ATTENTION DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

ATTENTION DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION!

The ability to read and comprehend written language is a fundamental skill that is crucial to achieving success in life. However, there is a prevalent misconception that the ability to read is the only factor that determines one's reading ability. In reality, there are several other factors that impact reading proficiency, including interest, motivation, and comprehension. In this article, I argue that there is no difference between a person who doesn't know how to read and someone who doesn't understand what they are reading or someone who is not interested in reading. I also argue that students are failing in reading literacy because they are not interested in what they are forced to read in schools. I further contend that children should be the ones to tell their teacher when they are interested in learning how to read, rather than being forced to do so. They should only read what they are interested in, not what the school wants them to read.

The ability to read is often considered to be the foundation of academic success. However, the act of reading involves more than just recognizing and sounding out words. It also involves comprehension and understanding of the text being read. A person who is not interested in reading, or who does not understand what they are reading, will not be able to derive any meaningful benefit from reading, regardless of their ability to recognize words on a page. Thus, there is no practical difference between a person who does not know how to read and someone who does not understand what they are reading.

One of the reasons for the failure of students in reading literacy is the lack of interest in what they are forced to read in schools. Many students find reading to be a chore, rather than a pleasure, because they are not given the opportunity to choose what they read. Instead, they are forced to read books that are deemed appropriate by their teachers or the school curriculum. This approach can be counterproductive because it fails to take into account the interests and reading levels of individual students. As a result, many students become disengaged from reading altogether.

This is where the importance of student choice comes into play. Children should be allowed to choose what they want to read, based on their interests and reading levels. When students are given the freedom to choose what they want to read, they are more likely to become engaged and motivated to read. This, in turn, can lead to improved reading proficiency, as students are more likely to put in the effort required to understand the material they are reading.

In conclusion, children should be given the opportunity to choose what they read based on their interests and reading levels. By doing so, they are more likely to become engaged and motivated to read, which can lead to improved reading proficiency. Therefore, it is essential to prioritize student choice in reading education to ensure that students develop a love for reading that will last a lifetime.

I CHOSE MY PARENTS

I CHOSE MY PARENTS

The idea that we choose our own parents may seem radical to some, but it is a concept that has been explored by many spiritual traditions and belief systems. According to this theory, before we are born, our souls make a conscious decision to enter into a particular family and life situation in order to learn and grow in certain ways.

For me, this idea of pre-birth planning makes a lot of sense, especially when I look at my own life and experiences. I have always had a deep sense of purpose and a feeling that there was something I was meant to do in this world. When I discovered my past life as a bishop in France, it provided a missing piece to the puzzle of my life's purpose.

Growing up, I was surrounded by certain cultural and linguistic influences that seemed to point to a connection with Europe. My father's love for the accordion and my relatives' fluency in French all seemed to hint at a past life connection. Additionally, my own passion for creating positive change in the world aligns with the idea that my soul may have been involved in social and political movements in a past life.

Of course, there is no way to prove definitively that these connections are real or that we do indeed choose our own parents. However, for me, this belief provides a sense of meaning and purpose that is deeply fulfilling. It allows me to see my life experiences as part of a larger plan and to trust that everything happens for a reason.

Furthermore, the idea of choosing our own parents also implies a level of responsibility for our own lives. If we believe that we are not just passive recipients of our life circumstances but active participants in their creation, then we can take greater ownership of our choices and actions. We can recognize that we have the power to shape our own destiny and to create the life we want to live.

While the idea of choosing our own parents may seem unconventional, it can provide a sense of purpose and meaning to our lives. By recognizing the connections between our past lives and our current experiences, we can gain a deeper understanding of our life's purpose and take greater responsibility for our own growth and development. Ultimately, this belief can help us live more fulfilling and intentional lives.

I WILL NOT DIE UNLESS I WANT TO DIE

I WILL NOT DIE UNLESS I WANT TO DIE.

The fear of death is a common human experience. It is natural to wonder what happens after we die and to feel apprehensive about the unknown. However, there are some who do not fear death and believe that they will not die unless they want to die. This belief is often rooted in spiritual or religious beliefs about the afterlife.

For example, many Christians believe that Jesus abolished death and that believers have eternal life. This belief is based on the teachings of the Bible, particularly in the New Testament. In 2 Timothy 1:10, it is written that Jesus "abolished death, and he has proclaimed life and immortality through the Good News." This passage suggests that death is not the end for believers, but rather a transition to eternal life in the presence of God.

This belief in immortality and eternal life can provide comfort to those who are facing death or who have lost loved ones. It can also inspire people to live their lives in a way that reflects their belief in the afterlife. For example, some Christians may strive to live a life that is pleasing to God so that they can be reunited with Him in the afterlife.

However, it is important to note that belief in immortality and eternal life is not limited to Christianity. Many other religions and spiritual traditions also teach that the soul is immortal and that death is not the end. For example, Hinduism teaches that the soul is eternal and that it is reborn into new bodies after death. Buddhism teaches that death is a natural part of the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, and that the soul can achieve enlightenment and escape this cycle.

Whether or not one believes in immortality and eternal life, the fact remains that death is a natural part of the human experience. It is a transition that we will all face at some point in our lives. However, for those who believe in the afterlife, death is not the end, but rather a new beginning.

The belief that one will not die unless they want to die is often rooted in spiritual or religious beliefs about the afterlife. For many, this belief provides comfort and inspiration, and can help them live their lives in a way that reflects their belief in the afterlife. However, regardless of one's beliefs about the afterlife, it is important to remember that death is a natural part of the human experience, and that it is something that we will all face at some point in our lives.

MY LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL CELEBRITY ANECDOTES

MY LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL CELEBRITY ANECDOTES 

What exactly does it mean to be a celebrity? Different dictionaries define a celebrity as a well-known individual, a star, a luminary, someone famous or infamous, popular, a personality, an idol, a success story, someone with a name, someone prominent, someone with prestige, someone with distinction, notable, publicly acclaimed, or glorified.

Why do people celebrate celebrities and hold them in such high esteem? Is it because they have qualities or characteristics that endear them to their fans? Or is it because people look for popular figures to serve as their role models? Regardless, there must be certain traits or qualities that people admire and love about these celebrities.
 
Aspiring to become a celebrity, I developed a certain image by exploring my passions. I pursued a degree in Theater Arts in college because I loved acting, which led to me landing bit roles in movies like "Moises Arcanghel" with Eddie Garcia and a telenovela called "Valiente" where I played the role of a mayor.

I also had a desire to sing and ended up joining a band called WADAB, where we performed our hit song "Pagtumatagal Lalong Tumitibay." Starting my collection of celebrity stories, I'll begin with my own personal experience.
 
I once went to a magazine stand to purchase a song hit magazine featuring our group on the cover. As I was about to pay for some copies, the sales girl didn't recognize me and mentioned that she had a crush on one of the members of WADAB. Suspecting that she was referring to me, I asked her to point out which member she had a crush on. She pointed to my picture, and I excitedly revealed that I was that guy. However, she looked at me skeptically and glanced back at the picture, stating that I only looked handsome in photos and not in person. Despite her unflattering comment, I was still happy.
 
LEA SALONGA

One day, Lea Salonga's mother requested that I join them at a television station. While we were waiting for her turn, Lea, her uncle Gerard, and I sat together and shared stories on a small circular stage. Unexpectedly, a Fresnel light hanging from the stage's batten fell and landed close to where Lea was seated. It was a potentially fatal accident, and it always comes to mind whenever I see Lea now.

RICO J. PUNO

Before Rico J. Puno achieved stardom, I had already met him. After his TV appearances, he would typically ask me to accompany him to the station's gate to catch a cab. Months later, after receiving several gold record awards and attending a party hosted by then-President Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos in Malacañang, he asked me once again to accompany him. This time, not to hail a cab, but to his newly acquired Mercedes Benz.

FREDDIE AGUILAR 

While promoting Freddie's "Anak" album under Vicor, we received an invitation for Freddie Aguilar to perform in Bataan. I expressed my concern about driving there, but Freddie rented a black limousine and we rode in the back, enjoying the luxurious ride like rock stars.

ASIN

During an interview with Asin, a folk group from Mindanao, I noticed their discomfort. I later asked them about it since I knew they were skilled in Tagalog, evident from their beautiful Tagalog lyrics. They revealed that their secret was frequently consulting an English-Tagalog dictionary to select the appropriate words.
 
MAE RIVERA

It's not fair to judge someone as outdated or unsuccessful. Mae Rivera, who had been rejected by multiple record companies, approached me to audition her album. Many people criticized her singing style, calling it baduy or only suitable for the masses, among other negative things. But when I signed her up, her song "Aray" became a hit and sold double platinum, and everyone's perception of her changed overnight.

COOKY CHUA

Cooky Chua used to be a timid student of Butch Albarracin. One night, while singing at a piano bar, she abruptly stopped and left. When we asked her what happened and why she was crying, she revealed that her parents disapproved of her singing, and she had seen her mother enter the bar. We apologized to her mother and promised not to let her continue singing. To our surprise, her mother gave her blessings after learning that Cooky was actually a very talented singer.
 
JAMIE TIVERA

During a UST singing contest that Jamie Rivera participated in, she missed her cue on the first line of her song. She stopped and requested another chance from the judges, which included me, Jose Mari Chan, and others. We agreed, and she ultimately won the contest. Although I wanted to sign her up, we already had too many talents. Instead, I recommended her to OctoArts Records, and she was immediately signed up. Later, she joined the cast of Miss Saigon as Kim.

SHARON CUNETA
 
When Sharon Cuneta was only 12 years old and not yet famous, I met her. She was scheduled to appear on a TV show but couldn't leave her house because she lacked transportation to the station. Her uncle, Tito Sotto, instructed her nanny to take a cab to Vicor. When they arrived, I borrowed a makeup kit from a coworker so we could apply makeup to her as I drove her to the station. She used to affectionately call me her yayo.

REY VALERA

At the time, Sharon and Rey Valera, the composer of "Mr. DJ," were not a priority for our record company. Some people thought Sharon was too young, and Rey lacked star quality. However, I believed in their potential and carried out underground promotions for them. Within two weeks, their songs became huge hits. I was reprimanded for promoting them without the department's knowledge, and as a result, I was fired and my car was repossessed.

MARC VELASCO

 When singer-composer Marc Velasco submitted his audition tape for the hit song "Ordinary Song" to Sony Music, he neglected to leave a phone number or address. I fell in love with the songs and kept playing them, hoping that the singer would contact me. After more than a year, Perf de Castro, a renowned guitar virtuoso, sent me a tape to audition. It turned out to be the same album I had been listening to. I hurried to the Hobbit House, where I discovered that Marc was performing.

ANDREW E.

No one expected Andrew E to make a comeback after ten years, and he was rejected by several record companies when he brought his latest album to them. When he came to me, he didn't let me listen to his album, but instead rapped some of the songs live. Despite this unconventional approach, I decided to sign him up, much to his surprise. Andrew E's albums under Sony Music went on to become multi-platinum sellers, with one of the hit songs being "Banyo Queen."

MARY MCGREGOR 

I had to shuttle Mary McGregor back and forth between the airport and hotel several times because she was a standby passenger, which was quite frustrating after waiting for a long time only to be told that she couldn't board the plane.

BEYONCÉ

During my time in Phuket, Thailand, I had the opportunity to meet Destiny's Child members Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams. However, they were unable to perform due to Beyoncé's throat problems.

CELINE DION

In 1996, I had the privilege of watching Celine Dion's amazing performance in Brisbane, Australia. After the show, as a moderator of the event, I helped other guests get their CDs signed and was even invited to her backstage birthday celebration and mini press conference as a Sony Music executive.

JOHN MCVIE
 
One morning, a man who identified himself as John McVie from Fleetwood Mac contacted me after seeing my name and picture in the newspaper. After confirming his identity, I promptly booked him for a noontime TV show. Later, we returned to Los Baños where he was vacationing with his brother-in-law, and to our surprise, many fans wanted to meet him after seeing him on the TV show.

STEPHEN BISHOP

When Stephen Bishop first visited Manila, he had no concert or album to promote and was there for personal reasons that I am unable to disclose. As a representative of my record company, I spent a week with him, accompanying him to bars and video arcades. People were often surprised when I mentioned his name, asking if he was the real Stephen Bishop.
 
MANHATTAN TRANSFER 

 During my time at WEA Records, my boss asked me to accompany the international jazz group Manhattan Transfer to buy souvenirs. I happily agreed and took them to Ils de Tuls, which is located under a bridge in Quiapo. The smiles on their faces showed that they thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

RUPERT HOLMES

Working in the advertising and promotions department of a record company is a great opportunity to meet international stars like Rupert Holmes. When he visited Manila and appeared on TV shows, I had the pleasure of showing him around the city. We dined together and conversed like old friends. After learning that I also compose music, he inscribed in his album, "To Tato, the greatest composer in the world." Signed, Rupert Holmes.

.MAUREEN MCGOVERN 

Following Maureen McGovern's concert, we took her to Pagsanjan Falls and rode a banca through the rapids. Afterwards, we rented a speedboat and toured Lake Caliraya. It was a lavish and luxurious experience, fit for the rich and famous.
 
ISAAC HAYES

On the way to the Folk Arts Theater, Isaac Hayes rode with me in my car because his entourage had gone ahead. However, when we reached the artists' entrance, a guard stopped us because I did not have a car pass. In frustration, I threatened the guard that he should perform himself if he would not let us in. But when the guard realized that my companion was the real Isaac Hayes, he apologized, saluted shakily, and allowed us to enter.

SANDPIPERS 

I also recall the time when the Sandpipers traveled with me in my car after a TV guesting on the way back to their hotel. Unfortunately, we experienced a flat tire in the middle of a busy street in Sampaloc, Manila, under the scorching afternoon sun. It was quite a sight to see an internationally popular group fixing a flat tire themselves.

KAMALAYAN AS A COURSE SHOULD BE TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS NOW.

KAMALAYAN AS A COURSE SHOULD BE TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS NOW.

In today's world, where we face one crisis after another, it is essential that we understand the nature of consciousness or "kamalayan" as a required course. Our negative collective consciousness has created the crises we face today, and if we want to survive, we must learn how our consciousness creates our reality.

Our country is facing difficulties because many people in charge of our government, businesses, and other institutions, who achieved excellent grades by memorizing information, lack proper critical thinking skills. Sharif Abdullah, in his book "Creating a World that Works for All," points out that the issue is not the current state of affairs but the consciousness that led to it. Therefore, the solution must involve developing a new level of consciousness. To achieve this, we must transform students into better individuals who can think holistically and achieve self-mastery. We need to guide them in discovering their true calling, allowing them to attract a world filled with love, abundance, and happiness. Additionally, we must teach students how to overcome crises and navigate the challenges of life.
 
The present educational system is not equipped to teach us about consciousness. It is based on the assumption that the only questions worth asking are those for which we already have answers. This approach does not allow for exploration or inquiry, which are essential to understanding consciousness. To learn about consciousness, we need a new educational model that encourages questioning, exploration, and inquiry.


Consciousness, or "kamalayan" in Tagalog, refers to the awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It is the essence of our being and the source of all our thoughts and actions. Our consciousness is not limited to our individual selves but is part of a collective consciousness that shapes the world we live in. This collective consciousness is responsible for the crises we face today.

To understand how our consciousness creates our reality, we need to learn about the principles of consciousness. We need to understand that our thoughts and emotions are energy that can influence the world around us. We need to learn how to focus our thoughts and emotions to create positive change in ourselves and the world. We need to understand that we are not victims of circumstance but creators of our reality.

Learning about consciousness is not a luxury but a necessity. As we face one crisis after another, we need to understand how our consciousness contributes to these crises. We need to learn how to shift our consciousness from a negative to a positive state to create a better world. We need to learn how to live with the uncertainties of the real world and create positive change in the face of adversity.

The educational model we need to learn about consciousness is one that encourages exploration, inquiry, and questioning. It should be based on the understanding that there are no fixed answers but only possibilities. It should encourage students to think critically, creatively, and independently. It should provide opportunities for students to explore their own consciousness and develop their own understanding of the world.

A NEW WORLD IS BEING CREATED NOW BY A NEW BREED OF PEOPLE, NOT BY GOVERNMENTS.

A NEW WORLD IS BEING CREATED NOW BY A NEW BREED OF PEOPLE, NOT BY GOVERNMENTS.

In the midst of the chaos and uncertainty that we face today, a new world is being created. This world is not being built by governments or political leaders, but by a new breed of people who recognize that change must come from within. For thousands of years, we have attempted to solve the problems that plague humankind through governmental action and political means, but the reality is that these efforts have fallen short. The change that must be made can be made only in the hearts of men.

Today, we are presented with an incredible opportunity to create a new world, one that is based on love, compassion, and unity. However, we cannot achieve this if we continue to cling to our old beliefs that are based on the old energy. The earth's consciousness has shifted to a higher density, and for us to survive, we must change our beliefs. We must level up our way of thinking and become a new human being.

The new breed of people who are creating this new world are those who have recognized that the old ways of doing things are no longer effective. They understand that true change comes from within and that it is only by changing ourselves that we can change the world. These individuals are not bound by traditional beliefs, but rather they are guided by a deep inner knowing that there is a better way.

The new world that is being created is one that is based on cooperation, collaboration, and community. It is a world where we recognize that we are all interconnected and that the actions of one person can have a profound impact on the entire planet. This new world is not based on competition, greed, or individualism, but rather on a deep understanding of our shared humanity.

To truly create this new world, we must let go of our old beliefs and embrace a new way of being. We must let go of the belief that we are separate from one another and instead recognize that we are all part of a greater whole. We must let go of the belief that we need to compete with one another and instead embrace the idea of collaboration and cooperation. We must let go of the idea that we are limited in our abilities and instead recognize the infinite potential that exists within each and every one of us.

Creating this new world will not be easy, and it will require us to face some uncomfortable truths about ourselves and the world we live in. But if we are willing to do the work, if we are willing to let go of our old beliefs and embrace a new way of being, then we have the potential to create a world that is truly magnificent.

In conclusion, a new world is being created right now by a new breed of people, not by governments. We cannot solve the problems that plague humankind through governmental action or political means. The change that must be made can only be made in the hearts of men. If we are willing to do the work, then we have the potential to create a world that is based on love, compassion, and unity.

(SELF-EDUCATION Part2)

(SELF-EDUCATION Part 2)
You can find all the information and lessons you want to learn in the internet especially Google and You Tube. Attend seminars relevant to what you’re interested in. Once you become so good, no one can ignore you even if you don’t have a diploma or a degree. 

There really are no dumb people. You just need to know what it is that you really want to do. You have to try your hands at different things at least once or twice to find out what you enjoy doing and which you can eventually turn into a profession. To learn something of value, you have to commit time and discipline to it. And remember, it has to be fun too, or else forget it. I became successful in my career because I was enthusiastic about it and had lots of fun doing it. 

More Fun in Self-Education  

My self-education  is exactly the opposite of my experience in school. In school you must accept certain conditions and policies. You must study what teachers tell you to study. You have no choice. You have to pass their tests because they have to give you grades as a supposed measurement of what you have learned. I am concerned with so many out-of-school youths, unemployed graduates, underachievers, and unhappy individuals who think that their education has failed them. You only think it has. In truth, college has equipped you with knowledge and skills that can take you up to a certain level of success in life. 

Most lessons we learn in school will only be relevant for two years or less because of the fast changing times. After two years or so, you will have to study again. You will have to re-tool, so to speak. But where will you find the new learning you need? Not from school anymore. Teachers have taught you what their syllabi required them to teach you. This time you will have to educate yourself. This is the reason why I’m trying to explain the difference between self-education and traditional education. 

What is True Education? 

What is education? Education is not memorizing a considerable amount of facts. It is not being physically present in classrooms, or passing exams. It is not passively accepting what the teachers say or following rules. Education is what happens to you after learning something. Knowledge is important in your education only if it changes you or makes you a better person. Becoming more mindful, powerful, insightful, and more attuned to life is what knowledge through education should bring. Otherwise, if the quality of life does not change for the better, then you have not been educated properly. Our lives can change for the better primarily by changing our thinking. We can build happier, healthier, harmonious, more comfortable lives by adopting more dynamic thinking that can make us win over the challenges of living in today’s hectic environment. Schools should be able to encourage and effect new and dynamic thinking.

SELF-EDUCATION IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Self-Education is the Major Key to Success in the 21st Century 

I considered myself a failure when I realized that I never learned anything even after spending several years in school. The only things I learned which I had practical use of were reading, writing,  counting, and speaking.  Beyond that I was completely uneducated. It was only when I quit school where I pursued what I call my self-education. I became obsessed with success  and bought books that empowered my life by learning universal laws and principles of success. Immediately,  things turned for the better. I got involved in different careers like radio announcing, teaching,  being a recording executive and government employee, stage/movie/tv acting, singing, composing, book author, inspirational speaker, life coaching, and a few more. 

Yuval Noah Harari said in his latest book "21 Lessons for the 21st Century"  that the 4 most important C's to learn are critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity.
In this period of great change due to technological advancements, traditional lifestyles and careers have become obsolete. A new way of thinking brought about by holistic education or education of the whole person is needed to survive in this 21st century. Never stop learning. Read a lot. They say rich people have massive libraries while poor people have huge flat TVs. Take a lot of risks and adopt a rich mindset while you're young. To be successful, happy, healthy, and financially comfortable in life, you have to be engaged in varying degrees in activities that you enjoy doing or excite you a lot. Among those activities should be those that earn you money. Know all the  things that excite you and find out what the world needs. You have to commit your self to master these things.  

Getting an education is definitely important. But then don’t ever think your education stops as soon as you get out of school. You can learn so much even after school and outside school. Likewise, don’t ever think you’ll never have a future without a diploma. You can create your own business that can earn you as much as you desire for as long as you’re willing to devote time, skills, and all modes of efforts (including spiritual) to the income you desire. 

There are many alternatives now to formal schooling. I’ve been studying a lot myself but I don’t attend school anymore. School is short-term. Education is a lifelong task. 
So what should you be learning for your own good (and, in effect, for the good of your loved ones and of the country as well)? 

First, Know What You Enjoy and Excite You 

To be successful, happy, healthy, and financially comfortable in life, you have to be engaged in varying degrees in activities that you enjoy doing or excite you a lot. Among those activities should be those that earn you money that can make your life comfortable.

(Yes, attending webinars is like going to school for a day or two, but the atmosphere in a webinar is more relaxed, and lecturers often have a very good sense of humor.) Your enthusiasm will lead you to people who can help you learn more. Once you become so good, no one can ignore you even if you don’t have a diploma or a degree. 

There really are no dumb people. You just need to know what it is that you really want to do. You have to try your hands at different things at least once or twice to find out what you enjoy doing and which you can eventually turn into a profession.

IN SCHOOL YOU GRADUATE WITH ONE DEGREE. IN SELF- EDUCATION THROUGH MY ONLINE KAMALAYAN LIFE-LONG LEARNING CENTER, IT'S LIKE EARNING SEVERAL DEGREES WITHOUT EXAMS AND REQUIREMENTS.

How would I describe myself now? Before I used to describe myself with the companies I worked with & the positions I held. I remember a friend telling me that he had collected 10 calling cards from me from 10 different companies & was confused as to what I really did. Now I say that I am happy helping people discover their true selves. I am a free spirit.

When I got out of school & worked with a theater group, my parents told me to quit & instead get a real job. Since I took up Theater Arts in college I was confused as to what they meant. Just to please them I worked in the government. After nine months, I knew I wasn’t cut out for a “real job.” After forty years of circling around from one company to another I finally found a direction that I’m happy doing. 

Why did I put up Kamalayan Libraries? Because I have hundreds of books I collected through the years and I want to share them with others. I could have sold them or have given them away but what I realized was that I became successful in my different careers by reading these books. Let me start by sharing that I never studied, or rather, took my studies seriously during my elementary, high school, and college years. All that was required of me by my parents was a diploma. I did the worst to ensure my graduation. I befriended my teachers, bribed my classmates to do my home work, or simply just failed some subjects and took them up again.

When I finally got out from college, I applied for jobs in different companies but was not accepted because I failed the IQ tests. It dawned on me that I never learned anything from school and even the few things I learned could not even help me get a decent job. I felt sort of depressed and it made me decide to do something about my life. I started reading my old textbooks thinking that I could make up for the lost time. 

Then I met an old friend who graduated summa cum laude from a prestigious school. I told him how lucky he was to have a good job and how miserable my case was. What he told me was something that completely changed my life. He said that I was luckier because he had a hard time unlearning most of the things he learned from school and here I was with nothing to unlearn. I felt insulted but he continued and suggested that I could read and study the newest books and learn the latest concepts which are relevant in this day and age without much struggle in unlearning deeply embedded, outmoded beliefs like what he had experienced.

I made the bookstores my library and searched for information which would provide me the new knowledge I needed to become successful. I read and bought as many as 15 books a month by authors like John Naisbit, Deepak Chopra, Og Mandino, Robert Kiyosaki, Wayne Dyer, Ernest Holmes, Marilyn Ferguson, Stephen Covey, AlvinToffler, Anthony Robbins, and practiced whatever lessons I learned from them. I simply learned how to learn and got myself into a life- long-learning process.

I remember visiting a friend in his office where I met and conversed with the owner of the company he worked for. His boss was amazed with the modern knowledge I shared. To my friend’s surprise, I was offered by his boss to manage a big department in their company. I became too successful doing the job and was offered free travels abroad, a new car, and a fat salary. Months later, I was pirated by another company and I never had to apply for a job from then on. As a matter of fact, I‘d even resign from one company and immediately I would be offered by another competing company.

By studying modern books, I was able to develop two intelligences which I took for granted in my early years. I honed my interpersonal and intrapersonal skills in the process. The books I read were mostly about relationships and knowing about oneself. Later did I realize that I transformed into a better person. When low moments came into my life, I motivated and talked myself out of those situations and came out a winner. I created a new level of consciousness in me. Whatever I wanted, I was able to manifest it easily in my life. I discovered new principles and a new way of thinking which were very powerful. Had I learned these principles before when I was still a student, I could have radically changed the course of my life much earlier. I discovered that I can train my right brain which dealt with creativity, emotions, and the unknown, and eventually learned to use also my neglected left brain which dealt with logic, mathematics, and facts, which were what I needed when I was in school. It was only now that I realized how our educational system can become transformational by teaching whole- brain thinking.

In this period of great change due to technological advancements, traditional lifestyles and careers have become obsolete. A new way of thinking brought about by holistic education or education of the whole person is needed to survive in this 21st century. Learning –how- to learn and life- long- learning processes are what’s necessary now.  Many already have joined my Kamalayan learning groups dealing with interesting new concepts found in modern books like "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle and "Conversations with God" by Neale Donald Walsch. These books should be required reading not only for students but most especially for teachers. We can transform culture through education only if the teachers themselves are transformed first. A new world will emerge if we change the content of education of our children.

There is no One True Calling or Destiny. We are Multipotentialites as how Emilie Wapnick describes it in her book "How To Be Everything." What creates unhappiness in our life is the belief in the myth that we are here for just one purpose, that we are here in this world to fulfill what we came here for. The question "What do you want to be?" had created more damage and confusion in our lives forcing us to create a single identity.

SELF EDUCATION OR STUDY FROM HOME (SFH) THROUGH KAMALAYAN LIFE-LONG LEARNING IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS IN THE 21st CENTURY. 

I would like to remind you all that studying does not end in graduation. You are students for life. You have to keep on learning new subjects, new concepts, new principles and many more. Now is the best time to educate yourself because no teacher is going to pressure you, no grades to work for, and no need to wake up early to be in time for class.
You now have the opportunity to choose the' real' subjects you would like to learn unless you still don't know who you are and what you want. I won't blame you for that because I know many schools still don't teach their students who they are because the teachers themselves don't know who they are as well. If you don't understand who you are, you will just put up things around you to justify your existence. You don't have to do that. KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT AND DO IT. You can create a wonderful life the way you want it only if you know how to use your Consciousness or Kamalayan. You are not only students for life but STUDENTS OF LIFE! The learning starts now. Study now at the Kamalayan Learning Alternative Success System (KLASS) daily at 5:15 pm in Facebook Live.

MY LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL CELEBRITY ANECDOTES

MY LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL CELEBRITY ANECDOTES

What does being a celebrity really mean? According to different dictionaries, a celebrity is a well-known person, a star, luminary, famous, infamous, popular, a personality, idol, somebody, renown, a success story, has a name, is prominent, has prestige, has distinction, notable, publicly acclaimed and glorified.

What is there to celebrate in celebrities? Why do people extol them? Is it because something endeared them to their fans? Or is it because others would look for popular personalities to become their role models? Either way, people must have found certain qualities or traits in these celebrities they admire and love.

I, myself,  became a celebrity without intending to be one. I acquired an image of sorts when I tried experimenting doing things I loved doing. I took up Theater Arts in college because I loved acting. I became an actor on stage, film and television, appearing in bit roles in movies like Moises Arcangel with Eddie Garcia and in a telenovela titled Valiente where I played the role of a mayor.

I also wanted to sing and I ended up joining a band called WADAB singing our hit song Pagtumatagal Lalong Tumitibay. I’ll start my celebrity anecdotes with my own personal experience.

One day I went to a magazine stand to buy a song hit magazine where our group was featured on its cover. When I was about to pay for some copies, the sales girl not recognizing who I was said that she has a crush on one of the members of WADAB. Sensing that I was the one, I asked her to point which one she has a crush on. She pointed at my picture and I excitedly told her that I was that guy. She looked at me quizzically and looked at the picture again. She commented, “You’re only handsome in pictures and not in person.”  Anyway, I was still happy even after hearing her unflattering remark. 

Lea Salonga’s mom one day asked me to accompany them to a TV station. While waiting for her cue, we sat and shared stories around a small, round stage, with her brother Gerard. Unknowingly, a Fresnel light hanging from the batten fell and landed close to where Lea was seated. Somebody could have been killed because of that accident. Whenever I see Lea now, I couldn’t help but recall that almost unfortunate incident.

I met Rico J. Puno before he became a star. Usually after TV appearances, he’d ask me to accompany him to the gate of the station to hail a taxicab. Months later and several gold record awards to his name, after a party in Malacañang, hosted by then Pres. Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos, he asked me once again to accompany him, not anymore to get a cab, but to his brand-new Mercedes Benz.

We can’t really judge anyone as passé or down and out. After being rejected by several record companies, Mae Rivera came to see me to audition her album. Many commented that her singing style was baduy or downright targeted for the masses among other negative things said about her.

When I signed her up, the song Aray became a hit and sold double-platinum. Everyone
changed perception of her overnight.

Cooky Chua was a shy student of Butch Albarracin. While singing in a piano bar, she stopped abruptly and headed for the exit. We asked what went wrong and why she was crying. She saw her mom enter and confessed that her parents disapproved of her singing. We apologized to her mom and promised that we will not let her continue singing. Surprisingly, the mom gave her blessings upon learning that she was a very good singer.

In a UST singing contest where Jamie Rivera joined, she missed her cue on the first line of her song. She stopped and asked the judges composed of Jose Mari Chan, me, and others, that she be given another chance. We agreed and eventually she won the contest. I wanted to sign her up but we had too many talents already. I recommended her to OctoArts Records and she immediately was signed up and later joined Miss Saigon as Kim.

When Marc Velasco, singer-composer of the hit Ordinary Song, submitted his audition tape to Sony Music, he didn’t leave a phone number or address. I immediately fell in love with the songs and kept playing them hoping that the singer will call or show up. After more than a year, Perf de Castro, the renowned guitar virtuoso, sent me a tape to audition. It was exactly the same album I was listening to. I rushed to Hobbit House where I learned Marc was performing.

I met Sharon Cuneta when she was just 12 and not yet a star. She was to guest in a TV show but said she couldn’t leave the house because she had no car to take her to the station. Her uncle Tito Sotto told
her yaya to take a cab to Vicor. When they arrived, I borrowed a make-up kit from an officemate so we could put make-up on her while I drove her to the station. I fondly remember her when she’d call me her yayo.

Sharon and Rey Valera, the composer of Mr. DJ, were not in the priority list in our record company then. Some said that Sharon was too young and Rey didn’t have star quality. Since I believed in their potential, I did underground promotions and within two weeks their songs became big hits. I was reprimanded because I promoted them without the knowledge of the department. I was fired and my car was repossessed.

I had this experience of bringing back and forth at least four times to the airport and hotel Mary McGregor because she was a chance passenger. You can just imagine the frustration after waiting so long and be informed that she can’t board the plane.

I also had the chance to meet Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams when they were still known together as Destiny’s Child in Phuket, Thailand. Unfortunately during that time, they couldn’t perform because Beyoncé had throat problems.

I had a chance to watch Celine Dion in Brisbane, Australia in 1996. After watching her superb performance, we, Sony Music execs, were invited to her birthday celebration and mini presscon backstage. I even helped other guests have their CDs signed since I acted as moderator of the event.

One morning a guy claiming he was John McVie of the Fleetwood Mac called me. He said he saw my name and picture in the papers. To cut it short, he came and the moment I was convinced he was
John, I booked him in a TV noontime show. We brought him back to Los Baños later where he was vacationing with his brother-in-law and we were surprised to see a lot of fans wanting to meet him after seeing him in the TV show.

The first time Stephen Bishop came to Manila, he didn’t have any concert or an album to promote. He came here for personal reasons which I can’t share. I was assigned by my record company to be with him wherever he wanted to go for one week. We’d go around bars and video arcades and people were surprised when I mentioned his name to them. “Are you the real Stephen Bishop?”, they’d ask.

When I was still with WEA Records, my boss asked me if could accompany our visiting international jazz group Manhattan Transfer to buy some souvenirs. Sure I said. And I brought them to Ils de Tuls. Where is that? Ilalim ng tulay sa Quiapo. Judging from the smiles on their faces, I knew they really enjoyed the experience.

One thing nice about working in the advertising and promotions department of a record company is the chance to meet international stars like Rupert Holmes. I took him around Manila when he guested in TV shows. We had lunch and dinner together talking as if we were old friends. When he learned that I also tried composing, he wrote in his album “To Tato, the greatest composer in the world.” Signed Rupert Holmes.

After the concert of Maureen McGovern, we took her to Pagsanjan Falls where we rode a banca and shot the rapids. Later, we took her to Lake Caliraya where we rented a speed boat. Well, lifestyle of the rich and famous.

Isaac Hayes rode with me in my car on the way to the Folk Arts Theater because the members of his entourage went ahead. The guard in the artists’ entrance stopped my car since I didn’t have a car pass. I angrily told the guard that if he’ll not let us in, he’d better look for a costume and perform by himself. Realizing that my companion was the real Isaac Hayes, he apologized, gave a shaky salute and let us in.

I remember that time when the Sandpipers rode in my car from a TV guesting on the way back to their hotel. My car suffered a flat tire in the middle of a busy street somewhere in Sampaloc, Manila. It was a sight watching an international popular group fix a flat tire under a scorching afternoon sun.

When I was working then with Vicor promoting his Anak album, Freddie Aguilar got an invitation to perform in Bataan. I told him I didn’t trust bringing my car all the way there. “No problem,” he said. He rented a black limousine and we sat at the back of the limo and enjoyed the ride in the fashion of how rock stars did it.

When Asin, a folk group from Mindanao, was interviewed on radio, I noticed that they were not comfortable. Later, I asked them what their problem was since I knew they were good in Tagalog based from the beautiful Tagalog lyrics they’ve written on their songs. Their secret, they told me, was the fact that they referred often to the English-Tagalog dictionary for the right choices of words.

After a decade, nobody thought Andrew E would be big again. He brought his latest album to several record companies and was turned down. I was the last one he talked to but didn’t let me listen to his album. He just rapped some of the songs live and to his surprise I told him I’ll sign him up. Andrew E‘s albums under Sony Music became multi-platinum sellers. By the way, one of the hit songs in his album was Banyo Queen.

Many recording artists did not like some of their hit songs for whatever reason. The late Bella Tan of Universal Records questioned my decision in not signing up Cooky Chua’s band Color It Red when their song Paglisan became a hit. I showed her the demo tape they submitted and pointed to her that that song was not included. Up to now, Cooky doesn’t like to sing that song for unknown reasons.

The same case with Noel Cabangon. I insisted that if ever I sign him up, he should include Kanlungan (Panapanahon). In his album produced by the Jesuit Communication, he did include it and the song became a big hit but only after several years since we last talked.

Some unfortunate misses I experienced in the recording scene was when a group featuring three girls called Silk Band auditioned to me. I told their manager to remove one girl because she didn’t blend with the group because of her R&B vocal style. She opted to go solo but I still couldn’t take her in because she sounded like Mariah Carey, who was our bestselling international artist in Sony Music then. Nevertheless, Nina, her name, became a very popular R&B artist.

Seven years earlier, another R&B female singer was signed up by us under Diamond Star Music and her name was changed by Maricel Soriano and Manny Valera to Jasmine Arroyo. I was hired by Sony Music and left without finishing her project. Seven years later, she joined the Metropop singing competition. I still couldn’t sign her up because she too sounded very much like Mariah Carey. Her new name? Kyla.

Marco Sison at first didn’t like his hit song Make Believe, saying that there was something wrong with the lyrics.

The CompanY, a jazz pop group, recorded a song in its first album titled Everlasting Love which they didn’t like to promote because it wasn’t jazzy enough. They didn’t even like the title. I told their producers that that was the only song in the album that was going to be a hit and the words “Everlasting Love” are what people will remember. True enough, it became a hit and they had to record another song which sounded the same to be their follow-up single.

Jojo Alejar hated me then for forcing him to sing Reality and Boulevard, both cover songs which became big hits.

In Jenine Desiderio’s case, it was the opposite. I told her I was going to sign her up if she was willing to do a Tagalog adaptation of the song Superwoman titled Hindi Ako Si Darna, written by Jojo Alejar. She said yes without any hesitation and did a wonderful rendition of it.

From a new bible called The Galactic Testament - ZIUSUDRA IS THE MAN'S SUMERIAN NAME. HE IS UTNAPISHTIM IN THE BABYLONIAN VERSION. ATRAHASIS IS HIS AKKADIAN NAME AND NOAH IS HIS NAME IN HEBREW.

From a new bible called The Galactic Testament - 
Ziusudra is the man’s Sumerian name. He is Utnapishtim in the Babylonian version. Atrahasis is his Akkadian name and Noah is his name in Hebrew.

The story of Ziusudra, Utnapishtim, and Atrahasis is a well-known narrative in ancient Near Eastern literature that tells the tale of how these legendary figures managed to survive a catastrophic flood that destroyed much of the known world. Interestingly, this story bears a striking resemblance to the Biblical story of Noah's Ark, which also features a flood and an ark that is constructed to save humanity and the animal kingdom. While there are many similarities between the two stories, there are also some notable differences that reflect the cultural and historical contexts in which they were produced.

One of the most obvious similarities between the two stories is the fact that they both feature a devastating flood that destroys everything in its path. In both tales, the flood is seen as a punishment from the gods for humanity's sins and wickedness. This shared cultural belief in divine punishment underscores the deep spiritual and religious values of the time. Moreover, the idea of a catastrophic flood as a form of divine punishment was not unique to the ancient Near Eastern peoples. This concept also appears in several other cultures around the world, including the Greek myth of Deucalion and Pyrrha and the Hindu myth of Manu.

In terms of the similarities between the three Near Eastern flood stories and the story of Noah's Ark from the Bible, one of the most striking commonalities is the central role that the flood plays in all of the narratives. In each tale, the flood is a devastating event that wipes out most of humanity and nearly all living creatures on earth. This shared element suggests that the idea of an all-encompassing flood may have had a significant cultural resonance among ancient peoples.

Another shared element is the fact that each protagonist is instructed by a divine being to build a large boat in order to survive the coming flood. Ziusudra and Utnapishtim receive instructions from the god Ea, while Atrahasis is warned by the god Enki. Noah, on the other hand, is instructedby God. Both Ziusudra/Utnapishtim/Atrahasis and Noah are tasked with building a large boat to save themselves, their families, and the animals. In both stories, the flood lasts for a significant amount of time (seven days in the Bible, and six days and seven nights in the other tales), and the boats come to rest on mountains or highlands once the waters recede. 

Despite these similarities, there are also several differences in the way these stories are told. For example, in the Mesopotamian tales, the gods are often portrayed as capricious and unpredictable, while in the Bible, God is portrayed as just and merciful. Additionally, the Mesopotamian stories often emphasize the idea of human mortality and the limitations of human life, while the Biblical story focuses more on the idea of faith and obedience to God.

The differences in these stories point to the unique cultural and historical contexts in which they were produced. The Mesopotamian region, where these tales emerged, was prone to seasonal floods that could cause extensive damage to crops and infrastructure. As such, it is likely that these stories were created as a way of making sense of the unpredictable and destructive force of nature. Moreover, given the importance of agriculture to the people of ancient Mesopotamia, it is possible that the fear of a flood-wrought devastation was deeply ingrained in their cultural psyche. 

The stories of Ziusudra, Utnapishtim, and Atrahasis all feature characters who are chosen by the gods to survive the flood. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, Ziusudra is chosen by the god Enki, who instructs him to build a boat large enough to house his family and all living creatures. Likewise, in the Epic of Atrahasis, the god Ea chooses the titular character to build a massive vessel and thereby save humanity from destruction. In the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Old Testament Book of Genesis, these tales are told from differing cultural perspectives, but they share surprising parallels.

Firstly, both stories feature a devastating flood that causes widespread destruction. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, the gods decide to destroy humankind with a flood because they become too numerous and noisy. Similarly, in the Book of Genesis, God decides to send a flood to wipe out all people because they have become wicked and corrupt. These are both acts of divine justice, meant to cleanse the earth of impurity and ensure the survival of only the righteous.

Secondly, in both stories, the protagonist is instructed to build a large boat to survive the disaster. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, Ziusudra is told by the god Enki to build a boat that is 120 cubits in length, width, and height. Similarly, in the Book of Genesis, God instructs Noah to build an ark that is 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high to survive the great flood. Similarly, in the Epic of Gilgamesh, the god Ea instructs Utnapishtim to build a large boat to escape the coming flood. In both stories, the instructions for the construction of the boats are given in detail, and the heroes follow them closely to survive the disaster. Similarly, in the Atrahasis myth, the god Enki helps Atrahasis build a boat to survive the impending flood.

Furthermore, in all three stories, the flooding is seen as a punishment for the sins of humankind. In the Bible, the flood is sent by God to destroy a wicked and corrupt humanity, while in the other two stories the gods decide to flood the earth to reduce the human population which had grown too numerous, noisy, and disrespectful to the gods.

Despite these similarities, there are also notable differences between the stories. In the Biblical narrative, Noah is portrayed as a righteous man who was chosen by God to survive the flood along with his family and animals. Similarly, in the story of Ziusudra/Utnapishtim/Atrahasis, the protagonists were also deemed worthy by the gods and instructed to build a boat to survive the impending deluge. This similarity in the decision of the divine beings to save these individuals highlights the idea of a higher power choosing who should be saved in times of crisis.

I SOLD MY CAR AND TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

I SOLD MY CAR AND TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.

In many developed countries today, the idea of using public transportation instead of cars is gaining momentum. People are realizing that owning a car is not necessarily a sign of wealth or success, but can actually be a burden that contributes to traffic and environmental problems. In fact, Gustavo Petro, former Mayor of Bogota and now President of Colombia famously said: "A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It's where the rich use public transportation." This statement highlights the importance of prioritizing sustainable transportation as a key aspect of development.

One of the main advantages of public transportation is that it provides an affordable and accessible means of transportation for all members of society. In developed countries, public transportation networks are usually well-established, with numerous routes and modes of transportation including buses, metros, trams, and trains. By using public transportation, individuals can save money on car maintenance, fuel, insurance, and parking costs.The statement ‘A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It's where the rich use public transportation’ by Pres.Gustavo Petro is significant and has implications for not only the citizens of a country but also for policymakers. It highlights the need for a societal shift towards sustainable living and a more equitable distribution of resources. Public transportation is a critical part of this shift.

In many developing countries, owning a car is often considered a status symbol. However, the statement by President Gustavo Petro challenges this notion and suggests that true development is not in the accumulation of material possessions but the adoption of sustainable practices. Public transportation is an essential component of a sustainable lifestyle. It reduces the carbon footprint of individuals and collectively, reduces the impact of climate change. Furthermore, by encouraging public transportation, policymakers can promote local economies and reduce dependence on foreign imports of fuel, which can be a significant burden on a nation's economy.

FORGIVE ALL, FORGIVE EVERYONE, FORGIVE OURSELVES

FORGIVE ALL, FORGIVE EVERYONE, FORGIVE OURSELVES 

Forgiveness is one of the most powerful and healing acts one can perform. In order to achieve true happiness and live a fulfilling life, it is essential to learn how to forgive others, ourselves, and let go of the past. Forgiveness doesn't mean we forget or condone the actions of others or ourselves; it means we stop holding onto the anger, hurt, and pain that is holding us back from moving forward.

The first step towards forgiveness is to let go of any grudges or negative feelings we hold towards others. It is essential to empathize with others and try to understand where they are coming from. No one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. Sometimes people act out of fear, anger or impulse, and they end up hurting those around them. However, it is important to remember that holding onto anger and resentment towards them will only hurt us in the long run. By forgiving and letting go, we are freeing ourselves from the emotional burden that may be holding us back.

Forgiveness is a powerful tool that can have a profound impact on our lives. It can bring peace and healing to ourselves, and it can also help us to move forward and grow. Forgiving all, forgiving everyone, and forgiving ourselves is essential to allow ourselves to not be influenced by the past and live in the present as our new selves. 

Forgiving all is a radical act of love and compassion that requires us to let go of grudges, resentments, and anger towards others. Forgiveness is about acknowledging that everyone makes mistakes, and it's vital to have the humility and grace to forgive them. Forgiving everyone also means that we release ourselves from the negative emotions that may be holding us back from our goals and aspirations.

Forgiving ourselves is equally critical because we often hold ourselves to unrealistic expectations, and when we fail to meet them, we may harbor resentment and anger towards ourselves and others. However, forgiveness is a powerful tool that we can use to free ourselves from these negative emotions and move forward towards a better future.

Forgiving all and everyone requires a level of humility and empathy that may be difficult to achieve. But when we can forgive those who may have wronged us, we release ourselves from the burden of holding onto grudges and resentments. This allows us to move forward with a positive mindset and opens up new opportunities for growth and development.

Forgiving ourselves is just as important as forgiving others. We all make mistakes, and it's natural to feel guilty or ashamed when we fail to meet our own expectations or the expectations of others. However, by forgiving ourselves, we can learn from our mistakes and move forward towards a better future.

The past can be a powerful force in our lives, shaping our thoughts, beliefs, and actions. However, if we allow ourselves to be constantly influenced by the past, we limit our potentialto grow and achieve our goals. One of the biggest obstacles that prevent us from moving forward is holding onto grudges and resentment towards others. However, forgiving all and everyone, including ourselves, can be a powerful tool towards personal growth and creating a positive future. 

Forgiveness is not always easy, and sometimes it can feel impossible, but it is essential for our own well-being. Holding on to anger and resentment can lead to stress, anxiety, depression, and even physical health problems. Forgiving others is not about excusing their behavior or agreeing with their actions; it is about freeing ourselves from negative emotions and moving towards a more peaceful and fulfilling future.

Forgiveness also allows us to start fresh and rewrite our narrative. It is easy to get stuck in old patterns and beliefs that may no longer serve us. By forgiving ourselves and others, we can begin to let go of the negative influences of our past and begin to inform ourselves according to the future selves we wish to become.

WHY WE MISTOOK THE ELOHIM FOR GOD

WHY WE MISTOOK THE ELOHIM FOR GOD

I believe in God, but I also believe that we humans were created by extraterrestrials. This belief comes from my research of the Old Testament, as well as other ancient writings found in the Sumerian, Arcadian, Babylonian, Mesopotamian, and the Sanskrit books. According to those sources, it's the Elohim, a mysterious race of extraterrestrial beings, who created us.

The Elohim, meaning "those of royal blood," were described in Genesis as the "beings of extraordinary power coming from the fiery clouds." On the other hand, the Old Testament describes the Elohim as a race of Yahweh's helpers who are out of this world, so to speak. Furthermore, some prophetic books of the Bible, such as Ezekiel and Daniel, describe the Elohim as having "something like the appearance of a man." The Elohim are believed to have been very powerful, wiser than humans, and commanded advanced technology.

The above references to the Elohim are further reinforced by the ancient writings found in the Sumerian, Arcadian, Babylonian, Mesopotamian, and Sanskrit books. In one example, the Sumerians describe what they call the Anunnaki, who they believe to be the divine rulers of Earth. The Anunnaki is believed to be the same as the Elohim, and is translated as “from the heavens to Earth.” They are described as humanoid, ruled by the god Enlil, and lived in the city of Eridu.

In addition, all four civilizations clearly state the Elohim from heaven created the Adam and the Eve, and the original purpose of mankind was to work for them. This is significant because it coincides with the Old Testament’s version of mankind’s origins. This is why different religions even if they all teach peace, mankind still couldn't achieve peace. We have a wrong concept of who and what God is.

I AM NOW A SPIRITUAL ET (SPIRITUALITY) TEACHER. I TEACH SPIRITUAL LESSONS FROM HIGHLY EVOLVED BEINGS CALLED THE GALACTIC TESTAMENT.

From someone who grew up in the traditional Catholic religion and eventually evolved to becoming born again and later a New Thought Christian, I felt there was something amiss. Around twenty years ago, while deeply involved in reading the bible, I encountered a lot of conflicting and confusing passages about God. When I realized that the God and Elohim were extraterrestrials, everything started to make sense. I kept quiet about my new learnings because my friends thought that I was becoming crazy. Now, after twenty years, I want to teach a new kind of spirituality I learned from extraterrestrials which I call Spiritual ET. Why?

After seeing on television the massacre of 19 children in the United States and the ongoing war in Ukraine where innocent civilians are killed, I would conclude that our world, in its current state, is hell. What happened to Jesus' statement that the "Kingdom of God is here?" Twenty years ago I had this same realization and asked myself this same question. I couldn't find a place or a group of people living happily and loving unconditionally until I encountered some extraterrestrials who are highly evolved beings, not physically but through telepathy. They explained that they are watching us and giving us the guidance we need to evolve and  transform into highly evolved beings like them. That started my journey on learning how to become a highly evolved being like them - from Spirituality to Spiritual ET. And these are the things I learned from them especially from the book "Conversations With God" by Neale Donald Walsch, Dolores Cannon, Bashar, and other ET friends who had been giving me new spiritual insights never taught by religion. Here below are things they believe in that is why they are living in a heavenly world, literally.

BASHAR'S BASIC PRINCIPLES 
(SPIRITUAL LESSONS FROM EXTRATERRESTRIALS.)

1.   You are a non-physical consciousness that is experiencing physical reality.

3.   THEY DEEPLY RESPECT THEIR OWN BODY.
They will never harm or pollute their body by taking and consuming alcohol, drugs and smoking.

They acknowledge the fact that they have the power to create and choose whatever they want because of the gift of free will given to everyone.

16.  THEY BELIEVE THEY ARE WHO THEY ARE FOR A REASON.
They are Self Aware which means they know everything about themselves and what they can be. They know what they like and what they don't like. In other words, they know what will make them happy.

I EXPERIENCE HEAVEN ON EARTH BY LEARNING & LIVING THE NOW TESTAMENT AND THE GALACTIC TESTAMENT. STRUGGLE, HARD WORK, SUFFERING AND SACRIFICE BECAME OBSOLETE IN MY LIFE.

I EXPERIENCE HEAVEN ON EARTH BY LEARNING & LIVING THE NOW TESTAMENT AND THE GALACTIC TESTAMENT. STRUGGLE, HARD WORK, SUFFERING AND SACRIFICE BECAME OBSOLETE IN MY LIFE.

There was a phase in my life where I spent most of my time making money by taking whatever job just to pay my bills. I  was passionate about travelling but my financial status then was not that encouraging to even think of a vacation trip to Puerto Galera. Following my bliss, I was rewarded with a spiritual galactic information that gave me personal fulfillment and travel vacations that also payed my bills. Galactic because the 5 forms of abundance I learned came from extraterrestrials. According to them, money was just one of them. The 4 other forms of abundance included trade, gift giving, synchronicity, and imagination. I concentrated on the others since I couldn't raise the kind of money I needed to travel. Immediately, I received phone calls from friends who invited me to travel with them for free to other countries and some just gave me plane tickets.

My disappointment in not finding relevant courses and subjects in school that would have helped me succeed through the impending onslaught of tremendous changes especially in technology made me seek knowledge outside the academe. Even my religiosity became obsolete when I discovered numerous available spiritual books not only in bookstores but most especially in the internet. Having experienced first hand the evolution of analog to digital I inadvertently promote my newfound spiritual advocacy through the social media like Facebook, You Tube, TikTok, and Twitter. I have also written two eBooks where direct quotes are Instagrammable as well. Indeed, the Kamalayan way is the 21st Century approach to spirituality.

A NEW BIBLE FOR THE 21st CENTURY CALLED THE NOW TESTAMENT 

Someone asked me as to what I teach in my KLLASS or Kamalayan Lifelong Learning Alternative Success System  and I said that all I teach is the sum total of the spiritual teachings and lessons I learned from "A Course in Miracles", "Science of Mind", "Conversations with God" books and many more like "Homo Deus", "Homo Sapiens", "Lessons for the 21st Century" by Yuval Noah Harari which I consider is the new bible for the 21st Century - THE NOW TESTAMENT.

PART OF THE NOW TESTAMENT CALLED THE GALACTIC TEACHINGS.
My spiritual growth accelerated fast because of  ET or Extraterrestials. Many questions I asked when I was still a child about heaven and hell were answered and I also believed in Jesus' teaching of heaven on earth. When I got to read "Conversations with God" Book 3 by Neale Donald Walsch on Highly Evolved Beings or HEBs, I started researching about ETs and even joined a local group who also believed in aliens who met regularly every Saturday afternoon. I kept quiet about it for almost 20 years because my friends found me weird. I studied books and videos of Dolores Cannon, Erich von Däniken, Seth, Abraham, Bashar, Kryon, Alcazar. Bracha Goldsmith and many more. l learned that these extraterrestial or multidimensional beings believed in the same God that we do since God created the entire universe. I learned many spiritual lessons from them and how they used Universal Laws and Principles to become Highly Evolved Beings. 

We should start becoming awakened species like them as written in Book 4 of Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch.

1. An awakened species sees the Unity of All Life and lives into it. Humans in an unawakened state often deny it or ignore it. 

2.  An awakened species tells the truth, always. Humans in an unawakened state too often lie, to themselves as well as others. 

3.  An awakened species says one thing and will do what they say. Humans in an unawakened state often say one thing and do another. 

4. An awakened species, having seen and acknowledged what is so, will always do what works. Humans in an unawakened state often do the opposite. 

5. An awakened species does not embrace a principle in its civilization that correlates with the concepts that humans refer to as “justice” and “punishment.” 

6. An awakened species does not embrace a principle in its civilization that correlates with the concept that humans refer to as “insufficiency.” 

7. An awakened species does not embrace a principle in its civilization that correlates with the concept that humans refer to as “ownership.” 

8. An awakened species shares everything with everyone all the time. Humans in an unawakened state often do not, only sharing with others in limited circumstances. 

9. An awakened species creates a balance between technology and cosmology; between machines and nature. Humans in an unawakened state often do not. 

10. An awakened species would never under any circumstances terminate the current physical expression of another sentient being unless asked directly by that other being to do so. Humans in an unawakened state often kill other humans without that other human requesting them to. 

11. An awakened species would never do anything that could potentially damage or harm the physical environment that supports the members of the species when they are physicalized. Humans in an unawakened state often do so.  

12. An awakened species never poisons itself. Humans in an unawakened state often do so. 

13. An awakened species never competes. Humans in an unawakened state are often in competition with each other. 

14. An awakened species is clear that it needs nothing. Humans in an unawakened state often create a need-based experience. 

15. An awakened species experiences and expresses unconditional love for everyone. Humans in an unawakened state often cannot imagine even a Deity who does this, much less do they do it themselves. 

16. An awakened species has harnessed the power of metaphysics. Humans in an unawakened state often largely ignore it.

What I also teach in my KLLASS, Kamalayan seminars and talks is the /sum total of the spiritual teachings and lessons I learned from spirit guides and extraterrestrials who gave their wisdom through what is called as channeling. 

My first exposure to that kind of process called channeling was from the books of Jane Roberts who was channeled by a spirit called Seth in the early 80s. Later I came across a book called "A Course in Miracles" by Dr Helen Schucman who allegedly was channeled by Jesus. A series of modern books called "Conversations with God" by Neale Donald Walsch also became  my textbooks. I seriously studied the books and videos of Abraham Hicks, and lately,  I discovered Bashar who is being channeled by Darryl Anka. 
I find all of their teachings more relevant and practical like Sacred Geometry unlike some teachings I learned from religions.I, myself, had been channeled by some spirit guides and ETs of which some lessons they gave me have been included in my book "Lessons I Never Learned In School."

IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. IT IS ALREADY PANDEMIC.

IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. IT IS ALREADY PANDEMIC.

SEX IS NOT BAD BUT VIOLENCE IS. (From 100 Lessons I Never Learned in School)
 If there is something I want banned or removed from media, it is violence.  Violence in TV news programs and in children cartoons should be eliminated altogether. It does not do any good to anyone when we see people killing or hurting other people. What about sex? Media should present it in such a way that people get to accept it as a normal part in the process of daily life. Not in a vulgar or obscene way but in a beautiful, artistic, and responsible manner where it is presented with an open mind and without malice. It’s about time we educate everyone on sex openly but properly.

This is why I don't watch the boxing matches of Manny Pacquiao, TV news, action movies, etc. We complain about the crime, violence, and lawlessness happening in our country  but we are the ones creating them in our world through our consciousness or kamalayan.  

REASON WHY WE ATTRACT VIOLENCE INTO OUR LIFE.
What I teach in Kamalayan is the fact that it is our consciousness or kamalayan that creates our reality. One time I was having dinner in a restaurant Timog QC with a friend who is a singer-composer at the same time a martial arts instructor. In the middle of our dinner a guy from another table approached us and shouted and provoked my friend to a fist fight. I asked my friend if he knew the guy and he said no. Good thing the security guard was able to pacify him. I told my friend that he attracted that situation because of what is inside his consciousness. I asked him to not think about his being a karate expert when he is with me. That is also why I don't watch boxing matches of Pacquiao because I don't want to attract violent situations into my life.

I DESIRE PEACE, LOVE, HARMONY,  AND JOY IN MY LIFE.

Here is an excerpt from the Conversations with God, Book 4,  by Neale Donald Walsch:

"The most striking and significant difference is that Highly Evolved Beings are utterly and completely, absolutely and entirely without violence of any kind. 
They do not engage in physical violence, they do not project verbal violence, they do not even momentarily entertain violence in their thoughts. 
They do not call violence “self-defense,” they do not call it “entertainment,” and they certainly do not call it “sport.” They simply cannot justify or support the inflicting of physical or emotional pain—not even the slightest discomfort—on any other entity."

THE KAMALAYAN SOLUTION : TRANSFORMATION

I strongly believe that there is a lot we should change about our educational system. But more than our education problem or political problem our country is having, it is more of a cultural problem I think we have to address. To be more specific, we have a spiritual problem which even the church has failed to solve. 

We create man-made disasters through our spiritual beliefs which are worse than natural calamities.

There are many ways to solve it and many solutions have failed in the past. What I am doing and will be doing through the I AM Kamalayan Movement is something our country hasn't tried yet-  CHANGING OUR CULTURE BY CHANGING OUR BELIEFS ON SPIRITUALITY 

10 FALLACIES ABOUT LIFE AND GOD THAT CREATE CRISIS, VIOLENCE, KILLING, AND WAR THAT RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS SHOULD READ BY NEALE DONALD WALSCH.

FIVE FALLACIES ABOUT LIFE that create crisis, violence, killing, and war.  

1.  The idea that human beings are separate from each other.  
2.  The idea that there is not enough of what human beings need to be happy. 
3.  The idea that in order to get the stuff of which there is not enough, human beings must compete with each other.
4.  The idea that some human beings are better than other human beings. 
5.  The idea that it is appropriate for human beings to resolve severe differences created by all the other fallacies by killing each other.  
 

FIVE FALLACIES ABOUT  GOD that create crisis, violence, killing, and war.

1.  The idea that God needs something.
2.  The idea that God can fail to get what He needs.
3.  The idea that God separated you from Him because you have not given Him what He needs.
4.  The idea that God still needs what He needs so badly that God now requires you, from your separated position, to give it to Him. 
5.  The idea that God will destroy you if you do not meet His requirements. 

FIVE STEPS TO PEACE

1. Permit yourself to acknowledge that some of your old beliefs about God and about Life are no longer working.
2. Explore the possibility that there is something you do not fully understand about God and about Life, the understanding of which would change everything.
3. Announce that you are willing for new understandings of God and Life to now be brought forth, understandings that can produce a new way of life on this planet.
4. Courageously examine these new understandings and, if they align with your personal inner truth and knowing, enlarge your belief system to include them.
5. Express your life as a demonstration of your higher beliefs, rather than as a denial of them.

WHAT TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN TO PREVENT BULLYING AND FURTHER VIOLENCE.

In Neal Donald Walsch’ book Communion with God and in his latest book What God Said, here is what God said: 

Teach your children that they need nothing exterior to themselves to be happy-neither person, place, nor thing-and that true happiness is found within. Teach them that they are sufficient unto themselves. 

Teach them this, and you will have taught them grandly.
 
Teach your children that failure is a fiction, that every trying is a success, and that every effort is what achieves the victory, with the first no less honorable than the last.

Teach them this, and you will have taught them grandly.

Teach your children that they are deeply connected to all of life, that they are one with all people, and that they are never separate from God.

Teach them this, and you will have taught them grandly.
 
Teach your children that they live in a world of magnificent abundance, that there is enough for everyone, and that it is in sharing the most, not in gathering the most, that the most is received.   

Teach them this, and you will have taught them grandly.
 
Teach your children that there is nothing that they are required to be or to do to be eligible for a life of dignity and fulfillment, that they need not compete with anyone for anything, and that God’s blessings are meant for everyone.

Teach them this, and you will have taught them grandly.

Teach your children that they will never be judged, that they need not worry about always getting it right, and that they do not have to change anything, or “get better,” to be seen as Perfect and Beautiful in the eyes of God.

Teach them this, and you will have taught them grandly.

Teach your children that consequences and punishment are not the same thing, that death does not exist, and that God would never condemn anyone. 

Teach them this, and you will have taught them grandly.

Teach your children that there are no conditions to love, that they need not worry about ever losing your love, or God’s, and that their own love, unconditionally shared, is the greatest gift they can give to the world.

Teach them this, and you will have taught them grandly.

Teach your children that being special does not mean being better, that claiming superiority over someone is not seeing them for who they really are, and that there is great healing in acknowledging, “Mine is not a better way, mine is merely another way.” 

Teach them this, and you will have taught them grandly.

Teach your children that there is nothing that they cannot do, that the illusion of ignorance can be eradicated from the Earth, and that all anyone really needs is to be given back to themselves by being reminded of Who They Really Are.

Teach them this, and you will have taught them grandly.

Teach these things not with your words, but with your actions; not with discussion, but with demonstration. For it is what you do that your children will emulate, and how you are that they will become. 

Go now and teach these things not only to your children, but to all people and all nations. For all people are your children, and all nations are your home, when you set out on the Journey to Mastery.

It's about time that my subject Tatosophy,  the art and science of knowing that we are spiritual beings having a human experience should be taught in schools.
