ARROGANCE & HUBRIS WON’T PAY November 19, 2015

ARROGANCE & HUBRIS WON’T PAY

 

Erle Frayne D. Argonza

 

 

The ego surely has every way

To ambush your psyche

Like bandits waiting to waylay thee

It comes with thunderbolts

Of thoughts so dark and gloom

They’d make you depart

From your sublime humanity

 

Such as to make you wallow

In dirty cesspools

Of arrogance and hubris

Large may the pool be

Yet dirty is it as ever

 

Arrogance and hubris won’t ever

Pay enough and won’t reward thee

Save but to sink thee

Deeper in murky waters of evils

Such darkness will come back

Upon thee when most unexpected

Like a boomerang gleefully flying

To return to its own thrower

 

[Philippines, 20 August 2010]

 

 

REFLECTION

 

Arrogance, delusion, pride all go together as evils experienced by the lower self or psyche. You would notice how many are those who claim today to be representatives of the Divine Beings, and by examining the contentions they make—that are ambiguous and deceptive—you know that they are engaging in delusions. And they delude the public with an aura of humility, mind you. Yet they arrogate upon themselves the huge role of Divine representative! What philistine hubris!

 

Such evils could hide themselves from the uninitiated or ignorant, but not from sharp empaths, psychoanalysts and more so from evolved souls. Just by reading through about three hundred (300+) channeling articles writ in 1992-2001, I was able to perceive through dark marshes and saw the arrogance and hubris that went with them. Those channelers, who are actually spiritist mediums that perform necromancy (calling the spirits of dead, animals, negatives astral beings), are psychologically unstable, and to prove my point let them undergo psychiatric test. I can see through them, being an empath who conducted listening & counseling on hundreds of troubled souls.

 

Arrogance, hubris, delusion, pride are all poisons to the soul. Any truly willful seeker should be determined to deprogram them from the psyche. The tools of deprogramming vices are provided by an initiating guru, as I normally do to those I mentor, and should be applied diligently. There can be no excuses for missing out on deprogramming certain vices or evils such as lying, cheating, arrogance, pride, as the failure to take them out will redound to reinforcing veils in the Path.

 

Unable to deprogram vices and take down veils in the Path, Divine Grace can never be fully given by the Almighty, and the advancing seeker will remain dangling in the ‘purgatorial regions’ of existence. Burn down all evils, take down all veils, and Divine Providence will grant nirvana, the 1^st phase of true liberation, unto the devotee or seeker or mystic.

WRITEN ARTICULATION, MESSENGER TASK March 26, 2015

WRITEN ARTICULATION, MESSENGER TASK

IN FLIGHT (Poem 37)

Erle Frayne D. Argonza

In my flight in the morrows

Pen and tongue I’ll muster

And share with fellows eager

To behold the notes of life

Notes of life that elevate

Them to their dreams’ heights at last.

Hopefully the notes I’ll share

Shall register as permanent memoriam

Ne’er as undeciphered letters written

On sea shores that waves soon wash away.

Allow the notes to linger even just

For a time like writings on granite walls

Even if the walls later choose to dishevel.

For the crux of the code is crucial:

That all men are brothers

Who can live together as One benign

Community.

[Writ. 17 Sept. 1987, Univ. of the Philippines, Quezon City, M.Manila.]

REFLECTION

A seeker and baktha (devotee) should never be remiss in learning the art and science of the ‘written word’. As the human mind grows, culture becomes more complex and advanced, thus the demand for written products will increase by many folds.

I recall as a mere adolescent that my own linguistic skills were rather lagging behind my science and analytical abilities. But I had the passion to write, and so did I strive very hard to master the written word. I wished to tell so much to fellowmen, wished to leave the imprints of my thoughts and inner wisdom through the written word, so I read voluminously aside from write promiscuously in order to master the written word.

If there is any model to look up to for this passion of mine, it is no other than Dr. Jose Rizal, national hero of my country the Philippines. Dr. Rizal wrote so promiscuously, he kept on communicating his thoughts, feelings, and wisdom through the pen. He left so many writings, that there is so much to write about him long after he was gone. I consider Rizal as my first guru in my country, and I’m so glad he left so many writings that are testaments to his wise teachings.

As a seeker graduates to a mystical Adept, the significance of the pen is even more exacerbated. So learning the pen well while one is still young pays off so much as will seeker can realize later. In today’s context where the internet has become a fact of life, the power of the pen is at its nadir.

POEM ON PATIENCE March 16, 2015

POEM ON PATIENCE

IN FLIGHT (Poem 36)

Erle Frayne D. Argonza

I shall not go weary with the waiting.

Time’s no evil, Time is kind

Time does not stand still for the doer

As it glides smoothly with the trade’s making.

I shall not go weary with the waiting.

Time is honest, Time is gentle

Time is merciful to the pilgrim

Who’s been shaping up for earnest sharing.

I shall not go weary with the waiting.

Time is not a loathsome changeling

That devours its trusted fellows

Not the man with noble visions.

I shall no go weary with the waiting.

Duty that lifts travelers aflight prevails.

Duty prevails.

[Writ. 17 Sept. 1987, Univ. of the Philippines, Quezon City, M.Manila.]

REFLECTION

The virtue of patience and the propelling power of Duty are stressed in the poem. This is part of my poetry series titled In Flight, writ as a young man who wished to do development work among the poor folks of other continents.

Impatience is a deadly poison to one’s soul. To a Traveler—a seeker who performs learning and Duty in solitary fashion—impatience is a stumbling block to building a strong foundation within the self in order to move forward to the next levels of development. Impatience yields half-baked results, and there are no half-baked learnings in the Path of liberation.

A seeker would be so lucky enough if Divine Grace would be bestowed upon him/her, amidst enormous impatience in getting results for spiritual goals. As the Master Yoda said in the Star Wars series, “patience, patience!” when mentoring his apprentice Luke Skywalker.

Build patience within the psyche, as this virtue will facilitate the building of other core virtues. Don’t ever wait for the Almighty Creator to build patience for you, the initiative and effort must come from within you. Prayer and meditation tools for building virtues should be applied consistently and persistently to deprogram impatience and build the jewel of patience.

COME BACK O! LOST CRAFT October 9, 2014

COME BACK O! LOST CRAFT
Erle Frayne Argonza / Ra

You will come back, o! lost craft!
You were drowned in the great deluge
Where faith in self lost its scepter
To turbulent waves of underesteem
Faith has lost faith!

You are not lost!
Nothing is
Lost, not a craft that burns
The nights that owls had no monopoly
Over, beat your own despair!
Rise and ride astride the new tidal waves!

Find the whirlpool from the deep recesses!
Twill pull you up
To where bubbles are on sea surfs’ tops
Afloat you shall be
You are your own life saver

You
Are.
[Writ. 14 May ‘99, Cubao, Quezon City, MManila]

REFLECTION
This poetic piece is meant to inspire myself then to never let learned crafts become dormant or dead due to misuse. Crafts are of significant import to a person’s development, and perfecting certain crafts or professions are requisites to spiritual development.
Craftsmanship is referred to as 3rd Ray trait in the higher mysteries. So important are crafts that down here on 3rd dimension we cannot survive without them (a craft or profession ensures us money to get ensue with daily existence), and to a higher extent they endow us with the esthetics to apperceive the wholeness of creation.
We should strive to develop crafts, and we should all learn to appreciate the works of craftsmen or artists. Artists could align through as high as 8th density to tap principles of beauty and esthetics there, and then create products from out of imagined models of what they have in mind. Without the esthetics in our world today, we will leave a dreary, boring society akin to a ‘world of zombies’.
Upon learning crafts or professions, strive to practice them and bring the practice to perfection. Non-practice could yield death on a craft, such as what happens to a medical doctor who wouldn’t practice for ten straight years (I heard of such a narrative from my surgeon uncle Dr. Edwin Argonza who lamented one such young doctor he mentored but who lost the craft due to non-practice). Never ever lost your crafts as they’d become part of your ‘inner gold’ of treasures.

THY WILL BE DONE September 18, 2014

THY WILL BE DONE
Erle Frayne Argonza / Ra

Whenever the day starts I knock
Upon the doors of Life to request extensions
Of my lease to exist. Not that I
Will be merry forever notwithstanding fears
Tensions and anxieties that arise
In my here-and-now; I’m simply unsure
Of what may be up for me. Well, Life
Responded as always—cheerful, lighthearted,
Contagiously optimistic. I’d catch its air
Of glittering hope, daunting spirit,
Its elan of all elan. The I’d say too,
“Life, please do share unto others what you’re
Offered to me.” “Thy will be done” said Life.
Thy will be done. Done will be
Hope’s cremation of every unwanted carcass
Of Obscurity: faith in self regained.
[Writ. 21 October 1988, Proj. 8, Quezon City, M.Manila]

REFLECTION
Hopelessness, alienation, despair are the common affective theme of the day. Such a hopelessness, saps one’s own will-to-ascend, lead to further fragmentation and disorder, nay leave to self-annihilation through drug addiction and suicide. But not all people on Terra today are the harbingers of hopelessness, as many yet are those positive humans who are exemplars of hope, optimism, enlightened will.
I do recall that on the previous year before I wrote the poem, I began to read the 3-volume books of Ernst Bloch titled The Principle of Hope. Though steeped in Marx-Freud perspective, I easily saw the mystical undertones of Bloch’s thought, making him unmistakably a spiritual seeker. Seeking to explicate millenarian movements through the ‘principle of hope’, I found myself resonating easily with his thought constructs. I recommend seekers to read Bloch in fact, as part of the sharpening of tools for social knowledge.
Will hopeless, despair, fragmentation last much longer than it already did (for innumerable eons)? Comes post-2012 scenario, the condition of hope, optimism, psyche integration will become a full-blossomed reality. Light will permeate every interstice of the planet and of social spaces, permeating deep into the psyche (lower self) and soul (higher self), thus ensuring healing, wellness, ecological balance.
With the full return of hope and correlate principles—of will, love, enlightened power—shall galvanize the greater condition or ground for preparing mankind for the next phase in the evolutionary leap. Thus will mankind be brought closer and closer to the Father-Mother across the epochs yet coming.

WHEN DEMOCRACY COMES September 12, 2014

WHEN DEMOCRACY COMES
Erle Frayne Argonza / Ra

Land of ours! You’re bent on reminding
Us anew: that our Sentinels again
Will rob us clear of our well-earned
Civil rights and arrogate for themselves
All powers of government.
So what? Yes, so what?
Will democracy become so weary
As to naively recline upon coal embers
That are our Sentinels’ hearts?
Has democracy anyway flowered
Into full bloom in your soil as to assure
Your history’s place in the citadels
Of human grandeur?

Land of ours! Relay these utterances
To the vanguards of treachery:
Democracy is verily like a fruit
That has ripened in the beings
Of the workingmen in shops and farms:
A dazzling show twill manifest
As it finally blooms to maturity
And edifices of fascistic greed twill
Burn down to remain as ashes forever
A signal to all humanity of your
Patriots’ repute as victors and
You: a bastion of freedom bearers.
[Writ. 13 October 1988, Proj. 8, Quezon City, M.Manila]

REFLECTION
Governance has come a long way since the first races of humans. We have shifted from kingship to republics, with experimentations on them done in classical Greece (democracy) and Rome (republic). Kingships that remained were to gel with republican democracies, with monarchs performing ceremonial powers and elected politicians mandated with executive powers.
Very imperfect is our democracy though. We continue to experience military coups in certain countries, while those of Western democracies are actually plutocracies. In reality, oligarchs are in power in Terra today, particularly the financier oligarchs who call the shots in national governance and are now planning to install global governance under their control.
That will all change post-2012, as we will see a full blossoming of republican democracies. Councils will be governing cities, regions, and the planetary state, with a World Leader Avatar serving as chief-of-state of the planetary government. Earth will thus be governed by enlightened beings, with Melchizedeks assigned to each city to serve as spiritual gatekeeper (they will be giving blessings to newly elected council leaders).
As I’ve revealed in some previous articles, the structural framework of the future world and region-level governments are now in place. Gatekeeper councils have been operating in the etheric plane, each one led by a Master. The Gatekeepers of each council report directly to a larger body which is akin to the UN’s general assembly. Definitely, the Spiritua Hierarchy is very much prepared for future governance as of today.

THE SUN OUR KIN September 3, 2014

THE SUN OUR KIN
Erle Frayne Argonza / Ra

It’s true the Sun will lay to rest
On the day’s end after his toil
And give way to the nighttime hours
When ravagers despoil amid our slumbers
But sure enough the morning comes
And Sun radiates our Land anew
Each smile he sports enervates our longings
For better times of wealth and wellbeing
He never tires to shed us rays of care
He never retreats without sharing heraldries
Of what our strivings will bring forth
A sturdier and well esteemed commonwealth
He shall ever be there when we need him
A kin indeed our light of liberty
[Writ. 07 October 1988, Proj. 8, Quezon City, M.Manila]

REFLECTIONS

My poetic lines signify the optimistic side to the sun or Sol. I have always regarded Sol in a very positive light, despite the hours of the day when the sun’s rays could be burning hot. I’ve been experiencing this a long time, being a habitué of the tropics (the Philippines is just a few degrees latitude north of the equator).
The hot hours of the sun are largely the result of Terra’s descent to 3rd dimension. Across the eons, Sol had understandably underwent changes, which could have further exacerbated the searing heat that we feel here on Terra during hot days. When Terra was still 5th dimensional, the atmosphere was filled with mist the whole day, mist that served as canopy for mankind, rendering Sol truly very friendly indeed.
As soon as Terra returns to higher dimension, climate conditions will radically change toward greater stability. Sol will become even friendlier, and we will feel and receive the greatest benefits ever from Him (I’d say Him in honor of Lord Helios who is the Solar Logos), inclusive of widespread use of solar energy for diverse purposes. Perhaps the day-long mist—that can turn to fog at times—will come back, which not only serves as canopy but as source of water for us (our pores will breath again like before, and water can come in through them).
The Lord Helios and His consort Lady Vesta are Ascended Masters of the highest caliber, and are indeed our kins. They have attained Christhood too many eons have passed, and will always be recognized for their very sublime feats for the entire civilization we can dub as Solar Civilization. Meditating on the honorable Logoi and thanking them for their undying care will be most welcome.

JUAN’S NIGHTMARE August 18, 2014

JUAN’S NIGHTMARE
Erle Frayne Argonza / Ra

Sleeping while inner rage brews
Inside one’s cognitive vat does not make
A sleep the fulfillment of a day’s toil.
Not for Juan the unlettered and dispossessed
Whose wretchedness is a correlate of wealth
Amassed by his other brothers whose
Purses and stocks do bulge ad infinitum.
Not for Juan. Reserved inner rage
Sooner unfolds into a thousand nightmares:
Spoiled is the timeless joy of dream’s utopia.
[Writ. 19 June 1988, Proj. 8, Quezon City, M.Manila]

REFLECTION
Orion domination of Earth since the time of invasion 500,000 years ago yet, had resulted to enormous gaps between rich and poor. The highly asymmetric relationship between upper and lower classes had generated psychosocial disorder conditions in no small measures across time.
The final calcification of the Orion economic system on Terra is the Money Economy, capitalism being the most degenerate form. In contemporary Money Economy, which is classic Orion economics, the gap between rich and poor has been exacerbated all the more. Thus, the stress and resentment experienced across classes has risen rather exponentially, leading to anomie and murderous sociopathy.

Upon the ascent of Terra to higher dimension, the primal-demonic systems imposed by invading Orions of antiquity will cease to exist. The Money Economy had already collapsed and is just being prolonged till 2012, after which it will cease to exist. Likewise will the ‘storm and stress’ of inner rage caused by the asymmetric relations of Orion systems will rapidly decline, and healing will catalyze the harmonic condition of the psyche.
I need not belabor further that ‘Juan’s nightmare’ syndromes will disappear altogether post-2012.

MARSHES OF CANDABA August 12, 2014

MARSHES OF CANDABA
Erle Frayne Argonza / Ra

When hawks and other living flyers
Set foot on swampy fields for feeding
Tis a marvelous sight that glows the eyes
As mark of platonic appreciation

Where muddy waters used to fill
The air with constant foul-smelling vapors
And gift the neighboring men and women
With malaria and ailments and more
And leave no space that’s fertile enough
For crops and edible greens
And there vehicles run agog
When torrents bring oceanic floods
No more is this worthy of anyone’s esteem
Than to ignore it for its fecal state

Melons and fruits and rice now abound
In this once noxious forbidden land
No more is Hope rekindled the better
Than on the marshes of Candaba

Fly! Fly! Beloved Eagle to the peasant’s nest!
And laud him with your hymns of joy
For his victorious heartwarming travails on swamps
Indeed make him a true human champion.
[Writ. 06 June 1988, Proj. 8, Quezon City, M.Manila]

REFLECTION
From swamp to farm, from wasteland to production enclave, from nature’s ruins to citadels of life is the theme of the new life that was breathed into the swampy area of Candaba, a town in Pampanga province, to the north of Manila.
The wonderful narrative of Candaba had lived on for years, even as migratory birds flock there till these days to fill up people’s admiring eyes and ceaselessly churn out new stories of unfolding life. Not only does it pose itself as testimony to the travails of Mother Nature, it likewise poses itself as testimony to the sojourns of the ‘earth worker’ peasants who have given off much love and labors for the caring of Mother Earth.
Those who deeply cared for the Earth and nurtured its endowments without let up, perhaps across many embodiments till the present ones as farmer and/or indigenous people, will be elevated to higher dimension by Gaia once the Terra ascends by late 2012. They will comprise anywhere from 33% to 40% of Terrans who will comprise the population of the New Earth.

SIMPLE WORDS July 31, 2014

SIMPLE WORDS
Erle Frayne Argonza / Ra

In every production of my pen
Of full narrative or poem
I’m compelled to write in simple
Words that folks could comprehend

It’s no joke to dazzle minds
With jargons and magical words
For just like magic on a wand’s stroke
Will make the denouement outpace
The cognition of the enthusiastic viewer
Will only obscure the thought presented
And leave the consciousness dangling
On rotten vines of superstition and illusion

For I’m supposed to offer
Lines that shatter false images
It’s so that every undertaking
Of thinking and imagining
Will irradiate the knowing viewer
With rays of clarity and concreteness

[Writ. 06 June 1988, Angeles City, Pampanga, on a visit to the Angeles University Foundation.]

REFLECTION
The manner of articulation, whether to be elegant or to be simple in presentation, is really one of personal choice. Being schooled in college in the University of the Philippines, where the ‘school of elegance’ prevailed, I had to consciously remind myself of the full import of writing and speaking with simplicity, thus diverging from my own fellow alumni who bore with them the elegance that was to make marks in their work situations.
I was actually influenced by Albert Einstein who urged theoretical physicists to discourse with simplicity. Having been exposed to theoretical physics and social sciences as a young man, it was a tall order to follow the ‘school of simplicity’. I admitted that at times I veered too far away from it, as my writings turned out too abstruse and complex, unreadable even to my fellow academics (they kept on complaining that they cannot understand an iota of my discourse).
Yet I found out early how Einstein, born a gifted child, was able to present his general and special theories with utter simplicity. If the noblesse theoretician can do it, likewise can I do it. Many spiritual masters actually took the choice of simplicity, even as their being so wise and pure already made them stand out as elegant Beings of Light.
Being simple in articulation doesn’t mean being simplistic. The latter is a flaw of reductionism, which should be avoided. No matter how complex your subject of presentation is, you can simplify it no less and yet show such a complexity before your audience or readers in more digestible verbiage.

WHY NOT HUMILITY?

WHY NOT HUMILITY?
Erle Frayne Argonza / Ra

Why not be humble at all moments
Of association with fellowmen?
Didn’t the shopworker teach you
That one rudiment of survival
Is the intelligent recognition
Of your limitations’ omnipresence
Inspite of endowments of craft & wealth?
For there too are circumstances
That are beyond you grasps
In the snares of Naivete
And may even cause a furor
Of gig and limitless giggle?
For Boastfulness and Arrogance
Are twin eagles of deception
That once they’d lift you aflight
They’d shake you off the winds to crash
Tragically on the solid ground
Of defeat and humiliation?

O! Humility!
You are a noble messenger
That speaks for transparent Security
One that makes a person immensely cherished
By the commonwealth of all men.
[Writ. 05 June 1988, Proj. 8, Quezon City, M.Manila]

REFLECTION
Being an islander in Asia, born a Filipino, I was taught humility as a sublime virtue. As I grew up, I found out that humility is a cross-cultural virtue, taught by sages and gurus of the Teaching. As a lad, I had great love for erudite yet humble persons, and had deep scorn for braggarts and arrogant persons.
The Filipinos are incidentally descendants of ancient Lemurians, who were gifted with perfecting Karma Yoga even prior to the emergence of the Filipino in the historic landscape. Service and bhakti (devotion) go sublimely together, such traits blossoming well among many of my well-meaning compatriots here. For the servant cum devotion person, humility is a sublime virtue exhibited as natural behavior, it being one of the ‘ginintuang ugali’ (golden traits) offered to us by our divine heritage.
Endeared spiritual Aspirants should internalize the virtue well and live it in daily living. Humble yet magnanimous persons will eventually be golden traits of the habitués of New Earth. In contrast, braggarts, arrogant ones will be driven out of Earth and transferred to the dense world that await them, there to brag and condescend on others to their hearts’ delight.

ON MEASURING LOVE July 12, 2014

ON MEASURING LOVE
Erle Frayne Argonza /Ra

Love, concern and sincerest care
For the loved one and all loved fellows:
Could these be measured
Like the metered current
That powers the home?
If it were so could devotion be paid
In sheets over sheets of monies?

Perhaps the cats, dogs
And other wondrous pets at home
Can offer the answer:
Wondrous pets don’t count at all
Their kisses and devotion to friends
O! How they keep on giving!
They simply keep on giving!
[Writ. 04 June 1988, Proj. 8, Quezon City, M.Manila]

REFLECTION

The Law of Reciprocity posits: “Do for others what you want them to do for you.” A sacrosanct low in all spheres of existence, it is fully substantiated in the conduct of devotion.

As I was saying in that youthful poem of mine, devotion is a matter of quality of relationship, not a matter of quantity of giving. Take notice of your very own pets and see how totally devoted they are to you, never counting the love they offer to you. Such a behavior we must exude before the Almighty Providence and the sublime created Beings in all dimensions, inclusive of our own fellow humans.

For the egotistical types, giving love is a matter of quantity, such a love therefore being not ‘true love’. It is manipulative behavior, exuded to control people, enslave ‘the other’ in disproportionately asymmetric relations, and manifested with the expectation that others will reciprocate in kind. These are the types whom the Spiritual Hierarchy will expel from Terra post-2012, transferred to the world fit for their own psyche and awareness.

ON RETIREMENT March 11, 2014

ON RETIREMENT

Erle Frayne Argonza / Ra

 

Why dream of retiring at age 60 or 65?

Has life not gloriously revealed

The exquisite beauty within you

That shines all the more

With each day of doing?

Will retirement not compel you

Into dark dens of nothingness

Push you to the brink

Of cancerous boredom that kills

In every second of its conquest?

 

Continue to share to all fellowmen

The sublime makings of your trade

Be these in simple or intricate form.

 

For Life has endowed you

With blessings aplenty

Since the first day that you saw

The undying Light of the sun.

 

[Writ. 04 June 1988, Proj. 8, Quezon City, M.Manila.]

 

REFLECTION

We live in a world of ‘rat race’, working in order to gain money and ensue with daily survival. After decades of laboring, work itself becomes a drudgery rather than a matter of joy as we ought to be living a life as co-creator of the Almighty Providence. At the age of late middle age, the ‘retirement syndrome’ seeps through the psyche, sapping the energies and morale of the person.

That is how bad the situation is on 3^rd dimensional Terra. But that situation will end very soon, as Terra ascends to a higher realm, to stabilize finally at 5^th dimension where she was originally in primordial times. As a prerequisite for the ascension, we ought to have grasped the virtue of labor, as I’ve said in a previous note.

Retirement syndrome will be a thing of the past in the New Earth. Formal work as we know it today will only be for four (4) hours or so, thus leaving the person ample time to engage in spiritual work (including a conscientious study of the Teaching), artistic work, and enjoy family life as well. Nocturnal rest will only need four (4) hours of sleep or so, and by the time the person wakes up s/he will meditate as prana or chi will be the chief source of energy to propel one to last the day.

Thus, there will be room for pursuing everyone’s creative passions and feel the joy of family life—with angelic babies & tots to child-rear—as well. Who will ever again think of retirement in the new world? Rather than think or retirement, look forward to your ascension into a Self-realized ‘master of wisdom’, hence fully evolving into a cosmic being.

SONGBIRD’S MELODY March 4, 2014

SONGBIRD’S MELODY

Erle Frayne Argonza / Ra

 

Songbird of the country

Please sing your tunes tirelessly

On valleys and hills

Sing afloat your theatre of amusement!

 

You are forever rewarded

With rice, shelter, care

By humble folks who truly cherish you.

 

Sing!

Sing for them! – the poor and wretched—

 

They who were left forlorn

By trusted lords

By false guardians of welfare

By deified magnates;

They who are now casting

New lives for themselves

New hopes toward betterment.

 

O! Songbird so dear!

Lift them up from slumber!

 

[Writ. 26 May 1988, Proj. 8, Quezon City, M.Manila.]

 

REFLECTION

I never ceased to marvel over songbirds perched on trees nearby my residence, their songs serving as balms that can sooth inner wounds. As part of divine grace on Terra, we are o! so blessed with so many songbirds. In the early morning, they role-play as my alarm clock, wakening me through their sweet melodies.

Aspirants in the Path ought to meditate on the sublime meanings of the songbird. Upon advancing in the Path and striving to contribute to the Work, the Aspirant better face people like a songbird does to the folks. It is necessary to provide service to those who are in need, as well as to those who thirst for knowledge and wisdom, service being the 6^th Ray of divinity.

Be like unto the songbird, who dedicates melodies so unselfishly to those who can hear, especially the marginalized peoples. Those deified magnates who quack service by engaging in humanitarian pursuits for posterity and fame, those who are undeniably Service-for-Self or SFS persons, will be taken out by Gaia from Terra post-2012, and will be transferred by the Spiritual Hierarchy to a world that befits their egoistic nature.

CHEERFULNESS February 25, 2014

CHEERFULNESS

Erle Frayne Argonza / Ra

 

Cheerfulness

Is never allowed to be dormant

Among children

In whose currents it

Freely flows

When it erupts

Like sunbursts

That all other cosmic bodies

Gladly accept

As life blessings.

 

[Writ. 09 Oct. 1987, Proj. 8, Quezon City, M.Manila.]

 

REFLECTION

A person who is truly in the Path of Light, in thought and in practice, will naturally turn out to be cheerful. If a person refuses, consciously or unconsciously, to release dense energy blockages from within, then higher Light cannot flow down the lower self as much as it should, thus causing a state of ‘grim and determined’ mood.

As a social activist of long standing, I had deep scorn for fellow activist leaders who were ‘grim and determined’. They turned out to be fanatical hardliners, and were defenders of social tenets as stiff dogma. When they spoke before the public, they discoursed in the ‘brimstone and fire’ manner, lacking humor and life.

 

Strive to release dense energies from within you, caused by very long conditions of psychological disorder that you may have possessed for so many lives, so as to effectively let higher Light flow through you. There are meditation tools available to achieve results.

Do not be imposing your presence upon a guru of the Teaching by stubbornly sticking on to your dense states of disordered selves. Being so, you will lack the cheerfulness that is expected of any worker of Light, and will dogmatize the Teaching as well as make a cult out of the founding Master of the group or teachings represented by your guru.
