Cory’s spirit



First published in Daily Tribune under Anthony Vivero's Vibes and Vision dated August 10, 2009.


Many call it the "Spirit of Ninoy," some the "Spirit of Edsa." Still others call it the "Magic of Cory." But there are those who would say it is the "Spirit of the Divine."


Former President Corazon Aquino’s passing led to many emotional outbursts, and last Wednesday proved just how much was felt by Filipinos for the late icon of democracy. The outpouring of support, compassion and true grief was also called by many names, but I am certain many still do not understand the real meaning of the event.

Allow me to share a a different point of view — neither political nor personal, but mainly universal truth and the existence of what we call "Spirit."

People are still fervently talking about the Cory Phenomenon, the Cory Spirit or Cory Magic. Some of those who used to work with the late President spoke of her disciplined work ethic, sharing stories of their personal relationship with her during those times. Cory’s friends spoke lovingly of her as their friend, classmate and kumare. Cory was consistent in her humility, down-to-earth character and attitude. Her family tearfully narrated how loving Cory was as a mother, sister, grandmother, aunt and many more.

Those who don’t know her personally believe that we owe her the democracy and freedom we now enjoy because media and the older generation said so. All fall short of the truth. So, next acceptable word, if you don’t agree with the first, is "Magic." Unfortunately, I don’t believe in magic and other things that cannot be explained. Somehow, I am sure we can arrive at a more acceptable explanation.

My experience

I actively participated in the first Edsa revolution, not because I was a member of any militant group or any other association. I went there on my own volition simply because I wanted change. I also went to the wake of Ninoy, which left an impact on me.

My consciousness changed when I saw the lifeless body of Ninoy at the Sto. Domingo Church. Questions surged in my head, and they seemed unanswerable at that moment. I wasn’t even sure of the questions flowing through my mind. All I knew was that I felt something was wrong and, sooner than later, all would be better. A feeling of calmness enveloped me after that agitated sensation. They somehow soothed my inner feelings. We know now what happened next, and the rest is history as we know it now.

After everything that transpired, from Ninoy’s death, to the snap elections, the rallies and the revolutions, most of us went back to our daily routines and left everything to our leaders. In the process, we blamed them for their faults and shortcomings and praised them if we happened to personally gain from their acts. Most of us did, whether you honestly accept this truth or not. But this is a national fact.

When Cory died, I really cried. I tried to control my feelings, but I was unable to. I could not understand why. People cried because of a sense of sympathy for the family, or perhaps they were carried away by the atmosphere of grief and loss. Mine was different.

Friends invited me to go with them to the funeral, and asked me to use special connections so we could have VIP passes. I was tempted to do it, but eventually opted to just watch the funeral on television. I even made myself busy by working on my tasks with our Homeowners Association, just to avoid going to the memorial. Our subdivision was going to be affected by the traffic created by the funeral procession for President Cory, our area being around Sucat, ParaƱaque. Working with the security and with some homeowners, kept me occupied for a long while.

My family and friends decided to go to Manila Memorial to watch the procession and pay their last respects to our late President. I drove them myself to the memorial and went back home, only to find myself back on the streets when the funeral convoy was about to reach the Sucat exit. There I decided that I would just wave the "Laban" sign and chant "Cory" for the last time. I preferred to be alone, but I was surrounded by several younger people whom I didn’t know personally. These young ones were not even born when Edsa I was happening. They went for the experience, without understanding what we all went through in the past with Cory.

As the truck bearing her coffin neared our area, the chanting grew louder and everyone started to get into a festive mood — noisy and loud. When the hearse passed by in front of us, everyone fells silence, cameras stopped clicking and flashing, and everyone stood still. I was frozen myself. Not until Cory’s cortege completely disappeared from our view were we able to regain our consciousness.

I went home and watched the rest of the funeral proceedings on television, but the experience needed an answer and I decided to seek it via the spiritual realm. I did meditation.

The true spirit

What the Aquino family, friends and associates feel is understandable. We can also comprehend the way opportunists are using Cory’s death as mileage for their personal ambitions. Even the emotions of the so-called ordinary Edsa veterans can be explained: The central figure of that era is dead.

But how can you explain the fervor of the young generation? They were mesmerized, many of them shedding tears. It was not because of the emotional speeches, the songs, or the end of ideals. The reason seems unexplainable.

Like all famous men and women who walked on earth, Cory’s greatness rubs on all of us because within our spirit there is a good side and a bad side. We are capable of being good and being bad anytime we desire to be either. Some of these great men and women of our past history became prominent either from unavoidable circumstances or were chosen to lead, but all were moved to action by the good spirit within.

Great men and women are those who choose to lead a collective consciousness of goodness within. It is a choice that leaders of generations make after experiencing the bad. It is a cycle of good and bad times. And it is the good spirit within us that moves us all and not just one person. In the case of the Philippines, it was not Cory alone, but the spirit of goodness within us. We forget that we are connected spiritually and Cory is an icon to look up to — the symbol of that kindness within.

What is the good spirit within? It is unselfishness, it is thinking of others before oneself, sacrificing even one’s own happiness so others may live with dignity. It is love for others even if they will never acknowledge what you have done.

The Bible tells us so, and the teachings of other religious denominations, gurus and masters remind us of it all the time, but very few heed these reminders or live by it. Cory was different, and we are grateful that we experienced one in our lifetime. Experiencing and knowing is different from knowing and living by it. Many will talk, write and express the same ideals as Cory, but never live and die the same way.

If you are afraid to be kind, then the bad spirit rules your being. If you choose to be greedy and selfish, then you have chosen to live a life that will never bring contentment. For Cory we mourned and grieved because the symbol of kindness, love and sincerity had died. And while there will be many who will choose to bury the good spirit within us all with Cory and live in fear, uncertainty, greed and selfishness, many others will carry the spirit of goodness within themselves and spread it in their communities.

What we should do

Politicians in Congress and local government are all making a move to make Cory a hero, and religious people are thinking of making her a saint. All these are not bad, but that is not the spirit of Cory, the spirit of good within us.

Politicians, instead of filing a bill to make Cory a hero, change a street name, or build a monument and a park named after her, should look and find that kindness within their hearts. It is about time they acted truly as servants of the people — service first before self. Beautiful parks and lofty titles for Cory will not make our lives better.

Religious people, instead of declaring another saint to be prayed to, should look for the spirit within and the divinity that comes with it. They should make the supreme sacrifice of feeling the true feelings of the people. Christ, as well as Cory, was never selective in his choice of people, issues, places and scenarios. Live with the people, be with the people, feel what they feel and soon, schools and hospitals run by the religious will be more compassionate, the same compassion showed by Cory — the spirit of Cory. For instance, lowering their fees and dues would be more beneficial to all than making Cory a saint. Hospitals have charity wards but do they get the same treatments as in the pay wards? With lesser hospital bills, there will be less charity ward patients. That is the Cory spirit that we are trying to tell the compassionate hearts, the loving spirits.

For the common Filipinos, be honest; make a daily act of kindness to other people that you see on the streets, and in your neighborhood. You don’t need to be a president, a politician, a leader, or a member of a group. Cory was never any of these when she started, but was simply a citizen who found it in her heart to do small acts of kindness and sacrifices for others. You don’t need to be rich, famous and powerful to love — just be kind and honest and tap the good spirit within.

Indeed, it was the spirit within us that was the magic we all felt and saw. The spirit of goodness will always be alive, but then so will the bad. We must choose wisely.

Let us not bury the spirit of goodness with Cory. Let’s live our daily lives doing acts of random kindness and the Philippines will be great again. Filipinos will be proud citizens of the world again.

The spirit never dies, it is immortal. It is a choice. Though it is relative indeed, but as a general rule, if it is for the true betterment of others, then it is good. If you act with the intention to gain something for self, then it is the spirit of greed, the spirit of bad.

Cory never died, because Cory is not just a name, she is an icon of the good spirit within us that brings forth the goodness within all of us.

The good news


First published in Daily Tribune under Anthony Vivero's Vibes and Vision dated March 23, 2009.

All sources of information — radio, television, newspaper and now the Internet — often give us more problems than solutions, anxiety rather than peace. It seems good news is nowhere to be found these days. Very rarely do we get news that brings even a glimpse of hope. But wait! There is still good news! All we have to do is read and understand it.

TRUST

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding: In all your ways, acknowledge Him and He will make paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:5

We cannot trust our political leaders to lead us the right way for they themselves don’t know what they are doing; we cannot trust our neighbors with our small problems because most of the time they are our problem; we cannot trust religious leaders for they themselves are the wolves in sheep’s clothing, feeding on their own flocks; we cannot trust people in uniform who are suppose to look after our welfare, but end up abusing our given rights.

We can only trust the Lord God. And we must do it in mind, body, and spirit with all our hearts and believe that whatever is happening now, we are still safe in the hands of the Lord. Our situation today is not that good but still not hopeless. When everything had been tried and failed, trust in the Lord and He will never let us fail.

My school days

It was my grandmother who taught me to place my full trust in the Lord. My entire life as a student, I would always get a reminder from the school administration to get clearance for the exams. No tuition fee payment, no test for me — that was the rule. I would always cry and feel discouraged to prepare for the exams. I felt it was useless to review, certain I would not be able to take the tests.

But my Lola, who took care of me as a child, would always tell me, “Pray and sleep early, tomorrow you will get that money for your tuition fee, for the Lord will provide us what we need.” She would constantly remind me to keep that trust in God during those early years.

And never did I miss any exam in my life as a student. She always managed to wake me up early in the morning and give me the money for my tuition fee. I was really amazed, and because of those experiences, I believed and kept that trust in God. He will never forsake me, though His help always come in the nick of time. Why? Maybe because God wants us to feel that He is the one providing us with the things we need, as long as we keep that trust in Him.

FAITH

“With men it is impossible; but to God nothing is impossible.” — Mathew 19:26

Story of two brothers

They got orphaned early in life and because of this, they depended on each other for survival. The elder brother had to take care of the younger one at all costs. The younger brother had to follow every word and advice of his elder brother.

Life was not easy, as other people, especially relatives, gave them a hard time. Yet they stood firm and remained faithful to each other and their dreams. Without each other’s knowledge, they kept praying to the Lord for success in life, not just for themselves but for their parents who had passed away too soon. The older brother prayed that he would be able to support and finance the schooling of his brother, who took up Law. The younger one, without telling his older brother, believed that God would provide him knowledge and patience in the long years of studying.

The elder brother would even skip meals and take all kinds of jobs to finance his brother’s college expenses. The younger one, for his part, tried as hard to make both ends meet by being frugal and studying really well just so he could finish his schooling with flying colors. Faith was the only thing they had in their lives and in their hearts. They were trying to accomplish the impossible, as others would say.

Finally, the younger brother got his Law degree. The only stumbling block was the Bar examinations to finally seal the dream of being a full-fledged lawyer. While it seemed that they were on the road to success, the younger brother failed the exam.

His older bother never questioned the Lord, but thanked Him for the opportunity He had given to them instead. He did not even cry. He knew that God was still there for them. The younger brother was devastated with his failure, but not for long. He was again on his feet to take another chance at passing the Bar.

All they had now was faith in the highest level. They had nothing to lose because they had failed once and they had nobody to depend on but the Lord. During the entire period of waiting for the Bar exam results, they intensified their faith in the Lord — that He would be the one to deliver it to them. According to the younger brother, the second Bar examination was much harder compared with the first. It was now all in the hands of the Lord.

Younger brother passed the bar. Tears flowed uncontrollably, especially from his older brother. They knew that the sacrifice was over. Though the sacrifice weighed heavily on them, that faith in the Lord held them together. They had nothing more in their pockets, nothing much in life. When the results came out, they had nothing but faith that He would never forsake them — and the Lord never did.

To be successful in life, it has been proven that men are better having nothing than having no faith at all.

The gift of healing

Ailment and cure, tears and joy, pain and wellness, fear and courage, anxiety and hope — it all boils down to whatever you want to believe and entertain what you get out of it.



First published in Daily Tribune under Anthony Vivero's Vibes and Vision dated June 15, 2009.


Today is one of those rare times I can express my innermost feelings. It is my birthday today, June 15, and I am more than happy to share a healing miracle story with you. This is the best time to share a fulfillment of my gift as a human being who has discovered the reason for my existence.

There will be no story about myself, instead you will read a testimony — a healing miracle story from a believer with deep faith in the miracles continuously extended to us by our Divine Creators. The testimony was originally written in Tagalog mixed with some English words. We have translated the text to full English with the author’s permission.

I believe there is Someone somewhere in the universe who holds the answers and solutions to all our problems. It is just a matter of seeking and finding the answers.

My personal quest starts with anyone who needs that miraculous healing from the Divine One. Every healing session is an opportunity for me to meet my God and those who truly seek God. It is the reason of my existence, which I am happy to fulfill. The gift to heal, the gift to give hope, the gift to put a smile on a dying man, and most importantly, the gift of making all of us believe that God exists even when one has almost lost faith — that is truly beautiful.

Rose Danghel’s testimony

I am Rose Danghel, wife of Arnold Danghel. My husband, who was naturally fit and strong, suddenly fell ill. We knew that he was very sick based on what we observed as the days went by.

We got very worried when he slowly started shaking all over whenever he tried to walk. He had no strength to even get up from a seat or bed. He would need someone to help him up and lead him. His hands had no power to grip and seemed to have sort of shrunk. We also noted that the veins running though his hands had disappeared.

He became incapable of feeding himself, unable to lift his hands and swallow. There was a growth on his neck that bothered him a lot because of the pain it caused. He could not write because of the numbness in his fingers — his hands had been rendered useless. His bowel movements became abnormal. He also had constant fever and coughed a lot. He felt numbness in his stomach as well, with a cramping sensation. We were really alarmed.

We decided to have him checked by a doctor in Iligan City where we reside last Jan. 13, 2009. He was examined and was suspected of having a tumor in the spinal cord. We were advised to undergo an MRI scan (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). We immediately left for Manila to have the MRI scan done.

At PGH, the MRI scanning was performed. The results were positive in the “right paravertebral mass with spinal cord extension, C3-C5.” The primary consideration was Pott’s disease (bone tuberculosis) and metastasis (spread of disease from one organ or part to another). We were advised to let him have an operation or undergo cobalt treatment.

These surely require lots of money and yet the doctors themselves told us that the treatments do not guarantee a 100 percent recovery.

We opted to try other methods, approaching herbalists for appropriate herbal medications fit for the illness of Arnold. Additionally, we approached gifted individuals who can extend the healing miracles of our Lord Jesus Christ to my husband.

One day, a relative of ours, Felix Vergara, invited us to seek the help of a psychic healer, Anthony Vivero. Felix picked us up the very next day as it was Mr. Vivero’s healing day, May 13, 2009.

After the healing session, my husband went up to the altar where the statue of the Our Lady of Manaoag was enshrined. I saw my husband cry while touching the Lady’s statue. He fervently asked and prayed to be healed.

At that very moment, my husband noticed and felt that his fingers suddenly straightened out and his body slowly but certainly eased up.

The very next day, my husband said that the swelling or tumor in his neck had disappeared and that he felt no more pain in that area. He can now also swallow with ease. The difficulties in moving he used to have, along with the shaking and numbness of his body, started to ease and eventually disappeared!

It was a miracle! We were so overwhelmed and could not contain the happiness we felt, realizing he had been healed!

Today, my husband eats and walks on his own and can move his bowels without assistance. We also noticed that the veins that seemed to have disappeared from his hands are now slowly coming back. The best part is he can now carry his own chair around the house.

We followed all the advice given to us by Sir Anthony to the letter, like placing a towel dipped in lukewarm water over the swelling or tumor on his neck, and applying healing oil with rose petals to all inflicted areas of his body. With the prayers and treatment, surely they worked wonders! He is now back to his normal self.

I, and my husband, with our parents and relatives, deeply thank Our Lord Jesus Christ and Our Lady of Manaoag for using Sir Anthony Vivero in healing my husband, Arnold Danghel.

The gift of healing is for everyone. I have chosen to be one of the instruments and not just a recipient of healing. In the process, I met God so many times in the past 11 years of my mission. The gift of healing was handed down to me a day after my birthday 11 years ago, and I have been able to help so many sick people. I could not ask for more for I often receive the gift whenever an ailing individual comes for healing and his tears start to flow because he feels the presence of God in the healing session with me. That is the greatest gift I receive as a healer.

Let us rejoice for God is continuously blessing us.

Effective daily rituals



First published in Daily Tribune under Anthony Vivero's Vibes and Vision dated June 10, 2009.

Believe in rituals. Our daily habits, done like rituals, become more effective, turn positive and the effects last longer. Rituals and ceremonies are parts of our human nature. Why not do it for prosperity? —AVV409

Successful people and most organizations, and yes, religious groups, perform the most rituals, and all I can say is that they are effective in many ways. Here are some personal rituals for your use that are effective in bringing luck, prosperity, good health and harmony into your life.

For luck and prosperity

1. The moment you open your eyes in the morning, think of yourself holding money — not just one note, but bundles of crispy bills. Do it as a daily routine and it will come true. The percentage of success is high at around 70 percent of you realizing this dream, illusion or in-depth visualization — however you wish to name it. Keep in mind that 70 percent and is better than zero. You can pray simultaneously (any prayer will do), but visualize holding money as vividly and clearly as possible.

2. Think of scenarios that can lead you to obtaining big amounts of money, like incidents or events that could possibly arise to get to that dream wealth. Go to that place where that scenario can be materialized or fulfilled. Pass by or stay for a while at the site where dreams can be fulfilled. It may take awhile. But it will come true. Be patient.

3. Never wear a black dress on Monday. What happens on a Monday dictates the mood of the week, they say. So wear vibrant colors! A week less of positive events would render your rituals chanceless and your days miserable, which could hamper the total outcome of your desires.

4. Be with someone that brings a smile to start the day. Surround yourself with positive-thinking people. Negative individuals create negative vibrations and you unknowingly become negative, too. His or her misfortunes may become yours as well. Their not-so-positive thoughts and thinking will definitely affect how you think and will drastically change your happy disposition and perspective in life.

5. Don’t watch movies and television programs that have negative plots. The story plot of every movie creates in the viewer a feeling or sense that it is their story and that the role presented is tailor-made for them. So watch storylines that would uplift you instead.

6. Discard all items, materials, clothing, accessories and other paraphernalia that have negative events attached to them because they hold the negative emotions of the past. Take this as a very good example: We discard the coffin that was used in cremation. We either leave it behind or donate it, however expensive it was when we bought it, thinking and believing that death is a negative event. Think of this example as your reference point. Don’t let any negative item stay with you or remain in your possession.

7. Having debts or loans is a normal situation. If you have a big one, don’t be affected or be overwhelmed by the huge amount. Create that intense thought and thinking that you can repay all these debts, no matter what. Successful people and businessmen/businesses are all in debt with varied individuals and corporations, a normal course in our interaction and co-existence with one another, a norm in our current lifestyle. Whether you are a regular income-earner or a huge corporation, this is an acceptable situation sometimes necessary to meaningfully survive and be productive and participative members of our society. Always remember that being in debt is not a problem; it is the over-thinking and fear of not being able to pay that is the problem. Always keep in mind, “Yes, I can!

For health

1. Drink one glass of water after waking up in the morning. Reason: Water cleanses all negative thoughts and energy in us, both in the physical and esoteric levels.

2. Take time to bathe yourself under the morning sun for at least 10 minutes. Reason: It harnesses the full potential of the most powerful source of energy in our universal system, the sun. It fully restores one’s energy for the day’s work.

3. After doing these two rituals, take a bath first before doing anything else. Reason: This is the opposite of the fire ritual, which is the sun bathing. Water will balance the yin and yang of our energy field. Too much yin or too much yang creates imbalances in body, which leads to sickness.

4. Take a power nap or close your eyes for five minutes every six hours or anytime you feel tired. This exercise adds life and energy to your body. Reason: Like a computer, we reset, or even log out so we can get a refreshed, faster and efficient working electronic device. We, humans, must also “reset” and rest at least every six hours. Even a five-minute break can do magic to those who are healthy and mighty. Note that too much rest would do the opposite — it stores negative energy tantamount to laziness and stagnant future.

5. Never wear clothes that were already worn for two consecutive days. Reason: Whatever we wear creates impact and impression. But what you wore last, the impact and impression of it won’t last long. Always wear new lines of clothing. As you must have noticed, showbiz celebrities and popular personalities do not wear the same clothes twice in any major event. The reason is wearing them more than once can create a certain amount of negative impact in their careers. Look at Mike Velarde, even though he wears clothes with vibrant colors, making some observers grin, his clothes still emit a positive impact in favor of him, and that makes him more popular. In the same vein, the negative energy brought about by certain clothing will be magnified in days to come while the positive energy that a clothing brings will reside only for a few days, so in both cases it is not beneficial to the wearer.

6. Change socks, undershirt and underwear at least twice in a day. Reason: This is the most important habit that we often forget to address. We must let ourselves feel comfortable deep within. The most important person that must feel the good feeling is ourselves. To feel really good from within, we must frequently change our inner clothing or whenever you feel uneasy or uncomfortable. Refreshing your body will refresh your mind and eventually your life.

These are simple rituals to create a better life and bigger fortune. Try it; there is nothing to lose as these are just daily habits — a change for the better and with a purpose! It is as easy as counting 1-2-3, but the effect can make you possibly prosperous — three times, and your life span — doubled, if not longer as destined.

MID-YEAR FORECAST 2009



First published in Daily Tribune under Anthony Vivero's Vibes and Vision dated June 29, 2009.


The mid-year forecast is read to check if there have been changes and/or adjustments done by the people on the annual or year-end forecast. Some people make decisions that result in the visions becoming more favorable to them, while others just wait for the events to come. As a result, visionaries are either known for their high accuracy rating or for falling short of expected results. It all really depends on how the readings are taken or interpreted by the individual — some degree of self-denial is even considered in the success or failure of any forecast.

In my experience, many end up in a “not-so-good” scenario for not heeding valuable advice. Let’s see what may happen in the next six remaining months of the year:

POLITICS

1. “Power-for-Life,” “Cha-cha,” “con-ass” — whatever you call them, it is all for one purpose: For incumbent government officials to remain in power. “Failure of Election” is another one. These will be beneficial to those who had orchestrated the proceedings.

A military movement that may lead to a takeover of the government is in the planning stage; unfortunately, few will believe or join the uprising. Many will consider this as another “show” or shallow rebellion. The results will be devastating for us because our political immaturity will be greatly manifested. The greed for power and money will remain as the top priority of majority of these politicians. The intention and desire are permanently cemented in the minds of all those who want to stay in power. The military movement may happen before the year ends or early next year.

2. If the elections were held this year, the candidates to beat are Mar Roxas, Chiz Escudero and another one from MalacaƱang.

3. The President will remain in control of all political issues; she will remain very influential over all branches of government. So forget the rallies and legal approaches, for any misdeed this administration has done (and some more will be uncovered later) will be overcome with the help of their paid-off cohorts. As prepared as they have been all these years, they are able to undertake their political maneuverings anytime they are needed. Only Divine intervention will make the difference for all of us.

4. The Senate and Congress will remain at war over several issues especially the one that will keep the President stay in power. Congress will bend all rules to give way to the “Power-for-Life” scheme, while Senate will be bent on playing the hero for the President or for the people, depending on who among the groups remain strong toward the end.



SHOWBIZ

1. The scandal of Hayden-Halili-Belo will just become another blockbuster series of showbiz scandals. People forget that showbiz personalities want to be in the news, good or bad, to make names for themselves. As long as they are in the news, their stars continue to glitter in the sky, remaining there for as long as the majority continues to lap them up. No one will get prosecuted in this scandal — maybe next time, when another scandal similar to this happens again, but not this one. This will join our roster of puns and jokes for a long time.

2. A big movie before the year ends, both produced by the two of the biggest movie companies of the country, will push through. These will be recognized by international filmmakers.

3. Death will continue to hover over the showbiz world. One prominent senior male star and one young female star will leave us either by accident and/or something that will cast doubt over the real cause of death.



DISASTERS

1. Water will continue to create havoc. It will submerge the metropolis around mid-August. The flood control project will work as planned, but the volume of water will be greater. The rainy season will have long rainy days.

2. There will be earthquakes around September and November. The big one for us — almost, but not yet — will be as destructive as it can be. Fatalities will be great if this happens in the early morning hours. Prayer will work, so please do pray instead of panicking.



DISEASE

1. The A(H1N1) virus will not reach the level where everyone will go into panic and paranoia. The medication will be available sooner than expected because it has actually been ready even before the virus spread. From the point of view of a psychic, this virus is man-made as the solution was at hand even before reaching global mass-hysteria. Remember that Aids/HIV didn’t create a lot of money for the giant pharmaceutical companies; the SARS also failed their expectations — A(H1N1) is making these companies smile a lot these days.

2. A new virus is a hand and ready for release. I believe this will start in Asia and among Middle Eastern countries. This could spread faster because it mutates in hot and humid weather compatible to countries in the equator. It is a biological attack covered up as a natural-borne virus and bacteria. The Philippines must be ready for this.



GOOD NEWS

Filipinos will continue to be resilient faced with any kind of problem, man-made or natural, political or economic. We will survive for the next year whatever happens over the next six months. For sure, the next six months will be dictated by man’s decisions based on his desires and intentions. Let’s hope and pray that this will be for the better.

Stories in Egyptian stones



First published in Daily Tribune under Anthony Vivero's Vibes and Vision dated July 13, 2009.

Today’s material things are tomorrow’s relics — pieces of the past that future generations may discover and use. If they still possess the knowledge or have a better understanding of our inherent gift and mental ability as humans, then they will be able to vividly see our lives, emotions and issues from the inexhaustible material things we touched in our time.



The pyramids of Egypt

A good friend and kumpare, Rudy Yu, once took a trip to Egypt. Before he left, he asked what I wanted for pasalubong. As I have never enjoyed pasalubongs that are commercially hawked or sold in most tourist shops, preferring instead something unusual or unique in the land, I jokingly responded that I wanted a piece of the pyramid — specifically, a piece of the stone block that is a part of the pyramid. We had a good laugh because we knew it would be almost impossible to get it.

Knowing that one has to get to the topmost area of the pyramid to get a block, it was really a joke — one of those friendly tits for tats, knowing as I do that my friend is not the type to go to such lengths as get something that is either very hard to acquire or even dangerous.

How wrong could I be! Whatever it is that came to his mind, my friend, arriving at the pyramid, scaled the structure and went beyond the permitted area for tourists and guides. He stepped up on one of the blocks in the forbidden area of the pyramid. The guides and park attendants were motioning for him to come down fast, but he responded by explaining he just needed a few more minutes for good photos to be taken of him while there. He managed to get three small pieces off the block, chipping the big block to get smaller pieces, literally with his bare hands! I could not imagine how brave was at that moment. Needless to say, he succeeded in bringing home the precious pyramid chips. (I would not recommend it to anyone else though. He was lucky not to have been apprehended with the stones in his possession!)

Upon arriving, he got busy with his business, unmindfully keeping the stones where he thought they would be safe. When he was ready to meet with us, he could not find them, had forgotten where he had placed them and panicked! He called us to help locate the stones — psychically, of course. I gave him directions to where I saw the stones in my mind’s eye. He found them there.

Finally we met, along with one of our good psychic friends, Margareth D’Souza. He gave us the stones for reading and vibrational scrutiny. I did the analyzing and sensing the energies of the stones. I found that only one of the three was an original part of the pyramid, the two others were quite new to be a part of history. I did not let them see which stone was the original one and never spoke of my overall reading.

But since my friends possess abilities comparable with mine, they reached the same conclusion. One stone possessed a lot of history in it — stories of the past.



Psychometric reading

When I did my psychometric reading, blood filled my vision, and I felt the thud of a headache on one side of my head. This told me of a violent past or history in the stone. To my amazement, instead of seeing historic Egyptian people or the pharaoh, I saw Roman soldiers marching toward Egypt. Now I do not always go for the first vision I see. I usually stop and refrain from reading too soon. I then reset my reading for another three different occasions so I can get a better, clearer and truthful reading.

These are what I saw: Roman soldiers marching, a battle erupting, blood spilling in the area. The same stone I was holding was where a Roman soldier’s head rested. Blood spilled from the injury on the right side of his head and he eventually died. They were attacked by Egyptian soldiers opposing the Roman occupation of Egypt.

My second reading was to see who the Roman soldier who bathed the stone with his own blood was. As a response to my psychic query, I was given this scenario: The soldier was a family man, with two daughters. He was head or official of the army, or even a general of the military troop of the Roman army. He was in his forties and belonged to a military family. They were not patrolling the area the night when it happened. He was carrying a valuable amount of treasure ready to be shipped out from Egypt to Rome. They were suddenly attacked, he was killed, but his comrades won in the end.

My third reading: The stone originated from another area quite far from the site that it was found by my friend. It did come from the northern part of the region. It was a merchandise that was ordered, delivered and was paid for over a business deal, contrary to the usual story about the pyramids being built and labored through slavery. This vibrational reading coincided with the narration of the tour guide, according to my friend, Rudy.



Historical facts

Long before the Romans came, Egypt was the trading center of the East. Based on data available, Egypt was rich in agriculture and people converged from all over to conduct business transactions with other nations and surrounding principalities. Egypt was a strategic center for economy during that time.

Then the Romans came with brute force and occupied Egypt for 700 years before the Islamic Empire conquered it and became an influence until 1805.

The identity of the Roman soldier may never be verified factually. The information may not be available, especially if that soldier was not so prominent or well-known in his time. If I put enough effort and time to read and research his identity, then maybe I can get a possible identity, most especially if his name had been written in historical books. Then we can match the event and the personages who were there at that time. This can be done, if necessary.

Psychometry

All material things on earth carry an imprint of the past, with history and data available for vibrational or psychic reading. In science, details and data are read using scientific tools and machines, such as the carbon data method. Parapsychology also has its own special way of ‘reading’ stories of the past. There are documented and verified readings available in many source materials for these types of articles and most of them were done after exhaustive research. There are also some other readings that could possibly be part illusion and part historical knowledge. Whatever the case, as shown by those who practice parapsychology seriously, the vast potential of man’s inherent abilities is simply amazing.

Knowing your past to understand the present



First published in Daily Tribune under Anthony Vivero's Vibes and Vision dated May 18, 2009.


We seek professional help to look at how our past lives affect our current lives — if we believe in karma and reincarnation, that is. But whether one believes in the universal law of karma and the general rule of reincarnation, people somehow always question the differences of life status, based on wealth and physical, emotional and mental attributes. No one can help but ask why others are born more superior in some respects than others.

Regression is one way of seeing a past life or past lives, which may help one understand the reason of his current existence. An individual can go into a deep, trance-like state with the help of a hypno-therapist guiding one’s travel into his past, or go into self-regression if one has the ability and knowledge to do so.

The guided regression

Regression is done with the help of a professional hypno-therapist. In each session, the subject is put in a relaxed state of consciousness, commonly known among practitioners as the Alpha State, where one has time to simultaneously relax mind, body and soul. The benefit on going into the alpha state of mind is it integrates mind, body and soul. This is the only time one may experience total oneness of being. Even if you are not aware or don’t have experience in meditation or hypnosis, a professional hypno-therapist can positively guide you to travel to the innermost part of yourself and eventually your past lives if the session is successful.

Each session can last for several hours, and several sessions are required for a successful regression because the process is too tiring physically, mentally and emotionally. Always, the past lives’ success and failure stories somehow affect the emotional condition of the regressor. That emotion can hamper the clarity of regression so that one misses the signs that need to be seen for present adjustment of current life situations.

The benefit with this guided process is it is like having an experienced driver on a long drive to an unfamiliar place. So the chance of being misled and encountering problems in the journey is lessened with the professional help.

Self-regression

To go into self-regression, one must know how to meditate. This is the primary tool to have a successful regression. If you can’t meditate, then it will be hard for you to see your past lives, although in some cases spontaneous self-regression happens especially when the need for knowledge of the past is so high. Here is the step-by-step process to guide you if you wish to try self-regression.

1. Look for a quiet place and start to meditate.

It is very important that the meditation be done in a quiet place where nobody can disturb you. It will be disastrous if you are disturbed in the middle of self-regression. Not knowing all the things that can be learned from the past can have a negative setback and going back again to the same scene will not be easy; free flowing thoughts cannot be induced even if you try very hard.

2. Calmly regard every scene or symbol one may see.

One must not fear a vision of a horse, a lion or even a dragon. Knives, thunder, raging waters need not be feared for these are possible symbols and keys that will bring you to your past. Remember that our brain understands figures, symbols and colors more than scenarios of the past. Just let the images flow and the scenario and vision of the past will come into your mind and into your senses.

3. Try to hold on to your emotions.

Visions of the past are loaded with emotion, happy and sad depending on the success and failure of one’s life story. Try not to be affected by this emotion, whatever it is. Emotion will drag you down back to the present and away from the lesson that one had to learn from the past. Hold that emotion until you are finished with regression so you will be able to look back with the knowledge and lessons of your past and get the chance to correct the mistakes.

4. Try to hear sounds so you may get your name in your past.

The visions are not just visual. You may be able to hear sounds of all kinds if you try to listen. Taking more time, longer than the natural regression, is all you need to hear some sound. One may get their name in the past and determine who they are and the people around them. Try to listen to the conversations — one may even join these conversations and gain a deeper understanding of the past.

5. Remember that it can’t affect you physically, so reacting in a violent scenario is not required.

Sometimes a subject is carried by the visions that they cry, they shout and even act violently. Actually, all reactions are not necessary while in regression. It shortens the regression and leads to more questions than answers.

6. Try to practice on a not so distant past of your life.

Meditate and try to go back on your yesterday, week, or month that passed in your life. It is my practice to go back on the past whole day of my life to check my good deeds, my misdeeds and things that I did not do. It is my own way of rectifying my mistakes and create a better me the next day. This practice will train you to regress naturally. Try to recall your day everyday and you will see that regression will become a easy thing.

Our life today is based on our past. We must not live with our past, but learn the lesson of the past — not to be vengeful but to be more forgiving, not to take it negatively but positively, not to be destructive but to be more productive and most of all, not to feel lonely and sad but to be joyful and happy for you are alive today and have the chance one again to gain perfection.

2012 PROPHECY



First published in Daily Tribune under Anthony Vivero's Vibes and Vision dated July 27, 2009.

Is December 2012 the end of the world?

Many predictions from all over the world tend to agree on one thing: The world should change as soon as possible. This 2012 prophecy has become the talk of the world now that it is almost here, a mere three years away. Some call it "Doomsday," the "Apocalypse," while others prefer to believe in an era of change, of turning a new leaf.

The Mayan Calendar says the end of time will happen at exactly 11:11 GMT Dec. 21, 2012. That is the boldest interpretation so far in our times based on predictions of ancient men from an ancient civilization.

One cable channel has shown Nostradamus 2012, the prophet’s prediction about the end of our world and what could possibly happen when the time comes. Because of the show, many got frightened and panicky, asking questions of anyone who could respond with clarity and sensibility.

This topic is making a buzz on the Internet, too, and has generated articles, Web sites, television programs and even movies. They discuss all sources of information, from the ancients to current seers and prophets, ancient civilizations, the Bible, varied cultures, beliefs and religions, as well the scientific community.

Why is Dec. 21, 2012

an important date?

The Mayan prediction is the prime reference for the date. The Mayans are people that lived in Central America. Apart from Aztec, the Mayan civilization represents an important period in history. Mayans studied the cycles of the universe and believed that an accurate observation of the stars and planets would allow them to predict the future. The most prominent prediction made by them is what concerns us today. They believed that an important event would happen in 2012, exactly on Dec. 21st.
This prediction would have no importance if it wasn’t confirmed by science, that on Dec. 21, 2012, planet Earth and the Sun will be exactly aligned with the center of the galaxy, Milky Way. Although the scientists are not entirely sure, they think this could cause magnetic turbulences, like volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and such. From that point of view, a popular seer from the 16th century also predicted the same event. He was Nostradamus.

Who is Nostradamus?

Michel Nostradamus was a French physician and astrologer. His modern followers see him as a prophet and his prophecies are magical for most believers. Nostradamus wrote four-line verses, called quatrains, in groups of 100 centuries. There were originally written in French and have been translated into different languages. There are, of course, many skeptics about him being a prophet and a seer.



The official press release

regarding the 2012 event:

"In 2012, a rare and possibly Earth-shattering astrological alignment is due to occur that will precipitate a cataclysmic event. Whatever is in store — a massive cosmic collision, a global environmental disaster, an Armageddon-like religious showdown, or a more subtle transformation — there have been multiple predictions from different times and cultures that Dec. 21, 2012 will mark a major shift in the history of our planet."

Prophesied events are not always inevitable nor are they fixed, but most likely they come to reality; in other words, they are possibilities, although the time is not always exact. I believe the human free will can change any event, change the timing or events completely. Some would be harder to change because a "collective mind" is required. There are predictions in which time frames are indicated, though not in terms of exact dates. Some prophets do indicate actual timing though, but whatever the dates are, they become more plausible when signs are indicated for a particular event, manifested thereafter when the event is about to come.

Will a comet head toward the Earth, and will it trigger the so-called Apocalypse 2012 AD, the Mayan’s date for the end of the Earth?

Prophecies of Nostradamus

To summarize Nostradamus’ prophecies regarding the 2012 cataclysm (the "quatrains" are indicated for reference):

• "During the appearance of The Bearded Star, the three great princes will be made enemies. The shaky peace on earth will be struck by fire from the skies. Po, the winding — Tiber, a serpent placed on the shore." — C2 Q4

•"Mabus will soon die, then will come a horrible slaughter of people and animals
At once vengeance revealed coming from a hundred hands. Thirst and Famine when The Comet shall pass." — C2 Q72

•"After a great misery for mankind, an ever greater one approaches. The great cycle of the centuries renewed, it will rain blood, milk, famine, war, disease. In the sky will be seen a great fire dragging a trail of sparks." — C2 Q46

•"In the Year 1999 and seven months The Great, King of Terror shall come from the sky. He will bring to life the King of the Mongols. Before and after, Mars reigns happily." — C10 Q72.

•"He (Comet) shall bring to life the King of the Mongols." — Part 3 of Qc10Q72

•"There will appear toward the seven stars of Ursa Minor and Polaris not far from Cancer, the Bearded Star Susa, Siena, Boeoti. Great Rome will die, the night having vanished." — C6 Q6.

•"The Great Star will blaze for seven days. The Cloud will cause two Suns to appear. The Huge Dog will howl at night when the great pontiff will change lands." — C2 Q41

•"The great mountain, one mile in circumference, after peace, war, famine flooding... It will spread far, drowning antiquities and their mighty foundations."

— C1 Q69

•"At the place where Jason built his ships, there will be such a great sudden flood that no on the land will have a place to fall on. The waters mount the Olympus Festulan." — C8 Q16

•"Heat upon the water like that of the Sun, around Negrepont, the fish will become half cooked." — C2 Q3

•"Seven times it (tidal wave) approaches the sea shore of Monaco." — C3 Q10

•"Very near the Tiber hurries the Angel of Death. A short while before a great flood."

— C2 Q93

•"The sky will burn at 45 degrees latitude, fire approaches the new city. Suddenly a huge, scattered flame leaps up, when they want to have verification from the Normans (France)." — C6 Q97

The explanation

Scholars believed that the "Great, King of Terror from the sky" was the "Doomsday" comet also called the Nibiru Comet Planet. This is because Nostradamus had several predictions of a comet that would impact or near-pass Earth and trigger global destruction. Accordingly, it was cleared that Nostradamus never said the Comet would pass Earth in the year 1999 and seven months. He saw the comet near-passing earth after 1999. The great "cycle of the centuries renewed" was the year 2000 AD, the New Millennium, and said it would cause great destruction that would trigger World War III (WWIII).

In astronomy, the planet Mars is closer to Earth today than it has been in the last 60,000 years and in astrology, Mars is the ancient god and planet that influences war. Since July 1999, "Mars reigns happily" as stated because war has been exploding in many parts of the world.

It is predicted that the resulting destruction and famine that will be caused by the Comet Planet and will cause China (King of Mongols) to go to war once an asteroid crashes into the ocean. Nostradamus sees the comet coming toward Earth from Cancer, south, passing through the Big Dipper to the North Star, and would be visible to earth for seven days, bringing destruction to Britain (Great Dog), Rome and the Vatican (Pontiff).

In a disastrous scenario, the Earth will launch specially equipped, nuclear weapons that should shatter the comet or asteroid on its way to Earth. Unfortunately, it will spew burning fragments on Earth and one-third of our planet will be lit on fire.

One large fragment will then crash into the sea and it will be catastrophic to Earth. Olympus Festulan is said to be Mt. Olympus, and because of its height of 10,000 feet, the resulting scenario is a massive tidal wave.

Before hitting Mt. Olympus, asteroids will hit the Aegean Sea, the island of Negrepont now called Evvoia, and the impact would equal in megatons of nuclear missile. These disasters will trigger mass plague and famine leading to WWIII, China (Mongols) leading the war.

This burning star, Wormwood, hits the waters of America, the North East Coast. New York City sits at 45 degrees latitude. Normans represents France, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (Nato). The military would contact Nato for "verification" if this object is a nuclear missile or a comet. If Wormwood is a nuclear missile, the country would launch a nuclear response. There you go.

Nostradamus sets a time frame around 2012 AD. The Book of Revelations (Chapter 8) also speaks of a comet that would bring great destruction upon the world and trigger the third World War.

Comment and conclusion

I personally believe that the current modern civilization will reach its end just like the other great civilizations of the past. Proofs from artifacts, mementos and many creations depict the grandeur and magnificence of their time, and yet these great ancient civilizations reached that level of destruction and annihilation, to be replaced by new generations and new civilizations.

Our generation will not be any different from the past ones. Ours will reach its final frontier, too, our end, the stoppage of life forms on earth. Many would ask if 2012 is that end year, but like before, many men have come out with dates, but never the end did come.

My conclusion is this: The end will indeed come to many and those who will survive will have such a hard time they would prefer to be dead, a better option in a situation that is almost unbearable. Still, some will survive.

But the real question is this, "When will it happen?" If you are in your 40s, then for sure you will see and experience the destruction of earthly life. The year 2012 will give you a 75 percent chance of it happening in your lifetime and a 25 percent of prayer doing something, not only for yourself but for the others as well.
