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 4th-5th 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 4th 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 7th sense.

To restore the solar fire of the divine feminine which carries the 6th 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) 4th 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 12th 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 5th 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 2nd 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.”

Norman Imperial said these in his fb - the general point is to accept the being of what we ARE, in doing so we love ourselves & open us at the same time for the Graces & Abundances of the Cosmos. When we open the flow of giving and receiving, we also open up for the Wisdom that came with those creative exchanges.

& then there are those times that Mother/Father Cosmos will have to challenge his/her creations in order to take that quantum leap into Spiritual evolution. & that's the time when we will be challenged out of the bounds of our comfort zones. And we will be left with no other choices but to take the yoke of the lesson upon our shoulders, to do what is required of us as part of the Universal Laws.

the bottomline is for us to be constantly on our toes & be ready like a warrior on a moment's notice./unquote.(My apologies to Norman Imperial. I quoted his lines here because he is also of Filipino descent who works overseas and speaks from the soul in the manner above.)
In the varied challenges of life, i should say the Pinoy has it in him to adapt to his environment wherever he finds a source of his income to put food on the table, for clothing & shelter. In his goal for survival,the Filipino feet treks the ends of this globe armed with the DNA brew he has as a Pinoy. If the native has in him the spiritual roots that flourish in the face of adversity, that is his gift. and his burden. he knows what blessing he has and he shares that blessing by being the competent component of the work environment where he is employed overseas. He labors to arrive at that point. Others discern this where he is regarded as a natural.
In the sphere of divine drama, the Filipino is undressed, stripped of his usual attitudes and outlook. He learns indeed to survive. To do that, he connects to the Inner Self that remains as the invisible source of comforting wisdom/light for the pilgrim of earth as in the case of a Pinoy.
