Black Lives Matter!
The Climate Crisis is real, urgent and existential!
Stay safe - wash your hands, practice social distancing and wear a face mask in public, and follow informed
medical advice - and be considerate towards
those at risk or in situations of vulnerability (including economic).
I have been writing about improving the
world through a range of means on my blogs: this blog has been focused
on spiritual and psychic means, including strengthening BPM units and clearing
nonBPM units, and meditation to generate BPM energy (and units, if you know
enough). This has been done before - particularly during times of crisis. (See
also this
excellent analysis on the topic.)
World War II was probably the biggest
global crisis before our current situation, and during those terrible events,
there were a number of people undertaking magickal work, including Dion Fortune - as outlined
in the Gareth Knight edited book “The Magical Battle of Britain” (my copy pub. Skylight Press, 2012, ISBN
978-1-908011-45-9), which I reviewed here. Ms Fortune directed her team through a series of 136
weekly and 19 monthly meditations; at the end of this, she was exhausted and
that work is considered to have contributed to her death, but a change for the
better had been accomplished.
Coming back to the present, the climate
crisis has been our
World War III for some time, and we also have the COVID-19 pandemic,
caused by the zoonotic SARS-CoV-2 novel coronavirus (there are other novel
coronaviruses), on top of that.
Now, we already have a lot of people
doing a lot of work on making the world a better place (including before
the current crises - and I’ve found this group
working at following [and adapting] Ms Fortune’s techniques and purposes),
but I would like to extend my contribution to also include a series of weekly -
or near weekly - meditations along the line of those directed by Ms Fortune,
work which goes beyond my
initial response.
This post is this week’s contribution.
This Week: No. 61 - Preparing - planning tactics, strategy and grand strategy
Let’s consider someone who is working
out how to earn enough to survive after they leave their parents’ home. They
may decide on a career in a profession, which means they need to get a degree,
and then they may choose a particular job to pursue as a first stage in their
work-life.
In that example, the grand strategy
could be considered to be their choice of career, gaining a qualification was
their first strategic step, and getting that first job was a tactical step.
So one could consider: grand strategy the overall, largest scale
planning; strategy is the major
chapters of that strategy, and tactics address the key events within each
chapter.
Let’s choose another example
. . . one from the sporting arena . . . chess.
Your grand strategy may be to become
a grand master of chess, so the strategy may involve an initial plan for
developing basic skills (first tactic may be read a book, then watch videos,
then join a club), and subsequent strategies may be developed for
progressively developing your skill through competitions, tutors, etc.
As far as a military situation goes,
one could perhaps say that, in World War Two:
the allies’ grand strategy was to defeat Germany first, then Japan; the strategy against Germany was to aid the
fighting on the Eastern Front by opening a second front as soon as logistically
possible; and the military campaigns
were sub-strategies with lots of tactics in various battles.
If we consider changing the world to being
a more emotionally mature and spiritual place, the long term (grand)
strategy may be to change the attitudes of almost all people in the world towards
raising children away from greed and/or survival type “values” and towards more
BPM values around respect (no discrimination), being equitable (sharing),
and compassion for at least three generations (which is something that will possibly
take centuries of sustained and incremental work).
That may involve sets of strategies -
perhaps some focused on aiding the most progressive nations to change, others
on using those nations as examples, other strategies to address particular
aspects of life or problem groups / nations.
One strategy might be around teaching
people more effective ways to work psychically towards that goal
. . .
Along the way, there will be
sub-strategies and tactical considerations.
The psychic weather report posts I do
most weeks are a strategy for that week, suggesting a basis for cooperating and
working on healing
and strengthening
the BPM
and clearing
the nonBPM. Each of the meditations,
clearings and healings done to accomplish that are tactical exercises, with
steps broadly outlined in the notes at the end of this post.
There are some additional points I
wish to raise for those tactical activities, drawing on military learnings:
- there will be additional matters raised in
coming lessons around things like reserves, manoeuvring, concentration of
strength, etc which will aid your understanding and use of tactics - this
lesson is an introduction;
- for now, consider a possible exit strategy if
you are overwhelmed and need to retreat. This will need use of the previous
guidance on undetectability, and use of reserves to distract your opponents (for
instance, by starting to clear units
on other levels or in other places of the world that your opponents are drawing
on - which you will know about because of your prior scouting activities);
- how will you handle changes - such as your
opponents bringing up reserves to make themselves stronger faster than you
thought they would, or your people being exhausted faster than you thought they
would?
- how will you cope with the need for healing and
recovery of your people? It is one thing - a basic matter - to have healers to
address exhaustion, another to make sure everyone is protected, undetectable
and safe, and to detect issues such as change in attitudes / morale / emotions.
I have used a list of questions to
prompt my thinking on these matters for many years now for what I termed “spell
battles”. The following is from the blank template I use for those - feel free
to adapt or ignore, as you deem appropriate:

Summary
of key lessons:
Regular
ongoing situation reports / assessments:
This week’s sigil is tactics.
Exercise P - debriefing
Establish and check protection,
and then do your initial self-assessment.
Do your combined basic energy work
drill, which is, as a broad summary:
- Exercise A - self care (Week
No. 46);
- Exercise B - links (self work) (Week
No. 47);
Exercise C - links (partnered - whether physical or nonphysical) (Week
No. 48); - Exercise D - objects (self work) (Week
No. 49);
Exercise E - objects (partnered - whether physical or nonphysical) (Week
No. 50); - Exercise F - energies (self work) (Week
No. 51);
Exercise G - energies (partnered - whether physical or nonphysical) (Week
No. 52); - Exercise H - rescuing cooperatives (self work) (Week
No. 53);
Exercise I - rescuing cooperatives (partnered - whether physical or
nonphysical) (Week
No. 54); - Exercise J - rescuing uncooperatives (partnered
- whether physical or nonphysical) (Week
No. 55).
In addition to the skills directly
practised, the partnered exercises have practised your ability to work
constructively with others. Both sets of skills will now be
developed (and pay particular attention to the skills in the lessons on proficiency,
countering
adaptations, and evolution
[which included the “this course as a blog” links] ), but with a focus
towards working in larger groups, which in turn have a focus on changing the
world. These will be based on the Rangers of the Inner Plane,
which is no longer physically active (other than me), but is still
working on the nonphysical.
As a further development on the
issues outlined in the previous lesson, consider when a formal “debriefing”
could be valuable, and how it would be conducted.
Devise a plan for a trial, implement
the trial, and learn and adapt as necessary.
Do your final self-assessment and
restorative work, re-check yourself (get help if you need it), and then close
your chakras, centre yourself and close your aura, use the banishing version of
the LBRP to close circle, ground and release all excess energy; and make
sure you are grounded and closed down - implement your Psychic
Emergency Action Plan if necessary.

The Meditation (see here, here, and here) broadly consists of:
(1) use appropriate
and responsible techniques (see here, here, here), prayer and ritual (e.g., here) to establish and check protection (re-do the protection, or re-schedule the
meditation, if you don’t feel safe and secure);
(2) establish
a personal connection to your Higher BPM
influences;
(3) visualise
the sigil (see above) for this work. Think of what this work
means for you as you do so, then, when you feel you have fully tuned in to the
meaning of the sigil, see it as a portal or doorway (you could open it like
a door [close it behind you], simply pass through it, visualise yourself
shrinking and passing through the centre, or whatever else works best for you),
and travel through to to a place created by the visualisation of yourself and
others for this work. That place should have:
(a) a visualisation of the workplace you
personally prefer - something you can change, if you wish, as you yourself
change; and
(b) a shared visualisation of a device to astrally
share our knowledge, something developed in a previous project (still
active astrally): a visualisation of a large, green,
multifaceted emerald. Large: around half the size of the Moon; multifaceted
- billions, for all people who wish to be part of this at any time; green -
largely tied up with the previous project, but has connotations of nature and
growth. One of those facets is yours - choose whatever location and
shape you wish (and you may change that as you change [grow] over time),
but in the interest of humility and sharing, see it at around human - or human
aura - size;
(4) flush one’s aura with green (R0, G102,
B0), blue (R0, G0, B204) and
purple (R153 G0, B204);
(5) fill one’s
Heart Chakra (and maybe one’s Earth
Star, Solar Plexus, Third Eye and Crown Chakras) with green, blue
and purple; send a weave of three
streams of this colour from the Chakra(s) to the visualised gigantic, multi-faceted emerald through your
facet until you see your energy enlivening other areas of the emerald and can feel
similar energies flowing back to you;
(6) visualise
the rune / bindrune;
(7) generate feelings
of love, peace, joy and respect;
(8) strengthen
those feelings (energies);
(9) radiate
those energies to the world for nine to eighteen minutes;
(10) then, on
Sunday, also perform the additional meditation work for around 15 minutes or so:
contemplate the topic, and the spiritual (i.e., nonphysical)
implications of it, and seek insights and understanding. Do not be distracted
by thoughts of physical actions - those are necessary also, but this exercise
is about the nonphysical, in the broadest possible sense, and the focus should
be on nonphysical actions, energy flows, symbols, and the like, all with the
intention of bringing about a change for the better. As a second stage, if you
wish, you can meditate on any physical actions which may be necessary, but get
the spiritually focused work done first;
Also on Sunday, perform
the exercise(s) as set out in this post;
(11) when you
have finished your work:
(i) send the
thought of any knowledge you wish to store or share through your portal into
the group visualised emerald;
(ii) return
back through the sigil;
(iii) close your
chakras, centre and ground yourself and close your aura, use the banishing
version of the LBRP to open circle, ground and release all excess energy; and
make sure you are grounded and closed down – eat, if you need to, or seek help
from someone capable and trusted; and
(iv) make sure you are yourself again - free of any
lingering attachments or (misguided) ideas of being subservient,
respectful of yourself and your integrity as you should be of others.
