EYJAFJALLAJOKULL

I am taking this article titled EYJAFJALLAJOKUL out of the archive of my weblog "Forest of Stars" for the purpose of doing a revised edition of sorts of a certain political-cultural issue of the people in Philippines to review the immediate past 2010 to see a clearer view of the dynamics of a very troubled 2011, and on to 2012 golden age, and beyond which are all rolled into One – the eternal Now. The eruption of the Icelandic volcano is symbolic of the mysteries that we cannot understand about the world's turbulent political upheavals at this time of the Shift.

It also means that we are no longer just in Chronus time (linear) but have entered the Chiros time of no time -- eternity. Because we have entered the 9th Wave of the Universal underworld of the Mayan Calendar (see a previous blog titled, "The Ninth Wave" )We are now aware, unless we are not, that we are all eternal beings. Ultimately, we will no longer get sick of cancer or grow wrinkled and aged or die, unless we declare an intention to do so. Such is the power of Thought if we are Ascended. That means we have become co-creators of the Creator. We have become responsible children of God. We have to remain as little children, meaning, we instinctively enhance our inner child whose sense of awe and wonder is so vibrant, he has no time to worry about the outcome, he just trusts, and this qualifies the inner child in you to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. In a previous posting I’d like to refer you to the possibilities where the Ascension process can lead us – see “Children of the Dream,” April 19, 2011, in this weblog about the emerging generation of New Humans.

THE ENERGY OF BEING

When we are in meditation or removed in some way from our day-to-day life, we can connect with our inner stillness -- the Essence of who we are -- and allow it to permeate our Energy field. Once we mix the husband, children, job, and life in general, says Cathy Brennan, an internationally known coach, healer and consultant on Energy System, we become attached to outcomes, circumstances, and ways of doing -- we get disconnected from the Energy of Being. In day-to-day life routines, busyness and 'shoulds' how do we keep the connection to our Essence? Let's talk about a birth chart of someone we all know.

This article is not only about Gloria Macapagal, it’s also about us, the Filipino people in general, Filipinos as an evolving racial group of people in Asia, because GMA serves as our archetype. If we become open-minded, and forget we are Yellow for instance, we learn truths about us that we haven’t probably dreamed of hearing before by insisting on sticking to our worn-out beliefs, paradigms and prejudices. We have built wider and wider freeways thanks to the previous regime of the past nine years, and our viewpoints have become narrower and narrower... Perhaps because we read too little, watch TV too often, pray too seldom... We have conquered outer space but not inner space… Thus we are admonished to go more into our ‘inner space’ by a colorful video using “Hong Kong” as a backdrop that's making the rounds in the Internet.

A MYSTERY IN OUR MIDST

To explain Gloria Macapagal's mystery, let’s look at her birth chart-- April 5, 1947, at 11:42:49 AM, San Juan, Philippines. It shows her Sun in Aries conjunct Midheaven in opposition to Moon conjunct Neptune in Libra, 4th house of lands and roots of the soul. Mars ruler of Aries is conjunct Mercury both in Pisces in her 9th house of the Higher Mind and foreign travels in flowing, favorable trines to Jupiter Retrograde in Scorpio, 5th house of creativity, trine Saturn semisquare Uranus, Sun sextile Uranus. I'd like to focus on her Jupiter Retrograde in Scorpio for us to see how we can connect to Essence, or to the God within us...

Retrograde planets induce regression back to former lives whose memories carry strongly into the present incarnation. The individual does not come forward in time sequence along with the rest of the chart. Instead he or she keeps trying to resolve the earlier circumstances in another lifetime which appear to be unfinished, or not worked out to the personal satisfaction of the lower self. This refers to a past incarnation wherein she was also a leader in another time and space. Because it's Jupiter Retrograde, planet of great luck, higher mind and planet of the masters, GMA must be able to justify herself to herself in order to feel that she is truly worthy of respect and honor that Jupiter promises. While seeming an image of softness and quiet, she draws perpetually upon glass with a diamond -- William B Yeats,1966.

The exquisite image of Moon Phase 14 in GMA's destiny pattern serves our purpose in communicating the contrasting gentle reserve and acute power which co-exist in her to equip her for the battles she will face. This lunar phase is the last before the full moon, and so it is very balanced. The native reveres herself with the same religious awe as natives of opposite Moon phase 28, and when in-phase, the native of 14 faithfully follows her own law of being down to the smallest detail, realizing that she is the surest expression of the total, unfragmented Self.

Mars ruler of Aries combined with the Sun, the native who is GMA suggests a life wholly oriented toward immediate self-expression. That's how Aries operate as a leader of the Zodiac, she is at the head of the Zodiac parade, but because the hologram forms a circle that cycles, all the signs are leaders. But if GMA expects the people to listen to the expression of her inner truths, and assumes that her insights are obvious and that everyone else can see what she sees, she will be isolated from those who could help and therefore become ineffective. This comes from Pluto in positive trines to her Sun and Midheaven. Pluto makes her a subtle reformer, signifying she is here to help us advance in soul evolution but she respects your free will, she does not explain. Thus, Scorpio people who are ruled by Pluto are often secretive, they do not explain what they know, inwardly. They would prefer that you seek out the answers to your own questions. That way they respect your intelligence. Filipinos are perceived by others (foreigners who are discerning) to have depth with Pluto and Neptune conjunct Philippine Sun in Gemini, though not well aspected, and that's where the trouble begins. Filipinos are forced to learn the hard way if they lack discernment or good judgment.

While in phase of 14, the native leads a charmed life, since she has no concern for self-gain but every concern for self-expression for its own sake, she appears to want nothing. Yet before long, her Moon conjunct Neptune Retrograde opposition Sun when hit by untoward events dissolves her sense of reality, leaving her prey to confusion and doubt.

Neptune (ruler of Pisces) is usually one of the most difficult planetary influencs to handle. It causes life to become confusing and unclear, and under its influence Filipinos who are strongly Neptunian in nature often believe what is not true. If you repeat a lie for example about a person one hundred times the lie becomes true, and GMA could be a victim of vilification from her critics, and the press because she does not always present herself to others as clearly and as straightforwardly as she can. If you leave people in any doubt about your intentions on any matter they will have a reason to misunderstand you and are likely to work against you because misunderstanding easily turns to fear and mistrust. Neptune often has an ego-denying influence which may dissolve or threaten whatever Saturn builds, such as your ego, your sense of duty and responsibility making you feel lost, confused or defeated.

But this afflicted Neptune-Moon opposition Sun has an effect that can also make you feel exhilarated or in love with all things beautiful and at one with the entire universe. It depends really on your level of consciousness. Or it can lead you to perform great acts of selflessness in rendering service to country which could be seen by her aides and by the groups of people who assisted GMA in her work. Fortunately for her Mars is in favorable trine to Jupiter Retrograde and her Jupiter is trine Saturn supported by the excellent Moon Phase 14, and with Mars on 25 degrees Pisces which is about how King David slew the giant with a slingshot, she triumphs over the unfairness or meanness of her afflicted Neptunian enemies by being a feminine King David.

Jupiter is the planet of the masters. It's rare to see a Jupiter Retrograde well aspected in birth charts and I am speaking from my own long experience in my study of astrology. Jupiter Retrograde, when favorably linked to other planets, speaks of an ancient soul most likely an Adept who has returned to earth, carrying a backpack loaded with ancient wisdom and gifts of abundance for the purpose of transforming the lives of a people and a nation. This is reinforced by her Pluto trine Sun, trine Midheaven in the 2nd house of values. Because of her Plutonian positive energies, she feels that her work could transform the whole nature of her presidential career. People are drawn to her fascinated by her energy and power.

The nature of Pluto is similar to that of the Hindu god Shiva, that creates and destroys, as Pluto rules those energies inside you that lead inexorably to change. With Pluto conjunct Sun in the Philippine chart GMA's presidency may signify a time for a full-scale reconstruction of government institutions. However, the danger of a Moon-Neptune conjunct opposition Midheaven in her chart will tend to cause something to happen that will make it very difficult for her to contine in that direction.

Having Neptune Retrograde in Libra she has a great deal of difficulty having to deal with the harshness of life (Moon-Neptune involved in a Grand Cross with Midheaven, Ascendant, 4th,and 6th houses) to which she is overly open. In order to balance herself (Moon in Libra) she makes the mistake that she must balance all that is around her. This makes her tend to be interested in other people's business more than is actually good for her. She should understand that each new grain of sand she adds to Libra's scales as a balanced solution to what is already there creates still another imbalance demanding a new solution. With this Moon-Neptune retrograde configuration GMA can be frustrated in trying to center the world around her that she may have developed a spine-neck imbalance and over the years she may have ignored this discomfort and this kept her from recognizing that her own personal problems with the people she governs come from social-political problems which need no solution.

Jupiter on 27 degrees Scorpio Retrograde in Macapagal’s chart makes her a living truth unto herself. Her ideas of right and wrong, the morality of the world she travels in, and the fairness of other people’s opinions has little effect on what she feels inside. In a powerful attempt to be righteous, this person develops her own unique set of standards, usually coming from past personal experiences early in her life as well as from other incarnations and do not necessarily reflect the mass consciousness of the Philippines, as much as they do her own privately formed conception of the universe.

In her State Of The Nation Addresses she clearly and powerfully elucidated her vision of a new Philippines adequately developed to compete with the tigers of Asia, winning her standing ovations from a highly appreciative Congress.

Always a student of the mind, GMA seeks to experience an abundant richness within herself which she hopes will eventually equal the possibilities that are available to her in the outer world (see lower paragraph, "Inner Treasure"). Often this causes her much discontent, manifesting itself as inner restlessness. Over the years we see tremendous activity in her work as chief executive personally supervising various infrastructure projects to ensure they follow world-class procedures all over the country of 7,100 islands and this has resulted in a critical nerve-spine-neck injury in her retirement period requiring a very delicate surgery. Much more stress can no longer be allowed at this time in 2011 by her doctors if she still choose to work as a congresswoman after becoming a President of the Republic...

History will be kinder to her, and as Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, at one time, said, history will see her as one of the better presidents, if not the best the country ever had.

Unimpressed by hero-worship, or even the confessions of love, she is prepared to drop everything at once if a vision or feeling directs her elsewhere. As a result of her fidelity to purpose, she projects her ideas upon her people so strongly that others come to identify her will with their own deeper desires. Like they'd wish to see their country get out of its backward state of doing things to become one of the splendid tigers of Asia. It wouldn't be unusual either, for GMA to live her entire life without her expanding influence. But time will bear full witness to her excellence (Moon Phase 14), even posthumously.

With this Jupiter retrograde position she has great wisdom, amounting almost to prophetic ability. Quiet, unless spoken to, she can in a few words sum up the essence of her most important identifiable characteristics. If poorly aspected, the Jupiter Retrograde can cause her to hold grudges from past incarnations expressed in a desire to get even, reprojected onto new people in the present who make life for her miserable. Fortunately, she is an exception rather than the rule for the Retrograde Jupiter, symbol of divine munificence, affords her to see herself through her higher mind. This is an act of a master soul who would work to transcend difficulties or to rise above appearances to reach a higher level of consciousness to teach us.

When she does this, some of her personal involvement gives way to a higher and more impersonal understanding. The development of richness in her inner being ultimately takes precedence over a desire to acquire riches in the outer world. In the event she is faced with a plunder case, it will be difficult for the prosecution to find enough evidence to pin her down as having enriched herself, unless they make it up themselves.

She is endowed with a gentle way of getting things done, it says here. She has ambition and sense of duty, great courage and great dangers to face. Great dangers to face? So her political detractors have been prophesied in ages past to emerge at this time. This is apparently designed to prevent her from succeeding in her mission to raise her country out of the morass of past decades of material disadvantage to join the economically advantaged community of nations in Asia in record time. Charter change is needed to accomplish this daunting task for change and she advocates for an amendment of constitution but the Opposition digs its heels not to allow it. The presidential system must remain to keep the dynasties of powerful families in the country alive so it seems. But it also appears that in the midst of difficulties she is divinely protected as indicated by her Moon Phase 14, a lunar phase that is very balanced when things are confused and imbalanced and that empowers her to surmount big challenges.

She has a deep rooted sense of responsibility that's why and a greater prestige over others than logically purported by the social position, this comes from a zodiac degree of her destiny pattern. “Others are unlikely to acknowledge they are under the spell of such a prestige which, may become very great indeed,” a powerful zodiac degree in her destiny pattern says. And her destiny echoes the country's destiny at the time she's in charge. “Others will be unwilling to acknowledge such a prestige,” and that is a mandated destiny from the universe, again. Small wonder, she has been denied appreciation and praise for what she has worked hard on in the span of nine and a half years as history will testify. GMA must have signed a sacred contract before she came down that this was going to be a very challenging journey, and yet she must not fight for herself while she works to uplift others. It appears that she is on a very high Initiational path. If you are into serious esoteric studies you will be raised on a higher level of vibrational frequencies to make you understand what is usually hard to comprehend by the average person --– the subject on Initiations and Avatars…

GMA may be avataric in the sense that her life is one of Service and yet she is indifferent to adulation or praise … She is most misunderstood and most unappreciated for she is obviously playing the role of a sinner on earth yet with the perplexing signs of a master, a saint. Actually there are many higher consciousness planes called the Heavens with their corresponding Underworlds, As Above, so Below, as depicted in the Mayan Calendar. The reality of Heaven on Earth is being accelerated and understood by the World's Mind during the Shift, aided by Climate Change. It covers the process of our growing awareness of how evolution works. For one thing, GMA does not respond to ethically damaging opinions to defend herself. Most politicians do a great job of defending themselves, of claiming innocence when accused of having violated certain rules of the land.

Hitherto she has been clobbered with charges of having phoned Garcillano a COMELEC official in Mindanao into helping her win (Garci vehemently refuses to admit and to toe the line of the now powerful political elite that seems bent on winning their case) and ordering soldiers to testify to have done a massive task of switching ballot boxes in order for her to win. What happened to our intelligent Filipino voters? Or to the Comelec? Ang galing pa naman ng mga Pinoys we always say… At this time of the Shift, well-known world rulers like the brilliant Barack Obama may be a big object of dissatisfaction to the American people because of his failure to prevent the economic collapse of the US, a former superpower.

Shifty fortunes have long been predicted as humanity moves toward the year 2012, because the goal of Ascension is to chip away the monolithic structures of wealth and power elite built for centuries that resulted in great imbalances between the rich and poor as we know them. For instance, if the rich countries of Europe were only fair and aboveboard by not exploiting the poor peoples of Africa in the past centuries, these black people, who are now suffering from famine and heavily disturbed by wars, would have been better educated and made more secure in material wealth than otherwise. Because the lands of Africa yield the richest mines of mineral resources consisting of diamonds, gold, and what-have-you that glitters and mesmerizes humans in this divinely-blessed planet.

The goal of Ascension is to achieve Balance on earth so peace, harmony and beauty of spirit can reign in the next golden age of two thousand years. The Shift is about this miracle coming true.

We forget, says our international coach on Energy System, that we can experience the external without becoming it. Again, we can experience the external circumstance without becoming it. I can sense GMA experiencing dirty politics without becoming it, under a well aspected Retrograde Jupiter in Scorpio. I heard from reliable source she would stay long on her knees, in fervent prayer forgetting the time, her aides are already tired praying behind her back. And she would have prayer warriors in the palace to hold long sessions for healing the collective Fiipino psyche. Two of them were friends, members of our study group who have ceased coming to our talk sessions to serve as prayer warriors in Malacanang.


We become attached to outcomes, circumstances, and old ways of doing. When we become attached to our old ways of doing things, thinking of old paradigms at this time of the global Paradigm Shift, we limit the possibilities and narrow the field of vision. We suffer from mediocrity by staying “inside the box.” By that I mean we exclude other possiblities. It’s similar to the time in the dark Medieval Age when Copernicus declared the earth is not the center of the universe, and there are other universes. Galileo of Italy, who later on extended the Copernican heliocentric theory of the earth, was put under house arrest by the Inquisition of the Church until the day he died.

There is an old parable about God in His relationship to humans floating around that goes something like this. There is a great flood and a man prays to God be saved from certain death; a row boat comes by but the man says, “No, I am waiting for God.” same thing happens with a rescue boat. And then a helicopter. The man drowns and when he gets to the pearly gates asks, “God why didn’t You rescue me?” God replies, I sent a row boat, a rescue boat, and a helicopter –- what else did you want?”

When we step into the Energy of being, we open the door to all possibilities that we may never have dreamed of. When we are in the energy of being, we are tuned in to the Essence of who we are. This essence does not have the constraints of limiting beliefs, religions, attachments, or preconceived roles to play. Expressing the essence of who you are is a powerful and inspiring act, one that has a vibratory ripple effect. Will you add your vibrational ripple frequency to the improvement of the human race particularly to your own root race?

A LABYRINTH – A great riddle

Gloria M gets the 7 degrees Capricorn in her destiny pattern with the symbol of the Sphinx – a Labyrinth. She's a riddle unto herself. Will the native be its maker or its victim? Or both at the same time? Will the riddle be of a material, intellectual or spiritual nature? Will there be political intrigues? The Sphinx asks, and certain Filipinos in politics answer-- Oh yes, plenty!! A woman, the native would be a crack at the game of meeting suitors symbolic of political rivals or enemies, exasperating the jealousy of male vanity which refuses to accept a female (a small, cute one like that say the Japanese when she comes to Japan for an official visit) can be better than them in handling problems of the state. And there is curiosity at each turn as she is being trounced off her seat riding a highly spirited horse from year to year of her term, with an array of political enemies charging her with wave after wave of impeachment charges in Congress which they probably think is a behavior enhancing their public image. How the typical Filipino develops his ability to discern between the forces of Light and Dark during elections is demonstrated here.


She is whimsical but sparkling with wit (listen to her State of Nation Address as she lays down her plans for making this country a first-world kind and she gets many standing ovations from a highly appreciative Congress), she does not concern herself about political rivals or other people, by criticizing other Presidents on what they have done or haven’t done before her, her politics is apparently on a higher, nobler, more impersonal level. She is scheming but frolicsome. She smiles when she should be feeling low because of being bullied by her male detractors and critics. Again, she is not here to defend herself says her astrological chart. She leads a charmed life, says her Moon Phase no.14, and sure enough she survives all the political intrigues heaped upon her. Moon Phase 14 --14 in numerology equates as 1 plus 4 equals 5 -- 5 is balance, and speaks of Love and Light -- the 5th dimension of the angelic realm. February 14 is Valentine's day, remember?


Many a man will fall into her snares says the destiny picture of 7 degrees Capricorn which keeps us on the same baffling line. Mythologically, the Sphinx is known to watch the secrets of the physical world or the threshold of the worlds beyond. President Gloria must know the secrets of the riddles of the Sphinx as she’s given this degree of the Labyrinth to demonstrate her mettle in surviving great difficulties. It also serves to test the astrologer’s mettle in divining this enormously difficult plan of God for her to undertake in the governance of the Philippines at this crucial time of the Shift when the old structures of government are collapsing to give way to new forms of government. GMA decided to continue her crusade for change by continuing to serve her country in a less prestigious capacity as a congresswoman advocating Charter change, something no one in memory has done in the Philippines. Her detractors see this as a death knell to them who hang on for dear life in preserving, propagating the old ways of doing low evolution politics. Legal or illegal, they'd use anything like a Truth Commission to hang her just to bar her from pursuing her Plutonian goal for change. All over the world this conflict within governments is happening. Because Pluto, representing the god Shiva, is at work during the Shift now as a creator and destroyer, and GMA's Pluto is in positive flowing trines to Sun and Midheaven.


We call upon We the People to awaken to the realization that our current problems are caused by a perversion of the power of the Father (patriarchy) and a suppression of the love of Mother (matriarchy). Understand that the Shift is about the Shift from patriarchy to matriarchy. To achieve a Balance between the gender polarity is the goal since Patriarchy has been ruling the earth for centuries and is known to have ravaged the ecosystem by man’s greed, caused wars, conflicts that have routinely damaged the planet. Our denial of the mystic feminine side in us Filipinos is seen in the way we treat Mother Earth as an object to be used and abused. Corruption comes from this maltreatment of the Mother on many levels by our government officials, mostly the male of the species. Mother Earth is not perceived as a living, nourishing maternal entity, and a woman president like GMA is mandated by destiny to work to embody the perception of Mother Earth as a living, nourishing maternal entity to flourish at this time.


MARY MAGDALENE AT CHRIST’S FEET

Planet Lilith or Black Moon conjuncts Part of Fortune in GMA’s April 5 chart indicates a difficult role in this incarnation of integrating Light and Dark elements at this time of the Shift. Lilith is Dark. Part of Fortune is Light, joy, and abundance. How to balance the contrasting Dark and Light elements in our given social-political culture that is more patriarchy dominant than maternal is indeed a tall order for anyone to have as an assignment from Above. But she comes to us fully equipped –-see my previous blog titled –
“She Draws upon Glass with a Diamond," April 11, 2010


On 7 degrees Capricorn, the Black Moon shows that Love is the keynote here. We see a symbolic image of Mary Magdalene at Christ’s feet in her natal chart, referring to the new age of Aquarius’ notion that the male is not necessarily a superhuman being which Patriarchy wants us to believe, and that Magdalene is a female repentant sinner, after having harlotized her, which patriarchy-dominated religions of the globe want us to believe.

As purported by Jupiter Retrograde in Scorpio, GMA brings into this life memories of struggling for honor and as she lives out her Karma she becomes a test for other people in this area where she tries to project what she believes to be the truth to others in the area of politics. Again, she becomes a test to others in the area of dirty politics wherein she is accused of having dirtied herself. Thus she can project what she superficially believes to be adequately complete while at the same time knowing that she is experiencing a deeper understanding on another level. Now we are confronted with levels, as there are different levels of understanding Spirit and Matter.

Medyo masalimuot ito, meaning things are very confused and contrived,and we don’t know if this can be made clearer when you have to go into a deeper level of perceiving a profound inner truth. You simply have to stretch your brain beyond your skull or to go beyond the limits of reason and logic to take it more by instinct or intuition than what is purported by the usual brainy people’s mental boxes obtaining in the local culture. How should we explore the unknown and often repressed feminine element in our soul if we haven't developed an adequate awareness that we are, first, a soul occupying a human body?

INNER TREASURE, another mystery

Chiron the wounded healer in the 4th house of GMA's birthchart is on 7 degrees Scorpio. It may refer to the native’s precious gifts, as well as to something outward that destiny has in store for our country as a surprise (?) In this latter sense the symbol may not be taken literally. It is definitely metaphorical in meaning, as parables are intended to reveal truths through metaphors. As usual, things are to be looked at within the frame of the whole astrological picture. “Inner treasure” may be taken to mean wealth of ideas or other forces of the mind as we take into account all aspects of planets and houses with Moon Phase 14 wrapping it up in this blog to quiet down all queries about her mystery. A material treasure may be collected as a result of commercial dealings as performed in a long series of fruitful research journeys as chief of state. She may be singled out by destiny to be spiritually and technologically, the leader of an entire people which she already is, using the historic present.

Apart from all this, we may add that the native is a tireless worker, and her aides can attest to her inexhaustible energies that she is liable to show some childlike features even in adult age. I mentioned that earlier, at the same time there is something royal about her, and her fortunes hold something and illogical at that – in store for her country, if the people of her country had more wisdom than plain worldly pragmatism expressed as alertness on how to jump ahead of each other in capturing positions of power at election time? The recent computerization of elections reduced if not obliterated completely the possibility of transparency in checking out the election results of 2010. Computer experts know how machines can be rigged, and the US have ceased to use them, as whistle-blowers hiding behind masks have attested right after the polls of 2010. We the natives of this country have some karmic mysteries in our path in front of which the average mind feels thoroughly puzzled. I leave that here, and move on.

The notion of Magdalene as a sinner and the male as a super being is an error in judgment that is being corrected here at this crucial time of the Shift. This mission to transform her people from a lower kind of politics to a higher level causes GMA to bring out the worst and the best in herself as she deals with dirty, vicious politics and the myriad things she has to do for her country – building, maintaining a world-class infrastructure for the world to see and improve on for her people in the sense of understanding the interconnectedness of all things. This causes her to be a peculiar paradox for she is alternately understood and misunderstood, respected and degraded, loved and despised for all she represents to other people. Her life is one of transformation as each day symbolizes new opportunities for struggle which enables her to rise above the lower self which she now sees, but which still binds her in the current life as she is here to represent the Filipino archetype. So her people can transcend or emerge out of it through this interplay of DARK and LIGHT forces.

SUN CONJUNCT PLUTO-NEPTUNE, THE FILIPINO EXTREMIST

For Filipinos are much the extremist (Sun conjunct Pluto conjunct Neptune in the Philippine chart of June 12, they stand for heaven (Neptune) and hell (Pluto) at the same time. Extremism in the Filipino archetype which I have analyzed in our book,The Filipino and the World goes this way:

The Filipino wants more of whatever he has with Gemini-Sagittarius polarity holding sway over his soul reinforced by a Sagittarius Ascendant. If it’s food he wants, he can be a glutton, look at all the busy restaurants night and day in the metropolis while everybody is declared poor, even below the poverty line as reported by the media and blaming it on GMA, lol. If it’s power he strives to be a dictator. If it’s philosophy, he can’t sleep till he has read all the books. If it’s universal love, he will serve humanity and seek martyrdom.

Many Filipinos have yet to learn the difference between need and greed. On any level, in political elective positions these people are not to be bound, as she is, and they must have this freedom to explore the unknown reaches of the universe that keeps calling the Filipino to explore, as she has.

She is the Filipino archetype, yet we who are in a position to know better, would understand more than that. Archetypes are only used as a gate into the inner meaning of the Force of Spirit that empowers the matter that embodies it in order to evolve.

On another level, judgment is now upon those who will not let go of the false image that women are responsible for the Fall, and thus deserved to be suppressed in the home and society. We pray to the Alpha and Omega and we affirm God’s judgment upon those in a male body who will not take responsibility for their own past choices and acknowledge that each person fell during the Fall because of his or her own decisions, and not because Adam ate the Forbidden Fruit which Eve gave prodded by the Snake, And men would seem to glorify their lower-self egos over the notion that Eve was taken by God out of Adam’s rib.

We call upon all people to awaken to the realization that the Only possible way to avoid widespread chaos especially violence against women and children at home and outside is through an integration of the masculine and feminine elements in all people and society. Under President Gloria many havens were built around the country to house abused children and women run by the Department of Social Welfare and Development. I have recently visited one in Malabanan, Pampanga with a group of friends led by the wife of the Philippine National Police commander of Camp Olivas, our good, cheery friend, Celia Cacdac, bringing carts of food and personal supplies for the young inmates at the foothills of Mt. Arayat. T'was her daughter Michella's idea of celebrating her birthday party.

So Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo tries to balance all that is around her, and must work hard to make this physical country as comfortable and as lovely and quiet and orderly a place to live in just like the advanced countries she often visits to hold international conferences on climate change, etc. Libra is beauty, harmony and balance, on her 4th house, she may see it towards the end of her life, or her successor would take it up where she left off. But first her people have to be transformed in consciousness with her help as leader by showing how Light works through the Dark shadows to attain balance and wholeness.


COMMENTS -- from Toronto, Canada -- 29 Aug. 2011
wow, georgie, ur messages are fully packed with inner truths and mysteries unfolding...i would say one would need to read it in a higher state of consciousness to fully appreciate it, or in a quantum physics way i guess -- because it's so much multi-dimensional -- then again i guess it would strike people in different ways depending on each person's sacred state or karmic state. I wonder how this would impact or touch other Filipinos here in Canada or US, or other culturally diverse people living here...then again as is my mission, i will try to pass on the messages. Love and Light, maricel alberto

WHAT TO DO WHILE EARTH SHIFTS -- MEDITATE

Master Kirael a skywalker-guest from the 7th dimension, greets you : Hopefully, this session on Earthquakes will change the way you view earthquakes. The Earth plane is in a volatile period, as it is closing in on the Great Shift in Consciousness -- I am the touch of angelic light, once embraced in my robes of light, a new tone is struck. The new harmonic octave has arrived. I am the skywalker who has come to Earth, I reveal the sweet power of the simplicity of love as I awaken in you the resonance of heaven you have yearned for.

KIRAEL: The Earth is in a shifting mode, so expect stronger, more focused earthquakes than you’ve experienced in the past. Some lightworkers will be caught in these tremors and they must remain calm and stay away from anything that can fall upon them. You say, “That makes sense, Kirael, Why would you tell us that? It’s common sense.” Well, it might make sense to you now as you’re sitting in your home and office, because your Earth is not shaking, but if it suddenly started shaking, what would you do? You will have a mere 90seconds to decide what to do. Meditate.Why meditate?

Earth is a sensient being, like you, it has a 4-bodyprocess -- spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. Earth humans vibrate at the same rate as Mother Earth. That's the only way you could be here, and stay alive. So, when Mother Earth's bodies are out of alignment, yours are as well. When the Earth shakes, cleansing takes place on the physical plane first. Mother Earth's physical body takes a beating from humans who pollute her waters (attention oil offshore drillers!, cut down her forests, and create and engage in wars (attention: superpower-conscious countries!), etc. She shakes to cleanse herself of that killing-energy. When the body of Mother Earth shakes and is moved an inch, or even a quarter of an inch, it has a profound effect on all the bodies. When Earth shakes, its emotional body is its driving force.

Since you vibrate to the rhythm of the Earth, it is logical that when Mother Earth changes, you must change. Although as a spiritualist you may not have that much negativity such as hate, pride, greed,if you do not change with Mother Earth, you will struggle, because you are out of alignment with her. Your emotional body which is just outside your physical body, is the most important journey here, because that's where the love is. Repeat: that's where the love is. Thus, a daily practice of meditation on love and light will get your emotional body centered when Mother Earth's emotional body is active. Note: Kirael will tell you how to meditate on a flame of a candle later in this blog.

I'd like to make an addition to Kirael's message with a short narration. Actually, we are spiritualists which means: we are not just prone to be religious in terms of going to church on Sundays and holidays, and then forget about spirituality the rest of the week. I am reminded at this point by a book 'Magical Moments with Canada Geese'by Creighton Forester Seely, Ph.D. He happens to be the late husband of a dear friend Nora Pangalo Seely from Cebu, who lives now in Staten island, New York. I can sense that Creighton knows a sacred truth about the universe as he writes in the company of the awakened great writers of all time who subscribe to the ancient belief that Love is a state of being, it is not outside, it is deep within you. You can never lose it, and it cannot leave you. It is not dependent on some other body of some external form. He goes: Everything, a bird, a tree, even a simple stone, and certainly a human being is ultimately unknowable. It is because a human has unfathomable depth in terms of his driving emotional force. Look up, and see the image of a big mother bird up on a tree, holding her young tight under her wings, doesn't it move you to think how great it feels to have love in your heart?

It is because it has unfathomable depth too, being a mother, and you will know what I mean when a guy like Creighton Forester Seely writes words made into sounds and endearing sights of his recollection of the Meduxnekeng Stream, west of Woodstock, in Canada, back in his youth where almost every Sunday he would walk two miles with a friend, to the site of a former power dam where a mountain stood. He had not yet met my friend Nora then whom he married later up in the said mountain bringing with them a judge who climbed that same forested area to officiate the rites. Rather high-minded romantic, don't you think? He would walk two miles with a friend to the site of a former power dam, during much
of Sept-Oct to observe a small flock of Canada geese, as they rested on a calm and shallow backwater to the right of a short stretch of white water. One can get excited, he writes, by experiencing the view from there and sense what he remembers "the fragrance wafting in the crisp autumn breeze, the sunlight sparkling on the water below. I can still see the brilliant foliage. As soon as our heads appeared over the horizon, the flock would rise from the water and head west following the valley until they disappeared from view." There is something "mystical" about these Sunday trips to watch the magical Canada geese flying in a magical V formation coming from a great distance that I could sense. It's not a religious feeling, as in a fascination with church's rituals on Sunday if one is a Catholic or Jewish, but as an unfathomable feeling of communing with Nature.

For the last eleven years (11 is a symbolic number of transmuting duality that exists in the human mind into Unity consciousness)I have wrestled with the most perplexing question: What is the pattern that connects? What connects the crab nebula in the sky with the genes of the Canada geese on earth or the genes with Creighton's body? What pattern connects the crab to the lobster and the orchid to the gummamela and all four of them to me? And to you? The crucial connection is made between our moral behavior and our love of Mother Nature.

When you are spiritual you become a still pool of essence. Emphasis on still pool of essence. When you are present, breathe deeply and open your heart, then listen from that place. The universe is based on the spiraling inbreath and outbreath of giving and receiving. So you meditate on breathing in/breathing out. When you truly receive, you open yourself up to accelerated evolution. When you enter that circuit of infinite photonic energy in meditation you truly understand that there is only Love. So give Love and Light to all the Earth when it is confronted with its own tragic mistakes -- oil spills, hate, envy, greed resulting in wars before, now of bloody revolutions in the Middle East. Because when the gift comes from ego,caused by pride or vindictiveness, it is limited by expectations and conditions. If I do this do I get richer or more powerful than others or be defeated by them? God’s love is unconditional. But you have to earn it. So meditate in calmness, and no expectations. Just trust.

Love is all that is, and by completing the circuit of giving and receiving (breathe- in and breathe- out in meditation) on the physical plane you form an infinite loop that continually expands into new octaves of expression on other planes. You attract the law of abundance of these higher planes. The earth shifts and shakes as it rises to a higher realm but it does not harm you. For the circuit of Love nourishes and protects you (Again, look up and see the mother bird's love that protectively embraces her fledglings). The number for you and this splendid mother bird is One. Number One represents the chalice of the infinite, ever-existing, indivisible Essence. It represents the undivided primal waters, the primal sound of creation. So take care of the oceans, do not pollute the waters of creation. Or we’ll get collective negative karma.

Meditate on love and light and the color for you is burgundy, the color of the blood of life. Burgundy represents the love, trust and nurturance found in the engendering soil of the Earth. An ancient chant and meditation for this color is “The blood of the ancients that runs through our veins… times pass but the circle of life remains.” If you wish to explore or access this powerful energy further, visualize the color burgundy. From the other planes Kirael feels you are needed for the Shift, so be prepared if you’re in one of those areas that is quake- prone, so to speak. Ninety-eight percent of you listening to me (or reading this) will never experience earthquakes, however, if you’re in the 2 percent who will remember to keep your wits about you. I told you in a prior session that you have ninety 90 seconds

TO CHANGE THE ENERGY OF FEAR INTO LOVE.

My take in this is that if you are in a meditators’ mode – then you are constantly sending forth Love and Light, Love and Light, Love and Light to all and sundry, even in Facebook or Twitter, or more sedately, in ending your e-mails, notes, and whatever. NOTE: let your thoughts remain within you, not expressed orally lest you be misunderstood. Love here is not about sex, but about universal peaceful feelings for humanity and all that is living-- in short, Reverence for Life.
Light comes through the open portals of Reverence for Life. You hear of people getting into violent ethnic wars and you focus on them Love and Light to dissolve the negative energies of hate, anger, vindictiveness, non-forgiveness, judgmentalism, a holier-than-thou arrogance that churn up continual strifes between peoples of different beliefs, ideologies, such as the Palestinians and the Israelis over Gaza, the Turks raiding the Kurds in the mountainous border between Iraq and Turkey. But lately, the Kyrghystans were making peace with the Uzbeks, the Turks were quiet again about the Kurds because you have been meditating on Love and Light or your own close relationships are no longer in turmoil...and as you get that message of calmness to your brain daily it would come in just naturally during an earthquake, and you will be in control of Nature.

KIRAEL continues: If you meditated regularly and knew that you could control your environment, you could collectively control the water when a tsunami is headed your way after an earthquake, by going to the ocean of your mind and easing the waves out, moving them back by talking to them. If all the people in that tsunami in Indonesia practiced meditation and had embraced their power, they could have turned around and said, "No more, no more, break down, break down," and they might have gotten wet, but they could have prevented the destruction that was caused. Earthquakes cleanse the Earth.

KIRAEL goes on. Mother Earth cleanses herself by shifting and shaking off negativity from within people’s heart, and simultaneously ridding herself of the young souls that inhabit her and increase her negativity. Too many people populate the Earth plane. Earth was made to hold about four billion people. Yet she is inhabited by seven billion, that’s almost double her capacity. Earthquakes are Mother Earth’s way of cleansing herself of young souls who burden her with their energy. The younger souls who may be occupying old bodies don’t care about spirituality. So she sends them home. They won’t survive these earthquakes because they are not supposed to. They will get out of this Earth plane, go to another plane to be free to do this 3rd dimensional journey again. I am not saying that a spiritualist can’t die in one of these quakes, because you can if you’re not practicing your spirituality.

It seems some of us are now talking to the wind and the rain by saying, lessen the pressure, lessen the force, and feel the awesome wonder of the gentleness of Mother Nature when relating with us. Notice we have not had fierceful typhoons in recent years? Mother Nature merely mirrors back what we send out. We are now being crafted to be gentler, more loving, more holy (meaning "whole" all 4 bodies aligned with the Divine to recover our lost divinity) in our sleep, notice the change as we ascend to higher planes?

Scientists will tell you that earthquakes occur when Mother Earth releases tension in her upper crust and mantle. Moreover, our own local scholars schooled in using scientific instruments have made documentaries projecting the dangerous criss-cross of faultlines in this island archipelago as we are situated in the Pacific Ring of Fire. Yet you have to ask what causes the tension? That tension as Kirael says is caused by the negativity built up by the actions of human population, especially young souls. In this case, “young” does not refer to the young of physical age but may just be the reversed, the old among us in the age brackets of 60- 80 or beyond. They may be the so-called young souls who resist studying about spirituality. They don’t care studying about the esoteric views of life, content in being stuck in the old paradigms that know nothing else but to work hard as insurance against coming hospitalization bills to extend life while in fear of approaching old age. If they go into the New Earth consciousness, they will be forever young.


To make meditation more palatable to you, perhaps it should be called something other than meditation. Go to your higher self and tell it that you don’t want to be stuck in your 10 percent brain of logic and reason. You want to go to your 90 percent brain of higher faculties of Intuition where you can transcend physical limitations and co-create with the Creator. You will feel your strength build up, You become a healer. Healing the Earth you can do through meditation daily. Half an hour, then increase to one hour daily, or make it a walking meditation. Others who are sensitive will see you infused with auric light. You become a new human of the New Earth.

I am the skywalker who has come to Earth, you can say this too along with the angelHow to meditate? Start by practicing with a candle. Light a candle, bend your head to the right and watch the flame turn with you. Then go back to the center, stop, and then go to the left and watch the flame turn left with you, and say "I am meditating.I am meditating" Tip your head a little bit ands watch the flame go with you. How does that happen? It happens because you’re a spiritualist and have the power to move the flame. If you can’t make the flame follow you, don’t give up. Keep practicing until you do it.

FOR ALL OF YOU who are present, I reveal the sweet power of the simplicity of love as I awaken in you the resonance of heaven you have yearned for. Comment: Turn the volume down on your left brain that worries incessantly about money and success and turn on the right brain that ceases to worry about these things by developing a childlike trust in the divine goodness of the Creator while you continue to cooperate with its providential grace by doing your job well. The Great Shift is coming, so this cleansing is most empowering.

When these earthquakes are happening, what does Mother Earth feel?

KIRAEL: She feels the purity of them. She doesn’t have a third-dimensional body, so her feelings are of cleansing. She might rattle you with her shaking, but it’s cleansing for her. She can’t get all the younger souls out of here at the same time, but she can get groups of them out and send them home to their monad or soul family. Two or three hundred thousand souls returning home is a drop in the bucket of the monad energy, because those are no longer dense. They go home as spirits. What can you do to lessen the impact of these earthquakes?

KIRAEL: Regain your alignment with the Earth. Raise your energy through meditation. As spiritualists, you should be able to control everything in your environment, but you are in your mind too much, so you believe you have little or no control. You haven’t been able to turn these weather patterns around, because you think they’re too big for you to handle, emphasis on think. You’re not strong enough spiritually. but if you meditate often and sustain it, preferably in groups, you should be able to control your environment.

SHIFTING TO HIGHER OR LOWER VIBRATIONS?

(Part 1 of 2 parts)

Starry eyed idealists are not very useful when there is much hard work to be done in our world today. The Shift from lower to higher vibrations can be very tricky, and I find this a delicate issue to discuss at this time when we are preoccupied with fantasies or ideas that help us escape the ordinary in hopes of impressing people of one’s becoming extraordinary or better than others. If we are engaged in a lofty campaign to clean up governmental institutions in a past regime for instance, our grasp of what we can do and cannot do with our own current work in government is being tested. This is a necessary step on the spiritual path, and even political leaders have to be spiritual (otherwise this country will sink into more floods,and mudslides) but getting a fixation on being a righteous reformist can easily become a blind alley.

The Ascended Masters have something to say on the hard issue regarding conscious and subconscious intentions. When you truly understand and accept free will, you see that it is never justified or necessary to judge or criticize or expose others. State your case in court but do not indulge in petty, baseless accusations. For at higher levels of governance, you can only truly help others through your example, not by forcefully seeking to reform them.

You can be so strong as a leader that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, see happiness and prosperity in every person you meet. To think only of the best, to work for the best and yet to be detached from the outcome. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too strong for fear, and yet to be calm in the presence of trouble. Difficult? To be a true leader you need to say YES to all these, and see the Miracle happen amidst the chaos, pain and turmoil of this time of the Shift.

There is tendency to be critical and judgmental that happens to many Filipinos because this is a Gemini Sun country. Gemini is the sign of the Twins, representing the duality of Dark and Light forces. A sign of the communicative lower mind, Gemini, when taken alone without its polarity Sagittarius the sign of the philosophical and optimistic higher mind that serves to balance it inclines the Gemini native to be a chatterbox and dangerously self-serving, and petty. Unless a typical Gemini Filipino is well educated, meaning he never graduates from reading and studying after college, he can display shades of mediocrity even if he believes he is walking on the daang matuwid That’s why a good continuing education is of paramount importance to Filipinos, since the Sun in Gemini’s vices (dark) and virtues (light) are all in one piece.

If he spreads himself too thin, he risks being shallow or mababaw. He needs to beware of stereotyped ways of thinking, because he is apt to be high-strung to leave his thoughts hanging in midair and believe things as complete even when data or evidence is lacking. Thus, he fails to plumb the depths, after having been depleted by fluttering hither and yonder searching for closures of cases he keeps starting without going to the high courts to prove his allegations as it takes years for the courts to work on them, particularly protested election results. His weakest point is a lack of warmth for despite his/her vivacity the typical Gemini person is basically unemotional.

Having arrived at the conclusion that the universe has use even for pain, he may forget to feel how bad it feels to be hurt. With exceptions of course – Pluto and Neptune in Gemini conjunct Sun, if well aspected in the Philippine chart of June 12, 1896, can be indicative of genius or an advance state of evolution for our elected government officials on all levels, because Neptune and Pluto are universal energies for higher evolution. But the Midheaven, highest point of honor of the Philippine chart is not well aspected, it is afflicted, or negatively linked to the above mentioned higher octave planets. Which indicates that on higher levels our elective officials are likely to be lacking in wholeness or integrity. Unless contradicted by other positive influences in the Philippine chart, an afflicted Midheaven by Neptune (symbol of God’s purity or Pure Essence) could mean there can be inefficiency, and irresponsibility on the job, dishonesty or deception. An afflicted Midheaven by Pluto, unless mitigated by other positive influences, can mean dictatorial tendencies on the part of the one ruling the republic.

But not to go into judgmentalism again and worry about faulty political and educational systems obtaining in the country since the whole of humanity at this critical time of the Shift is suffering from the same raging conflicts within governments, within institutions, within corporations, within marriages or families as chaos, pain and turmoil (see the Middle East uprisings) may be necessary to get humankind initiated to a higher form of life, at this time of the Shift in consciousness. Or we will never leave our comfort zone and never attain the magical joys awaiting us in the higher vibrational realms of consciousness beyond this unhappy, warring and whoring Third dimension. Why consciousness? For the kingdom of God is within us. We need to transcend all these lower world, violent-prone conflicts and ascend to the higher realms in consciousness of truth, trust, compassion, and forebearance.

If you look into your own individual astrological chart and find that you have a well-aspected Neptune or Pluto, rejoice! Chances are, you would feel calm and an inner peace suffuses you even in the face of strife and confusion as you go about your daily chores or pause to go into deep meditation and silence. Instead of getting jittery and seeing nothing but negativity you are positive, and pleased with your surroundings, thankful daily to God and happy to be part of life. Some inner mechanism in you is saying that you may have become egoless, detached from the world’s economic woes like what happens now when the US is deadlocked in debt, will the rest of us follow suit? And do I need to look handsomer or more impressive than others by deglamourizing others or by refusing even a grudging modicum of credit where credit is due probably for fear of our lack of achievement? A more sensitive entity is likely to glean a gleam of auric light coming from your diamond-faceted soul. This may result from your constant prayer and meditation and yes, modesty. Instead of dismay, you may have a sense of compassion for erratic, fumbling humanity because in that case you are not alone. All are our brothers and sisters, all are imperfect, all are in the same boat in this journey, regardless of who we are.

As one editorial I read in a daily newspaper recently said: the President in his zeal to filter out corruption deployed wang wang as a metaphor for everything that is wrong with Philippine society in his sona. “Wang wang” symbolizes for him the abuse of high position and corruption that have bred chaos in the country’s streets. The government’s failure to address the ills plaguing the public transport sector these days is rooted partly in the President’s reluctance to do away with members of the KKKK– kapamilya, kaibigan, kachismisan, kabarilan, who have set the course of their assigned agency along daang matuwid. This has to do with the private sector the editorial hinted. If you need a translation for all the words in italics here, ask a Pinoy in the street who knows.

So charged is the typical Pinoy with a proneness for trivia and gossip that we need to understand what makes him such a chatterbox among themselves, on the air or on TV, because our local media seems to encourage the mass consciousness not to get out of the box, and to remain ordinary by indulging in a lot of chismis or hearsay. If you need a translation, ask an ordinary Pinoy who’s acutely changeable or surprisingly discerning. He would say things are dependent on the weather. “Kasi weder weder lang yan.”

Metaphorically, the typical Filipino means the weather depends upon who is in power. We may quote the philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson, a native of this sign of Gemini, the Twins, in his attitude toward people who accuse him of being changeable. “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.” A witty lawyer of the Opposition says: “What do they think of Filipinos, anchovies with small minds?” I like that positive assessment about us Pinoys. Also, we might quote a famous Gemini poet, Walt Whitman, who said, “Do I contradict myself? Very well, I contradict myself. I am large. I contain multitudes.”

Now you can understand why we Gemini Pinoys have the capacity to attract a multitude of lower spirits or demons despite our religious fervor. If we experience intermittent storms coming one after the other, bringing continuous rains, killer floods and landslides and some tremors in-between shaking up many parts of the country these days it is likely to remind us that our frequencies have been dropping. It is a considerably critical time of the Shift. To say the year 2011 is not easy is an understatement.

Here’s Jesus Christ speaking: Let us say you are unaware that there are dark forces of anger, pride, hate, jealousy, envy, sloth clobbering your subconscious mind, manifesting your intentions as not pure, in spite of your conscious vision of pure intentions to do good. This can indeed be very subtle (meaning hard to detect), and an impure intention can often be camouflaged as a pure intention. Christ Jesus explains this human quandary in his discourse on Pure/Impure Intentions (see the very large website –askrealjesus.com) because we have asked the question – Master, why do we still communicate with lower spirits or demons when our conscious mind is preoccupied with communicating only with higher vibrational holy angelic beings?

Again, the case is that there is a difference between your conscious will and your subconscious vision and will. What does it mean to have pure intentions? You can easily think, Master Jesus says, you have only pure intentions but in your subconscious vision mind you have intentions that are not pure.

Let us give an example: most religious, spiritual and political movements you find people who are very critical and judgmental to others. You will recall 2,000 years ago. I said. “judge not, that you not be judged.” So this problem has always existed.

SELF-ESTEEM ISSUE:

The psychological mechanism, Jesus continues, is that there is a certain stage of the spiritual path where you have awakened to the need to reform your actions, and you have recognized that you have not always been perfect.

For example: some Christian churches talk about recognizing that you are a sinner and that you need redemption. This is a necessary step on the spiritual path, but it can easily become a blind alley. It represents a somewhat precarious period, in which a person has recognized its own imperfections and thus has a self-esteem issue. It now becomes very easy for the ego and lower spirits to make people accept the subconscious belief that if only they follow certain lower outer rules, then they will be saved. And this almost inevitably causes people to become critical and judgmental towards those who are not members of their church or those who are not members of their political team and do not follow the rules (Aside: See the story of the Norway Massacre of recent days). Their egos think they can elevate themselves by pulling down others, by way of trial by publicity.

Once this happens, Christ Jesus affirms, people have a subconscious belief that they are not being judgmental, that they are simply helping to reform other people for their own good. This is the basis for the old saying: “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” There are innumerable versions of people believing that it is necessary or justified that they criticize or expose other people—all for some greater good. Yet when you truly understand and accept free will, you see that it is never justified or necessary to judge or criticize or expose others. You have a right to state what you believe. And at higher levels of the path you realize that you can only truly help others through your good example, not by forcefully seeking to reform them. Besides, we owe it to our soul growth not to look back, but always to look forward.

So the point of Jesus Christ is that far too many religious and spiritual people who are also in political positions of power, have been fooled by their egos into thinking that they will further their own salvation or spiritual growth by focusing their attention on others (instead of looking at the beam in their own eyes). These are obviously people who have not been willing to take responsibility for themselves. And once you believe – consciously or subconsciously-- that you can be saved without taking responsibility for yourself, you will be unprotected from the myriad of lower spirits or demons who affirm this belief.

So no amount of spiritual protection will seal you from these lower spirits, because you are subconsciously saying that what Archangel Michael and all his Angels do is not to interfere but to respect your free will.

A MAJOR ISSUE – Why are a multitude of lower spirits allowed to tempt or attack people?

JESUS: Everything revolves around free will. If you truly accept the concept of free will you must accept that you and you alone are responsible for your choices. Yet at a certain level of the path, it is very difficult to accept full responsibility for their choices. This is partly caused by a multitude of dark forces who have created a very subtle culture or mindset that has associated guilt with the exercise of free will. And when people believe some choices are mistakes and that God will condemn you for making mistakes it becomes difficult to accept full responsibility for your choices. It is much more comfortable if there were some external circumstances that “forced” you to make those choices. And as I said, another major problem is that so many spiritual people have made it an art form to justify being critical of others instead of looking at themselves.
The basic mechanism is this: Your conscious mind hears what your subconscious mind wants to hear.

And no matter, Jesus continues to say, what you want to hear, there is a spirit who will tell you exactly what you need in order to feel that you are right. These spirits often parade as ascended masters, or even God so that people can feel they have the highest possible justification for doing what they want to do. Sometimes we must allow our students to listen to us on certain issues, and listen to lower spirits at other times. Yet this can be allowed only for a time, then people must choose whom they will serve.

Jesus: As long as people have not taken responsibility for themselves, they look for an external authority to justify their actions and beliefs. This is allowed with the help of lower spirits that can create justification for any belief they hold, or have felt some external authority has validated their beliefs. This causes people to suspend critical thinking when it comes to a certain political leader who explains why some people completely refuse to see their leader’s or guru’s unresolved psychology or problems of the leader’s behavior. Just look at the New Age community or at a political camp and see how many people have this idolatry of a certain leader or guru even when the leader or guru has blatantly misused his or her power. And Jesus continues: This is why they can be critical of others while being completely blind to the fact that their critical state of consciousness is also a violation of God’s laws.

This explains the spread of Nazism, and Communism, as well as the existence of a multitude of lower spirits. (Aside: A more recent example of this type of the extreme right’s behavior is the Norway massacre that has left the world weeping) This is an extremely dangerous illusion, and I discourage any ascended master student from indulging in it.

Jesus Christ tells us furthermore, that there are 144 levels possible on Earth for developing consciousness. There are certain spirits that will give you exactly what seems to justify the illusion that represents your current level. It is when you no longer believe in the spirits associated with a given level of consciousness that you can move on to the next level. You might say that what I gave up on the Cross was the ghost or spirit that represented a certain level, so I could rise to the next level and enter the Resurrection spiral.





Part 2 -- THE WANG WANG SONA : WHERE CREDIT IS DUE

Above is the title of an Opinion column by Ricardo Saludo, from the Manila Times, Aug.1, 2011. Herein are some excerpts.

Yes, it was a stirring speech delivered clearly and powerfully the message that things are far better and finally going right in the Aquino administration (RS refers to the Sona of July 25, 2011) – until one paused to credit a bit of common sense and expert knowledge. To give credit where credit is due – the economy’s continued albeit slower expansion and the decline in joblessness and hunger owe much to the GDP (government development program) growth momentum built over nine and a half years (referring to the past Macapagal-Arroyo administration).

Part of that momentum is the massive yearly infrastructure program which spurred industry, tourism, and agriculture by efficiently linking producers to markets and travelers to destinations. (then, the author makes a scholarly assessment of growth and gains made particularly in agriculture called “Fields”) As for credit ratings, Standard and Poors, Moodys, Fitch and Japan Credit Rating Agency will agree that the upgrades in the past year would not have happened without the fiscal reforms of 2005 and the economy’s resilience during the 2008-2009 global downturn. After all, the mark for long-term credit worthiness which requires an evaluation period certainly longer than one year of the Aquino administration. So we applaud the Arroyo government for its economic and fiscal management especially the halving of national debt to just over 50% of the GDP in 2009, from its 2000 level exceeding GDP (that’s partly why then Sec Margarito Teves was named Asia’s top finance minister)…

People wonder whether Aquino’s constant harping on past ills could be intended to make his regime look like a huge improvement despite its failings and fumbling in the past year. (Aside) I recall the gravity of the miserable Massacre of Hostage-taking of a Tourist Bus of HongKong tourists last year, which could have been prevented if only it were properly handled. This comes from another serious study on the matter. In fact other prominent first- world countries joined in to assess PNoy’s lack of action on the said tragedy.

Many have speculated why the President (PNoy) is unrelenting in attacking Arroyo, hardly giving even the most grudging praise and lacing his every speech with graft insinuations… And had he given credit where it was also due, that would have been not only magnanimous but also honest.
