Episode 16

"I know, right?" he told the person at the other end. "Listen, people will believe what they want to believe. That's the way of the world. They don't want ivory-tower quality, they want tittilation, so we tittilate them. It's called public service. What's the point of changing their lives? They don't even want to raise their consciousness. What they want is black and white, with a bad-to-the-bone villain and a hero with a pure heart. No gray areas. Moral dilemma is good but we need sex. You know why most always root for the underdog? Because they know he'll eventually win; it's inevitable. And when he does, they share the victory and it becomes a part of their own achievements. What a long strange trip across the universe. Hmmm. Weh! Really? O-M-G, that's a good angle! I like the way your mind works! It's you! Give me an outline, uh, today's Thursday, um, tonight! Well, that's it pansit! See you later alligator, for a while crocodile, cure your reptile dysfunction, okay?"

This piece is part of the first draft of a story I'm writing today that touches on, among other subjects, the controversial book Holy Blood, Holy Grail. I decided not to include it because the point I'm making has nothing to do with religion. 

I can accept that Jesus had sired children or that he was even a revolutionary out to overthrow the Roman Empire. He was a descendent of David and therefore the rightful king of Jerusalem. I can also accept that he didn't die on the cross and that the Bible is not the infallible word of God because my faith does not come from blind obedience.

Episode 15

The editorial office of the weekly variety magazine Matanglawin is bustling. Every Saturday night, it seems the entire universe is tracking down that career-defining exclusive and chasing those elusive deadlines.

Lea was striding purposely amid the noise and the haste towards the glass-enclosed inner sanctum of their editor. Lea is beauty and brains, yet one can see the strength of character needed to be an effective journalist, and the spirit of competitiveness and the fiery determination to reach the top.

The publisher and editor-in-chief, whom everyone affectionately calls Daddy Groovy, was on the phone and he motioned for her to sit and chill.

I will love the one I love until I die. Love is not to possess a person like an object. It is about trust.

Love is about trusting your partner and trusting in the universe to show you the path you must go for your own spiritual growth.

"Trust allows the experience of bliss," writes one of my favorite spiritual authors, Gary Zukav, in The Seat of The Soul. "When you trust that the universe in each moment is providing for the needs of your soul, and that the guidance and assistance of your nonphysical guides and Teachers are always available to you, you are free to enjoy your interactions with others and to leave aside the heavier frequencies of manipulation and protectiveness."

"Jesus Christ," was all the priest could say.

Alfonzo slowly shook his head slowly with an air of mystery. 

"He's not here."

Padre Amidala started to recite the Lord's Prayer – and Alfonzo joined him. The priest stopped, speechless.

"You insult your God with empty words!" Alfonzo sneered at him.

The priest kept backing up, and fell back on the front pew.

Alfonzo walked slowly towards him.

The universe is my friend. I have a beautiful life. I live in a wonderful world. I can think of a lot more corny cliches but they all say the same message–and they all lead to the same truth.

Alfonzo went beside her swiftly it's was like he standing there all along.

 

He whispered in her ear.  "Yes."

Padre Amidala's knees went weak as he watched the woman leave.

Alfonzo turned to him.

"I cannot forgive you, Father," he said. "You have sinned."
