font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">© 2007 Denise Miller www.swansong.ca</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";

font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We forgive others, not for them, but for ourselves. Even if the wrong is never acknowledged or atoned for, we may want to feel our way back to a caring place. It’s the place we’d rather live in.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The wrongs of parents are among the most difficult to forgive. We expect the world of them and don’t want to lower our expectations. Decade after decade we hold the hope, often unconscious, that they will finally do right by us. We want them to own up to all their misdeeds, to apologize, to beg us for forgiveness. We want them to give us the love we’ve always craved.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>We want them to embrace us, tell us they know we were good children, to undo the favouritism or criticism, to give us their praise.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is a very natural want. No one is perfectly mature. We may hunger for our parents to repair whatever damage they have done long after we are adults. We get into trouble though, when we let this hunger rule our lives.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>We become the forever-child, the forever-victim, the one who is forever Searching for a love that is impossible to find.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We want them to do what is necessary to deserve our forgiveness; we can’t let them have the satisfaction of our simply forgiving them. In many cases, even after they have died. As a result we may live forever in an immature place around this issue. We may forever live with and accept the horrible</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">opinions of ourselves that were formed and fostered by them. If we hold a grudge we are hanging on, not only to our parent, but most negatively, to the bad part of the parent.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In some ways it’s as if we have put our lives on hold. We will not live our lives completely until we have resolved this issue and feel the security of unconditional love. We stay locked into the badness and never grow up. We stay there waiting as that forever-child. Forever-Children don’t have satisfying jobs or real relationships. We will unconsciously stay in this forever-child place, waiting for our parents to rescue us. And they never will.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We can stay there in Neverland until we die blaming them for ruining our lives. Or we can finally step into a forgiving place and step into our lives. When we stay locked into that waiting game with our parents we do not allow reality to bother us. There may be a wonderful relationship or a very</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">fulfilling job in our lives right now. These loving parts of our lives could heal us, but we can’t allow those to be true. If they were then we would see that our parents aren’t to blame anymore and we’d let them off the hook. So these jobs and relationships will always not quite be what we are hoping for. They will not quite measure up. This must be true if we base our lives on blaming our parents for ruining them. We are like a small child who loses our mother in a big store. Nothing will soothe us until she comes for</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">us. We don’t want our partner’s love. Only our mother’s will do.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Before we can locate our forgiving self we have to process this old hurt and anger. Some believe that it’s better to leave that alone, to not dredge up the past. You have a functioning relationship with your parent now, why mess with that? This unfelt anger is keeping you from feeling any real warmth.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Forgiving our parents is a core task of adulthood and one of the most crucial kinds of forgiveness because is reverberates through our psychic lives. We see our parents in our mates, our bosses and our children. If we feel rejected by our parents we will inevitably feel rejected by these important others as well. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>We have all had these feelings of being overly sensitive or having our buttons pushed. Our lover doesn’t call back soon enough and we begin to feel unwanted, cast aside, unattractive or depressed and then out for vengeance. Our child is pouty, angry, unwilling to make up with us. We cease to see him as a child and he turns into our tormentor, our rejecter, making our lives into a misery. This is a part of what is at stake if we don’t let our parents off the hook.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We re-create with the people we love, our worst experiences with our parents.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Most parents love their children, even those that beat them or molest them.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>But no parent is perfect and so we all have our childhood wounds. Some of us are aware of this and allow that knowledge to bring this awareness to</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">the place of hurt that dwells within us all.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Some of our parent’s bad sides were so bad though that it is impossible to hold onto the good. When we hold onto this rage, this chronic hatred inevitably this means that the worst aspects of that parent live on in our heads. That’s when we hold on to those feelings of being unloved, unlovable, and unloving.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Forgiveness does not mean that you accept or condone what your parents did to you as right. It does not mean that you deny their selfishness, their rejection, their meanness, their brutality, or any of their other limitations or character flaws.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">To forgive them does two important things for you.</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">First - You separate from them. Stop seeing ourselves as children who depend on them for our emotional well being. Stop being their victims and recognize that we are adults with some capacity to shape our own lives and the responsibility to do so.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Second - You let them back in your heart. We can then begin to recognize some of the circumstances and limitations they laboured under and recognize the goodness in them that our pain has pushed aside. We can feel some compassion for them; not only for the hard journey they had, but also for the pain we caused them. Sometimes when we become parents we gain insight into how hard it is to get the job done right. Sometimes we see that our judgements have been horribly unfair. We may see that we’ve made one parent the scapegoat and the other one the god, or been unjust in some other way.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We can achieve forgiveness by taking a vital inner journey to deal with our hurts. On this journey we allow ourselves to feel the longings that have been pushed aside and made unconscious. To feel the part of us that is still a child, desperately in love and horribly hurt and hoping against hope that the parent will be good again and make everything right. When we can feel these childhood longings, understand them, talk about them, cry perhaps, a subtle change takes place within us. We are able to care about our own</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">hurt. Not in a self-pitying way, but the secure adult part of us can soothe and embrace this child.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is the beginning of a process that can lead us out of bitterness and into a place of releasing the bad part of our parents and recognizing the good part that we may have forgotten. This can pave the way to</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">forgiveness.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Forgiveness is a gift to ourselves because it brings us back to the good parts of a relationship. Here we can experience ourselves as loving and lovable people. This strengthens our sense of self, as selves separate from our parents, because like it or not we will always be identified with them.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This journey to forgiveness can be a long and complicated one. We have to be ready to forgive. We have to want to forgive. The deeper the wound, the more difficult the process is. That is why forgiving our parent is especially hard. Along the way we may have to express our protest, we may have to be angry and resentful; we may even have to punish our parents by holding a grudge. But when we get there the forgiveness we achieve will be forgiveness worth having.</span></p>Naomi Corpuzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08611089121169147473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145070525298003712.post-41651869470219816942021-08-04T23:00:00.003+08:002021-08-04T23:00:53.239+08:00Feeding The Soul by Steven Kessler<p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><p></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 2px;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Feeding the Soul</span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">by Steven Kessler</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b><i><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">"As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live."<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></i></b></p><p class="p3" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b><i><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>--- Goethe</span></i></b></p><p class="p4" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Imagine you're eating an apple. You feel the crunch against your teeth. You taste the juiciness, the sweetness and the tartness, the texture as you chew.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Then you swallow and it goes down into your stomach. Your body starts to break it down. All those digestive acids start to separate it into the parts you can use and the parts you can't use. The sugars go to the muscles; the calcium goes to the bones; the potassium goes to the nerves. The bones get stronger, the nerves work better, and the muscles have more strength and aliveness for movement.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">And then tomorrow, you're done with it. Your body has separated out what's nutritious from what's not. You go to the bathroom and you let go of what's not useful, what's not you anymore. And you have the use of the good parts for living. If you're a child and you're still growing, you grow. If there are parts of your body that are hurt, they heal. And this process goes on without you having to think about it. Pretty neat, huh?</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">But what does this have to do with feeding the soul? Well, there are some parallels we can draw between how the body eats and how the soul eats.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">We know what the body eats: it eats apples and fish and pizzas and all sorts of things. What does the soul eat? It eats experience.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">How does it eat experience? Let's go back to the example of eating the apple. Imagine biting into it. There is the experience of the sweetness, the experience of the tartness, the experience of the crunch and the texture. There is something in those experiences that the soul can use. But, like the body, it can't use those things in raw form. It has to put them through a digestive process to extract the nourishment.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Now before we continue the analogy, let's take a moment to talk about what we mean here by 'soul'. We mean the part of you that is aware, that experiences. We mean the experiencer, something that is not static, that is not the same when you die as it was when you were born. We mean something active and dynamic. Something that is curious and intelligent and juicy by its very nature. Something that grows and develops, something that learns by experiencing and digesting its experiences.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">So how does this digestion process work? Well, just like with eating food, the first step in the process is to take the experience in and hold it. We hold our food in our stomach. How do we hold experience? We hold experience just by being there with it, just by our simple awareness of it. But we get in the way of this step when we push our experience away, when we say "No, that's not okay for me to experience. I don't think like that." Suppose you're feeling angry with someone, but you have a belief that says, "I'm not allowed to feel angry at people," so you deny that experience and push it away, out of awareness. As long as you keep it out of your awareness, that experience will not get digested, and you will not learn anything from it.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">This is one of the problems with being judgmental. It serves to push away the experience that you're really having, which keeps you from digesting it and learning from it. And that's why self-acceptance is so necessary to personal growth. The first thing we have to do is to actually let the experience in. If you don't take the piece of apple into your mouth and chew it and swallow it, you won't get any food value out of it. And it's the same with experience: if you don't take the experience in, your soul won't get any value out of it.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Now, sometimes an experience is really overwhelming and we have to keep it out for a while. There can be good reasons for doing this. Maybe you remember something that happened to you that was so overwhelming you just forgot about it for a while. Or maybe you distracted yourself so you didn't have to pay too much attention to it. When an experience is overwhelming, we have to push it away in order regulate the amount of charge in our nervous system. When our system is dis-regulated, we can’t digest experience, anyway, so bringing ourselves back into balance has to be our first priority. But eventually we have to come back to the experience and digest it.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">With food, if you eat something that isn't good for you, your body can get rid of it. There are a couple of options. You can throw up. Or you can get diarrhea – your body can flush it through. Or if you eat something that is toxic or poisonous to you, your body can coat it with mucous and pass it through without touching it – not even try to digest it, but just encapsulate it until it can be excreted.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">So the body has these options – but the soul doesn't. When you’ve heard the bell ring, you can’t un-hear it. When we have an experience, we can’t un-have it; eventually we have to digest it. We can encapsulate it – that’s what repression is all about – but we can't excrete it. Sooner or later, since it's stuck in our bodies and is clamoring for attention, we have to attend to it. Have you noticed that we all have patterns in our lives, patterns that take us back to the childhood scenes where we were hurt? That is the action of those old buried hurts, saying "Hey! Pay some attention to me." There is something in us that knows we need to go back and digest those old buried experiences, both to get the learning from them and to clear them out of our bodies. And once we can do that, our behavior changes. The troublesome patterns diminish, and we feel lighter, clearer, stronger, and safer.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">So sooner or later, we have to digest the experiences that we've had. But we have the option to do it when we're ready and with the support we need to be able to digest it. You can have people with you to help you accept and hold the stuff that was too much to hold before. You can give yourself the stillness and time to do it. That's what meditation is for, what psychotherapy is for, what support groups are for. Even talking with a friend about what's going inside you does this. So, the first step in digesting an experience is just to hold the experience in your awareness.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The next step is to put your attention on “what do you feel?” Without censoring anything out, without letting the list of shoulds control what's going on in you, what do you actually find happening inside yourself? And not just your thoughts about it, but the raw sense perceptions in your body.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">It can be pretty unnerving sometimes. There was one time in meditation that I found myself experiencing a kind of veneer or plastic coating over everything in the world. I could almost touch it. After sitting with it and opening to it enough, I discovered that the coating was hatred, my hatred for everything in the world. There was a part of me that was hating the whole world. Now, that's not such a complimentary thing to discover about yourself. But it was amazing. For some reason, I had come to a place in my inner work where I was ready to let myself become aware of and digest that part of my overall experience. I'm sure it had been going on for years, but I had not been able to notice it. There was something about staying with that experience and actually opening to feel the qualities of that veneer – the plastic, waterproof, impenetrable film that wouldn't let anything through it – that allowed me to learn what I needed to learn from that experience.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">So I'm suggesting it is valuable to just let the digestive process happen by giving yourself time, permission, support, and letting the perceptions deepen and move through. Talking about it helps, writing about it, drawing it, painting it, dancing it, singing it – expressing it in any way – because when you put it into some outer form, when you put it into a poem or a story or a drawing, your soul can both feel it and put it outside of you, out in front of you where you can look at it and see how all the pieces fit together.</span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">There is a sorting process that is at the very root of the process, whether we're digesting food or digesting experience. When you eat food, the body has to divide it up into the useful parts and the not-useful parts, the nourishment and the waste. Well, the soul has to do the same thing when it digests experience. So what part of our experience is nourishing? Truth is what's nourishing. It is truth that feeds the soul. That's why we value it. The thing that we really crave is to know the truth, to know the reality of the situation. And that's why we're willing to go through all this difficulty to find out what really happened in a given situation.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">And what happens after you get this sorted out? Understanding, clarity, release of tension. There's a little relaxation that happens in the belly. There's a kind of clarity that comes into the mind. And suddenly things seem easier.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">There was an issue that I worked on for many years, first completely unconsciously and then more consciously, and that was, “Why did my Dad treat me the way he did? Why didn't he love me?”<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">When I was young, it didn't occur to me that the fact that he was drinking six martinis every night was part if it. I thought everybody did that. I didn't know it was different. Later, when I was in graduate school in psychology, I attended a class on alcoholic families, and as the instructor listed the characteristics of the alcoholic family, I had to hold onto my chair because things were jumping around so much inside me. I was realizing, "My God, my family does all those things." I felt awful, but suddenly things made more sense. Some of my early experience was now digestable for my soul.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">And then, years later, after doing more inner work, more therapy, more meditation, I came back from my annual Christmas visit with my parents, and when I went to see my therapist, I said, "You know, it wasn't that he didn't love <span class="s1" style="text-decoration-line: underline;">me</span>, he just didn't love anybody. He doesn't know how." The whole picture had shifted, and my soul, my psyche, was now able to separate out a new layer of what was true from what wasn't true.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I had tried for years to get through this issue. I had tried being angry with my Dad, I had tried coercing him, I had tried pretty much every method I could think of. I had also tried forgiving him, but that didn't work because there was a piece of it that I still needed to understand. I think forgiveness is a great thing, but it’s the end of the process, not the beginning or the middle. If you try to forgive somebody before you understand what happened, I suggest you're cheating yourself. You don't have to be mean to them, but notice your actual inner experience regarding them. If there is still resentment, maybe there is something that still needs to be digested.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Notice that there are steps in this process. After you eat a meal, your body needs time to digest it. And similarly, your soul needs time to digest your experience. And then there's a time for activity, for metabolizing what you have taken in, for living from it. And finally there is a time for letting go of the waste.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Fortunately, when digesting food, the body sorts out the waste for us. We go to the bathroom and the body knows exactly what part to let go of – we don’t have to think about it. With experience, what is the waste, the part we need to let go of? It’s what's false, what's not true.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">However, sometimes that false stuff can be very attractive. For instance, you may like thinking "I am the brightest guy here." But if it’s not true, the world will not reflect it back to you. When you're holding on to something false, the world appears to act in weird ways. It fails to reflect your beliefs. It does not confirm your self-image. Reality rubs up against your inflations and distortions and dismantles them. This may be uncomfortable, but if you can allow the process to run its course, you will find that the truth is more nourishing than the fantasy, no matter how attractive it was.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">So, how do you know when you're done digesting something? How do you know that the cycle is complete? With food, you know because your belly is empty; you're hungry again and ready for more. What is it that happens with experience? With experience, you are done with it when there is no longer a charge around it. What told me that I was finally done with my stuff around my Dad was that I was no longer invested in trying to get him to be different. I no longer was trying to coerce or persuade him into giving up drinking, or into coming back and being the father I had wanted. I still wished he would, but I had made peace with the fact that he probably never would.

I wouldn’t describe my family as filthy rich, for we are no Lucio Tan, Henry Sy or Roberto Gokongwei - but rather and more appropriately, “financially stable” having inherited from my grandfather the oldest and largest bookstore (presently with 4 branches) in our homeprovince. This became our bread and butter and has allowed us to enjoy a little bit more in life compared to the likes of Reycel and Helbert.</li><li class="_2cuy _509s _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; list-style-type: decimal; margin: 0px auto 12px; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap; width: auto;">I graduated Class Valedictorian in highschool and Cum Laude in B.A. Psychology in UP Diliman. Afterwhich I finished law in the same university.</li><li class="_2cuy _509s _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; list-style-type: decimal; margin: 0px auto 12px; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap; width: auto;">I have a car that allows me to enjoy the comforts of not commuting in Metro Manila. We have “kasambahays" who cook and wash our dishes and do other household chores. We also have a driver so as not to experience being tired most of the time especially when you are stuck in traffic or have long travels.</li></ol><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; width: 700px;">II.</div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; width: 700px;">Yes, my life is the complete opposite of Reycel and Helbert’s. Almost everything was given to me on a silver platter. But as poverty oftentimes closes opportunities, my situation has closed doors as well.</div><ol class="_5a_q _509r" dir="ltr" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, serif; margin: 0px auto 32px; padding-left: 14px; white-space: normal; width: 676px;"><li class="_2cuy _509s _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; list-style-type: decimal; margin: 0px auto 12px; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap; width: auto;">Coming from a prominent family and owning a huge bookstore allowed me to acquire as much as possible material and financial resources. But I never learned in childhood the hardwork our employees, my mother and my father have to go through - so that we can pay loans from the bank, pay our suppliers and pay salaries and our bills, among others. I only realized how hard this was when I was already co-managing our business in my 20’s. I also felt that we were unreachable to some people in the province who had lower means than ours since they judged us as a typical unreachable family because we had more in life.</li><li class="_2cuy _509s _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; list-style-type: decimal; margin: 0px auto 12px; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap; width: auto;">Graduating Class Valedictorian in highschool and cum laude in college were something I chose to achieve and wanted badly, but as I worked my ass off to achieve such goals academically, I had lacked the experience of having more meaningful relationships. I even missed the most important point - that is to have a meaningful relationship with our Jesus Christ, where I believe if I only had that early in childhood, all other good things would have followed.</li><li class="_2cuy _509s _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; list-style-type: decimal; margin: 0px auto 12px; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap; width: auto;">Having a car is a necessity but I never learned to commute and always depended on the driver every time it conked out. I was too sheltered and over-protected because we had employees who did almost everything for us. Which is why when our “kasambay" got ill for 2 weeks recently, I had a hard time adjusting to washing the dishes, cleaning my room and doing other household chores on my own. I had terrible back aches and easily got tired - because I am not used to it.</li></ol><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; width: 700px;">III.</div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; width: 700px;">Be that as it may, I have my highschool barkada who accept me for what I am, including my flaws. I have two bestfriends - Jovi and Joyce who are always there for me and will sacrifice their time and effort especially at times when no one else understands me anymore and I am most difficult to love. I have serious health issues but God allowed me to be supported by loving and caring friends and relatives and most especially my family.</div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; width: 700px;">When I got older and became mature, I tried to reconcile with some of the people I have hurt. Some of them did not accept me anymore but I always remember and pray for them. </div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; width: 700px;">I am also relieved that all the mistakes that I made in life happened before I became old. Imagine if I only realized these mistakes when I am already old - it will be too late and most probably I will be incorrigible by then, and life would really be unhappy and miserable for me.</div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; width: 700px;">Because of my life experiences, I also became more understanding, forgiving, non-judgemental and open-minded especially for people who are misunderstood and have personality problems. I became an “includer” and not a mean “excluder”.</div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; width: 700px;">I am blessed to have known God and how He works in my life in my early 30’s. Though I am a work in progress when it comes to my faith especially at times that I doubt and hate God, and blame Him when bad things happen to me - I talk to Him and ask for grace to understand Him and to guide me in everything that I do. Despite my frailties and limitations, I have such a blessed life for I am surrounded with love by friends (old and new) - a love that changed me for the better.</div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; width: 700px;">IV.</div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; width: 700px;">So what is my ultimate point? We cannot change the cards we are dealt with. However, no matter how ugly our combination of cards are as oppose to someone who is dealt with excellent ones, we can still win the proverbial poker. It is just a matter of how we play and the choices that we make in the game.</div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; width: 700px;">I am reading the book “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck” by Mark Manson and one of the highlights in his book is that many things that we are dealt with are not our fault - such as being born to a prominent family and graduating on top of class that shape our personalities (which sadly can be unlikeable). However it is our responsibility how to respond to it. It is our responsibility to make the choice - the right choice to change our lives and allowing the unpleasant experiences to jolt our minds so we may head to the right direction in our lives.</div></div></div>Naomi Corpuzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08611089121169147473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145070525298003712.post-30846322311177763282014-05-11T21:59:00.002+08:002014-05-12T02:53:39.320+08:00Ghost The Musical Manila, What Can I Say?<iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="710" scrolling="no" src="//instagram.com/p/n24k8eRJXh/embed/" width="612"></iframe>

GHOST THE MUSICAL MANILA IS THE BEST LOCAL PRODUCTION OF A MUSICAL PLAY I HAVE SEEN BY FAR (If you don’t agree, let us just agree to disagree… Hehe). IF at all, it was ultimately Cris Villonco who is the reason. Her performance was phenomenal, she hit the high notes so well though songs were hard and GAVE SUPERB ACTING PERFORMANCE. She made me cry. I never cried watching a play ever! Her rendition of "With You" was so heartfelt, it made me teary-eyed and her version is even better than Cassie Levy's (the original Molly in West End and Broadway). She carried the cast despite having some low energy in some scenes by the ensemble. </div>

This is also CHRISTIAN BAUTISTA’S BEST PERFORMANCE IN THEATER TO DATE. I do not agree with critics that his role was draining and his portrayal was not believable for he exuded so much empathy to the character and his portrayal was with consistent intensity! I am so glad I watched it!<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none 0px;" />
Met my classmate Maize and we were both mesmerized. The stage was simple but the lighting was fantastic. The play sends the message that the love of a person even after death remains with us, and lives in us.<br />

Johann Gabriele Dela Fuente congratulations! I like what you did with Cris’ smokey eyes bro! Continue the good work!<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Once, I listened to "<a href="https://www.facebook.com/usapangkapatid" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Usapang Kapatid</span></a>," a Catholic
radio program in DZMM and the anchors (a Jesuit priest and a nun) said, "<i>Hindi
lahat ng pari ay banal,</i>" (Not all priests are holy) as they criticize the acts of their fellow
religious who are committing offenses shared to them by their listeners. I
admire these anchors for their honesty and courage despite the risks involved
during that segment. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">On the other hand, I know a former Bishop who merely
transferred a priest to a different parish when the latter was found to be
commiting sexual acts with an active lady parishioner without even making such
priest accountable! (He should have been defrocked). I understand these priests
are only human and therefore not perfect. But they have to strive to be morally
upright and resist temptations. They should not even cover up for their fellow
priests who commit offenses. Otherwise, they don't have the moral ascendancy to
tell me what to do as a Catholic. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><i>"And why do we have to struggle to discover
that more than 400 priests have been defrocked because of child rape in the
last couple of years alone? Why aren’t their dismissals announced proudly by
the Vatican? And why, for Pete’s sake, does the Vatican not enforce a simple
rule: all accusations of child abuse should be referred immediately to secular
law enforcement?"</i></span><o:p></o:p><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">And then again, in view of above, Catholic priests cannot tell me, as they keep repeating in their homilies and mass announcements, that I must be against RH Bill. Just saying.</span></div>

I watched this play at Greenhills Promenade last year because I was curious how Joaquin or "Wacky" (his nickname) has blossomed to an actor that he is now from the 8-year-old children's musical theater workshop classmate I had more than 2 decades ago.</span><br />

I must hone my craft and get better as an actor after I finish my post-graduate degree", I keep telling myself after watching the play). </span></div>

It is because the play evokes a spectator's emotions and curiously questions the unique minds of the characters. Bart and Joaquin with their stunning acting performances and intellectual conversations weaved by the script of Logan all the more make it entertaining and keeps you thinking about the story (in all aspects) until you get home after the show (recall of scenes and lines even lingers for a few days). I hope to watch more plays like this. Kudos to Bart and Wacky! <a class="_58cn" data-ft="{"tn":"*N","type":104}" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/theatrefreak?source=feed_text" style="color: #141823; cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"><span class="_58cl" style="color: #373e4d; font-weight: normal;">#</span><span class="_58cm">theatrefreak</span></a> <a class="_58cn" data-ft="{"tn":"*N","type":104}" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/red?source=feed_text" style="color: #141823; cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"><span class="_58cl" style="color: #373e4d; font-weight: normal;">#</span><span class="_58cm">Red</span></a><a class="_58cn" data-ft="{"tn":"*N","type":104}" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/bartguingona?source=feed_text" style="color: #141823; cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"><span class="_58cl" style="color: #373e4d; font-weight: normal;">#</span><span class="_58cm">BartGuingona</span></a> <a class="_58cn" data-ft="{"tn":"*N","type":104}" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/joaquinvaldes?source=feed_text" style="color: #141823; cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"><span class="_58cl" style="color: #373e4d; font-weight: normal;">#</span><span class="_58cm">JoaquinValdes</span></a></span></div>

<br />
A professor stumbled upon my Legal Research Paper on Scribd (which
link I posted in facebook). He asked me if I wanted to write a short
essay about the PWD rights, that might get published in the Inquirer.<br />
<br />
I gladly accepted the offer ofcourse! And to be endorsed by a
professor-columnist would, I think, make more chances of getting published.<br />
<br />
I wrote then an article for one whole night until 6am in the morning. I had my adrenaline rush!<br />
I wrote an article entitled MENTALLY DISABLED in PHILIPPINE SETTING: A CALL FOR EQUAL PROTECTION.<br />
<br />
According to my professor the title was heavy so I changed the
title. Thereafter I sent a second email correcting a typo on the first
sentence. After sending my 2nd email, I talked to my professor and he said
it was for Youngblood!<br />
<br />
Youngblood?!? I made a mistake. The article I wrote was a commentary.
More of a news and informative article and I DID NOT USE THE PRONOUN
“I” which most youngblood contributors regular do - so there wasn’t any
personal touch.:(((<br />
<br />
I thought it was for a commentary since this professor has a column
for the inquirer and his former students and fellow teachers who make
articles which he endorses are all not for Youngblood but commentaries.<br />
<br />
So this morning, I edited it for the third time and sent my professor a text message:<br />
<br />
<i>Sir good morning. I have been overthinking since I sent you the
last email dahil nahihiya na ako mag edit pa ulit. But I edited this
morning anyway. Reason why, when I wrote it I didn’t know it was for
Youngblood and I thought it was for a different section like commentary.
Since Its youngblood, I edited this morning and made use of the pronoun
“I”, made the text just a bit lighter and showed the reader that I was
involved in the research. That way it has a more personal touch. I sent
the new one this morning and I don’t know if you can still tell them to
change it and consider this instead. At any case the first emails will
do but I hope they will consider this. Pacencia na po sa istorbo ulit.
Naomi.</i><br />
<br />
I was waiting for his response but he did not reply until this afternoon via email and said:<br />
<br />
<i>Naomi, I already sent them the last version before this one, and
promised it was already the final revision. Let’s just wait and see.</i><br />
<br />
<i> I have strongly endorsed your article for publication, but we
will have to wait when it is actually published. This is not unusual. I
have endorsed UP law professors in the past, and we just wait when their
essays appear. I will keep you posted. </i><br />
<br />
<i>This coming Friday, I’m leaving for a month-long fellowship in Bangkok. Let’s just keep in touch via email.</i><br />
<br />
I was disappointed he wasn’t able to send my last revision but I had no choice but to tell him, <i>“Okay Sir! No problem!”</i><br />
<br />
Anyway, whether or not I get published, I am posting the 3rd and last revision I made (which <b>wasn’t</b> submitted to the Inquirer) for posterity:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A misunderstood disease </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Naomi Therese F. Corpuz is a Junior at U.P. College of Law. She is a mental health advocate, a blogger and chocolatier. </b></div>
<br />
<b><i>“If you will not give me a valid reason why you skipped the exam, I will give you a failing grade,”</i>
said Maricar Estrella’s professor. Maricar (not her real name), a
college student from one of the prestigious schools in the country,
responded, <i>“Sir, I have clinical depression and anxiety disorder. I
was not able to study. I have prescriptions, medical receipts and a
medical certificate to prove it.”</i> The professor then replied, <i>“You mean to tell me, you can skip an exam anytime you want?”</i>
With the professor’s response, it can be concluded he did not
understand what depression and anxiety disorder mean. Even with
pertinent documents that Maricar was willing to show to prove her mental
illness, the professor brushed it aside. </b><br />
<br />
<b>While teachers can invoke what they call “academic freedom,”
that even illnesses cannot be excused – where then and how is the state
policy found in our Philippine Constitution, which states, “the State
shall protect and promote the right to health of the people and instill
health consciousness among them,” put into place? Didn’t Maricar’s
teacher violate this state policy of our basic law which is the supreme
law of the land? </b><br />
<br />
<b>If Maricar had another type of illness other than mental
illness, would she have been given consideration by her law professor?
In her interview, Maricar said it was likely she would’ve been excused
due to sore eyes or high fever, similar to what happened to her other
schoolmates. If other illnesses are given consideration, why not a
mental disablity? </b><br />
<br />
<b>Professor Patricia Daway in the college of law tasked us to
write a supervised legal research and as a mental health advocate I
chose the topic on mentally disabled Filipinos. And this is what I
found. The mentally disabled are misunderstood. </b><br />
<br />
<b>Worldwide, major depression is set to become second only to
cardiovascular disease as the most diagnosed condition by year 2020. A
World Health Organization document on Mental Health and Development in
2010 reports that one of every four households worldwide have members
with mental health problems. Dr Lourdes Ladrido-Ignacio, a noted
psychiatrist, said between 17 to 20 percent of the country’s adult
population have psychiatric disorders. </b><br />
<br />
<b>Mental disability is often misunderstood since its symptoms
are only felt by the sufferer. Many relate mental disablity to the “sira
ulo,” and are not aware of other types of mental disorders such as
clinical depression, schizophrenia and bipolar among others. Such
persons are not insane per se but fall under term mental disability and
are considered Persons With Disabilities (PWD) protected by the Magna
Carta for Disabled Persons. While people with mental disabilities are
also PWDs who must be protected by the Magna Carta they are
discriminated against in various forms. </b><br />
<br />
<b>It is also important to note that there is no single mental
health legislation for those with mental disabilities. The Department of
Health (DOH) does have mental health policies, while the Magna Carta
for Disabled Persons (RA 9422), a Republic Act, is not specifically for
mental disabilities. The Magna Carta provides special rights and
privileges for the physically impaired — their mobility is enhanced
through sidewalks, railings, ramps and the like; the hearing impaired
are benefited with TV stations encouraged to provide a sign-language
inset or subtitles and telephone companies are encouraged to install
special telephone devices for them. However if we dissect the Magna
Carta no specific right or privilege is given to mentally disabled
persons but there is for the“mentally retarded” under the provisions in
Education. Mental retardation though is not synonymous to mental
disability. Mental retardation is only one of the kinds of mental
disabilities. In fact there are persons with mental disabilities with
superior intelligence which is the complete opposite of mentally
retarded persons. </b><br />
<br />
<b>The Magna Carta also grants PWDs at least 20% discount in all
basic services, such as the purchase of medicines and payment of
professional fees of dentists and doctors. It is a step in alleviating
the financial burden of the disabled, but it is not without any
disadvantages. To avail of the discount, a person with disability must
present an identification card with the term “Person With Disability” on
it. The mentally disabled who will present the I.D. may be identified
as “sira ulo,” since their symptoms are not apparent. It is best to make
use of other terms such as, “Persons With Special Discounts,” which
will not identify the patient to be mentally disabled. </b><br />
<br />
<b>In insurance coverage, the Philippine Health Insurance only
covers acute attacks of mental illnesses, subject to confinement. Dr.
Israel Francis Pargas of Philhealth whom I interviewed said, patients
confined with chronic physical illnesses such as leukemia, or in need of
dialysis for kidney failure, are covered by Philhealth. If chronic
physical illnesses are covered, why not cover chronic mental illnesses
as well? Medical research shows, early intervention and compliance to
treatment for mental disorders — which can be done through the support
of an insurance coverage – can result in lesser dosage of medication and
length of treatment. This, in turn, will decrease the need for
insurance benefits, which would be beneficial to PhilHealth. </b><br />
<br />
<b>It is unfortunate that Filipino psychiatrists are found to
have a passive role in mental health legislation. In a
survey-questionnaire I distributed during a conference of psychiatrists
in Dusit Hotel in 2011, 90 out of 95 doctors surveyed were not familiar
with the contents of the Magna Carta for Disabled Persons. This means
that they are also unaware of the 20% discount they must provide to
their patients as PWDs under the Act. Out of the 95
respondent-psychiatrists, 51 out of the 95 did not know that Philhealth
insurance for their patients exists. 90 out of 93 respondents also did
not know about the contents of the pending House Bill 6679, which pushes
for the establishment of a “Philippine Council for Mental Health”.
Filipino psychiatrists, as primary mental health providers, need to be
more involved in the crafting of health laws affecting their patients,
as they are supposed to be the prime movers of their patients’ rights. </b><br />
<br />
<b>The equal protection clause enshrined in our Philippine
Constitution mandates that our laws must be applied equally to all. If
special considerations are given to persons with high fever or sore eyes
in school, why not a student suffering from a mental disorder? If
people with physical impairment and hearing impairment are given
specific rights and privileges, why not also the mentally disabled? </b><br />
<br />
<b>Any act that favors only a few is discriminatory and unjust
not only to Maricar Estrella, but all mentally disabled Filipinos who
all cry for equal protection.</b><br />
<br />
— Still hoping to get my 2nd revision published though I like the one above<b> (</b>my third revision) better (fingers crossed).<b><br /></b></div>

This paper is a critique on the rights and privileges of mentally disabled Filipinos and their place in Philippine Health Laws. The aim of this paper is to provide suggestions and recommendations and make known to all and sundry that persons with mental disabilities, have become highly prevalent and that they are real. Considering the disease’s debilitating effects viz-a-vis other forms of illnesses, it must be given at least the same or even more, in terms of economic and insurance benefits under our health laws and aspects of education and labor. This research is also in consonance with the mission of the Philippine Psychiatric Association (PPA), among others, “to be committed to the welfare of its members and to the advancement of mental health care, education, advocacy and research in the Philippines and the global community.”Naomi Corpuzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08611089121169147473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145070525298003712.post-11970790339423163502013-01-22T11:12:00.002+08:002013-01-22T11:15:46.358+08:00Collection, closes Dulaang UP’S 37th Season<!--[if !mso]>

happens to a society that is overrun by greed and materialism? By shifting
moral values and by acquisitive desires? Floy Quintos' new dark comedy, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Collection</span></i>, paints a disturbing picture of a society
obsessed with conspicuous consumption, surface glamour and the endless,

this artistic vision of a materialist hell, a fictional government agency, the
National Commission on the Disposal of Philippine Patrimony, has sanctioned the
sale of historical and national treasures. The proceeds of which go to a
national lottery designed to alleviate poverty through dole outs. The
auctioneer, the dashing and handsome Carlo Vibal, has successfully auctioned
off many of these treasures.</span></span></div>

the controversial but wildly successful sale of the Banaue Rice Terraces, the
other characters of the play are introduced. Helena, the government official
who believes in giving dole outs to alleviate poverty; Tatiana, an
international jeweler who sees her acquisitiveness as a way of giving back to
society; Alphonse, a creative guru who sees history as nothing more than a
reference for fashion and movies; Manolo, a business magnate wanting to build a
systematic and effective society; Dr. Stephen Yan, a health and beauty magnate
searching for scientific evidence of the soul's existence; Last of all, there
is Gus, a young man who questions their motives and the legitimacy of their
goals and desires.</span></span></div>

discovery of a 16th century ivory image of the Virgin of the Lost Souls stirs the
acquisitive desires of the collectors. Each of them wants the Virgin for his
own, each of them have their justifications for wanting it, all of them are
willing to bid excessively to possess it. But the image is connected to the
story of a mystic, La Hermana Augusta Beata. The Hermana's own story juxtaposes
her faith and simplicity, against the excessive desires of the contemporary
characters.</span></span></div>

the end, the auction pits not only the wealthy bidders against each other, but
against the mass of Filipinos all wanting their share in the sale. But will it
push through? Will one buyer own the image? Or will the sands of shifting
morality cause the ground on which this fragmented society stands to crumble?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />18 men, 2 beds, 3 beanbags, handcuffs, rope, and a swivel chair.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
As his final output as a Creative Writing student, budding
young playwright <b>Riley Palanca</b> offers <b>“Delight/Delirium”</b>, a festival of
four one-act plays, under the supervision of multi-award-winning writer,
<b> Paolo Manalo</b>. It runs from August 31 to September 2 at the Teatro
Hermogenes Ylagan, Faculty Center, University of the Philippines,
Diliman.<br />
<br />
This festival of four one-act plays, under the
direction of<b> Arkel Mendoza, Chic San Augstin, J Victor Villareal, and
Katte Sabate</b>, looks into that triggering incident that shifts the
dichotomy from the pains of delight into the logic of delirium. This is
both a celebration and a lament of that psyche of an underground,
masculine, and queer subculture, with each play layering deeper and
deeper into the world of sex, drugs, rock ‘n’ roll, violence, rage,
angst, war, power, and memories.<br />
<br />
<b>BRO</b><br />
When
five high school boys stumble into one of their friend’s basement to
engage in their usual drug sessions, little did they know how it would
be the night that would change them. As they get more and more
inebriated, each boy zooms in on an incident in their group’s life,
breaking down the barriers between individual and group, ultimately
leading them to question why they became friends in the first place.<br />
<br />
<b>VIPER</b><br />
In
a post-apocalyptic Philippines where the Clergy has taken control of
the government and homosexuals are being massacred, Viper, a
high-ranking rebel soldier, attempts to resurrect his murdered lover by
kidnapping and interrogating an imperial priest about the whereabouts of
a specific body part — only to find out that its discovery comes at a
price of its own.<br />
<br />
<b>MAGKANO</b><br />
One night
that could have been typical for two people: the first throwing himself
into the world in search for himself; the second, willing to oblige —
for a price. Both callboy and client are trapped in an endless
negotiation about boundaries and fetishes. When the games begin, their
whole philosophies on love, sex, and relationships (the big three) might
get either reaffirmed or shattered beyond thought.<br />
<br />
<b>LITTLE BLACK BOOK</b><br />
Who
owns a memory? Who steals a memory? Is a memory a fragmentation of
truth or the weaving of a lie? What are these men, are they men, are
they characters, are they caricatures, or are they ultimately ideals?
One man questions his present by rooting through his past, clawing
through the shards that make him whole. A confession with no penance.<br />

your team if you were to change the world. She is tireless and fully
committed and deeply passionate; she steps up above and beyond the call
of duty simply because things need to be done and because she is in a
position to help. One of those who can not only lead a team but take one
for it as well.<br /> <br /> I know that this latest trial is not going to
be easy but I am confident that Jill will come through this, but not
without everyone's help. Just don't click "like" but "give" as well, and

Beautifully done. An amazing twist of the fairy tale. <br />
<br />
Curious
though, why it is, “Snow White and the Huntsman?” - when what was
central was the Wicked Queen (brilliantly portrayed by Charlize Terron)
and Snow White. All I saw in Hemsworth was his hair, face, combatic
skills and the kiss —- the big arms weren’t even there. Damn, I was
waiting for that last one.<br />
<br />
The title is misleading. It should have been “Snow White (& her armor) and the Wicked Queen.”</div>

<div id="article-text">
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Class of 2012, distinguished guests, family, and friends:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Nine months ago, the LL.M. Class of 2012,
277 strong, arrived from all over the world. We lived each day like we
were visitors, taking in our Columbia and New York experience with an
urgency brought about by the knowledge that our LL.M. year was
time-bound and fleeting. Each day confronted us with a “balancing of
interests”—Central Park or CIAL? SoHo or Securities? MoMA or M&A?
Bar Review or Bright Line Rules?—and our own multi-factor tests that
would have earned a concurrence from Justice Kennedy and a dissent from
Justice Scalia.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But we soon realized that New York isn’t
just a place you visit, it’s a place you inhabit, imbibe, and enjoy; and
our LL.M. year at Columbia was absolutely enhanced by the experience of
learning law and life here. Thank you, Dean Schizer, the faculty, and
staff of Columbia Law, for making our LL.M. year memorable; but special
thanks to Dean Sylvia Polo, Jill Marden Casal, Susanna Ketron, Stephanie
Lowd, and the staff of the GLS, for being patient with us and for
enduring our many, many, many complaints and questions with amazing
equanimity, great humor, and always good cheer.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As our LL.M. year flew by, we soon found ourselves speaking a common language—that of life-long friends<sup>1</sup> who had shared a life together, even if only for nine quick months. The breathtaking “diversity, ability, and commitment”<sup>2</sup>
of our class is matched only by our amazing unity. We showed that in
how we engaged and contributed to the school and our fellow students.
Whether it was responding to opportunities to help in fund drives for
earthquake and storm victims from halfway around the world;
participating in “Around the World” events to benefit Alex Blasczuk;
filling up Facebook walls with birthday greetings or congratulatory
messages for the many LL.M. babies;<sup>3</sup> competing in moot
courts; discussing a range of issues such as global hunger and its
causes or the legality of targeted killings from drone attacks; or even
to standing here, on this stage today—we carried each other. And in all
these times, we proudly carried one identity—<strong>Columbia LL.M. Class of 2012</strong>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As that story ends today, another begins.
As we leave Columbia as LL.M.s, we are confronted with the consequences
of that identity: What does an LL.M. degree mean “outside of a seminar
room”?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I don’t have a complete answer to that; I
suspect you also don’t. What I do know is this: A Columbia LL.M. degree
means nothing if receiving it is the end of it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In Professor Bobbitt’s Terror and Consent
class last fall, I realized that it is perfectly acceptable to not know
the answers—many of us didn’t—but it is absolutely inexcusable to not
ask questions. This spring, I marveled at Professor Monaghan’s curiosity
for “questions . . . discussed only in seminar rooms” and his passion
for dissecting old and new cases, and I realized that curiosity and
passion defy age and station, and that it is that curiosity and passion
that spell the difference between an LL.M. degree that simply hangs on a
wall and one that is lived out fully.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It is the curiosity and courage to ask
questions, and the passion and determination to find answers,that make
our degrees meaningful. The “asking” leads to “acting,” and it is in the
process of “asking and acting” that our LL.M.s take on flesh and
muscle, blood and bone.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But “flesh and muscle, blood and bone” mean nothing if there is no soul, no spirit.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The words etched across Kent Hall, the former site of the Law School—<em>Ius est Ars Boni et Aequi</em>
(“Law is the science of the good and the just”)—remind us that if
“asking and acting” are flesh and muscle, blood and bone, then “being
good and doing justice” are soul and spirit.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The challenge to us, as Columbia’s newest LL.M.s, is to continue <em>asking</em> and <em>acting</em>, <em>confronting</em> and <em>challenging</em>, <em>being good</em> and <em>being just</em>, <em>doing good </em>and <em>working justice</em> in whatever field we find ourselves. There is no other way to live out our identity as Columbia LL.M.s.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Allow me to end on a personal note by
thanking two of the best teachers I have ever had: My parents, Jess and
Juliet, who are here today. They taught me how it is to be good and to
be just through their example of a love freely given and a life well
lived. I am so proud to carry your name.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Congratulations, Class of 2012, and, as we say in the Philippines, <em>Mabuhay tayong laha</em>t! (“May we all live fully!”)</div>

care of babies; as he puts it, “double work, double happiness.”</div>
