Think about it
Ph, a ‘potential atomic bomb?’
By Jun Velasco
“Explore daily the will of God,” —C.G. Jung
FELLOW columnist Gonz Duque may have touched off a most sensitive chord in his column last week with his forecast of the new year (2014) as a potential political atomic bomb.
Sorry if we are starting on a wrong foot.
But how else shall we deal with an imminent reality but face and confront it?
We can’t tell exactly what form this perceived or predicted de-stabilization prognosis will assume, but this unsettling talk is persistent, anyone with weak moorings in our constitutional process might just as easily bite the bullet.
As if to add fire to the warning, well-known psychic Danny Atienza pinpoints a “radical event” in the political leadership engineered by disgruntled former and incumbent military officers.
We’re being asked not be surprised if more cabinet officials would be singing their swan song not later but soon.
Obviously, the tragedy gripping this country is that we have leaders who instead of leading us to the right paths, are actually selling us to the devil.
All in the name of that human frailty called greed.
Many of our countrymen are now in a quandary on how to chart the future because of the non-stop exposes of bungling by our national officials on the issue of wanton and unmitigated greed, graft and corruption.
Masiado nang nakakadismaya, they say.

We don’t stop suggesting the prayer option as the most appropriate “way out” of our gargantuan problems.
We say this in response to the seemingly insurmountable odds slamming our nation.
How will God answer our prayers? We don’t even know how to pray!
On this account, we lift from a book “March of the Unknown” authored by Rudolf Horst the following:
“Our motivation for prayer or good works might not always be as pure and selfless as they are supposed to be. In our spiritual life we can become quite profit –oriented at times, and we need a cleansing and reorientation of, and a search for, pure and more selfless motives.
This is not an easy task. It can take a long time and needs much efforts and humility. But do not mind the time it might take. What is important is that we have realized that something has to be done and that we are on the way to purifying our motives.”
The writer adds: “Wrong motivations in spiritual life should not discourage us, but alert us to search for a deeper meaning of our words and actions. What Rahab could do without knowing God’s love and Christ’s sacrifice of love on the Cross should be possible for each of us who know of Christ and his love for us.”

NOTES: Texan Leo Palaganas sent this text message. “Two groups ruled the 3 million Black Nazarene devotees that engulfed humanity last Thursday, the politicians or “debotes”…. A member of DCNHS Alumni Leo paid homage to healer Eddie Quinto. “he is much better than the Baylor doctors of Dallas.”
