Nightmares

The current nightmares
of paper and authority and the stress of change ...
are triggering the old
of abuse and power and
societal "games" and "norms".

The world

The world has no place for me

A life at war

Forty years - a lifetime - a soldier
Forty years at war
- not physical,
this a war of psychic and psyche
a struggles for societies' souls. 

Forty years a hidden soldier
taking wounds,
too oft near death,
unseen fights
on unseen fields. 

We did not win
- but the fight goes on,
and we blocked
the spread of hate,
naysayed some horrors;
and now I leave
around two score
- forty more
warriors to complete this quest
warriors I have trained,
and now pass my mantle to,
as I retire
to battlefield hospital.

Connections

Connections
how do I find
the person I need right now? 

One day I am up
and a friend with humour will sustain ...
the next I may be down
and the friend with compassion
in cried upon shoulder
and listened to tongue
is what is sought;
and other days
I may not know what I need
- how then
to find, to know, to communicate
with that necessary human or caring touch?

War

War.

The danger; the horror,
the never leaving 
terror and devastation ...
the death
... some marked just by shadows.

And then there are
the living shadows
... broken threads and holes
- gaps of missingness
in the web of life ...

The joys of differing

Difference
- to differ
is not a crime.

I am no more evil
than left handers;
I am no more strange
than red heads
- or blue eyes or brown or green
- or tall or short.
I have the same rights
to life
and to thrive
as any other
- and have and will fight
tooth and nail
for that right. 

But ...
I have yet to recognise
to realise
the joys of MY differences;  
I am yet to celebrate
the benefits
of perspective
of strengths
of knowledge
that come
with each and every one
of my differences,
and that
- being robbed of my personal joy,
IS a crime.

An old practice/trial sketch

I had forgotten about this sketch. I did it some time ago when I was practising to get back in to the swing of sketching, and didn't think anything of it at the time, but now ... it's not too bad, a bit empty or thin, but I've decided it is OK to post.

The pecking order

Look at you - you contemptible nothing,
puffing your chest as if
your vain imaginings were real
outside your mind. 

You follow all the formulas
- hair just so,
- tie or shoulder pads just so
- suit colour just so,
ready to pass on
- nay, enforce!
the trite pomposities
- the superficial charades
- the gaslighting and duck shoving
- the lies and hypocrisies
of Society's Rules of
Normality and Governance. 

Nary a thought
for the carnage from
your beak
in your cage ...
Only for ... what next
- what will help YOU,
a Cage Hen amongst cage hens,
cluck and peck your way up
the factory's pecking order, 
as factory's owner looks and laughs ...

Some sketches

I did this first sketch ("Mists of Space and Time") in response to today's misty morning (and mucked it up with one stroke ... sigh - but worked out how to fix that)

 

The next two are a couple of older ones I did quickly for some old YouTube videos. 

The better one I call "Clouds of air, land, and water": 

 

And then there's "Night borders":

Rising to the Occasion ... rather than sinking to the same old same

There comes times when one must
rise to the occasion
rather than sink to the same old same ... 

The leader who
focused on their life's problems
found a cure - a new way,
spent a lifetime
wrestling through the grime
to power and influence
- only to be overtaken
by circumstances anew,
challenges unseen and
unanticipated,
and a choice:
would they set aside
- perhaps for good,
their life's goal and work
- their dreams,
and ...

rise to the occasion
rather than sink to the 
same old same ... 

 

With acknowledgement of:   FDR, who did this twice - the second, World War Two, being flawed, but world changing, whereas the first, his polio, changed him;   Abraham Lincoln, who did it once;   Gorbachev, who oversaw the end of the Cold War;    Zelensky - who also did this twice, with the Russian invasion and the earlier COVID pandemic;   and Jacinda Ardern, who led her nation through the pandemic (which impacted on her planned massive changes) and coping with a mass atrocity. There are a lot of other great leaders, but many of those never had to change their life path so fundamentally, or faced what they knew they had to. And then there are the countless unknown people who do this all the time ...

A Withdrawal - A Rangers of the Inner Plane Story

It had been a routine patrol for the platoon of Rangers - until a surge of anger came at them. 

This part of the astral had developed fairly static sense of direction (and of a surface), and the anger had come from ahead. 

Jen sent a few triangles ahead to scout the source of the anger, and find out if it was justified (for example, if they were unwittingly intruding on sacred space that hadn't been identified by the pre-mission scouts). A few others covered the rear, sides, and vertical dimensions. 

And then blind rage had come in from all directions - a frustrated rage that had no known reason, but was no less important or powerful for that. Three Rangers wound up too nauseated or struck by headaches to continue, so a few other Rangers took them back to their base in a suburban home, and added to the telepathic report Jen's XO, Graham, had sent.

After a few minutes, they had a defence organised, and were able to identify specific people behind and to the sides who were raging. More importantly, they could see what they needed, and the healers got to work. Eventually, the only attack was from ahead, but was so intense that they couldn't work out what was happening - and the healers had gone with those they were working with. 

And now, with reduced forces at hand, Jen remembered that most of the Rangers with her had real life commitments. 

It was time for a withdrawal - but that had to be done safely. 

She asked Graham to send out a call for help from any others in the vicinity with the capacity to take this on. 

In the meantime Hen to turned to those who present. 

She had one triangle weave pink and a flute melody from their Base and Earth Star chakras into a thick solid rope, and then laid it down in an arc just ahead of them.

From two other Rangers she used a rain of green from Solar Plexus chakras to grow roots from the rope into the ground, to hold it in place. 

Another Triangle of Rangers generated miniature shields of purple from all their chakras and a hearty soup from their Solar Plexus chakras. Jen stacked them into an overlapping pattern just ahead of her, and then used her contribution - a wind of calm confidence - to push them out into a shield between them and the attack ... 

... and the relentless pressure eased. 

Graham drew her attention to those coming - a Valkyrie and others they had worked with before, and a Being who sent sparkles of gold out around the attack, then sent a beam of light - pure clear brilliance - down into the "ground", where it jumped into another dimension, travelled a short distance, and then exploded as patience, persistence and love from within those ahead. 

It gave them pause, and Jen heard the psychic message: "Go - go now! We have this." 

And they did - go, and those who stayed did "have this" - enough for two recruits to join the Rangers later.

 

 

*** 

Energy does not need to be worked with using only visualisations of colour - and real life commitments must be respected - indeed, honoured - if this sort of work is to be sustainable - and fair. 

 

If you liked this story, you can find past Rangers of the Inner Plane stories at: 

Please note that these stories are being belted out to illustrate points/aspects of the sort of psychic work my main blog is about. If I had the time and energy, I would improve the storytelling and writing, but I have neither, unfortunately (despite being retired).

Pariahs of mind, heart and spirit

Immature of mind,
fear-bound of heart,
twisted of spirit …
Those who play
with others’ lives, loves, and beingness
by misuse of power,
  of rumour, of insinuation
to cover their inadequacies
- they, and their willing tools,
are showing the worst
of the immature.
Their petty, twisted, bullying souls
- vindictive, offended at change, unyielding
are pariahs of mind, heart and spirit.

To a demon of yore

What demons possessed ye
demon of yore
that you could twist the knife
and hurt me so?

You won
- or so it seem’d,
but I
in the long run
had the greater victory
of work and play, 
while you stayed shrivelled
and fearful inside.

The gated communities of one mind each

The world worships
the great lie
- that sameness
must be absolute
for all things good
- friendship, love,
belonging. 

The world's worshippers
of that great lie,
terrified of uniqueness,
of tiny eccentricities,
of their personal truths,
live a lie
- a fraud of heart and mind and soul
to create the
seemingness of sameness ...
in gated communities
flooded with terror - most absolute -
of variance;
each of those in turn filled
with gated communities
each of one timid, quaking, cowardly mind;
each dedicated to denying divergence.

My burden

Tho' blows may bear towards
those I love,
striving to drive
to a path of pain and loss,
I can bear the bludgeons instead,
and watch their lives
unfold to untold joys and hopes,
tho' I must bear the pain and loss. 

But there is no sappiness here:
just the glow of knowing I have spared
others a needless loss,
against which mine
is the lesser loss.

Focus

When I left work,
deemed by society
to be old enough
to afford the luxury of uselessness,
I thought my horizons
would broaden.
Rather,
people lowered their shields
removed their disguises
and, façadeless,
showed their true worth
and life became honed
on those and that
which was of worth.

Blogiography

This is what I term a "blogiography": a simple list of what I have posted. I've now decided to sub-divide the list into:
  • photographs; 
  • shorrt stories; 
  • miscellaneous including humour; and 
  • poems.

I've posted [CW] to indicate a Content Warning below where I consider it merited. As mentioned in the header of this blog, I tend to "write out" negative states in poems, which is part of a self-therapy, and then go on with life and dealing with issues, etc - but it does mean the poems can be about distressing or upsetting matters. My short stories are often commentaries on the flaws of society - as are some poems - so, again, they can be about distressing or upsetting matters.

In due course I will also get those included in the titles of those posts as I continue to update this blogiography (although, given that I am adding these to years of posts, I will not provide much detail).


Photographs and sketches
