Post No. 3,404 - Keep doing the work of this blog to contain/stop the war in West Asia

There have been some major developments regarding the war in West Asia: 

• in the Straits of Hormuz: 
• insurance issues have apparently been resolved [1]; 
• Chinese vessels do not appear to be exempted from attacks [1], which raises doubts about the ability of China to contain the actions of Iran (which may, in turn, have significant adverse outcomes for Iran at a future date);  
• attacks on merchant vessels have occurred [1]; 
• the US navy does not have the number/type of vessels to escort convoys [1];  

• the possibility of the USA taking and removing Iran’s nuclear materials has been raised & discussed [2] - which may, IMO, make some other forms of attack by Iran more likely, but the difficulty of the USA doing that means it has officially been limited to “being considered” ... for now; 

• the possibility of battlefield nuclear weapons are being discussed [3] - I suspect, in the case of the USA, possibly as part of any military action to try to recover Iran's nuclear materials, but Israel could be the one to use nuclear weapons; 

• the risk to desalinisation plants is major [4].

All of this means it is even more vital to continue the work of this blog with a view to: 

• BPM  stopping the war from spreading (and especially preventing any further t_ror_r_sm); 

• getting nations/organisations/people to BPM  take a broader, longer term (including of impacts on their reputations), and more humane BPM  perspective, and BPM  comply with the laws of war & IHL and de-escalate;  

• continue to BPM  weaken the nonBPM on all levels of reality;  

• ensuring all casualties BPM  receive BPM  prompt, adequate, and effective rescue & aid; 

• ensuring those who have died are BPM  helped to pass over (spirit rescue);  

• all those impacted by these events, both directly and indirectly (there are many people outside West Asia who have relatives/friends/colleagues there, the cost impacts are going to cause a lot of harm globally, and many people's mental health will suffer), receive all the BPM  protection, healing, and other aid they need;  

• BPM  minimising the death, injury, and devastation; 

• BPM  preparing the way for BPM  future recovery and rebuilding; and  

• make sure the E_st__n files are still receiving attention and the quest for justice and healing for the victims, and prevention of any similar future events, continues.

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).

Post No. 2,855 - A couple of thoughts - on mindfulness, and victims who are harming others

I came to a bit of a realisation in a recent conversation with a friend: 

It seems to me that a lot of mindfulness teaching is focused on the physical world, and that may reflect the need to overcome the profound disconnection between emotions and self in the “Western  world” (which has often arisen, it seems to me because of the “stiff upper lip” / Protestant work ethic thing).

However: the world of ideas is also a valid world, and there are, I suspect, times when it is better to focused on being mindfully in the world of mind / ideas, rather than physical sensations and immediate but suppressed emotions.

The advantages of being mindful on ideas includes:   not “accidentally” engaging in unethical and/or harmful behaviour,   being better able to to maintain personal boundaries,   not forgetting to work on making the world a better place,   and recognising the reality of, and begins to develop the ability to engage with, the “subtle” world  - nonphysical  levels of reality in my parlance, but also as shown in this diagram: 

Going back to mindfulness: 

• as used by Western psychology, it is a cultural appropriation from Buddhist and other Asian meditation practices, and actually is a prelude to proper meditation;  

• there are other exercises for building awareness - such as the exercise attributed to the misogynistic mystic Gurdjieff, relayed via his pupil Ouspensky, where one practices focusing in detail on all the input from one sense, and then practices focusing on all sense at the same time. This is still focused on the physical, and was developed by Gurdjieff (or Ouspensky) to, in their language, “wake up” humans.
  

Next:   What do you do about an insecure victim who is harming others? 

Stop them ... 

This a less severe variation of the problem of a dog with rabies: the dog is a victim, but it could cause harm to others, and, sadly, must be stopped. 

As a variation on that, Mary  Trump wrote a book [Simon & Schuster; Apple Books; Amazon] about how her family’s abuse “created” Donald Trump. 

So ... if he is a victim, what does one do? 

Well, given the massive harm he is doing, those actions MUST be stopped first and foremost. 

In Trump’s case, healing him is probably something that can’t be done until his next life; in the case of many other people, healing may be possible if it is offered early enough. 

There are two important provisos on that. 

Firstly, many people are incapable of allowing for worldviews that are outside theirs, and thus may actually be enforcing social conditioning/”normative” behaviours/values - or even try to enforce social status approaches - when they try to “help”. That all boils down to some versions of “help” actually being active manifestations of harm - attempts to “convert” (actually torture) people out of being neurodivergent or LGBTQIASB+, which is a particularly vicious combination of bigotry, violently enforced conformity, and personal suppression of discomfort. 

Secondly, freedom of choice must be respected: unless you have valid and good legal authority or are in an intimate relationship, you can offer help, but must accept the person’s choice even if that is to reject your offer (and the choices of action in an intimate relationship are around negotiating boundaries etc and possibly leaving - and letting the other person know what the consequences of them not changing might be). 

The other key issue here is how people are stopped. In general, that can be done with kindness in many situations - just don’t be patronising, condescending, or superficial (spiritual bypassing and the  various  toxic  manifestations are particular problems). 

And it must be done nonviolently - this blog is about psychic work: leave physical interventions to police. 

Also, self care is vitally important.
