TAGALOG CREATION MYTH: LEMURIAN & COSMIC REVELATIONS

Erle Frayne D. Argonza / Ra

Magandang araw! Good day! Buenos dias!

This time around, I’ll share to you the cosmic-galactic facet of the Tagalog creation myth. As I’ve already elaborated elsewhere, the Malays (of whom Tagalogs form a part of) were created by a cross-galactic race (light-skinned) from out of the Lemurian descendants (dark-skinned), thus producing a tanned race that was lighter than the Lemurians.

Being a new breed then of Pacificians (from the Pacific Ocean), the Malays belonged squarely to the last races of the Atlantean ‘root race’ (see H.P. Blavatsky’s Secret Doctrine). They were bred almost at the same time as the White race that was a hybrid of light-skinned cross-galactic humans and the red-skinned Atlanteans.

To go back to the Tagalog creation myth, let me quote from a previous article: “The myth goes that there was once a bamboo floating listlessly by the oceans. The bamboo finally ceased to float as it landed on a coast in the Philippines. As it did so, a white dove flying above descended on the bamboo and pecked it accordingly. The bamboo then split, and out came Malakas and Maganda. The Filipinos are their descendants.” (See “Tagalog Creation Myth: Science of Birthing Revealed.”)

That being the synopsis of the mythos, let me re-stress that it is a coded message about the birthing of the Tagalogs/Malays. This time, the cosmic-galactic facet will be taken as the paradigm base. Let me take up the signifiers (code items) one by one:

• Ocean/sea mystically refers to the unconscious or ‘causal plane’ element. That was where the ‘bamboo’ came from, to note. It means the awareness level of the Malays and their breeders corresponded to that level (7th Density at least) before the descent of humanity to its low 3rd Density level today.

• Ocean also indicates the mass inundation of the Earth after the end of the glacial period. The last of Lemuria’s subcontinents sank across time as the ice caps melted and elevated the seawaters to much higher levels.

• The ‘bamboo’ is referent for DNA as a whole, which is almost similar with the previous interpretation. This time though, note that DNA in the higher dimension is different, as it has more strands (12) than biological DNA (2).

• Inside the bamboo are the two prospect gender, male and female. The Yin and Yang. Duality in One. Indeed, even the soul of a human has both masculine and feminine elements. So is the DNA, whether higher or lower dimension type.

• Bamboo floating in the ocean/seas also signifies the attempts by the survivors of the post-glacial deluge to survive via floaters. Much like Noah’s floater. Noah was in fact of Lemurian roots, and produced a branch of tribes that would settle later in Western Asia. The same floaters brought survivors to lands that emerged after the floods receded, lands in the Pacific Ocean (including the Philippines).

• From the ocean/seas, it landed in the coast. Soil signifies matter, as well as the maternal element (matter is Latin ‘mater’ or mother). It also signifies the physical plane, with the element of solidity (earth element) as dominantly marked.

• A dove, white in hue, signifies the Galactic humans and their space vehicle. The myth reveals that the same Galactic breeders experimented on a new race. Quite observably, the same breeders or ‘creators’ used the species of humans already present then, who birthed through sexual procreation means (male and female in sexual intercourse). The earlier Lemurians were oviparous (egg-laying), while the latter were sexual in pro-creation.

• The dove landed on the shores, as one can see. This means the Galactic creators, who came from the Air above (air is 6th Density or mental plane), had to descend to a lower dimension to be able to breed the Malays. Terrans were originally 5th Density in habitat, so it makes sense that the light-hued creators had to descend at least one Density lower from their domain.

• The dove pecked the bamboo. This could mean that the creator race was also sexual in breeding or sort of, and it is possible that they actually pro-created with the Lemurian descendants. Otherwise, the new breed could have been created through laboratory means, which could also be possible.

• Malakas and Maganda came out of the bamboo. Obviously, two (2) genders were involved as products of the breeding. And both of the genders were involved in birthing the ancient Tagalogs/Malays, who would later be among the chief tribes of the Filipino nation.

The Lemurians could have exercised gender equality, as indicated by the mythos. From the Lemurian descendants to the proto-Malays, the same cultural trait was disseminated. When the Moslems and Spaniards arrived in the islands, they discovered the prevalence of such a sociocultural trait among the islanders.

In closing, let me re-echo a thesis declared in a previous article: “As I’ve been saying all along, the contributions of Malays to the Teaching (‘God’s Word, higher mysteries) are found more in their folklores rather than their scriptures. Malayan scriptures are Islamic, Buddhist, and Christian, or impositions from outside. Folklores are originally their creative production, and are repositories of High Knowledge and wisdom. Such a thesis is exemplified by the Tagalog creation myth.” (See “Tagalog Creation Myth: Science of Birthing Revealed.”)

TAGALOG CREATION MYTH: SCIENCE OF BIRTHING REVEALED

Erle Frayne D. Argonza / Ra


Let me bring you another folk lore from the Malays: the creation myth of the Tagalogs. Tagalogs are the ethnic groups of Luzon island in the Philippines, from whose dialect came forth the foundations of the national language of Filipino.

Tagalog is a coinage of Taga Ilog, literally meaning “from the river.” The river in the term is a referent for the hydrological societies that pervaded the Philippine archipelago prior to the advent of western imperialism and colonialism.

A nation richly endowed with folklore, with myths and legends, the Philippines counts among its popular lores the myth of ‘Malakas and Maganda’. Literally, it translates as ‘myth of Strong (Malakas) and Beautiful (Maganda).’

The myth goes that there was once a bamboo floating listlessly by the oceans. The bamboo finally ceased to float as it landed on a coast in the Philippines. As it did so, a white dove flying above descended on the bamboo and pecked it accordingly. The bamboo then split, and out came Malakas and Maganda. The Filipinos are their descendants.

A very ancient narrative, the mythos is, to my mind, a repository of a science that was already known in the ancient times: the science of birthing. Such a science was eventually lost, as the end of the ice age inundated land masses, sunk continental chunks of lands, and led to a dark age of sorts.

Despite the retreat of civilization after the end of the last glacial period, the survivors found ample means to preserve the knowledge and information that they could preserve through folklore (myths & legends). Let’s take the signifiers one by one.

• Let’s take the case of the sea/ocean first of all. The water in the seas is a signifier for the amniotic fluid inside the mother’s womb. In the womb is, of course, the ovum which is a facility for birthing.

• The bamboo, with its nodes, long and pliant, is signifier for the DNA/genes. It is unimaginable to create humans without the genetic vehicle for their making, the vehicle being no other than the DNA.

• The dove is a bird. The bird is signifier for ‘desire’ and the phallus as well. Both desire and phallus are key biological facilities in creating life forms. The bird pecking the bamboo signifies the procreation act.

• From inside the bamboo, one presumably finds the masculine (Malakas) and feminine (Maganda) elements or identities. Which is what it is: both masculine and feminine genes are already inherently present in the DNA.

• Having both a Malakas (masculine) and a Maganda (feminine) in one space, co-equal, refers to the law of duality. The DNA has two (2) strands, gender has two identities (male, female), and so on.

• The soil, as indicated by the coast, signifies the elements of the Earth. All such elements are present in the human body. Without such elements, without biological matter containing such elements, babies can’t be produced. Soil is matter, from the Latin word ‘mater’ or matter, as it is also the feminine element (mother, mater).

That Malakas and Maganda simultaneously came out together from the same bamboo signifies the gender equality among the ancient Malays. Patriarchy was alien to the Malays, who were among the last subraces of the Atlantean ‘root race’ to evolve in history.

Patriarchy was largely imposed from the outside: from Islam it was imposed upon southern Filipinos, from Christianity unto Northern Filipinos. Indians and Chinese also migrated to the islands, introducing their brand of patriarchy.

Yet no matter how much tons of debris may have buried the ancient ways of the Tagalogs/Filipinos, they were not totally buried after all. One only needs to mine their folklores, of which volumes of documentation works were already published, to be able to extract and unveil hidden truths.

As I’ve been saying all along, the contributions of Malays to the Teaching (‘God’s Word, higher mysteries) are found more in their folklores rather than their scriptures. Malayan scriptures are Islamic, Buddhist, and Christian, or impositions from outside. Folklores are originally their creative production, and are repositories of High Knowledge and wisdom. Such a thesis is exemplified by the Tagalog creation myth.

MALAY STREAM IN HIGHER MYSTERIES

Erle Frayne D. Argonza / Ra


Mystical-esoteric circles across the world have been making noisy contentions since the late 19th century yet about the contributions of certain cultural families to the higher mysteries (Christians’ ‘word of God’, yogi-gurus’ ‘the Teaching’). Western philosophers have been enamored particularly to Indian, Tibetan, Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, Egyptian, Meso-American, and native North American streams of esoteric thought.

There is an observed undercurrent of ethnocentrism in those thoughts for sure. Western esotericists and occultists have been particularly hyper-valuing the Atlantean ‘tradition’, for the simple reason that Atlantis was part of Western hemisphere. It’s ethnocentrism pure and plain.

The same circles have been pretty silent about other cultural streams’ contributions to the Teaching. A deafening silence, for instance, can be discerned about Malay contributions to the Teaching, a silence that can be misconstrued as racist condescension towards the brown-hued peoples of Southeast Asia whom they subconsciously regard as “halfway between monkey and man.”

Let us take the case of mantras that have fundamental import for purification, protection, and prosperity purposes. If one reads the works of JJ Hurtak, one would rather see the ethnocentric propensity to regard the Jewish stream as the core of all invocative interventions. The rationale advanced is that the high knowledge was passed on by Enoch directly, or by God Almighty, and so contesting such a rather ex cathedra truth is tantamount blasphemy.

I would have none of those subtle dirty tactics of Western thinkers and their cult followers across the globe. The truth of the matter is that all cultures of the planet have contributed in no small measure to the build up of the Teaching (higher mysteries, God’s ‘word’, universal knowledge, mystical science…). Inclusive of such contributions are the invocative interventions or mantras.

Malay culture is among the major cultural families the world over. There must be around 350-400 million Malays across the southeast Asian region, making them so diverse in form. Malays were among the last races of the 4th ‘root race’ (Atlantean), and were among those who survived the deluge that marked the end of the last glacial period (which ended Atlantean civilization and hegemony).

Malays were most likely bred from out of the dark-skinned Lemurians of antiquity. Of gigantic stature, the Lemurians gave birth to the black peoples today. During the advent of the dark-hued Lemurians, a branch of it would become the Polynesian race. A branch of the Polynesians were further isolated and chosen to breed a more light-colored hue of brown pedigree, the Malay race.

One would find in many folklore scattered across island Southeast the traces of the conflicts between the parent race (tall dark-skinned Polynesian-Lemurians) and the offspring race (brown shorter height Malays). There is hardly any ethnic group in the region where the belief in giants doesn’t exist. The ‘shorties’ (Malays) turned out to be smarter and agile than the ‘gigantes’ (Polynesians) who would in the end lose or are isolated.

The Philippines alone, which the Hierarchy chose for me to embody, has about 100 ethnic groups. Scholars have already accumulated research materials about the folklore of the islanders, which indicates a vast storehouse of symbolic constructs that outmatch those found in the West or ‘middle East’ (another ethnocentric Western invention).

Let’s take the category of myths and legends. The Anglo-Saxons have just but a single narrative of Beowulf, which was evidently culled from the Nordic-Teutonic traditions of antiquity. In contrast, the Filipino legends have a variegation of versions, such as Lam Ang of Ilocos, Biuag & Malana of Cagayan, and so on.

If a coterie of scholars would consolidate all the folklore of Filipinos, Malaysians, Indonesians, Bruneians, Southern Thais, Timorese, indigenous Formosans, and related ethnicities, they would most likely be overwhelmed with the magnitude of results. At least 100 volumes of an encyclopedic compendium would be the result.

During our centennial celebration of Philippine Independence in the 1990s, scholars from the University of the Philippines generated around ten (10) encyclopedic volumes of folklore. That is just the tip of the iceberg of Malay folklore, as one can see.

My contention is that it is in folklore where we can mine the higher mysteries and discover their parallelisms and similarities with those already established (e.g. Vedic, Tibeto-Lama, Tao, Hebrew…). While typical esotericists would use scriptures of their choice cultures for mining higher mysteries, among the Malays it would be in the folklore rather than scriptures.

Only astigmatic or parochial minds would reduce scriptures as the sole basis for extracting higher mysteries such as universal laws. Any Western esotericist who’d claim “Hey those Malay guys don’t have scriptures at all so their contribution to high knowledge is negligible” is as smug as the bigoted Victorians imperialists of yesteryears.

Such bigots have a one-dimensional way of looking at things, a fixed idea about sources of knowledge (their way—scriptures), and turn out to be incompetent in dealing with mystical studies amid their university exposures and doctorate degrees even. Ignorance killed the cat, so did ignorance snuff out the chance for mining Malay culture for mystical knowledge.

No wonder that among the 144,000 White Robes sent forth at the ‘end of time’, thousands were embodied here in Southeast Asia. We have Teachers everywhere here, in all sub-regions of the southeast, who hopefully would unearth the Light that has been seemingly trapped in the antechambers of Malay culture.

We have no need to import other traditions here in fact. Even in meditation tools, we have indigenous ones embedded here, now being unearthed by Teachers and seers. I don’t even have to mention martial arts and healing (herbals included), fields that have clearly demonstrated the practical aspects of the Teaching that has been embedded in Malay culture.

So, while the scripturalists of the traditional mold go their way of flattering themselves with having unveiled truths, let the folklorists go ahead and unveil the same truths from out of the folklore of the Malays. For the Teachers sent forth here as embodied Malays, go ahead and spread the Teaching silently, gradually sharing in the process your learnings about the Malay stream of higher mysteries.

In ending this note, let me invoke AKO YAONG AKO. It is Filipino for I AM THAT I AM. I discovered this mantra translation a year ago, and I invoke it every now and then. Ako Yaong Ako! Siya Nawa.
