Bureau of Traffic Management Office (Binan City) commissioned me to work for their office  Halloween presentation and the Theme is "Alice in Wonderland"...I'm on my third day now with a deadline to finish it this Friday, October 26...

   Hectic days ahead....

  Here are some photo, I've taken so far using only webcam so it's not that clear...with my daughter as my assistant:

 

  

Japanese Majority Denounces God!

One of the nicest foreign people that I know personally are Japanese...so when I've read that 65% of Japanese DO NOT believes in God or a god, I was deeply disturb. Where are the missionaries?

   There are also an alarming rate in countries like Vietnam with a whooping 81% of non-belief in God. Even in Israel had around 30% of Atheist. 

    When I think of Japan, it reminds me also of beautiful Pagodas and ancient religious site with well preserve temples...so what are those temples for? 

    The tsunami wake-up call should have at least decrease the number of non-believers...but the surveys shows that less than one percent believes in Jesus Christ. 

   Shintoism and Buddhism are the two leading religion in Japan but even those who consider themselves religious does not subscribe to a single belief but a catch-all faith attitude. Some even observe religion for social purposes only and not for the salvation of their life...

   Living conditions may have something to do with faith in God, according to Pitzer.edu poverty seems to draw people to call unto God while those who had  relatively secure living conditions had more tendency to stray. 

   What accounts for the staggering differences in rates of non-belief between nations? For instance, why do most nations in Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia contain almost no atheists, while many European nations contain an abundance of non-believers? There are various explanations (Zuckerman, 2004; Paul, 2002; Stark and Finke, 2000; Bruce, 1999). 

   One leading theory comes from Norris and Inglehart (2004), who argue that in societies characterized by plentiful food distribution, excellent public healthcare, and widely accessible housing, religiosity wanes. Conversely, in societies where food and shelter are scarce and life is generally less secure, religious belief is strong. 

   Through an examination of current global statistics on religiosity as they relate to income distribution, economic inequality, welfare expenditures, and basic measurements of lifetime security (such as vulnerability to famines, natural disasters, etc.), Inglehart and Norris (2004) convincingly argue that despite numerous factors possibly relevant for explaining different rates of religiosity world-wide, “the levels of societal and individual security in any society seem to provide the most persuasive and parsimonious explanation” (p.109).iii Of course, there are anomalies, such as Vietnam (81% non-believers in God) and Ireland (4-5% non-believers in God). But aside from these two exceptions, the correlation between high rates of individual and societal security/well-being and high rates of non-belief in God remains strong.

   There is hope for Japan, as we have heard from the rising number of convert on the heavily affected area of North-eastern island of Honshu by the said tsunami. Out of the ruins emerge beauty and salvation. Let us continue praying for Japan...as well as the rest of the world. 

2nd Thessalonians 1:8: “In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power.”

Have You Seen Any Symbols Lately? Emoticons

    Before we go to our topic for today, here are recent useful symbols you can use to make your Facebook experience livelier:

   One topic that I love discussing on this blog are signs and symbols because I've notice that a lot of people are NOT taking this business seriously...even though in the occult agenda symbolism means everything and anything. Most people are caught unaware that even corporate "logos" had hidden meanings. 

    Like for instance on above list of emoticons there's :42:

    So what does 42 means? 42 is the meaning of life....confused?

   Here's the best explanation so far, In Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a superior race builds a supercomputer able to calculate the meaning of life. The answer they get after many years is 42. The super computer then says what they really want is the correct question that puts the answer into perspective.

   So as a joke people will say the meaning of life is 42.

   That is why, as much as I can, tries to educate people about the danger of symbols. Symbols are very dangerous because it goes into a persons subconscious mind. Meaningless and innocent on the outside but vile on the inside. 

   Remember that most of the time ignorance can kill. Aside from the power associated with symbols, these can lead us into understanding secrets and the scopes of evil network. By simply recognizing symbols or icons alone, you will know who's who with their evil relationships.   

   The answer to this article's title question is to my personal observation is that an individual is exposed to evil signs on daily basis without being aware that this symbols had direct effect in their lives. Confucius knew the secret very well...and tried to warn us.

   “Signs and symbols rule the world, not words nor laws.” -Confucius.

   The Bible itself uses symbols to represents an individual or group of people. Terms like Lion of Judah, Morning Star, Serpent of Old, Vessel or chalice, etc...

   But in Occult Religions symbols are taken literally to denote power and are even place on pedestal for worship. Bible symbols are even used by Satanic group because they believe these representation will also exhibit the power of character described. Symbolism had turn into idolatry which God hated so much. There is an on-going attack of symbolism and the casualties are ignorant about the weapon that hit them. 

   As an artist I also use symbols to represent an idea or experiences. It was never my intent that this symbols would be an object of worship. In the same way that God intentions on symbols should be observe properly...not for idol worship but for communication purposes to illustrate something. The Occult on the other hand, elevate these signs into an emblem with secret powers. This emblems are known and distributed all throughout the esoteric worlds. 

Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.-- Isaiah 2:8

   By nature, human had that inclination to associate things with symbols because early in life, we had been educated to understand language via visual representations.  

   Occult group uses symbols to communicate to each other, that's what we have witness during Olympic games. 

   Through this article (and hopefully in the future) I hope it will shed enough light for awareness and understanding of these deceptive symbols. Knowing the origin, like that of 42 will put us into proper perspective.

Triquetra (Triqueta)

 

   Oh yes I'm sure you've seen this symbol. Also known as the Irish Trinity Knot, this symbols is popularized by Television hit series "Charmed"...probably as a less threatening alternative to the pentacle or pentagram (the preferred emblem of witches real and imaginary). Represented accurately, the TV program uses the symbol as "power of three, acting as one". That is what Triquetra is all about. 

   Deceptively made to represent the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost...it was actually an interlocking vesica piscis...a fertility symbol. Below is a sample picture how it was tried to tied up with Christianity:

   Well if you understand it's origin, you will know that the act is an abomination and disrespect to the God-head. 

   Wicca witches associate the symbols for the triplet goddess (maid, mother, and crone) but delusional Christians protest the association that this was a clean symbol representing three interlocking fish...the common symbol for Jesus. 

   Maybe because Jesus had made many miracle using fish and he even said "I will make you fishers of men" but that was a wrong association. Would it be more proper to use the Fishnet or Fish hook symbols instead (no I am not suggesting anything) for fishermen? 
   Jesus had never said that He is a fish but symbolically said that His disciple should be like fishermen or even a harvester of souls. This tying-up of the fish worship had been discuss before on my earlier blogs as a fertility goddess and gods worship. 

   The clever ploy was to make two opposite faith meet. That's how imaginative human artist to mix together paganism and Christianity. The vesica piscis or Pisces in Astrology is originally intended for Venus a.k.a. Satan or the Bright Morning Star. 

   To a keen observer, this fertility symbol is often engrave on a chalice (vessel) where Catholic Priest drinks the blood of Jesus. Drinking from the womb of Mary, the Mother of god?

    After this blog, some of you might simply shrugged and ignore...could it be just coincidence that the Vatican love to adapt Satanic symbols? Think long and hard, recall my earlier articles that shows the Catholic faith had so many Pagan symbols in their rituals practices and they are well aware about the origin of those symbols. Catholics encyclopedia admits all the accusation, but their laymen are willing to defend their obscure faith. Why is that? Why do we have to compromise our life? 

   Their adaptation and proud use of Babylonian icons should have caught your attention already...it should have made you investigate further what am I talking about...BUT MOST PEOPLE ARE HOPELESSLY BRAINWASHED FANATICS. It doesn't make sense anymore to hold on to a faith that has so many contradicting doctrines. We are talking of Eternal life here and you are ignoring "visible" and written facts. 
   The Catholic faith has killed more people than any other War in History!!!  Past and Present. You can discuss that with any history professor...In the name of Religion, the Vatican had purge the most enemy without mercy. A God who had instructed it's follower to love it's enemy may have been not really serious about that command since the leading organization that claims to be Christians are brutal killers.  

   Who is the Babylonian Harlot Queen that Revelation is talking about?

   Wake up while there is still time. 

  By the way, I had been trying to avoid attacking the Catholic church but whenever I speak of the occult agenda, it is unavoidable not to speak of the main source. I'm sure when you have familiarized yourself with these symbol, you will slowly understand the inter-connection of occult leadership. You can easily spot who are with the devil. 

   I had so many Catholic friends, that are very dear to me, I don't wish to be in conflict with them...not in my wildest dream. Please re-consider what the Bible had been telling you. This message goes out to all Christians. Kindly check what WORD you are following.

Painting Again!!!

Perhaps when I say that I am "Painting Again" it would surprise my closest friends. They constantly sees me creating artworks on regular basis...  Sketching faces and things here and there...so what do I mean? 
   I am painting again means I am speaking of individual pieces...

FROM THE LAB TO THE WORLD

   Unlike my regular affair on my visual manuscripts or art journals....where I simply express the feeling of a fleeting moment while at the same time honing my skills...this time I am creating outworks on linear prose. 

   Everything inside those books are spontaneous and by the dictate of the moment. This time the discipline to go linear had to be prioritized.
As I've said before Visual manuscripts are my laboratory of experiences...where in fleeting moment are explored in minute detail...it is where I explore feelings and at the same time honing my skills. 

  

   I rarely make individual piece because it's hard to frame a story. Honestly, the challenge to summarized an idea takes lots of mental aerobics and brainstorming. (The brainstorming happens inside my visual journals) Yet, this time I think I have gathered enough experiences and courage to burst my sentiment on a 2D platform. Usually, illuminations on experiences takes years and hundreds of pages to fully fathom the depth.  

   Simply gathering images and experience… let them hang on my head for awhile…until the feeling of the moment lingers. Perhaps a realization would emerge out of this fleeting moment. That’s how we begin a process of illumination…and that’s how I want to express my Artworks. I measure the success of my artwork when you begin to asked “Why”? This artist won’t be there to explain…just let it hang there…the answer usually lies from within.

   Of course, there will still be daily doses of sketches to ease down the tension.

Mercy is Falling like Rain

I'll illuminate once again at this stage of my life...everything is happening so fast and I have to keep my feet on the ground. I was just so overwhelm how God open all these opportunities for me to explore...I had never felt so bless in years. 

   I can not talk much as of now...I'll just let the above painting speaks on my feeling at this very moment. The work is simply called "Renewal" ...

   So I am painting again...Yah! I didn't actually stop or take a pause but there is a new vitality on my artworks nowadays, which I will share on days to come. I should say a new phase for my life as well. 

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. -- Romans 10:17

JIL 34th Anniversary Today!!!

The World is getting Better?

Talking about the Blowing of the Trumpets, here are some of the alarming News headlines.

Here is a summary of where the world stands: -

- Unable to reach a compromise over the weekend, South Africa is now in an all out labor strike, with the police again firing rubber bullets at miners with lethal escalation guaranteed

- Back from vacation, the once again penniless citizens of Spain, Greece, and Portugal have resumed protesting austerity

- US embassies attacked, in many cases with numerous casualties, inEgypt, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco, Sudan, Lebanon, India, Balgadesh, Indonesia, and others.

- Japan “appropriating” China-contested islands provoking a firestorm of retaliation including demands for “war with Japan”

- The Japanese ambassador to China dying mysteriously

- Netanyahu telling Meet the Press Iran will have a nuke in six-seven months and must be stopped beforehand

- Warships from more than 25 countries, including the United States, Britain, France, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, launching a military exercise in the Straits of Hormuz

- A third US aircraft – the CVN-74 Stennis – carrier is en route to Iran with an ETA of about 10 days

- And finally, a potential catalyst to light this whole mess on fire, Iran’s Revolutionary Guardannouncing that its troops are now on the ground in Syria.

Cyber Crime Prevention Act

   There's an unfinished business that I must do...Nah, this is not a vigilante statement, what I mean is, in spite of my hectic schedule these past days, at least I should blog something on the day before Cybercrime Law shall be implemented. Yes Pinoy bloggers that will be tomorrow. 
   Hot topic now of electronic geeks nationwide. So what's it all about? 
   I check the content of Republic Act No. 10175...There's one scary paragraph under section 4 : 
   (4) Libel. — The unlawful or prohibited acts of libel as defined in Article 355 of the Revised Penal Code, as amended, committed through a computer system or any other similar means which may be devised in the future.
   Libel seems to be too strong a word especially in the traditions of cyber sharing. Then Section 5 is even more scarier, that is, if you re-post or even liked a statement deemed "mapanirang puri" (Libel) you are considered liable and deserve some punishment too. (At least, that's my interpretation of it)

Ceasefire!!! Hold your mouses hackers...
   So, where's the implementing rules? At this stage, maybe the people should not over react yet...not in the meantime...we can still pray, that the implementing guidelines wouldn't be too harsh to petty crimes. Now what are petty crimes anyway? 
   The trouble with this is, it's too hard to label a libel, what I mean is, anything can be considered a libel. Like if somebody say I am cute and then I react "No I'm not cute...I am handsome." 

    Anything you say will be used against you. Beware! Anyone who has personal grudge against you can go to court and file a case...of course, haters can always look for your flaws. Believe me...that's a scary fact. Anyone who hate you, will just have to wait for your criminal "comment"...

   Seriously, libel is too abstract for the common people. The innocent can actually go to jail by simply expressing what he or she feels. That is this administration's Martial Law according to people outburst. 

   I've just realized that Filipino hackers are world class. So they can actually ruin your browsing experience. 
   I think it's the only crime people actually support. Ironically, the masses is directly Preventing the Prevention Act. Chaotic and confusing isn't it.
   Lately, the Aquino administration is doing a lot of backdoor move. This law was passed in haste and silently. Unheralded and it just exploded right in front of Internet users face. 
   Suspicious? It's necessary I guess for the government not to conduct public forum on this matter since it would categorically fall victim again into another RH Bill debate syndrome. They want the law very bad. Why? How would I know?! 
   The author, I forgot who (just over heard it), said that in the original draft "Libel" was not included. The original intention was to deter real crimes like pornography, Scams and fraud, identity theft, bullying...and so on. So where was the insertion happened? This people should be checked. What are their intentions? 
   I have to post this blog now before midnight hits or else I would be charge against RA 10175 for asking. At least, this blog happened before the law was passed. Goodbye freedom!!!!!!!!!! 

   Think long and hard about this item on the News:

   Lawyer James Mark Terry Ridon, national president and general counsel of Kabataan Partylist, explained that DOJ can “theoretically invoke” Section 19 of RA 10175 to impose a total access ban on social networking sites in the future.
   Section 19 states, “When a computer data is prima facie found to be in violation of the provisions of this Act, the DOJ shall issue an order to restrict or block access to such computer data.”
“This effectively gives the DOJ total control of the Internet in the Philippines. As only prima facie evidence is needed, the new law has done away with due process,” Palatino said. (Source)

Returning to Genesis

Since it seems the world is about to go into a major war...and transformation afterwards...I feel nostalgic...I wish to return from the very beginning.
