Post No. 3,500 - Some (hopefully) interesting reading / viewing / listening - Saturday, 1st August, 2026

I recently found the following interestingoand/orouseful, and am posting them here inocase anyoneoelse does asowelll.  

 

• “Our Paranormal Afterlife : Finding Proof of Life After Death:   Living the Life Your Soul Intended”   https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/our-paranormal-afterlife-finding-proof-of-life-after-death/id1354455555?i=1000778172254   “This episode I'm talking to Ainslie MacLeod about his book The Instruction: Living the Life Your Soul Intended Ainslie specializes in exploring past lives to reveal your life’s purpose, and has been a featured guest on Oprah’s SuperSoul Conversations Series. He lives on a tranquil island in the Pacific Northwest. Everything you are—your personality, beliefs, aspirations, talents and fears—is the result of your soul’s many incarnations. To help you tap into this wealth of past-life experience and dramatically increase your potential for success in this lifetime, past-life psychic and author Ainslie MacLeod offers THE OLD SOUL'S GUIDEBOOK: Who You Are, Why You're Here, and How to Navigate Life on Earth. Building on his award-winning books THE INSTRUCTION and THE TRANSFORMATION, Ainslie delivers unique insights and exercises to help you: Understand why your destiny is so much more obvious than you think Identify past-life sources of present-life issues like low self-esteem, unexplained ailments, and irrational fears Escape the victimization trap through self-empowerment “Past lives explain everything,” shares Ainslie. “Without knowing where you’ve been, you can never truly know where you’re going. Understanding your soul’s journey is the key to living a happier and more fulfilling life.” Bio For over two decades, past-life psychic, spiritual teacher, and author Ainslie MacLeod has helped thousands of old souls discover their life purpose and overcome the fears and blocks keeping them from living it. But Ainslie wasn’t always psychic. A lifelong skeptic, everything changed the day he encountered his deceased uncle in a bookstore in Hawaii. That life-changing experience led him to connect with elevated spirit guides, who revealed his mission: to illuminate the life plan of others and guide them toward meaning and fulfillment.”     

• “BTS Livestream with Steve Neill and Guest Jeff Selver”   https://www.youtube.com/live/6eT96R1k2qs   This was interesting - I always like hearing others use terms like “Oversoul” and concepts such as parallels, but I have slightly different view on some of the time aspects discussed. This is well worth a listen and a think    

 

On neurodivergenceoand associatedomatters:    

• “Are The Days of The Autism Spectrum Numbered?”   https://youtu.be/9NvIFCKtQlU   “SciShow's recent video about a possible new way of categorising and even diagnosing autism caught a lot of autistic attention. Are they right? Are the days of the autism spectrum numbered? Or is there more to it?”   (Yes, there is - and see also https://kaywhitecoachingservices.blogspot.com/p/autism-seven-points.html )    

I’ve decided to throw a few smalll personaloobservations (and/or vents/rants) into these posts - the sort of passingocomment that doesn’towarrant a note onoSubstack, let alone a complete standalone post here. And my first such comment is:    

I have realised myoAuDHD made me being an accepted “traditional” / “normal” large scaleoleader impossible. I amogood at (and have done this) leading a small scale, and once - decades ago, before the most prolonged of the severeotrauma I have experienced - did so on a regionally significant scale, but I have struggled with life since. 

Now, I need help to, in particular, manage some of my AuDHDoweaknesses (counsellingohas got the traumaounder reasonable - not perfect - control ... enough for me to get by, if not thrive), and there is none to be found ... 

And there are many others who have been robbed of their potential - more so than me, in many cases - by our aggressively over-commercialised, hierarchical, cultified work patterns.     

 

On society, governance, humanorights, etc:    

• “Archaeologists Keep Finding Women Where Men Were Supposed To Be”   https://thenoosphere.substack.com/p/archaeologists-keep-finding-women   “Even when historical records already suggested they’d be there”   

• “I am once again asking y’all to please stop using the term “white supremacy.””   https://cherisemorris.substack.com/p/i-am-once-again-asking-yall-to-please   “I’m sure we’ve all heard that naming a thing is power.”   An EXCELLENT and VERY IMPORTANT spiritual perspective - and the author’s term “white racial hierarchy” is more accurate, although I may use “white racist hierarchy”, which feels like it has more impact   

• “Closing the Gap is failing, yet again. Is it time we do away with it altogether?”   https://theconversation.com/closing-the-gap-is-failing-yet-again-is-it-time-we-do-away-with-it-altogether-285354   Yes, in a word - particularly given the under-resourcingoof Aboriginaloorganisations and otheroracistoactions. Read the article for why   

• “Beyond M23: Addressing the Underlying Drivers of the DRC Conflict”   https://africacenter.org/spotlight/drc-congo-conflict-drivers-beyond-m23/   “Stabilising eastern DRC will not ultimately be achieved on the battlefield, but by rebuilding intra-Congolese and African processes to address issues of citizenship, security sector reform, and greater transparency of the mineral sector.”   

• “Australians value batteries and EVs, but renewables industry must earn trust of regions, summit told”   https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/jul/30/australians-value-batteries-and-evs-but-renewables-industry-must-earn-trust-of-regions-summit-told   “Clean Energy Council calls for a national, legislated scheme to funnel benefits of hosting renewables projects back to local councils”

Post No. 3,435 - Some (hopefully) interesting reading / viewing / listening

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

 

• “How we lost the living Now”   by JA Westenberg   https://www.joanwestenberg.com/how-we-lost-the-living-now/   “Before 1840, noon in Bristol happened about ten minutes after noon in London, and nobody much cared. The railway needed a common minute or it couldn't run - and that common minute is now a common nanosecond, shipped in real time.”   

• “The Longest Con”   https://mazetometanoia.substack.com/p/you-will-never-be-able-to-prove-it   “The demand for proof isn't epistemology. It's a loyalty oath.”   

 

 

• “If This Is “Neurotypical” Then You Can KEEP IT!”   https://youtu.be/ZxBU_rn7Wg0   “Under the right conditions autistic people can taste little nuggets of the neurotypical experience we don't normally have any clue about, but what does it feel like? I  went through exactly that earlier this week and I didn't like it!”   

 

• “The global system has failed. What do we need to do next?”   https://youtu.be/Qy2LhaJoJ6s   “In this video, I argue that the conflict driven by Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing the global economy towards a crisis on the scale of World War II. Not in terms of deaths, but in terms of systemic economic breakdown.   This is not a short-term shock. It is a structural rupture.   The warnings are already being issued. The International Monetary Fund, alongside firms such as Deloitte and EY, are signalling rising recession risk, including in the UK. But the impact will be global.   Supply chains are being disrupted across energy, raw materials and manufacturing. These are not marginal effects. They go to the core of how the modern economy works. Even if the conflict ended tomorrow, the consequences would last for years.   That means hardship. It means poverty. It may mean famine in the most exposed regions, and a refugee crisis on a scale we have not recently seen. In the UK and elsewhere, recession is increasingly likely, and if mishandled, it could become depression.   So what is required?   First, honesty about scarcity. Rationing may be necessary to ensure fair access to essential goods.   Second, protection. Stronger social security will be needed to support those most exposed to the shock.   Third, redistribution. Progressive taxation will be required to sustain that support.   And beyond that, something bigger: reform. The institutions created after World War II — from the World Bank to the World Trade Organization and NATO — were built for a different world. They are failing now.   The deeper issue is this: neoliberalism built a fragile, carbon-dependent global system. That system is now breaking.   If it has failed, what replaces it?”   

• “NDIS falls victim to familiar scare tactics – while untouchables roll on”   https://www.thenewdaily.com.au/life/health/2026/04/22/ndis-cuts-labor-government   by Amy Remeikis   

• “Remember Dan Price...that CEO who took a pay cut so he could pay all his employees a minimum annual wage of $70,000? Here’s what happened next”   https://substack.com/@corporateclapback/note/c-244824327   It was all good news - but I didn’t remember that person   

• “We have to stop teaching people that helping professions are just about being kind to individuals.   ...   “The helping profession isn't just about supporting individuals but changing systems.””   https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7450120345992392704/   

• “Anti-Protest Laws Struck Down - Jarrett v NSW”   https://youtu.be/7dNiFyeV6Vk   by Anne Twomey   “This video is about the New South Wales anti-protest laws that were struck down by the NSW Court of Appeal in the case of Jarrett v New South Wales [2026] NSWCA 62.   The video explains the Court's reasoning.  In particular, it focuses on the Court's view that dissent is part and parcel of a democracy and that suppressing political speech, for the purpose of protecting people from exposure to political expression that they might find to be upsetting, inflammatory or divisive, is not a legitimate purpose.   It concludes by observing the importance of tolerance as a civic virtue and an essential element of a representative democracy.”   

• “Long hours, stress and harassment are causing hundreds of thousands of early deaths, says UN labour agency”   https://news.un.org/en/story/2026/04/1167356   “The way that jobs are designed, organised and managed has a major effect on the health and safety of workers, and, according to the study – “The psychosocial working environment: Global developments and pathways for action” – the impact is growing, manifesting itself in rising rates of cardiovascular disease and mental disorders, including suicide”  

• “Australians are being played by Rinehart and Hanson, and the media is helping – Amy Remeikis”   https://www.deepcutnews.com/p/legacy-medias-refusal-to-scrutinise   “Legacy media's refusal to scrutinise One Nation is going to hurt the country”   

 

My article(s) on SubStack: 

• “Justice After Hell: A Few Thoughts”   https://musingsofgnwmythr.substack.com/p/justice-after-hell-a-few-thoughts   “Ruminations by an Aussie who is NOT a legal expert”   Eventually, all tyrants fall, but merely removing a leader does not dismantle existing power structures. As such, when the current ruling class in the USA loses power, justice as well as political changes will need to be considered. Unlike the military Nuremberg trials, the USA is unlikely to face foreign-imposed trials or reparations. The Frankfurt Auschwitz trials (1963-1968) serve as a pertinent historical example for potential US trials, as they were conducted under existing German laws at the time of offences. No new legal frameworks are expected to be in place for similar trials in the USA. Current state trials have begun, avoiding issues related to federal executive clemency but requiring extensive efforts to ensure comprehensive justice across the country.. Current state trials avoid Federal Executive clemency issues, though they require considerable effort to ensure justice across the country and must avoid missteps that could undermine their success. These trials will need to address serious crimes beyond murder, focusing on large-scale injustices such as deaths resulting from mass deportations. The ultimate goal is to recover stolen resources for reparations and rebuilding efforts, necessitating courage and commitment to justice. There is also concern whether ICE's practices have been adequately addressed through legal frameworks, and whether the USA has an adequate number and capacity of legal officers to pursue these cases effectively.
