  another nation I well remember that terrible day) are more likely to be avoided - and, in their newsletter today, the JCA stated they “heartened by the overwhelming flow of solidarity from across the community, including our friends at the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network and the Islamic Council of Victoria”. 

From here police will do their work - and that should be free of distractions from emotive, biased people. 

Other gravely concerning, appalling events in West Asia will also continue to be assessed (e.g., by the ICC and the ICJ). 

And those who do the work of this blog should continue to clear the nonBPM, heal and/or spirit rescue the victims, and strengthen the BPM - and do NOT try being psychic detective. Even if such methods worked the evidence they revealed would be inadmissible in court and thus worse than useless, as verifying it would take police resources away from evidence that is admissible and thus useful. 

PS - I will add a few news links here, beginning with this one: 

“AFP taskforce to target antisemitism as Asio boss warns politically motivated violence a ‘principal’ concern”   https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/dec/09/afp-antisemitism-taskforce-albanese-government-asio-boss-ntwnfb   “The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) director general, Mike Burgess, urged all Australians to “watch our words”, raising concerns about rhetoric leading to inflamed tensions. The attorney general, Mark Dreyfus, said Friday’s fire at the Adass Israel called for a “time for national unity””     

Also, whoever did this was as destructive of the Palestinian cause as the ultra-narcissists of H___s 

These news reports show my main concerns are valid: that some - NOT ALL! - people would take this event as an excuse to impose anti-Palestinian discrimination, or to minimise/deny human rights abuses against Palestinians: 

“‘Intimidatory’: Antisemitism envoy says city streets no place for pro-Palestinian protests”   https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/intimidatory-antisemitism-envoy-says-city-streets-no-place-for-pro-palestinian-protests/u4h0z202u   “... comments have been described by one Palestinian advocate as “a thinly veiled attempt" to "silence critics of the Israeli government””      See also   “Antisemitism envoy criticised over 'dangerous' call to ban pro-Palestinian city protests”   https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/antisemitism-envoy-criticised-over-dangerous-call-to-ban-pro-palestinian-city-protests/u4h0z202u     

“‘Harmful’: Liberal senator’s ‘fictitious Islamophobia’ claim condemned”   https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/liberal-senator-dave-sharmas-fictitious-islamophobia-claim-condemned/5wqbmxqc2   “Liberal senator Dave Sharma's remark that Islamophobia is "fictitious" has been criticised by Muslim groups who described them as "deeply concerning" and said they risk undermining the lived experience of victims”      

“Australia’s UN Gaza ceasefire vote praised, but critics label it a mark of shame’”   https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/australias-un-gaza-ceasefire-vote-praised-but-critics-label-it-a-mark-of-shame/2bji3t0m6   “Australia was among 158 countries supporting the resolution, which also called for the release of hostages held by H___s”   This is a powerful statement by the world: it would have been far more likely to be effective had it happened BEFORE 7^th October ... Dithering on human rights is devastating     

A more positive reaction to events is: 

“Religious leaders condemn ‘irrational’ attacks after ‘devastating’ synagogue blaze”   https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/religious-leaders-condemn-irrational-attacks-after-devastating-synagogue-blaze/3z2lz3m91   “Recent antisemitic attacks in Sydney and Melbourne have ignited widespread condemnation and calls for unity from religious and political leaders across Australia”     

This shows the dangers of poorly thought out or rushed reactions: 

“Clergy abuse survivors hit out at moves to ban protests outside Australian places of worship”   https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/dec/13/clergy-abuse-survivors-hit-out-at-moves-to-ban-protests-outside-australian-places-of-worship   “Those who protested outside Catholic churches believe they would have been arrested if such laws were in place”     

And this is a very telling opinion: 

“I don’t need Peter Dutton to tell me as a Jewish person how to respond to antisemitism”   https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/dec/12/i-dont-need-peter-dutton-to-tell-me-as-a-jewish-person-how-to-respond-to-antisemitism-ntwnfb   “Politics was the last thing on my mind when I saw parts of the Melbourne synagogue reduced to ashes after the fire”

• there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”;
