Generational Divide

My son, the only one left with me in this house (kids leave when they get older to find their sovereignty, that's why every couple must be best friends. No kidding.) asked me if I'd like to have my Netflix back on my tv. Without hesitation, I said no. I am more amused watching the ongoing impeachment trial, dahil hindi lang s'ya tunay na buhay na pangyayari but more because I consider me a frustrated lawyer.😛

But yeah, I would have wanted to be that, after graduating high school. Ma-reklamo ako first and foremost, at hindi basta-basta kaagad-agad gustong sumunod sa mga utos ng kung ninuman. Kailangan ko munang kumbinsihin ang sarili ko, at pag alam kung wala na talaga ako'ng choice, at saka lang ako tumatalima. So hard-headed me. 

Until "love" crushed me. Or I thought it did. It took me many, many years to understand things to gain my "freedom" from its weight.

Masaya na ang simpleng buhay ko, kahit sa gitna ng mga panahong di maiiwasang pagdalaw ng hindi mawaglit-waglit na alaala ng poncio pilato'ng alam kong hindi ko lubusang makakalimutan sa kadahilanang alam na alam ko rin - the bittersweet nothings. Weeh, nothing nga ba? Kada araw kaya..🤭 

So much for that though. Balik na tayo sa nakakaaliw at nakakabaliw (lalo na!) na impeachment trial. That last day of the week's trial's (August 12, 2026) word for the day was generation divide, courtesy of the Presiding Officer. Parang ang ganda-ganda pakingggan kahit na embellished word lang naman actually s'ya ng old term namin na generation gap. Pinaganda lang para hindi naman nakakatanda o nakakaumay. 

Well, I feel so sorry for raining on your parade, Chiz, with all due respect, pero kahit na ilang ikot pa ang daanin ng mundo sa ating solar system, until its end, magpapatuloy ang fundamentality of the mind. "Only the mind is fundamental." -Jesus Christ, ACIM

Kaya tayo nabibiktima ng sosyedad, at large, ay sa kadahilanang lunok lang tayo ng lunok ng kahit na anumang gustong ipakain o gustong ipapaniwala ng mga nakakataas sa atin. Until now, we haven't gone past through our authority issues. And primarily that is because the majority of us do not have yet our very own sovereignty. Tamad tayong mag-isip at gumawa ng research. Wag na tayong magtaka why we are still imprisoned in our mind. 

Now, with the emergence of numerous scientific findings regarding the importance of coherence of the mind, heart, and nervous system, I am finding it a little bit more difficult to instill the matter to effect change for peace in the world. Kung dito pa nga lang hirap na, papaano pa nga kaya kung para sa sanlibutan na ang pangarap nating ito..?🥺

Yesterday was the beginning of my comeback as a part time teacher, for the pre-college, in a seminary here (I was cancelled by the previous rector because we did not share the same frequency unfortunately) and I was grateful to have found out once again that no matter the age, with a heartfelt zest and intention, the fundamentality of the mind explained is totally understood. 

I am glad/thankful always that the same thing happens when I do talks to other ages. Hindi nga kasi nagbabago ang pag-iisip ng tao. Ulit, "only the mind is fundamental." Ang nagiging problema lang naman ay kung pinipili n'ya ang pagiging mangmang na lamang magpakailanman.

Accordingly, science has been here for three hundred years only, while spirituality has been with us since the beginning of time, and its end, if there is. Nag-iibaiba lang tayo sa mga paniniwala natin. But gosh, we are all one and the same.

With the passing of the Age of Pisces (Faith was its central theme) comes the Age of Aquarius which is all about Spirituality. "There are no coincidences nor accidents in life." Was it from St. Theresa of Avila? Di ko na sure. Sigurado lang ako na nothing happens in random. May mga rason sa bawat pangyayari. Just like kailangang magkasunod ang Faith at Spirituality. Kung bakit? 'yan ang challenge ko sa inyo to find out for yourself the reason why. After all we are all called to think deeply and critically simula pa sa panahon ni Hesus. 

Remember.. "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." -Hosea 4:6

Hanggang sa muli mga minamahal!😘💕

Awesome Little Miracles

Yesterday I met someone with almost the same depth and passion I have, we enjoyed talking and sharing life experiences for I don't know exactly how long. This is the beauty of absolute emotional resonance.

Partly, I attributed our warmth in each other's company (even for that very brief initial moment of meeting) to our common denominator of our youth's deeply embedded spirituality. I am overwhelmingly awed in my thoughts that indeed this could maybe be the time of God's promise: meet "my" people.

Life has been pretty lonely lately, especially that I have not been able to completely move on yet from the passing of the most famous and sweetest couple the land has ever had. Who would ever know that they  be the ones who would break the "love template", which resulted in humongous devastation and heartbreaks. 

I was caught by surprise in  finding out the turn of events. Grabe, sobrang naging grabe ang epekto. They got more popular as a couple now that they have returned home, gone to where they truly belong. Love remains, and will definitely do, to be the most amazing thing that will surprise us. And this is just the beginning, I think. Papunta pa lang tayo sa most exciting part.

Going back to my new-found friend. She is relatively young, as is most of my soul tribe, and thus, very ideal when it comes to her relationship goal, not only in effect of the social construct but mainly because it is what it should be. And I bleed this early for her due to that idealism that I could just but secretly sigh and offer her my prayer of "sana nga." May her dream come true albeit the needed info of the knowledge of the self and what love really is. 

Not everything is meant to be said. We wait for God's timing or we disrupt the natural growth meant for an individual. "A soul has its own rhythm." Love does not impose nor pressure. It makes space for people. Hindi ipinipilit ang pag-ibig bagkus ito inuunawa/umuunawa at ay nagbibigay laya. Pag ganyan, natatapos ang usapan ng may peace of mind. Everything is well that ends well.
