Ang Buta nga Naggiya sa Buta

Hunahunaa ang usa ka kalibotan diin ang mga tawo walay kahibalo sa espirituhanong mga tubag sa ilang kaugalingong kinabuhi, maong matag semana moadto sila sa usa ka tigulang nga lalaki sulod sa usa ka bilding, ug siya ang magdikta kanila kon unsay angay nilang hunahunaon. Dili niya sila pangutan-on kon unsay nakita nila sa ilang kaugalingon. Ang iyang giwali mao ra gihapon ang giwali sa laing tigulang nga nag-una kaniya. Magbunyag siyag mga bata, morag kahibalo siya kon unsay pagbaton og anak. Magkasal siyag mga magtiayon, morag kahibalo siya kon unsay pagkaminyo.

Dili na nimo kinahanglang hunahunaon pa kanang kalibotana. Nagpuyo na man ka niini.

Sa panahon ni Jesus, ang orihinal nga kahulogan sa kahibalo mao ang pagkahibalo gikan sa kaugalingong kasinatian. Wala kini magpasabot nga ibase lang ang imong gituohan sa imong nadunggan gikan sa uban. Ang tinuod nga kahibalo mao kadtong imong napamatud-an sa imong kaugalingong kasingkasing ug kinabuhi, ug ang tanang lain, dinungog-dungog ra.

Sa karaang mga templo, sa wala pa kining mga panahon sa kalibog ug dogma, ang pari dili mag-inusara sa altar. Ang iyang pari nga babaye nag-alagad sa iyang tapad. Karon, giabog na ang babaye palayo sa altar, ug gitagad na siya nga morag duol na sa sala.

Ug ania ang tinago nga pagkatalawan sa daghang pari karon: ang kahadlok sa s*x, nga gitabonan sa usa ka immature ug pakaaron-ingnon nga pagkamatarong nga moingon, "sala ang s*x." Sayop kaayo kana ug delikado nga panglantaw sa s*x, kay kon imong kondenahon ang mismong butang nga naghimo kanimo, dili nimo kini malimpyohan, imo ra hinuon kining gipugngan. Ug unsa may mahitabo kon pugngan ang usa ka butang? Dili kini mawala. Manago kini sa ilalom, ug mogawas ra gihapon sa hiwi nga paagi, diha sa kangitngit. Ug mao kana nga nahimo na kitang usa ka nasod sa mga bakakon.

Mao kini ang hinungdan nganong sige na lang ta og mata sa mga balita bahin sa mga pari nga nasakpan sa mga s*x scandal, sa kahakog sa kwarta ug titulo, ug sa pinakangil-ad sa tanan, sa pag-abuso sa mga bata. Siguradong mahitabo kana kon ang tawo magwali sa butang nga wala niya masabti. Mao kini ang buta nga naggiya sa buta.

Gikuha nila ang ilang awtoridad gikan sa Bibliya, usa ka libro nga sa sinugdan wala gisulat sa English. Apan tungod sa mabaw nga pagsabot sa English nga hubad, ilang gituohan ang tanan sa literal ug wala gyud mangutana. Tan-awa ang pinakaunang bersikulo sa Bibliya. Sa orihinal nga Hebreo, ang Dios gitawag og "ELOHIM", usa ka pulong nga plural, nagpasabot nga dili lang usa, ug anaa niini ang lalaki ug ang babaye. Sa kaugalingon niining pinulongan, ang sinugdanan sa Bibliya nag-ingon nga ang mga Dios ug mga Diosa maoy nagbuhat sa langit ug sa yuta. Amahan ug Inahan, nga nagkahiusa sa pagbuhat sa kalibotan.

Dili ba klaro na kana? Kon gusto nimong susihon, tan-awa lang ang imong palibot. Aron ka maanhi sa kalibotan, naghiusa sa sekso ang imong mama ug papa. Dili kana sala. Sagrado kana. Kana mismo ang paglalang. Ug mao ra usab kana sa tanang bahin sa kinaiyahan: aron makabuhat, kinahanglan ang babaye ug ang lalaki.

Nasayod niini si Jesus ug ang iyang mga tinun-an. Sa iyang kaugalingong pinulongan, ang Aramaiko, ang pulong alang sa "Espiritu" mao ang "Ruḥa", ug kini usa ka babaye nga pulong; sa Hebreo, "Ruach", nga babaye usab. Sa Ebanghelyo sa mga Hebreo, klaro nga miingon si Jesus, "Ang akong Inahan, ang Espiritu Santo." Ug ang iyang mga tinun-an dili mga lalaki nga nahadlok sa babaye. Si Pablo mismo misulat nga ang mga apostoles kauban ang ilang mga asawa nga magtutuo sa ilang paglakaw (1 Corinto 9:5). Ang pinakadakong sala sa mga simbahang Katoliko ug Kristiyano karon mao nga ilang gitangtang ang balaang prinsipyo sa pagkababaye: ang Inahan, ang laing katunga sa Dios.

Ang ilang kaugalingong kasulatan mismo maoy mosaksi batok kanila:

Genesis 2:18 — "Dili maayo nga mag-inusara ang lalaki."

1 Timoteo 3:2 — "Ang obispo kinahanglan nga bana sa usa lang ka asawa, mabinantayon, makapugong sa kaugalingon, maayo og pamatasan, ug kahibalong motudlo."

Genesis 2:24 — "Ang lalaki makighiusa sa iyang asawa, ug silang duha mahimong usa ka unod."

Panultihon 18:22 — "Ang makakita og asawa nakakita og maayong butang, ug nakadawat og pabor gikan sa Ginoo."

Hebreohanon 13:4 — "Ang kaminyoon kinahanglan tahoron sa tanan."

Ug tan-awa kon unsa nay nahitabo sa kaminyoon. Magpakasal ang mga magtiayon karon kay giingnan man sila sa mga buta nga tita ug lola nga nagpuyo kuno sila sa sala. Magminyo sila tungod sa kahadlok ug kaulaw, dili tungod kay ang ilang gugma mihinog na ngadto sa tinuod nga gugma ug sagradong panaghiusa. Ang kaminyoon nga gitahod nagpasabot og kaminyoon nga natawo gikan sa gugma, dili kaminyoon nga gihimo lang aron makaikyas sa husga sa ubang tawo.

Pangutan-a ang imong kaugalingon og usa ka matinud-anong pangutana. Nganong ang usa ka yanong mananambal sa bukid, nga walay titulo ug walay katedral, makaayo man sa masakiton ug makapapahawa sa mga nagsamok sa kalag, samtang ang pari, bisan pa sa tanan niyang bisti, dili makahimo? Tungod kay ang usa nagdala og buhi nga kahibalo, ug ang usa nagdala og hinulaman nga mga pulong.

Kining tanan dili pag-atake sa Kristiyanismo o sa Katolisismo. Usa kini ka pahinumdom nga mohunong na kita sa pagsunod nga buta sa awtoridad, ug magmapaubsanon kon unsa gyud ang atong tinuod nga nahibaloan ug unsa ra ang atong nadunggan. Ang tinuod nga pari dili maghimo kanimo nga buta, masinugtanon, ug dili mangutana nga karnero, ug dili siya magdikta o magwali og pakaaron-ingnon nga kamatuoran ibabaw sa imong kinabuhi. Itudlo ka niya balik ngadto sa imong kaugalingong pagbati sa kamatuoran sulod sa imong kasingkasing, aron moabot ang adlaw nga dili na nimo siya kinahanglanon.

Ang matag relihiyon gihimo unta aron mahimong relihiyon sa gugma. Dili sa kontrol, kahadlok, kalibog, o pagpugong.

Hinaot nga maangkon nato ang pagpaubos sa pag-angkon sa wala pa nato mahibaloi, ug ang kaisog sa pag-adto ug pagtan-aw gamit ang atong kaugalingong mga mata.

"Ang Gingharian sa Dios anaa sa sulod ninyo."
— Jesus, Lucas 17:21

The Blind Leading the Blind

Imagine a world where people do not know the spiritual answers to their own lives, and so every week they visit an old man in a building who dictates to them what they should think. He does not ask them what they have seen for themselves. He only preaches what another old man preached before him. He baptizes babies as if he knows what it means to have a baby. He marries couples as if he knows what it means to be married.

You do not have to imagine this world. You are living in it.

In the days of Jesus, the original meaning of knowledge was to know from direct experience. It did not mean to base your beliefs on something you heard from others. Real knowledge was something you verified in your own heart and your own life, and everything else was only hearsay.

Now, in the ancient temples, before these more confusing and dogmatic times, the priest did not stand at the altar alone. His priestess officiated beside him. Today, woman has been pushed so far from the altar that she is treated as something close to a sin.

And here is the hidden cowardice of many priests today: the fear of s*x, covered up by an immature and self-righteous attitude that says "s*x is sin." That is a very wrong and dangerous way of seeing s*x, because if you condemn the very thing that created you, you do not purify it, you suppress it. And what happens when something is suppressed? It does not disappear. It goes underground, and it comes out sideways, in the dark. And so we gain a nation of liars.

This is why the Philippines keeps waking up to news of priests caught in s*x scandals, in greed for money and titles, and at worst, in the abuse of children. That is bound to happen when men preach what they do not understand. It is the blind leading the blind.

They take their authority from the Bible, a book that was not originally written in English. Yet with a shallow understanding of English translations, they take everything literally and never question. Look at the very first verse. In the original Hebrew, God is called ELOHIM, a plural word that carries both the masculine and the feminine within it. In its own language, the opening of the Bible says that the Gods and Goddesses created the heavens and the earth. Father and Mother, creating the world together.

Isn't it obvious? If you want to check, just look around. For you to exist, your mother and your father had to unite s*xually. That is not a sin. That is sacred. That is creation. And it is the same in every other part of nature: in order to create, one needs both the feminine and the masculine.

Jesus and his disciples knew this. In his own language, Aramaic, the word for Spirit, Ruḥa, is feminine, just as it is in Hebrew: Ruach. In the Gospel of the Hebrews, Jesus says plainly, "My Mother, the Holy Spirit." And his disciples were not men who feared women. Paul himself writes that the apostles traveled with their believing wives (1 Corinthians 9:5). The greatest sin of the Catholic and Christian churches today is that they removed the divine feminine principle, the Mother, the other half of God.

You see, their own scriptures testify against them:

Genesis 2:18 — "It is not good that the man should be alone."

1 Timothy 3:2 — "A bishop should be the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, and apt to teach."

Genesis 2:24 — "A man shall hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh."

Proverbs 18:22 — "He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord."

Hebrews 13:4 — "Let marriage be held in honor among all."

And look at what marriage has become. Couples today get married because blind titas and lolas tell them they are living in sin. They marry out of fear and shame, not because their love has ripened into union. But marriage held in honor means marriage born of love, not marriage as an escape from other people's judgment.

So ask yourself one honest question. How is it that a humble mananambal in the mountains, with no title and no cathedral, can heal the sick and drive out what torments the soul, while the priest with all his robes cannot? Because one carries living knowledge, and the other carries borrowed words.

None of this is an attack on Christianity or Catholicism. It is a reminder to stop following blind authority, and to be more humble about what we really know and what we have only heard. A true priest does not turn you into a blind, obeying, unquestioning sheep, and he does not dictate or preach a pretended truth over your life. He points you back to your own sense of truth in your own heart, so that one day you no longer need him.

Every religion was meant to be a religion of love. Not of control, fear, confusion, or suppression.

May we have the humility to admit what we do not truly know, and the courage to go and see for ourselves.

There is a kind of seeking that never ends.

We read more. We listen to more. We collect ideas about awakening, about consciousness, about the soul. And for a while, this feels like progress.

But at some point, something uncomfortable becomes clear:

The ideas are increasing. The inner state is not.

We know more than we did a year ago — and yet the same reactions move through us. The same fears. The same patterns. The same person looking out of the same eyes.

This is not a failure of intelligence. It is a misunderstanding of what the work actually is.

Awakening is not the accumulation of spiritual knowledge. It is the slow, steady learning of how to see — directly, in oneself, without the filter of thought.

To watch a reaction as it rises.
To notice the voice that calls itself "me."
To recognize, in real time, what is mechanical and what is alive.

This kind of seeing cannot be downloaded. It has to be practiced. It has to be lived.

That is what this course is for.

Awakening the Inner Light is a live online course beginning May 3. Eight classes over two months. Meditation, self-observation, and the practical inner work that turns spiritual ideas into actual change.

It is not for everyone. It is for those who already feel that something more is being asked of them.

If that is you, the door is open.

We will be hosting a new live online course titled "Awakening the Inner Light," beginning on May 3rd.

This is not simply a course of ideas or teachings. It is a space for transmission and real inner work — for those who feel the need to observe themselves and begin a genuine transformation in daily life through meditation, self-observation, inner stillness, and practical wisdom.

Many people seek, read, and accumulate knowledge, striving toward ideas, yet something essential remains unchanged. The difficulty is not a lack of ideas, but not knowing how to move beyond the mind and begin to perceive directly.

When the hunger for truth becomes stronger than the need to collect concepts, something different can begin — something immediate, living, and verifiable within one’s own consciousness.

This course does not revolve around theories, spiritual identity, or fascination with ancient frameworks. Instead, it returns to what is simple, essential, and often overlooked: attention, inner illumination, and the way we live and respond from moment to moment.

Often, those who follow spiritual systems become fascinated with grand ideas that the subconscious easily projects into fantasy, without truly understanding the teachings directly. This is one of the great obstacles where truth fails to shine through tradition. This course was born to gently bring us back to something direct, grounded, and real — to lead us out of conceptual reality and into living realization.

We return to the foundations of the path not because they are basic, but because they are rarely lived. The deeper the roots, the more light the branches can bear. The deeper the foundation, the higher the structure can stand. What many call “basic” is often what has never truly been lived.

This is for those who sincerely want to awaken consciousness and undergo real inner change. No prior experience is required — only sincerity and a willingness to work on oneself.

Across eight live classes over two months, you will receive guidance through teaching, group meditation, reflection, and practical application in daily life — not to accumulate more knowledge, but to become more conscious, more inwardly honest, and more capable of real inner freedom.

Hello dear friends,

We wanted to share a glimpse of something that is quietly taking form here in Cebu.

What is being built is not simply a physical space, but the foundation of a sanctuary dedicated to something much deeper—the remembrance of one’s own Being, and the direct experience of what is real within.

Over time, something has become very clear to us:
True spirituality must return to simplicity. It must be free from unnecessary complexity, from rigid structures, from imitation, and from dependence on external forms and beliefs.

Authentic awakening is found in the direct experience of one’s own Being. It is intimate, immediate, and profoundly direct.

This place is being built to support that—
a sanctuary where simplicity restores clarity, where the mind grows quiet, and where what is true reveals itself.

A place where the unnecessary falls away,
where the mind grows quiet,
and where what is true can be experienced directly.

Even now, people are already being called—from the Philippines and around the world—seeking healing, understanding, and something real. We are also preparing to begin welcoming international visitors soon.

There is still much to complete, and we are currently in the process of expanding the land to properly support what is coming.

If you feel a connection to this Work, read the full update and learn more about the vision, the project, and how you can support:

👉 https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-build-a-gnostic-center-of-healing-awakening-in-cebu?modal=updates

In a few days, we’ll also be sharing our first video of the land and construction.

For now, this is just a small window into what is being born.

What is real will find those who are ready for it...

Because where nothing is added,
a spark begins to ignite.

Where the mind grows silent,
a fire awakens in the heart.

You search for what is real,
yet what is real waits for you to become it.

The path is not given—
it is lived,
it is forged,
it is loved into existence.

What is false must be understood,
until it has no ground to remain.

And in that understanding,
something luminous is revealed—
not as thought,
but as a living presence.

It moves you.
It breathes you.
It knows before you know.

Do not mistake stillness for sleep—
true stillness is alive,
awake,
overflowing with radiance.

It is a joy that asks for nothing,
yet gives everything.

A purpose that is not chosen,
but remembered.

When you no longer seek comfort,
but Truth—
even at the cost of yourself—

then the heart becomes a sun,
and the path becomes a celebration of seeing.

And in that rapture of ecstasy,
without doubt, without division—

you do not find what you are.

You become it.
