THE BOHOL EARTHQUAKE AND JUAN DELA CRUZ

When you look at the astrological event chart of the Bohol Earthquake of 7.2 magnitude on Oct 15, 2013, at 8:10, a.m., you will be somewhat jolted to see the pattern of the stars forming a Cross in a circle called a horoscope.  Thus, the name “Juan de la Cruz” an old Spanish alias for the Filipino psyche would somehow fit the Pinoy who carries his cross following after Christ.  The unschooled, generally suspected superstitious Pinoy seems to understand better his life as a Via Crucis, and has the ancient wisdom to be humble. He may  grumble about it sometimes by blaming his ancestors for the legacy of the cross, but when ancient wisdom seeps in his ancient subconscious he is reminded that living a simple life with simple joys make him closer to his Divine Source than being well-to-do and less compassionate to fellow-beings who are in need. Then, We, the collective Filipinos feel blessed a hundredfold for being The Way We Are. 

  At Lenten time in a traditional religious show of devotion to the Jesus Factor in his life, Filipinos in Pampanga are seen parading doing the flagellation in repentance for sins, and some three or four of them doing the crucifixion in Pampanga a province in Luzon island which the Catholic Church does not sanction but nonetheless these penitents must do it to carry out a panata or a vow to render infinite gratitude to Lord Jesus Christ for having healed them miraculously or saved them from disaster at some time in their lives.  If you attempt to ask any one of these individuals how their miracles unfolded you’d decide to just let the universe be --  since there’s not enough time to listen to each dramatic exploration of healing with that vast number of Filipinos swimming in a sea of troubles  that have twisted and turned into miracles.  

Similarly, you can’t begin to assume to comprehend the immensely powerful vibrating force that builds up to a quantum degree   

when a vastly massive masses of people coming from all over the country, carry chained to a rope the Black Nazarene’s carusa  in a procession out of the church to take Him for a walk from Quiapo to Luneta  in Manila, and back to Quiapo each time in January to celebrate his feast. As this walk of the Nazarene with the cross on his back proceeds incredible energies start to descend on you coming from invisible dimensions sounding like the tremors of wind and earth, intensifying thundering Plutonian sounds of hitting walls, doors…The mystical astrologer would see how the energies of  the Phl  chart’s Sun conjunct Pluto are actually convulsing the massive congregation of walkers, at the same time that its Sun conjunct Neptune converts the reality of being trampled underfoot by the heavy shuffling of enormous moving bodies into an assurance that all will be well.  Some fainting spells do happen along the way, yet no one dies, or gets dangerously ill because of such a mystical linking, I am especially referring to the case of the symbolic imitations of Christ’s crucifixion in Pampanga on Good Friday. 

Foreign observers coming from the medical corps, are simply stumped.  Where in the world would you find a similar dangerous Lenten exercise?  How many of the more educated, sophisticated urbanized Filipinos can uncannily surmise why the Filipino’s yearly Via Crucis observance has to undergo such apparently phenomenal acts.  No, we do not presume we can all be Juan de la Cruzes, but it’s all right perhaps to be called another St. John of the Cross (since the Spaniards have been deposed by the Americans, the language changes ) if we deserve a mass beautification of Filipinos by the Vatican J.   “Go to these islands where saints dwell?”  Pope Francis was heard to speak when asked when he will visit the Philippines.  If we are so favored by the Divine, why would an earthquake of 7.2 powerful magnitude hit and left devastated the Bohol-Cebu area in the Visayas region, crushing the well-loved churches of Loboc, Baclayon, Loon, on Oct 15, 2013 with thousands of aftershocks in more than a week?  Blame it on time or ages-old materials, yet you question how come they have withstood earlier earthquakes through the centuries?

POSTSCRIPT: this is an article that may be hard reading at first, but if you are patient and desirous enough to learn lessons in universal laws and wisdom you will emerge from the exercise a person with a new understanding of reality. You need courage to understand perhaps some unfamiliar terms expressed here to make your journey into a New World that Pope Francis said he now represents.  If it is God’s idea of a golden age for us to embrace in the new Age of Aquarius, it would mean a time of universal peace and harmony, reconciliation of opposing beliefs, abundance, natural healing that can encompass the heavenly realms of faith, trust, balance, peace and equality of all men and women.  

     Cosmic guides like SaLusa of Sirius, twin sun of our Sun has this to say, on March 30, 2011, and this is a series of galactic channelings through a medium: “There is so much that will change in 2012-2013, and your lifestyle will be much more rewarding, enjoyable and exceptionally pleasant.  Coming out of your present cycle of duality (good and evil) you will not carry karma forward, which is why it must be cleared before you can ascend.”  SaLusa who is a spirit guide is actually referring to our “karma” (sins, or weaknesses) which must be “cleared” before we can “ascend” to higher 4^th-5^th dimensions of the angelic realms.  Why do our churches, which are manifestations of our faith, be the ones to go?  Probably because the way we understand God’s plan for our ascension has to be tested by removing the historical churches in Bohol as to whether we can truly understand and live God's plan for us without relying on images. Just the same two images of the Blessed Mary Mother of God are seen intact, amidst the ruins, unscathed by the turbulence of earth tremors to show that we are not abandoned by our Holy Mary, Mother of Miracles.

.    

 SaLusa: “The conditions are therefore in part necessary for your souls to have the opportunity to do so.  If in your calm moments you think carefully about the present period in your life, you will almost certainly begin to sense the reasons why you are here.”  And this is particularly addressed to Filipinos, where the message is directed through a 7.2 magnitude earthquake that Philvocs equate to 32 atomic bombs. Being hit by powerful earthquakes, esoterically means, ignorance of the Laws of the universe, which translates to the Law of Balance, and that is represented by the cosmic Cross that appears in the Bohol earthquake chart (see figure above) sending the message -- that of avoiding extremes of temperament like wanting to be "super rich" at the expense of others, or being indifferent to those who suffer hunger and thirst and human injustice or abuses when you have acquired so much money that has been allegedly unaccounted for from PDAF and other huge funds received by government officials in past years.

The Cross has a new meaning for people of the present generation's forgetfulness -- our "amnesia" or veils placed over our minds, blocks held within our energy fields that kept us from our eternal divine truth that created the pain and suffering of the planet. We needed the big earthquake of Bohol on Oct. 15, 2013, to bring the memory of Jesus Christ hanging on the Cross saying in his last dying moments, "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do." This illumination should completely transform our lives now and way of "being" in the world of rapid healing and transformation through excessive vortices of calamities at this time. For Filipinos it opens us up to our souls' mission on Earth at this time, in a very special planetary alignment where humanity's next level of advancement would be offered.

 This special alignment is a cyclic event that occurs in a 26,000 year cycle where encodings from the Sun will help us activate our memory's dormant strands of DNA and encourage us to spiritually evolve beyond our current state of consciousness into a more enlightened way of Being. Your God- Self lives in a higher octave within our being...as Jesus says: "The kingdom of God is within you." Through the free will of the soul, the soul can choose to attain a direct relationship with the God-Self by healing the energetic distortions that block the soul from attaining Oneness with the God- Self by raising its vibrational frequencies.  From the book:  'Raise Your Vibrations' by Sabrina.                    

SaluSa: “You should intuitively pick up on your weaknesses, and that will help you clear them a lot more easily. Do not be afraid to admit to yourself what they are, as that is the first step towards forgiving yourself.” (Aside: who me, you ask? But I have always behaved as a good Christian, going to church on Sundays, even other days, giving alms to the poor… minding my own business which is my ambition to be wealthy, so I can run for higher offices in the land… mayor, congressman, senator, but how I will go about it is probably messy, politically, like I must raise millions of pesos to win an election…weaknesses?  Why go into politics ? Can you really govern?

Being split between a virtuous life and a devious, covetous one, it’s necessary to transact monies by being street-smart yet diplomatic, cautious yet cunning, and if needed, double-dealing to succeed, Bahala na ang Diyos. For as congressman or senator or President, I will have the Pork Barrel and be able to eloquently justify in a privileged speech at the Senate my own claim for those millions, which I can dispense with as I will. Through fake NGO’s perhaps, I can swing it with assistance of a street-smart Napoles, assisted by other government agencies, giving percentages of profit as it climbs through the vine.  God will understand for I will give part of it to the Church regularly, the bishops will not know (if they too are naïve) where I got it perhaps, attributing it only to my generosity to the poor so I continue to win elections whichever way J 

SaLusa continues: “Thoughts are a very good clue, as they will suddenly enter your mind without any direct intent on your part.  As you become able to take in more of the Light energies so your strength increases and you will experience the lower vibrations without falling into them. Indeed, when you become adept at centering yourself. (Aside: which means, removing yourself from habits of going into extremes: on one hand, pious or virtuous, on the other hand, cunning, lustful, and devious) If you can achieve balance, and reverence for sacred life, your Light becomes your protection. There may be less bushfires that swallow up acres and acres of public/private lands in weeks/months, and less floodings that reach rooftops.   

 We attribute our taking in more of the Light energies so our strength of what’s virtuous in us increases, and our negative energies for greed for power somehow decreases.  Filipinos are perceived esoterically as ancient Lemurians returning from past cycles, to witness, to experience

the Galactic Alignment which is a rare astronomical event that brings our

Sun into alignment with the center of the Milky Way galaxy where our solar system belongs, every 12,960 years.  A Galactic Alignment brings us full circle into the re-membering and re-cognition of the wisdom of human beings of ancient origins like the Lemurians in the east, Atlanteans in the west.  Find out by reading further…

 

We are at the crossroads of our destiny, and an earthquake of this magnitude presents, as it were, a groundbreaking understanding of lost wisdom once common to ancient civilizations like the Maya, Egyptian, Vedic philosophies that will help us understand our spiritual connection with them, since we were the Lemurians of a very early golden age, who were seeded by angelic beings to have an extra etheric strand added to our basic   two-three strands of DNA.  If it seems natural for probably a number of Pinoys to look younger than their physical age by some fifteen or twenty years difference, we may attribute it to their genetics or DNA. Those netizens who enjoy surfing online may have learned of recent scientific findings regarding rising frequencies at this stage of our human development – we are inclined to become “attractors of chaos” according to our status of vibrations or the rate of spiraling or falling frequencies, usually falling frequencies when we are hit by ravaging storms, tornadoes, floods, bushfires, earthquakes, accidents.        

 Earth changes do not signal the end-date of 2012-2013 but rather the beginning of an ascension stage in the development of human consciousness.  We feel sad over the destruction of our old churches (historical treasures that made Bohol a tourist destination) that crumbled and we grieve the loss of many lives in Bohol and Cebu, of those who were buried under the debris of falling walls, rocks of tall structures. Yet material loss has been transformed to a spiritual gain in terms of our transformation from having a shallow understanding of our faith, just getting along with others religiously in church ritualized activities, and now we are getting into a deeper understanding of universal truths by going within our self, meditating on the mysteries (for example: the rosary, the presence of holy Eucharist (I am with you till end of time) soaring to our Higher Self...the I AM Presence. Other faiths or idealogies may have similar deeply felt connectivity to the Source as a result of the “cleansing” of the world through reported horrific climate changes, lately the raging bushfires of Australia.    

This Bohol Earthquake chart of Oct. 15, 2013 has its Midheaven (highest point of the zodiacal wheel) placed at 30 degrees Leo. It features “an old slave with a noble cast of features and a shadow of thoughtful gloom on his face,” symbolic of the common elderly man in our country today. Of course, we don’t remember having seen slaves like Aesop, Epictetus, Pheadrus of ancient Greece, but we have modern day “slaves” like our own workers overseas who are seemingly powerless in struggling against material poverty and outward misery in the home country because of being gravely underpaid while working hard for big corporations or being subjected to the endemic corruption in our

government…Suffering because of having no jobs, or earning small wages at snail pace at home, result in endless moaning and groaning that will grow into a habit. The subject will take to finding fault with everybody and everything, though he has not the making of a real judge, whatever his intellectual gifts, his literary tastes. 

Yet this 30 degrees of Leo in the above Bohol earthquake chart can make a superman of Filipinos whose stars or planets in his birthchart should elsewhere supply the necessary requirements to make one a superbeing.  The Philippine independence chart of June 12, 1898, upholds the universal fact that character is destiny, and there appears to be a lot of character in the Pinoy's psychological makeup as portrayed by the Bohol earthquake chart above, together with the June 12 independence chart.  

To earn much more in work overseas in order to send back home to families, Juan must “have a heart soaring beyond the highest peaks of human nobility, a heroically mighty will-power’’ in direct confrontation with alien cultures that clash with his own belief system which is “an infallible moral law from the deepest sources of his soul.  He feels the right of being a master though performing the lowest duties, of feeling free and lordly while socially a servant, though at times he can’t avoid a continuous comparison between his actual standing and the one he thinks he is entitled to that could cripple his initiative,” but his work overseas makes him succeed by excelling workers from other countries., this character depiction comes from the  Bohol earthquake chart of Oct. 15, 2013.   Why does he excel abroad, and fail in his own country ? Let’s take a passage from “A Letter to Filipinos “by Dr. David H Harwell, an American international correspondent ----

            “In the countries where I’ve lived and worked, all over the Middle East and Asia, it is Filipinos who do all the work and make everything happen.  When I am working in a new company abroad, I seek out the Filipino staff when I need help getting something done and done right.  Your international reputation as employees is that you work hard, don’t complain, and are very capable.  If all the Filipinos were to go home from the Middle East, the world would stop.  Oil is the lifeblood of the world, but without Filipinos, the oil will not come from the ground, it will not be loaded onto the ships, and the ships will not sail.  The offices that make the deals and collect the payments will not even open in the morning. The schools will not have teachers, and of course the hospitals will have no staff.”    

Whether a superman or human wretch, he will always fit in with the self-styled definition of Christ’s representative on Earth: SERVUS SERVORUM -- the servant’s servant. This 30 degrees of Leo which is ruled by the Sun –solar fire of the Divine Feminine as given previously ties up with 16 degrees Scorpio which is Pluto-ruled, given in the following destiny image:  Symbol –“A knight of the Holy Grail”. 

            An ancient Christian legend tells how, when Lucifer was flung from Heaven, a jewel fell from his crown, a jewel fell from his crown. From this jewel a cup was carved in which, on the day of our Lord’s passion, Joseph of Arimathea gathered the blood flowing from crucified Christ’s wounds.  This chalice, luciferic by origin, divine by destination, is named Grail.  Its wardens are knights enlisted into a militaryorder having its headquarters in a mysterious and impervious place by the name Monsalvat. Hence, the knights set out to bring mankind the medicines it needs, to defend the oppressed and to redress downtrodden rights.  But not all the knights have stayed faithful; evil forces try to win over as many as possible of them, and the ranks of deserters form the army of Monsalvat’s bitterest foes.  

            This legend’s secret meaning does not concern us here, but only such hints as are necessary to explain the symbol, whose essence ought to be clear by now, consisting in a spirit of christian charity and mercy served by an enlightened mind and a chivalrous and enthusiastic heart.  A knight errant may not tell a lie; formidable as the foes may be, a righteous one cannot be conquered in an ordeal, a merciful one cannot but be human and kind, a Christian hero cannot be but loveable. Whatever the moral height of the native, foreign is the country where he is called to act, his outward appearance is nimble and attractive, his wedding princely. Should other components allow, he would either belong to a secret sect or the militant Church.  Or both, duality is well emphasized here. 

With Aquarius on the cusp of 4^th House of roots, home, beginning and latter half of life, the Filipino has been the preferred choice in jobs overseas, and the Philippine economy has been able to grow in spite of an inherent weakness -- that of our inability to develop our own manufacturing industries.  And this is the crux of the matter -- what we lack in the home country in terms of developing our own economic advantage, we gain by making the economy of other countries grow through our well- known capabilities of building industry.  This is our way of sharing what we have with the world which is very Aquarian in spirit. We are a late-blooming economy in Southeast Asia as a result.  

I will add another factor in the Phl. Independence chart which is most vital in human evolution.  The Moon represents the Divine Feminine, and in the Phl chart the Moon in masculine Aries, is posited in the Fourth House of roots, foundations of the soul and home. Moon is well connected with Uranus and Saturn with flowing trines giving the assurance that if  the poverty- ridden Filipinos will spread out in the world to labor in God’s vineyards they stand to be well favored. They will come home at the end of their labors to splendid houses in lands that have been well developed.   

This is the paradox of Juan de la Cruz, he can attain his heart’s desire only if he gives it up. The first obstacle to getting a better life is a corrupt government that inhibits him also from leaving for work overseas, because his country is a veritable Garden of Eden where a wealth of natural resources is waiting to be developed yet he can’t follow suit for the much needed teamwork with government is often times severely lacking.  It seems the Creator or in-dwelling God in the Universe has other plans .  He wills that the natives be sent out of paradise to work in his vineyards (see bible) for the planters of the vineyards outside appear to the Creator, robust in body but showing severe signs of malnutrition in spirit.        

The Filipino’s temporal master is in possession of a land rich in oil, making the former feels he is a conqueror of the world for it needs his petroleum so he feels he is in control.  You can’t come to his country as a guest, or a tourist for there’s no such friendly relationship to be expected. Schooled in their own alien culture the Middle Eastern people don’t recognize anyone coming from outside their gates, their territorial imperative, as a guest or a tourist, except for those white or brown men who have the technology to teach them how to discover and make production of fossil oil in  refineries down to sailing, selling them to all ports of the world but the good news is that they are beginning to be less autocratic and more understanding of the democratic way of life – see the luxury-living in the ME especially in the UAE cities -- Dubai, Doha, and Abu Dhabi.

PART 2  the Bohol Earthquake

 Our being trapped in the midst of chaos in the Middle East nowadays goes to show how far we have gone into the higher levels of consciousness, into Beingness as a race of people. 

We Filipino Lemurians are back to Earth

Hey, we are the ones we have been waiting for, coming from the Pleiades, named “Seven Sisters.” Maya is one of them. They are the ones who set up the Mayan Calendar for the Earth which is the eighth sister that has gone astray, or got out of line from this group of planets near the Galactic Center.  Now we are here to return the Flame of Freedom to Earth.  It is the solar fire of the Divine Feminine that was “banished” for thousand of years by patriarchy… we are our Pleiadian ancestors who have returned to reconnect to the cosmic exchange of flaming torches from the divine masculine to the divine feminine.  After passing Saturn’s orbit to continue towards Space to make the galactic alignment

we come across the last three members of our solar system called the “planets of the Higher Octave” that are most prominent in the Philippine independence chart of June 12, 1898, and these are: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto which I have described above as Higher Octave energies -- instigators of the yearly passion-driven Lenten rites done in Pampanga, and other parts of the country in a lighter vein perhaps like reading the Pasyon in a song where people gather to make a 9-day novena.  Then there are the masses of people converging in Quiapo church to celebrate the feast of the Black Nazarene all claiming to have been healed of various ailments by Jesus Christ.

 At this point, we must realize that Human Evolution is far from being completed its course.  The Bohol Earthquake of Oct. 15, 2013, gives us three remarkable zodiac images of the “Filipino’s Remembrance and Recognition as superbeings, plus or minus: 1) Leo on 30 degrees – Servant of Servants  2) Scorpio on 16 degrees – Knight of the Holy Grail 3) Aries on 10 degrees – St George slays the dragon 

Man has not yet reached his perfected state of being. And he has so far only activated

his five physical senses, but there are three metaphysical senses which are still dormant within him, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto – they lead us to the sixth sense named Intuition (90 percent of our mind is Intuition, only 10 percent is Logic and Reason)  Mankind is just awakening to its presence.  Now that we have entered the Age of Aquarius, ruled by Uranus, we feel the rays of Uranus allowing us to move toward the fulfillment of our collective destiny –the development of the 7^th sense.

To restore the solar fire of the divine feminine which carries the 6^th sense of Intuition our men and women had to leave home and still do, to apply for work overseas as domestics, many of them are teachers, professionals in the households of the last bastion of human slavery in parts of ME (middle east) where the rays of Love and Light  are coming in but are being blocked by brutality or severe unkindness to others.  Love comes from the Light, understand this Truth, this connection, for the lack of Light makes Love debased by the darkness of ignorance of the Law.  Because Filipinos are “sent” by the powerful evolution energies of Sun conjoined by Pluto and Neptune in the June 12 Independence chart  to achieve this objective they have to be brave like St George who slays the dragon of evil, given here in a symbolic zodiac degree, 10 Aries which carries Uranus, ruler of Aquarius, and in 16 degrees Scorpio be guardians of the Holy Grail, as knights, outstanding in moral conduct.     

 After millennia of brutality to one another – individual to individual, group to group, it is clear now that our fears cannot be healed by mere accumulation of wealth, physical beauty or prowess, since these are external powers that fade away.  The solar fire of the sacred feminine leads us to another kind of power –love and  light, reverence for life that does not pass judgment, that perceives a purpose in everything that lives. This is authentic power –the power that is drawn from the deepest roots of man’s soul.  In the Phl chart it is carried by the Moon in Aries (sacred feminine) 4^th house of roots, lands and houses, in harmonious trines to Uranus conjunct Saturn Retrograde (returning energies) both in Sagittarius, sign of travel for service to humanity, advanced studies in foreign countries in 12^th House of collective karma of humanity.  Our hard-working and sacrificing OFWs are assured of a happy return to the motherland.      

    Aquarius is the Age of brotherhood of men, and with his employer’s mindset  growing more receptive to democracy, the Filipino diaspora grows even more tantalizing to our people at home.  Going abroad is now both an adventure and a reward. For unless both sides, the employer and employed get into the recognition of this condition of brotherhood as the Law of Aquarius requires, the Abundance as promised by the Aquarian golden age will not manifest.  Thanks to the coming of more Light as a “clearing” of the darkness of ignorance gives way to more  enlightenment, the Philippine, once the sick-man of Asia is now becoming healthy, and  robust with the guidance, care and vigilance of our people coming from the Guardians of Love and Light of the human race.   

Uranus- ruler of the Age of Aquarius, posited in the Bohol earthquake chart of 5^th House of pleasure, children, creativity, will give you the image of how Filipinos working here and overseas is represented on 10 degrees Aries conjunct Part of Fortune, in the magical symbol of  St. George who slays the dragon :

Courage, nay daring; here, but the borders of recklessness are skirted.  Led by a successful ambition, barring signs to the contrary, the Filipino is likely to beat his foes, to reach the highest standing, to attain peerless distinction.  His career will be at any rate exceptional or uncommon.  The native will be blessed with an inborn righteousness as well as with a mind open to truth.  Should he be gifted for mental work, natural sciences would be his branch; should he be particularly sensitive to spiritual forces, he would have the gift of clairvoyance, perhaps prophecy.  Initiation is not excluded when you carry the cross to follow Jesus Christ.

Via Crucis is a symbol of Pluto the destroyer and transformer planet in the 2^nd House of money of this earthquake chart which gives the most important message from the Bible because Bohol and Cebu have become the popular tourist destinations in the country Filipinos are asked to look within, not without when seeking material gain from Tourism. The churches in Bohol were destroyed perhaps to test our faith – is it the physical beauty of form …fine architecture of churches you love or something deeper which is invisible to the eye?   “But rather seek ye the Kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Luke xii, 31) 

“You are misguided, a church is more than mortar and stone, you cannot simply erase two thousand years of faith, you cannot crush faith simply by removing its earthly manifestations.”  From Cambergo Carlo Ventresca, Dan Brown’s ‘Angels and Demons’ 

In a spiritual nativity, the zodiac degrees of 9 Capricorn ruled by Saturn could carry a very high reward to the Filipino’s sacrifices working in foreign countries which cultures run contrary to his own belief system.  These will be superhuman, and the prize not of this world.  Down here, this prize will take the shape as it took in King Solomon’s case: wisdom, as this 9 degrees of Capricorn by itself will not grant earthly happiness.  If the Pinoy only has a craving for earthly pleasures, the native could only reap unhappiness even more so as his or her over-sensitiveness will dramatize every failure into tragedy.  The virtues here are a great humility before God and a dignified reserve before the world, and the Pinoy has these traits in his character to the amazement of foreign bosses, even to himself. 

The native ought to face and bear his karma with quiet courage and dignity, and miraculously for the Pinoy, he does face his karma with quiet courage and dignity abroad, and the weight of his burden is made lighter by his congeniality, his smiling face in the company of others of different cultures who may be inclined to be morose, dominating and alienating to him, which results happily in the Filipino’s ability to transcend a negative environment by laughter, and enjoyment of work, having an appetite for camaraderie perhaps to cover up for loneliness being far away from home.  When I had the good fortune of visiting my husband, a retired colonel in the army, who worked to supervise a project in Saudi Arabia, I was awed to see how often we were invited to dinner of long tables of the officers and service crew eating a good hearty meal early evenings, just an hour or two after an exciting basketball game in competition with other teams.  Here in Phl. restaurant business thrives well for after a hard day’s work, people are crowding around bistros eating dinner with families on weekends.  Filipinos know, wherever they are, at home especially, how to find a reason to step out, to eat good food, to celebrate the Creator’s abundance J  For as Jesus says in Psalm 23:

“Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and all the rest shall be added unto you.” 

  

WINGS OF THE BUTTERFLY

What is going to happen to us now? After making world headlines within days in August, 2010, marking bloody denouement to a 12-hour hijacked tourist bus on Aug. 23, 2010, by a rogue cop and now much shock comes to us from news of the Pork Barrel scam this year, Sept-Oct 2013, flying in wild batches of documents purportedly truthful or contrived by whistle blowers -- out of the Pandora’s box, 2013, at the same time that Zamboanga City was attacked by Misuari’s rebel group. Bombings continue to occur in different parts in Mindanao but our stalwart armed forces continue to hold the fort (and not just Fort del Pilar of Zambo).

The Part of Fortune conjunct Pluto in the RP solar return chart of 2010, however, gives us a sign that all is not lost if our government top officials can convey to the world a Lemurian soul of highly developed consciousness (Alamat or Myth affirms it) guiding us Filipinos to implement skills and tactics to do or die in any crises.
Like a caterpillar the Pinoy on his journey, trapped now and then in a benighted crisis, crawls and then -- JUST WHEN THE CATERPILLAR THINKS THE WORLD IS OVER, IT BECOMES A BUTTERFLY.

Note: Part of Fortune is a karmic point in a given NATAL chart or solar return ANNUAL chart indicative of the native’s GROWING level of Consciousness coming from a continuum of past incarnations’ consisting of rising or lowering rate of frequencies, as a person or the racial group of a country can deliver, we Pinoys have to check where we are at now. Part of fortune in the Solar Return year 2013 of the Philippine independence chart gives us this picture, revealing to us the ambivalent or split- nature of Filipinos -- PF on 20 degrees Libra, in 2nd House of finances – SYMBOL: Around an alter, on which the fire of sacrifice is blazing, the priests lay the sacred meal. Meaning of symbolic image:

An outstanding personality innerly filled with light and warmth. There is a sincere religious spirit, exclusive of hypocrisy but not of earthly pleasures, prominent among which is an enjoyment of good food. The other factors have to show whether this pious strain is likelier to inspire an ascetic or as a sensuous mysticism. In either case the native may enter the clergy or lead as a layman, an apostle’s life.
Either in a cloister or in the world, the native’s ecclesiastical or worldly career stands under good auspices and may even prove very fortunate indeed, if backed by other indications of luck. The support of highly placed people and the sympathy of learned persons will bring forth the native’s otherwise unmistakable gifts, and his presence will appear indispensable to others. Janet Napoles appears to have the above nature that is innerly filled with light (believe) and warmth – virtuous on one hand, and devious on the other hand with the intent of helping her family and relatives to rise from the clutches of poverty to riches, employing her outstanding personality so her migrant-daughter claims. The Part of fortune icon happens to stand in the 2nd house of money in the Phil. Solar return chart of 2013, it stands for all Pinoys. Napoles is just a role model.

More revelations from the SR chart of 2013 -- Pluto in 4th House of foundations, which has a negative square to Uranus in 7th- 8th House of partners (7), death and rebirth (8) cusp, stands on 11 degrees Capricorn. SYMBOL – a King wearing the crown and seated on the throne receives an envelope from a messenger or a ambassador -- Meaning of symbol: This influence will help those aspiring to power, to position of a high political authority, the diplomatic career and any position of court, whether high or low. On one side, all the moral or immoral traits required at hand, like secrecy, reserve, cautiousness, worldly wisdom, cunning, diplomacy and if needed, double-dealing.

On the other hand, there will be the favor of highly- placed, or even top-flight people, whose importance and the brilliance of the native’s career will be determined by the rest of the chart. This applies to the measure in which those virtues or vices will come to light as well. Note: the 2013 SR chart of Phil has a heavy concentration of cosmic energies: Sun, Jupiter (greater luck) Black Moon (dark force) Venus (lesser luck, Mercury spilling over the 11th house of friends, aspirations, in the topmost 10th House of career supported by flowing favorable Grand Trines, small wonder the world agencies rating economic progress give us Pinoys a higher than average rating, putting us virtually on top of the world, thanks to the hard work of our humble OFWs’ whose remittances keep our heads above water while the heads of other countries may be sinking, this despite our anguish and anxieties over money brought by the Black Moon.

A dark force derided the success of Megan Young’s winning the world title by saying in derision: what? that one coming from a country of maids and drivers? But we know how to bring those virtues and vices to come to light, we have the confidence and honor to keep our heads up, eyes lowered praying as much rosaries, to ask aid from Above, praying more for the darkened agnostic world than for oneself, “As Above so Below,” the ancient sages would advise earthlings to move on. Just when the ugly crawling caterpillar thinks, the world is over, it beomes a radiant butterfly.

In this case, the Philippines is blessed with a Lemurian past, and if Filipinos have the ability to remember where they came from they can choose to claim their ‘core’ authentic Lemurian in the east (not Atlantean which represents the west) identity as agents of truth, trust, passion (Pluto conjunct PF, Pluto signifies tempered passion) as well as kindness, love, and understanding, the Filipinos won’t have to look at this lamentable situation with so much worry. With awareness, they can create their own splendid No.8 lemniscate which stands for transmutation of energies -- the meeting of physical reality with the infinite reality of transformation, raising the vibrations of the lower self (ego) to its higher Self (God within) in order to connect to the universal cosmic Web of Life. .

Do you know or infer why Megan Young, in the 2013 Miss World pageant held in Bali, Indonesia, won the favor of the more enlightened judges / when during the question and answer portion, she spoke of “having a core value that in her native culture guides her in the way she thinks and does what she has to do…and for guiding the larger society of the world which she intends to serve in the best of her ability with kindness, emphasis on kindness, and her mother looking truly Filipino there in Bali, that evening said that of her daughter. The Lemurians of the past have arrived.

Kudos to Megan, we utter rejoicing with the large crowd of Pinoys in the audience, as we perceive that Megan professes that amazing ‘core value’ of the ancient Filipino Lemurian embedded in her inner self. The fact that she was aware of it, confirmed our faith in her as being a Filipino not only of significant physical beauty but as a woman of spiritual substance. We have been rewarded for our core values as manifested by Megan Young’s winning the Miss World title however, can we speak the same thing for many of our chosen or elected officials of the land at this time when the Pandora’s box opened up exposing the shocking Napoles Pork Barrel scam that exploded right before our eyes, awakening us from a deep ignorance of long hidden government anomalies? The lack of transparency shows in the dirty game of politics in this country. Let it be known however that we don’t have a monopoly of this lack of transparency in the world. We just fail to remember that we were Lemurians before.

On September 26, 2013, a million Awakened Filipinos marched to the Luneta to protest the Pork Barrel scam. It is reported by media that Malacanang Palace simply shrugged it off, promising to investigate and punish those found guilty of plunder, but it must be done in fairness, non-partisan, an investigation on both sides, the regime and the opposition, that’s the ultimate test of integrity. Meanwhile, more rallies are planned to do a follow-up…

In August 2010, the Philippine National Police “SWAT” (Special weapons and tactics) team has been swatted on the Net by a number of Filipino netizens translating Swat as meaning -- “Sugod, wait, atras tayo,” or “Sorry wala akong training” impacting a rather humbling experience for “Samahang walang alam sa tactics” and the government na wala ding alam or “So weak in team work” some foreign observers noted that though a number of Filipinos are generous in spinning humor, great at laughing at themselves, their political leaders.

But seriously speaking, it is a mirroring of one’s inner self, a mythological vent on the unknown in us that just opened up, swatting our need to learn lessons in truth, compassion, and humility, illumined by a lack of ancient wisdom for the concerned supervisors, directors, highly paid chairmen of the "bored", up to the topmost leader of the land. The anticipated and feared Big Bang earthquake had arrived in Manila in September, 2013, but not in a physical sense. Sleeping over a decade of ignorance, we got a rude awakening when the controversial PDAF scam blew up. Again, the infamous double-dealing, inner-split vent in our Filipino nature looms repeating that of Aug. 2010, when the Swat team was swatted by the netizens of Twitter, Facebook, saying “Sugod, wait, atras tayo,” or “Sorry wala akong training” let’s go abroad to work and learn from the brutal masters of the west, middle east, or abroad in Asia, the Chinese, who are trying to claim our shoals, right at our doorsteps.

At this time of universal cleansing, the Master guides speak to us of cataclysms arriving… are we prepared for these? If there is the Lemurian in you, then you are your own personal earthquake, you are your own crumbling of belief systems that no longer serve you. In a sense, there is going to be a destruction and the ending of a cycle but it is going to take place not around you in the physical world, it is going to take place within you. So do not fear of old relationships (on the political level, government deals) that can no longer be the same whether it’s a personal, or a socio-economic relationship that makes you delve into the inner levels of yourself. Where did you fail?

The Shift that culminates in coming years would ultimately mean to us, as the radical choices for transformation we have to make in our life now. As Deepak Chopra says one could argue along fairly conventional lines that the current trends in climate change, economics, population growth, explosion of information and the electronic connectivity of the world are all powerful forces conspiring toward some very big changes in the near future. What is most interesting is not what may or may not happen in the external world, but rather the changes within our consciousness that are available to us right now. Let’s see what the planets say.

By planetary transits, you have Saturn square Pluto conjunct North Node, representing the collective consciousness of the world, telling you that this is a difficult time in your life. Saturn square Pluto is a dark foreboding cataclysmic transit that covers a long period – 2010 till 2016. Because of circumstances (what happened in the past like the bloody hostage-taking of a tourist bus parked in front of the Luneta Park center where President Aquino had his oath-taking and other people like the Chinese, and now the shocking revelation of corruption in power-circles, you find it very difficult to make the changes you would like to make in the world.

In the Philippines, the Aquino administration wants its vision to focus on rounding up all those who they think in the previous government have allegedly corrupted themselves in service by setting up a Truth Commission, and other means of exposing alleged corrupt activities . There’s nothing wrong with that obviously if that is your ambition, but if you must go beyond your self-centered egotistic display of power and instead delve into your inner selves you will be asked to cast the mote in your eye, or see only the mote in other people’s eye, by casting a stone at the suspected adulteress to kill her (Bible) by Christ. Because another form of religion wants to elevate the male of the species as superior at the expense of the feminine sex by creating a double set of standards, one for the male and another for the female. Because there is that pure essence of truth seeded in every human soul, learned or unlearned, nobody among the mob could move. “Who among you who has not sinned may cast the first stone,” Jesus Christ commanded. And nobody in the mob could cast a stone. Why? The answer is obvious. All have sinned.

Pluto represents ambition for power that can be abused or exploited at the expense of others for the sake of elevating one’s ego. Your ambition for power in work may be frustrated at this time of cleansing, under an afflicted Pluto-Saturn transit. It is showing you that bosses or co-workers may try to prevent you from accomplishing what you want.

Financially, you will probably have to curb expenses because you simply do not have the resources. Sometimes the experience of this world-wide Pluto-Saturn negative transit is much like struggling against chains that hold you down. Examine how your individual as well as national projects are frustrated. However, resisting is not the best way to handle this energy, because that would set to motion destructive powers beyond your control. In Pakistan, and other parts of the world, people feel their efforts to rebuild their homes and farms are frustrated by the flooding that remains vast, and formidable in scope. Hunger and disease stalk these poor people, who are asking for compassion and help from the outside world, the collective. What happens to one happens to all, as other countries have similar difficulties going on in their countries though of a different kind at this time of karmic reckoning.

This Pluto-Saturn transit is sometimes associated with violent incidents like the unfortunately botched hostage-taking of a tourist bus handled by the national police, and similar hostage-taking in Mindanao by the rebel groups using different names to confuse us. The best way to handle this energy is to handle it with a degree of detachment. Understandably, you will be quite upset with some of the obstacles that crop up now, but regard it as a way of finding out which areas in your life are working and which are not. A square from Saturn (karmic reaping) usually represents a call to eliminate the unnecessary and superfluous elements in your life like becoming proud, mayabang, and self-righteous, sometimes, quick to condemn.

In the Philippine Independence chart, the Sun is conjunct Pluto (greed for power), Sun conjunct Neptune (craving for the unknown, the divine) are at cross-purposes, a tension between spirituality and excessive materialism. Lemuria sank because of abuse of power, fifty thousand years ago. But the Lemurians were divided. Those who worked with Spirit transcended the dangers and had wings to fly to a higher dimensional level like the fourth from third. Those who separated from Spirit found themselves elsewhere. Pluto rules breakdown and rebuilding, and that is exactly what you are forced to do now. Pluto transits take a long time, extending over a year or more (for the entire world) to allow more grace. If you do it voluntarily, it will be easier. When this transit is over, you will emerge from this crisis considerably tougher than you were. Reorganize your life so that you can get along with less.

To bring us to a sharper and deeper focus on the gravity of the Shift in consciousness we incorporate here the Ascended Masters with Jesus Christ and holy Mary, Mother of Miracles, as they have the ultimate charge of human evolution and ascension.

*We open this with greetings from Dushanbe, Tajikistan (ex-Soviet republic). I am a great follower of your teachings. I have a question regarding the massive fires as caused by abnormal heat in Russia. Recalling your great dictations from the Russian conference this year, am I right to assume that the fires in Russia awaken most of the Russian people from their insensitivity to life? I am trying to read East-West miracle rosary as it is good to balance natural conditions and prevent- mitigate calamities. Anything else you can recommend us to do? Many thanks for your direction and clarity to these questions.

**Beloved Jesus, I have followed the recent conference in St.Petersburg while at home in the UK, via this website (note: this is a very large website called askrealjesus.com., and they constitute a series of channeled conferences held in various parts of the world) Gautama Buddha refers to communism blocking the east-west figure-eight flow. Are the brush fires a purging of negative energies, which have lingered since the fall of communism?

Answer from Mother Mary (Aug. 12, 2010) as channeled by Kim Michaels.
My beloved hearts, let me make it very clear that we of the Ascended Host do not make natural disasters or other calamities happen. Whether it be the fires in Russia or the floods in Pakistan, we do not sit up here and plan specific events in order to awaken or punish human beings. We have only love and compassion for the people on Earth and would gladly see them avoid calamities and manifest the Golden Age as quickly as possible.

Mother Mary: two main reasons why calamities happen, be it in the life of an individual, in a people or nation or even on the planet as a whole. Let me ask you to take a look at What we can do and we are charged to do-- according to the law which is to release energies into the collective consciousness of the entire material universe, and the entire sphere in which the universe exists.

There comes a time when the inhabitants of a planetary unit need to move on, to transcend the old state of consciousness, as symbolized by the Wings of the Butterfly which connects to the heart. If the inhabitants of a planet are not willing to do so, then we are charged with releasing a measure of spiritual energies. These energies are the pure form of consciousness that the inhabitants have perverted, and thus they are not a form of punishment but instead an opportunity for people in government who are charged to account for the use or misuse of the huge sums of monies, taxes paid by the people to internalize and multiply the energies whereby they can raise themselves above the old, perverted consciousness as in the case of the exploded Pork Barrel scam.

Because they are so different from the perverted energies to which people become accustomed, the energies will challenge people to look at and question their state of consciousness (and behavior) as a result of this excavated black hole of the PDAF scam involving the whole so it seems. If they are not willing to look at themselves, then the energies we release will create a tension and as this tension intensifies, it can eventually precipitate certain physical events or cause a major disaster.

You now see that there is a list of spiritual poisons and their corresponding calamities:

1. The poison of ignorance causes earthquakes.
2. The poison of anger causes volcanic eruptions.

3. The poison of pride causes violent winds and storms. Comment: On record of Pagasa, we were visited by typhoon Basyang, and Manila was directly hit and fiercely so, at the post-inauguration of a new president, June 30, 2010.

4. The poison of greed causes fires started by human beings, and by thunder and lightning or other natural causes. It is also the cause of drought.

5. The poison of non-will, non-being, and non-belief cause extreme cold, even an ice age in western counties.

Recent floods in Pakistan, parts of China, parts of Europe, the Americas, these years of the Shift, show a need to transcend greed, envy, jealousy, a state of consciousness that is prominent in the middle east and in their religion in the present form. Of course they also have a problem with greed which is why they go through a seemingly endless cycle of too much or too little rain. Frequent very cold winters indicate a problem with non-will and non-being as in the West. An unwillingness to acknowledge, develop and express your spiritual potential is precisely what makes the Russian people vulnerable to communism, but not anymore. Russia is basically a mystical country, blessed with spiritual growth, and not in a denial of it. Vlademir Putin, past KGB head, current Russian president got the top vote of American Time magazine to appear on its cover recently for convincing the US leadership to opt for diplomacy by asking for the chemical weapons of mass destruction, to be destroyed by the UN security council, instead of making a military strike on Syria, that could escalate into a nuclear world war if uncontrolled which US wants to avert with all its might by displaying aircraft carriers, battleships, nuclear-powered submarines spread out to guard the Seven Seas to counter Other displays of power as much as the Divine is their (hopefully) guide to preserve Galactic or Universal joy, harmony, peace. .

Of course, appealing to us does not only mean to pray, fast or sacrifice as most people think, an ascended master says. Instead you need to demonstrate a willingness to transcend the consciousness of the past, showing that you have learned your lesson. Thus you will no longer have the tension between your collective consciousness and the spiritual energies we release.
