Post No. 3,402 - Interesting reading / viewing

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

• “The Hidden Cost of Being the Reliable One”   https://youtu.be/g1_UUosU-6Q   

• “Mind2Mind: What Science Reveals About Telepathic Bonds”   available free to the public until 20th March 2026 (USA dates) here   This was another very interesting (actually, fascinating, for me) set of soundly conceived and performed experiments - including a live demo (not exactly the same as the experimental technique). This was aimed at something not done enough in professional fields, IMO: replication - which does not come with glory and tributes and names on papers, but is essential in determining what is valid or not. In this case, the results were modest but statistically significant overall, but also downplayed the sorts of connections between people that are often assumed to be make telepathic connection more likely (e.g., being related). The selection process was outstanding, and the next stages are also going to be very useful.   

• “The Most Harmful Spiritual Myth: Gendered Energy”   https://leftbrainmystic.substack.com/p/the-most-harmful-spiritual-myth-gendered   “Why there is no such thing as the divine feminine or the divine masculine”   Worth thinking about ...   

 

 

• “How I got my energy back after years of autistic fatigue - YouTube”   https://youtu.be/JO3zIZqgA9E   

• “I finally understand how my brain works | Autism From The Inside - YouTube”   https://youtu.be/YDcId2GbuL8    

 

 

• “Is the "Civil Resistance" Crowd Misleading You About Resistance? | A Resistance History Dispatch - YouTube”   https://youtu.be/K22OouNvVvM   “You don’t have to be for violence to want to understand how resistance actually worked. That’s the dishonesty at the center of this. The current framework treats any attempt to examine the full ecology of resistance — including direct action, confrontation, economic disruption, armed self-defense, and the credible threat of loss for the people in power — as though it were an endorsement of violence. It isn’t. It’s an insistence on honesty about a subject that the people most affected by authoritarianism cannot afford to have distorted.   The Civil Rights Movement was not a nonviolent movement. It was an ecology in which nonviolent mass action, armed self-defense, legal strategy, radical economic demands, and direct confrontation all operated simultaneously. The Deacons for Defense made nonviolent organizing survivable in places where unarmed workers would have been killed. CORE and SNCC knew this. King knew this — his home was an arsenal before he was talked out of keeping guns. The threat of confrontation and the reality of armed self-defense changed the calculus for the Klan, for local law enforcement, and for the federal government in ways that made the nonviolent campaigns possible. Stripping that out and calling what remains “the movement” isn’t just bad history. It’s a decision about what people today are allowed to consider when they’re deciding how to act.   The same thing is happening with the data.”   The video continues to discuss the updated data on Erica Chenoweth’s site. As I watched this, I also recalled Gandhi’s view that the task of a nonviolent noncooperator was to continue to provoke until there was a reaction.

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. 2,596 - Social media and damage [Content warning: mention of abuse, including of children (child soldiers), assaults, violence, war]

One of my long term projects, should I ever get to it, is about the scars that most, if not all, of us have, and the effects of that. 

This is probably most obvious with abused animals - for example, abused dogs may become extremely withdrawn or extremely aggressive. However, the effects are also obvious with human animals, and include: 

• neglect and abuse of children - which is banned in, I think, all nations ... at least to the extent that the scarred leaders/legislators of those nations are capable of understanding it - which is why activism, including education, is so essential, although the events around the Voice referendum in Australia (see posts over on my political blog) show some people are so scarred/brutalised that they are incapable of changing to be decent people in this incarnation;
• abuse and assault of adults, including slavery, bullying, workplace bullying, etc - again, to the extent that the scarred leaders/legislators of those nations are capable of understanding it - which, again, is why activism, including education, is so essential, although the events around the Voice referendum in Australia (see posts over on my political blog) show some people are so scarred/brutalised that they are incapable of changing to be decent people in this incarnation; 
• those subjected to violence - who may themselves have been warped by violence. I am thinking of some forms of military training (not all), including the brutalisation of child soldiers shown, for instance, in the movie “Blood Diamond”.
  

These more extreme forms of scarring aka brutalisation are decried by most people, with the exceptions themselves, in my experience, being such extreme victims of scarring/brutalisation they do not recognise that they are damaged - they have been brainwashed/emotionwashed by what they have been subjected to, and have form of Stockholm  Syndrome (see also here and here) directed towards violence/brutality itself. 

Less obvious is the scarring/brutalisation of the business world - which I have been writing about in my recovering from a corporate life series. 

As an examples of that, consider: 

• the extreme obsessive-compulsive addiction to “the company” shown in the late 20^th century in Japan, continuing to now and leading to an epidemic of problems including deaths, although with increasing pushback for a saner life; 
• a Project Manager I worked with who questioned everything along the lines of “how does that benefit my client?” - to the extent of effectively questioning OHS and other workplace laws against bullying/overwork/abuse/slavery, professional codes requiring CPD; and all climate crisis action!!!
  That extremely out of balance individual (who was an extreme minority - other were OK, some struggled with their craft, and some were actually very good and helpful) needed, IMO: 
• psychological assistance; 
• to be spoken to by their managers; and 
• if needed, legal action; 
• less extreme but still concerning, the focus on profit ahead of worker wellbeing - which may also reflect the elites in upper management being out of touch with, for instance, how younger workers lived, and the aggressiveness of admin sections of companies which assume bad faith on the part of those who have .
  

The response to the abuses committed by such scarred people must, first and foremost, be to stop them doing harm to others: 

• if scarred/brutalised people are committing physical violence, call the police and get the police to stop the aggressor - and charge them if warranted, then heal the victim, then and only then consider healing of the aggressor;
• if scarred/brutalised people are committing emotional/psychological abuse, the same sequence applies: contain and/or stop the harm, get the victim(s) safe and start healing them, and then and only then consider healing of the aggressor.
  

My experience is that this is actively being played out - played out well, not so well, and sometimes badly - on most forms of social media, and that can be wearing. Most wearing is the defensiveness of bigots and people who deny (and thus defend) structural bigotry and the continuation of the bigotry/structural bigotry, with things like “reply guys”, “pile ons”, etc, but the actions of trolls and the like is also wearing, and it can all turn what is supposed to be enjoyable into something that is dreaded.

And that is why I am taking another break from social media. 

At least that will allow me more time and energy for other pursuits in life ... such as healing from decades of abuse. 

PS - there is another aspect to all this as well: self care. After decades of being focused on others - including working so I could support family, especially for health and study needs - it is difficult to focus on self care. I was meant to give a short prayer at a Peace Festival today, but health problems stopped me going. I nearly forced myself to go, but that would have been (a) unsafe for me, and (b) tainted whatever I did with nonBPM energy.

Post No. 923 - Some More Thoughts including on Abraham Lincoln

Firstly, let me apologise for not having got a Psychic Weather Report up yet: life - particularly my necessary day job - has intruded again, but I hope to be able to attend to that later today.

The background to this post is that I recently re-watched the 2012 film "Lincoln", which I often find inspirational, and then did a little internet surfing, which led me to this article from "The Atlantic" (online) magazine (which I will have to start paying regular attention to), about Abraham Lincoln's lifelong struggle with depression, an issue which appears to meet modern definitions of clinical depression and thus would today be a liability, and the benefits he got from that situation, which the article sums up as "the tools to save the [US] nation".

I'm not going to too much into details, other than to note that the article talks about the creativity which sometimes comes from "melancholy": the article also refers to Lord Byron, who was also "melancholic" and creative - who I have a sense of connection with (despite learning about discipline by being in the British navy during the time Byron lived), and it reminded me of a poem I wrote in my 20s about melancholy and the creativity I got from that.

This all serves to reinforce my profound suspicion of the expectation that people will be happy and cheerful and lighthearted when they are "good", a bias which has led me to leave or not join some groups in the (distant) past, and to be wary of anything promoting happiness - except for Buddhism, which I know requires facing up to the darker aspects of oneself (including, for instance, fear of extinction).

Hmm. Food for thought.

And, on food, I'm aware of the controversy over the so-called "paleo" diet, including doubts about what we actually ate then. Another thought which has come to mind is that one of the profound influences on our wellbeing and health is the mixture of bacteria we have in our digestive system - and a rumour I once came across that the "healthy bacteria" additives came out of an attempt to open the Asian market to cow's milk by introducing the bacteria that Asians lacked but most Westerners had as a result of millennia of using cow's milk.

Thus, although our basic biology may not have changed much since the "paleo" times, our biology has changed significantly because of the changes in the microorganisms in our digestive system.

Anyway, more food for thought, which has got me thinking of breakfast, so I'll toddle off now :)

I apologise for publishing these posts twice, but Blogger keeps changing my formatting. I can either publish it and then correct it, or save and close the post and correct it when I reopen it, but that leaves an extra copy in my "drafts" folder ...

Love, light, hugs and blessings

Gnwmythr, Pagan Energy Worker, Wéofodthegn

I am revamping my former website, and getting at least one other underway (pronounced "new-MYTH-ear"; ... aka Bellatrix Lux … aka Morinehtar … would-be drýicgan or maga ... )

My "blogiography" (list of all posts and guide as to how to best use this site) is here, and my glossary/index is here. The reasons for my caution when using Wikipedia are here.

I started this blog to cover karmic regression-rescue (see here and here), and it grew ... See here for my group mind project, here and here for my "Pagans for Peace" project (and join me for a few minutes at some time between 8 and 11 PM on Sunday, wherever you are, to meditate-clear for peace), and here for my bindrune kit-bag. I also strongly recommend learning how to flame, ground and shield, do alternate nostril breathing, work with colour, and see also here and be flexible. 

May the best in me, my Higher Self,
and those of the Clear Light who assist me,
help me to keep myself grounded, centred and shielded,
to be Balanced and a Fulcrum of Balance,
a centre of Balanced Positivity and Spiritual Maturity,
with my aura continuously cleansed, cleared and closed,
repelling all negative or unwanted energies,
whilst allowing positive, balancing and healing energies in and through.

The real dividing line is not between Christianity and Islam, Sunni and Shia, East and West. It is between people who believe in coexistence, and those who don’t.

(pronounced "new-MYTH-ear"; ... aka Bellatrix Lux … aka Morinehtar … would-be drýicgan or maga ... )

My "blogiography" (list of all posts and guide as to how to best use this site) is here, and my glossary/index is here.

I started this blog to cover karmic regression-rescue (see here and here), and it grew ... See here for my group mind project, here and here for my "Pagans for Peace" project (and join me for a few minutes at some time between 8 and 11 PM on Sunday, wherever you are, to meditate-clear for peace), and here for my bindrune kit-bag. I also strongly recommend learning how to flame, ground and shield, do alternate nostril breathing, work with colour, and see also here and be flexible.

I am a Walker upon the Path of Balanced Positivity, seeking Spiritual Maturity.

• neither eloquence nor inarticulateness inherently indicates correctness, but, as words can kill, the right to freedom of speech comes with a DUTY to be as well-informed, objective and balanced as you can be.
• Gnwmythr's Stropping Strap: Occam's Razor only works if  the simplest solution is actually recognised as being the simplest, rather than the one that best fits one's bigotries being labelled 'simplest'.
• I mourn the desecration of the term 'Light Worker' by commercial interests, and the warping of the word 'Light' away from 'Clear Light' by the "(Fluffy) White Lighters".
• Presuming that everyone has, or wants, a smartphone is discriminatory, unspiritual, and downright stupid.
• Obsessive love may be a cover up of guilt.
• Our entire life experience, with all the many wondrous and varied people, places and events in it, is too small a sample for statistical reliability about Life.
• May the world of commerce and business be recognised to be a servant, not a master, of the lives of people.
• Being accustomed to interacting via certain rules makes those rules neither right nor universal.
• Like fire to the physical, emotions to the soul make a good servant, and a bad master.
• The means shape the end.
• My favourite action movie of all time is "Gandhi", although I've recently come across "Invictus" and might put that one in to that category. However, I loathe the stereotypical action movie - and, for similar reasons, I loathe many dramas, which are often emotionally violent, more so in some cases than many war films.
• All of the above - and this blog - could be wrong, or subject to context, perspective, or state of spiritual evolution ...

Human dignity is the inherently cumulative holistic combination of human rights, wellbeing and potential, and all actions or interaction which promote, realise or facilitate same. The converse also applies: whatever degrades, diminishes or robs humans of dignity, is inherently undignified.

The “purpose” of spiritual evolution is not the attainment of “spiritual perfection” - not in the sense of not having to evolve further, at any rate, since there is no such thing. We need to evolve in order to grow - but we can take rest breaks (hopefully well earned :) ) along the way. No, the “purpose” of evolution is, rather, to perfect our ability to learn, and thus grow.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Females, get over 'cute'. Get competent. Get trained. Get capable. Get over 'cute'. And those of you who are called Patty and Debby and Suzy, get over that. Because we use those names to infantalise females – we keep females in their 'little girl' state by the names we use for them. Get over it. If you want to be taken seriously, get serious.

Jane Elliott

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good [people] to do nothing.

We didn't inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we only borrowed it from our children

Antoine De Saint-Exupéry

There are risks and costs to a program of action. But they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction.
