Post No. 2,434 - Reading and other links [Note: Content Warning for news links - reader discretion is advised]

I’m going to begin this with a reminder that the work of this blog is:

• clearing nonBPM nonphysical  units (in a sense, doing the shadow work of the world - see also here), including doing spirit rescues,

and

• BPM  strengthening of BPM units - some nonphysical, some incarnated people . . . and one of, if not the, best ways that is done is strengthening people's connection with their own Higher Self (which is possibly not what they interpret as their conscience).
  

Also:

Black Lives Matter! Be Anti-Racist, Anti-Sexist, and Actively Inclusive in ALL Areas.
The Climate Crisis is real, urgent and existential!
The Pandemic is Real, and Vaccinations save lives. Stay safe - wash your hands, wear a face mask in public if prudent to do so, and follow informed medical advice.

We also need to be more human being rather than human doing. 

Having made those points, here are some links that you, Dear Reader, may find of interest or value (articles by others unless stated otherwise):

• some excellent thoughts by T.  Thorne  Coyle on self worth; 
• using ritual in everyday life (Psyche/Aeon);  
  
• my thoughts on:   some links to other people’s work that I consider should be highlighted are here (indigenous trans people), here (ideological wars are harming women’s health), here (don’t use “emerging” elders as is culturally inappropriate), and here (education as a tool of activism has limits - especially nowadays);  
  
• from Medium this week:   “the way we talk about optimism and pessimism is unhealthy”;  
  
• from my favourite Druid  blogger:  
• this week’s “afterlife report” by the Zammits. 

In preparation for tomorrow’s psychic weather report, I do a weekly summary of news links - every one of which is an opportunity to do the work of this blog, which I outlined at the start of this post. Before I get in to that, a CONTENT WARNING - some of the news links are about upsetting, disturbing or triggering events & attitudes. Seek competent help - including professional - if you need it. Content shown in green (which may be only part of a news story) is about what is generally considered “good news”, but personal history may still make such events triggering. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised that linked articles may contains names and/or images of deceased people. Reader caution is recommended. For anyone distressed by anything in this post, or for any other reason considering seeking support, resources are available in Australia here, here, and here. In other nations, you will have to do an Internet search using terms such as “mental health support - <your nation>” (which, for instance, may lead to this, this, and this, in the USA, or this, this, and this, in France [biased towards English-language - my apologies]).  

The news post can be accessed at:

One part of the post covers natural and other disasters, which are always an excellent opportunity to do the work of this blog, so I will copy that section here: 

• on NATURAL and OTHER DISASTERS (noting Article 1(3) of the UN Charter) including COVID-19 AND OTHER PANDEMICS: 
•  “UN agency suspends food aid to Ethiopia’s Tigray amid theft” (AP);   one quarter of a billion people need emergency food aid (UN);   fungal diseases in crops (Nature);         “new temperature records, food security threats likely as El Niño looms” (UN),   a heatwave in Europe (F24);   trauma continues three years after massive bushfires in Australia (ABC);         a multi-vehicle accident in the USA (TND);  

Another part lists a few key points from the news, which are also an excellent opportunity to do the work of this blog, so I will also copy that section here: 

• the problems of the world are best summarised by the article described below as “research identifies christian nationalism as “proto-fascism”” - but some people are showing courage and intelligence by their resistance;

I generally do the PWRs on Sunday in Australia, with an aim to get it online by 8pm on the Australian east coast - which, in the southern winter, is midday in Geneva, 11am in London, 6am in New York, and 3am on the US west coast.

Post No. 2,433 - An Indication from the Global Consciousness Project of a need for help

Some time ago, I found a live 24-hour display of output from the Global Consciousness Project. The commentary on that site suggests that, if 4 - 6 hours are fairly consistently at the significantly high/low variance, then it is likely some event is underway that is affecting humanity's consciousness.

The current GCP output (the “dot”) that triggered this post is below.

These are critical moments, when a modest amount of effort can have an influence. Thus, I will be meditating to determine what energetic action I should be taking, and then doing the work of this blog (clearing nonBPM nonphysical  units and BPM  strengthening of BPM units ) wherever it is needed.

Post No. 2,432 - Link to old post

From a recent post of mine on Mastodon: 

For any Pagans out there, this is a ritual I wrote years ago attempting to combine southern hemisphere Samhain with a northern hemisphere Beltane (and I should have thought to post it a few days ago). I first learned about the the Wheel of the Year when I was living in the tropics (southern hemisphere), so my experience of seasons was:   

• hot, humid and unending blue sky with sun to our north,   
• hot, humid and unending blue sky with sun to our south,   
• hot, VERY humid and unending blue sky with sun to our south,  
•  week or two of monsoonal rain and floods (we had ducks visit the floodwater in our back yard - and small crabs one year that the water took a long time to drain),   and   
• hot, humid and unending blue sky with sun to our north. 

Indigenous seasons always made more sense. It also didn’t seem right to me that each hemisphere did its own thing with no acknowledgement of the other hemisphere, so I had a go at writing a series of rituals acknowledging both - I might try to rewrite these to something better (simpler, at least) when I retire, but I’d be just as happy for someone more talented to do that.

Post No. 2,431 - An Indication from the Global Consciousness Project of a need for help

Some time ago, I found a live 24-hour display of output from the Global Consciousness Project. The commentary on that site suggests that, if 4 - 6 hours are fairly consistently at the significantly high/low variance, then it is likely some event is underway that is affecting humanity's consciousness.

The current GCP output (the “dot”) that triggered this post is below.

These are critical moments, when a modest amount of effort can have an influence. Thus, although I picked this up later than I like, I will be meditating to determine what energetic action I should be taking, and then doing the work of this blog (clearing nonBPM nonphysical  units and BPM  strengthening of BPM units ) wherever it is needed.
