Center of the Center of the Center

The Verde Island Passage

Between Batangas and Mindoro, there is a passage of the sea where Verde Island is located which is alluded to by marine scientists as the “center of the center of the center of the richest marine biodiversity in the planet,” where if one were to dive into its depths would discern in its mists the splendid spires of sunken temples. But who would dare venture into these unfathomable depths? One diver died in its waters bereft of oxygen. There have been others. The current belief is that the body of water is guarded by spirits, and so it is dangerous for deep sea divers even the expert ones to venture freely under its tricky cross undercurrents making the sea passage very threatening to sea poachers and malevolent (to the guardian spirits) fishing vessels to navigate.

What cannot be seen with the eye, but that whereby the eye can see: know that alone to Bhraman, or God, the Spirit and not what people adore. What cannot be heard with the ear but that whereby the ear can hear: know that alone to be Bhraman or God, the Spirit and not what people here adore. What cannot be thought with the mind, but that whereby the mind the ear can hear: know that alone to Bhraman or God, the Spirit and not what people here adore. What cannot be thought with the mind, but that whereby the mind can think: know that alone to be Bhraman or God the Spirit, and not what people here adore. God, the scriptures is saying is formless consciousness and the essence of who you are. Everything else is form, is “what people here adore.” from the Upanishads

Most people are so identified with the dimension of form, with sense perception, thoughts, and emotions that the vital hidden half is missing from their lives. Their identification with form keeps them trapped in ego, as an ancient Kabbalist would speak about form.

A new modern Kabbalist I know is Ekhart Tolle who in his best-selling book, A New Earth, challenges us in our comfort zone when he says: The collective disease of humanity is that people are so engrossed in what happens, so hypnotized by the world of fluctuating forms. So absorbed in their lives, they have forgotten eternity, which is their origin, their home. Their destiny. Eternity is the living reality of who you are. In archaic Tagalog, you would in pure essence be considered taal na tao.. Translated: You are, in essence, a human being if you feel Eternity is your living reality. You are taal na tao . You are in pure essence, a human being.


A VOLCANO WITHIN A LAKE

The arcane Tagalog word taal for Taal volcano within a lake, in Luzon island of the Philippines, means pure essence. In his book The Mysteries of Taal, Thomas Hargrove, a scientist who worked at the IRRI (International Rice Reasearch Institute) in Los Banos, Laguna, writes about how Taal’s beauty and serenity is so ethereal, it makes one think of Eternity, one’s original abode, and one’s Essence Self, as one who visits the volcano within the lake, suddenly becomes aware of her powerful Presence which had held Hargrove captivated. I know, I felt that way too when I went down down there beside the misty lake with a group of friends, not above the ridge. Down beside the lake, I thought I was transported to another world, another dimension, but I was, and I want to go back… I’ll write more about this mystical dimension of Taal Volcano in another time………
Hey, I have to return to Hargrove who realized that Taal wanted him to write a book on her mysteries. He planned to go to Vietnam to explore an area there but shelved it,feeling Taal volcano was calling him. Lake Taal has her secrets and her underwater ghost towns but she makes you earn the right to share them. Hargrove had to go on many dives with others to discover some of her secrets, in the face of many dangers, mostly coming from venomous sea snakes that guard her sacred fresh waters. The untamed lake can darken her waters, becoming murky like her past…Most lakes within 500 km. of Manila have been hopelessly polluted. Man has stripped most of the forests from Taal’s caldera slope. Only her violent reputation has frightened industry from building factories along her shores, and desecrating her waters with polluting wastes.

SHADES OF LEMURIA

Reading about Taal volcano’s tempestuous temper brings to mind the equally mysterious Verde Island Passage which happens to be in the same area, in the province of Batangas, to be specific in San Juan town near the sea. We visited this place by the sea, entry point to the coral triangle called the Verde Island Passage, alluded to by scientists as the Center of the Center of the Center of the richest biodiversity of marine life in the planet. Google has much more to say about it. Last Thursday, May 27th 2010, on a mystical quest we made a trip to make Full Moon rituals of restitution for damages done by humans who attempted to develop the locale as a modern resort for tourism. It reminded me of Taal volcano, the smallest in the world but with the mightiest temper. No ambitious modern industry has ever dared carve out an installation of greed there. It has a reputation for sinking towns around its grounds, centuries ago, and recently a boat of visiting foreign visitors capsized without any sign of a coming storm.

Back to seascape, San Juan, Batangas: They said there was a road built around the crystalline core of its primal waters on its shore and other constructions like a ship that served as a restaurant jotting out in the sea which was part of a sea resort development for tourism. But this was later struck by ferocious waves of an angry sea driven by a series of typhoons that dislocated both vertically and horizontally some of the rocks that formed the earth’s seawall guarding the star portal of the Center of the Center of the Center of the richest marine biodiversity, there, causing it to become a polyhedron of a few fragmented mountain faces. Yet it wasn’t tough for our group to hike over the sharp edges of its broken rocky slabs as I discovered, they had flown over fast so it seemed to me while I fumbled but felt an invisible force was pushing me to hurry past over the holes where the ground had caved in for that made it all the more primordial and exciting. Shades of misty Lemuria of which this island kingdom was a part in unrecorded time…

It was a bit scary to walk that way for one who is a newcomer to the place. Nothing to it of course, my venturesome spirit becalmed me as I got excited by the idea that this was ancient Lemuria… the energies are charged with unseen power…. Yet I was modern enough to wear rubber shoes of a stylish brand so I managed with an occasional nanosecond heave-ho to walk on along with reaching out to a helping hand from a friend, to skip a mix of strewn dry broken branches of wild flora above us that would trip me up before I can reach the other side where our modern day - babaylan Grace Odal- Devora was to do her sacred dance of healing.

At times, Grace was seemingly floating in her gossamer white robe with a flowery regal headdress (which she said she got from under the bridge of Quiapo) that quaint colorful headgear to me made her a radiant bouquet of cosmic mysteries as could only arise from the garden of God/Goddess. From what ancient realm does her magicianship emerge may I ask?

Calling forth to Bathala, Bathala, Bathala..…our modern age babaylan Grace O was chanting her greetings to the root Source of life, the support and nurturance of primary being, she glided and swayed gracefully around our circle of offerings of fruits, and nuts, and what leafy things we could gather; she danced and sang her language of light around a bon fire later that two members of the Wiccan Society – Ishilta and Aldrin had set up. Two women who were with us come from the esoterically famed Pila Laguna society of new-age babylans, two others were visitors, one was taking a video (see Facebook) and the town consejal who’s the caretaker of the sacred site. Lifting supplicating arms to the skies where stars twinkled down on us,I noticed one twinkler got far and far away into space…? Ano kaya, an unidentified space ship? I sensed we were being watched and observed … Meanwhile, our friend Grace from UP (note: the University of the Philippines works in tandem with San Juan Batangas in a scientific study on phenomenology) continues as a focused shaft of light to ask for more unconditional love and shower wisdom and light on all simple human beings around the world as magic’s dimensional doors open …

On the horizon the Full Moon was reigning, her light shimmering on the bluest primordial sea I have ever seen in which sound, light, ecstasy, time, space, and form were born. In her powerful but gentle Presence she was presenting to us her receptive vibration as the primordial Mother in sacred union with the spiral of God. Oh, the night was pure magic as we offered prayers for these chaotic times, aggravated by an oil spill in the Mexican gulf in the US that can’t seem to be plugged that’s spreading its pollution over vast areas and so we meditated … knowing that divine nurturance will provide what is needed in our quest for undivided primal waters, symbolic of unis mundis. An awareness that we were right there where the Center of the Center of the planet Earth’s richest biodiversity of marine life, exists. It was truly awesome…sensing its high electrical charges or rising frequencies where all else dances… as we all did in the manner of aligning your will with the Divine, looking inside, not outside for answers through the lens of heart-knowing. Think with your heart. Allow yourself to be danced in divine innocence (Ramon took care of the music, Ishilta and Aldrin the drum drum, others the dreaming, droning tinkerbells, next time, I’ll borrow the sleighbells of old Santa K but it must be more Tibetan-like) as a channel for the highest magic. I think it was the sound of the waves that created more power, more enchantment and the heaving living closeness of the mighty sea under the luminous Full Moon....inducing you to be deeply meditative, attuning your breath to the Divine …ti’s heaven on earth.

As everyone knows, the Philippines is considered as the center of psychics in the world….Many of these psychics and prophets who are also healers or hilots, regard the existence of Lemuria/Mu as a physical reality in the Philippines. In fact, there are a number of them who have recalled former lives as citizens on the legendary lost continent of Mu. A world-renowned psychic surgeon, Alex Orbito was subjected to medical examinations by medical scientists in the West purposely to find out if he is an ET, an extraterrestrial being. Sooner than expected we may discover our own original home in the worlds beyond... . . .

TWO WAVES OF LIGHT

Election Day came on 10 May, 2010. Using automated election polls for the first time we the People felt it was a sudden good fortune brought about by transiting Uranus conjoined to natal Jupiter of the Philippine June 12 astrochart, as Uranus would indicate cyberspace,the IT,computers, automated machines to speed things up, certainly marking a departure from the old slow inefficient polling methods of the past. But with Uranus the planet of divine Mind, we have to confront man’s duality, or his twin realities – the one that is good—divine, and the other one that is evil -- profane. Therefore the transit of Uranus on Jupiter, the greater fortune planet, is best described as a sudden change in fortune. But which way the change will go is not easy to say. Sure, there would be a positive change of fortune as apparently many Filipinos would welcome a change of occupancy in Malacanang, a new President -– Noynoy Aquino -- although what is “apparently positive change” could be tricky at this time of the Shift in world consciousness. But certainly, the Philippines as a nation has "peaked" according to the Planets under the 9-year governance of PGMA called "the Working President" with Saturn passing through Virgo the sign of RP's Midheaven within 2007-2010. Review my previous two blogs before this one to get a fuller view of what transpired during these "golden harvest" years for this blessed country.

As many of us are becoming aware, there are two great waves of Light within the Shift that are bringing about a change within each one of us. P.S., I am sure that many of us are familiar with scientific terms such as "vibrations", "wave", "frequencies", "holograms", energy patterns that have become part and parcel of our mental makeup in this age of the Internet. Look up and see the exquisitely beautiful green Mandala above that pictures to you how energy is depicted in the way it makes the Tree of Life grow and from whence it gets nourished. Just in case you sneak in some time out of your busy skeds plus the added mental stimulus to seek universal truths I invite you to read back to my previous articles called "blogs" that have been archived in the Forest of Stars.

The First Wave is clearing our old memory patterns and old belief systems of the consensus reality that do not support our well-being, our rising consciousness. This Wave of Light is destabilizing and dissolving everything that is not aligned with our internal patterns of well-being and our relationship to our own truths. As difficult as such changes may be for many Filipinos who have been programmed TO BELIEVE in the good nature of their hero or heroine (Noynoy’s parents) by a manipulative propaganda machine – the media, Big TV networks, persistent opinion surveys that consistently serve to highlight their interests and to consistently degrade their rivals in power and their achievements. It is important to know that there IS a divine purpose to all that is occurring.

The First Wave of Light is not destabilizing “that which You Are,” rather it is allowing you to clear away “that which You are Not.” Old ties with the past may be broken now, as the world goes into its Ascending mode. Uranus conjunct Jupiter in the 4th House of the Philippine chart rules the ultimate basis of your being. It is the one aspect of reality which you assume will not change, like your attitude towards hero-worship of some iconic persons of our present society like the A’s An invocation is going around the Internet intoning “Si Ninoy ay namatay, si Noynoy ay nabuhay, si Peping ay darating”. LOL. As the transition from a lower vibration level to a higher one unfolds, many people are finding themselves in confusion as all their points of reference are shaking, all things they have been taught to trust, admire and build the foundation of their lives and beliefs are destabilizing before their eyes. The 3rd dimensionally established instituions are crumbling. If you wish to be recognized as a hero you don't trumpet it around you; just work and work for the greater good of all. It's the rising frequencies of your inner nobility of silence that will send the message beyond outer space. There's no need for media hype on TV ads to drumbeat your name or light up your prettified face in neon lights. For the structures of life that feed, house and keep us safe are breaking down. Suddenly we are seeing that the very authorities that we most believed, from healers who say, "Come to me," teachers who have proclaimed they have the Truth to leaders who say, "Trust me, I also slept on a bench..." and all those whom we have looked for guidance have built their houses upon shifting sands. The purpose is to shift your relationship from what is outside of you to an alignment with what is inside of you, from depending on the truths of others to discovering and setting your compass by your own truths. The first Wave of Light is not destabilizing "that which You Are" rather, it is allowing you to clear away "that which You are not."

As this occurs, a Second very powerful Wave of Light is providing us with the opportunity to rewire, rebuild and remember who we are and where we have come from. If we come from the Pleiades then that flashes as a beam of info. It is within the second wave that the realignment of our emotional body is being altered in our sleep state each night. It is through the second wave that a kinder, gentler you is crafted. As "who you are not" is being cleared, a renewed relationship is being remembered that happened thousands of years ago with your Heart and Soul, the inner You. A relationship that makes you think from the Heart and act from the wisdom of the Soul... Then you begin to "know Yourself" and realign with the Love within the Heart. If those of us who want to be elected to high positions in government are able to do this Shift from the outer to the inner, then we will not succumb to fear for our structures to crumble. If we do not resort to hidden tactics to cheat elections for fear of losing, then there will be no need for hocus-PCOS. Because the Second Wave is a higher dimensional vibration of Light that is allowing us to step into Certainty, Personal Power, and Command to co-create, co-exist, and cooperate without judgments and opinions of right and wrong, good or bad, and what you should do or should not do. Because this dissolves the duality of Good and Evil and make you One with the Divine Source and all that Is.

With Uranus, the cosmic symbol of God’s Mind, transiting the 4th House of roots, attitudes that smack of feudalism, the old servile attitude towards masters who make you work hard for a peso so you beg for money to pay for other basic needs, such as medicines, weddings, and burials is now being changed. If the advanced economies of the world are now crumbling it is calling for a Shift to restore the lost balance. At this time of the Shift from 3rd dimensional servile life to 5th dimensional higher form of freedom of thought, we Filipinos especially the Masses are being destabilized out of their “victim consciousness” by the First Wave of Light to dissolve everything that is not aligned with their internal patterns of well-being resulting if they will seek to comprehend with their mind and align with their Heart and Soul, they will start to Awaken and rise into a higher level of Consciousness, a higher level of culture. Because, truth to tell, there's nothing here but consciousness. How conscious are you that you are conscious?

We have just finished a presidential election and the apparent President-elect is a man who is represented by a SUN-MOON CONJUNCTION in the 7th House of close partners in the annual Solar Return chart of the Philippines. The event will completely modify the Filipino people’s destiny in the sense that the SUN-MOON CONJOINED forms a nerve center in the annual chart which is MOST SENSITIVE in the area of Partnerships. The area where one comes into Certainty and Personal Power to co-create, to co-exist and cooperate with others without judgment and opinions as to right or wrong. Already you have a President-elect who wants to be 80 per cent co-dependent with a Vice President when it comes to making judgments and decisions in very serious matters of State. This is not coming from an invention of a criticizing mind, for Noynoy said this himself in an interview. He can’t live without a close partner as a president, not necessarily a romantic marriage partner. He needs a kasama, a kadamay, just like what it says in the Philippine chart of June 12 about the Filipino archetype with Neptune-Sun-Pluto higher octave planets all aligned in Gemini, the sign of linkages, of small talk, very inquisitive, quite studious, far from being the sign of a small mind, unless you let it deteriorate into that level and become a gossip. But happily, the Universe balances Gemini with Higher Mind, universal and philosophical sign Sagittarius which is its polarity and the Gemini-Sagittarius tandem beckons us to spiritually conquer the worlds beyond through healing service as embodied by our heroic OFW’s.

So much depends on the Partnerships with eager-beaver Advisers that will bring vacillation or delays in making decisions due to the influence of those around the new President in this peculiar case of the Solar Return chart of RP 2010, an election year. Because the SUN makes a negative square (90 degrees) aspect to SATURN, the Lord of Karma (governing the Law of Cause and Effect) indicates that various factors in the outside world will challenge the Chief Executive strongly, and so it may seem difficult to maintain his freedom of action in whatever he is trying to do. Meanwhile, in his work he is making up his mind with some degree of difficulty which is not healthy for him -– promotions are hindered, businesses have trouble overcoming many difficulties in order to stay at the same level. The Midheaven is in a difficult T-Square that often brings an unfortunate event in government which calls for much prayer coming from all of us, as Saturn most elevated can indicate illnesses among the people. Or this turns around miraculously as you are powerful and purposeful during this time (June 3, exact July 13, exact Nov. 12, leaving Dec 13, 2010 --Pluto trine Mars from 1st to 9th houses) rendering diseases insignificant. The new Commander-in-Chief Noy has the ability to assess his goals and ambitions with clarity and put in the required effort for success. Even the most demanding tasks will seem easy to him during this time and so with the rest of us who would enjoy opportunities to make inroads into our life's ambitions. See, Uranus conjucnt Jupiter makes life much easier.

If we know the Master's Alchemy program, words are not simply used to describe things. They actually carry vibrations that have very potent transformative healing powers. To transcend the difficulties we would encounter in the workplace or in whatever we do while relating to others we have to use words that express our "personal power," "command" and "certainty" in our desire to attract the law of abundance. We need to create structure in our life through utilizing a masculine energy which when aligned with the feminine Heart energies of such words as "kindness," "beauty" and "graciousness" by embodying them in our everyday activities as well as speaking "gratiude" for everything that we recieve at the same time expressing "humility" in action instead of negative energies such as anger, hate, and aggression we help to create the Balance the planet Earth desperately needs. Because together with Mother Nature we have to transcend the dreadful EARTH-CHANGES accompanying the ending of a Great Cycle of 26,000 years and get into the beginning of a New Earth cycle by the year 2012.

Noynoy will lean on his VP or feminine surrogates such as his nurturing sisters (MOON) who may be moody or have rapidly changing moods which may interfere with the clear perceptions of the President’s goals (Moon in negative Square to Midheaven) especially if his goals have been set without much regard to the traditional ideals of the people. Or a sudden and exciting new opportunity may present itself between June 4, exact June 12, leaving June 21; entering Aug 23, 2010, exact Sept 3, leaaving Sept 11; entering Jan 21, 2011, exact Jan 26, leaving Feb 1, 2011-- Jupite trine Uranus,and you are in just the mood to make the most of any lucky break. Your psychic and intuitive abilities may be strong now making up for any lack of practical commonsense for Pres. Noy, and the rest of us. Study,travel. technical, esoteric and scientific pursuits may feature.

For to attract the law of abundance, Noynoy has learned to shift from a tendency towards outer arrogance to an inner humility and gratitude because he wants to be successful in his job. He is learning now to show gratitude for the country's life-changing infrastructure nation-wide designed to attract foreign investors and make RP advanced in economic stature in Asia. Travel around the country as a tourist and see for yourself an astonishing network of world-class roads, highways, bridges, airports, seaports tied up with a nautical highway called Ro-ro; watch a flood-control system that captures flood waters during typhoon season and stores in irrigation dams that water ricelands for planting during the dry,hot season; see rows and rows of housing units for the poor and homeless, thousands of new schools, improved electrification in rural areas, increased agricultural technology to assure food security; view the abundance of food supply in open markets countryside, listen to what the barriotic people say about how their new environment is no longer jurassic, meaning backwards; watch the GNP rise each year of PGMA's regime making this country afloat at a time when other world economies are sinking under water in recession... That is the great legacy being passed on to his administration for maintenance and safe-keeping by the previous GMA administration. It is very Important that the new president recognizes this and show appreciation because the Shifting sands of negativity that feeds on aligning with the Dark Ones resulting in arrogance and lack of gratitude and humility will strike the ground where he stands and woe to all of us in this country who unknowingly share his karma for good or ill.

He may feel dissatisfied with his progress for there is always something lacking. All of these feelings signify that he needs to readjust or at least reexamine his priorities with regards to his job and his family. Which is more important to him in the long run, and which should it be, country or family or Kamaganak,Inc.? He is not young in the political game. The serious jobs of congressman and senator have been his. He ought to show the world what he has accomplished in these areas. In his natal chart, it says he lacks the initiative or the drive to be productive, but becoming president may be his big unbelievable chance to transcend his unproductive past. However, the First Wave of Light has already made its Purpose felt for Noynoy and for all of us to learn from certain players in this drama of human evolution, and to move us into more illumination from there. We the People will no longer be so dominated by an iconic idea as a result of all these upheavals thanks to brave whistle-blowers who have been upsetting the Comelec by their shocking expose that the automated elections were rigged. Reports have been aired that Smartmatic as a group has been banned in the US for alledged fraudulent polls during some of its primaries. Locally, many others appear to protest irregularities, but Congress is led by people in government who’d rather not be destabilized and be asked to clear away pet notions based on certain old beliefs that have become rigid and inflexible. Still, hearings in Congress for truth to come out, are going on at this moment, thus we have been moved by the First Wave of Light, in order for us to GROW IN CONSCIOUSNESS in the political arena.

Transiting Pluto in Capricorn afflicts the Phil. Moon in Aries between late May, exact May 12, exact June 4 2010, leaving July 14,2010, describing a time of emotional tension in which events, people, or memories from the past return to haunt you. Exposes of election fraud or family relationship disturbances have surfaced in order that you may recognize and let go of old emotional patterns we have discussed here, It is ideally a time of growth, but growth often brings painful recognition of past mistakes. If you experience a sense of emotional loss, it is better to grieve as is natural with any loss.

Noynoy will feel unusually discouraged because his vitality may be fluctuating and suddenly gets at a low point when depressed. It is not good to stress his mind. MERCURY the planet of intelligence is in the 6th House of health, afflicted by MARS in the 9th house of philosophy and advanced ideas. It is best not to struggle too hard against any adversity that comes into his life later on. His energy level is down at critical points. Authority figures such as critics coming from socio-economic levels and judicial rulings will prove difficult to deal with. He may find that they are not receptive to his plans or recommendations sometimes (Moon in negative square to Midheaven, SR chart of Phils.)but generally,a partnership with like-minded people is the impression we get from this 2010 SR chart.

To benefit from Noynoy’s presidency We the People must be willing to become more flexible and open to new ideas, and not be enslaved by icons created by vested interest groups through propaganda that saturates the TV networks, controversial opinion surveys that are mind-conditioning and -controlling. The structures being challenged ARE THOSE THAT ARE RIGID, not the ones that are alive and vital and aligned with our heart and soul that is closely aligned with the Heart of the Creator or Source.
