A SIMPLE MEDITATION, Beloved of God, that I enjoin us, each and every one, to achieve together at the threshold of the year of our LORD, 2009, is to await with glad expectation, in the silence of our hearts - alone with the Alone and intimate with the Intimate - that daybreak twilight leading up to the bright new morning of the first day of the rest of our lives - at a time, times and half-a-time. This would be the first dawn of the 1st of January 2009 - so please observe the last few dawnings of the last few days of this year as an exercise in preparation for this great dawning in our heart of hearts, my beloved friend and precious companion.
For I enjoin us all, from wherever we are and as whoever we are - at a time, times and half-a-time - to observe together, with much prayer and vigilance of heart, during that one complete rotation of our one planet, our one whole collective turning away from the midnight darkness of the past into the labor of hope that we shall all be committed to God and to each other to work and to strive for - for greater peace in our world, length to our days, substance to our hearts and blessings to the generations to come - all towards a better world for all men, women and children of all of the nations of the one family of the nations of mankind.

On Further Understanding the Kampilan of the one Majority
Please refer to: The Kampilan of the one Majority
I realize that it is recorded in history that the Kampilan is the sword that slew Ferdinand Magellan and that those who are endeared to his memory might feel excluded from the universal substance that make the Kampilan of the one Majority a symbol that is meaningful to every and all human souls - as I have intended this sword to represent.
But if we have learned anything of the recent 2000 years, the past is shadow, a mixture of light and darkness, and that it is the burden of the present - of the generations, X and Y, and of those elder generations so inclined, of a time, times and half-a-time, to discern between the two and make the absolute and irreversible choice to remain with either one.
Now, as for the numberless Stars of our Father Abraham, we shall each and every one of us, stand for the light - and be the promise of God to sanctify the hope of our nations and be the vanguard that shall lead the way of our peoples eastward - towards peace, towards the shores of forever - away from war and the ambition of war.
It is in light of all of this that the honor symbolized by the Kampilan of the one Majority is conceived and so it is in this same light that the meaningfulness of it must be perceived.
The Kampilan of the one Majority is a new creation - for this sword thirsts not for the blood of men - this sword is a guard against the darkness of war; its exacting edge is a sharpness meant to sever from the truth, the lying tongue of war.
It is a weapon of increase. Its history is written in the lives it shall save from war and the souls it shall deliver from the dark ambition of war.
It is not a weapon that stirs for war - it is as the sword spoken of by our Lord Christ, an extension of the light of those souls that by truth of their own virtue, save from despair, the truth that lives in other people's lives.
It exists as a symbol of the defense the one peace - till war exists no more.
Thus is the honorary sword of the one Majority to be understood.

Some Thoughts on Health Care
I JUST CAUGHT A PROGRAM on cable last night - I think it was Michael Moore's - about the health care system in the US. Now, given the political leanings of Mr. Moore, I would usually take these things in stride but I have seen another episode which was a feature on a current affairs program (I could not remember now which one, I think its 60 minutes) that highlighted the same problems - that the US health care system is broken. But I did not know how broken until I heard the nameless voices of those of whom this system's brokenness had become a burden and a scourge.
Since our own Country, my fellow Filipino compatriot, one of many emerging nation-states (as I do not like the word "third world" as if there were other shared human realities than this one inhabited earth - among the one family of nations, there are emerging (young) nation-states, maturing (intermediate) nation-states and there are elder (shepherd) nation-states; a perfected or ascended nation-state only exists in eternity), is thinking of introducing, or have already introduced a formal health care program for our citizens, it would behoove this generation of Filipinos to learn from the mistakes of the American experiment and also sympathize with the plight of her orphaned people - hoping, constantly hoping for better days for all the nations of the one family of the nations of mankind.
Heath is not a product. Industry may use human labor or man hours in cost accounting but the human being itself can not be considered material. The common market is not the steward of either the state or the nation; that would put material things in control of human destiny - an insufferable tyranny that shall ultimately suffocate and destroy those freedoms that guarantee the pursuit of human happiness - for all people - for all times. Even those with currency and influence enough to be covered by this entirely market-driven health care system must know, here and now, that this kind of system will not recognize their own humanity should the tables of a fickle world be turned against their fortune and/or the vitality of their lives be overthrown by the uncertainties of our poor world.
Health is a right - it is without exception a God-given right of all human persons, and is a right entrusted to the care and concern of the human community - both the nation and its honorable state - to which that person belongs to as an integral part of that national community's particular endeavor of Country.
It is vital that we learn our lessons here as well. For a nation-state, true to her divine calling, has no other greater treasure than the life of her people.

On Benignity: The Fourth of the Four Faithful Causes
THE FOUR FAITHFUL CAUSES are the four greatest ascendant truths that are aligned from least to greatest that define for the one Majority the necessary way ahead.
These four faithful causes are the absolute diametric opposites of the manifold and diverse causes that are by their own nature and gravity, dark and descendant, and therefore, not faithful to the relevance of the one peace upon which is established the foundation truths of this secular community.
---<--@
BENIGNITY is the practice of goodness. Therefore, this cause must concern itself with the preferential treatment and care of minorities.
There shall always exist within our midst, a minority, and this is very adequately and substantially expressed both in sacred revelation as well as through the reality of our common human experience by the instrumentality's of the widow, the orphan, the stranger, the prisoner, the weak, the defenseless, the unborn, the ignorant, the disabled, the displaced, the dispossessed, the outcasts, etc.
What the majority does to the minority dictates their fidelity to the fourth faithful cause, a cause that determines how a nation's own soul learns to recognize the good in itself and therefore, understands the common good well enough to know how to defend it from foreign things not native to its inception.
Upon this cause and in the giving that is required are founded the ability of a nation to prosper in the commonweal that is the primary engine that drives wealth generation in every true and substantial endeavor of Country in our present age.
For the minority exist to exercise the people in the practice of goodness. Yet if the minority is not accommodated for or if they are ignored, how then can the impartial observer say that this one people know how to tell good from evil, and how then can that one nation establish in its trust, the common good of the one whole people within its sphere of awareness. If good is not recognized, if benignity is not a cause worthy of certain peoples, then surely, none of their labor will ever go beyond the prison of the false self and for this reason, they shall never attain to the one peace nor reap the real hope, in time and dimensional space, of both material and spiritual riches, of blessings that bless the spirit of many generations, of many wonders of unimaginable good things to come in this life and in the new life that is to come, that is found in the promise of every true endeavor of Country; every true undertaking that seeks to elevate the dignity of the human person and advance the good of the human community is a labor of both serving and defending the one peace, within and without, which is our original human estate.
Our Lord's poor, although a virtual majority in our world of today, is always a constant minority and shall always remain with us till the passing away of the old into the new as opportunities to materially prosper by imbuing a right sense of justice to the spread of material things and spiritually expand into greater and greater realms of authentic human freedoms by imbuing a right sense of common ownership to all the universal hopes shared by all us, needful human beings.
Indeed, the nameless minority of every nation, born of every God-given distinction and divinely endowed with truths of their own self-being, vulnerable and little though they may seem, have in their own right, a place in the greater economy of things unseen and within the reality of the one peace, they hold a real place in time and a true purpose in dimensional space that shall serve to either bless or curse any endeavor of Country with either the chains of the same poverty that they scorned or the wings of the same giving that they gave.
The key that unlocks the next of the three other ascendant and faithful causes, the cause of the nation which is harmony, must first be won by our attaining to the cause of the minority. And when this door is opened, its own reality will become apparent to the soul of the nation that has merited passage into it.
To ignore it, when the purpose of its time has expired and the iron doors of Country has shut forever, allows those that still remain to freely remain in the spirit of war and remain trapped within the descendant gravity of the darkness that pulls into the void of itself into division, discord, dissolution and disintegration with the Devil and his reprobate hosts all sin and war into an oblivion that at the end of time is so densely packed and so massively heavy, so unbearably offensive and so unbelievably binding, so greatly pressing and crushing against as the blackest of the blackest of tar concentrated into one, tiny hopeless singularity burning intensely with the fire of all the rage and the hatred of evils past, being completely abandoned by the one society of all the choirs of angels and the one family of all the nations of mankind, being forsaken by our LORD and eventually forgotten by our continuous Creator's one community of everliving life, spread like golden, shining, everliving stars across the blue of our one native celestial sky which is that timeless, infinite firmament that embraces in Its loving Presence and parental Awareness as a single reality indeed, both the unseen heaven of the angels and the seen earth of our humanity, allowing us all the infinite opportunity and unending society to eventually grow up into the fullness of our ages, by their own free choice.
And this too, by sacred revelation and the self-evident light of two thousand years of human experience is not a choice that is unrealistic for it not to have any accountability whatsoever for its own course in due time. For how could the gathering be if there were none left to come? Time, times and half a time.
Therefore, the one Majority exists in a common alliance with the one Solidarity to safeguard this hope.
