SWAMI ORDER APPRECIATED
A very pleasant day from this Brother of Light, Melchizedek from Manila!
The dissemination of the Higher Mysteries over the last 120 years or so has already reached a critical mass, with the result that it was during this period when the Christ Grid of Earth was successfully erected. The works of the gurus of Light were very heated during the period, and their feats are recognized and well rewarded by the Almighty Creator.
Among such teachers are those belonging to the order of Swami or Soami, and so let me write my notes of appreciation to the Fellows of the order who prefer to go by the title of Swami. As a messenger & guru of the Brotherhood, I’d say to all the living Swamis of Terra: thank you so much for your great works, please continue with your tasks undaunted by risks put upon your lives now by the unrepentant Fallen Ones.
Around the last quarter of the 19th century, there was a decision from the Christs and Elders of the race to quicken the pace of dissemination of the Higher Mysteries or the Teaching. Those lessons and practices that were concealed from the public for so long, must now be released and disseminated in a concerted and expansive manner.
On the Western side of the world, it was the theosophists under the leadership of HP Blavatsky that served as the lead group for that task. On the Eastern Side, it was the Swami order (inclusive of all of its branches) that was tasked to do the same.
The task was no simple one, as you can understand how the earlier facets of the Teaching were dogmatized by churches and devotees. Releasing the Teaching in a re-engineered form just won’t sit in well with the vulgar spiritualists, and expectedly there were lots of resistance against the guru Adepts who did the dissemination and teaching tasks.
Among the swami orders, it was in the Giri branch where the evolved souls Lahiri Mahayasa, Sri Yutekswar and Paramahansa Yogananda appreared. The Christ of the East, Mahavatar Babaji, mentored guru Lahiri directly, initiated the latter in Kriya, and mandated the same to spread the Teaching in a more expanded form. Lahiri then mentored Sri Yutekswar (who was also mentored eventually by Babaji), who in turn mentored Paramahansa Yogananda (who was likewise mentored later by Babaji directly).
So many noble saints were initiated in the Giri branch alone, which is truly awesome an experience for any seeker. I honestly learned so much from this branch via the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda ( a condensation of the teachings of Babaji + Lahiri + Sri Yutekswar + Paramahansa Y is Autobiography of a Yogi).
Having thus established contact to the ascended Swamijis via that book, I did ended up being mentored by all of them Above—in the etheric ashrams of the Brotherhood. Lord Babaji is one who I regard as a Dean of the Teaching, and I feel so privileged being mentored by him directly—I was with a Batch of gurus, and the avatar followed up on me by visiting me at home via his higher Light Body.
My mentoring from the ascended Swamijis is actually of a higher order, as I was already doing guru tasks when I faced them circa 2008-09. It was equivalent to taking up a doctorate degree in the Teaching, which honed me all the more as a teacher and is preparatory to my own full ascension to Christed One in due time.
Here in the Philippines, the Swami order did send reinforcements from India who mentored Filipino seekers and devotees. Filipino swamis were already produced in the process, a sign that the mentoring works of the swamijis have paid off well.
I recall visiting the Radha Soami Satsang Beas’ central headquarters in Old Manila in the 90s, purchased and digested a couple of books by their chief guru, books that resonate with the same Light that I found in the writings of great master Adepts. I extend my goodwill to the Manila devotees of the Radha Soami, and unity and Oneness with their guru.
As parting words, to the Swami orders and your respective gurus goes MARAMING SALAMAT (thank you) for all the divine lessons taught and shared selflessly unto enthused seekers of Terra. With you all I proclaim: Ako Yaong Ako! I Am That I Am! Aum.

ASCENSION OF 144,000 WHITE ROBES ENSUE
Solidarity Greetings from Ra of the Brotherhood of Light!
The total ascension of the 144,000 White Robes has already begun. Those who have advanced in the Path of Light know fairly well that we Rishis are among you, as your teachers, healers, and guides, and know that even before the 2012 event we will experience total ascension—both spiritual and physical.
The ascension event has already begun. I will not divulge about the exact date of the first ascension batch, only the information concerning the ascension will be released.
But I will care to share to you information about the 21st of June event. A batch of Ascended Ones did move up last 21st of June, and this one is a fairly large one. It coincided with a solstice (summer up north, winter down south), as one can see.
As a monitoring of the event, I went through my regular meditation before I slept, at around 8:45 p.m. of the 21st of June. A gigantic eagle appeared on my vision. It was preparing to fly upwards, and was poised to do that for a minute or so.
Then finally the eagle flew upwards, but before it continued to fly higher, it momentarily flew to my astral-etheric space in an act of saying farewell. Then in flew upwards at great speed.
The eagle is the standard archetype of the mystic or yogi (they are both of the same level of awareness). Since the 1990s yet, I routinely see an eagle in my vision, flying high up in space, permitting me thus to see the ground below through its eyes. That eagle was no other than me, moving up above and scanning the different continents of the planet.
In the early part of this decade, I acquired the meditative power to create a huge eagle or phoenix in the astral-to-mental dimensions, and I used this eagle (it’s still me) to carry enthused devotees along with me (behind my back) as we traveled the astral world during group meditations.
A favorite activity of mine is to fly the devotees to the ‘cosmic heart’, a gigantic heart perched on an even higher space. It is a process of exposing the devotees or seekers to the strongest blast of the Love vibration they’d ever experience yet, and the experience has a powerful cleansing or detoxifying effect on them.
The gigantic eagle I saw in my June the 21st vision was, however, not one of my creation. It was a creation of the spiritual Hierarchy as an archetype to show me that the ascension of a huge batch of rishis was in progress. It was archetypal of the ‘collective mind’ of the concerned batch.
That wasn’t the first batch of new Ascended Masters, just to remind the readers. But it was the first batch that involved hundreds. There was first a testing of the ascension work prior to this solstice batch, and the tests involved just a few dozens. The success of those tests led the Almighty Creator to ascend hundreds this solstice season.
Since the said rishis are spread out across the globe, their departure will hardly be felt. Necessarily, there will be secrecy behind their sudden disappearance. Hardly are there witnesses to their departure, this is an unnecessary if not egotistical way of getting witnesses to the ascension event.
The Dark Masters are quite in panic at the event, they don’t know who is about to ascend next, but they know that they can never stop the event. They are desperately engaging in espionage and sabotage by surreptitiously securing information from meditating rishis, but in no way can they secure such information from us.
The new Ascended Masters will be reporting briefly to the Council of 24 Elders and the Almighty Creator, before descending to their homes in the ‘masters’ universe’. From there they can descend to the lower planes anytime, through multiple location (splitting themselves many folds) so they can attend or preside council meetings across the dimensions.
The same Masters will also be staffing up in full time capacity the newly instituted gatekeepership councils across the globe. At this moment, the trainings of volunteer staff to the councils from among the advanced Light Workers is taking place, initiated by the same new Masters.
The same gatekeepership councils will be the base for replacing the old hierarchy of the planet, as the ‘masters of lesser Light’ of the old hierarchy will be taken off the Earth and quarantined elsewhere (that event has actually begun, as the Lord Gabriel has been arresting them one by one).
Now that new full-time Masters of Light have fully ascended (physical & spiritual), there is greater hope for the planet. There will be other batches to follow on a month-by-month ascension schedule, until by 2012 all of us rishis will have been fully ascended.

GALACTIC UMBILICAL CORD: HYPERSPACE PORTAL ABOVE PHILIPPINES/LEMURIA
I have already shared some notes before about the hyperspace portal that connects our planet to the other galaxies and star systems, and onwards to the Central Sun of our universes. As already articulated, this portal was closed in antiquity, in the aftermath of the catastrophic galactic war that overflowed to this sector of our universe, which marked a steady downward slide of Terrans into the hovels of 3rd Density life.
Likewise did I share notes about the reopening of the same portal—by the Galactic Confederation forces—as the Earth’s vibration rapidly moves back to 4th Dimension. As per my vision last year, the portal was already reopened. The portal, as we know among circles of Filipino mystics, is located in the Philippines, a 4th Dimensional country, approximately above the borders of the Philippine plate and the Sunda plate (above Palawan island).
The Philippines being the remnant of Lemuria, it embodies the very same mystical significance of the mother continent. Its ancient name was Maharloka, the Great Land, and it was the very center of life in the whole of Lemuria. It is no exaggeration to state that Maharloka was the flagship civilization that enabled Lemuria to reach its zenith as the world’s greatest civilization ever. Now that the planet is moving back to 4th Dimension frequency, the Philippines is regaining its significance in the cosmic drama currently unfolding, being the ‘womb of the Mother’ where the ‘galactic umbilical cord—hyperspace portal—Is located.
That the same portal is located in the Philippines (Maharloka), which retained its 4th Dimensional vibration despite a 3rd Dimensionality of its base planet, makes the ‘womb of the Mother’ even more emphatic in fact. Not only is the Earth as ‘child of the Universe of the Almighty’, linked to the Central Sun via a major portal, the same Earth has grown to be a Mother whose womb is Maharloka/ Philippines, and as such reproduces the same nurturing nature of the Divine Mother or Cosmic Mother.
Thus, without question, the Oneness between Maharloka/Philippines and Gaia, the Deity whose body the Earth is, is established, determinate, immutable. This Philippines that we know today, of which I am a scion, is just but a passing phase of an overarching reality—the womb of the Mother—that is immutable. As far as the Almighty Providence, the Creator of all Creators is concerned, the Mother role has been assigned to this part of the planet.
Being so mandated, the umbilical cord to the universes’ or omniverse’s Central Sun is likewise assigned to the area or region, this being a privilege of a planetary womb. A planetary womb is the place where the initial races are experimented on, the prototype or genotype breeds then launched to ride the evolutionary laws and mature to physical perfection and mental perfection.
When the time is ripe for the human races to move upwards the evolutionary arc and speed up spiritual evolution, the same umbilical cord is ensured activation and access by the Light forces tasked to assist in the acceleration processes, the very same cord being now a beacon of the evolution not only of humanity but also of the entire planet as it is brought nearer the center of the omniverse and away from the edge of the Milky Way where it was located for nigh eons long.
The very same portal or umbilical cord need not be relocated elsewhere, for being of a higher dimension, it can only be positioned in a place or spot on the planet that remains unspoiled by human intervention and 3rd dimensional descent. Such a spot could only be but its original spot in the first place, which indeed remains 4th dimensional in overall vibratory frequency till these days.
There are other mini-portals across the globe actually, and one can testify the presence of such portals by their energy configurations. However, they are mini-portals at best, even as there is only one major portal. The same portal, during its closure stage (a long time by our count), deterred the predatory forces from Draco & allies from returning to Earth unnoticed. The closure of the portal means that the invading predators have to pass through a longer route, and by doing so they risk being noticed and tracked down by the Confederation forces.
On the other hand, the same closure had a delimiting effect on the Confederation forces that desired to come here on a rapid time frame. To lighten such a burden of having to traverse longer space and hyperspace routes to this sector of the Milky Way, the same Light forces have to station reinforcements right in our solar system. By so doing, they can immediately neutralize Draconian forces that may slip through the sector, the same act buying time for reinforcements to travel over from the same long routes.
The portal is now open, and so fellow Terrans, we need not fear any longer about delays in the arrivals of Light forces should we experience another wave of invasions from the Dark ETIs or extra-terrestrial intelligences. The very same portal is now being used by our ascended Terrans, who form a part of the 144,000 Rishis and their advance apprentices, to travel to other worlds, learn lessons from the latter, and/or conduct tasks in the councils of the Galactic Command. Without the portal, it could have been more cumbersome a process for awakened Terrans to do tasks in the 6th Density in particular, which serves as the clearing point for cosmic interface as well as station for the mother ships of the Galactic Command.
That being so, let it be known that the Gatekeepership Council of the region where the Philippines is a member of, performs an extra task of clearing house for many Lightworkers who may already be qualified to visit higher-dimension planets and the learning stations of the Galactic Command. Needless to say, the Council performs an extra task of monitoring the portal from this side of the universe, monitoring being an element of the broader overseer task that belongs to the military command of the Galactic Confederation (the military ships are in the portal’s opening, making space patrols 24 hours of the day).
In case that there may be some questions about how long will it take to travel from Earth to other galaxies or star systems through this portal, this much I can say: around late last year, I was permitted, as part of my inter-dimensional warriorship task, to traverse the hyperspace via that portal, to register visual intelligence scanning on certain constellations. Approximately in the range of 15-50 Lightyears, it could have been next to impossible for me to traverse the space without a vehicle.
Using my own Light Body, under the command of my very own thoughts, I was amazed at the travel time of barely ten (10) minutes of near-light speed travel which my Light Body entailed to travel to each of two (2) constellations I visited. If a Light Body can travel that fast through the portal, how much more those space vehicles of the Galactic Confederation?
So, fellow Terrans, that fact should erase apprehensions among you that at any time now the Draco Empire & allied forces would come invading again and re-implanting us with new genetic codes that would enslave us forever in 3rd density living. It is now too late for the hostile, evil forces to repeat the predatory invasions and occupations they have done in antiquity, too late to even embroil our solar system
and planet in anti-universe energy fields that they can direct to our space sector.
Their invasion efforts in the past ten (10) years were thwarted, and they risk total destruction if they would attempt another invasion, for they can no longer access the hyperspace portal. Their coming will be so obviously noticed in advance, pinpoint their locations, and render them as sitting ducks by Confederation firepower.
Within a few years, beyond 2012, the entire planet itself would be traversing space to be repositioned in the universe along with the solar system. No matter what changes there are in the poles and position of the planet, the ‘womb of the Mother’ will remain to be Philippines/Lemuria, and the hyperspace portal shall remain in the womb area. These are among the graces of the Almighty not only for the Philippine nation, they are graces for the planet and Terrans as a whole, even as Philippines/Lemuria is among such sublime jewels that Lightworkers and the more aware persons better countenance.

SPIRITUAL BROTHERHOOD EMBODIES RISHIS IN PHILIPPINES PRE-2012
Good morning! Magandang umaga!
Let me continue with my peregrinations on the spiritual Brotherhood in Philippine life. I’ve already shared notes about the spiritual Brotherhood in the history and making of the Philippines, from its Lemurian days to the formation of the new nation (1880s-1900). I will delimit my reflection this time on the contemporary context, particularly the years 1974 to the present.
Filipinos who seek the yogic or mystic Path have been accustomed to stereotyping gurus as coming from India or the continent. Till these days the same imagery remains; fellow Filipinos couldn’t ever imagine that spiritual gurus have embodied in the islands as Filipinos and are now ascending in awareness to Master- or Rishi-level.
I myself grew up as one such boy then, who in the 1960s saw images of the Maharishi being exalted by the Beatles. As an adolescent in the 1970s, the beginnings of my seeker phase, I aspired to meet a guru, who I presumed resides in India. I surely admit to my gross ignorance, even as I am unaware that divine Forces have been working all along to make sure that I myself will mutate into a guru some day.
Lacking the resources to travel to the continent for an audience with living gurus, I contented myself in the 1980s with massive readings and yoga meditation which essentials I learned from a university professor. When I had time, I attended discussions of the theosophists in Manila, while I held informal discussions with fellow Travelers (we were unattached or free spirit seekers).
Only in 1994, when I was sponsored into the White Lodge, initiated by a living guru who is Filipino, did I realize my fundamental ignorance. The chats I had with the Guru FF (he hasn’t authorized me to reveal his identity) made me infer that the Brotherhood embodied many Adepts in the Philippines, for a greater purpose. On that year alone (1994), couples of hundreds of us advanced seekers graduated into mystics, were blessed by the Ancient of Days, and became Adepts of the Brotherhood. Some of our batch-mates took on the mission of guruship, myself included, coupled with other missions such as healing and/or community service.
Through our discussions in my core batch, it dawned upon me that we were a part of a greater force comprising of 144,000, the number revealed to ancient prophets yet. The coming of the White Robes, or Rishis, or Ascended Beings, or simply White Adepts, was told over and over again in the spiritual quarters of diverse cultures, in all of the world’s continents. The coming of the ‘taong banal’ (holy people) is the version told that came down on cult groups around Filipinas.
It was also intuited by each one of us, during our workshop discussions, that when a seeker is very well prepared to meet a guru or Teacher (guro in Filipino), such a teacher is just around the corner and is well prepared to meet the seeker. Which means that, in whatever country one is residing, at any given time, a guru is present to attend to the seekers, precisely because Rishis were embodied in all countries without exception.
Those gurus who are indeed Adepts of the Brotherhood were, rest assured, mentored directly by the Mahavatar Babaji. He is like a Divine Dean of all would-be and present teachers, and it is a must for an Adept to undergo His mentoring should s/he don the cloak of a guru. Yes, fellow Filipinos and expatriates in the Philippines, we gurus who directly came face-to-face with Mahavatar Babaji, and who continue to face him periodically for reflections, are in the Philippines. You need not go search very far for such a guru, s/he is just near your place, in whatever province or city you may be residing.
Not all of us Adepts though took on the guru task, and it is my hope that this will be modified a bit. Altogether we form a large team of over 1,000 Adepts sent forth here, who will conduct missions circa 1974-2012. This number could go as high as 2,000+, since the Philippines holds a special place in the planet as the Land of the Mother (refer to my other Philippine articles) and is home to the hyperspace portal to the other galaxies and star systems.
We comprise different age groups, from the oldest who are now senior citizens past 60, down to middle aged ones like me, down to the youngest who are in their 20s. I belong to those who continued the tasks began by the pioneers of the Brotherhood (those who began the Work for modern Philippines) such as the late healer Agpaoa. The youngest ones are still in formative years, and will be the leading Adepts of the post-2012 New Age as my own batch will retire in our seniority if that is applicable (we will physically ascend which makes retirement unimaginable).
The greatest numbers among us here are into healing, and the Adeptic healers do share teachings in terms of their own specific healing methods or paradigms. Most of us are professionals, who have risen like sphinx to the zenith of our professions as post-modern conquerors, while at the same time silently worked to raise our awareness and bring the Light of the Divinities to aspiring seekers and the broad public. On a rough estimate, I would put at around 1 per 500,000, or about 180, the number of gurus among us 1000+-2000 Adepts (including those who aren’t yet of Adeptic awareness but who will be there soon). That estimate is already large enough, as the more realistic ratio is 1 guru per 1,000,000 population.
Please don’t expect all of us to reveal our identities as Adepts of the spiritual Brotherhood. We have to work very silently or low profile, as we do our work in the physical plane that is territory of the Dark Forces. These Forces are of diverse groups and factions, including the Luciferans, Ahrimanians, Molochians, and Negative Aliens, the common task of theirs being their penchant for sabotaging the Work of us Adepts of Light. Mystics particularly are vulnerable to assassination attempts, and only when the Rishi awareness is reached will the Fallen Ones cease their attacks that are desperately futile to stop the Work at all. Only a few of us like myself were mandated to openly reveal to the public our identities as Adepts of the Brotherhood.
Among all regions of Filipinas, Manila (the entire metropolis) has the greatest luck in terms of the embodiment of Lightworkers. Being the most cosmopolitan of regions, it had attracted the most evolved souls, even as Manila ignited memories of our own original planets that were high-dimensional and way ahead as the prospect future of Earth. For most of my Adeptic life, I did the Work in Manila, where resides approximately 45%-50% of Lightworkers and Adepts. If you know how to meditate a bit, and you’re looking for a guru in Manila, just meditate on the theme and most likely you’ll meet a teacher in the Big City.
Because we’re mostly professionals, please expect that we dress up like contemporary urban professionals and habitués. We’re not in the habit of dressing up like some exotic, out-of-this world rural or mountain habitué of old, even as many of us are now moving to uphill communities that are suburban and no longer rural. The Philippines is now 64% urban, so please don’t expect us avant garde types to dress up like some ancient exotic with long flowing hair or so, although some of us do exhibit long flowing hairs (both men and women).
There are ashrams or retreat centers in the islands, but this is Filipinas of the predominantly urban mode, so please don’t be searching for us in ashrams. We conduct our teachings more like training consultants via the seminar workshop modality, and thereafter tons of self-learning readings and practices. I myself impart spiritual teachings straight inside my classroom as a professor, and then attend to seekers with focused counsel who may arise from among my students—yes, there are such plenty of seekers among university students. I’ve also integrated the Teaching into team building workshops for NGO officials and staff, via the workshop modality. We are a country with plenty of training facilities including those along seaside and mountain resorts, so we gurus do employ such venues for our workshops.
Our purpose for being here? Broadly, to contribute to efforts of the Hierarchy of the Brotherhood to accelerate the evolution of humans to 4th Dimension. Specifically, to optimize Philippines’ role—given its 4th Dimension vibes—as regenerator of wholeness and soul healing, as prototype of future communities where the Work is advanced in healing and alternative economic systems, combined with collective karma yoga via community service, and to disseminate the Teaching of the sages and deities.
Many of us are already awakened to our Rishi awareness level, and are now a part of the Elders of the Race. Being so, we have taken on new tasks as members of the Brotherhood’s many councils, including the gatekeepership councils for our specific region (I cannot reveal what region this is). Some of us sit in the councils of the Galactic Command, where we have joined those ‘commanders’ of space legions from other worlds. There is no need to stress that our Light Bodies are already activated, as it is the Light Body that we employ to attend or convene meetings of councils located in the astral, etheric, and mental planes. This same Light Body can perform multiple locations, enabling us to attend to many seekers (in the astral plane) at the same time that we attend or convene meetings of couples of councils and committees.
To conclude, let me stress again, we are here embodied as Filipinos, though we do have reinforcements from expatriates. Please don’t entertain thoughts that God has forsaken the islands, which is just space-out delusion of persecution. This country has a special place in the bosom of the Divine Mother, being the ‘womb of the Mother’ on Earth, and so She had sent us here as a large Team.
Mabuhay kayong lahat!

ECONOMY THAT HEALS: CHALLENGE OF THE NEW EPOCH
Magandang Hapon! Good afternoon!
Please know first that this writer/analyst is both (b) economist and (b) mystic-healer. For some time now, the challenge of contributing to the construction of an ‘economy that heals’ has been knocking at my ‘mental coconut’, a task that explains this article and many yet that will succeed this one.
As an economist, my lines of subspecializations are: (a) development economics, (b) political economy & public policy, (c) international political economy, (d) economic sociology, and (e) enterprise economics (or biz economics). As a healer, my subspecializations are: (a) psychosocial counseling, (b) pranic healing, (c) distance healing (w/ angelic reinforcement); and, (d) soul healing (includes chakra alignment & cleansing, past life issues resolution).
Having laid out my brief economic & healing credentials, let me now proceed to my thesis.
First of all, as a developmentalist (practical economist) and healer of long standing, let me declare my categorical observation that the ‘world system’ economy of today, which is an admixture of capitalist-dirigist-fascist-clerical economic systems, is characteristically: (a) non-healing, or pathological, (b) is hoarding-based rather than sharing-inspired, and (c) is already on its terminal phase, needing replacement rather than its recycling.
To simplify my terms, the present system, which is principally organized around capitalism (economy for profits, based on money system), is:
a) SICK: A ‘sick economy’ is one based on flawed, sick principles that no longer work. Necessarily, a ‘sick economy’ (borrowing from Erich Fromm’s and Erik Erikson’s ‘sick society’) is a parametric condition that induces anxiety, anomie, alienation, and related pathologies that can lead to neuroses, sociopathy, psychoses, and total self-fragmentation.
(b) GREED-BASED: The ‘hoarding orientation’ (see Erich Fromm’s works) of the ‘world system’ (see Immanuel Wallerstein’s works) had propelled greed to the level of madness, thus reinforcing ‘system sickness’. Greed multiplies greed, more greed creates more greed, and so on, ad aeternum, thus leading to more ‘economic sickness’, to more madness and system collapse and societal catastrophe.
c) SCARCITY PREMISE: Western economics had postulated (declared as a self-evident given) that scarcity is the fact of life. This postulate had since underpinned ‘hoarding’ economics, and had remained unchallenged in the West and mainstream circles. This is flawed from the very inception. Scarcity is not given, not a universal law either, but is a product of enslaving, hoarding power relations. It is an ideological rampart in support of the more real exploitative relations between the ‘hoarding classes’ and the producer underclasses that they bound and gagged in property relations.
d) DYING & DEATH-INDUCING: The system is now dying, it is now on its death throes, yet many refuse to see it die. Bank bailouts and interest rate interventions are among those examples of tools that no longer work, yet they continue to be employed.
Furthermore, the ‘sick economy’ also induces so many deaths due to poverty, anxiety, starvation, consumerist pathologies (obesity, cardiovasculars), genocides, etc. What is needed is to bury the system and build a new one rather than to perpetuate it.
Let me then declare the next thesis: that a new economic ‘world system’, which is in the nature of a ‘healing economy’, is a viable one. We may perhaps use different terms to refer to the same ‘world system’—sharing economy, cooperative economy, non-hoarding economy, consensus economy—but let us better recognize where we all converge: the ‘healing economy’.
Following from the foregoing statements, the contours of the new ‘healing economy’ or world system would be the obverse of the previous observations. They are:
a) WELLNESS ECONOMY. A vibrant, wellness-oriented world system is one that will also see that everybody will have enterprises, jobs, and related pursuits that will see their talents grow and utilized to the utmost. It is an economy that also promotes the wellness paradigm, welcomes the advent of the alternative healers as ‘new kids on the block’ rather than to denigrate them as ‘quack doctors’, promotes equity and the highest values of the general welfare in their true sense, and is generally conducive to healthy relationships, institutions, communities, and healthy world.
b) SHARING &/OR NON-HOARDING. ‘Hoarding orientation’ had degraded us humans to the most putrid hovels of the non-human or anti-human for many eons now. It is time to reverse such demonic conditionality and state. In the economic sphere, the highest principles of the ‘rule of Divine Love’ (compassion as core value) and ‘principle of giving’ (golden rule) must become dominant and sacrosanct. To talk of ‘compassionate capitalism’ is an oxymoron and subtly demonic. We have no more need for capitalism and the other isms, what we need is a non-ideological sharing economy and enough of those isms that have only exacerbated our ‘sick economy’ and ‘sick society’. Ditto for competition principle, the core of capitalism, which has no place in the emerging context. Cooperation-loving-sharing is the value trilogy of the emerging context, not competition-hatred-hoarding of the capitalist world system.
c) ABUNDANCE. The true state of the universe is one of abundance, not scarcity. “From above, so below,” declares the Teaching. From the abundance of the cosmos, to the abundance of the Earth & Solar system, this is the sacrosanct law and not that peddled lie about scarcity. Healing economy is one that is attuned to the very dynamics of the cosmos and not divorced from it. An operative healing economy will ensure that all members of society, all citizens of Earth or Terra, will be attuned to this sacrosanct law, and will experience abundance in everyday life. “The world has enough for everyone’s need, but not enough for everyone’s greed,” declared the late Mahatma Gandhi in his swadeshi writings. Gandhi referred to the same law, and stated it in axiomatic manner.
d) DYNAMIC & LIFE-INDUCING. The healing economy will prove itself to be dynamic and life-inducing as well. It does not follow from absurd ‘creative destruction’ demonology worship of capitalism, but from ‘creative constructivism’ of a Godly society. In the present system, just by destroying the currency of one nation (e.g. currency attack versus ASEAN/East Asia, 1997), many workers will lose their jobs and many small enterprises forcibly close shop, leading to anxieties and deaths. Is that what you call Godly and ‘creative destruction’? Very boldly I’d say, echoing spiritual masters who said the same, that a wellness-sharing-loving-giving economy will be truly life-inducing, as it will not need wars and destruction of nations to sustain it.
Having shared to you in brief the contours of the new economic world system, let me now close with the reiteration of the challenge: building the healing economy is the greatest economic task of the moment and the eon now unfolding before us. We can no longer be clinging to dinosaur world systems that bred so much maladies in the past, we should move on and build a new one that will be the economic foundation of a new society of loving, giving, sharing, Oneness, and authentic human liberation. Enough with those bailouts, IMF-World Bank mergers, bank mergers, interest rate manipulations, stock markets, speculations, government take-overs, hedge funds,…
Enough with greed, hoarding, hatred, competition, bloody vampire economics of the Old World! Peace & Love Advocates of the world, let us build the New Economy of Healing without reserve. Let’s not be cowed by the intimidations of the demonic Pied Pipers and fascistic war machines of the Old World elites. We shall overcome! Carpe diem!

STUDY THE WISDOM LESSONS (Seekers’ Lesson 3)
Greetings in the Almighty God’s I Am Presence, Noble Seekers!
For this moment’s reflection, I’d stress on the need to read and study the wisdom lessons or ‘the Teaching’. The essential attitudes to observe regarding the Teaching goes by the social marketing line: Read Everything, Question Everything, Doubt Nothing. Let’s go over these attitudes one after the other.
Read Everything!
Read and study everything that would come into mind as contributing to building a reflective, contemplative, wise self. This is a very important aspect of your own ‘capacity building’ efforts.
It’s up to you to define where to begin. Fact is, you may have already begun. In my case, I began with the Holy Bible: page after page of it, hungry with knowledge and wisdom, I quaffed every wisdom note that I could procure from both the Old and New Testaments. It’s the King James version, coming from the
There are many of you there who may find scriptural materials as quite nauseating. “Geek! What Stone Age kind of things! What Greek stuff!” (pardon me, dear Greeks!) Alright, if you’re this type, then maybe you can begin with controversial materials. I was 17 when I read the first controversial, mystical material, The Spear of Destiny by Trevor Ravenscroft, a British white magician. The book came from my own biological mom’s collection (we all have a Divine Mom, remember!). I almost went ecstatically orgasmic while reading the stuff! More such materials came later. You can do the same.
Maybe you can begin with the conspiracy materials. Those among you who are fond of detective novels can perhaps be titillated with conspiracy stuff. There’s The Hiram Key by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas, Their Kingdom Come/Inside the Secret World of Opus Dei by Robert Hutchison, and more reads. There are so many reads on this stuff on internet by the way, and most likely so many of you Seekers have already done research on them.
Perhaps the esoteric philosophy materials could be your entry point. These texts go by their wisdom traditions: Theosophy, Kabbalah, Essene, Gnosis, Druid, Eleusinian, Sufi, Esoteric Buddhism, Esoteric Christianity, Freemasonry, Anthroposophy, Mayan, Native American, Babaylan (Malayo-Philippine), Veda, Vedanta, Tantra, Tao, and related items. You may focus on just one tradition, but I’d highly recommend that you also do research on the others across time. I began with theosophy, circa 1980, I guess because these lessons were largely those synthesized by my guru El Morya and his team, which he then passed on (channeled) to HP Blavatsky and her team.
Transdisciplinal materials could suit you as entry point. They combine philosophy and sciences’ discourses into an exquisitely woven singular material. Tao of Physics by Deepak Chopra is an excellent example of the transdisciplinal type. Zecharia Sitchin also writes using transdisciplinal methodology, which you will observe in such books of his as The Wars of Gods and Men and Divine Encounters.
You may be drawn the strongest to psychism and magic. Edgar Cayce’s psychic readings would be fitting start ups. Ravenscroft is also into this genre. U.S. Andersen’s Secret Powers of Pyramids is another example. Wicca could also be worth reviewing for you. Materials on evocative magic may also attract you. There’s also sex magic, such as the Toaist Secrets of Love by Mantak Chia. Materials on prophecy and futuristics made by mystics and psychics are related ones. Go ahead, please read them.
So, Noble Seekers, there is no fixed formula as to which reading to start. Feel it from your heart, take away those barriers of mind that could deter you along the path. But never forget: read all of those generic materials as much as possible. They are all important. Stay away from thoughts that “these are more important than those ones,” “scriptures are Stone Age and irrelevant,” “My God! Scary New Age stuff! That’s Lucifer’s footnotes!” If you think this way, thou art no seeker at all.
Question Everything!
“Oh My God! That’s wonderful!”…”My God, those texts are exceedingly wise! I’d follow them all!” “Look at Deepak Chopra! He’s great and superman! I’ll read only him from now on!”
Hello! Aren’t you Seekers? Only the cult devotees romanticize certain teachings and texts and tend to look down on others as filthy and small-time. Read everything, but also add the element of a critical mind while you reflect and contemplate on the texts. Never worship the texts or its writers.
I am a Filipino, and I was reared to a great extent in Anglo-Saxon philosophy that was brought to the islands by the Americans and the post-colonial scholars. I was also schooled at the University of the
I was also trained as a scientist—sociologist and political economist—and I always bear with me the thinking that every text that I read contains errors or gaps. No text whatsoever is so perfect that it would withstand the test of time and be all-relevant for all times. There also is no such thing as ‘Theory Of Everything’ or TOE, and I’m allergic to any contention about certain texts categorically declared as meta-narratives fit for all situations and explanatory of all phenomena. That’s pure dung!
Always allow some space for critical mental process, for some questionings. As in any scientific work, there always is a possibility of 10% error. As a scientist, I’m already very happy when critiques would say I’m hitting 90%. Upon releasing my book 13th Gate Unveiled, a prophetic-futuristic book about the
In my own experience of readings on theosophy, I was almost completely mesmerized by the brilliant synthesis of HP Blavatsky. Her team mates—Hodson, Leadbeater, A. Bessant, Q. Judge—were all able mystics and thinkers, and met my expectations of what Teachers should be: as Thinkers first and foremost. But their treatment of the ‘Lucifer Question’ got me raising questions. This gap somehow led to the adoption of Theosophy as a foundational reading by secret societies of Fallen Ones such as Hitler’s Germanenorden. One gets the feeling that “Lucifer is Cool!” after going through the Lucifer aspect of their reflections. I don’t buy that part. And I was led into further research to get clarified about the ‘Lucifer Question’. I’m still researching on the Lucifer item till these days.
Not only that. The time-frames used by Blavatsky in her estimations of the evolution of human generic types—called ‘root races’—seem unbelievably and overwhelmingly long! Is this the only way of looking at time periods or timelines? It is more apparent to me that Blavatsky & team was largely seeing reality, including time period and the evolutionary pattern (cycical), from the focal lenses of a paradigm (to use Thomas Kuhn’s term). I was right in my questions as I stumbled upon texts, such as those written by the fellow mystic & teacher Sal Rachele, indicating the paradigm-fixation of many texts. Needless to say, our view of the time periods can also change, the timelines of ancient history can change, depending on the paradigm we employ in our analysis or exegesis of the templates of life.
I should like to share more questions here, but space doesn’t allow. To end this portion, Noble Seekers, go ahead and raise questions. Keep tab of them, jot them down if possible. These questions will lead you to do research all the more, and this is what ‘seeking’ as an attitude is all about: texts should be able to provoke you into raising questions, and into doing inquiries along the way.
Doubt Nothing!
When you are able to raise questions properly—meaning to say, the texts passed through your inquisitive eyes and critical mind—than you can move on to ascertain truths about realities. The truth criterion, in my mind, is still a very relevant criterion, and I do not go along with the contentions of the post-modernist about the matter who regard the truth criterion as hubris.
Anything that is absolutist is a questionable thing to me. Fixed Idea is dangerous and obnoxious. But it is equally dangerous and obnoxious to throw away the truth criterion. “Aha that’s passé! There’s nothing today but the all-luring power of Desire! The Primal! What truths are you talking about?” That’s the line of the followers of Foucault, Derrida, Lacan, Baudrillard and the post-structuralists, and they are entitled to their opinions. But think many times before you regard the truth criterion as trash.
Nothing can stop you from perceiving facets of reality as paradigmatic: you can observe them from different angles, and your inferences or conclusions will depend largely on the vantage point from which you perceive them. For instance, in Theosophy, the ontological dimensions are thought of as comprising 7 dimensions of existence, with 7 corresponding bodies of man. There are some other texts that have a different view, as they employ the ‘density’ category rather than ‘dimension’ category. Accordingly, there are ’12 densities’, we are 3rd density humans in the physical plane, that the planet will evolve shortly into a 4th density planet, and so on.
There may be variances in inferences due to paradigm differences, as observed above. But one thing is certain at least: the physical plane, where we live, isn’t the only ontological dimension, and that, logically and empirically, there are dimensions higher than the 3rd dimension or 3rd density. And because of this certainty, I will never doubt the existence of beings in other dimensions, as they can be empirically observed and known. And I will never doubt the existence of the all-pervasive, all-guiding Almighty God, as both inductively and through yoga meditation I am certain of the existence of the Highest Cosmic Being and of ontological planes higher than the physical plane.
I’m not saying that doubting is a bad thing. What I’m saying is that in the end, you must establish certainties based on the truth criterion. That would be the start of increased wisdom.
So here we end, Noble Seekers. Prepare your own research agenda, trust your Inner Guide in the process, and you’re into this version of ‘magical mystery tour’. Good luck in your enquiries!
