WHY FILIPINOS HAVE TO WORK IN MIDDLE EAST

It seems that Pinoys are led by an unseen divine force to work in the Middle East, because of their sovereignty of Spirit, or what we call 'internalized spirituality' that is alive in them as Freedom Flame which is sorely needed in the Middle East. Conscious of it or not, the flowing Light called Freedom Flame must have been embodied by souls coming from many democratic countries to produce a physical manifestation of it in the region that's dominated by ruling despots. The OFW Filipinos appear to be among those “sent” there to ignite the minds of despot-dominated Arabs with the Freedom Flame of the higher dimensions to set them free!!
P.S. This article is divided in two parts, so you may stop reading after the First Part, and continue later.

EVERYTHING IS CONSCIOUSNESS

Our being trapped in the midst of the chaos in the Middle East nowadays goes to show, how far we have gone into higher levels of consciousness, into Beingness, as a race of people for many of us are our own ancestors coming from the ancient past. We are back to Earth coming from the Pleiades (a group of planets named "Seven Sisters" near the Galactic Center)to return the Flame of Freedom to Earth, and it is the Solar Fire of the divine Feminine that was banished for thousands of years by patriarchy. Review the previous posting in my weblog on the subject, "Return of the Solar Fire of the divine Feminine" for you to reconnect to this cosmic exchange of flaming torches from the Divine Masculine to the Divine Feminine.

When we pass Saturn's orbit to continue onward into space, we come across the last three members of our Solar System Sun's family. Astrologers call them the "planets of the higher octave." It is important to discuss the meaning of this cosmic phase for us to get a clear understanding of the esoteric principles which Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto embody. It so happens that these Higher Octave planets are most prominent in the Philippine national chart-- Sun conjoined with Neptune and Pluto,7th house,Uranus conjoined with Saturn,both retrograde in 12th house in flowing favorable trines to Moon in 4th house of home and roots of the soul.

The first seven lights (planets) represent the forces of Life and Light which affect us individually, but once we touch upon the influence of Uranus for instance, the 8th planet, we find that his sister Neptune, and brother Pluto carry vibrations of higher cosmic energies affecting Mankind as a whole, the collective Human mind. We must realize that Human Evolution is far from having completed its course. Man has not reached his perfected and designed state of being. Man has so far only activated his five physical senses, but there are three metaphysical senses which lie dormant within him, and these are Uranus, Neptune, Pluto,and they lead us to the 6th sense called Intuition. Mankind as a whole is just awakening to its presence. The rays of Uranus allow Man to move forward toward the fulfillment of his collective destiny: the development of the 7th sense.

To restore the Solar Fire of the Divine Feminine which carries the higher 6th sense of Intution, our women OFWs had to leave home, and still do, to apply for work overseas as domestics in the households of the last bastions of human slavery in some parts of the Middle East where the rays of Love and Light are coming in but are still being blocked by bruality or severe unkindness to others. Our brave Pinoy women were driven by their collective unconscious which is apparently "awakening" in them to work overseas to seek a better future for their children.

To achieve this objective they have to serve a scattering number of Arab masters (as many of the young Arabs are getting educated in foreign countries and are becoming democratized) who continue to despicably “enslave” foreign workers, which is a carry-over from their past lives as despotic masters of captive slaves from wars. Because Filipinos were “sent” by the powerful energies of the Yod, a rare “Finger of God” planetary configuration in the Philippine astrological chart of June 12, 1896, they will be provided with the inner strength and stamina to endure, assisted by angelic messengers who bring unconditional support to people who would dare to venture into the unknown. "After millennia of brutality to one another -- individual to individual, group to group. it is now clear that our fears cannot be healed by the accumulation of mere wealth, physical beauty or prowess, since these are external powers that fade away. Out of a deeper understanding brought by the the gentle power of the Goddess, the Sacred Feminine,leads us to another kind of power."

ANOTHER KIND OF POWER

Gary Zukav in his remarkable metaphysical book Seat of the Soul calls this a power that loves life in every form that it manifests, a power that has reverence for life, that does not pass judgment, that perceives a meaningfulness and purpose in everything that lives. This is authentic power. It is a power that is drawn from the deepest roots of a man's soul.

The original purpose of the Yod is to bestow upon the chart and the people a special blessing if the natives' conscious mind would remember their divinity and seek spiritual riches. The Yod denotes great difficulties to be overcome. It is a planetary configuration that has stressful vibrations like the T-square and the Grand Cross when set off by transits or by progressions, underscoring tendencies towards changeability or lack of stability because of its stressful effects as experienced by our OFWs the women especially since they have to deal with the hundred and one duties in serving a household of too demanding and abusive masters as previously described.

The Lemurians from the Pleiades have returned! We are our own ancestors! We are the ones we have been waiting for!! But unhappily, we suffer from amnesia, we cannot seem to remember where we came from, or we remember only at fleeting radiant moments when the Light is not blocked by our ignorance of the law. Says the Almighty: “The Earth has been dry for a very long time (probably referring to the deserts of Arabia) desirous of the flow of the Water of Life
You, Beloved are sent back to bring forth and allow for the Light, Life and Love of God to stream through the earth. It requires attention. It requires supreme trust. And it requires a virtuous life.”

A VIRTUOUS LIFE

Filipinos by instinct can see that God is Father and Mother, that their balanced union is their source, their love will keep them on their course, that they are offered the abundant life, to free them from all sense of strife, so they plunge into the stream of Life, all over the planet as OFWs, to awaken from this bad dream of religious divide when they see that Life is truly one. They are not afraid to venture into the darkness of the religious turmoil between Islam and Christianity to form God’s body on Earth and give our planet its rebirth into a Unity Consciousness where the absence of Light has embroiled it in darkness.

Yet Pinoys have to confront the religious divide in their own country too, but they feel in their gut feeling, they can resolve it by going away for a while to confront the greater divide overseas, particularly in the Middle East. Here in their own country, Filipinos will differ between those 1) who have an inborn awareness of the inner path, knowing God as the I Am Presence or the God within, coming from their ancient Lemurian past. 2) those who have only an inkling of it, and now feel a nudge from the Spirit to search for more knowledge about the I Am Presence, and 3) those who turn a deaf ear to it as this thought of seeking the truth about the I Am Presence has been blocked by ignorance – the belief in a hebrew God in the sky who is separated from his Creation, the All That is.

Thus the worship of God who is in Nature was slashed away by colonizing Spanish monks clad as conquering soldiers with their sharp, swift swords. In three centuries they almost succeeded in destroying all vestiges of it, burying into oblivion this Filipino ancient belief system in a God who is All in all -- the ancient Kabbalistic belief that we are immersed in God, a gentle Father-Mother God that enfolds all of us in Nature. There's a poetic song by Schiller, sang by a Thai friend titled "I Feel You" which elevates and magnifies the feeling of being One with God and humanity in Nature. See it in my profile page in Facebook.

So these seemingly unenlightened Filipinos are responsible for slashing away our beautiful forests, carving away our hillsides to bring truckloads of gravel and sand to build high rise condos in the cities, and when Mother Nature lashed back with blazing lightning and thunderbolts and swept away the broken terrain with howling winds and intermittent rains, she buried the natives under floods and mudslides. Where did the corrupt government officials who surreptitiously ordered the native Mangyans or others to cut down the trees go? They fled the islands with their loot to live in distant glorious harbors glorified by casinos and drug lords. In these fair islands, the divine Pure Essence of the soul has been kept however, intact in the DNA of the Filipino consciousness, expressed through the energies of Infinite love, truthfulness, compassion, beauty, and hard work, serving the very ill, disabled, and aged here, and mostly abroad. A virtuous life is the result. And abundance comes with a virtuous life.

In Europe, Filipinos are said to have rented a church so they can go to one, to make 'babad', or sink themselves in deep contemplative prayer because some of the old churches have been turned into museums. Their faith has deepened and they have become even more prayerful than when they were in their home country because of the great difficulties, besides the temptations they encounter adjusting to weird cultures abroad.

There’s no lack of food supply from both land and sea in these islands, even if many of the natives cannot respond to the higher Neptune’s vibrations to appreciate God's majesty and bounty, we find it in a great number of Filipinos, where a negative Neptune’s influence is strongly modified. Instead of clearing a path so that true psychic visions and mystical inspirations can manifest through people’s emotional nature, a low vibration Neptune makes one an unrealistic dreamer. When its negative influence predominates in a national horoscope, the native can be quite lazy, unnecessarily secretive, and an escapist. Neptune dislikes physical work and feels constrained by earthly responsibilities. However, the presence of the Yod or "Finger of God" in the Philppine national chart changes this tenor. Filipinos will have to leave their island-paradise to seek greener pastures, which redounds to earning green bucks called dollars or Saudi reals or Kuwaiti dinars. Remittances coming from the Filipino OFWs have kept the Philippine economy afloat at this time of the Shift in consciousness when well known economically advanced countries like the US,UK are suffering from financial downturn.

A message from Jesus Christ comes, Jan, 29, 2011, source: Ascended Masters -- “As we said, in the Year of the Mother, all fixed structures will seem to be threatened and they must be re-thought. This includes dictators and false gurus of all kinds, including those who rule Islam. This is not to say that all structures will disappear in this year 2011. but events will force people to re-think their structures. Comment: In the Philippines, the re-structuring of the external houses (government institutions) will have to start from the cleansing of the inner houses of their souls. Hence, the tremendous upheaval in Congress in investigating violations of the law against corruption, is in spirit, not dissimilar from the intensity of cleaning the structures of government in the Middle East which has started to explode. Jesus continues:

“What you can do as a spiritual person is to hold the vision that the dictators will fall, that democracy will emerge and that this will lead to a shift in the collective consciousness of Arab countries. Even if this leads to a period of that which seems like chaos compared to the forced order imposed by a dictator, you can see this is a necessary step towards growth. The problem is that the Islam world has not gone through the same process of separating church and state as Europe went through this dominance, as it transcended Catholic domination during the era of reformation. Most Muslims have not taken full responsibility for themselves or for their actions. That is why there are so many Muslim or Arab nations that have dictators. The people’s unwillingness to take responsibility has attracted this kind of leaders. A religion that promotes the external path to salvation as opposed to the true inner path that we describe on this website. This external path does not require you to take responsibility for your own state of mind or for the fact that your state of mind is what creates your external circumstances.

“The fact is that when the dictators fall, there will be a period of turmoil which might seem threatening. Yet gradually, the people will begin to realize that they no longer have a dictator to blame – as a dictator whom many see as being supported by the West. They will have to take responsibility for their own situation. Obviously, this will take a while, but it is the only way there can ever be progress in the region. Democracy did not appear in Europe in a week.

“So the best thing in the world one could do is to take this longer view, and be willing to endure a period of chaos in order to further the long-term growth -- and thus, the longer stability of the region.


PART TWO:
My daughter Bernadette wrote us in Facebook that she had this chance to sit with a Filipino seaman while on a trip recently aboard KLM to Germany to visit Michael’s folks who live in Wuppertal (beside her was Michael of course), but it’s the conversation with this particular Pinoy seaman that triggered me to write again on the state of things, the level of our consciousness as Filipinos, although not all are evolving at the same pace, just like other races, at the same time that of the world as a collective.

Again, I will categorize Filipinos as working on a level of consciousness that applies as a general rule, although when we speak, Filipinos are not only governed by unqualified, absolute, direct or explicit theories, born of logic which constitutes only 10 percent of the human brain, they are also governed by Intuitive faculties which comprise the 90 percent of the brain. That doesn't mean, however, that they know it, the schools don't teach the divinity of the mind, and many don’t know yet the formula of how to make the quantum leap, by utilizing their Intuitive faculties, except perhaps the ones who may misuse these energies in the form of witchcraft or in the dialect, kulam, to hurt their enemies. The Pinoys' higher level of consciousness, comparatively speaking, may be attributed to their being descended from the Lemurians of ancient times who are higher eternal Beings which is confirmed astrologically by the presence of Sun conjunct the higher octaves Pluto, and Neptune in the Phils. independence chart, indicating The I AM Presence is truly felt in their soul, again at greater or lesser degrees, and surrounds them as indicated by the "Mystical Rectangle" in the national chart.

Foreign tourists are stunned at the way Filipinos go religiously wild in the fervor of their devotion to the Black Nazarene for example when taken out for a long walk from the Quiapo Church to Manila's Luneta Park,on his fiesta. People come out en masse, seemingly millions of them, all of them devotees claiming they have been "healed" by the Nazarene or saved from grave mishap at some point in their lives, or granted favors; anyway, the massive volume of their bodies can knock down or bulldoze huge objects along their way. Or foreign visitors can hear the powerful,resounding cries of a sea of humanity --"Viva la Virgen, Viva!" in Bicolandia during Mother Mary's river festivalin Naga. Positive Neptune and Pluto are the highest vibrating planets in our solar system with the Sun, and with these planetary higher octaves in alignment in Gemini, sign of the Twins (symbolic of the duality of good and evil. Mutable, the Pinoy is a potential super being who is also being diminished spiritually by suffering from emotional instability, due to a Gemini 'split' in consciousness.

Mutable signs like Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces, are highly adaptable to change (positive), but in that sense, also remarkably unstable (negative). Mutable signs are meant to balance the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio,Aquarius)from rigidity, while the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn)work to release one from stagnancy by moving them to act and to transform. In short, the function of Duality (right and wrong) is to challenge us to be creative, to be a co-creator of the Creator and transcend the limitations of our third dimensional reality, in order to ascend to higher dimensions, and to be More.

Magically enough, Oneness is achieved when a Pinoy goes abroad to work among masters who can be lacking in love and light in consciousness, because they demand a perfect job. When Bernadette wrote me how clean and organized the surroundings that greet her in Germany every time she visits with Michael, I asked, “But are they kind?” I was reminded instantly by her that this is the place of her parents-in-law, and she considers their kindness and hospitality laudable, and in truth, they are, I agree. I was not referring to them. So I wrote her back: It’s my flawed divinity that allows me to express in generalities in order to categorize, because to be scholarly (ahem) is to be anchored in logic, any variation of concepts is cast within a scheme of divisions from which all knowledge can be classified:
If Germans can be so clean and so organized, they can also be strict and unkind to those people who are not, subconsciously following the Kantian categorical imperative that one’s behavior should be governed by principles which one would have as the behavior of other people. Immanuel Kant is a German philosopher who has highly influenced German thought.

Trouble to logic comes when the Pinoy enters the picture, because he defies logic which he sees as a mental construct that seems to lack Love and Light. When confronted with a challenging situation they usually tend to respond with their Intuition, as they usually “see” you with kindness in their hearts, even if you are disorganized and untidy or have made a mistake. This can be a disadvantage to Pinoys who are naive and don’t have the ability to discern good from ill, in that they can get victimized by the dark ones. So the lesson here is one of discernment. Having Sun-Pluto-Neptune in Gemini, sign of the twins (symbolic of good and evil), Pinoys instantly understand your demand for cleanliness and organization if you are the employer.

Because of Pluto in Gemini, they are able to adjust to your passion for orderliness if you are the boss. This is so, because they are inclined to work with Plutonian passion, and Neptunian compassion (may pagmalasakit)*at the same time and become an instant success in the eyes of authorities (Sun). In this way they see the wisdom of being so clean and organized in their surroundings to please their God, then their bosses (Uranus retrograde quincunx Mars handle of the Yod), as well as themselves. "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" that is a paradigm they know, and thus, they too love to travel and live in lovely, divinely-inspired, harmonious conditions where they can feel the I Am Presence more exquisitely. Retrograde planets make a person remember his ancient past lives that had sparks of the divine Flame. Pinoys are fiery people, especially the women, because their Moon which rules women, is in Aries, a Fire sign with Aries leading the parade of the zodiac. When their men retreat because of dread of the unknown, and would rather stay home, the Filipino women take over and leave for these unknown distant lands, leaving their kids to lola, and show their fire.

GREAT ENERGIES IN WORK OVERSEAS

Itching for future and distant horizons not yet within his reach (Uranus retrograde in Sagittarius), the Pinoy keeps aspiring for all that is symbolic of whatever is beyond mundane things in life. S/he needs constant new stimulation to satisfy the very active thirst for life that keeps driving him/her on. Abroad, his planets in Sagittarius enable him to transcend his Gemini inner-split between industry and laziness, easier than when he is at home in the native land. Because in economically advanced countries people love to be surrounded by beauty and glamour the sustainability of such a lifestyle they can well afford along with their desire to renew to advance further into high technology. But when the Universe takes it away from them the Filipino would probably remain the last man standing.

Somehow Filipinos are able to translate into action the wisdom of the East in a refreshing manner while they are in the West, giving value to the inner Self in an age that is preoccupied with material success and the outer world. What the Pinoy does (his outer work) is so often perceived as more important than who he is (his inner self) by people in countries where s/he works. It appears that the natives of this country stand to gain more financially if they work overseas. Great energies are provided for Filipinos if they work overseas having a Yod or a “Finger of God” planetary formation that looks like a big "Y" set inside a "Mystical Rectangle" indicating a Garden of Eden with four walls, forming a rectangular design that resembles the Philippine flag (see it to believe).

A shift in values is starting to show in the countries where they work, as more and more people get infected by the virus of internalized spirituality that our Filipino workers abroad unconsciously evoke in the consciousness of their employers. Cosmically speaking, all is consciousness. When Filipinos overseas, in the Middle East specifically, are linked to our foreign brothers not by chance but by dharma or duty (see the Yod or Finger of God planetary configuration in the Philippine astral chart) they instinctively act in any way that is in harmony with the laws of nature that pervades all things, and when they do they are actually assisting the growth of their evolving brothers throughout the world, especially in the oil-rich Middle East, at the same time that their foreign brothers assist them to advance in the material realm. Thus, in the universal scheme of give-and-take, we are all prospered.

Overseas, the native is generally known to work so hard that the Pinoy tends to surprise even himself. He seems to function with great drive and originality as though trying to prove something to himself and others – that brown can even be superior to any color.

The Pinoy tends to excel in his job abroad, but he must not lean toward those who seem totally in command of themselves (foreign employers) especially when they make unreasonable demands. This is shown by the quincunxes to the planets in the Yod which are indicative of a working individual who is on a higher vibration level in consciousness but has to lower himself down to “adjust” as it were to the lower consciousness of his bosses, not that we are judging. The Filipino workers overseas, female and male, often act as though they were expected to do more than anyone else. They must learn to distinguish responsibility from abuse.

The Pinoy is highly adaptable and will change his opinions because he is not possessive of ideas, due to his Retrograde Uranus in 12th house of a mystical, hidden life. As a result he/she does not try to constantly harmonize disharmonious thoughts. He has a great ability to let the Universe be, so that in return it will afford him the inner freedom he needs. While his changing values may seem at times to be quite eccentric, he is nevertheless unrestricted by the format of tradition which keeps most of society bound in its own chains. Still, the Pinoy has to live in modern society, and healthy aspects to Saturn coming from the Moon in Aries in 4th house of home, enable him to put his Uranian awareness into a practical interplay between his inner knowledge and the world around him.

It is through the hard lessons of Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius, the cosmic principle of duty and reward, that Filipinos are taught how to mold their character in order to live in the world of material form. Saturn happens to be posited in Sagittarius, the sign of foreign countries, or the universe. With Pluto opposition Saturn in the national chart, the teaching can sometimes lead to emotional stress or physical violence. However, the teaching process is not one-sided. The roles of teacher and student may alternate. For example, a keenly perceptive Japanese college professor has been reported to recommend an additional course into the curriculum in Japan that involves a trip to the Philippines for Japanese students--“for the purpose of learning how to live again.”

Thus, the negative effect of the depressing clash between good and evil is minimized when you see the Pinoy smiling and greeting you, in spite of everything he sees as inimical to his state of wellbeing. Somehow, there’s a sacred Intention born of his feeling of being indebted to his God, of owing a good job to his God (Saturn Retrograde in 12th house). The Pinoy manages to transcend his difficulties in accomplishing his mission overseas, and this converts into a powerful vibrating Light that has likely seeped into the flow of oil from the petroleum wells in the Middle East to affect the Arabs at this time of the Shift in consciousness to a greater or lesser degree. The burden of course, to attain their genuine Freedom, will be shouldered by the natives of Egypt, Libya, Bahrain, and Yemen, and those who may follow their heroic example.


In many instances, the Pinoy, especially the female seems to grow younger as she ages in linear time, because if s/he doesn’t seem to age it’s because the illusion of time and space has been lifted off them. Ask the foreigners who are quick to sense this unusual state of the Pinoy’s age. In line with his youthful image, s/he eventually learns how to make light of things that used to be a burden to him. By and large, he does try to be fair in his inner appraisal of people, especially if he has transcended the illusion of time and space, finding himself at home in any place of the world (space is an illusion) doing all that he knew he should have done when he was younger (time is an illusion). The evolved Pinoy is an eternal being in the Now.

Soon, with Ascension in process, the Muslims and the Christians will embrace for “When the Lord is pleased with a man’s ways, even his enemies will be at peace with him.” Proverbs: 16, 7. And there will be no more religious divide, as Humanity is under One God, and is free.
