“Knock, And He’ll open the door
Vanish, And He’ll make you shine like the sun
Fall, And He’ll raise you to the heavens
Become nothing, And He’ll turn you into everything.”
― Rumi
Activism and its spiritual gift
Direct action whether it be ecological, animal or human rights can offer a tremendous energetic insight when approached from a heart based modality. Even though many activists face brutality, financial ruin, loss of liberty and other status quo tyrannies, there is a spiritual opportunity on offer.
In the late seventies and early eighties, Hampshire police on behalf of their masonic whiners [the masters of the beagles and foxhounds] assigned a hunt squad of six motorbikes, two police cars, a sergeant, chief inspector and a black prison van to follow our every move[eight hunt sabs] twice a week from September to March, and arrested us if we blew a hunting horn, sprayed anti-mate or even hollered to call hounds.
The diverting of tax payers money to protect ‘a depraved indulgence’ was in force for five years until the newspapers got hold of it, and the police troops protecting the ‘slaughter of animals for fun’ were reduced by public outrage.
During that time, we were for all intents and purposes corralled spectators, and often thrown in the prison van until the day’s carnage was over. But with a strong heart and a ready will…we found another way to protect the creatures of the field. Praying…sounds old fashioned doesn’t it!… and in the doing, became aware that we were not ‘spiritually alone’ out there on the hunting field.
Psychic sabotage
George Trevelyan had a huge impact on my understanding of man’s relationship to the animal kingdom. He viewed all life as part of himself, and introduced me to the concept of That Art Thou.
The principle of That Art Thou is one of the most profound keys in the practice of energetic modulation or psychic sabotage. Because we are everything that exists, we can, when self is put away and the voice of the I silenced, contact higher fields of consciousness in the elemental realm, and influence the ‘playing field’ of ‘us versus them’ in a way that for most people is unimaginable.
The body as a living whole
George taught that we are the planet and all its creatures, that our salt tears are the great oceans; our bones and flesh are the rocks and grasslands; the warmth of our bodies reflects the greater sun; and the air in our lungs, the mighty winds that blow from each direction: For That art Thou.
When the chattering mind is still we are everything that exists…there is no separation and, in that state mountains can be moved and seas parted…because it us… As within so without.
Many heart based animal rights activists have experienced this feeling of oneness, and ‘divine intervention’ first hand especially on the blood sports field. Strange happenings that they can’t explain…but wish they could.
No room for self
For those interested in energy modulation of an event…no matter whether it’s direct action for animal or human rights… there is a cosmic rule. There can be no room for self.
This is a tall order for ego centred consciousness because when we are passionate about a cause that involves destruction of the innocent… our ego’s always try to control events.
We are in the right and our adversary in the wrong…black and bloody white, but it’s not black and white at all. In fact when we deal with cruelty and the energy of anti-life, our ego with its self-righteous indignation and violent confrontation only adds to the hate that is present, and as a result more animals die.
I’m not saying that if hunt thugs attack us with clubs…memory lane again! We don’t defend ourselves…but the key is not to get ourselves in that position. While we are punching hell out of each other….animals are dying.
Resonance and trust
When we try to order the universe…shit happens. But when we open our hearts to the infinite, and add our being-ness to the hunted creature, we can with intent become the hare, fox, deer, pilot whale and can influence their physical behaviour…get them to go against their instinct. In other words we can experience a spiritual shape-shift.
This is not pie in the bloody sky.
Psychic sabotage was proven on the hare hunts many moons ago. Even with the beagler’s police protection, the tally fell into single digits season after season. We had our psychic hit squad… the late great Tony Farann, Mary his wife, Fiona, Sue, myself and Colin; and the brave hearts from Guildford University…all of us witnessed spiritual intervention on many occasions. The hill we prayed on the night before the hunts we called ‘The Meadow of Miracles’.
I got booed off the podium at an annual general meeting of the Hunt sabs for expounding that violence is counter- productive, detrimental to the hunted animal. They didn’t believe that energetic sabotage is a force to be reckoned with. No one wanted to listen then… but today, in this climate of arrogant oppression perhaps … the time is right.
Animal economic terrorism Act
Make no mistake…if you try to save a hunted animal, expose brutality in factory farms; fur farms and vivisection hell…you’ll be the target of debased and self-seeking fractal consciousness backed up by unjust laws. Physical direct action is an absolute necessity to expose the work of devils, but there is a need for spiritual back up, and protection for those who are courageous enough to put their bodies in the line of fire.
Operation redemption
It is possible that some of us are entering a new phase of conscious spiritual experience A unity with All. A force that can never be conquered. It doesn’t matter if they lock us up, because for the mind of All there are no bars. As Sir George says in his wonderful book Operation Redemption :
“Of course we must fight our campaign to modify and change the evils that have arisen through human greed and ignorance. But the first essential is the inner change in understanding which will bring with it something of the poet’s sensitivity of knowing that we are truly one with the beings and processes of nature. Then we shall know that we hurt ourselves when we hurt the animals. We begin individually and collectively to redeem the huge karmic debt with which our souls are loaded through our maltreatment and exploitation of the animal kingdom. Let us never forget that cruelty is indivisible. In the oneness vision, we all share the responsibility and must start from within ourselves and our own environment to bring about the great redemption. And be sure that there is a great spiritual brotherhood on Higher Planes which will support our every effort.”
It is this spiritual awareness that will bring down the house of malignant cards that run the world, and usher in the oneness vision….and remember when it comes to the nay sayers and doubters:
“Whatever you do you need courage.
Whatever course you decide upon, there will always be someone to tell you that you are wrong.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hold fast to the dream….
Heartstar has a strong animal rights message….
Page 188 ‘The Key made of Air.’
“There was a vermin tree on the estate, and I got angry. I felt like murderin’ the gamekeeper and stickin’ ‘is body on the fence.” Jim nervously rubbed the back of his neck.”It’s so ‘ard not to feel angry when you see ‘ow much killin’ they do. What’s wrong with wanting to ‘urt back? They are not fuckin’ ‘uman ‘urtin animals like that.”

September 9, 2015 at 8:31 pmHi Mick, see you found a computor!
It’s a long hard road to keep your emotions out of the brutality of the hunting field,especially when you witness the most demonically inspired cruelties…the whole atmosphere around the hunt is poisonous. Its all impostor consciousness…there is no heart.
But that’s the test. To overcome the fear and rage, get ego out of the way, and open to the All, and then it happens.
This is a breakthrough a re-connection with who we really are…everything.
It’s amazing how evil often falls upon its own sword.
The police straight jacket forced us to stretch our minds to what is and what is not possible.
The biggest obstacle we face, is that when we are in the field for animals, we cannot divorce ourselves emotionally from the horror going on around us. To be able to modulate the frequency,we have to be in ‘the space’ between the charge which I wrote about in my article the Art of Neutral.
The mind has to be still and quiet for the connection to be made and we have to learn to surrender self and become the vessel of the All. Trust!Its the hardest thing we’ll ever do…but we can do it, once we understand the nature of this reality and the game we are imprisoned in.
Duality is the programme and its all us. That Art Thou…
Much love
Become an energetic modulator.

September 10, 2015 at 4:27 pmHa! There is a pub with wifi and I did take my tablet. The temptation of a real ale is too much. Besides, I can’t keep my mouth shut, can I?
Ah, that is the test. So many times I let the inner rage burn, the panther straining to be free. I now see Arda as a cosmic MK Ultra victim, a beta kitten used for her sexual energy (kundalini, the serpent energy of life). The betrayal rubbed in our faces – look what we do to your Mother! Look at what you do!
It is all contradiction, paradox, contrariwise.
Yet, within there is a glow, a joy of Life that will not be diminished, a Heart that only grows stronger with each atrocity.
Ironically, I watched ‘Sucker Punch’ the other week, mainly because of an article Vigilant Citizen wrote a few years ago (got it for 99p at Oxfam). For me, it was the Earth undergoing a spiritual lobotomy, creating our reality through Her tortured dreaming. What stuck in my mind was the end statement:
“Who honors those we love with the very life we live? Who sends monsters to kill us and at the same time sings that we’ll never die? Who teaches us what’s real and how to laugh at lies? Who decides why we live and what we’ll die to defend? Who chains us? And who holds the key that can set us free?”
“It’s you. You have all the weapons you need. Now fight.”
This is a bit ingenuous as the battle is an inner one – tat tvam asi – as you state (very eloquently, I might add).
It is difficult to trust, to fling yourself into the Void – Odin suspended from Yggdrasil, pierced by Gungnir, the Spear of Destiny.
To find the Silence….
Much Love.

Much love and thanks for the links.http://gaiancorps.com
My heart hurts for all the innocent beings on this planet whose lives are blasted by trauma. Cruelty is indivisible.

September 14, 2015 at 2:19 pmBravo Elva!!! One of the best articles I have ever read, and I read a lot and have for a very long time. I have a friend who is new to animal activism gets into a rage but she had an anger problem and flew into a rage even before turning vegan and learning about animal cruelty. So, I will hopefully get her to read this, although, I suspect the whole subject of animal cruelty is an outlet for the viscous cycle of her rage and anger and am at a bit of a loss at what to do. I have talked with her about anger management and I see most of it comes from childhood issues but fear just being in the area of animal rights activism now is aggravating this condition. Any wise suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

September 14, 2015 at 3:25 pmHi Linda,
I think there are a lot of people in any ‘rights’ movement that have debris from the past and channel their anger into causes. The easiest way to overcome anger from traumatic events is to re-pattern it using sound. This is why the CD Calendula is such a wonderful healing gift. What we are looking at with anger, rage and resentment is a dissonant fire field that has crystallised within the chakra system. The intervals of C+E fire descending, the third Pythagorean interval will re-pattern the anger….
http://www.biosonics.com Calendula is a suite for tuning forks.
Much love
