SIDDHA

napakalalim ng ating sariling karunungan tungkol sa oracion. likas sa ating mga pilipino ang madasalin. masasalamin dito ang katutubong paniniwala sa patnubay ni bathala sa ating buong pagkatao…. narito po ang isang halimbawa ng panalanging tunay na sariling atin, na may patungkol sa pwersang bumabalot sa ating pagkatao…

” ET DEUS OMNIA
ITA***** ICOLUM DEUS.
AMEN…”

” sa katayuan ng patnubay na sumasanib sa bawat nilikha na hinubog sa antas ng matayog po ninyong kapangyarihan.

sumasaamin po nawa ang ganap na pagpapala at lualhati ng kahariang inyo pong pinagmulan.

kaligtasan, patnubay at ganap na pag gawad.

oracion ng matayog na pag pupuri, pagsakop ng matugatog na langit.”

amen.

“Etius in obitu nostro praesentia muniamur!
Crux sacra sit mihi lux! Nunquam draco sit mihi dux!

vade retro Satana! Nunquam suade mihi vana!
Sunt mala quae libas. Ipse venena bibas!”

May we be strengthened by his presence in the hour of our death!
May the holy cross be my light! May the dragon never be my guide!
Begone Satan! Never tempt me with your vanities!
What you offer me is evil. Drink the poison yourself!

…a friend of mine emailed me about this prayer, i find the latin version more potent,
so i posted it along with the english version.

i used to love this prayer when i was growing up. it brings me back to my childhood fascination to filipino folk magick, such as the oracion and the native healing arts, like hilot, tawas and kulam.

you could say that there is
stillness while moving.

you could wear a robe of matter
and suddenly discard it at death.

you could be agitating
while perpetually at peace,

part of you knows the
beginning and the end.

all are yet to be awakened
of their own essence

to start the journey towards
the fields of peace.

layer by layer
the unmasking of the 7 veils

will reveal the beauty of the
beloved’s face.

why is it that everytime
i was reminded of you,
it pained me so much?

my remembrance of you
is like an old scar from
a deep wound…

it somehow healed
but not forgotten,
searing me both ways,
inside and out.

a painful past that even
my numerous rebirth
cannot escape.

mother earth
has provided us everything
to satisfy our needs,
but not our greed.

everytime i look at the bright-eyed 3 years old child, its impossible for me to think that there is a dark side of life. i can feel the innocence in their heart and the purity of their minds. all is an awe to them. the world is an amazing place to explore… life is so good and beautiful, not knowing the other side of it.

life is eventful, misfortunes may come and go and no one is exempted to that experience. feelings of fear and loss will have become identifiable experience as they grow old. birth, diseases, old age and death… slowly it will become a reality to them. from a clean slate, to a tainted soul.

if only we can maintain that state of purity and innocence… then enlightenment is attainable in this lifetime.
