Post No. 763 – For Sunday evening’s meditation-clearing – Part 2

As promised, here is the summation and elemental information for Part 1.

For everyone’s convenience, I’ve shifted the reminders / explanations about Sunday’s meditation-clearing to this post. I have a simplified blogiography of posts related to this work here, a list of themes I have identified here, and my changing the personality of oppressors post, which I am contemplating expanding to include some key people to work on, is here. (Also, see here for some investigation into evidence of the effectiveness of this type of work, which shows variability [and mentions causes] and cycles in the energetic/consciousness response.) A range of information on emotions is here, and suggestions on how to work with emotions is here.

The purpose of posting these news links is not only to inform: it is also to stimulate a connection to nonBPLF units that need to be cleared and BPLF units that need to be strengthened. That only works if you don’t let yourself be overwhelmed by this, so take it in small chunks if you need to, but remember to actively clear and heal! … including yourself.

Also, in the same way that activists used to argue that “the personal is political”, the energies we use and manifest in our daily lives contribute to the larger soup of energies that influence world events. If you want to, for example, improve the communication of nations, improve yours. To help stop abuses of power, be always ethical in your conduct. Want peace? Then work in an informed, understanding, intelligent and nuanced way for peace in yourself and your life.

Finally, remember that many others are doing this type of work – for instance, the Lucis Trust's Triangles network (which has been running for many decades), the Correllian Tradition's 'Spiritual War for Peace' (begun in 2014, and the website was recently updated to include many more activities), the Hope, Peace, Love and Prosperity Spell (also from the Correllian Tradition, in around 2007 or 2008), the Healing Minute started by the late, great Harry Edwards (held at 10Am and 10PM local time each day, and one can pay to be officially registered. This also has been running for decades); and also see here and here, and even commercial organisations are getting involved (for instance, see here). No doubt there are many others.

Now, the themes – short, medium and long term - that come to mind for my work this week, after I review all this news, are (and no apologies if this repeats the themes of any previous weeks – in fact, given the size of this task, that is to be expected):

(a) based on my interpretation of information here and here with Saturn in Sagittarius contributing to finding an authentic balance (until 20^th December, 2017), Uranus in Aries contributing to fresh and possibly radical starts (until some date in the Year 2018), and Pluto in Capricorn contributing to a transformation of power and business (and careers) (until some date in the Year 2024), conditions are ripe for a change for the better in world politics;

(b) there is an enormous need to clear nonBPLF energy – the thought forms, unattached energy and scars of the collective unconscious created by millennia of violence. This need includes rescuing those who have been trapped by that history, and healing the warped views, seemingly “inherent” biases, and other damage done by the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual violence committed on scales large and small in that timeframe;

(c) viewing the overall emotional state of the world from an elemental point of view, region specific divinations and suggestions are shown below.

This shows a theme of the balance between the individual and the group, and between matters within an individual’s control, and not. There are dynamic balances on these matters, which is a long term matter: what is “best” varies with time, locale and circumstances. Thus, some places need to recognise the advantages of individual freedom, whereas others need to recognise the unity / interconnectedness of life, and that events they are dealing with close by actually have their causes – and solutions – further away.
From the news, overall, we have a need for the ethics, commitment and perception of Æther,

(d) there is a need to understand beyond what is obvious – understand that one’s words and jokes, innocent to oneself perhaps, can have a devastating impact on others, and to understand things like “unconscious bias”;

(e) all players in a situation need to be involved in considerations;

(f) financial aspects are still over-emphasised: such deliberations need to remember what the money represents;

(g) fear of change and addiction to power have such strong connections that it is easy, and perhaps at times useful, to see them as different faces of the same coin ….

[2] Please see here, here and my post "The Death of Wikipedia" for the reasons I now recommend caution when using Wikipedia. I'm also exploring use of h2g2, although that doesn't appear to be as extensive (h2g2 is intended - rather engagingly - to be the Earth edition of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy").

[3] I apologise for the formatting: it seems Blogger is no longer as WYSIWYG as it used to be, and there are a lot of unwanted changes to layout made upon publishing, so I often have to edit it immediately after publishing to get the format as close to what I want as possible.

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.

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.

Post No. 762 – For Sunday evening’s meditation-clearing (Part 1)

I will post the news links I’ve collected so far now, and will do the summation etc on – probably – Sunday.

News and other matters from this week include the following (opportunities/good news are shown in green; comments are shown in purple; WARNING: some of these links may contain triggers around issues such as violence, sexual assault, discrimination, etc).

permanent issue: may all actual and potential BPLF [1] Leaders be kept BPLF safe, including keeping them undetectable to the nonBPLF and keeping all their Significant Others inviolable against being used for indirect psychic attack, all as is for the Highest Spiritual Good;

with regard to democracy, freedom and governance: a critique of one of the stupid and dangerous comments by former Australian treasurer Joe Hockey, which shows some of the deceptions and misleading simplifications that some people may use; the UN Secretary-General has strongly condemned reported violence, which has resulted in an unconfirmed number of deaths and injuries, against civilians in Burkina Faso. He is following closely the ongoing regional mediation efforts towards the resolution of the crisis. Later in the week, demonstrators took to the streets of Burkina Faso's capital to protest a proposed compromise solution which they consider too lenient; the leader of the coup in Burkina Faso has claimed he will hand over power to a transition government; tourists have been kidnapped in the Philippines; an explanation of how the Westminster system works in Australia;

with regard to Da’esh and violent extremism generally: the UN Secretary-General deplores the multiple bomb attacks at a mosque and nearby areas in Maiduguri, capital of Borno State in Nigeria, by suspected Boko Haram elements that reportedly led to the killing of at least 50 civilians and injured scores of others; a few dozen former fighters have left Da’esh as they were “disaffected by the killing of fellow Sunni Muslims, including innocent civilians, and the group's failure to confront the government of President Bashar Al-Assad”; a car bomb has killed six people in Somalia;

with regard to refugees: a rebuttal of comments by the Hungarian Prime Minister regarding refugees; a call for Human Rights Council member countries to help victims of human rights violations fleeing persecution in North Korea; a call for the Tajik government to either release or charge the opposition activists it has detained; in a statement, the UN Secretary-General says that he is extremely concerned about the deteriorating situation facing refugees arriving across Europe, and called on all European States to ensure that they abide by their international obligations, including the right to seek asylum, and the prohibition of refoulement; at the end of his first official visit to Jordan, the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator, Stephen O’Brien, said that a disproportionate burden of the response to the humanitarian crisis in Syria has fallen on the neighbouring countries, including Jordan. Syria’s neighbours are reaching the point where the rest of the world urgently must share more of the responsibility in responding to the humanitarian needs caused by the crisis; a report that Macedonian police are abusing refugees; allegations that US Border Patrol officers are not following the procedures designed to prevent refoulement; the UN Secretary General has met the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the State of Eritrea, Osman Mohammed Saleh, and discussed refugees; the UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, has met with the facilitators appointed by the Secretary-General to head the intra-Syrian thematic working groups; the European Union has agreed on a refugee resettlement programme; Australia’s new Prime Minister has hinted at changes to our deplorable current approach, but I suspect he has to take others in the party along the road to decency;

with regard to human rights and discrimination: an excellent reflection on social attitudes and responsibility; ongoing racism persists amongst the AFL’s supporters – see also here; complaints against a stalker being published on twitter led to police in the Indian state taking action after nine months; despite the achievements of the last few decades in particular, there is still discrimination against women, and a major problem of internalised stereotypes;

with regard to crime, judicial matters and policing: Australia has used what I consider to be secret detention on an island – until a judge ordered the suspect to be returned; misconduct by (stupid) jurors is costing millions; errors in training, planning and execution led to the death of a police officer in NSW 5 years ago; complaints against a stalker being published on twitter led to police in the Indian state taking action after nine months; police in Arizona, USA have arrested a suspect responsible for at least 4 over the 11 freeway shootings, which was marked by a relatively calm response by the public; a report that Macedonian police are abusing refugees; thousands of prisoners have been evacuated from Pollsmoor prison in South Africa after a prisoner died as a result of a rat infestation; the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has launched a social media campaign in support of removing the death penalty. The campaign, #EndExecutions, comes on the back of an ongoing advocacy on this issue;

with regard to media and freedom of expression: a call for US tech firms, which have led the fight for online freedom in the USA, to stop enabling censorship in China, which may use sophisticated censorship for its leader’s visit to the USA to help cover up his increasing abuses; Turkmen authorities are unlawfully preventing a 14-year-old girl and her aunt from leaving the country to join her parents abroad, as a “guarantee” of their return (i.e., as a hostage); an explanation of “objectivity” as it applies to and is used by journalists; an editorial that freedom of speech in India is a “wobbly concept”;

with regard to the conflict in Afghanistan (noting that Afghanistan was once a peaceful and modern society, even allowing women in miniskirts, before the Russian invasion – see here):

with regard to China: a call for US tech firms, which have led the fight for online freedom in the USA, to stop enabling censorship in China, which may use sophisticated censorship for its leader’s visit to the USA to help cover up his increasing abuses;

with regard to the conflict in Iraq (noting that Iraq was once a peaceful and prosperous society, before the USA / CIA backed revolution – see here): militia abuses are marring the fight against Da’esh; the World Health Organization (WHO) has said that in Iraq over the weekend the number of cholera cases are expected to increase in coming days and that Iraq’s health authorities are working with WHO and other health partners to manage this situation; car bombs have killed 13 people in the Shia areas of Baghdad;

with regard to the Libyan civil war: a suggestion that focusing on the fight against Da’esh could unify Libya;

with regard to Russia: an assessment of the likely limits and outcomes of Russia’s moves in Syria – including a caution to Assad based on Russia’s similar moves a few decades ago in Afghanistan … ; Russia has started drone surveillance in Syria;

with regard to Sudan and South Sudan: the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has said that thirty-four children under 5 years of age died from malnutrition in the civil protection site in South Sudan’s Bentiu, Unity State, in the first week of September; a report accuses a government force in Sudan of going on atrocity rampages;

with regard to the conflict in Syria: 75 US-trained rebels have entered Syria from Turkey – and were temporarily arrested by another group, with later reports they gave their weapons to al Nusra; the civil war in Syria has led to the first ever withdrawal of seeds from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault (created to preserve crop seeds against catastrophes such as nuclear war or disease), to replace seeds lost in Aleppo; at the end of his first official visit to Jordan, the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator, Stephen O’Brien, said that a disproportionate burden of the response to the humanitarian crisis in Syria has fallen on the neighbouring countries, including Jordan. Syria’s neighbours are reaching the point where the rest of the world urgently must share more of the responsibility in responding to the humanitarian needs caused by the crisis; an assessment of the likely limits and outcomes of Russia’s moves in Syria – including a caution to Assad based on Russia’s similar moves a few decades ago in Afghanistan … ; partition may be the only way to peace; the UN Secretary General has expressed his concern at the continuing allegations of the use of chemical as weapons in the Syrian Arab Republic and reiterated his condemnation of any use of chemical weapons; Russia has started drone surveillance in Syria;

with regard to Turkey: a description of the very concerning violence in Cizre, Turkey, with scenes that remind me if Syria – does Mr Erdogan want to be the Turkish version of Mr Assad?; an assessment that the PKK will lose the current hostilities, for which they are described as having culpability;

with regard to the conflict in eastern Ukraine: foreign born fighters have been joining the rebels (the article shows some very strange perceptions of reality, and some disturbing claims);

with regard to the war in Yemen: the Houthis have released six foreign hostages; Leila Zerrougui, the Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, has called the situation in Yemen “beyond tragic”. She said that the scale of killing and maiming of children has increased dramatically in 2015 – 400 dead and 600 injured between 26^th March and August, more than triple the number of children killed and injured during the whole of 2014. the Secretary-General has expressed extreme concern over the escalating ground fighting and airstrikes that have caused further devastation to Yemen’s cities and an ever-growing number of civilian casualties in recent days; the USA has failed to object to use of cluster bombs in Yemen; an assessment of the causes of the war in Yemen (identified as predominantly Saudi paranoia over political changes), and the need to address the tribal nature of Yemeni society;

with regard to the natural and other catastrophes: bushfires in California, USA have destroyed over 1,000 homes; flooding has killed 16 people in Algeria, and 10 in Iran;

Also from the Daily Briefings of the United Nations (UN) (and other sources):

the 2015 Millennium Development Goal (MDG) Gap Task Force Report has been launched, which is the last such report, as Member States are moving towards adopting and implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Despite gains towards a number of targets, major gaps remain in reducing vulnerabilities for developing countries;

the Secretary-General welcomed the report of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights on promoting reconciliation, accountability and human rights in Sri Lanka;

From other sites (note that articles from these sites may have already been provided):

Human Rights Watch also has: a questioning of the world soccer body, FIFA, which has yet to sanction Iran for banning women from stadiums, is allowing abusive governments like Russia and Qatar to host future World Cups, and has long turned a blind eye to authoritarians committing gross human rights abuses, over its proposed harsh response for Hong Kong spectators objection to the Chinese but not the Hong Kong national anthem being played; Australia needs to do better in its own back yard before ascending to a seat on the Human Rights Council; the appalling experiences of Japanese who were lured to despotic North Korea by false promises; an activist has been beaten in Armenia; a call for Ethiopia to drop charges against activists and a translator; Thailand has become the first nation in South East Asia to offer some protection to trans people (I find that very surprising, given the existence of the junta);
