Lessons from a Camel in a Dessert

We had a great Full Moon Ritual last night with the Filipino Peace Weavers and we celebrate it with Praying for Peace and conduct the Bansagan Talatanda naming ceremony with our newest Shrine Member. After completing all the ritual procedures, we stay up to almost 12 midnight in having a fellowship discussion of what is happening to our life. Because it was like an Online Reunion that we could interact face-to-face even just on a video call. There we ask questions and give answer to it. And I was so happy that the fellowship we have looks like a mini leadership training conference that we share our experiences in running a coven, shrine and temple.

Then there was a question that I have to explain very well about what they are seeing with me about my Facebook activity in complaining about our water service provider. The Question was, how we should deal as Peace Weaver the situation of getting mad/angry with other people.

As an Individual Peace Weaver, it is our responsibility to secure our own individual peace, but it also happen that even in our own home, such as having water supply interruption on a daily basis will make you mad and steal the peace that you secure. And there are times that you are strengthening the peace in your house, but there are by passer that will just throw garbage in your front door and what you do is just pick up the garbage that other people throw unto you. I believe if you always do that, people will get to use in throwing their garbage everywhere because in their mind there will be someone who pick it up specially if they throw it in front of my door. Well as Peace Weaver, aside from securing the Peace in our Lives, we also need to teach other people to respect other people in having their own peace. Being a Peace Weaver doesn’t mean that you are always silent. But a True Peace Weavers are the one who secure their own Peace and share it to others that they may also develop it in their lives. Being a Peace Weaver doesn’t mean you allow other people to abuse you, to bully you and terrorize you with their Behavior towards you. But as a Peace Weaver, we have to stand up to what is right and not harmful to you or to anyone else. Our Motivation comes from the Love that we have received and treasure it that will give us everlasting Peace. Just like happiness, it change through time, so as peace. As it change, the values and virtues also expands in order to adopt to the changes that the world is walking through.

Just like this evening, I have a Friend from Germany who ask for a Tawas Reading or Traditional Filipno Divination, as the image is forming, what I see first is a person prostrating to the floor in Prayer just like a Muslim who prays prostrating their head on the floor. This image teach us Humility and Submission. Then I saw an Image of a Camel which has a double hunch back. As a Camel, I see the creature walking in a Sunny Dry Dessert. It teach us Endurance and must continue to walk even on a Dry, Sunny Dessert, because if we stop, we might be burnt by the heat of the sun and get dehydrated. Continues walking will allow us to see hope as we continue moving on and who knows we might find our Oasis if we just continue walking forward. And the Camel has a Hunch back which is like a storage room where the camel stock his own water supply. And if we relate that to the persons life, as an individual, we carry our own baggage of goodies, and that is the lessons we have learned in the past so as the love that we have received from our Families.

Today, we might be walking on a Sunny Dry Dessert, but we do not need to stop living our life because we are broke, we can use our talent that we store up in our back and use that to survive. And with these, I invite you to pray with me. So let us Pray:

There is one Power in the Universe and we are the perfect manifestation of that power and for as such we Pray for Peace.

We Pray for Peace

We Pray for Love

And we Pray for Stability.

We Pray that all the people in the world to Embrace Peace.

Peace that promotes Justice

Justice that follows Discipline and Orderliness;

Discipline and Orderliness as a result of Understanding;

Understanding as a Product of Knowledge;

and Knowledge as a Fruit from the Seeds of Love.

Oh Great Supreme Divine Spirit, we ask you to bless us your Children with Courage, Bravery and Strength. So that through these Blessings we may be able to overcome all forms of evil, fear, hatred, terror, violence, warfare and worries around the World.

By the Power of Love that give us Life, May Peace Prevails on Earth.

May all the People around the world be Blessed with Peace;

May all the creatures of Mother Earth enjoys the Blessings of Love.

As we Create and Manifest these in our Lives, by our Unified Will with aiming no harm to anyone, and in Full Gratitude to the Divine.

We accept and received it, and it is so, So Mote it Be!
