GREENS AND SMOG CO-EXIST



GREENS AND SMOG CO-EXIST

Erle Frayne D. Argonza


Calming on a famed bar-resto
In the equally famed Eagle’s Nest of Antipolo
Sippin’ a glass of iced tea to cool
My focals brooked no quarters to feast
On the verdance and panoramic vista
Spread around hills from where I seated
To my back a wall of rock nesting
Another famed restaurant in noble state

Twas a day so clear of clouds a-near
But there afar below the flatlands
O’ Marikina, Manila, Makati & metro spaces
Hover dark malignant shrouds of smog
Blanketing the big city as endowment from Hades
Foreboding deaths unto millions of folks
Whose lungs breath toxic air as free trade

Luck it is that lush surround is retained
Neutralizing Hades’ grave emissions a-clear
And great it is that this city I live anew
Perches Divine Mother as nature’s nurturer
A true shelter indeed from all maelstroms

[Philippines, 19 April 2010]

REFLECTION

Antipolo City is famous as a pilgrimage for the Our Lady of Antipolo, located on a shrine cum cathedral at the city center or downtown. The Divine Lady is therefore the inspirational guide of the city, while travelers adore Her as protector, benefactor, and guide. My Terran family’s home is here today, so I am here too, and I do go around with kins for some get-together or visitations to the Our Lady every now and then.

This once idyllic highland town has become a suburban area where Manilans transfer for residency. It has an area called the Eagle’s Nest at the Sumulong Highway, which is perfect for viewing Manila metropolis down below. The scenery down there is wonderful, with canopies of forests and vegetation rolling down your eyes, interspersed with buildings, homes, and so on. A bit farther down are the component cities of Manila.

However, on a clear day, you could see the smog down there on the Manila side. The sight of pollution is dreadful to behold. It can make your hair rise on all ends, if you are an artistic sensitive type or if you suffer from neurosis. An impeccable example of the ‘unity of opposites’, of ecological balance and pollution co-existing. It is like Reason and the Anti-Reason have gelled so well, they don’t seem to exhibit polarity at all.

In the Teaching, the green facet of life represents the Positive energies; those of smog and pollution, the Negative. Too many big cities across the world today that were once citadels of exquisite planning and greenery, have crossed over the threshold to the Negative. Crimes, traffic jams, pollution, overcrowding, slums all blend to take down the positive in a city and convert it to Hades. Sad, truly sad!

Incidentally, Gaia will ensure that such a situation will cease to exist on 2012 and beyond. That is surely very good news for everyone. Smog, slums, traffic jams, crimes, drugs, overcrowding, urban decay will be a thing of the past in the new cities arising thereafter. Such majesty of the future is a cause for grand celebration.

LIGHTBODY ENABLES JOURNEYS FAR AND WIDE



LIGHTBODY ENABLES JOURNEYS FAR AND WIDE

IN FLIGHT (Poem 6)
Erle Frayne D. Argonza

I shall cross the oceans soon.

I shall bear the basking
Powers of the rain and moisture
Along the cruise

My inner self
Shall be cleansed.

I shall soar high to catch
The warm photons of the Sun
I shall then be assured
Of bright tomorrows.

My spirit will be endowed with boon
As I cross the oceans soon!

As I
Shall cross the oceans,
Cross the oceans
Soon! I

Shall!
[Writ. 22 Aug. 1987, Univ. of the Philippines, Quezon City, M.Manila.]

REFLECTION
Once you ascend spiritually, your Lightbody will be activated. Once done, you will be enabled to traverse spaces at speeds you’ve never imagined before.
As a young man I dreamt of traveling around the world as a social development specialist or ‘development worker’. I felt the great love to serve the peoples of the poorest countries and continents, and help empower the unshod and paupers of those lands. I visualized myself crossing oceans, through meditation practice.
By the time I reached 40, I began to see myself as the Eagle soaring high above the oceans, mountains, valleys, traveling wide swaths of territories. The Eagle is archetype for the mystic, and I re-awakened to my Master awareness by the age of 36. Though my ground level travel dreams were unfulfilled, my flights across wide swaths of oceans and continents were.
Upon the activation of the Lightbody Oversoul in 2008, I noticed an expanded travel across countries on Earth, with me alighting and meeting up with ascended beings in halls and palaces. The color of my visions attained a far more intensity and beauty. Thus, my dreams of travels across countries were fulfilled, even as I continue to travel there to meet my fellow Brothers and Sisters of Light, as well as to talk before seekers and starseeds using my same Lightbody.

NIRVANA MUST BE ACHIEVED IN SOCIAL CONTEXT



NIRVANA MUST BE ACHIEVED IN SOCIAL CONTEXT

IN FLIGHT (Poem 19)
Erle Frayne D. Argonza

Here in the Pearl of the Orient
I’ve met you all of Earth’s social types:
Pauper and wealthy merchant
Fisherfolk, peasant and gentry
Countryfolk, villager and highlander
Craftsman, workingman, magnate, banker
Prostitute, gangster and policeman
Bishop, priest, nun, monk, minister and sinner
Pedagogue, manager and white-collar man
Sailor, bus driver and flyboy
Clerk, bartender and pedlar
Soldier and rebel warrior
Politician, publican and rabble rouser
Idiot, artist, athlete, genius.

Luck-struck! I feel like a star!
An opportuned social alchemist ceaselessly immersed
In all social spaces
Transmuted henceforth!

Rendered flexibly immortal to live and lead
In all imaginable shapes and spheres.

I shall fly so soon.
Scattered are your seeds over
Earth’s living zones
You ramparts of the planet.
[Writ. 30 Aug. 1987, Univ. of the Philippines, Quezon City, M.Manila.]

REFLECTION

In my book Libertosophy & Freethought, I declared the thesis that one must attain self-realization or moksha within a social context. Be where the people are, practice devotion to God by showing devotion to them too, and serve the helpless ones to alleviate their needs and impoverishment. Serve wholeheartedly, and do it in silence.

Ascension that is done in a social context I first termed then as ‘social alchemy’. At a latter time, I coined the term libertosophy to mean a paradigm of spiritual truths, knowledge, wisdom that is suited for an aspirant who moves in the sub-paths of service and enlightened power, such as the social activists of our time.

I never found appreciation for those monks in Tibet who were isolating themselves inside caves and seemingly meditating forever. On the contrary, I disdained such a practice. One need not be a monk in order to ascend and attain moksha, one can isolate the self by living alone in your urban flat, but do not delude yourself with attaining moksha by total isolation.

Be like the proverbial Prometheus, who brought Light to those in need, though you may be challenged by Desire and may buckle down at times (Desire symbolized by the Vulture that pecked Prometheus’ liver while he was tied on a rock). As Jesus urged us, feed the poor, give water to the thirsty. Bring for the Light of truth, knowledge, wisdom to those who are in need, that they too can find balance within them, develop inner peace, and find the Path to nirvana or salvation.
