I am not Christian,
as are most of the people on this planet. Hence, to use a date system based on
AD (Anno Domino – “in the year of someone
else’s Lord) or BC (before someone
else’s “Saviour” was born) is, at the very least, inappropriate, and in
actuality, offensive and an act of Christian proselytising. Hence, many people,
not just me, use the terms CE – Common Era – and BCE – Before Common Era - which is an official designation (see here).

[Content Warning - judgmentalism] carrying on like a pork chop
Ever cooked pork on a
barbecue? It snaps, crackles and sizzles – it makes a lot of noise and spits
fat out. Hence, when someone is observed making a lot of noise and maybe
metaphorically “spitting chips”, then
an Australian would say they are “carrying
on like a pork chop” (on a barbecue).
[Content Warning - psychological/emotional triggers] buttons
Just as it is
possible to push a physical button to cause a physical effect (e.g., to turn a machine on or, say, mute
the television during an advertisement), so too is it possible to have a
psychological button pushed to cause a particular psychological response.
If, for instance, you
are feeling guilty about (say) not
working overtime, it may be possible for your boss to casually make a remark
about the importance of dedication, in order to stimulate more guilt and so
enable you to be manipulated into an unfair or at least unreasonable situation.
Some children are masters of this: they know exactly what to do to annoy their
parents, or wear their parent’s discipline down.
Uncooperative
entities are also masters of this – but their aims are to get negative energy
generated. If they can cause an entity
to become upset or angry, they can use the energy created - and they have found
a way to improve their control over the entity directly affected, and others.
The best example of this that I can think of is causing people to become angry
or irate about a criminal: the discarnate earthbounds controlling that criminal
(and any others like that one) get
more negative energy from the anger and hate radiated towards their puppet,
which they can use to force another entity to perform the same acts – which
gives the controller more perverse fulfilment, and starts a new cycle. (Any time you find yourself getting strongly
emotional in a negative way, such as anger at some perceived wrong, you should
at the very least flame to reduce any negative influences in your aura, and
then ground and shield yourself.)
Buttons are a
weakness which should be addressed by personal growth work (especially work aimed at improving one’s assertiveness).
So-called ‘friends’
who keep pushing any such buttons should be treated with caution: are they genuinely friends, or are they
attempting to control you (possibly as a
result of being controlled themselves)?
BCE (Before Common Era)
I am not Christian,
as are most of the people on this planet. Hence, to use a date system based on
AD (Anno Domino – “in the year of someone
else’s Lord”) or BC (before someone else’s
“Saviour” was born) is, at the very least, inappropriate, and in actuality,
offensive and an act of Christian proselytising. Hence, many people - not just
me - use the terms CE – Common Era – and BCE – Before Common Era.
Balanced Positive
PS - see also “Shrine of Balanced Positivity” https://shrineofbalancedpositivity.blogspot.com/
In Stuart Holroyd’s
magnificent book "Briefing
for the Landing on Planet Earth" (pub.
Corgi, 1977; first pub. W.H. Allen, London; Copyright © Lab Nine,
Ltd, 1977; ISBN 0 552 10997 5; as the re-issued “The Nine:
Briefing From Deep Space”: Barnes & Noble, Amazon; original version, sometimes titled “Prelude to ...”: Scribd, Internet Archive, Google Books, Amazon) , he describes contact with a
group known as “The Nine” (who crop up in
a few other places as well). They have some interesting views on a range of
matters, one of which is that we should be aiming to be “balanced positive” –
i.e., not negative, but not “holier than thou” extremist (fanatical?) versions of spirituality.
My personal ‘code
word’ that I was taught (see here) to use for all those people who seek
to have, or to help others to have, ‘balanced positive spirituality’, is ‘Divine
Light Force’, abbreviated to DLF. It covers all references to ‘White (i.e., positive energy’)
Brotherhoods/Sisterhoods’ and hierarchies of all sorts.
To some extent, this
is predicated on the association between ‘higher frequency’, or more evolved,
energies and a perception of brightness, but it also is based on the concept of
Deity, as in ‘the Divine’.
I now use (one of) the phrase(s) ‘Balanced
Positive’, ‘Balanced Positive Light Forces’, ‘Balanced Positive Light Force’,
or ‘Balanced Positive Light’ which is
based on the teaching in Holroyd’s book, rather than DLF – and the appropriate
acronym (i.e., BPF, BPLF, or BPL,
typically).
For the opposite of
Balanced Positive, I use non-BPF or non-BPLF (or non-BPL), whereas I used to
use non-DLF.
Subsequent to writing the above definition, I have started developing this into a philosophical approach to living, which I am terming 'Balanced Positivity'.
As of the time this
definition was written, I’ve touched on this idea in posts here,
here,
here
and here.I've speculated here about the history of Balanced Positivity, that it goes back to the Pagan philosophers Plato and Aristotle. For other links that are relevant to this topic, see the "Balanced Positivity, Spiritual Maturity, Peace and Personal Conduct" sub-section of the "Key posts: a (slightly!) shorter listing ... " section of my Blogiography.

As I continue my current project to apply labels and update past projects, the posts the above link to will probably change. I will also, at some dim, distant, future date, probably revise this definition.
