The Third Eye
Open the eye to the soul... See with the mind's eye...
I got bored and did this to myself... I can't get enough of paint!

Dissolving Karma : A Few Lessons on Humility
I know I need to learn humility...It's the Karmic lesson I have always failed to learn since time immemorial...
Last week I believe I have been given the privilege to learn what I have been trying to learn for many years. It had been quite painful since it required me to go out from my comfort zone but I do believe everything happened for a reason. I want to make it clear that I have taken on the job because I had signed a contract that I will be paid for my services. However, I do believe that no amount of money could equal the value of the whole experience I had in the outskirts of CDO.
You'll never know the value of a jeepney or habal2x ride unless you have tried living in a place where dirt roads and transportation are main problems...
You'll never know the value of a worn out futon unless you have tried sleeping on hard wood desks joined together to accommodate your worn out body...
You'll never know the value of a simple meal unless you have tried being hungry not only once but many times simply because you can't get your hands on food even if you have money in your pockets...
You'll never know the value of clean air unless you have tried almost passing out due to inhaling second hand cigarette smoke and despicable body fumes...
You'll never know the value of water unless you have tried taking a bath using less than a pail of relatively dirty water...
You'll never know the value of sleep unless you have tried staying up all night guarding something that will help determine your country's future...
You'll never know the value of service unless you have tried working beyond what you are getting paid for and having to spend from your own pocket just to make sure you did your job well...
You'll never know the value of smiles unless you have tried receiving a magnitude of frowns and complaints for reasons you know you are not directly involved...
You'll never know the value of family and friends unless you have tried being in the presence and mercy of complete strangers...
You'll never know the value of your life unless you have witnessed how some people who live in more desperate situations still go on with their lives because they don't have much of a choice....
You'll never know how to be humble unless you find yourself in a humbling experience...
You'll never learn humility unless you swallow your pride...
Pride is a bitter pill one MUST swallow in order to taste the sweetness of humility...
Belated happy birthday to me...

The Universe Wants YOU!
I have just joined another order yesterday and I never thought that today, on my very first day as a member, I will be installed as an officer! Everything's in a rush I have never expected this! Will I belong now? I don't really care as long as I please the Universe...or the Cosmic... So mote it be...

Will I Belong Now?
I have met new members of the order and I guess I might start to belong now... I never expected that I will be installed as an officer... I can't say no... When you are asked to be an officer, it means you have the opportunity to serve the order. I'm looking forward to better things... I just wish I will be able to do good...

Still Searching For Deeper Meaning
It's been a while since my last post and a lot of stuff have happened already.
Had tears in my eyes fore days and made a plea to the heavens for a miracle for my cousin's wife and though she's still not A-ok, the physicians have ruled out cancer.
Continued praying with those purple beads and even though I don't believe everything about it, I can see that my prayers are being heard.
I've finally made my TAJ entry and passed the book to another person. (More about TAJ in a future post)
I am stilll attending the weekly intensive meditation sessions of The Order and I have had my first Shaktipat experience last weekend. Last Thursday there was an installation of a member to the higher order and it was said that we wil not have just intensive meditation sessions anymore but weekly convocations. I'm looking forward to better stuff in the future!
My new client is not demanding and appreciates the work that I've done. I do hope he'll stay that way. I'm crossing my fingers tighly...
My relationship with my family is shaky and I could equate it with the feeling of being on a raft in white water. People say you can't choose your family... However, I do believe there's a BIG reason why I CHOSE to be born in this family in this lifetime.
My friends are still around even though most of whom I do trust are miles away from me. Friends do not need to be physically near in order to support each other right? heheheh!
I am still not making enough sense. I am more confused than ever... I dunno which steps I should take...
I am still receiving so many signs I can't pinpoint which ones I should acknowledge first...I don't know which ones are urgent and important. I have to figure out now....
I am still dreaming of surreal scenes, dead people, unknown people, and The Universe. My dreams are kinda mysterious but I've made it a point not to make a big fuss about them...
