THE WORLD DISCOVERS SUDDENLY THE FILIPINO

The world suddenly discovers the Filipinos as super beings, and it’s the Filipino women who are the first to sense it, to believe it and relish the Awareness.

In this blog, I venture to demonstrate the difference between the Feminine viewpoint, and the Masculine viewpoint (if it is not balanced by intuition and is guided purely by logic and reason, the 10 per cent of the brain), The feminine viewpoint is derived from Intuition, astral vision, meaning its perception of reality would reach out to the stars, beyond logic and reason, physical limits, as Intuition, astral vision is the 90 per cent of the brain.

Media men who are prone to negativities, to downgrade the Filipino as a people in the news, and to laugh at their clumsy attempts to get their act together, (or to agonize on why the masses seemingly do not know how to elect leaders of integrity in the land to govern them) are the first ones to be horrified by any hint to the contrary – that Filipinos are actually great human beings. Because if they are super beings, they reason out why is the country lagging behind other notable Asian countries in physical-material terms? Take this particular columnist with initials ACA, for instance (titled Tapat Dapat! in a local newspaper, taken from the Internet: “A curious piece, titled, “Filipino as a superbeing, filipinizing the world.” and written by my friend Gilda Cordero-Fernando, much-awarded fictionist and book publisher, graced the front page of the Philippine Daily Inquirer (Nov. 9, 2002) and must have raised a few eyebrows. It certainly did mine.”

To continue: Gilda, who has always been upbeat on the badly beaten up Filipino (bless her!), sees in the “multifaceted Filipino the creativity and talent to make it big in the world.” And Gilda quotes an astrologer-friend, one Georgina Solina, that “the Filipino defies definition, he is the thesis and anti-thesis, he is in the world but not of this world. You can’t put him in a straightjacket and measure him…. The Filipino is a highly evolved soul yet lives a dual reality. Locked in his DNA is the capacity to be a superbeing. When you begin to feel. Wala nang pag-asa itong taong ito, kalat Na kalat, that’s when he feels he has to get himself together, kasi sukdulan na, crisis na…” (this person is hopeless, he's scatter-brained, he can't stay focused, it's just over the top for him...)

“The Pinoy is a crisis person. It is his nature. Pagsagad na, sagad na siya, he is able to muster all the courage of his being and rise beyond the physical (but when he has sank into the abyss...) What is significant about People Power I and II as we never tire of recounting, is that they were such strange revolutions.” (They were indeed strange revolutions, since nothing revolutionary transpired, during and after, ACA, the columnist). (Note: the Marcos regime ended, the People Power I was a bloodless revolution that succeeded despite our fears born of logic and reason. The Marcoses fled to Hawaii, and Cory Aquino became the first woman to get elected president, restoring democratic rule in the country) Gilda continues: There was no mob rule in those huge gatherings, people were eating ice cream, dancing, singing. Gilda continues: At the same time, the Filipino was praying and praying (Note: pictures at the time show them holding rosary beads while some people were carrying the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary, speaking of the Sacred Feminine!)

“He was evoking (sic) higher forces. In involving supreme values –or redressing injustices, the need for a new order etc. – which are the ethics of an evolved and heroic man, he had gone up to the higher levels of his being (Note: Gilda is actually echoing me when she speaks about ‘higher levels of being’ and here, she is venturing beyond the boundaries of mainstream journalism, I doff my cap to her for her courage, for she was writing this article at a time, Nov. 2002, when the World Mind wasn’t awakened yet or accelerated enough to appreciate, and understand higher levels of consciousness as in viewing films with visual links to the galactic dimensions and getting golden globe awards for "best picture of year" like the top-rated “Avatar,” filmed in 2009.

We were not yet deep into the Galactic cycle of the Mayan Calendar, although the higher consciousness energies were starting to gear up after Jan., 1999, if you review the Mayan Calendar, we were already holding study group meetings on cosmic consciousness, and getting excited by rising frequencies born out of transcending negativities like anger, hate, resentment, unforgiveness, warmongering, and when one sees the miracle resulting from not expecting anything and then getting everything, it boggles the mind. But let’s continue. “His frequencies rose, he went beyond the third dimension, in to a protected state, a level beyond destruction. That is why no shot could be fired, no grenade could be thrown. Only the Pinoy is able to do that and it has become a model for revolutions in Asia .”

Back to our columnist-critic: By this criterion, Ferdinand Marcos was the Great Hero of People Power I since it was he – excuse me, he – who firmly. categorically and publicly rejected on television the frantic requests of Gen. Fabian Ver for permission to fire on the mob who were eating ice cream and singing and dancing in front of Camp Aguinaldo, and was therefore, following this odd logic, the first one to transmogrify beyond the third dimension.

Note: True, it’s odd logic to see Marcos prevailing upon his chief of staff Ver not to resort to violence, not to fire on the so-called ‘mob’ eating ice cream, singing at the same time—praying with rosary beads, invoking the protection of the Divine Feminine, Mother Mary, Mother of miracles. Doesn’t the columnist know Ferdinand Marcos was an occultist himself? He was inclined to be profound and mystical in his writings; he only had to live out his role as a leader of bringing the critical transition period between the Planetary cycle of Power to an end so the Galactic cycle of Ethics Overriding Power of the Mayan Calendar can begin, consciously or unconsciously -- following its pyramidal step-by-step process of human evolution.In the universal scheme of things, you see, nothing happens by accident. Everything happens for the good. Take it from the Bhagavad Gita, sacred scrptures of the Hindus.

Critic continues: What alarms me is the suggestion (in Gilda’s article) that “the Filipino has a role to play in the coming world scenario. We didn’t just export bodies. We exported our own brand of people and our culture… in the Age of Aquarius, the Filipino would be empowered, his sun will rise, he will govern and his real wisdom will shine…..” which presumably presages the fulfillment of our mission, spelled out in the headline, that of “filipinizing the world.”

But is the world prepared and willing to be filipinized? The macho columnist asks, and he suggests. Perhaps this should be debated in the UN Security Council soon. This is followed by some insidious scenarios evoking hahahas as more masculine heads were coming in to participate in making comments, ridiculing “the banter of two silly women,” except ACA the columnist himself of “Tapat Dapat” who thinks “It is heroic of Gilda and Georgina to put a positive spin to our character flaws and our collective failures. I myself also believe that the Filipino has “the creativity and talent to make it big in the world…” But he can't help wishing we had better men to govern the country so our people don't have to leave for greener pastures. Again, here's where the feminine wisdom differs from the masculine rational view. Gilda argues in her essay that the universe will make the situation at home really hard for Pinoys to push them to their limits..so they can fulfill the divine plan for them to help lift the world to its higher vibrations but not always at their expense for they will enjoy the sharing of the wealth too with those they serve.

The occultist and the scientist both use the mind in different ways. The scientist through the conscious faculties and the occultist through the unconscious . But scientists are gradually becoming more aware of the deeper levels of reality. As Max Planck has said: “Science means unresisting endeavor and continually progressing development towards an aim which the poetic intuition may apprehend, but which the intellect can never fully grasp.

Gilda’s writing on the Filipino as a superbeing is meant to be taken from a symbolic level which the poetic intuition may apprehend, but which the intellect can never fully grasp. For as the way our respected critic columnist would suggest: We can filipinize the French by convincing them to build an LRT a la Edsa MRT, on the magnificent Champs Elysees and the ritzy Rue de Rivoli up to the Ille de Cite, with incredibly ugly stations at key stops such as the Arc de Triomphe, the Place de la Concorde, the Louvre Museum and the Notre Dame Cathedral. That should spark a real revolution. Hahaha. But all that is physical. Great art, yes, but all that can be burned and destroyed and lost. We have on record in our world history great civilizations that have been pillaged by invading armies, burned and ruined in the past. But what cannot be destroyed is that of the spirit. You can kill us, but you can't destroy our spirit.

Part of the duality of minds is to assume that the question and the answer are different. In another article “The Diaspora according to Mystics “ which carries the same context about Filipinos as super beings. Gilda says: So why is the world suddenly discovering the Filipinos? asks Georgina Solina. (Gilda still insists this question has a valid answer coming from a mystic- astrologer, she does not assume it’s hers, how humble, she’s only reporting!) A director of a hospital in the US was quoted as saying, “Without Filipino nurses, this hospital will not run. There are nurses from, all over the world. Why not Thai nurses? Chinese nurses? Scandinavian, French nurses? Because beyond their skill and their training the Filipino healers – doctors, nurses, teachers, caregivers and yayas have something that the foreigners cannot define. Because it is invisible.

Georgina: The paradox to understand is that the very process that seems to break down the world, says Carl Calleman, author,lecturer, and authority on the Mayan Calendar, is that the very process that seems to break down the world economy and political dominance is also the one that paves the way for Enlightenment. This is because the imbalance (as we view it in this on-going argument between the female and the male regarding the truth of human existence) has been dominating humanity for some 5000 years has had its direct cause the dualist frame of consciousmness that has been ruling throughout this time.

On June 15, 2008, I got a forwarded message (thru the Internet) from a good friend, titled: "The Filipino Invasion" that says in part: If centuries ago European colonizers went far and wide to conquer countries and peoples with the sword, a new colonization is taking place today, which no one knows about it. It's past 11 pm on the tramcar in a northern Italian city. Few people, one spoken language: Tagalog. Probably Italians at this hour prefer riding their own car. Instead, constantly chatting, my Filipina friends are returning home after a hard day's work. And yet there is an aura of serentity,among them, which makes this gray town glitter. Aurora is working as a maid, but the family she is working with has given her a car, a beautiful room, and the keys to the house. Now they are trying to bring her husband over from the Philippines as well. "If only I could find a Filipina to work for me," exclaims a friend when I ask him how Italians feel about Pinays. "They are appreciated not for their hardworking habits, or their faithfulness to Catholic tradition. There is something more." As the narrative goes, there is a concensus here that although sometimes sadly enough Overseas Filipino Workers are exploited by their families for the money they make, they are much in demand abroad, as the fresh air needed in a warm room. It's a peaceful invasion, of the kind that you don't know is happening, but it's quietly changing the world. It's the Filipino invasion, so writes the author of the message. In the last 20 years those millions of Filipinos who have left our country have slowly started to change the culture of the countries that welcome them.

In the Middle East, another message has ben going around the Internet, by a certain Muhammad Al-Maghrabi who had become handicapped and shut down his flower and gifts shopbusiness in Jeddah after his Filipino workers insisted on leaving and returning home. Al-Maghrabi then flew to Manila to look for two other Filipino workers to replace the ones who had left. "There is no comparison between Filipinos and others," he says. Whenever, I see Filipinos working in the Kingdom, I wonder what our life would be without them." Saudi Arabia has the largest number of Filipino workers -- 1,019,577 In 2006 alone, the Kingdom recruited more than 223,000 workers from the Philippines and their numbers are still increasing. Nobody here can think of a life without Filipinos. The Philippines is home to some 23 percent of the world's total number of nurses. Many of them work abroad in countries such as the U.S., the U.K., the Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Singapore. To cite another area of work: there are 1.2 million Filipino sailors. Again, if they have something that's not very apparent in other world-workers, it's as Gilda describes it -- because it's invisible.

It provides what the materialist world does not have, and balances what the world has -- and has been amplifying in search of inordinate gain by tipping the earth's balance. In the film "Avatar" the Supreme will not intervene unless the balance is upset and will send the Forces of nature raging to lash out, to destroy the mechanized warfare of humans who invaded the moon planet Pandora to mine a mineral as expensive as gold.

Out in the world in search of a well-paying job, the Filipino has to do the task of balancing without his knowing it. He is induced to excel himself by being patient, compassionate, and understanding for the handicapped, the very sick and putting up with what is unkind, unjust, and inhuman. He meets up with the brutally ill in hostile foreign bosses who draw out his ability to respond, to create dynamic equilibrium, bringing his essence self into his present expression. His aliveness is derived from Essence that embodies the divine in one's organic form. As the Filipino is infused with the vibration of heaven (and it's better when s/he is not aware of it) heaven is brought to Earth. At home, the Filipino is kalat, scattered, sabog, unfocused, a definite failure, because he must respond to higher universal forces outside of his native land to find himself. Thus s/he tends to excel when he is out in the world where he can create the organic balance that is lacking in it, coming from the roots of many dimensions as higher universal octaves Neptune and Pluto govern his soul..his essence self. Gilda calls the Pinoy multidimensional, he is in this world but not of this world, therefore, he is hard to define because he is not limited to the third-dimensional world. By healing those who are severely ill (or can be healed) he is able to transcend what is limiting to himself and others. S/He has to prove he can heal by restoring psychological balance to emotionally unstable people...and when he does, heaven is brought to Earth. Because he has created organic balance by offsetting the imbalances within the invisible dynamics of the essence self, through healing himself and others, he brings heaven on Earth in a symbolic union.

We can go on and on with the numbers of the unemployed as jobs go up and down in the world today, and Filipinos may be seen as getting More. The more they serve the more they are needed and are thus prospered. But what is emerging here is a clear picture of the kind of Enlightenment humanity is approaching as the cosmic plan is completed in 2011, as per Mayan Calendar, and the Filipinos appear to be at the center of the "all hands on deck" larger picture in support of the Supreme Being's thought for the kind of Enlightenment humanity will approach as the cosmic plan is completed in 2011. Callman continues: Although there are many descriptions of enlightened beings and ascendad masters from human history I personally think that their states of consciousness in various ways have been limited by the creation fields that were ruling at the particular time they were (or they are)living.

Gilda continues: "The Western World needs healers, continues Solina. They have a woundedness that is very deep and not curable by plasters and unguents and medicines and surgery. Because theirs is not a physical wound but a soul wound, and western medicine knows only how to treat the physical. (Which hints about why there are so many incurable diseases like cancer and AIDS). The woundedness will have to be treated on a deeper level, through one’s etheric, astral and spiritual bodies – our three higher bodies that intertwine the physical body. The world is at the beginning of a new consciousness that will shift the focus of the treatment of the body to the mind. It will teach the individual how to reconnect to the higher source (God). To learn lessons of forgiveness, of how to do things for others, to learn that if you ask for nothing, you will get everything .

The Filipino’s heart is bigger than most. We are the best equipped to do the job. Our healers have deep inner resources of unending patience, understanding and compassion. Healing the world and one’s country is the Filipino mission. That is why we have been bestowed an abundance of magical gifts. From Gilda’s article "The Diaspora according to Mystics" And I say Amen to that.
