Post No. 3,485 - Some (hopefully) interesting reading / viewing / listening - Saturday 11th July, 2026

I recently found the following interestingoand/orouseful, and amoposting themohere in case anyone else does as well.  

  • “In Conversation with Courtney Buterbaugh”   https://youtu.be/vGqnPwFrW0A   “We discovered Courtney Buterbaugh on SubStack a while ago. One morning Mary read me one of her articles and it was outstanding and important.   First one was her reflection on "Disclosure Day." It hit every point perfectly. I could have never expressed it so well.   The other amazing article was about Patriarchy and how woman experiencers have been treated by the media and men in general. We talk about these things but we also explore her experiences with the greys.   In our conversation she brought up something that triggered a forgotten memory of my own that relates directly to Disclosure Day directly. It was a very emotional moment for us both.   Experiencers are finding each other and coming together. This is a moment in the history of this subject like no other. Something is about to happen. Something wonderful.”   
  • “Bizarre Rhythm of 2hz That Seems to Be Universal to Life”   https://youtu.be/_65bAl9JsIE   “Hello and welcome! My name is Anton and in this video, we will talk about a strange 2hz rhythm that seems to be common in animals”   Chapter headings are:   “Universal pulse of life?   Other rhythms known to us: Schumann's resonance,   Pulse of life seems to be a bit different - fireflies and crickets,   Other animals - the Taylor Swift constant,   Why 2 Hz? Biophysical explanation,   Testing the hypothesis,   Potential explanation and relations to human language, Conclusions and implications”   This was interesting, I thought - particularly in light ofopastoscepticism on this topic   AND   “Shocking Confirmation That Liquid Water Is Two Separate Substances”   https://youtu.be/U-hsN9VIgEY   “Hello and welcome! My name is Anton and in this video, we will talk about the bizarre states of liquid water.”   Chapter headings are:   “Water is more bizarre than we thought,   Why is liquid water so strange?,   Strange phase transition,   Most recent discovery of 2 states, Why this matters,   Conclusions”   
  • from   https://substack.com/@ashelycrouch/note/c-289092295 :   “English is such a possessive language, which I only realized after studying Scottish Gaelic in university.   ...   In Gaelic the sense of ownership over things and people that we see in many Western European languages/cultures does not exist. The land is seen as a living being and words have gender because the world is animate, imbued with spirits and life forces in rivers and mountains.   In Gaelic you don’t say “Mary has a child,” you say “There is a child at Mary,” and this connotation implies that Mary does not possess or own the child, but that they are related.   In much the same way, you wouldn’t say that you “own” land. There is a beautiful concept called Dùthchas, which stresses the interconnectedness of people, land, culture, including an ecological balance among humans and more than human. We “steward” the land that nourishes us.”   
  • “Alien UFO Podcast: UFOS: Not For Disclosure”   https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/alien-ufo-podcast/id1602263087?i=1000775624807   “This week I'm talking to Jonathan Caplan about his book 'Not For Disclosure UFOS: The World's Best Kept Secret'. When former US intelligence officer David Grusch testified under oath to Congress in 2023 that the United States possessed crashed non-human craft, global attention shifted overnight. But the full story has been kept from the public. Until now. For over fifty years, Jonathan Caplan KC has gathered extraordinary testimony from scientists, intelligence officers, politicians and military insiders across the world – assembling what may be the most comprehensive body of evidence yet on the existence of UAPs (previously known as UFOs). Now in Not For Disclosure, Caplan reveals the truth behind a reality long denied, uncovering a pattern of secrecy stretching from covert Cold War programmes to alleged presidential briefings and clandestine recovery operations. He also presents significant material relating to President John F. Kennedy, secret meetings involving President Truman and Secretary Forrestal, and previously unpublished documents connected to the mysterious 'Majestic 12' group.  https://www.amazon.com/Not-Disclosure-UFOS-Worlds-Secret-ebook/dp/B0FKYD1YDW     

 

On neurodivergence and associated matters:    

  • “Why autistic burnout is so oftenomistaken for depression, and why that confusion keeps people from getting the right understanding and support”   https://neurotribe.substack.com/p/why-autistic-burnout-is-so-often   “Autistic burnout is one of those experiences that can go unnamed for years, even while it is quietly reshaping a person’s life.”     

 

On society, governance, human rights, etc:    

  • “From the Caribbean tooHormuz: The GlobaloConflict No One is Seeing”   https://youtu.be/3P0SdlyEjck   “The world’s oceans are witnessing a level of conflict not seen in decades. In this episode of What’s Going on With Shipping?, we analyse the rapid escalation of maritime warfare across three key regions: the Caribbean, the Black Sea, and the Strait of Hormuz. From the U.S. Southern Command’s strikes on [alleged] narco-vessels to Ukraine’s massive drone offensive against the Russian fleet, and the latest Iranian attacks on commercial tankers, we break down why these “out of sight” events have a habit of triggering global crises.”   

 

My recent article(s) on SubStack:   

  • Two posts on my blog and a longer than usual article on Patreon left not time or energy fpor contributing to Substack this week.    

 

My recent article(s) on Patreon (basic membership is free):   

  • “How to fulfil multiple role requirements in a small company”   https://www.patreon.com/KayWhiteCoachingServices/posts/how-to-fulfil-in-163360950   “A 2024 article titled "How many people to implement an intersectional gender equity plan – at least five people," presented significant insights about the importance of adequate resourcing for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices - it is necessary to have  multiple skilled individuals, which is a challenge for small businesses.   PART A   A comparable concern for small businesses is how professionals, such as engineers, can ensure independent checking of their work when lacking adequate resources (the potential dangers of self-checking include inadequate expertise, susceptibility to groupthink, the perpetuation of errors, and potential inability to devise necessary solutions). Finding solutions for that may require: (1) addressing expertise by maintaining CPD, hiring specialists when necessary, work within the scope of defined expertise, and seek a mentor. (2) The issue of “one person groupthink” needs to be addressed by studying and refining the ability to think, and addressing emotions in thinking processes (particularly in workplaces), and mentoring. (3) Mitigating the problem of self-perpetuating error loops requires:  diverse checking methods;  facilitating good thinking by adequate rest and stress management;  if possible, hiring an expert;  and  effective communication with clients and stakeholders. (4) if you cannot provide the type of solution your client wants, do NOT take the project on. (5) To manage things that are unknown, work carefully with the client to define and agree the scope, comply with professional expectations, and carry adequate insurance as a back up. More importantly, the aspect of uncertainty is one that should be thought about from time to time.   PART B  In a small company with limited turnover, crucial roles like DEI may only be fulfilled by one overworked individual, complicating the ability to switch between tasks. This person must effectively transition focus from administrative duties to addressing essential topics, such as gendered violence strategies, while managing other business goals. Techniques like "pointing and calling" from Japanese rail systems can enhance focus and reduce errors. Staying updated through professional newsletters, joining relevant organizations, and utilizing expert help for major system updates are also recommended to improve communication and efficiency in a constrained environment.”

Post No. 2,991 - Full Moon Esbat, Re-dedication, friends, and retirement

For this months Full Moon Esbat I basically did the Correllian Traditions Outer Court Self Dedication - which is a re-dedication, in my case. 

I was initiated into the First Degree during my previous membership, but, owing to a couple of decades of wear and tear, including the challenges of coming to terms with probably being neurodivergent, I am not going to attempt to take on the roles and responsibilities of being a Priestess. (I also attained Second and Third Degree Initiations in another Tradition, one which I was an Elder in ... and which I wound up to resolve some problems [although the only active Temple then continued - quite successfully - as a Coven], but I doubt that would have any significance in the Correllian Tradition.)

The Correllian Tradition is not exclusive, so I will also continue with the Pagan path I have developed over my lifetime - which is an eclectic mix including some Western Mystery Tradition (especially the LBRP), Spiritualism (including working as a trance medium - mainly for spirit rescue), and other aspects.

However, I am getting some of the social connection in spirituality through my (limited, as I refuse to use any M_ t_ products, such as F_ c_ b__k) membership. 

On that, I have also noticed that many of my working tools (especially my small crystals ... and some items my former partner saved when I was too determined to downsize my possessions at any cost [Diolch Cariad/Mandaang Guwu Ngubaanbularr]) just wish to share space with me and each other, and there is no drive to do any particular work. 

It is almost as if, when I retired from day job, my crystals and other tools decided it was time for me to slow down energetically as well ... 

It is quite a shift, in some ways. In the past, if I felt the urge to take a particular crystal with me when I left the house, I would try to discern what work had to be done. Now, it is just a couple of old timers, one organic, one not, having a quiet day trip.

Going back to work, I am still wanting to finish and get my books out in some way; I wonder if the Correllian Tradition might be one outlet I could use? (Although they seem to not use e-books ... they do have some, but my techniques would be too different so I’ll put that in the “probably not” category) 

Ah well, it is all food for thought, and it is very late here - although I am finding being semi-nocturnal helps me get the things I want done, without having to cope with the daytime summer heat. 

 

Blessed Be
