Post No. 3,164 - The benefits of co-development of ideas, and Deities of Service and Tutelage rather than Matron/Non-Binary/Patron/Tutelary Deity

I am fairly sure I have written somewhere on this blog about the history of people coming up with the same or similar ideas at the same, or nearly the same, time - Darwin and Wallace are the most used example of that, I think. 

From a spiritual point of view, a lot of these ideas/concepts are coming from Spirit with a view to improve, as in help to evolve (especially spiritually), this world and the situation of Sentient Life on it. Multiple channels into this world helps to make it more certain the new idea/concept will actually get through, and will be adopted widely enough to become self perpetuating - or, at least, comprehensively tried in a wide range of situations. (Conversely, and perversely, patriarchy, capitalism, neoliberalism, and fascism insist there can be only one, which is amathiac, ego driven, counter-productive, and contrary to the actualities of real life.) 

The benefits of multiple channels is why I hope others are working at developing the ideas of this blog - or independently coming up with something similar.  

 

I have adopted the term Deities of Service and Tutelage rather than Matron/Non-Binary/Patron/Tutelary Deity as the new term is both more precise - especially about the fact of some of this being about service to a greater cause, rather than the spiritually immature and bypassing attitude of too many people (especially those who think perusing list of Deity attributes is like perusing a travel brochure or a menu) have that Deities are to serve us. 

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.

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. 3,034 - On planting and nurturing seeds

Something I have written about - particularly on my no longer actively used political blog (which received a major and sustained increase in views after I stopped posting😂 ) - are the changes that occurred in engineering, with it being a profession of materialistic, greed-driven, misogynistic, LGBTQIASB+ hating bigotry, to something that, while still afflicted with problems, is much better than it was.

And the thought that occurred to me this morning is that, back in the worst of the worst days of that profession, the people who would drag it, kickking and screaming, towards decency were already there, in engineering, gradually moving towards positions where they could have a significant influence - such as the profound change for the better one manager implemented at a company I used to work at (and I have to acknowledge those who subverted systems to ensure workers were treated with decency).

All those people needed was opportunity - and perhaps encouragement. 

That is one of the many reasons why cynicism is so harmful - it stops that encouragement those people who are the Seeds of Good Change might be needing to sprout, grow, and bloom fully into active and effective Agents of Change for Good. 

That is one of the many reasons why why holding back and not expressing opinions that situations need to change for the better, or not detailing such changes, is so harmful - it stops that encouragement those people who are the Seeds of Good Change might be needing to sprout, grow, and bloom fully into active and effective Agents of Change for Good. (And I am thinking of several situations while I was at schoool were I chose to speak out - calmly, struggling to find the words, but I spoke out.)

That is one of the many reasons why failing to engage with people who can effect change (especially politicians, but also people like CEOs) is so harmful - it stops that encouragement those people who are the Seeds of Good Change might be needing to sprout, grow, and bloom fully into active and effective Agents of Change for Good.

Think about what you are casting about and behind you. 

Are people going to be inspired to try to make the world a better place, or are they going to shrivel into a husk of despair? 

It is your choice.

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.

Tom Fletcher, Former UK Ambassador to Lebanon
