PREFACE

 

 

When I look back at my life it was a series of financial battles which I barely overcame. When my relatively new printing business was booming, it was razed to the ground. With determination I set it up again.

 

Sensing that my past experiences were part of karmic debts incurred in previous lives which I had to pay, I endeavored to provide a solution. By chance, I asked an astrologer friend, Mar Santos, to help me find a way of overcoming the difficulties. He gave me a heart-shaped jade which he said had been consecrated for business purposes. He gave me the name of the spirit of the stone and instructions on how to energize him.

 

I learned that a stone or crystal could be used for requesting assistance from particular spirits. Several days passed and I asked my friend to consult my spirit assistant through spirit communication channels what business was most suitable for me. When he returned he told me that the spirit assigned to the jade I kept wanted to "confer" with me personally. That started my introduction to the fascinating world of the spirits.

 

It was in San Pablo City, Laguna (about 80 kilometers south of Manila) where I was presented before a large fish bowl with a luminous image of Christ the King standing on a marble glued to the bottom of the bowl.  The bowl was filled with water almost to the brim. The man who owned the bowl, whom I will refer to as the mystic, handed me the image and asked to me to inspect it. It was an ordinary luminous plastic statue that felt solid throughout.

 

When the image was put back into the bowl atop the glued marble, my friend called out for "San Miguel.”  After a few seconds the image rotated clockwise without falling.  I was a bit shocked.  Nobody was near the bowl.  I was to learn later that San Miguel entered the image at the precise moment that it made a turn. It was a Sunday and I was born on a Sunday.

 

"San Miguel po?" my friend asked.  The image moved one full turn clockwise. Then, he asked for my exact birthday.  After giving it, I inquired from San Miguel about my exact birth time, which according to my mother was early morning.  By running through the series of numbers and the image making a full clockwise turn when the right number was mentioned, he was able to convey my birth time to be 4:34 and 20 seconds early in the morning.  This was confirmed through a series of interchanges with the image, with a "Yes" signified by one complete clockwise turn, and a "No" by about 1/8 counterclockwise turn.  We offered San Miguel a book.  The image made several turns, and the mystic explained that the spirit is absorbing the contents of the book.

Then, he called on the spirit assigned to my jade stone by name. The spirit entered  the image on the bowl and I communicated with him by asking questions answerable by yes or no.  I learned that the prayers I offered him every morning at sunrise and at night before I slept had benefited him.  I inquired about the right line of business for me.  The spirit told me that I should do well in publishing, in real estate, and in operating a mystical book store. He advised me to discontinue with my printing business and not to go into the equipment repair and iron fabrication business I was then planning to undertake.  I learned this information through a series of complicated movements, clockwise and counterclockwise, made by the image and which was interpreted to me by our mystic friend. He was trained by the spirits for almost six months before he was able to efficiently understand the movements made by the image on the bowl.

 

During several more visits, I had opportunities to inquire of a lot of things about my business, my family, and my friends. At one time I asked about the fall of Adam and Eve.  Since childhood, I had been puzzled about the biblical account of the fall and could not appreciate the gravity of their sin, which simply was the act of eating a fruit.  I received no answer. We tried to inquire from other spirits but all declined to give an answer. San Gabriel, one of the Archangels and God’s special messenger replied that he would give the answer "later on, it’s long..."

 

Then, while in the bus on the way home, the answer came to me. A thought simply crossed my mind. Aphrodisiac.  It must have been something that looked like an apple which when eaten led Adam and Eve to have sex. When I told my friend about the thought, he said it was most probably an inspiration. He urged me to put it down in writing.  This became the first chapter of this volume entitled “The Garden of Eden.”

 

The next time we went to the "landing site of the spirits,” the bowl was occupied by an inspector spirit. An inspector, I was told, was an alien spirit preventing other spirits from coming into the bowl except when the planets are in "good aspects" or in certain benefic angular relationships with one another according to astrological principles

 

The inspector spirit apparently had fallen asleep, so that we could not use the bowl. Our mystic friend asked us to turn on an FM radio.  He breathed some words onto it and asked us to turn the tuner along the higher frequencies.  This we did until the radio made a high-pitched beep.  I called on San Gabriel and in a little while, the radio beeped. One beep, I was told, meant a ‘Yes.’  If it was a long single beep, ‘Strong yes.’  Two short beeps was a ‘No,’ and three short ones meant a ‘Maybe.’

 

Other combinations of beeps were Morse-code type messages and had to be interpreted by our mystic friend.

 

"San Gabriel po?" One beep -- a ‘Yes.’  I presented the first pages of my writing.  “Is this correct?"  Prolonged beep -- meaning ‘Strong Yes.’

 

"Were you the one who inspired me?" One long beep ---‘Yes.’

 

"Will you inspire me again?" One long beep – ‘Yes.’  "Even rewrite the Bible?" One long beep – ‘Yes.’  "When can I start?"  Series of beeps... The mystic interpreted it and told me it was on the coming new moon.

 

This was how these pieces were written. According to San Gabriel, he was also the one who inspired the writers of the Bible like Sts. John, Luke. Mark, Matthew, the authors of the Book of Mormons, the author of the Aquarian Gospel, and others.  Many of these writers expressed the messages in stories or parables.

 

The essays here are direct and to the point, considering the scientific, philosophical, and cultural outlook of our modern times.  Thus, the approach differs from the ones in the Bible. No attempt was made to delete any passage that to us appeared controversial or even scandalous.  The major substance of the materials presented here are essentially correct at the level of our development at the time it was given, as verified through our two-way channel of communication with the spirit world.  Whatever errors or omissions then existed (there were only a couple of them) were duly corrected

 

This book started from intellectual curiosity.  It is hereby published to make the readers become aware of their mission in life, to give them a sense of direction.  It is for the purpose of urging you, dear reader, to embark on a conscious personal quest for material mastery and, more importantly, spiritual perfection.  When you attain a certain desired level, do not forget your neighbor.  Jesus the Christ showed us the way.  Let us follow Him. Let us love one another and, with this Love, unite with God.
