karma (interim - and do not use to victim blame or for spiritual bypassing!!! It is for YOU to look at YOURSELF ONLY)

PPS - I am finding more and more Westerners using karma as an excuse to victim blame others, or indulge in spiritual bypassing. It is neither: it is a tool for YOU to use to take responsibility for what YOU have done. Anyone who claims otherwise is either amathiac, lying, or incompetent.

As an interim 'definition', please refer to the following posts http://gnwmythr.blogspot.com.au/search/label/karma, particularly:

PS - There is some bad information and misconceptions around the topic of karma, incidentally. For instance, this article portrays the "solution" to karma as self acceptance and spiritual love for all, and claims that karma only exists in the physical world.

That is wrong: karma, the Principle of Cause and Effect, or whatever other term you want to use for it, applies in al levels of existence - and applies just as equally to "good" things as to "bad".

It is also a cop out from dealing with our past mistakes - wishful thinking, in a sense, hoping that it will all just go away, rather than BEING AN ADULT, and accepting (spiritual)responsibility for the consequences of our past actions on other people and making genuine and credible efforts to help heal them of what we have done. This weakness of character (cop out / wishful thinking) is effectively a limit on our manifestation of spiritual love - and THAT is probably the worst part of this rubbish article (and others like it).

I don't deny that it is difficult to do all this - I been driven to the limit (and am there right now in some aspects of life) by karmic AND OTHER spiritual lessons / challenges. However, we have other strengths we can call on, and, in the context of karma, one of greatest is our Higher Self.

The Higher Self is also one of the biggest weaknesses of the article I referenced at the start of this note: it is not us but our "better self" that decides when we have learned a karmic lesson.

checking

One of the aspects of psychic work that I consider an absolute, utter BASIC, is that of checking (along with grounding, shielding, flaming, etc). This crops up at such basic levels as . . . checking that you are actually protected when you ask for it . . . checking that you are actually communicating with BPM Guides ... and making sure you are finished.

Making sure one has finished, you ask? (Well, I hope you do - I’ll run with it anyway.) Yes, finished.

A fairly common example of this in my life is when I am checking with my BPM Guides (after checking that they are who they claim to be!) in a protected environment (which I have checked) whether or not I have finished giving someone the healing they are meant to have.

It also crops up in the context of doing things like charging (consecrating) a tetrahedron [1] or doing some clearing exercises or work.

My preference is to do such work with someone independently checking that I have actually done all that I should.

It is fairly easy to do. I ask someone, usually my exercise / work partner, to ask their BPM Guides for an impression of a milk bottle (a glass bottle, for you young ‘uns who don’t know what that is), and to be given an impression of how much of the work to be done has actually been done by showing how full the bottle is :

· if it is half full, I have done half the work;

· if it is three-quarters full, I have done three-quarters of the work;

· if we all agree it is full, then - and only then - we have finished.

This is a technique I learned when learning to do rescue of uncooperatives [2] . If you’re doing that sort of work, it is extremely unwise to allow an entity to outlast (“defeat”) you, as that risks sending out a signal that if an entity shows strength “X” or persistence “Y”, you can be beaten.

Hence, we had some extraordinarily long nights, but we did our work.

These days, I tend to check before I start how much pre-weakening and other measures I can do to shorten the time (I have family and other commitments). “Hey BPM Guide, if I do 4 hours of clearing on Target Z tomorrow, how much will the 2 hours and 30 minutes required the day after to actually rescue Target Z be reduced by? ... 2 hours and 5 minutes? Great!”

Sound militaristic? It is, and it may need to be, when you’re working on dangerous and strong entities who are actively seeking to psychically enslave and torment others. (Although there have been some extraordinarily powerful examples of what can be done with agape - and ALL clearing MUST inherently be done with love [BPM nonphysical energy].)

You, Dear Reader, don’t have to do anything so demanding to get value from checking, however, so, please do actually CHECK to make sure things are actually happening as you wish and/or expect.

There is one other aspect to consider here : yes/no questions. An example from a rune reading was whether or not I should pass on one particular aspect of an interpretation which could be upsetting for my client (I don’t just pass on everything I receive without question : I feel perfectly free to challenge my BPM Guides to clarify / explain things further). So, I asked my client and, in the end, two other people, to get from their BPM Guides (I set up the protection for them) an impression of either a purple giraffe or a blue pumpkin : one symbol meant yes, I should pass that aspect of the interpretation on, the other meant I shouldn’t. By avoiding “yes” or “no”, I avoid the bias that many people have towards “yes” (particularly if people are interested in spirituality, they often have a tendency to want to be “nice”, and that often biases them towards saying “yes” [I also avoid using green and red for people in developed countries, as traffic lights have green for go and red for stop, and the same sort of bias can come through]). Naturally, I didn’t tell any of these people what the question was until they had answered, and I also specified for the two other people, who were in one room together, that, when they had an answer, they stated that they had an answer, but they didn’t say what it was until both had received an answer - which prevents those who get answers faster from influencing those who are slower psychically, possibly owing to less experience or lower confidence (if I want to take an extra measure against influence, I may get them to write their answer down, but I could trust these two enough not to have to do that).

There are some possibly useful flow charts on this at my regression-rescue manual site : see the asking yes/no questions and making decisions charts towards the end of the post at http://regression-rescue.blogspot.com.au/2010/12/general-flow-charts-discussion.html.

Wheel of the Year (interim)

In essence, this is the Pagan calendar, which is based - in the Northern European (or perhaps British/Celtic/Gaulish?) tradition on 8 major festivals, or Sabbats, which mark the progress of the agricultural year.

Pending preparation of a proper definition, I'll post the following chart, which I made as part of my early studies of Wicca. This is, of course, based on the Southern Hemisphere seasons: if you are in the Northern Hemisphere, you will have to shift everything six months.

There is also discussion as to whether or not this should be adapted to the seasons of other lands. Personally, I think that makes sense, and that is behind my attempts to develop a set of rituals based on the seasons identified by the local Kulin people, which is a gatherer-hunter (I use the reversed wording to acknowledge that it was possibly the gathering that was more significant) calendar. My introduction to those rituals in my summary of rituals post is:

NOTE: these are NOT indigenous rituals - I am not indigenous, and have had no training on rituals of the Kulin or any other indigenous peoples - and I know, from my brother, who has worked with indigenous people in NSW most of his life, and one of my sisters, who was married to an indigenous bloke in WA, that there are rich and effective indigenous rituals - but I do NOT know the details, OK? :) . This is my attempt at an adaptation of Wiccan rituals to Australia - specifically, that part around Melbourne which is the Kulin people's lands, based on what little I know of about their system of seasons. If you want to know more about indigenous rituals, find an indigenous person and PROVE yourself worthy of their trust and HOPE you may be then also found worthy of being allowed to know a little - and do not patronise, nor presume you have any right to such knowledge, along the way.

(psychic) protection (interim)

Pending a proper definition, you can get my thoughts on this by perusing the articles at the following links: http://gnwmythr.blogspot.com.au/search/label/protection

Also, I've recorded audios of some of the protective prayers I use here.

PS - the protection is also two way: as I state here (in another postscript): "I often use protection to filter out disharmonious/discordant as well as nonBPM energies; that goes both ways - I filter whatever I send out - with the aid of my BPM Guides - to ensure I remove anything created by unconscious bias, shadow work yet to be done, etc." I then state that the techniques I write about in that article are useful for that purpose.
