I love the sense of a new beginning when New Year comes
near.
In my spiritual journey, I learned
that time is not linear, not a series of past, present and future moments, but
rather, everything is happening all at once.
I owe my awakening to many people,
most of whom I've never met in my current lifetime, yet they all became my
teachers. Some are still living, like Chris Grissom, Gary Zukav and Jaime
Licauco. Some are gone, like Wayne Dyer, Jose Silva and Robert Monroe.
And some are even nonphysical, like
Abraham, Ambres, Seth and the voice that spoke through Edgar Cayce.
I have come to know the places
where time and space do not even exist. A new book found me yesterday, The
Celtic Shaman by John Matthews, allowing me to see more clearly my relationship
to all of creation.
A shaman, like Don Miguel Ruiz from
whom I learned the ancient yet timeless wisdom of the Toltecs, and Don Juan
Matus and Don Genaro from the classic memoirs of Carlos Castañeda, is a man of
wisdom and a voyager between worlds. With us throughout our lives is our inner
shaman and our power animals mak who will be our guides and protectors.
John Matthews' book came at the
perfect moment in my life, as if summoned by a Higher Power, which, after all
is said and done, I know to be true. I'm on the right track and my journey
continues.
"Go swiftly and gently,"
he says, "and your path will surely be filled with wonder."
No matter what we have gone through, the magic of Christmas
always bring back those beautiful moments where we are at peace, and the
memories of people who have touched our lives.
The time traveler Phineas Bogg had seduced Cleopatra in
ancient Egypt and faced Spartacus in the arena in ancient Rome.
He met Jeffrey who, like me when I
used to watch "Voyagers!" every week, was a young boy in the 1980s.
As guardians of time. they had
saved the course of human events and touched the lives of those who made
history. I saw time in terms of centuries
when I was a child, and now I even realized that infinite worlds lay beyond
time and space.
The world is moving on and it will
go on its merry way. Time is passing by like clouds moving across the sky, high
above the dunes where our names are written on the sand.
Voyagers!

"But," protested Daddy Groovy "don't you
think I might want to talk to him about something else?"
"Like what?" asked Ruffa
May. "Oh, never mind!" She rolled her eyes. Then a thought struck
her. "Oh!" she exclaimed. "If I call him, he'll think I'm madly
in love with him!"
All three of them were stumped by
her dilemma.
The imaginative secretary figured
out a way, though. "I know!" she said brightly. "I'll tell
Monica to call him!"
"Wait a second, Monica is with
the archives at the basement," said Daddy Groovy. "Why not just ask
Benny, who's next to your desk?"
"We're not talking, Daddy
Groovy."
"Why not?"
"Because we just broke
up!"

I sat on the edge of the exit platform. On the other side of
the field was a suburban area with children playing on the street.
In another scene I was riding a
bike-like flying machine. I thought it was so cool. Suddenly, gecko lizards
came out of the small engine. They scrambled up my legs. I threw them away one
by one.
I landed the flying bike in the
middle of an empty street. There were no houses, just fields of grass on both
sides of the road.
I took off my clothes to get rid of
the lizards. On the bend of the road I heard a vehicle approaching. I saw in my
mind'seye an image of a gray SUV full of nuns. The last thing I remember was
quickly trying to put on my jeans before they see me naked.

"Lea!" he said proudly,
radiating sunshine. "One of our top reporters! You've been with us for,
what, two, three months? You've come a long way! Yeah, I remember now! The
Santa Barbara Massacre!"
"That was my first story,
Chief!"
"First scoop, first cover
story, winner! Is it also your first time to write? Joke!"
He motioned to her secretary Ruffa
May, just outside the glass wall.
"Hello, beautiful people of
the Philippines, Mabuhay!" she greeted with her Winnie Cordero
impersonation.
"Hey, beh," she told Lea,
"I have a new box of lipsticks!" Then added, "From China!"
"Oh, I'm sure that can
wait," Daddy Groovy said cheerfully. "Can you call Enrique from the
lay-out department?"
"But, Daddy Groovy," said
Ruffa May, "I already talked to him earlier!"
"What about?"
"Well, he says he misses me
but, of course, I don't believe him," Ruffa May told him. "Men are
awful liars!" she pointed out.

I was in a small unfamiliar mall looking down from the
mezzanine. There was an escalator going down which goes besides another
escalator going up to another level.
I went down but missed going up the
other one because both were moving too fast. When I reached the ground, I saw
the switch that controls the speed.
I was jolted by static when I
touched it. I tried again but it didn't work. I continued walking. There were
only a handful of people. The mall speakers was playing Carol Banawa's version of "Maalaala Mo Kaya" (Will You Remember).
A large exit like an open garage
led to a field covered with grass.
