PAGLILINIS AT PAGHAHAYUMA-- OR WHAT HAPPENED IN PILA

If the Philippines is named Pilipinas, the translation given by the wise is that these islands are blest with people who are piling-pili, in other words, chosen. My trip to Pila, Laguna as a guest invited to give a talk on what the stars proclaim about the true identity of the Filipino in my previous posting here – “A Letter to Filipinos” by David Harwell, an American international correspondent, attests to an amazing similarity of views -- that of the Master Guide of the Filipinos called Mother Victoria de Piedad who lived in Pila for a time, and that of the astrological chart of June 12, 1898, Declaration of Independence of the Filipino people from the oppressive colonial rule of Spain of three hundred years.

Eckhart Tolle reminds us: you cannot fight ego and win, just as you cannot fight the darkness. The light of consciousness is all that is necessary. You are the light, despite your male ego. In this posting, I invite you to be that light. I was not given a preview of Mother Victoria’s story of her life as a Light-bringer to our country before I went to Pila for the Bromoki’s 33rd Congress to give a talk on the Philippine national chart. I was indeed amazed to find out my Philippine chart analysis and the views of Mother Victoria on the Filipino people would simply jive with each other’s vibrational matrices, deriving from matriarchy the form of social organization in which the mother is recognized as the head of the family or tribe, descent and kinship being traced through the mother instead of the father, a government of women. The Divine Feminine has returned. She is emerging in Pila, Laguna, right here in the Philippines of your birth. .

“Bromoki” (Universal Brotherhood of Mother’s Kids) is the Pila mystical group’s name. The term “kids” jolted me for it triggered a reflection on the current down spiral of our people. Mother Victoria may be addressing those of us who are old enough to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of life, but too young in spirit to understand the deeper truths of life, the Universe. Or perhaps addressing Pinoys as “kids” is simply a mother’s expression of endearment. Or both. Obviously, I was not appraised about the nature of this occurrence in Pila so as probably not to be influenced by pre-views or to pre-judge the natives there in what I might consider as the manifestation of their superstitious beliefs. If I have to shed light on the Victoria Piedad mythology I should be ready to be independent in my intuitive assessment of her vision on the Filipinos without assistance from anyone who knew what happened in Pila. This was in the mid-1980’s.

This year 2013 may feel and look to you different from other years, and that is because there is more light streaming in -- this year – it is more prevalent and pervasive according to American astrologer Elizabeth Jones who advocates for Astrology of Light. I can see with her and other foreign astrologers cited with her. There is greater light available to us now that we have crossed over the threshold of 2012 into this time post-2012 going 2013 as this light will have a distinct impact on the events that are going to take place. Things will become transparent. What was unseen, will now be revealed like the sudden, unexpected wikileaks of embassy secrets, the expose on the Vatican’s hidden moralistic troubles of priests spread throughout the planet accumulated in decades past that allegedly caused the resignation of a deeply mystical Pope Benedict XVI other than a valid plea to retire for age and health reasons. Now we have computer hackers with war on their mind that threatens to disrupt communication lines between individuals or between groups of business-political-government institutions. Here’s another revelation that may stun some staid, orthodox, conservative religious Roman Catholics, particularly the Church hierarchy and its clergy, because what is quoted here has no imprimatur or ecclesiastical stamp pad from the bishops, although some local bishops have befriended Mother Victoria at that time, it is reported..

This is an evolving planet as most of you would say, orbiting around the Sun of our  solar system, residing in a fairly large galaxy, the Milky Way consisting of about 200 billion stars, with a central bulge at its core, and an all encompassing halo.  Try to take cognizance of the milky substance of the Milky Way galaxy, as it looks from the vastness of cosmos, and its bulge at the core which is highly suggestive of a mother’s bulge in pregnancy, her deep concern for her children’s nutrition after birthing them, thus, the galaxy's name "Milky Way" pertaining to mother's milk -- their growth in spiritual-material maturity, taking the righteous path for the sake of his God.

Reading the Philippine birthchart, you see all the good features of an artist (human sympathy, sensitivity, sense of universal suffering) as well as the evil ones (wanton untidiness, unfitness for the struggle of life) may have fallen to the native’s lot. His/her personal horoscope can only answer the questions whether one’s God-given gifts will find expression and materialize, or stay potential, whether the native is to reach the peak of genius or to grovel in the lowlands of modest craftsmanship. His is rather a precious and refined, rather than a mighty and rugged talent, the blight of mannerism (pakitang tao) or hypocrisy is dangerously near/ A life interwoven with roamings, disappointments and sufferings. But this kind of Journey is necessary to find the Filipino soul.

Mother Victoria de Piedad has left us with a pile of messages, notifications of teachings she left behind after several years of an active mission here, centered in Pila, and then probably moved on to other areas as a spirit guide. Listen to her as she speaks -- “Try hard to be unified I will not give further miracles. Achievements will be enough to touch people’s hearts. Don’t lose that hairline of hope. It is still creating very fine vibrations.” Feb. 15, 1988.

She speaks of vibrations, frequencies, scientific jargon, you may not usually associate with the less educated indigenous folks in the rural areas. She speaks of the Garden of Eden as located in these islands of the Philippines, and such a claim is verifiable in the Katipunan’s Declaration of Independence chart of June 12, 1898, at 5:01 p.m. Kawit, Cavite. Cosmically vibrating with powerfully high galactic energies such as those of Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, the Philippines would naturally magnetize periodic spirit-visitations as claimed by the indigenous tribal people in the sacred mountain of Banahaw, and other parts of the country. Such claims that we Filipinos were Lemurians before may be translated as We are the ancient souls we have been waiting for thru the centuries. Now, this is what happened in Pila, Laguna, located in the foot hills of Banahaw, where the spiritistas claim as the New Jerusalem.

More research work should be undertaken by mystically-inclined writers in the esoteric field of this country to reinforce the following revelations. On Jan. 3, 1988, she said: I value most…the value of acceptance – acceptance to which one is destined – for the reversible powers of God cannot be contested by the frailties of human minds. The more intelligent your mind is the less you’ll know about the mystery I hold.

Here are Excerpts from Mother‘s Messages – through her chosen medium, Dr Paul Domingo at his residence in Caloocan.

"My spirit is vast, not limited only to one body. I am in you and you are in me (all in caps, in the original text) I AM IN YOU AND YOU IN ME. BROMOKI IS MOTHER. THE CHRIST IS THE MOTHER. IT IS ALSO THE FATHER AND THE CONCENTRATES, THE SPIRIT OF THE MOST HIGH, ALL IN ONE. Mother 01230-6-4, can be Father, Son or Holy Spirit. Mother is one with God like Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha or Victoria, Angels, Saints and the Blessed Virgin are but manifestations of a One Invincible God commonly referred to as God the Father. Tell the World I am the Truth, but no convincing, no preaching. All Religions are mine because you have only one God. Mother is international. She does not belong to any religious order or congregation here, or any part of the world. Note: as reported, she could change her visage, color, features in front of you to elucidate form as against formlessness or the wholeness of a deity.

"Si Mother ay isang bula na nag-aanyo ng sari-saring kulay. Sari-saring hugis, puede siyang maging ama o anak, Puede siyang maging isang paru-paro o isang maputing palaka na hindi niyo bibigyan pansin lalo na kung dadapo sa paa ninyo. The One Infinite God has no form but it can manifest in so many different forms. It so happened Victoria took responsibility of a group (she refers to Pila’s Bromoki). This is one of its forms. Your Mother is now the ethereal component of the woman aspect of God (July 26, 1986). Note: “Mother” she says here refers to the Blessed Virgin Mary and all her appellate titles by way of her many apparitions world-wide, including Kwan Yin, Isis, etc.

"I come here to save you, to give peace and unity to the whole world. Just confine yourselves to loving the Heavenly Father thru the Son Jesus/ Ang totoong kaisa-isang Dios ay nagmanifesto bilang tao. The Site of Eden is within the Philippines, that is why I am here. The new Jerusalem is the Philippines where the Blessed Trinity has incarnated. You see me a Filipina because I am here in the Philippines. If I am in America, I am American, if I am in Japan, I am Japanese, a Chinese when in China.

"I, the Master Guide, will tell you, the power of man is now on hand to receive messages of actual peace thru holy international reconciliations. Unless this is achieved, chaos of vaying intensities will arise. Death is but a transition. The real you – never dies though it leaves a shell and creates another development according to desire to cultivate a better man in reaching the level where you had been taken from."

Through her chosen medium, Dr.Paul Domingo, at his residence in Caloocan, she continues to communicate:

"Muli kong ipinaalaala sa bawa’t isa ang pagka-Dios sa inyong mga sarili upang lalong mapatingkad ang ilaw ng kabanalan. Ang pagsasagawa ng mga bagay na maka-Dios at kung ito ay maisapuso at diwa ay maging isa na bukal ng pag-unawa, pag-ibig at kapayapaan. Muli kong ipinapadala ang pagtikom nang bibig upang maiwasan ang mga salitang walang kabuluhan at ang pag-iwasan ng mga salitang walang kabuluhan at pag-iwas nang mga gawain na magpapalayo kayo sa bagin ng kaugnayan ninyo sa Dios na pinagbuhatan niyo bilang partes ng isang kabuuan. Ang kabanalan ay walang katapusan. Mayroon lagi itong pagsimula. Once again I am reminding the God in you so you can attain wisdom to find out that -- that flesh of yours is ordinary dust. Give it a value of Spirit blown into you from the main source of Eternal Life.

My observations regarding the Twelve Failures to Overcome, Five Virtues to Cultivate with Seven Tools for Refinement are mainly attuned to the typical Filipino’s bundle of energies -- weaknesses, having Sun in Gemini, indicating an ambivalent, talkative, gossipy, quick to jump to conclusions, or criticize, blame the fault on others, ostensibly cowardly, unprincipled to a degree, claiming freedom of expression in all things, as some mystical teachings clothed in wondrous metaphors would inspire, thus reducing him to become his own best enemy,  yet this is a potentially spiritually mature group of intellectually proud people with some difficulty in detaching from material wealth, over-driven business ventures that tend to collapse, and mental baggage, mostly work-related and international in scope. They have also in equal measure some astonishing inner strengths combined with strong religious feelings where, however, charity is not up to the level of hope, most times.

A supple and sharp mind, fond of prying, a polemical spirit. Hopes can be fulfilled as long as speed of execution does not lead to rash or reckless gestures. Money will be the standard of his behavior, the common denominator to which he will reduce all problems of his existence. This apparently disturbed anxiety syndrome comes from his inner balance that could drift into inner split, for all his lack of assertiveness in some, together with aggressiveness in others the native can hardly expect a free and independent position as he will have to put up playing second fiddle to somebody like a foreign boss, until this is reversed by the cycles of time, the planet Earth’s current entry into the Photon Belt of Light when things are reversed, and the Filipino finds himself leading others by becoming a role model, usually not in his country but out in the wide, wide world. Amazing grace! Perhaps owing to the care and guidance of a mother. Mother? This is the circuitous spiritual growth of these natives as found in the character and destiny pattern of the Filipino people’s Independence chart of June 12, 1898. Moreover, take note of the bi-lingual tendency of Mother Victoria de Piedad to lapse from Tagalog to English, or from Tagalog to Japanese, Cantonese, Spanish, another trait of the Gemini highly versatile, and communicative character.

GEMINI The Twins -- ROLE OF DUALITY

She’s indeed a Pinoy and does not hide the fact that she is a home-bred master of the guidance realm coming from the higher worlds, sent down to help a special group of humans who may have forgotten how to develop spiritually at a critical time when the view of human consciousness held by most scientists or highly technical minds today is that it is composed of digital information-data, of essentially IT nature where the intelligent Gemini Sun flanked by two major octave universal planets Neptune and Pluto, likes to shine. But with a difference. Pinoys are also Neptunian meaning highly psychic, capable of deep spirituality, listening to the beat of a distant drummer or a spinning melody in the sky while seeing a spectacular Manila Bay sunset, yet prone to deceive or be deceived and to be heroic and sacrifice self for others, so their families back home can live better lives, at the same time, ambivalent, easily adaptable to high-risk prone jobs overseas in spite of a compassionate soft-hearted nature. Plutonian, transformative with a  lot of self-contradictions that can defeat the typical Filipino but astonishingly enough, paradoxically enough, s/he survives, and seems instead to flourish along with a lot of illusions hanging on a hairline, sparking vibrations of hope to support her/him to move on amidst difficuties. Evidently, it is a very difficult journey.

It is similar to that of someone with partial but beneficial amnesia. That is, a person who has forgotten some key aspects about her/himself but who benefits through having forgotten it, even if temporarily. Not knowing what We, the Filipino people, individually as well as collectively understood about the purpose of our coming into incarnation I find an analogy to what Dr. Eben Alexander, a neurosurgeon, felt when he was reduced to a bacteria, having been mentally-oriented to accept a scientific, agnostic non-belief in a divine governance, though an Episcopalian Christian by baptism, now dying (in a coma for seven days as reported in his book, Proof of Heaven) and having no real center of consciousness.

Perplexed by what happened to him, Dr Eben Alexander asked -- was my experience a primitive brainstem program that evolved to ease terminal pain and suffering – possibly a remnant of “feigned-death” strategies used by lower mammals? There was quite simply no way that my experiences with their intensely sophisticated visual and aural levels, and high degree of perceived meaning, were the product of the reptilian portion of my brain. Was it a distorted recall of memories from deeper parts of my limbic system, the part of the brain that fuels emotional perceptions? Again, no – without a functioning neocortex the limbic system could not produce visions with the clarity and logic I experienced. In an experience (near death experience), Dr Alexandar temporarily died, went to heaven and was sent back to tell his story. We Filipinos can identify with the dark limbo, named Duality or lack of Wholeness he went through because we are very familiar with it.  Gemini the Twins, where the Sun of the Philippine chart rules. flanked by two powerful cosmic bodies of transformation --  Neptune and Pluto

The (false) suspicion that we can somehow be separated from God is the root of every form of anxiety in the universe, he says after surviving , and learning the cure for it – which he received partially within the Gateway (to heaven) and completely within the Core – was the knowledge that nothing can tear us from God, ever.

ROLE OF RELIGION

Religion may be the tool to use as a means to attaining the goal, as the Fili[pino struggles to override the separation between man and Source. But as a doctor of medicine, Eben Alexander, he didn’t know who or what he was, or even if I was. I was simply …there, a singular awareness in the midst of a soupy, dark, muddy nothingness/ Similarly, with a major in philosophy, a friend admits to believing in “nothingness” when he was confronted by Nietzche’s mind and other philosophic minds of similar godless or agnostic non-religious persuasions and then lost his way completely in passionate but transient love encounters with women, indulging in drinks, and drugs, till someone came along to rescue him to go back to God. He decided to get married to her, raise a family and now he is happily working in the vineyards of the Lord, helping others to save souls in the midst of real estate work and digital chaos.

Religion per se, is a system of belief, in Greek re-ligare, meaning to bind back, to bind together, or to be concerned, to pay heed to a divine or superhuman power or powers to be obeyed and worshipped as the creator and ruler of the universe, a belief in conduct and ritual, involving a code of ethics, values, to discipline the mind that tends to go wild preferring to experience freedom absolutely, similar to driving a fast car with no rules to impede its run on a freeway, absolutely, heedless of the danger of accidents or from the possibility of exploding into flames. Nothing in between, so it seems. Cyber activity has become a set of marvelous war games making schooling unattractive to kids. The police force, the angelic guidance realm must fly in, and bring the tablets of Ten Commandments plus two, for even freeways must have traffic rules to avoid a demolition rally of crashing vehicles hitting one on top of others, including a busload of school children on a tour. Philosophies about duality is divisive. Emptiness in us can be filled with the force of Spirt, forms are many, only to serve as a mirror of our emptiness. God is in us, God fills up our emptiness if we so choose, and God is enough.
