Heaven on Earth

Lately, I have openly expressed to my husband my desire to live in a country where religion and religious practices don’t dominate daily life. I get agitated by the volatile conditions in the country where the Chief Justice herself does not honor the decision of the Supreme Court. The Ombudsman doesn’t respect the decision of the Supreme Court either. What is wrong with these 2 women???? All because they both claim that moral issues are above the legal issues. This can’t happen in Singapore!!!!

And the CBCP of the Church does not respect the decision of the Supreme Court either.

Last Nov 6 over lunch to celebrate the Nov 10 birthday of my husband I had a most enjoyable time feeling affirmed by Tato Malay and a former student of my husband , Marito Platon.

This week I get assurances from some authors on Facebook.

I can stay here in the country and find strength in like-minded friends. Our daughter, now a British citizen inspires me with how she has adjusted to living according to her INNER SELF!

Yesterday, my masseuse comforted me with her expansive worldview. Her 10 yrs experience in South Korea taught me how to deal with my worries and agitations related to narrow religious beliefs.

I can’t believe how much I have allowed my religious past to limit me.
My wise husband repeatedly reminds me that I can live in another country BUT my baggage of RELIGION and RELIGIOUS issues will still be with me.

So I am left to IMAGINE!

Dr Christine Page wrote:
“Imagine how it would feel to walk your own path with confidence, fully conscious and without fear.”
“Imagine as in the Tibetan vocabulary, there was no word for guilt but only an appreciation that we are personally accountable for the consequences of our actions.”

The Hawaiian tradition held by their elders teach something similar to what Dr Page has written. But I know the Filipinos living in Hawaii live according to the western code.

Dr Page continued:
“Imagine if your thoughts, words and actions are not judged on the basis of someone else’s dictates and experiences but on your own sense as to whether they resonate with a deeper truth within.”

“This may sound too radical (this was written in the 90s)  but this is the way of the future, where personal and inner MORALITY (that of the Chief Justice, that of the Ombudsman, that of the CBCP, that of the CHR etc) guide the individual’s system not man-made rules fully appreciative that there is nothing we do, say or think that doesn’t affect someone else, somewhere and EVENTUALLY RETURN TO US.”

Self-Mastery

My fave spiritual authors endorse LOVE as the solution to the problems of the universe. The gospels preach the message of love. Marianne Williamson, as introduced by a close friend in the 90s, has been endorsing love for more than 20 years. This failed to get her elected in the US congress.

Gill Edwards, Wayne Dyer, Rabbi Darfour, even Candace Pert are all dead. Michael Tamura, Esther Hicks, Matt Kahn etc continue to speak messages of love. Even Dr Christine Page makes love a requirement for manifesting your desires.

Some messages are downright mushy. Some are sentimental. Others are romantic. Some make me feel they don’t know what I am going through.

Some make the split between my Inner Child and my Higher Self almost unbearable.

Here comes Martha Beck with a practical insight: “If someone is hurting you, the first step is to create enough distance to feel safe. The time to love a burglar in the kitchen is when she is in prison, not when she is in the kitchen.”

Funny that Beck identified the burglar as a “she”.

Ultimately, I would rather go to Sylvia Boorstein who wrote:
“Sweetheart, you are in pain. Take a breath. Let’s pay attention to what is happening. Then we will figure out what to do next.”

Staying Healthy Is No Joke

Dr Page wrote: “Although the physical body often manifests the disharmony or disease it is rarely the origin of the imbalances for it is purely the vehicle for the energies transitted from the other bodies manifesting thoughts into action.”

Therefore I think I better pay attention to the other bodies. I also may have to examine my thoughts carefully but without ruminating. I may have to be mindful of my thoughts before they are allowed to manifest into actions.

According to Dr Page the other bodies are: astral, etheric, mental, the physical body and the causal body.

George Sison has the pain body in his articles.

Now I see how complicated staying healthy can be. Now I see why Wayne Dyer, Lynn Grabhorn, Gill Edwards etc did not reach a ripe old age like the happy Sylvia Boorstein.

I find it difficult to accept still-born babies, deaths of babies, even deaths of children below 7 yrs old.

I know there are reasons; I can’t see or I can’t accept yet.

The gift of Chaos

P.M.H. Atwater: “We know from the study of chaos that this is true – that as order disintegrates into chaos, that very chaos gives birth to a new order.”

It is consoling to read the above at this time in the history of my country. A lot of people, especially the critics of the president, are scared because they can’t understand the president.

My husband and I and some of our friends are calm because of our spirituality, consciousness and soul work. We have read a lot about chaos, about consciousness about end times and about soul work as contrasted with personality development.

Atwater: One thing is for certain, the notion of end times quickly fades when you consider evolutionary ages and how cyclic they are.”

Alan Seale must understand the the scared critics of the president and those in the religiosity paradigm.
“The ego longs for structure that sets boundaries and makes the rules…”
BUT
“Spirit will not choose for us. we have been given the gift of free choice. Spirit will wait for us to exercise the right.”
“Everyone must find his or her own way.”
Sardello: “Fear arises in the soul when changes occur more rapidly than the soul capacities can keep up with.”

Wholistic paradigm for Wellness

Sardello: “The living body is an open field, a locus for the convergence of relationships- with the world, with the other people, with the soul realm, with the spirit realms.”

What doctors learn from the study of cadavers would not include…”Fear acts on the organs of the body, affecting them directly.”  (Sardello)

Also “The presence of fear interferes with the capacity to concentrate.” Without concentration I, for one, can’t be mindful and mindfulness is very necessary in my cognitive paradigm for wellness.

“Because the breath becomes shallow and the body becomes tense when the mind is disturbed, lengthening the breath calms…more important, it causes the mind for the space of time it’s attending to the breath, noticing it in descriptive terms, to drop the story of discontent.” (Boorstein)
