A Family’s Metamorphosis
The Inner and Outer Struggle of AYLaniba Family
to Shift from Old to New Paradigm –
from Old Era to New Era
Introduction
My name is Arnulfo Yu Laniba, a husband of one beautiful woman and a father of five wonderful children. Yes, I wonder, why is it that love makes our own wife the most beautiful woman in the world, despite the contrary evidence? And why is it that our own children become the most wonderful of all children in the world, despite of all contrary evidence!
Well, to be serious, it is really true that the most beautiful and sweetest woman in the world is the one you love… and that, by default, este, meaning: your wife!
There is something inside that adds over 60% in the entire sum total of beauty. So that, even though there are women more outwardly beautiful, it is this hidden factor in the heart and soul that makes up for what our “misis” misses!
So that it is true that we love our “misis” (mistress of the house) more than anyone else. The exception to this rule is very rare.
To be really serious, guys. We, men, must now come to our full stature as true men, as God our Father purposed us to be.
What do I mean with that?
This writing will help you answer that.
Anyway, let me continue my self-introduction.
My nickname is Cocoy. And my internet username/ID is cocoy777.

THE TEXTS

COMPOST BINS
I like the contents of the organic gardening website you recently gave me.
Their compost bins or structure is very sturdy because they use concrete and cyclone wire. I hope to succeed in utilizing clay as a material to lessen our dependence on cement so we can make it cheaper.
Since we are using only a slob, (thin skin of the trunk of trees), this would not last very long, exposed daily to water, sun, etc. What I plan to do is to proceed cementing the sides of the square boxes.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
In their concrete-cyclone wire model for the compost pile, air can easily enter to help the microbes breathe and multiply fast, but the rest is closed enough to alone too much wind or air to cause drying up of the compost.
In the compost pit (hole) model taught in school, air is the problem. So, you need to put an exhaust pole with holes to serve as breather (heat out, cold air in); otherwise, not many microbes/decomposers can enter into the deep hole where you place the biodegradables.
Also, there is the need to shovel to invert the decaying mass also to help it to decay fast.
We will see what can be done better.
For the moment, may I stick with the concrete pen for the vermis? Looks like this:
The concrete division wide enough for your two feet. Measured distance: 3 feet wide. The length of the cubicle is not limited; it’s up to you.
The tiny holes are for the water to drain.
Not much air can enter except through the top part, not the sides.
I observe there is less air that can enter, so less microbes but ideal for the vermis to multiply, so long as it is not so wet and not so dry, just enough, and plenty of decaying or soft matter to eat, like fruits, fruit peels, decaying leaves, manure, etc.
I guess the compost pit design in the website is best for the micro-organisms but not for the vermis? But if the cyclone wires were only for the inside divisions, while concrete wall surrounds the whole structure, then, that is suited for the vermis also, one which the vermis cannot escape.
Perhaps, what we can adopt from the design is this: use cyclone wire for the inside divisions. Advantage: easy for the vermis to transfer to the next pile of food. Disadvantage: there is no solid place to put our foot on.
The wooden alternative
For making the compost pile, if we will opt for the use of lumber shown in the website, then, we need to have the 2-inch thick x 5 inch wide hard word lumber.
And it must be hard wood, I believe, to withstand decomposition and last long.
Hard woods like molave and mahogany aging 60 years old or longer are very rare nowadays.
There are a few of this kind which my uncle is selling because a foreigner (American) is going to buy his land, understandably the trees are up to my uncle, whether he will dispose them or give them to the buyer.
My uncle wants to sell the old trees, at P1,500.00 a tree. If I remember what he said, there are three molaves, one mahogany, one jackfruit (over 100 years), one sagimsim (also a hard wood).
These are of course best for use for the building, instead of for compost pile walls. As for me, I would not encourage to use hard wood for composting; these are too quality and too rare to be used for composting.
Since these are offered to whoever wants to buy, these end up to be cheaper than if we are the one looking for them and wanting to buy.
We will need wood/lumber when we will resume the building to completion. When, it is all up to you.

UPDATE ON ANIMAL HOUSES, SQUARE BOXES, NONG TOTING’S VISIT, ETC.
May I update you about the animal houses: There is still a small portion that need to be finished on the stone wall – the top where we will place the 2 x 3” wood to serve as skeleton for the upper wall. I ran out of money for the following undesired reasons;
• My younger sister asked for support fund to help them go home from the vacation. They run out of money. Actually, I did not give them any money when they left. My younger brother Junnie took charge of the fare of my three older kids (Ejing, Dea and Coycoy). My younger sister encountered the problem when Vida’s sister failed in her promise to pay my sister her debt (P5,000.00). My sister needed the money as additional fund for their trip. When Vida’s sister failed, my sister called for help. There was no solution but to save Vida’s sister and save my younger sister to enable my three kids to go as well. So, against my best will, we sent them P2,000.00.
• I thought we could quickly re-adjust the budget back home. But I had to hire three persons (P 620 for 1 ½ day) to clean the surroundings of the building to make it conducive for Nong Toting’s visit. At first, we planned to gather in the building, but in the actual, we decided to just gather at the foot in the open for the sake of the disabled who came.
It was afternoon meeting in Badbad.
• In the morning meeting in town with the disabled and sick, we spent P687 for the lunch.
• We gave a little transportation refund, and bought some snacks for the afternoon.
So, Franky, I found it difficult in the end to keep the budget, but I hope to make up by re-adjusting the next budget.
• Dokdok who constructs the square foot boxes also made use of our slobs, and after finishing 5 boxes, I am sad that our slobs for the upper wall of the animal houses are almost gone!
So, we need to look for additional slobs or else the bamboo.
For the moment Franky, Thierry, the goats and chicken can now be sheltered with the roof done, although the walls are not finished yet.
If we want to pour concrete in the inside side of the stone wall, to smoothen it and make it straight, then, we will need some 6 to 8 bags of cement more and a half cubic meter of sand. But we can leave it as is – rough.
The goats can take shelter now. Do not worry of the thieves. They are not so present in our area so far. Not at this point in time -- we have only 1 goat yet – yeah, only 1 survive the months of no house – through those very rainy and cold months, of living beside the concrete wall of the house! It’s a he goat. We will start all over again. Expenses again!
The chicken are doing a bit better. They are now ten. Two hens. And there are other three about to become hens. If we will not butcher or sell the female chickens, then, we can multiply them fast soon.
• We allocated a portion of the money for the filling up of the slope portion of the area for the vermi pens. Three persons at P 520 ( that is, P 200 + P`160 + P 160) x 2 days = P1,040.00.
These are where the budget for the lower/upper wall was diverted. When I saw the remaining money not enough for the materials and labor of the finishing of the wall, plus the dwindling number of slobs, I opted also make use of the remaining amount to do some excavation to fill up the slope sides for the vermi pens.
With your forgiveness about the delayed completion of the animal house, can you bear with me to nevertheless proceed to the vermi pen. I will not burden you anymore for what needs to be done for the animal house, save perhaps the cyclone fence, which can still wait, the animals being still very few. I will just go back myself (meaning, no more asking additional fund from you – I am now very ashamed and guilty for the recurring gaps in the handling of the budget!) and slowly complete the lacking part of the animal houses myself. One way is that I will spare to buy a bag of cement or two every month. And the rest will be the bamboos.
At least, we have now a shelter for the goats, chicken and even for the 3 adult dogs and 2 puppies. Hahay, the dogs who are all consume (forgive me for the punch) are fast multiplying than the more useful animals!? It’s the kids who adopt lost puppies, lost cats. Their compassion for the abandoned animals is the main reason why I bear with the dogs and cats. Of course, I like dog but not so many of them … not when we have little food to spare. Anyway, I must admit I also have some kindness to orphan animals, especially the young ones.
In this age where people are no longer fund of animals, at least in our place, probably due to the cost, stray animals are coming to us!
I am not planning to refuse, but how can we provide them all? Stray people, stray animals.
Franky, the rice comes again! But how can we buy the rice fields? Nikki’s Tubigon property has a portion as a rice field, but it’s P1 million per hectare. This is land titled and solely owned by his parents, so there is no difficulty involving ancestral property with many sibling owners.
On the other hand, we have the 3 hectares of my grandfather for only P600,000.00 or P200,000 per hectare, but we are not decided yet. And it involves many families to sign.

Dear Franky,
CAMCORDER
I connected the camcorder while I open the computer. The result: there is no more interface between computer and camcorder. First, the computer does not recognize the presence of the new hardware, the camcorder. There is no message that it has detected a new hardware being attached. Secondly, thus, I cannot anymore enter its memory via the Windows’ “My Computer.” So, we cannot work with the camcorder nor with its 16-GB memory through the computer anymore.
By the way, could it be that my error is in using the low-capacity computer? Could it affect?
Because in the Systems Requirements, it says:
• Windows Vista or XP. This is OK.
• Pentium 4 2.8GHz or higher (3GHz recommended), while my computer is only 633MHz.
• RAM must be at least 1GB while my computer is only 512MB;
• Video Card must be at least 64MB while I do not have it yet in the motherboard due to the absence of fitted slot into which I could have inserted it;
• Standard USB Port 1.1 port or higher. This I do not understand; all I know is that there are port 1 & port 2;
• At least 200MB hard disk space. This is OK.
With the computer, I did two things:
1) copied the three videos into the hard disk using the Windows’ “My Computer”
2) played the videos in the computer using Media Player (better in video compared to other players, not good in audio, but still the overall result is dragging where video is often left behind by the audio), Media Player Classic (not OK in audio, not in audio), Nero (OK in audio, no video appears), Quick Time, not good in audio and video. The overall performance for all players: audio and video do not synchronized, either one or the other is left behind or dragging. In one player, the video appears while the audio does not sound.
I did not play the video from the camcorder to the computer screen because I could not; the cable does not fit to the back of the computer. So, I only played the videos in two separate manners: first, in the camcorder with its memory, and not connected to the computer; then, after I copied the video files to the hard disk, I also played them in the computer using the hard disk files. There was no playing from the camcorder’s memory to the computer’s screen. Each play was separate and independent.
I was able to contact Ritchie, a neighbor professor in electronics teaching in Bohol Island State University, and who is good in repairing appliances. He will repair it. He mentioned P200 and not to exceed P500 for the repair charge.
He told me that a low battery condition of the appliance while using the below systems requirement would increase the possibility for the appliance, in this case, the camcorder, to be harmed. He used the term “forced” to do something it couldn’t.
Yes, it sounds like that, Franky, Thierry. I did not take care to realize that my computer may not be fully capable of doing it. To this, I am very sorry. I did not mean it, but without my intention, I am a kind of wasting precious money and also have done something that severely hinder us from carrying out our plan for many important goals, e.g., the girls’ goal to shoot videos for future use in creating MP4 videoK songs, Vida’s cake e-catalogue.
[back to Topic Contents]
CAKE eCATALOGUE
With regards to Vida’s cake e-catalogue, it should be urgently finished so we can do internet marketing, and in this way, expand our market size to neighboring towns without having the need to put up a branch in each town. This more centralized production or lesser number of branches is possible due to the advanced communication technology using the cellphone and computer-internet and thanks also to the faster and more number of transportation, we can send cakes without having to deliver personally. Some van-type passenger vehicles plying to and fro Jagna and Tagbilaran and also Tubigon are now accepting our cakes for half the fare of a person. We just usually let somebody wait or fetch it at the destination point, or else the van will pass by and bring your cakes away! We are still to find and agree with an internet café, our preferred drop point for the vans. The internet café in every town has many advantages: (1) besides serving as drop point for our delivery; (2) it will also help us in marketing –we will use their computers-internet to (a) show/advertise our cakes using their screen/wallpaper; (b) also for a free look at our cake e-catalogue; (c) we can also paste some cake pictures in the café’s wall or facade, etc. For these, the café will have a commission per cake/product, and perhaps an advertising fee per month per computer, whatever. We are yet to finalize the commission for mere drop by, and for customers who order via the internet café. We also are working for actual persons to do the marketing; we call them walking canvassers. They will go to houses especially of those who can afford, such as those of Overseas Filipinos Workers, Seamen/Mariners, these are the haves in our places. Each canvasser will hand the house owner a calling card which looks like this:
Vida’s Cakes & Pastries
Outlets:Tubigon-Loon-Tagbilaran-Jagna
For our catalogues, log in at:
www.VidaCakeCatalogue.com
For further Inquiries & Orders, contact:
Cecil (name of canvasser)
0910-1234-567 (Canvasser’s number)
Cakes for all occasions. Main features of our products: delicious, nutritious (whole flour, organic, zero chemicals)
No direct order be accepted by Vida, except for the existing ones who have been doing direct ordering to us. So, no contact number of Vida or me printed on the calling card. It is always through the internet café (an institutional canvasser) or via the personal canvasser. Main reason for this: so each customer will have a real person to take care of their needs and orders. Vida and me will not have time to ensure their orders and needs will be attended to. Each customer must have someone to take care. Secondly, we can in this way help our canvassers earn a steady income through the commissions.
We may receive direct orders but on a limited way – meaning: only as few as we can handle.
Franky, Thierry, lend me a hand or two.
• The camcorder is already with Ritchie; I handed it to him for repair; in less than a month it will be OK – prayerfully hoping, because we need it for the e-catalogue;
• The whole flour is prayerfully needed to be out and ready.
• Tagbilaran is expected to be the biggest market: we need to put up a production and drop by area, preferably: at the Dao Bus Terminal, for Jagna, Loon-Tubigon etc buses and vans. An outlet. To bake Tagbilaran orders. It will be like a little bigger than a cubicle but secure. No G.I. roof needed if it is inside the roof of the terminal as desired. But we can postpone this, letting 2012 pass by, the Father will us to survive through that year.

MAKING FLOUR MILL MEANINGFUL & FEASIBLE
This organic whole flour-bread-bakery project will not be a point for God’s Work unless we set the following objectives:
• Whole flour and if possible organic for the health of the people. This will be victory for God’s Way, if we can come up to this.
• The teachings our Lord teaches in the NR about business, charity shall be actively implemented;
• Part of the profit of the business shall be for the end-time Work, specifically: support for the translation, publishing, printing, dissemination of the NR;
• Actualization of the NR teaching via Works of Charity: “fish” for the disabled, “fishnet” for the able. From the saying: Give a man a fish and you’ll have fed him only and only for a day; but teach a man to fish and you’ll have fed him and his family as well and this for a lifetime; then, let that man teach other men how to fish, and you will have fed much of mankind and alleviated poverty, and heal much of mankind’s pain and hunger through love!
• Franky, Thierry, I count this a big point or act for our Camp if, through this, we can act out what we have been learning from the NR.
• Getting the kids involved in putting the Father’s NR teachings into practice in business;
• 2012 is coming and it is scaring me a little bit, but we can face it if we can act out of love. The bakery expansion, which is an implementation of long-brooded godly ideas is one of our offensive against sin and callousness. Feeding the poor people with harmful bread et al has been a long-time callousness that we have been a part of – in this Babylonian system.
• Franky, Thierry, we must gain. And for years, I did not have the freedom to give you profit share, due to the lack of sufficient gain.
• One gain we have (not monetary) is Vida’s heart opening to the Voice-Word of our Father.
• Vida has begun to see this sun-light.
• (Just to mention, a good news is about Sayas the limp, one-hand, 1-footed disabled person who is my close friend. Sayas has accepted volume 20 of the NRJC and he told me, this is something phenomenal. He is reading it and discovering many of the deep truths still withheld from the rest of mankind. Thanks to Manong Toting’s visit and lecture. We distributed a few copies of the NRJC books, to those interested.)
• In the bakery, Vida is the key person.
ROLAN IN ACCOUNTING INDUSTRY
• (In the accounting industry, Rolan is the key. But he is still captured by his wife and by the church! So, he is still serving the perverted 666. He is still doing dishonest services, namely: doctored accounting systems – blue financial reports for loan purposes; red financial reports for taxation purposes. If you present the company’s financial status as blue (gaining), then, you can easily borrow from the banks; if you present your company as red (losing), then, you can escape much taxes. I had told Rolan to work for the black-and-white accounting system using S/Ws like QuickBooks, and many others; it seems there is progress in this because businessmen, who are his clients, want to know the real financial condition of their business. But how far Rolan has accomplished in this honest aspect of the accounting field, that I have no more idea. But it is true that much of his big income from his accountancy, is from doing dishonesty – i.e., producing red and blue accounting. Much of Rolan’s big income is still dishonest. He is still supporting the Babylonian system, which is about to fall as prophesied in Revelation 18. Rolan’s effort to go black and white will help him save himself from the fall (Rev. 18:4) as well as help many of his clients. God help my beloved brother! He is still earning dishonest income by this blue-red accounting practice. He is still supporting these businessmen, few in comparison to the masses, whose businesses are controlling, suppressing, oppressing, bringing diseases and death, upon the people and the environment. He is still supporting the few who benefits this present Babylonian system of sucking the majority to fatten the few. He is still in the lukewarm state, that is, between the dark and light, happy to be in the middle, during working days serving Satan and during Sabbath serving God! He is still among those described in Revelation 3, Laodiceanic! Between mammon and God. Swinging between hot and cold. He thinks he is rich and does not need more than the much-mutilated Bible. He does not know that the Bible is now like a strong man without arms and feet, only head and torso. Disabled. Disable against the subtle ways of this world. Cannot fight against the so-deeply-subtle sins in today’s society. He does not know that the Bible has now become a very dulled two-edged sword, whose either edge can not cut the correct boundary between sin and righteousness. Rolan still does not know that Mr. Armstrong et al was very wrong to interpret Revelation 22:18-19 as “Bible is complete and closed for any additional revelation-dictation from God”. He does not see what is happening, namely: the head-torso man using a dull 2-edged sword swinging his weapon aimlessly against all sins, vices, crimes and ills spreading like wildfire no matter how intense his desire may be to put out this destructive wildfire. He does not know yet how helpless our battle against evil is and will be, if we use the Bible as our weapon; for he does not know that the Bible as a sword has long time been seized and obtained by the enemy to be used as instrument of mis-education, misleading, instead of giving light to blind mankind. This is very hard for Rolan to understand what I am saying here – hard until he will be able to see the light we are blessed with through the New Revelations. For unless he sees the sun (symbolizing the clarity of the light found in the New Revelations books), he will not come to know and realize that what he considers light is actually a dim moonlight where he is in.

THANKS AGAIN
• Franky, Thierry, thank you for feeding us. I cannot express enough my gratitude and debt to you. For where are we now without your help? Scattered, or even pining in hunger and desperation. But with your support, we are a happy, intact family and have time to feast on the Father’s New Revelations. With your help, we have a strong center point, to remain intact and from where we can start to where we are intending to go. Thank you my dearest brothers, from the bottom of our hearts. Every happiness we feel due to your help to us, be it a new brief for me, or a new umbrella for the girls, or reading glass for many (oh, yeah, the eyeglasses quickly disappeared! Swarm of people came to me, already at the market, and only about 5 reached Badbad; now they are gone. I was surprised by myself to only now know or comprehend that the reading glass is a kind of a little magnifying glass which enlarges the letters and so make them readable. This becomes clear to me as they exclaimed in happiness after they wear the glasses. I gave away all, including what was for me, because I can still read without it. And also, the one I found was not perfectly fit to my eyes. My eyes must be of lower grade than what you sent. So, for the people, there are still many who will receive if you can send some more; it’s like restoring their lost capacity to read! Also, the old folks ask for sweater (long sleeves) for cold night. The small flashlights also became a center of attraction – they also do gladly ask and will gladly receive if you can send some more of the flashlights.
• As if in a flash, I suddenly have many briefs, mostly new. Before these, I almost have no brief, only three which were worn out and very loose. Thank you very much for both the old and the new briefs! I am a man now, no longer a G-string-wearing forest monkey!
So, we have many things to discuss. But first, let us focus on spiritual AND economic productivity and profitability. I have to graduate from being a beggar.
I need to implement many of the business as well as charity dreams, plans and ideas I have long brooded and wanted to implement.
But of course, the Father’s will be done. I may sing again and again the same song, but if it is not His will, then, it is alright. But I feel happy to just share, even if there is no fulfillment in this time.

Carol Jane and Andrea will take charge of the Dao Bus Terminal – Tagbilaran Outlet. The Father willing: before, on or after 2012, according to His timing. No, I do not know the magnitude of the destruction of the severe economic-physical-and-spiritual earthquake coming.
***
So, I am hopping from one idea to another, depending on what automatically crops up my mind and heart.
MORE ON BAKERY
Franky, Thierry,
I reviewed yesterday and copied their new webpages from www.restel.com.au
I suspect 90-year-old-plus Mr. Ke vin Ro gers is deed, I mean, dead. The CEO now is a Mrs. Ret sel.
Mr. Kevin Rogers indicated to me he owned the company. But I don’t understand why it’s named Ret sel.
And who is this Mrs Ret sel?
Anyway, what give me joy is their adoption of my suggestion to reach out to the world and make their customers their extended marketers. It was when they had no overseas customers, yet, I guess. But now, they are going international. I even expressed my desire to become his first marketer/dealer in the Philippines.
They have now a new web page offering discount/dealership or sort of that to their customers worldwide. Nice. I am happy that my idea or part of it, has helped them. I really wanted their home-based mill to replace the big flour mills all over the world. I even campaigned that in the internet.
But I was not wise as you. I should have, like what you do, bro ken the key words like fl our mi ll or ret sel or hy-phenated them to avoid detection in their internet watch (spying).
Their whole dead, lifeless flo ur in dus try was at stake by the ret sel tech no lo gy.
So, what did they do? Or according to my suspicion, I make up this story from the pieces of what happened to us:
They told in the in ter net that ret sel was ha ving a hard time co ping up with their sales orders.
True or false, doesn’t matter, but when they directed us to buy from them and I guess that is what we did: it is from them that we bought the fl our mill, right?
They gave us a fl our mi ll that does not pro duce fl our!!??
Is this what they are doing to other customers via internet?
Hopefully not. Hopefully I am wrong too with my suspicion.
But of course I am not wrong in my belief that by hook or by crook they would not allow their own wh it e fl our in dus try to follow the way of the dinosaurs!
But what can they do? The tech no lo gy from the camp of the Light is fast advancing. Ret sel, for one, is restoring back the olden time when people mi ll their fl our in their own homes. They’ve just mechanized it. And Ret sel is reaching out to the whole world!
I have copied much of the webpages of www.retsel.com.au
Franky, they seem to have increased the price. We are now faced with greater difficulty about acquiring the right fl our mi ll.

HOW WE CAN BUY THE FLOUR MILL
What is possible, Franky, is no more monthly financial support as soon as possible. It’s how to do this.
We will concentrate to finally acquire the flour mill from www.retsel.com.au in order to make me profitable overnight. Consider it as a one-time help Franky, equivalent to what you will send us from June to September or to December, depending on the cost of the retsel flour mill.
As soon as the right mill arrives, we can now declare able to provide for our own needs, and stop accepting monthly help.
So, what I mean, my dear forbearing brother of mine, please advance to us what you will send us from June to December by buying for us the retsel flour mill.
I am going to send a letter to Mrs Retsel now, copy furnished to you. That is so that you stop now the burden on your part of spending for our needs and to make me soon able to help in the financing of the projects, whatever it is.
CONTROL OF THE BUSINESS
As to the control of the business, as we move away from Jagna, and as we are the ones spending for the expansion and other purchases, it means to say that we are automatically limiting Hilda’s say or control, except of course in Jagna where she will have her share.
But as long as we do not have better idea and strategies, such as the flour mill, then, the bakery is going to remain in the Babylonian white flour, and it’s going to continue on the cursed path, with less profit and continual debts.
I will move like lightning in managing back the bakery and implementing the ideas and plans as soon as we have the flour mill which will make whole flour possible. Perhaps we will need a one-time amount to purchase unmilled rice direct from the farmers. We will re-dedicate the business for the Father’s Work, taking only what we need for sustenance and expansion.
It was already my plan from the beginning, but it has proven very difficult to achieve under the present system and conditions.
It’s true Franky, Thierry, I will need to give my time for the rice purchasing and flour milling. That can be arranged.
Are satisfied with us, consuming?
Hopefully soon, as soon as we can have the vermi pens expanded, we can produce more vermi cast/ organic fertilizer fast and it means more soil for a bigger garden.
That, too, is expected.
All things considered, if you ask me what is the one most urgent now, well, it’s the vermi pens.
THE VALUE OF THE FLOUR MILL
But if you want me to become profitable soon, I still believe it is through the right flour mill to support our already existing bakery.
Without the flour mill, to produce whole/organic flour, I do not want to expand marketing via the internet and via persons/canvassers. Even to help selling the bread, I do not want to do. There is no meaning in this business of baking and selling life-less bread.
If not for the fact that Vida derives some income in this, I would prefer to let it be stopped. But I prefer the alternative of reinventing the bakery business, i.e., of turning it organic and whole… no matter how difficult.
I can assure you of fast cakes and bread sales as soon as we can assure the people of organic and whole flour!
That is the major motivation that I want to possess. Without it, I am like dead regarding the bakery business. I have no motivation except that which we can convey our true love for our fellowmen. And in the bakery business, what is that conduit of true brotherly love? Is it not the organic, whole flour/bread/cakes?
Organic whole bread and cakes carry true love for the fellowmen as it carries the nutrients that can give healing and health to the people.
With the refined, while flour, I am more guilt than happiness.
Franky, if we want assurance of finally buying the right flour mill, I suggest we pay for Hilda’s travel to Dandenong, Victoria, or let her buy it and have it delivered to her, while she can test it, whether or not it’s real flour. Then, she will be the one to send to us or take it with her if she will go vacation to the Philippines, whichever is first.
If the flour mill is right, then, I can very soon let you stop your monthly help and be your helper in funding for God’s Work.
Will you not be happy of it?

3 MAJOR REFORMS-DEVELOPMENTS IN EDUCATION
1) SOFTWARE: PACKING PRECIOUS KNOWLEDGE SUCH AS “THE NEW REVELATIONS” INTO DIGITAL FORM AND MAKING THEM AVAILABLE ONLINE. Universal access for the masses of online WIKIPEDIA and similar encyclopedia and AGASOPEDIA via internet, to the cell phones and/or computers and e-readers all over the land;
2) Paper textbooks converted into Home Reference Books or Library as one strategy of intelligenting the whole families, not just the pudents (pupils and students);
3) HARDWARE: The evolution of cellular phones and computers into wireless eReaders that (a) download and contain ebooks/ texkbooks; (b) allow pudents to annonate/ place comments; (This applies for human-authored books/textbooks, not to God’s Revelations books); and (c) allow owners to send these ebooks as easily as sending simple text to unlimited recipients!
***
By the way, Franky, Thierry, the charge of Smart’s Broadband internet rate (wireless connection) such as the one I am using (or have stopped using for awhile due to the still low insufficient signal in Badbad) has gone down from P20.00 per 30 minutes to only P50.00 per day!
That is, from P 960 a day (48 half hours x P20 per half hour) to only P50 a day. What is nice is it is pre-paid, meaning: only pay P50 for a day if you buy a load of P50 for a day. You are not forced to pay P50 a day for the whole month if you had only bought good for two days. It is not a monthly basis, but on a day basis. You want to buy a load for only one day this month? So, you only pay P50. You have used 5 days internet, so you had only paid P250.00 (P50 x 5). And so on and so forth. More fair to the customer, in fact, more than fair! – it is very generous compared to the P15 per hour internet charge in the internet café or to its previous P20 per half-hour -- and this per day load system is more controllable too.
THE SOFTWARE: MAKING THE “WHOLESALE” NR INTO “RETAIL” NR
While the wireless communication hardware of the internet is becoming more favorable, what I wish to accomplish is the software, namely: NR.
Retail Method 1: Per Topic like the Encyclopedia, Concordance & Dictionary
I wish to come up with an NR concordance-style sets of files or articles, or something like that of a Concordance, Dictionary or Encyclopedia. The best example of online Encyclopedia is the Wikipedia, where each article is per topic, while the length is from a few sentence to long articles, no limit.
So, I desire to break the super-voluminous NR into topics or more safely into sections -- topical sections, taking nothing, not even a punctuation from the narration
Purpose of this project: To present the NR by topic and then in the end of the topic article, we point to the reader the NR book (Note: This is similar to a small business growing from “retail” to “wholesale”) and the website as the main source, for their further probe as well as more intensive multi-topical readings – the one we have been doing.
Method No. 2: Core thought method
There is another way of doing it, I mean another way of making it a little bit easier for the average reader and researcher who is not used to what we do, intensive readings and research. This way is by picking only the core thought or the key principle which is the center of a long discussion in the NR. To help us pick these core thoughts, we can make use of the blue condensed version of the GGJ done by Violet Ozols, although we need to supplement it with our own effort. But Ozol’s work is already very useful in this task of finding the core thought of a section or topic.
So the steps will be:
• First step, of course is the SUBJECT OR TOPIC TITLE
• Second step: Core thought or principle stated
• Third step: the whole range of the discussion of the topic including the whole circumstances surrounding or invoking the principle, which may be an actual experience, actual case or actual problem of certain people the Lord visited such as those poor family in Emmaus or the prostitute-beggar also in Emmaus, etc.
• Fourth step: the whole book.
Method No. 3: Current Topic Magazine
To further condescend into the world, we can copy the method of the WCG magazine The Plain Truth, namely: pick a current topic, or event, discuss it as much as we want but ending with a quotation from the NR, usually a principle. This means to say that we are using the NR instead of the Bible as the final or arbiter-authority.
Then, as usual, we point to the reader of the article to the NR sources, from step one to the final 4th step.
I do not know if this is more effective than the way they are naturally/originally arranged by our Lord in the NRJC/GGJ, that is, chronologically or by sequence of his itinerary during His 3-year ministry.
Method No. 4: Translate into languages and dialects
For I have an inkling that He planned His itinerary, which place to go first and next, which people to see first and which next, which topic to discuss first and which next, etc., etc., and not by random.
So, the NRJC/GGJ must be perfectly arranged by topic – more than we realize it.
And it must have been arranged with the end-reader in mind. Meaning: it is best for each and every reader – without exception – to take time to read the NRJC/GGJ not be topic but by page sequence from page 1 to the last!
If so, the next best thing to do, I realize, is to TRANSLATE THE BOOKS INTO THE LANGUAGES AND DIALECTS OF THE PEOPLES AND NATIONS SO THEY CAN HAVE A “FEAST” OF THE LORD’S SPIRITUAL FOOD, ACCORDING TO THE MENU SCHEDULE THAT THE LORD HIMSELF HAD PREPARED, where there is no possibility of being bored that only happens for lack of variety.
If so, then, the other projects I have in mind (e.g., topical/encyclopedic presentation) may prove to be of little consequence or none at all, or if there is any value to it, or usefulness to the whole work, then, it must be little only.
But since I have nothing else to do, or since I cannot do any other thing within my little capacity, I consider it a joyful thing to consider doing it as my little contribution to the huge Work of our Lord.
In addition to that, due to the promptings of my kids, I am giving more consideration to the idea or their suggestion to translate the NR into Tagalog-Cebuano.
What a Herculean task!!!!!!!!!
To translate is easy to me, because of the fact that Cebuano is my native tongue and English is my second language, even more than Tagalog. Also I can do tagalog translation easily but in some cases I will need a Tagalog dictionary.
PROBLEM WITH CONVENTIONAL METHOD OF CIRCULATION/DISTRIBUTION
But then I foresee a great need for money to print the books and distribute it freely to the masses!
Or the need for cellular phones to evolve into ebook-reader type of gadget to house all the NR ebooks. Each youth and mature person to possess an ebook reader-cellular phone.
What a nice phenomenon: ebook reader containing the NR and having the capacity to send it to countless of persons as easy as sending a text message today!
Beautiful beyond words!
May that come!
And may the day come when such gadget will also attain a high level of stability, endurability that cannot be destroyed easily but can be trusted even during storms or crash and remain functional. If possible, to be solar-powered. Wireless and solar-powered.
As independent and as intractable/ uncontrollable by the government or anyone.
…so the free flow of ideas will go unhindered.
No censure.
The AGASOPEDIA
I plan to call my exhaustive NR concordance as AGAPEDIA (Encyclopedia of Agape) or AGASOPEDIA (Agape & Sophia Encyclopedia). Like Wikipedia, it will be free available for all, no charge. The difference: not anyone can contribute a content. The content has to be well-screened. We prepare each entry. Outsiders may suggest to us new books to be concordancized but we will do the concordancizing to ensure strict compliance to what Paul said, “Prove all things, keep the right, reject the wrong.”
Maybe I am just in the wish-level. May not be able to accomplish it, due to lack of capability.
We need God as the Holy Spirit to guide us in this difficult task, if it be His will.

Yesterday, Efren visited me and we were discussing about the sorry state of the elementary and highschool textbooks in the Philippines.
I have already begun lamenting, even telling this to the provincial schools superintendent, the sorry fate of our children’s textbooks every year.
You see, the textbook is printed on very low quality paper. And that for a purpose – evil purpose, to wit: to make sure that the book gets damaged easily, e.g., at the end of the year!!??
Added to that: the school children are given home works which requires the use of these same textbooks, so they are forced to bring the books from the school to the home for the night’s task of doing homework and then back to the school again tomorrow morning.
This daily carrying of the low-quality textbooks always resulted to damaged textbooks, in some cases, not even reaching the end of the current school year (March)!
What then would happen at the end of the school year?
What is the fate – the sad fate of these textbooks?
It goes to the recycling bin! That is, either to the home’s trash can (some of them do) or hearth (some pages do) or the large part of the dilapidated textbook went to the school gehena fire (large heap of fire to burn textbooks in the schools’ ground) or back to the national warehouse, I do not know what would be done with them there – the papers to be recycled?!
Whatever that specific fate that maybe, one thing is sure: THE FATE IS DESTRUCTION! And the next thing the publisher and the government do together is AGAIN spend government funds AGAIN (people’s money AGAIN) to the tune of over 3 billions pesos a year AGAIN to print new textbooks AGAIN to be distributed to around 10 millions of school children AGAIN!
That’s tax burden to the people AGAIN, but financial gain to the national and DepEd officials AGAIN!
If the fast destruction of textbooks can be halted, the money saved, this P3B can be used to build an additional 6,000 classroom per year – which will immediately solve the perennial problem of the lack of classrooms which problem has been since time immemorial.
The textbooks publishers have been super-happy with the present situation where children carry home their low-quality textbooks and thereby speed up the destruction of these books….making it on a yearly basis! The next people who are happy are the top provincial and national DepEd (Department of Education) officials who got fat commissions from the book sale.
During our DepEd-sponsored seminar at Bohol Plaza, I had started giving the solution to this textbook anomaly.
I told the current Bohol-province DepEd supervisor who has a long record of excellent service as Cebu and Mandaue DepEd superintendent in the past, thus:
“Ma’am Rances,
“I would like to propose a solution to stop this financial bleeding in the textbook scam. That solution is:
“Step 1: Print two qualities of the same textbooks, namely; 1) the hard bound which is to be left in the classroom, and 2) the softbound which is to be given to the pupil and be left at home for his homework.
“In this manner, the carrying of textbooks from the school to the house and vice versa will be totally stopped and so, the pre-mature and fast destruction of the textbooks will be totally stopped. Since according to government estimate, the textbooks have to be updated every 5 years, therefore, there will roughly be some P15 billions that can be saved from the National coffer, and if these P15B be used to build classrooms, there will be almost instantly, that is, just within 5 years, 30,000 classrooms!
“Stopping this leak is therefore very wise; for we save books and by that savings we can build classrooms! Every body will sing: parents, students, the honest teachers; the only ones that will cry are the pockets of the book publishers and some DepEd officials who are participants to the inferior books anomaly.
“And know what? There are other incalculable benefits that this act of redirecting the fate of our textbooks from trashcan-hearth-recycling bin to the home.
“Let’s take some more further wise steps to improve the system.
“Step Two: Let all families who receive the softbound textbooks gain ownership of these books. It is their tax money anyway. So, let them have the books, before they will demand to own it [that is, get back the tax money back in the form of book].
“Step Three: The textbooks’ newfound destination is the HOME REFERENCE LIBRARY.
In every home. It is to be called Reference Library because these textbooks shall be turned from being mere textbooks (which would be taken back by the school after the school year under the present practice) into a home-permanent REFERENCE books where parents and children can use it as reference or memory refreshers!
Every expert lawyer or accountant or engineer or any expert will admit that TEXTBOOK IS LESS EFFECTIVE THAN REFERENCE BOOK – yeah, even if we are talking about the same book! What is the difference? The difference lies in the user and usefulness. If a book is used as a textbook, it is usually carried by the teacher; but if it is used as a reference book, it is owned by the student! That’s the first difference. Now, in which situation can the students learn more: textbook or reference book?
Even professionals who proceed to practice their profession will tell you that using a textbook as your daily reference will make you brighter than seeing that same book only in the hands of the teacher as his textbook!
The student needs to own a copy to become his reference, during his study of the subject and then long after the study.
Under the current Philippines setting, a textbook is often returned to Department of Education (DepEd) after the school year, while a reference book is a constant companion to the professional or to the student to which he can refer to it whenever he needs something to be refreshed in his mind or to learn more deeply about something.
So, we are talking about the same books, but we are talking of turning these books from being transient textbooks into permanent reference books for parents and children.
It spells the big difference between expertise and mediocre educated person. An expert is one who becomes master because he has converted his textbooks into references (ask the accountants, the engineers; they will confirm this), while the mediocre educated person is one who has lost, or returned his textbooks to the school principal and has no more (copy of the) books to review from time to time or turn to on a day to day basis.
If this country will and can turn all its textbooks into reference books, then, this will become the wisest nation overnight!
Because not only will children refer to the books, but also the parents any time of the day. At present situation, the parents cannot study the books any time of the day because by 7 a.m. the children have to take them back to the school, and when these are brought back in the evening, the parents cannot use them because the children need them to answer their assignment. There is no opportunity where and when the parents can read the books any time of the day, whenever they find vacant time.
.With the presence of the soft-bound textbooks throughout the day and with the build-up of the EVERY HOME REFERENCE LIBRARY, we will see a pole vault or a leapfrog of the education of the parents and then of the children!
For in my examination of the present textbooks of the present school children, I discover the following facts:
1) To their credit and worthy to be praised, our book authors and publishers have place advanced knowledge in these textbooks which can leapfrog the knowledge of the children; (of course, there are a few errors in those books, but these can be corrected and these should not be allowed to overshadow the good thing that they have done, namely: generally the quality of contents are way, way far more advanced than where we were decades ago in our time as students, I admit, though these textbooks may be behind than those of the more industrially and scientifically advanced countries! Despite that, our books are good-enough tools for advancement; I appreciate.
2) Unfortunately, if the present system is continued, only the children will advance, and the parents will continue to be left behind and cannot serve as co-tutors to their children. For the parents have no chance of knowing what’s inside the books except during the time when they assist their children in their homeworks, but this is not so effective because this is done extemporaneously, with no time and chance to prepare or read in advance, during the parents’ spare time in the day, because the books are always in the hands or bags of the children!
3) The parents will get behind or left behind; only the children will advance or know better.
4) Result: application of these knowledge on a personal and home-level basis, will be very difficulty for the children because only them, and not their parents, know it!
This proves the importance of INCLUDING THE PARENTS IN THE EDUCATION PROGRAM OF DEP-ED! And there is no need for additional teachers or additional rooms or facilities – JUST LEAVE THE BOOKS AT HOME! This will make parents into co-teachers!
Of course, the parents can be helped or encouraged by the school principal or the PTA, to read more often than they have been reading. And above all, the PTA can encourage or even help the parents apply what are found in the books that may need to be applied for the good of the family. Parents-Teachers Associations (PTAs) may assist encouraging parents learn faster than their children so that the application or execution can be hastened.
Again, we know there are errors in contents, and not just in grammars, found in our present array of textbooks, as have been pointed out be other concerned individuals and consultants. But these can be corrected more quickly if the parents and others who are in the community were given the chance to read and study the books at home…and above all, to put these knowledge into test by practice; what fails means questionable; what works means correct knowledge. So, in this way, we can purge our knowledge off its dross and impurities and come up with the pure one, like gold and diamond, not mixed with harmful adulterations.
The updates may be done every 2 to 3 years to accommodate fast new discoveries and findings and thes will be in the form of Annual Supplements and Updates; while on the other hand, the textbooks will have to be upgraded/updated every 5 years to integrate the updates, hence, new edition of the textbooks will have to be printed. Or if the DepEd and the National Government are truly wise, they will just let the publishers/authors proceed to print the updates only, while parents and teachers continue using the current copies of the textbooks. That too is another billions of pesos saved, since only the updates will be printed as addendum to the existing books.

HIDDEN REASON WHY THEY ARE IN A HURRY TO HIDE THE TEXTBOOKS FROM PARENTS WHO BEGIN TO EXAMINE
What I am going to narrate may begin with a positive note but end in negative tune, that is, to the perspective of the DepEd and book publishers.
For years now, I have been hearing and reading some samples of such errors printed in the national newspapers discovered by Mr. Galipjo Go.
Many of the errors are grammatical and some are errors in fact, content or substance. To me, error in content is more dangerous than error in grammar or spelling. Yes, I heard Mr Go said that there are facts-errors but I did not still grasp the danger.
Only lately.
I had to ask my three elementary sons (Grade II, Grade V & Grade VI) to help me borrow the Science books from Grades I to VI. Why? So I can follow the series of chapters distributed in these books regarding the 8 systems of the body, such as the digestive system, circulatory system, etc. I need to collect these information to make my research on health complete. Actually, I am planning to write a book on Body Systems which is not freely available on the internet. A sort of guide manual for health researchers.
I have been copying those books and typing them into my computer. These sources and other sources will be reviewed or synthesized until I will be able to come up with as most complete as possible version of the topic.
So, I will need encyclopedia. I will still have to extend my research to Wikipedia and other encyclopedia, online and manual.
Unfortunately or fortunately, the books I had borrowed from my sons’ school had extended beyond Christmas vacation, and it now seems to me that my Grade VI son’s teacher must have been beginning to wonder or is she suspecting that I am doing something with the book – e.g., investigating the contents of the book – than merely copying the information on Circulatory and Nervous systems?!
When my son told me that his teacher was now angry why I had extended too long my borrowing period, it began to down on me: They do not give us time to read the books except on occasional homework and now she is fretting to have the book returned (of course, there must be honest reason such as it is already needed; I have extended 3 days beyond January 3, the last day of vacation), but I couldn’t help but to begin to ask: IS THERE REALLY TRUTH TO WHAT MR. GO HAS BEEN TELLING ALL PARENTS WHO ARE IGNORING HIM – IS THERE REALLY SOME CONTENTS THAT DEP-ED OFFICIALS, THE PUBLISHERS AS WELL AS TEACHERS DO NOT FEEL LIKING IF WE PARENTS WILL BE ABLE TO DISCOVER THEM?
The feeling was strong enough that I made a quick investigation on the book I still had in my hand before handing it to my son. That short time, I found enough proofs – errors – that should make parents to be worried and start getting more closely involved, namely: check the veracity of what the teachers are feeding the minds of our children!
I did not intend to be critical to Dep-Ed, but circumstances led me to give some sufficient weight to what Mr. Go has been telling – read: warning - parents all these years. There are substantial or contents errors that should concern us, besides the grammatical errors in those books.
In the few minutes that I spent in checking the book that had been with me for many days, I found out that:
1) parents and children are told to take booster shots as one of the tips how to get and stay healthy;
2) parents and children are told that chemotherapy is important method to extend the life of cancer patients.
O my friends! Don’t they know that chemotherapy does not heal – cannot heal the cancer patient and the doctors know that – and so it is actually the act of extorting the money of the patient and his family before he dies? Don’t they know that chemotherapy does not and never did heal the cancer patients in the past? So what is the value of a few months of life extension when it is sure that the patient will die? And during such short extension, the pharmaceutical and medical industry swallowed whatever financial resources and properties the patient and his family has, before he dies! Through the “scare-fear-threat” tactic, the doctors and the pharmaceuticals are most successfully able to get the money from the hands of those who have worked and saved it for a lifetime! In just few months, that hard-earned money changed hands! O, how pitiful are the patients – how pitiful are the people. They do not know that the doctors and the big pharma are laughing out loud!
Evil brood! Big pharmas and doctors get rich-quick by thus robbing the dying! I pronounce a curse to these evil men – to teach them a lesson they cannot forget! Let the money they’ve stolen from the helpless patients and poor families kanker them! Let those money breed worms that eat up their bodies. But let their soul learn from the lesson and be saved!
Giving false hopes! Fake hopes! Hope that does not last!
Booster shots or chemical vitamins supplements do not lead to long-term health. Book authors should avoid saying such things that promote the products of evil multi-nationals whose products are continuingly causing the degeneration and destruction of the bodies and minds of our children and people.
They should encourage natural foods, without chemicals before, during and after harvest.
***
I now feel that more frightening errors will be discovered if I/we spend longer time to examine the contents of those books our children are being taught with.
One most dangerous error is the entry of atheism and communism via the theory of evolution which schools are stupidly teaching the children! I am afraid that the apostle Paul’s stern warning regarding the doing away of God in textbooks and today’s educational system has already happened without our being aware and alarmed!
We must take a closer look!
So, we just have mentioned the books’ promotion of wrong medical treatments that impoverish the people and the dangerous prospect of leading our children away from God.
***
So, these partial information should wake parents up and begin to be vigilant in all areas of concern. For as Jesus said, The owner who is watchful will not allow his house from being arsoned or robbed. But the one who is not vigilant, he is the one the robbers can overpower, bind, rob and even kill!
***
So, there is an important task of not only preventing the books from passing the parents too fast into the recycling bin, giving parents no time to get to know these books, but also of checking the contents of these books.
In fairness, there are quality parts of the contents, to the credit of the publishers and their book authors. But because to err is human, (yes, to forgive is divine and so we will forgive but of course, forgiving does not mean allowing errors to thrive), it makes it necessary however that book makers allow parents or many heads to check the quality and veracity of the contents!
***
Then, as the books reached perfection, may the ebook reader in the form of small advanced cellular phone both (1) allows the ebooks to be saved in its memory; and (2) also to be sent to others in as easy manner as sending a simple text message!
And so, knowledge will spread. And mankind will be lifted up from ignorance and falsehoods to true learning and truths!
Paper books may diminish, while schools and parents proceed to ebook readers. So be it.
In summary, here are the three major reforms and developments I’d like to see happen in the Philippines and all over the world for the sake of the individual self as well as overall progress of the entire humanity.
3 MAJOR REFORMS-DEVELOPMENTS OF EDUCATION
1) Universal access for the masses of online WIKIPEDIA and similar encyclopedia and AGASOPEDIA via internet, to the cell phones and/or computers and e-readers all over the land;
2) Paper textbooks converted into Home Reference Books/Library as one strategy of intelligenting the whole families, not just the pudents (pupils and students);
3) The evolution of cellular phones and computers into wireless eReaders that (a) download and contain ebooks/ texkbooks; (b) allow pudents to annonate/ place comments; (This applies for human-authored books/textbooks, not to God’s Revelations books); and (c) allow owners to send these ebooks as easily as sending simple text to unlimited recipients!
Godbless.

THE LOWER LOT OF THE HILL: THE SAD FATE OF THOSE WHO TAKE THE PATH OF FORMAL EDUCATION
The hill’s lower lot. I am giving the idea to them that since their next big problem is how to support the college education of their eldest son by 2013, they may as well consider getting paid on a per semester basis, to use the money for Ken-Ken’s study. Sounds like a land-for-education program or a land-education-swap. So, Franky, Thierry, we can afford to make it P50,000.00? The expenses per college semester can be easily P15,000.00 and if Ken-Ken, a bright nephew of mine, can take a 2-year course, e.g., computer, so he will spend only P60,000.00. Alex, his father and my cousin, is only a farmer. Ken-Ken is their hope.
But as we know, unless Ken-Ken gets expertise, which is not found in college courses, he will end up an employee, having difficulty of feeding even himself, much less his parents, the hope of his parents will be frustrated, as what has been experienced already by countless of parents, but I wonder: they don’t realize it and they still trust college education is the answer!
One reason for this is: there is no other alternative.
INVENTING THE BETTER ALTERNATIVE
Now, I am inventing the alternative: HANDS-ON SHORT COURSES THAT GUARANTEE EXPERTISE AND BIG, GROWING UNLIMITED INCOME because it is based on one’s talents and because you will use it according to Divine Love, the far greater motivator than self-love. Another latest discovery or coming to greater light about this out-of-formal-school hands-on education comes from the following communication I had with Vida through the cell phone yesterday, to wit:
Vida: Nong, have you already registered Coycoy to the PAFI scholarship?
[Note: PAFI is free high school for those classified as indigent. We are last in the list, if ever accepted to be qualified. There are still so many others poorer than us. So, I have less hope for Coycoy to qualify for PAFI. Not to mention my preferred option: not to let Coycoy study formal high school, but through internet-aided actual practice of his talents and through specialized tutorials by expert artists, musicians, and electronic technicians and immediately apprenticeship.]
Me: Bee, I’m finalizing my own curriculum for Coycoy. Forget about formal schooling, especially in this age of the computer and internet. There are plenty of courses online (in the internet) many of them are excellent and free. For Coycoy’s art and painting, for example, there are many courses and ebook instruction manuals how to paint well; there are unlimited paintings too by which he can take a look and learn. Just type at Yahoo, Google, etc., for example, “The Most Beautiful Paintings or Scenes in Nature” and you will be taken to thousands of wonderful paintings that can make you become enraptured in bliss and appreciation.
There are also international associations of artists/painters into which Coycoy can become a member.
This is going to be an international school, though loss and without tuition (free). His “classmates” are of different ages, young and old’ they are the excellent artists of different strokes and styles from which he can learn. The best artists/painters in every country have probably placed their paintings on the web; this is going to be a great exhibit from which Coycoy can learn a lot compared to if he enters a local schools where the maestro and classmates are limited. See?
All we have to do are:
1) have a computer linked to the internet; or just go to the internet;
2) provide Coycoy all the needed tools or equipment; lots of or complete set of tools;
3) and the materials needed; lots of materials;
4) lots of practice! Hands-on!
5) as well as guide him to make each product he made useful, not to just throw it into the trash can or to insert it in a book page or folder and be forgotten, but “meaningful” such as through giving them to loved ones as gifts, or birthday present, or selling them or displaying them in the web, any manner that can make each painting work joy-and-worth-bringing to the maker/giver and to the beholder/recipient. The usefulness of each work is very important motivation. Where it went, and whether or not it was appreciated or useful will provide the child the incentive and motivation to continue in his endeavor. But if he finds that what he does is not appreciated, not important, not meaningful, not useful, or not sale-able, then, the motivation lessens, his desire and diligence decreases until another hobby or interest replaces it; thus, the talent dies. So, parental support is very important here.
Talent, any talent, but especially art and music, is an infinite mine: the more you excavate it, the more it becomes more plentiful; the more you give it, the more it glitters and becomes more precious and valuable; the more you use it, the better it becomes; the more you give it away, the more it increases, and the richer you become!; the more you make people happy with it, the happier you become!; the faster you dispense and circulate it, the faster it increases!”
My text to Vida continues: “Formal schooling is a dilatory tactic, Bee. Why I am in a hurry? It’s not that I’m impatient; it’s that this system of formal schooling is a commercial endeavor mainly for the teachers to earn and for the owner of educational institutions to get rich and for those in power, to control the people by giving them limited slave-level education, e.g., putting them into mediocrity by delaying learning, or making them half-baked by the time they graduate, the skills are very low, low enough to qualify them to do errand, employee works, slave-works.
I have a few important points about education, which we may cite here by passing, but some are relevant to our topic.
In the New Revelation, the Lord wanted us to know and understand that
• Many are called to learn but few are chosen by Father Jehovah, the Master Educator, to teach. That is the meaning of the phrase “Many are called, but few are chosen”;
• That the office of a teacher requires a very high standard of theory and practice on the part of the teacher;
• That it is the basis of qualifying to become God’s chosen teacher;
• That any other qualification or purpose such as to earn is dangerous or to gain wealth through selling education or courses is a dangerous objective leading to catastrophic conditions in the world;
• An educator who teaches or establishes a school for the purpose of profit and without God’s textbooks or teachings is bound to put the whole world in darkness;
• Education is ought to be free and the Lord warned us that the moment when education becomes for fee, that is the sign of catastrophe!
These are the things we can deduce from reading His own words in the New Revelations (here in full version):
Catastrophe When Profit Becomes the Motive of Churches and Schools!
FALSE PROPHETS AND TEACHERS:
THEIR PROFIT MOTIVE THAT FUELS THEIR CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS AS MAJOR CULPRIT OF THE WORLD’S MESS AND CRISES IN THE LATTER DAYS
The New Revelations of Jesus Christ, Volume 25, Chapter 1, www.franky1.com
SIMON JUDAH said: “O Lord and Master, I understand this now so very distinctly and clearly that I think that it simply cannot be clearer. But I honestly must confess that for us, Your first disciples, it is easier to understand those things, for on many occasions we heard great and similar announcements by Your mercy and love, but for many others who still walk in darkness it will take great trouble to also make such truths as clear to them as they are for us now. O Lord and Master, the many teachings that you expressed in simple words will be like the lot of teachings from the mouth of the prophets, especially the prophets Daniel and Ezekiel and the teachings that originate from the wisdom of Solomon. Because the more you read them or the more you let them be read to you, the less you understand them.
[2] Your teaching has the same characteristics, especially when You speak in parables and images. We understand Your parables and images, but many thousands and thousands of people, who will come after us and who will also accept Your teaching, will not understand the parables and images and they most likely will give a different meaning to it, and in this manner Your very pure and true teaching will repeatedly crumble. But what can we do against this problem?”
[3] I said: “Did I not tell you that it is given to you to understand the secrets of My Kingdom? For I chose you as My disciples and teachers of the people who will follow Me, for every teacher or master must unmistakably know and understand more than his student, otherwise he cannot be a teacher or master.
[4] If the master would not be wiser than the student, would this not mean the same as when one blind man would lead the other till they come to a pit in which they both will fall? Therefore, only few are chosen, even if many are called.
Characteristic No. 1 of True Teacher: Master of his subject
Characteristic No. 1 of False Teacher: Not master of his subject
Lack of mastery on the part of the teacher will send all to the ditch, e.g., failure, frustration, bankruptcy, errors, dangers.
[5] They only should be fed with the very simple milk of My teaching. If they will become manly and strong, then manlier and stronger food can be given to them. So take especially care that no one will arise who is only called and would say to the people: ‘Also we belong to the chosen ones’, with the purpose to teach the people for worldly profit, because then one blind man will lead the other.
Characteristic No. 2 of True Teacher: Development and mastery of his students is his main motive
Characteristic No. 2 of False Teacher: Profit is the main motive
Here, parents, leaders and nations should have taken diligent care not to allow profit-oriented teachers and school owners to rise as mushroom all over the world. Parents should take the Holy Spirit as the main and only criteria of a teacher. And the charging of “tuition” or education charges should have already served as the telltale sign that these people are false teachers and that they are not bringing the teachings of God, and that they are there for worldly profit and power.
This should begin to introduce us who the Je suits are, being the leading owners of schools in the Philippines and around the world, in the light of God’s New Revelations.
They own most private high schools and most of the colleges in the country… almost a monopoly. Yes, if we count the other schools as owned by other Order of the Catholic Church, then, we can say almost a monopoly.
[6] But you will recognize the one who is chosen among the people from the fact that he just like you is filled with My Spirit and will preach the true love for God and the neighbor.
Characteristic No. 3 of True Teacher: Love for God and neighbor is the first or main, major subject/teaching
Characteristic No. 3 of False Teacher: Does not make Love for God and neighbor as the foremost purpose
[7] But if he preaches like the Pharisees in the temple, then he is someone who is chosen by the Pharisees and is just like them of this world and just like them a devil, for the one who does not gather the true love and wisdom from Me, scatters (e.g., confuses, divides) and is a false teacher. Such person will throw the people into superstition out of which – especially when the people became older and are really totally adhered to the darkness of superstition – all the angels will not be able anymore to bring them back into the sphere of the pure truth by which they then could become free in all things. And I say to you that all evils are more easily removed from man than superstition, because every other evil imprisons the soul of man only partially, but dark superstition completely.
Characteristic No. 4 of True Teacher: Gathers love and wisdom from God and conveys them to his students.
Characteristic No. 4 of False Teacher: Does not make God’s love and wisdom-truth as his source, but superstitions.
[8] I already told you once that even during your life a great number of false teachers and prophets, and with that also a great number of false christs, will teach the people and say: ‘Look, here is Christ’, or ‘There He is’, or ‘He lives in the temple’, or ‘in the chambers’. In such case, say to the people that they are being deceived by such teaching.
Comment: This is very true. Problem is, people or we don’t truly understand what “Christ” means. Does not it mean “hope,” “assurance,” “help,” “solution,” “security,” “liberation,” “freedom,” not just “salvation”?
For, indeed, these schools, these teachers have been assuring people, students and parents, of better life. They have been assuring people that education can solve their poverty and problem. Yes, can be true, but not necessarily their type of education! Where the people are outwitted. People do not realize that NOT ALL EDUCATION CAN SAVE THEM, ONLY RIGHT EDUCATION CAN HELP AND SAVE THEM AND THEY NEED TO KNOW WHERE IT IS!
[9] Those who will turn to you, lay your hands on them and baptize them in My name. I will pour out My Spirit over them, then they will recognize the truth, and they themselves will then remove the false prophets and false christs from the community.
[10] If the deceived people will not listen to you and will moreover persecute you for the sake of their false teachers and prophets, turn away from them and travel further to where My Spirit will pull you. Leave all the rest to Me, for at the right time I will know how to visit such false teachers and prophets with My judgment, and the same will happen to such false teachers and prophets in the beyond as what happened to the guest at My festive dinner who had no wedding garment. And the souls whom they darkened will be their most bitter persecutors.
Comment: Amen!
[11] It is sufficient that My teaching will be kept pure by only a few, and this will be taken care of at all times. But the rabble of worldly people will go on till the end, turning and bathing in their old excrements and pool of mud. And here is My commandment valid again for you: not to throw My pearls to the swine.
Characteristic No. 5 of True Teacher: Their teachings are like Pearls. Duty: Don’t throw the pearl to the pigs!
Characteristic No. 5 of False Teacher: Their teachings are like old excements and pool of mud.
The above verses are a bad testimony about the world: The nations and people and masses would – did! - prefer the for-profit churches/preachers and schools/teachers.

DILATORY TACTIC
If we entrust Coycoy and the other kids to the formal system of schooling, we are thus allowing the schools to delay the actual speed of learning a child is capable of! Through so much theory without practice/application, through much irrelevant theories, they are wearing out the students, making learning a big burdensome thing to them. If you ask students at random, Do you like school or studying?, most probably will tell you, “No, I don’t enjoy the lessons, only the company of fellow same-age students.”
Follow up question: “So why do you go to school at all?”
Typical answer: “I don’t have a better alternative.”
The better alternative ought to be: a kind of happy, enjoyable learning, full of excitement, even positive fun, towards a noble, sublime goal.
Where is it? What is it?
That is what I am trying to make visible to Coycoy: a vision of who will he be if his talents are fully developed. They call this self-actualization. You actualize your God-given potential – you become of what God intended you to become in this life.
Nice!
PHILIPPINE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM K + 12:
2 YEARS ADVANCE AND 10 YEARS LATE
Until 2011, the basic educational system of the Philippines could be called P + 10; meaning: Preparatory which is two or three years of day care or pre-school + 6 years of elementary + 4 years of high school. The 10 refers to the elementary and high school period.
Since no work skills and no talent development have been incorporated, still less prioritized in this kind of education, but only study of English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and slightly on Arts, the result is a high school graduate who does not suit to the world of work. He was to be taught by the employer to bake bread, do some carpentry works, how to sew, whatever is the line of business his employee was in.
Of course, as one of the employers, this uncooked kind of employee, cost much to us, employers in the form of weeks or months of training, not to mention the cost of mistakes, and also not to mention the low productivity or the lack of quantity and quality during the months and years of not being yet a skilled worker.
It would run to a few years before a worker can be considered expert in his fields. That meant loss to the employer. The worker in other words would not be contributing to the business what could have made the employer prosperous or very gainful.
Imagine how many customers would not come back after tasting a not so good product and service from a neophyte worker. Then compare that to the case where another employer found a very highly skilled worker whose work, or output made customers to return or make repeat orders.
We experience both situations.
So, the HIGH SCHOOL MILL of uncooked graduates, not even a half-baked, it would have been better if they were half-baked and we, the employers would take care to train him to become fully baked (that is, fully expert), has been quite invisibly one of the major causes of the backwardness of the country.
Our high schools have been milling unskilled graduates. This is the defect of P + 10 system.
Going to the tertiary, a similar thing happened: no real mastery is gained! It is what is also happening to our colleges and universities, the only difference is that college graduates are now half-baked, no longer uncooked.
After decades of making noise, they at last have listened and created the K + 12. What is it? It is aimed to treat the defect of the P + 10. It is TO INSERT WORK SKILLS into our highly academic, theoretical, intellectual, impractical HIGH SCHOOL. Instead of 10 years of basic education, two years are added (as 5th and 6th year high school) to focus on work skills: baking, cooking, sewing, carpentry, masonry, mechanics, electrical, electronics, typing, computer, you name it. Hence, 12.
What is the advantage of the K + 12 system?
Compared to the old P + 10, this quite better in the sense that in P + 10, you actually need to add 4 years in college in order to be considered employable, with the diploma, although not necessarily meaning you have the work skills, but just the diploma.
Now, in K + 12, they intentionally, and hopefully this plan and intention will be materialized, to put up shops all over the high school campus, to provide students a semi-actual environment where they can practice sewing, cooking, baking, etc. And hopefully, as we suggested, after the school shop, they will be required to undergo APPRENTICESHIP in the actual shops – in real businesses, before they would be truly certified and prepared to become employable, that is, considered as a real worker or employee.
So, here the 2 years gain is found: in K+12, you can be officially considered employable at 18, upon finished 6th year senior high school, while in the previous P + 10 + 4 system, you would not be officially employable until age 20, college graduation. So there is a 2 year gain.
Hence, K + 12 is 2 years gain vis-à-vis the just replaced P + 10 + 4.
Now, why did we say “K + 12 = 10 YEARS LATE”?
How could K+12 be 2 years advance and at the same time 10 years late?
The simple answer to this is: In K + 12, our graduates will be skilled at 18, but in the global arena, the Japanese kids, Chinese kids, Singaporean kids, etc., through the active cooperation between parents and teachers as well as companies, attain high level of expertise at age 8!
So what is the difference between 18 and 8?
10!
So, what does that mean?
It means that where Filipinos will become expert at 18, their counterparts DID IT AT 8! So, I nickname their system as a “DID 8 SYSTEM”! They did it at 8. DID 8!
So, our K + 12 is 2 years advance compared to our old system (or to the PAST), but 10 years late in the international arena (or to the PRESENT). So, what will be the FUTURE of our Filipino workers? If they depend solely to our newly implemented K + 12?
Answer: It surely be likely running a marathon and the Filipino contestant is 10 kilometers behind other fellow contestants! Not to mention the wrong fields!!! This is another topic of focus which I have wanted to touch and discuss in depth.
May I do a start.. although more longer discussions are expected to follow.
TOO LATE [NOT PRUDENT] TO COMPETE THE JAPS, GERMANS & AMERICANS
I have already noticed the sad situation of us, Filipinos trying to copy and overtake the Japanese, Taiwanese, Americans, Germans, Europeans SPECIFICALLY IN INDUSTRIAL FIELDS, a.k.a. in manufacturing.
We are decades or even century behind in science and technology, in the know-how in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and the likes.
There may be a few exceptional Filipinos whom these foreigner countries adopt through scholarships and employment to become THEIRS! But we are talking of the 99% of the Filipino men, and also women who are not scholars.
For them, I have no better RECIPE OR FORMULA OF SUCCESS AND STABILITY EXCEPT THIS: THE LAND (that is, agri-business) + TALENTS + THE NR EDUCATION.
When I mentioned “the Land,” I refer to livelihood based on the land. This includes farming as well as livestock.
With the emergence of ORGANIC FARMING, we can aim high, in the arena of global trade and commerce. What is the high aim? TO SUPPLY ORGANIC SPICES, VEGETABLES & FRUITS TO THE INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIES!
Quickly see that in this scenario, Filipinos are no longer going to compete with YOU-ropeans and YOU-nited States of America et al. You go on with YOUR manufacturing, and we will go on with our FARMING to feed you with healthy, nutritious food.
This is relevant if we consider the community of nations as a team or family. You who are brighter, take care of the manufacturing of music gadgets, and the likes, while we, who are inferior intellectually will concentrate in FOOD PRODUCTION.
To succeed in this, the land in the Philippines must be freed from the hacienderos and be equally distributed to every family, e.g., 3 to 5 hectares per family. No land will be granted unless the recipient will cultivate it personally or through the help of some fellow farmers. No more hacienderos, to be exact.
Imagine each household teeming with vegetables and fruits. That is where the Filipinos will succeed and find happiness. The Filipinos find the niche in farming if we realize and see that all over the world, but especially in the industrialized countries, the soil has been double dead due to the use and over-use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
In my calculation, the soil in Germany and USA and other older, industrialized nations are dead and deadly simply because of the aforementioned reasons: they are old and have been longer in using chemical fertilizers and pesticides and also, they have put into their soil not to mention air, water, more chemicals than other nations.
As they become aware of the danger their soil is now giving them, they would consider stopping own farming and go to other lands to buy grains, vegetables and fruits. More and more number of their citizens are coming to realize that their soil are now very dangerous, and how difficult to stop using the chemical fertilizers for the simple reason that the soil, being dead, will no longer give yield without the chemical fertilizers, which are the givers of artificial fruits.
So, my fellow Filipinos, if we are entrepreneurial or enterprising enough, find the niche: ORGANIC FOOD FOR OUR INDUSTRIALIZED NEIGHBORS-NATIONS!
***
HOW THE INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIES CAN HELP THE PHILIPPINES NOT COMPETE THEM BUT SUPPLY THEM WITH ORGANIC FOOD?
Japan, Europe, America must let our Overseas Workers go home so we can all concentrate in food production. These manufacturing countries shall help us restore our damaged farms, make farm terraces, and refill them with organic soil.
Instead of worrying about immigrants, the rich manufacturing nations must consider helping poor countries succeed in farming so all those migrants, immigrants can go home. For the USA, Europe, et al, no more threat of being out-populated by immigrants.
Instead of maltreating us, you should let us go home? How? Give us a plane ticket back home? No, for as we arrive home, the poverty here will drive us again to go back to Japan, et al, where we are treated as undesirables and exploitables!
You can practice brotherhood for the heavenly Father’s sake, not by accepting 200,000 Filipinas as entertainers a.k.a prostitutes in Japan, but by helping the fathers and husbands of these 200,000 young Filipinas in our farming et al and thus, these Japayukes (Filipina prostitutes in Japan) can go home and stay home!!!??
Though this is not a Complain Desk or a Distress Bureau, against Japan, yet, we have from our ancestors what we call “gaba”. It is a retribution or more specifically, a judgment or punishment from the Almighty if we suffer the oppression, do not hold a grudge but bear it more with patience and forgiveness, which we, Filipinos, do often exercise. Look, you cannot find in our hearts that we keep some hatred against the Japanese who raped our grandmothers, mothers, aunts, or who tossed up our young infants in the air to be caught or charged with the knife in their long gun’s tip (it is known as bayoneta).
We came to know their atrocities, and have been astonished, but look, you cannot find in our hearts that we care revenge against them. In fact, we even hold the Japanese in high respect.
Yes, despite what they are doing to our thousands of Japayukes.
If the Japanese were compassionate to their foreign brethren and not limit their compassion to their fellow Japanese, they would intervene with their industrial and financial might to help us, poor and weak Filipino men, to get lifted up, and succeed here in our villages, so that we will no longer see, to our hearts bleeding with blood, our beloved mothers and wives and sisters and daughters go to Japan!
Thus, to you, our Japanese brothers, consider what I have said here now, because if you will not recognize the universal brotherhood of all mankind and continue to oppress and take advantage of the poor and weak, how will our common God and Creator bless you and protect your from nuclear plant explosion and melting or from tsunamis?
I am asking you so that we together can ascend together back to the sphere of true love and eternal life. Do not acquire your existence, sustenance or luxury by making others cry and die!!!
Please…….!
My heart has been bleeding for so many years now…because of this that you do to us, the monkeys and the turtles of this civilized mankind! Just think and try to feel if your wife or sister or daughter is made into sex objects by love-less men of lust! Would you be happy?
Do not worship your false god of Science and Technology and Industry, your secondary and frontal god, where you have been placing your confidence and pride. Your pride, which is selflove, which is your primary and more subtle god behind your god Science and Technology & Industry, will not see your through for pride precedes every fall.
Japan’s salvation rests in your move to return to the God of Meduhed, the founder and patriarch of Japan. This God of Patriarch Meduhed is the same God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. This is the same God the Japanese abandoned when they turned to worship their arts and sculptures, the first work of their hands and then to the other works of their hands, namely: through Science and Technology and Industry. (The Household of God, vol. 1, www.franky1.com). The same God came down and was name Jesus Emmanuel of Nazareth, not the other Jesus.
To avail genuine salvation, all has to go to the genuine Savior. He is not the present Jesus whom the Americans and the Catholics and so-called majority Christians are worshipping now! He is not!

COMPLEMENT K+12 WITH P10
March 28, 2011
A Message To: All School PTA Presidents
Title: COMPLEMENT K+12 WITH P10
FROM: Arnulfo Yu Laniba, PTA Federation President, Loon – South District, Bohol, Philippines
My dear fellow parents and fellow Parents-Teachers Association (PTA) presidents, whose main responsibility is not only for their own children, but also to guide other fellow parents take charge in the growth, development and journey of their own children more wisely, successfully and effectively,
Greetings to you all!
The newly approved educational reform program for basic education in the Philippines, is known as K + 12, and will take effect in SY 2016-17 with the first batch of Senior High School, as the first to undergo 5th & 6th year of high school, the present being only up to 4th year.
The advantage of K+12 over the exiting old, present system
Before K + 12, that is to say, from the past decades up to now until School Year 2015-16, our children can become officially employable at age 20, after college graduation.
After K + 12 takes effect starting SY 2016-17, when the first Senior High School of K+12 starts, they will be now skilled for work, hence, employable, at age 18, or 2 years earlier than the previous age of 20, under this old system in effect until year 2016.
Take note: Under the K+12 system, at age 18, our children will learn to assemble and repair TV, computer, radio, and other appliances and other vocational works. That is 2 years earlier than the old system.
That’s the advantage of K+12 system over the replaced old system which we may call K+10 because there was no Senior High School consisting 5th and 6th year of high school.
The disadvantage of K+12 vis-à-vis global arena
But here is the disadvantage of K+12 which disadvantage does not become visible until we view work on a global perspective.
Consider that, as we are told and informed, children in China, Japan and other industrially advanced countries, are learning the same skills, not at age 18, but at age 8!
We are still to do it by 18, and only starting year 2016. But, look, they DID IT at 8! Hence, I want to dub their system, for the sake of further discussion and reference, as “DID 8” system.
In short, our K+12 is still very much behind other nations!
Our counter-action
This may no longer be a government initiative, but the parents’.
What is our solution then? What should be our counter program to make our boys or men (not necessarily girls who must now start to stay at home for their safety,) to be able to be competitive in the global job market or in a globalized village setting?
Answer: P10 BEFORE K+12.
We must do P10 before K+12 takes effect in our children, that is, before they will reach Senior Highs School.
What is P10?
Simply stated, Parents to take charge for the first 10 years before the K+12’s 5th & 6th Senior High School, in educating, training, teaching the necessary skills for work. They must not wait for the senior highs school or for the children to reach 18 years old. They must train the children 10 years ahead.
When is that 10 years taking place?
Answer: From Elementary years (6 years) + Junior High School (4 years), hence, 10 years, before our children climb up to the 5th & 6th years in Senior High School to be trained with work (vocational) skills.
Or better still, to start P10 at age 4 or 5!
Q: What is the minimum purpose of P10?
A: Parents must aim to make our children firm-hand in handling tools, such as screw drivers, testers, and in operating basic machines and appliances, work tools, before they reach Senior High School (age 17 & 18).
Q: What is the maximum and ambitious purpose and goal of this parental initiative called P10?
A: Parents must do everything they can to catch up with other nations when it comes to diligence, skills training, development of work ethics, and the likes. Our K+12 @ 18 appears to be a program of laziness and late-comer in the light of the global race to make children expert and hard working as early as 8 years old! Ours will be 10 years late and behind!
Perhaps to silent (and satisfy) the noisy parents demanding for and seeking reform of our very ineffective and degenerating performance of education, our K+12 @ 18 appears to be a joke program tainted with the trait of laziness and indolence. It will then end us up as nothing but still slaves, mediocres, employees, objects of scorn, suppression, oppression and all kinds of abuses!
I’ll welcome K+12 if that is what the government can only do, but I will embrace – read: seize the P10 concept because, as proven by Charice Pempengko, the YouTube Filipino singing phenomenon, whose mother did to her the P10, that is, being her lone music trainer since she was a little child, a child can become expert or great in his or her talent as early as 10 years old or even earlier. P10 works amazingly in the life of Charice. And also with Manny Pabquiao, the world’s greatest boxing champion, whose mother was his sole motivator, main emotional and spiritual supporter.
P10 means Parents Taking Charge in Unleashing the Hidden Talents and Potential of a Child as early as Possible. With Charice, it became possible when she was yet Grade VI, I guess, 12 years old. She already became an international singer!
With P10, each child can become a virtuoso of his/her talent as early as 10 years old, or even earlier than that!
With K+12 alone, our children will reach 18, and that is yet the time to start learning the basic! So, this means MEDIOCRITY, not greatness, not success.
So, what is the message?
Let us stop burdening our teachers, and as PARENTS, like the parents of Charice and many, LET’S TAKE CHARGE! Government will just follow! For it is wrong to think that it is the teachers and the government officials who are the main responsible persons of our children’s well-being and development. No, it is us, parents.
Now, let us stop being passive, letting things happen, abdicating our main duty, entrusting it to others. Let’s stop giving it all to our unjustly overburdened teachers, and start taking charge. Or your children will never become like Charice even in small degree in their own chosen field!
May this serves as our awakening. See you in the coming years!
God bless.
Concerned for your success and happiness as parents and as families,
Ka Cocoy

P10 still for ORGANIC DIRECTION
P.S. Yes, P10 works more powerfully as well if we decide to change course, which I advice, that is, from being industrially-envious to going back to farming-agriculture, THE ORGANIC WAY, where we, I’m sure, can do better.
To catch up with the very technically-mechanically advanced countries, will not be possible to us, perhaps only by a handful of us; but I am referring to the vast majority of our countrymen. The Filipinos will be much wiser if we, parents, expend our P10 program to the training and fielding many of our children to ORGANIC FARMING – herbs, vegetables, spices, flowers and the much desired fruits.
Look, I have the following reasons why I campaign – have been campaigning - for a mass-return to agriculture:
1. Money or dollar, we must now more wisely know, is not the wealth – HEALTH IS THE WEALTH!
2. Gadgets too, and appliances are not going to give us health, but laziness, obesity, and lots of terminal diseases from being obese!
3. In countries who majored gadgets and appliances and abandoned agriculture, such as us and the USA, there is much confusion, aimlessness (as shown by many drug addicts), unhappiness.
4. It seems to me, that a world of gadget-appliances is full of laziness and God is not a God of laziness because He said, “You shall work for six days and rest only in the 7th as the holy Sabbath.” In God’s world, which this world is not, there is no sitting down in front of TV almost the whole day, but lots of work under the sun, much sweating, not sedentary lifestyle which induces cardio-vascular diseases, diabetes, rheumatism, etc. There is much health, muscles, strengths in work that produces honest sweats!
5. Don’t you realize that we have been violating God’s commandment to work 6 days? In these 6 days, TV watching, entertainment, games, sitting down, gambling, are not allowed! God said, You shall work, not sit down to be entertained, six days a week! That’s in Exodus 20.
6. Much of our misfortune, failure, losses, bankruptcy, lack of productivity, lack of profitability, poverty, misery CAN BE TRACED TO OUR LOUSY OBSERVANCE OF THE 6-DAY WORK-ONE-DAY REST COMMANDMENT!
7. The processed foods contain chemicals and, whether we accept it or not, all chemicals are by nature poisonous. They only differ in time and potency, but all chemicals are not fit to enter our body. They are toxic, even though the effect may be gradual. But it will catch us up, say, when we reach 50 or 40 years old. And then the regrets. And then, the massive out-waste of whatever savings we might have made in our whole lifetime, then, also the earnings of our children, will be sacrificed! See? So, we need to go back to ORGANIC FOOD.
8. Also, and here is where we can help, serve as well as earn at the same time, other nations in agriculture rather than if we continue with our industrial ambition: I believe their soil is the most poisoned compared to ours, for the flowing reasons:
a. Industrialized countries are older countries than us; they had exploited their soil longer than we do ours;
b. They have been the first and therefore longer in using the chemical fertilizers and pesticides that kill and poison the soil; This resulted to their soil being more dead than ours;
9. If they will return to organic farming instantly, e.g., drastic stop in using chemical fertilizers and pesticides, their more dead soil will not be able to give yield (fruits). There will be no harvest. I am 100.1 % sure of that. Only the chemical fertilizer is presently giving yield to their grains and fruits, giving ‘life’ to their vegetables, thus, artificial yield, full of chemicals, full of disease-causing substances.
10. Now, a growing number of Americans et al are awakening to the danger of chemicals used as fertilizers and pesticides and they want to go organic, but they are faced with the harsh option, namely: if they stop using chemicals, no yield will result. So, if they stay with their own soil, they have only two choices: (1) CONTINUE WITH CHEMICAL FARMING & SUFFER THE INCREASING CANCERS FOR THE YEARS TO COME, OR (2) DRASTIC STOP IN CHEMICAL FARMING, GO ORGANIC, BUT FOR THE FIRST 5 TO 10 YEARS, THE SOIL WILL NOT YET BE ABLE TO GIVE ANY SUBSTANTIAL YIELD WHICH MAY MEAN HUNGER, UNDER-NUTRITION, UNDER-NOURISHMENT which is very dangerous because there hiding in their body fats (and Americans are mostly fat), lots of chemicals and cancer agents are laying in wait, which will suddenly rise up, if the immune system of the people suddenly slow down due to less food, these cancer agents will rise up and eat the fats and cause the body to decay; hence, more cancer!
11. So, the USA, Europe, Japan, et al need other faster option, while they work hard to heal their soil, and this faster option is namely: to contract other nations to produce organic food for them, while they are busy working for their deader soil to return to organic. I’m informed that Negros Province, Philippines, has been contracted by Japan and EU to produce organic sugar, organic vegetables, etc. Negros is thus setting the trend of what I envision the Philippines will go in the next years and onward: FEED THE WORLD WITH ORGANIC FOOD. Negros is the pilot. And we shall follow though.
12. EVEN IF WE DON’T REALIZE IT AND EVEN IF THEY DON’T SAY IT, they need us. We can help…. If we just open our eyes of brotherly love. And only then will we be blessed, for giving love to our global neighbors and brothers.
That is the way the Philippines should go from now on….

MY CONCLUSION RE EDUCATION OF MY KIDS
My conclusion regarding the EDUCATION FOR THE KIDS.
My conclusion: With parental guidance, THE INTERNET MAKES OUR SCHOOL AND TEACHERS IRRELEVANT AND OBSOLETE.
I mean, for a parent with a computer connected to the internet, plus some wisdom, there is no need for him to send his children to the formal schools, where much time is wasted and also the teachers have been trained to slow down learning, not to mention their failure or refusal to personalized, customized and specialized education, not just generalized. There is a general for-all portion of education, but there must be customized, specialized, based on the child’s own talent/s.
Franky, Thierry, if we can succeed with the internet connection in the hill building, on time, e.g., before school begins, so I can give people a visible alternative, to put criticism down (e.g., “Oh, Cocoy is not educating his bright boy. What a pity!”) before it spreads and create an antagonistic general public feeling against us. There is a not-so-good at times law here that the government can sue parents if they don’t send their children to school. “There are free public schools, so why let children stop schooling?” is their line of reasoning.
I do not care about the world’s or people’s opinion so much. I never did. Their opinions matter not to me. That has been my position ever since I was a child. What matters to me is what I know from God’s Word.
So, that is not the reason why I am feeling urgent in having internet. My reason is I want to prevent quarrels (me against the whole family) as well as the ensuing stress the children will have as a result.
I made the first attempt to personally educate the kids a few years ago. That was one of the many reasons why Vida also took the children to Jagna because she sensed I was wanting to let the kids stay at home so I could take charge in educating them. I am referring to the two oldest kids (the two girls) who were going high school. So, they succeeded in letting them go through high school, the government and teachers having a say of what to teach them.
My plan for them for their high school years (ages 13 to 16) was (1) academic as minor through home study/ online courses; and (2) as MAJOR SUBJECTS would be the special skills like baking, sewing, business-management practice in the bakery, etc. with the aid of the internet and specific textbooks.
Placing the kids in a 4-year curriculum causes them to focus on English-Math-Science at mediocre level and to have zero-learning for their talents and work-skills.
Result: not suited for work!
Those who had finished high school under this system, would be classified as “not skilled nor ready for work.” Yeah, even if you proceeded and finished a 4-year degree course, your work skill would still be very low.
So low that you will fit only the position of a clerk, typist, salesgirl, domestic helper, utility person, and other servant-slave works.
So, disappointing!
That mediocre slave-creating formal education is the pit I am working hard to avoid for all children but, at least for my kids.
As Parents-Teachers Association president in our place, I work hard but much success yet, to awaken parents and the government about this dismal fate of our education. Btu I know true success will come only if I will have conveyed the NR to them regarding what true education and true freedom is all about.
For the moment, I am concerned about the hostile reaction of my parents, siblings, relatives, regarding my plan to stop my bright boy from going to formal schooling.
Oh, yeah, I got the first feedback already – from my youngest sister: “Oh, how pitiful Coycoy will be. Manong Cocoy is not going to send him to high school!”
So, my defense to that is: home study, e.g., the International Correspondence School, or the internet courses, online study, or whatever we call that, plus lots of actual practice!
Here in I can prove the wisdom of parent-guided customized education with the aid of internet and appropriate tools.
Franky, Thierry, please aid me in providing Coycoy the means to study via internet, OK I can do that by giving him money to go to the internet café from time to time, although it is best if we can connect to the internet as soon as possible, because I want to be close to him when he surfs to make sure he is properly guided.
And also, we need to give him the best environment for application or practice.
[back to Topic Contents]
THE SOLE REASON WHY I WANT TO GUIDE COYCOY
It is the NR in my mind why I want Coycoy to both master the computer hardware and software.
It is also the NR that I want him to paint and compose music. By NR, I also mean Divine Love.
I want him to innovate, assemble, etc., an eReader mainly to put into it the NR, so we can gift it to people.
And I want him to paint and compose music on Divine Love, to write from wordings quoted or derived from the NR. There are countless of wordings in the NR which I know, with or without revision, can be quoted best for love-Music. I know the world’s songs are love for self, e.g., woman. I want to see new composers composing songs like the psalms of David, namely: adoration to the Father and appreciation of His beautiful creation and works.
The NR are a kind of poems – love poems. The statement of our Father and Lord Jesus are often poetic.
These I wish to arrange, and put some nice tunes. Just like what Mr. Ross Jutsum did with the nice verses in the Bible. He picked up the appropriate verses here and there, and instead of making it into sermons, he arranged them into beautiful songs.
You have his composition, right? While we were still in WCG, right?
I love his songs.
They are still in my heart. But I lost the cassette tapes. We could not preserve them because of humidity and lack of know-how.
Anyway, I tried to trace him in the internet and I was glad to find Mr. Jutsum. He has the songs and new other compositions. We exchanged a few emails.
I would like to copy him, at least in a small degree. I have more feeling I will not be able to attain this with myself, but maybe through other guys, my kids included. I want them to compose songs of divine love…. Yes, based on the NR.
***
As for the arts/paintings, same goal. NR-Divine Love as the basis.
By the way, please include in your plan to gift us with flat screen where colors can finally be seen, not to mention the lowered radiation. My longing for a new screen became intense yesterday, when I was surfing, searching for the “Most beautiful paintings and scenes in nature” at Yahoo, which gave me thousands! I copied the first 8 or so pages, while I sort of floating in ecstasy every time I look at each nice painting/picture.
Each makes you jump in joy and exclaim, “Father, you are indeed a master Creator of Beauty!”
Indeed, I am awed at how beautiful are His creation. Blessed are the tourists who sought and found and even videocam-ed many of His creations.
It’s nice to cultivate love for beauty as well as, simultaneous to that, pity for the ugly. This is the perfect attitude: you are obsessed for beautiful things while very compassionate with the uglied, you wanting most of all to help restore what has been made ugly by sin.
Yeah, love (e.g., for life and beauty) as the first trait, and pity (or mercy, compassion) as the 7th trait. These seal up the trait of perfection.
For the moment, I cannot show to Coycoy et al these most beautiful pictures and paintings at home, because this monitor, though it still serve my typing purposes, does not show the color blue, white, and all other colors well, because it is yellowish. No matter what I do to adjust the color, it returns to yellowish color, automatically.
But Coycoy can view these paintings and pictures in the internet. So, it is not totally helpless.
[back to Topic Contents]
TO CONTROL COYCOY’S TIME
What I want is to control or guide Coycoy’s time so he can focus on his talents and develop it the soonest possible and make it negotiable, so to speak, which he can use in magazines, or in selling via the internet or direct to customers, etc.
It’s like HANDS-ON ART/PAINTING COURSE IN JUST ONE MONTH, HANDS-ON MUSIC COURSE IN JUST ONE MONTH, HANDS-ON COMPUTER HARDWARE ASSEMBLY AND REPAIR COURSE IN JUST ONE MONTH.
Aside from that, I will let Coycoy help in the organic farming as well as train him for the bakery management.
That is opposite if I will give him to the formal school to control and consume his active waking 8 hours – everyday!
There, he will not become an entrepreneur, or inventor, innovator, or artist, or musician, etc. but mere employee! If he will continue to be bright, then, it will be the Babylonian companies who will use his intelligence to promote their chemical-filled products and chemical-based business to continue to weaken and kill the people while they extort them – that is, letting them pay while they kill them slowly.
What a thing to happen to my son!

VISION 1 FOR COYCOY: eREADER/eLIBRARY
One of the visions I have for and with Coycoy: in the computer field, he will get much involved, contribute much in the process of replacing all cellular phones used by people with eReader-eLibrary.
Here is my statement to Coycoy: The electronics skill I wish you to acquire, besides being able to help us repair/assemble our own computer and gadgets, is to help us assemble, innovate and propagate the eReader-eLibrary which is a kind of laptop, smaller than laptop, and a little bigger than cellular phone, its main function is depository of books, in our purpose, very important books such as the New Revelations books, encyclopedias, dictionaries, and the likes, hence, a library, a portable library in every person’s hand.
I want eReader-eLibary to replace all cellular phones. Today, it’s cellular phone. Tomorrow, it will be eReader-eLibrary.
This eReader-eLibrary can also perform basic celfone tasks: send and receive messages. And it will also be able to do internet task such as sending/receiving messages, emails, images, etc.; uploading/downloading, searching in the internet, etc., etc., but the most important task for the eReader-eLibrary are:
• As library of important precious books;
• Fast search;
• Excellent reading tool;
• Can be a lasting depository of books, can stand the test of time and the threats of the elements (e.g., water, heat, fire, humidity, tear, breakage, etc.)
• It will be mainly ‘PORTABLE NR” as a better and more practical alternative to printing the entire 50 plus New Revelations books in paper books!
• Excellent features to be able to share the NR and discuss it in the wide wireless world! Blogging, eConferencing at its best!
• If needed Franky, I wish Coycoy will become an innovator, even inventor in the field of eReader, both the hardware and software.
Comparison between celfone and eReader:
• Celfone is empty. If the sender has empty mind, the recipient will receive empty gossip, bad jokes, etc. As long as celfone will reign here in the Philippines/world, nothing great will happen to the Filipinos or the world. Many bad words and bad attitudes are being passed per second through the celfone.
• The eReader-eLibrary, on the other hand, contains the NEW WORD OF GOD, and other scientific information for everyday applications. Good books, spiritual as well as secular. Organic farming will be there. We will control what to put in there. At least, as we hand in the eReader to the recipient/buyer. What to put in next, will be up to the new owner of the gadget.
• The contents of the eReader-eLibrary will suddenly brighten/enlighten the dull/dark mind of the owner!
• The eReader-eLibrary will also allow efficient sharing of comments, discussions, regarding the NR contents of it.
• Everybody can help someone find where in the NR is the knowledge he is looking for, and needs to apply to a certain situation or field. For example, if he is into farming, then, them who have come across a verse or paragraph on agriculture can send the verse-location to him. Etc.
• In this way, both personal and general progress will be fast! And each will no longer need an employer over him/her, only a fellow who can point out to him/her the verse.
• This is not to replace direct mentoring or direct inspiration by the Holy Spirit or direct answer from above in the form of thought. This knowledge in book form will in fact help prepare our mind and heart to become the environment very much ready for direct thoughts and inspiration. So I think there will be no conflict. The eRearder-eLibrary serves to prepare and lead the student to paperless, gadget-less communication with the Father and the angels.

Franky, Thierry, there are two trend-technologies which I want to master with the kids, namely:
1) the mini mobile computer, a.k.a. laptop, notebook, internet-connected cellular phone, eReader, and other names. But I am most interested in an Internet-Connected eReader containing, but not limited to, the following primary functions:
a. best for reading ebooks
b. OK to download ebooks, etc.
c. OK to upload ebooks, etc.
d. OK to send ebooks, etc.
e. OK to receive sent ebooks, etc.
f. Best for searching topics by index or like a concordance;
Because my vision is: NR and other information/ebooks/e-articles confirming the NR in a PORTABLE DEVICE. Imagine it to be an eLibrary for the NR and NR-confirming news and facts, such as those published at www.mercola.com & www.naturalnews.com, etc.
Franky, Thierry, the paper books NR are too many and too bulky and are too heavy. So, if we can have all the advantages of paper book (such as durability, that it can stand the test of time, water, heat, cold, humidity, even fire, and other elements), then, I go for the PORTABLE Ereader as a LIBRARY of books.
I envision the day where and where we can gift a person a complete package: the NR et al as the software plus the eReader as the hardware or container.
And to add: the eReader may, best of all, be solar powered, and not dependent on electricity, although you can also plug it to any electric outlet.
I wish us and also Coycoy to get involved in this. Maybe Coycoy can help us in this, the Father willing to give us time, beyond 2012!
And this NR eReader & eLibrary (NR eR&L), if that is the most complete name for that project, or maybe we can call that NR e-NCYCLOPEDIA, will also feature a VOICE MODE for blind people like my friend Zaldy in Calape.
I wish to gift him with the NR but he can not read or check it without someone to read it; he is blind.
That’s my vision-wish-desire-prayer Franky.
I have written an email on this subject to our friend Ingo (the German, remember?), and I plan to send it today. But I have been realizing that the contents may best suit to Thierry, although I have been hesitant not to bother Thierry. But to be honest, I consider Thierry the most competent to this idea-project than us. I notice him to be very precise and accurate with computers.
Oh, if Thierry can adopt Coycoy for awhile and let Coycoy be trained over there! That would be frustrated-dream-come-true, because my opportunity to study in Europe did not push through when I refused your offer, remember? I preferred Alturas opportunity.
But I do not want to lose my first born son to the world, and see him use his abilities to the benefit of the businessmen of Babylon. So, I am holding on to a rope that still does not exist Franky, if you get what I mean. I mean, I am still trying to create a personal, customized, learning environment and curriculum for my son, so he can be trained in the NR environment, and not in the world’s school campus, and be prepared for the NR Work, including the hard ware aspect as well as, if possible, even in translation. Coycoy is good in many subjects. In English and Math as well as Science, he is above their class.
Nevertheless, I do not want him to the software, for the sake of the hardware.
By software, I mean: NR, music, arts, where he is doing well.
COYCOY’S HARDWARE & SOFTWARE MISSION:
The eKnowledge Gadget: eLibrary & eReader (eLibReader),
Then the evolved eLibReader-ePublisher
May 20, 2011
Franky,
Greetings!
My taking charge of my bright boys’ personal education and development has already a clear altruistic goal in mind, namely: I want Coycoy and his two younger brothers to actively get involved in the fast evolving niche of IT technology: the eBook Reader or eReader. Although, I do not necessarily mean it will be Coycoy who will succeed doing this; it may be other people. But for the sake of writing down this vision, I use Coycoy to represent that SOMEONE who will be able to do it.
This will be exhaustively explained and discussed here in this email letter.
***
It’s amazing to know, from my internet search yesterday, that although there are now a number of eBook Readers or eReaders, yet so far, there are still two solar-powered eReader or eBook Reader, namely: Toshiba’s Biblio Leaf and LG’s “horse-with-no-name-yet.”
But that is a good development from what we hope it will be.
Franky, I have tried to list the salient features of what we envision to be: the New Revelations books from our Father inside a small portable gadget which we may call eLibreader (an eLibrary and an eReader).
Here are the features:
Feature # 1: Very portable. Size: more or less 6” x 9” like an actual book.
In physical form, it is only in a size and appearance of one book, but inside, in its memory, it contains many books – that is, ebooks. Thus, it can be called MANY-IN-ONE. Many ebooks in one physical metal-plastic book-like container we call eReader or Notebook or laptop, 3rd or 4th Generation Mobile Phone, “Computer-Internet-Cellular-Phone-in-One,” whatever the name be.
So vast its contents, still so great its potential (vast vacant memory space) to accept additional data and information, videos and audios, etc., yet so small its physical size and appearance – it is so portable. It resembles, in many ways, the brain, in that it is small and portable yet holds so vast riches and potential inside!
Feature # 2: Solar-powered
But I hope and I pray that eReader manufacturer will go for solar power, for the main reason that it will be in the open setting of mother Nature, e.g, in the countryside, while you park your car, along a country road, or you walk and sit down under an old oak tree with a vast plain surrounding you, and a back ground of the Rocky mountains range in the horizon, no I’m just imagining and not necessarily knowing, but my point is: for mental efficiency and maximum comprehension per second (MCP), the Reader of the future will love (opt) to read in a setting away from civilization; e.g., in a quiet place, under the shade of a tree, etc. No connection to conventional electricity.
Thus, the need for solar power!
Of course, the inventor would do well to include the electricity feature, where the owner can charge also the eReader at home.
So, it’s going to be Solar-Electric powered.
Feature # 3: First and foremost, an eLibrary
Franky, we are envision of not just ten books inside the eReader but, if possible, as many as the books of ancient Library of Alexandria: 700,000 volumes!
What I mean is that the eReader must have room (memory) to accommodate the volumes of the Father’s New Revelations books, thru Lorber, Mayerhofer, Dudde, and the minor yet equally precious ones from all over the nations.
Firstly, a Library has room for many books. Therefore, this same feature, read: huge memory, should be present in our envisioned eLibrary-eReader or in short, eLibreader.
Secondly, a Library has some wise system of classifying/arranging/placing books. In my own simple manner of arranging the NR books at home in the shelf, I would choose “chronology” my guide. So, this means that “The Household of God” which chronicles the time primordial time until the days of our patriarch precedes “The Childhood of Jesus,” “Twelve Days in the Temple,” “The Great Gospel of Jesus Christ thru John” as what I would like to call the GGJ/NRJC, “The Sermon of the Lord,” then, the books whose time setting must take place in the later centuries, e.g., “Bishop Martin,” “Robert Blum” and so on and so forth.
May the NR eLibrary have this feature as well. Or it can be another category, such as in order of importance where the GGJ/NRJC may be the first in the list.
Thirdly, and this is more important, is the SEARCH/RESEARCH CAPABILITY. It must be powerful, effective and accurate. The Table of Contents, Index, Concordance, Cross Referencing or the “Theme Tree” systems comes to mind.
If we have these three minimum and basic features, then, I think we have a good eLibrary.
Why eLibrary?
One, because the Father’s books are not just three books, but a library, or an enclopedic in volume.
Two, therefore, research and search tasks will be quite comprehensive and difficult. But thanks to electronic speed.
***
The knowledge we are going to gift to a person is not one book, but many books. And it is a unanimous desire of our hearts to gift a friend or a truth seeker a portable gadget, a little bigger than a cellular phone, but is a library of the truest, purest knowledge from heaven!
We must pass the age of empty cellular/mobile phone which only serves as conduit but is not a full container. Our new age gadget should be a vessel – a container, full of true knowledge, truths and wisdom, not an empty skull. The celfone is an empty skull serving an empty world.
Not so in the coming time. The full eLibreader will replace the empty cellular phone.
***
Feature # 4: eReader
A wonderful feature such as to see a virtual page behaves like a real paper which flips (I do not know the more exact word for this) to another page when you want it to go to the next page or when scanned -- you see it virtually turning to the next page! Amazing!
The readability is, however, the most feature and purpose of a eReader.
What do we mean by readability?
To me, it means eye-friendly lighting on the screen. “Green.” “Cool.” Not hurting the eyes. No radiation if possible. Does not cause eye cancer, the growing illness of more number of children nowadays.
The fonts size and even style are adjustable to fit the desire of the reader. So, it probably means bigger font for adult reader, and normal font for young reader with good healthy eyes.
Clarity from high resolution etc. is very important.
Readability can also mean comprehensibility but this seems to refer now to Microsoft Word’s dictionary-thesaurus and even translation features.
That may be also an important part for the reader.
Also the Go-To-Page software feature.
Each book should also have its own search/find feature, Table of Contents feature, or a program that makes its Table of Contents more efficient, more useful. I have blurred idea on this, but one thing perhaps is the hyperlink to the actual chapter. Then, another would be a version of the Table of Contents which is more detailed and more complete. What I mean to this is: We have a “General Table of Contents” (located in page 1) which name or describe the whole chapter in just very few words. Then, we will have a “Detailed Table of Contents” (located at the last page) with a geniusly detailed and complete listing of what the chapter contents. No, it is not a reproduction of the actual contents, but a complete list of say, section title, or paragraph title or paragraph name. I hope I am clear.
One good example of this is the Book of Mormon. There you can find in every chapter, a well-done summary or title or say, subtitles. This detailed title which is actually a list of section or paragraph titles, is not as long as the chapter itself, just a few phrases or clauses.
For example: 1 Nephi, Chapter 14
Date Written: Between 600 and 592 B.C.
An angel tells Nephi of the blessings and cursings to fall upon the Gentiles – There are only two churches: the Church of the Lamb of God and the church of the devil – The saints of God in all nations are persecuted by the great and abominable church – The apostle John shall write concerning the end of the world.
There are 30 long verses in this chapter. But with the help of an exact and complete, detailed chapter title, the reader can have a complete idea of the contents of the whole chapter in just one look.
I hope this is convincing as it is hoped to be also clear, Franky.
But we need a kind of mind who can make such “Detailed Table of Contents” properly, correctly and completely.
In my initial experience of attempting to do that, it helps to consider it as first step to read the whole chapter first, then, discern the sections or sectionize the chapter by topic or thought groups, name that topic or thought group (you may call this section title), and these topic names/ thought group description or section titles, will serve, collected, as the detailed title of the chapter. Just like the example above.
If done well, the “Detailed Table of Contents or Chapter Titles” will serve as search light or guiding light, not deviator of the attention of the reader or confuser of his mind.
There may be other salient features I have overlooked here.
Feature # 5: internet
As minimum capabilities, it can: send and receive ebooks or articles, quotations, etc.; upload and download; search; also sponsor a live chat or econference.
Of course, wireless.
I appear to be talking now of a Notebook or Laptop with the salient features of an eLibrary and eReader.
Is that three in one? INTERNET + eLibrary + eReader.
Plus…
Feature # 6: DURABILITY OF A PAPER BOOK to last for centuries, withstand elements (wind, humidity, water, fire, theft, no, I’m exaggerating!)
But if possible, the eLibreader will be fall-resilient or unbreakable, water-proof, heat-or-fire-proof, and…. guess what? Thief-proof!
It seems I am describing the mind!
I guess so.
Anyway, the eLibreader will not replace the mind, but like an actual library and real paper book, it will help the mind, while it is still learning, assimilating or acquiring… but as soon as what is contained inside the eLibreader is “written” or impressed in the mind, then, the time will have come for the eLibreader to become obsolete.
Can the Father, without interfering with our free will, write or publish or print the whole books into our mind, yes, word for word, with no word or punctuation missing? The mind’s copy exactly like what we can see in an ebook or book?
I wonder.
Still wondering,
Cocoy
P.S. Franky, this idea was born from thinking and from what I consider to be very difficult to carry more than 50 hardbound paper books and present them to a friend as a gift, much less if we talk of him carrying it away from the reach of Authorities who will want to seize it from him! Why not hand him a portable eLibreader as All-Books-In-One-Container? That would be a most precious gift we can give to mankind or to our friends!
May 21, 2011 update
We are not finished Franky,
The next features are for epublishing, whether as a mere sharer of your opinions, participant in internet idea sharing blogs or as an internet publisher of ebooks as well as printed (hard copy) books.
So,
Feature # 6: The eLibreader is also, as its added feature, an eBookmaker.
As eBookmaker, it is someone can write articles in Microsoft Word or similar environment, does editing and layout, then, once ready, set it into an ebook (there are program for that) and finally, seal it into an un-editable mode or read-only mode where nobody can modify it, such as what you get when you convert it into a .pdf file or similar program file converter. I do not know if ebook maker programs have this feature, making conversion to .pdf unnecessary. They must have it.
So, we are not only able to eRead but also eBookmake.
This feature is not for everyone. Many are contented to just read, not write a book. But still it is a good thing to already include this in the gadget. Who knows who can write and when?
Now comes the next question: When we have our own ebook, what are we going to do it?
There’s the proofread by others or the editing by others. The previous case was only self-editing and personal proofreading; you didn’t involve anyone in feature 6.
In the next feature,
Feature # 7: Public EDIT feature - Public proofreading & editing
It is allowing others to chip in or contribute their wisdom. And it will be up to you to adopt their suggestions or not. Therefore, we come to the nice feature promoted and practiced by Wikipedia – where you are allowed to EDIT, that is, type in your proposed changes or addition or deletion, etc. But still the final approval is held by you. You can accept it or reject.
Under this feature, your ebook becomes alive – a living book in the sense that it keeps on growing in size and contents due primarily to the suggestions or ideas contributed by those who have read your ebook.
Of course, this thing can also be done through blog where your bloggers can also put their suggestion for your ebook’s improvement.
So we have more than one method. But the EDIT method used by Wikipedia is more direct. Right?
Feature # 8: eBook Blog
The blog is important in ways that cannot be done by EDIT feature cited above. It is in this blog where the suggester can expound in unlimited words what he has suggested at EDIT feature.
There will be expected much exchange of ideas, justifying perhaps each side, so that the final result may be a well purged ideas, thus, a better built new edition of your ebook.
Feature # 9: eCirculation and eMarketing, yes, ePublishing feature
Here, somebody has come up with a list of outlets of your ebook in two groups: for free circulation and for sale.
We’ll have all of these people or websites that are engaged in free circulation and marketing activities linked to our gadget main program, so that, after an ebook is finished and is deemed to be circulation and/or marketed, all that the ebook author will have to do is press one or two buttons and lo and behold, and presto and voila! his ebook is flying to and fro in the ether being delivered to countless of sites and recipients!
Feature # 10: TETRABLOG - Feedback mechanism, of course.
This should be the same eBook blog feature # 8, but it must have an added capacity to receive higher traffic of angry and appreciative reactions from potentially 6 billions of souls on earth today!
So, it is a kind of TETRABLOG
So, again, the author may find precious nuggets of wisdom not sent through the EDIT mode but sent through here, in this TETRABLOG.
Living books… because they grow.
Feature # 11: AUTOMATIC LINK-CREDIT TO SOURCE feature
Franky, especially because we are not promoting our own Wisdom and Teachings, but those of the Father, I consider this super important, namely: that we also adopt the now-used facility by Yahoo where important words or phrases or names or concepts are automatically hyperlinked to source-material or to source-dictionary, etc.
It is also like the footnote feature or the comment feature or the cross reference feature. Although, in my case as an author, I will not fail (not my intention to fail), to right there and then include the source of every quotation I make. But nevertheless, this feature # 11 is a necessary one because the reader can click the link where he can go and read to prove.
It is like this: I quote the Bible’s John 3:16 word for word and also write the verse number. But there are people who want to go to their own Bible, open it up and see whether it is so and so.
See?
So, in the internet, the location of the source is www.franky1.com (and you better, I strongly suggest, have both downloadable as well as online reading versions. The first one (for download version), you already have, but the second one, we can copy the nice example at www.Jesus4you.net.
More jobs to do, Franky!
And how I wish I can afford not to sleep or not to do other household works and above all, how I wish I will have possessed greater capacity to FAST HELP YOU IN THESE TASKS, but I know that some things are holding me back or slowing down or weakening me. I am watchful of sex as a leak of my physical-mental-spiritual strength. I have made progress, though not much, of letting Vida see God’s perspective on this super-important area. To the point that Vida sometimes would be the one to say, although in still in a lighter manner, Oppps, don’t trust your animal mode, it will make you dull!
I’ve told her about the destiny of semen, if not used, or not allowed to be excreted via sex. It will ripen and turn into ojas which, as I understand it, each atom will become a living vessel or container for both love and wisdom to enter and be stored for future beneficial use. So, these ojas-vessels are distributed to the mind and to the heart. Those delivered to the mind will receive wisdom-thoughts to be stored in the head, while those delivered to the heart will accept love-substances-emotions from Above and will be stored there in the heart for future use.
Therefore, it means to say that THE LESS SEX YOU HAVE WITH YOUR WIFE, THE LESS SEMEN WASTED (unless you’ve used it to procreate a child, which is a GAIN, not a loss/waste), THE MORE WISDOM-LOVE VESSELS (called OJAS) YOU CAN MAKE OUT OF YOUR RIPENED MATURED SEMEN, THE MORE PREPARED ARE YOU TO ASK, RECEIVE AND STORE WISDOM AND LOVE FROM ABOVE, THE MORE FULL YOUR MIND WILL BE WITH WISDOM-POWER AND YOUR HEART WITH LOVE-POWER!
The result: Strong endurant body, powerful and brilliant mind, and strong love in the heart.
This kind of man is the one who can qualify or can have the capacity to do the Word of our Father, such as those I have mentioned here in this eletter.
May the Father help us in our weaknesses. We can not do it without Him.
***
So, I was first talking about a gadget which we can give to friends and clients for their personal education purposes – for the mental and spiritual growth and development of families who are not aided in this by the proliferation the cellular phones, which are mere empty delivery instrument and not a storage of wisdom and knowledge.
We have to more into a better step and replace cellular phone with eBookreader-eLibrary --- eLibreader.
And for those who can, they will have the bookmaking and publishing features included.
What a wonderful world it will be… each family, no, not just that, but possibly every member of the family will have possessed the eLibreader-eBookmakerpublisher!
Not to dull the mind, may I repeat, but to use to sharpen the mind… and cultivate the heart!
Let the Father’s will be done, however. And if this is His will, then, so be it! And let us include this in our focus.
Amen.
Feature # 12: OBSCENITY SCREENING
Righteous inventor-developer can and will place a screening program module to intercept obscene messages and videos and prevent them from entering. The eLRMP program will reject them automatically, and also delete them automatically inside the hard disk, if recorded manually. So The eLexandrian eLibrary/ eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher) will be clean and will be a true tool for moral-spiritual upliftment for all nations and mankind.
WHENFEASIBILITY OF THE eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher)
As fully evolved, if not fully perfected (as some new feature may be added), it will be called eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher), including the so-far identified features of this super knowledge gadget, the best peripheral and aid for the mind.
The eLRMP has a time for its relevance and a time when it will no longer be necessary – obsolete.
When is it to be very feasible, very much needed? What is its whenfeasibility?
I do not delay to answer: TODAY!
“TODAY” means a certain period of time which I must say should start today or as soon as possible or must have already started. This is the period that I refer to as ‘Today”.
Reasons and proofs why TODAY is the most appropriate time for eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher):
1. To aid internet in reaching to people and families and individuals. The internet reach is limited to those who are computer savvy, e.g., the professionals. We are not reaching the vast number who have cellphones but no internet connection or interest.
2. To reach people and families who do not have access or very little access to internet
3. To make the contents, the NR above all, always available to the family for unlimited reading and searching and other use; internet is for fee, thus, reading is costly, which reason alone will make reading of the NR not affordable; thus, the purpose of allowing people read the bulk of the NR is defeated.
4. To preempt or meet the plan of the cell phone developers, namely: cell phone that can download and store ebooks. This is it! The eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher)!
5. To outwit the Establishment and Power-That-Be who are in full control of other mass media, e.g., radio, TV, newspaper, publishing, etc.
6. To outrun them. They are now moving to take full control or censure the internet, as well as the mobile technology (cellular phone). We must overtake them by distributing eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher) to individual families, thus, making the Library of the Father available to them.
7. This eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher) is one of the powerful weapons in our war of words, will and wits to win the love and hearts of the people to God and away from false gods and idols. WE are now in the 6th Plague called Armageddon – a battle for souls using all kinds of mass media or knowledge media, etc. to win souls.
8. If the eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher) will be powerfully distributed to the critical mass (persons who have the potential to teach and lead their family members and clans and organizations), then, to the remaining masses, then this will help fulfill the verse on EXPOSING ALL WORKS TO DARKNESS TO FUL SUNLIGHT THUS, CAUSING THEIR PROPONENTS TO SCREAM: “Stones, caves, cover us!”
Rev 6:14 [niv]The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
[kjv]And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Rev 6:15 [niv]Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
[kjv]And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Rev 6:16 [niv]They called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!
[kjv]And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Rev 6:17 [niv]For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?"
[kjv]For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
This is not a Judgment Day of blind vengeance from the One who said, “Forgive and avenge not, For vengeance is Mine.”
Remember, He is a God of love and mercy, first and foremost. Therefore, this last Day or the Day of the Lord or the Wrath of the Lamb is not something that will slaughter the vast majority of the sinners, culprits, offenders, oppressors who are also partly or mainly deceived and blinded!!
If you look at your President, the men occupying the seats in Congress or Senate, or your provincial and local officials, some of them are your relatives and friends,
Feature # 13: MAXIMUM CAPABILITY TO INTERACT & NETWORK & OPERATE IN A MOST COVERT WAY
May 22, 2011
Dearest Franky,
Is there somebody out there who has the greater capacity and opportunity to list down all websites and emails of all light workers and truth seekers where we can maximize our exchange of information, or, better: that we can evolve into a close-knit impenetrable invincible network?
This means we need to have a list of all websites which function like www.scribd.com whereby we can post our thoughts, share information, and above all, post and share God’s thoughts, instructions and messages.
To be more encouraged, each Light worker must be informed, has access to what the other is doing, the messages he is receiving from our Boss above. This may still require the posting of information via the internet.
When the eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher) gadget comes into being, I also suggest that we create another frequency not dependent on their towers and repeaters, so we can operate and do our communications as well as work more subtly.
We will be the too secret – too covert -- and too fast for them to find out and catch up!
Under the present system, where we are using their communication facilities and frequencies, which makes us under their scrutiny, thus, vulnerable, I am not so comfortable and we may not be able to fully express ourselves. In a sense, we are at their mercy, to some extent.
We need to locate the frequency by which we can communicate freely, operate more effectively in our job to reach out the last ignorant person with the full, not partial, light, if possible, and which the enemy can not detect.
For the moment, more blogs or yahoo groups or e-conference sites must be launched and located and made known to every light worker so there will be exchange of information, ideas, strategies and encouragement.
Our eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher) gadget must be superb in locating, grouping and mobilizing all Truth seekers and Light workers, allowing all to know each other, aid each other, help each other, support each other for maximum SYNERGY. Thus, ONE-FOR-ALL, ALL-FOR-ONE.
What is that gadget? The mind-heart of course, but, if there is a fully evolved electronic gadget to aid us in this 3D physical world, to serve as the mind-heart’s best instrument and servant, then, so be it! And let it be!
It will not be something else, but the already known computer, only in its most evolved and perfected state to be most useful for the Divine Purpose of delivering the Truth to the poorest of the poor, making even physical blindness like that of Zaldy not a hindrance, never making price a factor to hinder for it will be very cheap – even free, and never fearing discovery for it travels in very covert high ways and channels of light waves still unknown to the world’s communication engineers, and beyond detection by those in control of conventional mass media and communication facilities!
We have been disadvantaged. They have been holding the advantage of having their god the Prince of the Power of the Air (mass communication). And so Truth could not advance, could not be delivered.
Now should be our turn. Some Light Workers must be the world’s greatest computer-internet-communication wizards and savvies. Let them take the charge!
For the Father’s Love be fulfilled,
Cocoy

Feature # 14: eReader that can be connected to an Overhead Projector or Wide Screen and with a Speaker
June 14, 2011
Dearest Franky and Thierry,
One good thing with a 6”x9” eReader is obvious: you can read it alone. And you can hide it or run away with it…not to get caught by persecuting authorities!?
Now, what about if you live in a freer world? Where the authorities are tolerant?
Well, the whole family may like to read simultaneously with you! Or even hear it read by the computer! So, what the next feature of this gadget?
Answer: IT CAN BE HOOKED TO A PROJECTOR OR WIDE SCREEN FOR PUBLIC OR WHOLE FAMILY VIEWING and even more, you can click a button and presto! It is read by the computer!
This is going to be exciting!
Can’t wait to see this,
Cocoy

MAKING OUR COMPUTER “OFFLINE” AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
June 28, 2011
In chapter 5 of The Cosmos of the Soul, by Patricia Cori, our Sirian elders are cautioning us of the danger of communication technology: from radio, TV and now the computer-internet, as tool of mass-mind-control and mass-slavery by the Annunaki descendants who rule the world today.
At first, I wish to take exception with the offline computer and partly even online computer (internet), and only ascribe the failure of usefulness (meaning: they have become instruments of ill use) only to the radio and TV.
But that is denial of the fact. For, before the NR people made certain control or use of the internet, the porno folks and the liars and manipulators had already made advances and gains in the use of internet for their wicked purposes, and they are not going to slow down!... which means a challenge for us to charge more forcefully for the kingdom’s victory!
Therefore, I am strongly urging the 144,000 brotherhood to please give fulfillment to the “eLexandrian eLibrary eReader” project. With this emphasis: it must be mostly “offline.” Thus, the contents, if there are still many online as ebooks, must be quickly copied to the CD/Hard disk, so that these can be installed/copied to the individual eReader, part of the eLexandrian eLibrary, which the eReader owner can read offline, anytime. Again, we will only go offline if there is (1) some ebook to download; (2) emails and communications from friends; (3) important chat or e-conference; (4) upload, or share some information, send some emails, and the likes. Afterwards, our internet connection immediately must be disconnected.
To defeat them who are increasing their internet control, let it be more offline! Or can function independently – can be used by the eReader owner for his own learning and development and awakening almost always offline! He will only go online if he wants to download important ebooks, articles or emails, and also to connect to the brethren, and also to circulate/share messages via the internet. After that: offline, as often as possible!

PREPARING TO GO OFFLINE
July 1, 2011
2:28 a.m.
Franky,
Good a.m.
Already finished with No More Secrets, No More Lies, I have been strutting between The Cosmos of Soul and Atlantis Rising.
Full of information which discloses many things kept from our views so they can keep us enslaved and dead, physically and spiritually. The information is very empowering.
Franky, if Dr. Mercola and Mike Adams are not yet in possession of these Trilogy, please kindly refer the books to them, so they can also disseminate the spiritual aspect of the knowledge that they have so convincingly circulated in its medical aspect.
Also, I have something to request to you regarding the idea of making our computers more offline as the Powers-That-Be increases their control over internet.
The information and articles I have received and also researched from www.mercola.com as well as www.naturalnews.com and similar websites, I have copied to my hard disk. Thus, offline.
My vision is to come up with a collection which I call:
“EschatosAionPaideia - Last Age Encyclopedia TEXTS”
Eschatos – Latin for “Last”
Aion – Latin for “Age”
Paideia – Latin for “Idea” or “Knowledge”; shortened form for the word “Encyclopedia,” where “encyclo” meaning “all’.
Hence, Last Age Encyclopedia.
I plan to edit every article which is mostly in .htm or .html format to remove the ads and other less necessary graphics but I intend not to remove the source logo, so the reader can or may check it in the source website, e.g., www.mercola.com
In other words, I am making my copies as mirror of the original, as well as a point as in additional, I will add or write the website of the source at the end of every edited article.
One advantage to my removing of less necessary graphics is the saving of disk space in our computer. But I will be selective because there are product ads and ebooks advertised which are useful to the reader.
Anyway, whatever is most beneficial, I will do.
Now, I thank you for the information in videos/mp3 that you have sent. I classify them as 2 - EschatosAionPaideia - Last Age Encyclopedia VIDEOS
Hope this will continue to grow and updated. Say, have a 2011 edition or update.
Now, about
1 - EschatosAionPaideia - Last Age Encyclopedia TEXTS
This is my request to you: I know you have plenty of the articles too. You could do the copying and downloading faster than I could ever do, since you are online 24 hours a day and your computer is very fast.
Now, we need the online articles to be copied into our computers so that when time comes that WE MUST GO OFFLINE, WE HAVE THEM INTACT IN OUR COMPUTERS.
What is more important: WE MUST INCLUDE THEM IN OUR ENVISIONED eLexandrian eLibrary-eReader.
To be distributed to the members of God’s Camp.
It shall contain all topics.
In my hard disk, these are in folders. Each folder is one topic. For example: Radiation.
This is a great job Franky: collecting all information from as many websites as possible. This is going to be very enormous, but it seems that Time and Science is on our side lending us help by making tetra-byte hard disks or memory.
I am particularly astonished with the prospect of making a Cell-DNA-based memory. Ms Cori wrote that a cubic centimeter of DNA can house an enormous amount of information equivalent to 900 billions of CDs!
Of course, that is to be inside us, not outside us, not external memory. But that also shows the potential of outside-us memory such as the silicon memory of the computer. It is going to be beyond tetra bytes!
We shall still need the external memory to read or access and use in writing the same information into our mind which, I assume, will need the DNAs as extension memories. So the memory is not only in the brain, it is in the mind which is the soul which is a whole body, not just brain-sized or in-the-brain-only.
Anyone out there who has a super fast computer, and who has a 24-hour access to the internet, and have the time to do better what I have been doing in a turtle pace as well as inferiorly?
I encourage the brothers to do this in behalf of not only me, but of all future, soon-in-need of offline information, when the Powers-That-Be takes over the control of the internet.
We also need the software program to convert these our by-topic-folders into Encarta type feature which seals the folders and contents from the reader to prevent harmful editing, and to make all folders packed in one so that the whole thing can be zipped or installed not as separate folder, which is very time consuming, but as one whole product.
It will be many-folders-in-one-pack sort of thing.
Or there is another way of packing it: REMOVE ALL FOLDERS, PUT THEM INTO ONE FOLDERS, ALL ARTICLES IN ONE FOLDER, BUT EACH TITLE/FILENAME WILL SERVE AS OUR GUIDE TO MAKE A GENERAL TABLE OF CONTENTS, AND ALSO ALLOW HYPERLINK SUCH AS BY ADDING/PLACING ‘RELATED ARTICLES’ AT THE END OF EACH ARTICLE. CROSS REFERENCING, I GUESS.
Also there will be a Search within the folder.
Or it can be a whole one page like in the internet, so searching can be quick and easy. I do not know exactly the best way.
Can Thierry consider making it appear like the Microsoft Encarta or the Wikipedia?
Yeah, it is DIGITAL LIBRARY indeed, having a DIGITAL INDEXING-SEARCH SYSTEM, etc.
Most of us are familiar with the conventional/manual library. Well, we are just wanting to digitalized the system for quick search and reading… and as already forewarned,
OFFLINE soon!
I know this is now a concern among the brethren. So I am just adding my voice to yours/theirs!
May someone be able to do this. Or perhaps Dr Mercola can come up with a “MERCOLA ARCHIVES,” Mike Adams with “NATURAL NEWS ARCHIVES” and just update them on a monthly basis so we will have them as JULY 2011 EDITION, AUGUST 2011 EDITION, etc.
Then, someone will collect them and install them into the eLibrary-eReader.
The discoveries are not perfect, but they are catching up, and serving as testimonies for, not against, the already revealed truths.
They, therefore, serve as confirmers of the God-revealed truths. And to man, who wants to see to believe, they are powerful aid to developing a seeing faith.
For those of us who are more humble and ascribe to the saying “To believe is to see” these will also strengthen our faith in and love for our God.
More power from the Father’s love to all of us!
In brotherly love,
Your poor and far away friend,
Cocoy

The software aspect – the eBook aspect
Vision: The eBook of the Future
November 4, 2011
Appreciation and Suggestion to Microsoft
PRAISE, APPRECIATION AND GRATITUDE FIRST
You have done well with the conversion to Adobe Reader. Thank you and Congratulations for incorporating the “save as pdf” feature. We love it. We save time shifting to different program such as PDF 995.
By the way, we appreciate also the removal of separate files of html and making it a one-file web page (mhtml).
NOW THE SUGGESTIONS:
Consolidate Word, PowerPoint and Moviemaker/Nero
Kindly place in MS Word a “Save As” Powerpoint or Movie
or “Convert Into” Powerpoint or Movie
and then “Save Into Data CD/DVD”
or “Save Into universally CD/DVD Players Compatible format”!
In this way, we will have move Microsoft Word to the higher level. It is now Microsoft Texts, Pictures and Videos. The all-in-one tool for making eBooks containing text documents, pictures, Power Point features and videos. This is not possible for paper book. But this is the way for eBook: Texts, audios (text readings, sounds, music), pictures and/or videos.
The www.mercola.com webpage is able to do this. Text + pictures + audios/MP3s + videos.
Can we do it for eReader or eBook?
To copy the mercola webpage to function as eBook? Offline. Not connected to the internet.
****
Okay, Microsoft Word has Insert Object- Powerpoint file feature. This may functions similar to Convert as PowerPoint, plus the inconvenience to shift to Word and Powerpoint to and fro, not like if we have “Save as PowerPoint” option inside MS Word.
I hurriedly took a look at the Insert-Object menu of this MS Word 2010. There is no option or capacity for MP4 or Moviemaker’s file to get inserted, nor for what I have suggested as “Convert MS Word document into MP4” with all its audios/sounds/music, videos, power point text presentations styles, etc.”
***
The Window’s feature to “Save Into data CD/DVD” or “Save Into audio and video CD/DVD” or to combine the two, “Save Into Universal CD/DVD format” which means both playable in computer format and CD/DVD players.
This feature is most urgently suggested to be also included in this newly enhanced/expanded MS Word.
Since it will be an integration of texts, audios, (still) pictures, and videos (moving pictures with audios), let Microsoft Word be renamed: Microsoft Word-MP4 or Microsoft Text-Picture-Video or
Thereby making it the All-in-One complete tool for the future eBook
Which shall contain all features and capabilities: 1) texts/lyrics; audios/music/sounds, 2) still pictures, 3) videos.
This is the way for eBooks.
And let Microsoft Word be the appropriate all-in-on tool for it.
This may be a big task or can be as easy as what you have already done with making it possible to operate Paint inside Word.
O yeah, let this new enhancement also include Paint or better the more excellent Adobe Photoshoppe!
I am writing and thinking from the perspective of the future writer who will be incorporating texts, audios and pictures and movies into no longer a simple article but the future eBook!
****
NERO has excellent features and arranged in a very understandable orderly manner. No tendency to get lost. Can we follow Nero’s ORDERLINESS and COMPLETENESS?
The arrangement/presentation in Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center is scattered and confusing, and lacking in sequence. Nero is best and seems to be most complete. WMP/WMC seem to get lost in the forest (lots of trees); you lost the perspective.
Allow Microsoft Word document (especially the outline or headings or the Table of Contents portions) to be converted or “save as” Power Point document for illustration and presentation purposes
We wish to make a presentation composed of texts, pictures and videos using Microsoft Word.
Can we do it soon?
Kindly equip it with the “Electronically Read it loudly while the texts runs in the screen” feature. This is useful for us who don’t know how to read properly or whose voice is not nice.
Can you make it as additional features or enhancements to the existing 2010 version?
Downloadable from the internet?
What I am trying to say is this: We will be able to perform the wonderful features of Nero (at least the 9 essentials) from the platform of Microsoft Word!
So that we will not have to shift to Nero or Moviemaker but stay at Microsoft Word.
First, this applies for converting documents to pdf or epub etc.
This applies for converting Microsoft Word documents into MP4 (texts + pictures or images + audio in the form of reading aloud the texts or background music/sounds + videos)
Finally, this applies to saving into CD/DVD readable both in computer and CD/DVD players.
Final Note: The thoughts in this article may not be so perfectly arranged. It is up to you to get the whole point, namely: what we want to find in the eBook of the Future, complete with all useful features, especially the major features.
Again, start from the perspective of an ordinary document writer wishing to write the eBook of the Future!
Good luck!
Email: cocoy777@yahoo.com
Other good features may include the capacity to receive, edit responses or comments from readers from anywhere in the world, thus, making our ebook inter-active and alive. But this is only possible if you make your ebook online, internet-connected thus, alive or inter-active.

VISION: NEW REVELATIONS BOOKS INSIDE ELECTRONIC AND SPIRITUAL CHIP
11/11/11
Dear Franky & Thierry,
Happy 11.11.11!
May the Spirit of the Father awaken the inner love in all of us and enlighten our soul towards true liberty, true liberty, true freedom.
Freedom from the false laws, freedom to know and live by the true law of Love. Freedom to love, freedom to be loved.
Freedom from all pains, freedom from all sorrows.
The bulky NR books in chip
I’ve just brooded on an interesting thought and vision: I SAW ALL THE BOOKS OF THE FATHER, THE NEW REVELATION, PLACED IN A SMALL CHIP, WHETHER THAT IS A METAL OR MADE OF SPIRITUAL MATERIAL I CANNOT TELL, BUT THE CHIP IS BEING MADE FREE FOR THE ASKING. IT IS ‘DOWNLOADABLE’ SO TO SPEAK, MEANING: CAN BE SWALLOWED AND BECOME PART OF THE SWALLOWER, RESIDING IN THE MOST CENTER PART OF HIS BEING.
Wow! That’s nice!
And the ability to retrieve any information is superb. And the ability to search and get the most precise verse and chapter is equally superb.
It is opposite to today, in my case. I have been trying to swallow the Word of God, verse by verse, chapter by chapter, book by book, but how much of it that I was able to digest? How deep of it? How wide of it? For sure it is not as deep and as wide and profound as it can be. For much is forgotten or not fully understood.
I wish that like the computer, all is intact, nothing gone to recycling bin, the files are there, and the search engine of our spirit is powerful.
I wish that soon the computer will no longer be needed because the chip will have been downloaded into the center of our being.
*****
If that will not yet be granted until something in the electronics aspect also happens, then, I would wish also that a computer chip will be invented or manufactured to contain all the NR and be given a gift to all mankind with an eReader. So that, it will no longer be in volumes of heavy paper books, much less than a hard disk, but inside a very small chip, which can be put inside a small cellular phone or a small eReader!
No man will at last argue that he gives a price to God’s Word because it costs him so much. It will surely be free. Because if such a chip will be still made of cheap and ubiquitous silicon, then, like the DVD, it will cost only as little as P10.00!
And if still the Father requires the effort and diligent of His child to “eat” it little by little (that is, acquire it by reading and study and memorizing), instead of swallowing it at once, then, may the electronic silicon chip become a reality.
May that come.
But for those who have already proven their love and diligence, will the Father deny the corresponding spiritual chip containing the books from being downloaded to the deserving recipient?
May that come, as well.
Praise be the Father Whose Work it is!
In the Father’s Love,
Cocoy

ELECTRONICS SKILL
For his basic electronics, we need to have the tester, solder, etc. We also need computer parts so he can work at dismantling and assembling computers.
I have already downloaded some ebooks on basic electronics. If possible, can you secure a second hand eReader for him to destroy and repair, etc.?
He also must work with the PC and the CP (cellphone). We have them. He also needs to go deeper into every part: AVR, power supply, keyboard, mouse, monitor, hard disk, mother board, video card, AVR, CPU, fan, the disk drives, DVD drives, the speakers, etc.
I want him to go deeper into the diode, resistors, etc. He needs to learn to trouble shoot and to repair. Or even to do even more than that… so he can invent or make innovations.
But I do not know how he is going to put the following in his daily schedule: gardening, computer hardware, the software (arts, music, etc.)
As far as software is concerned, I do not like him to go so deep in programming. WEB design, maybe, but for deeper programming languages, I do not yet know. It is very time-requiring. You may not have time for other things, if you go serious programming. I tried doing that, but my inclination towards peopleware prevented me from going into software programming and hardware.
Hay, I still am not crystal clear about my boy.
But I admit, his prevailing interests are: computer especially games, then, arts/paintings, then music.
He finds thrill in the games.

VERSUS COMPUTER GAMES & BAD MUSIC
But I have already lectured him about the danger of the effect of most games: killer-trait, training your mind for war and murder.
But I did not say war or battle is totally wrong. I pointed to him the right battle is not against people or fellow creation but versus sinful thoughts and feelings. We must love the sinners but hate the sins, I used to remind him.
He is now narrowing his choice of games. He plays the games against ghosts, vampires, etc.
But still I told him not to give in to his desire for games, but to concentrate on more important things: garden, arts, music, any activity which can enable us to give love to our fellowmen.
I realize guidance is very important for the kids especially this tool called computer-internet.
Also with the music, I am strict. I let them think, not just blindly following the general public pulse and feeling, to determine what is good music to God, not to us, as we must “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven”.
So, the kids are one in their desire to screening songs/music, although not perfectly yet.
I want to see them give expression to the NR via music, arts, not to mention through the physical bread in the bakery. I also want them, especially the girls to bake bread and cakes of life, no longer containing the poison-disabilitating chemicals.
Nice that I mention about bread.
[back to Topic Contents]
WHERE SHALL I APPRENTICE COYCOY?
Yes, the question: If I want to actualize his practice, I need to find a real business or work where he can apprentice.
Arts/painting – where?
Music – where?
I need to find or establish my own businesses where he can do real work using is talents. Shall I therefore establish or start my business mainly to make use of his talents?
For arts/painting, I can start my emagazine. I can also start the business to sell his artworks. And we can also post is artworks at YouTube.
For music, concert will help. Posting at YouTube can also help.
The presence and growth of my kids, makes me desirous to establish the business ideas that I have long kept inside me. I may not need to get good profit from these, but I am more desirous to start them so the kids shall have an actual practice of their skills and talents.
For example, the ARTS & PAINTING BUSINESS. We have the internet to serve as our marketing tool. So we can sell online. We can also place Coycoy’s drawings and paintings in the bakery, one at a time, in a manner that it will be well-displayed for people to notice and see. I have also a few friends who have stalls to display Coycoy’s work. Yes, selling and marketing may not prove to be expensive and can be started immediately with a little expenses on our part.
First, we will spend for quality materials, e.g., good kind of cloth for canvass, use better paint, have a nice frame, if possible with mirror, then, you have it!
If Coycoy’s production will be very fast, then, there is the YouTube he can use as display center. Or he can also use the unlimited outlet, namely: free gifts to friends and loved ones! That is an unlimited outlet! He, he, what about the expenses of materials if we will make them free much of the time!!?? So, there has to be some balanced. But if Coycoy will use the computer to paint, and thus no expenses for physical material, and spend only for the electricity of the computer, then, that’s it! Sky is the limit!
Well, that’s it.
Unlimited riches. Talents.
Hmmm, never realize that before… when I was still a kid. How I regret for not knowing. I was really nice in drawing, modesty aside. Well, that is gone now. Well, there is still some remnant of it. The boys still tell me I draw nicely. But I have not enough time for it now, the sun is setting for me in that; it is for the young boys… well, maybe some of the time I can bath myself in some moments in drawing as if I am still that little boy I was…
I also take stolen time to play the keyboard. But this is only for feeling, not for entertaining people….
My talents are indeed not developed. I have not the opportunities I have in mind to give to the kids. I will fulfill my potential in the kids. They are me, so to speak.
So, dear brothers of mine, if you think of me, think of the kids too. I mean, you can gift them tools and materials for their talents. I saw Vida and the girls felt joy every time you sent things for baking etc.
Maybe I will list some of the needs and send you, so you can select from the list what you want to give them.
For the moment, Coycoy needs a set of screw drivers, a tester, a soldering gun, for his electronics training. Our next problem is the computer unit to use as his practice material.
WORKING ROOM
Lastly, by the way, if you decide to finish the room up in the building to serve as our working place (me and Coycoy), may I suggest that we buy the molave tree (the sturdiest lumber in our place) of my uncle. It’s over 60 years old. About 8 feet high for the straight trunk. They are to cut it anyway because they are going to sell their land to a foreigner. The tree is not included in the purchase. My uncle is selling it for P1,500. I want to have it P1,600 so he will prefer me to buy it. The sawing will be P60 per board foot. We may need another P1,500 for the sawing. We can use the molave lumber as a 2 x 5 inches window jam, etc. There will be other uses for the excess lumber, after the window jams are served. We will need to make tables. Anyway, we can prefer to buy, if we only talk of the specific wood needs of the room only; but if we talk about all the window jams all over the building, and all the lacking door jams (we have molave door jams already for two or three main doors; they are kept inside the locker room), then, the idea of buying the old trees seems to be prudent.
What gives me the desire to buy the trees is the fact that old trees are very rare nowadays and also because the cutting of these trees are a kind of compulsory in the part of my uncle, then, the price is quite low! We may not need now the extra lumbers, but in the near future, we will.
By the way, I do not understand my self: My heart and mind keep on desiring and planning big as if I do not know the nearness of 2012. All I am doing is just keep on planning out of love – keep loving, keep doing what love enlightens my mind to say or do. If this can help assuage the Judgment or lessen the calamities, then, I will keep dreaming, desiring, planning, talking, praising, describing, DIVINE LOVE TO PEOPLE, if by this, their heart will also awaken to DIVINE LOVE, thus reverberates and palpitates again towards their true God, Father and Creator, thus, will make Judgment less severe, thus, making 2012 pass peacefully, without calamities.!
***
Franky, Thierry, although my mentioning of the expenses also makes me “spin”. So many expenses, needs. I do not want to impoverish you nor to let any amount wasted. If I were to have my way and desire, I would want to have my capacity restored first, and this is mainly through the flour mill because we have already the bakery business established and running and so much of the required tools, equipment, manpower, yes, the whole infrastructure, the hardware, software, people, whatever resources, are more or less present – we only need the flour mill machine. We only now have the wood-fueled oven which is now starting to give us some savings from no longer using the LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) which costs P900 per tank of 11 kilos. The gas is two days use; hence, P450.00 a day. Compare that to wood fuel, P120.00 a day we use in Jagna. So, we save P330.00 a day. If we our expenses for debt and for the family do not increase, then, it’s going to help us reach a zero debt state. But this is for the Jagna bakery where Hilda is demanding now to receive her profit share per month so she can cope up with her growing loan spent for the Jagna bakery stall.
I have also began to worry about the fact that in the LPG-fueled oven, the oven is inside the oven, and the smoke of the burning LPG is goes up directly to the dough above, thus, into the bread being baked. If we take note of the new information about the toxicity of the petroleum products such as gasoline, then, questions begin to rise about the safety of our bread baked inside this kind of LPG-fueled and thus LPG-penetrated-and-laced bread!!
So, the firewood, taken from the branches, not big tree trunks, of trees, will become a better alternative. In Badbad, we will construct a clay oven, to be fueled by coconut shell, or coconut charcoal, or rice husks. Also fire wood.
This too will become an additional feature of how safe and healthy and wholesome will be our BREAD OF PHYSICAL LIFE, to distinguish it from the BIBLICAL BREAD OF LIFE, which is spiritual.

eLRMP to defeat GITWaK - LeToThWroWK
eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher) to defeat
GITWaK (Gets-In-The-Way-Knowledge) &
LeToThWroWK (LEAD-TO-THE-WRONG-WAY KNOWLEDGE)
THE GETS-IN-THE-WAY KNOWLEDGE
May 26, 2011
Franky,
I decided to let Ritchie, our neighbor “electronicsian” to repair the camcorder for less than P500, I guess. The charge will be finally known today. Today I will go to Tagbilaran to get it, after I gave it to him a few days ago.
Ritchie is a professor now in Bohol Island State University (BISU), the former Bohol Science, Arts & Trade School (BSAT) which became a sensation in the field of education here in the Philippines in the early 1990s when BSAT won national recognition for being the best in preparing education-skill-talent to match actual jobs, or in other words, in giving theory and training that most closely match or resemble to the real work once the graduates would be hired in different business, industries or employment.
For in the Philippines, starting from our textbooks which were often sourced (extracted) from the USA, the gap between theory and reality is as heaven is distant from earth!
The theories or topics or details being discussed, say, in our engineering or biochemistry textbooks cannot be understood or retained in our memory because we did not have the CAPACITY FOR ACTUALIZATION, e.g., laboratory, tools, equipment, not even a microscope to help us see what a cell looks like. The picture of a cell in the book helps a little but far from enough.
They might say, Oh, the Philippines have great textbooks, because these were taken or sourced from the greatest nation of the world, the USA!
But little did they know and little did our people realize that such discussion and lessons in chemistry, no matter how profound, would lead to oblivion because we lack practice, workshop, laboratory works or experimentation all of which could aid understanding, retention, and then useful application and use, and then even to innovation and invention.
The whole post-WW II generations of Filipinos starting from 1945 up to the present (2011 onwards), when the Americans became our ally and new colonizer replacing the Japanese, after WW II, WE WERE TAUGHT THEORIES WHICH LACKED PRACTICE.
I would safely say, the theories comprised 80 - 90% and practice only 10 – 20 %.
I base that in the sample US-inspired textbooks in engineering, accounting and science etc which, we calculated, were 80 to 90% un-applicable to our very agricultural and rural, laboratory-less, shop-less country.
I do not say the theories are false or the knowledge written in these textbooks are absolutely useless; for they have been used in the US in their scientific and technological advancement and in their industries.
What I do say is that THESE KNOWLEDGE (texts, pictures) ABOUT MICROSCOPE, ABOUT CELLS, ABOUT VIRUS, ABOUT ATOMS, etc, etc, how can these be put to use in our scientifically and technologically backward country?
What purpose had these bulk of theory in Biology, Chemistry, Physics served? What benefit? As introduction to the hidden knowledge which the Scientists have unearthed?
I am sad and disappointed to say that apart from lexicon-ical or lexical (name-only, nominal) benefit (you heard the name ‘cell’, right, or in religion, you heard the name ‘Jesus’, right?), the rest are disadvantages, to wit:
1. these theories got in the way. So I call that GITWAK (Gets-In-The-Way-Knowledge), is first a nuisance! It is like an unwelcome guy who interrupts the life of a couple in love. When the husband calls his beloved wife, this guy is in a party line, listening and even interrupting their conversation. When the husband fetches his wife in the office, there the same guy and his car is in the way, also persuading the woman to follow her instead. During love-making at night, great commotion occurs because all of a sudden that adult guy appears between the two, and he is a baby!
Funny, but seriously, what task, what accomplishment, what happiness, what advancement can be done if like this phantom in our story, this THEORY EDUCATION gets in the way, that is, USED UP THE PRECIOUS TIME AND YEARS OF OUR CHILDREN AND STUDENTS?
How could our students and people time-concentrate, mind-focus on studies that they need to become productive organic farmers, livestock raisers, skilled carpenters, works which have been considered by others as lowly but the ones which are honest and love-fortifying?
I do not opt to reject one for the other. Knowing the hidden world of cells, atoms, electro-magnetic forces, etc, etc, which Science discovered and unveils to our eyes, is not wrong per se.
To me, what is wrong lies in two points: First, severely lacking portion of knowledge which we may call “CREDIT IT TO GOD.”
Meaning: there is no grateful acknowledgement that what we are coming to comprehend though in only a slight manner, is the secrets of Creation of a Wise and Loving Creator. This introduction would have led us to a happy and grateful attitude towards the Creator and to a respectful and caring mood towards the Creation, thus, we would not have become proud ingratos who whipped with a harmful hand the tenderness of Creation, thus, the environment degredation and destruction all over and all around us!
It is now clear, as being told in advance by the apostle Paul in Romans 1 (New Testament), that the purpose of these GITWaK (Gets-In-The-Way-Knowledge) textbooks or this type of education was to mis-direct – to mislead – let’s call the LeToThWroWK (LEAD-TO-THE-WRONG-WAY KNOWLEDGE) rather than to completely and fully educate.
So we, Filipinos, do not now recognize in our minds God Jehovah as our Creator and love in our hearts God Jehovah as our Father. We, Catholic Filipinos, love another father – the pope and the local priest! We were LeToThWroWKed to the wrong and false father. Jesus, told us however, “You shall not have other father; for you have only True Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 23).
This is the great tragedy of the time. The “woman” (I’m referring to the Church, the priesthood in their capacity as teachers, nurturers) – this spiritual mother was the first to turn unfaithful to her husband, Jesus-Jehovah. And she led her children to recognize and love another man – her man – his name: pope! And there is still another man – a local one – the priest!
So, this woman has at least two paramours - one is international, the other is local. She is the first to apply the fad-word ‘glocal’ (global + local).
This woman, who tragically turned unfaithful to her husband, let and lets the other guy or guys get in the way!
The spiritual result is very bad: WE, CHILDREN, DO NOT KNOW THE TRUE FATHER!
For we were introduced to the false father, the step-father!
So, we were introduced, or rather given, a knowledge which has two characteristics, to wit:
• GITWaK (Gets-In-The-Way-Knowledge)
• LeToThWroWK (LEAD-TO-THE-WRONG-WAY KNOWLEDGE)
Therefore, we, the children, need an OVERHAULING – A TOTAL RE-ORIENTATION - a whole lot of time – a long lifetime to start to get to know the real Father.
The Father and Lord Jesus once said in the NR, that it is better not to have heard or known the name Jesus or Jehovah at all, than to “mis-know” it. I do not exactly know why but I guess the reason has something to do with the difficulty to unlearn as for adults than to start zero or with a blank mind like that of a child!
This is how bad is the FALSIFIED OR MANIPULATED EDUCATION THAT GETS IN THE WAY! The “Gets-In-the-Way Knowledge” (GITWAK) whose purpose is not to educate but (a) to prevent the true knowledge from getting in or from being known, (b) to mislead, misdirect, divert the attention of the students or people away from the true God-Creator and Father! A LeToThWroWK (LEAD-TO-THE-WRONG-WAY KNOWLEDGE)!
***
Franky, we need a tool and I refer to the entire NR to let the children of God – yes, all people – (1) to start to know and come to fully know the true Father, which is also leading to (2) know the impostor father!!
This spiritual knowledge is the “star of the show” in our envisioned gadget which will contain all the NR books.
Why the all-NRbooks-in-one-portable gadget which I call eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher) is useful and important?
For two reasons:
a To overcome the present overwhelming oppression by the Powers-that-be; this Knowledge About the True Father, which the entire NR is all about, cannot be publicly distributed, it is not acknowledged by journalists, radio broadcasters, TV hosts, by any person who mans a mass media. Only the internet is giving a fair chance.
b To serve as a very portable, intact and complete study and teaching tool for them who have already accepted the New Revelations.
Franky, time is coming when the NR will be publicly accepted and will even replace the books in the public libraries! This is the time when people of all ages and walks of life will flock to the libraries to read and discuss the NR which we dub “Knowledge Of-About-and-From the True Father” (KoafTF).
The eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher) will not and cannot replace the internet. It will merely serve the area which the internet is not serving, e.g., them who do not have internet connection or are not internet-savvy. Or even if there is that internet connection, but is very expensive to do extensive reading! Therefore, the either need my old PC which is becoming obsolete or they need to have this state-of-the-art generations-advanced gadget: eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher).
***
I have a feeling that there is a sector of maturing people in their 40s and 60s who are ripe for this “KoaftTF”.
How can we gift this KoaftTF in a small yet complete container – portable if possible? In today’s reality, and it is now an invention being refined, an being called by many names owing to the differing emphases of features by their specific developer; so, we have the laptop, netbook, notebook, next generation mobile phone, eReader, ebook Reader, etc.
When all the scattered or still separate important features are harmonized and equally given emphasis, into one gadget, then, this will be named, as to its meanings, eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher), but can or will be called with a proper name, say, OMNIA (I am borrowing the brand name of SamSung’s advanced cellular phone) which encompasses the so-far scattered features of cellular phone. In Omnia, which means “all, everything,” SamSung has integrated all features which are separately emphasized by other niche cellular phones: messages, music, camera, phone, radio, TV.
***
Our BUENA OMNIA (Good Omnia – Good all, Good Everything, nothing bad is included) will be a clever and agile gadget to reach the hands of worthy men and women and families, out of the notice of the Powers-That-Be.
But what is better and more agile – more clever – more subtle – more covert than the Mind? Who can know the Mind? What is as clever as the Mind?
And so, our Buena Omnia will serve only as extension or tool of the Mind, for the latter’s further development through diligent study and wise use of the tool, not for its degeneration out of laziness. Our Buena Omnia will serve the Mind. It will serve the family, out of reach of other technology.
***
By the way, our eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher) will be containing all formats: texts, audio (especially for the blind) and video (which can serve the mute).
Now, I am thinking from the present point view where we have many deaf and blind. But since we are dealing here with a powerful Being who can make the blind see and the mute speak and the deaf hear, this worry of mine becomes mote and academic!
The only usefulness of such feature of invention is that, given the opportunity to serve our least brethren, namely the blind and the deaf, we have developed the tool to help them.
Because if the almighty all-loving Father will intervene, heal all kinds of sicknesses and disabilities, then, all such aforementioned services will become null and void!
… which I prefer. I prefer seeing all men and women in their perfect health so that we can give them one kind of book, the TEXT-BOOK. We will not need to produce the audio book or the video book, etc.
I admit, that by just imagining the task, it is soooooooooooooooo overwhelming that I prefer the Father to come and say, “Let all disabilities disappear to pave the way for easy and quick education, so people, everyone, can read and learn, as a full able person!”
That’s what I prefer.
For the moment, quite grudgingly slightly, and if not because I care for the disabled, I would not envision and now ask the Father to approve the eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher)! Whoever can do it, does not matter. I even pray Bill Gates can see it and will do it, for he is in the position where it is most possible, having already done similar thing with Encarta, et al.
May the Father lead Bill Gates to get converted to the NR, to help launch in the arena of technology, the mass education of the people – delivering to them the KoaftTF.
****
Back to some left-of points:
The consumption of our study-school years in scientific theories in biology, chemistry, physics, English, social studies, has left us no time to attend to our talents to develop into sharp skills for (1) earning a living and for (2) service to fellowman. We are under-income as we are under-skilled, whose talents have remained undeveloped.
This is a sad conditions of the Filipinos and many peoples as well, who have been under the bad tutorship of the Powers-that-Be.
I want to stop here, my friend. I am worried that you are fed up and me also getting drowned by the negative feelings.
But let’s turn the lemon into lemonade. See the opportunity to love and to serve….and hopefully be able to extend a loving and helping hand.
Truly yours,
Cocoy
P.S. This will add light to our growing article on this subject.

THIERRY REQUESTED TO TAKE CHARGE OF THE HARDWARE;
The 7 FEATURES OF THE eLibrary
May 30, 2011
Dearest Franky and Thierry,
Thierry, there is a huge vision I have in mind which I know it is not mine to accomplish, but this is only shown to me, but not for my achievement, I feel this is for you Thierry.
My active role is in the marketing or distribution only.
One can get me wrong but as I survey our team’s skill, it is you, our dear “quite but terrible” (a variation of “small but terrible”) friend who is in the position to make it happen – it’s the hardware and software vision that I have been lately brooding on, thanks to the question on Coycoy’s education which serves as one of the triggers.
For lack of excellent words, may I call it “The eLexandrian eLibrary.”
Thierry, we have to move in a more controlling situation – the camp of the Light must be more in control of the software – the contents. We must move from this current cell phone age where the cell phone is dumb (it has no noble contents) and has served in the transmission of sinful thoughts, images, sounds and schemes.
The enemy likes that. Green jokes are fast passed from one end to another in split seconds. Sinful messages have been transmitted from one person to another. The first casualty is the virtue of honesty and faithfulness, especially towards mates or spouses. There has been an alarming rise in adultery and other forms of sexual immorality at village level, hence, the national rate must be very high now, if we surveys were made. Adultery and sexual immorality -- read: sexual dishonesty, marital unfaithfulness -- have been facilitated in a much more efficient and more clandestine manner with the aid of cellular phone.
While the cellular phone has helped transmit messages or texts to facilitate works, business transactions, family activities, safety of the family members especially children, on the other hand, the negative side has been, as what I have already cited, more speedily carried out and promoted. Worse crimes and immoralities have been made possible through the aid of the cellular phone.
So, the celfone manufacturers have given mankind a tool to transmit the ways of sin, magnify and multiply sins. It is a naïve yet effective device to promote and facilitate man’s sinful attitudes, thoughts, and ways.
There is now a need for this to give way to the MORE INTELLIGENT DEVICE CONTRIBUTIVE TO FAMILY-DEVELOPMENT – the ipad/eReader with its eLexandrian eLibrary.
Thierry, Franky, I have made some research on the hardware aspect. It is already possible. Foremost in the list of the gadgets in the market now are: Apple’s ipad, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab, we also have Toshiba’s solar-powered Biblio Leaf. LG has come out with its new solar-powered eReader too.
Thierry, our brethren (fellow light workers) have been calling for a more teamwork for a greater synergy.
Some of them are calling for intervention with mother Gaia. There is a need to help protect, restore mother Earth’s key organs such as, what I had discussed before, the forest-aquifer-springs all over the planet. If there is an NGO among us to facilitate the identification and location of these forest-aquifer-springs and their declaration and maintenance as WATERSHED AREAS all over the planet, then, some giant step will have been thus done to restore, save, preserve, heal, pacify the raging Nature and the revolting environment which has killed many lives and destroyed many properties and food crops.
This is one big step Franky, Thierry. And I hope this idea can reach our brethren, and that they, we, will all work hand in hand in the declaration and care of such strategic places as WATERSHEDS.
Now, the other big idea I wish to mention and this is where Thierry can help take charge: The development of The eLexandrian eLibrary. Thierry will take charge of the choice and even perfection of the Hardware while Franky assists. Then, with the software, especially in the translations and arrangement of the ebooks in the eLibrary Franky will take charge, while Thierry and me assist. Well, that is the rough delineation of “duties” although, in some instances anyone can be needed in either hardware and software, since our knowledge spans both software and hardware, so the final rule might be: Let whose better idea be followed, be it hardware or software, from whoever.
The shell or hardware is already there: the eReader. The next best thing I wish to see is that Apple’s iPad (which is the best of them all, so far) will be able to become solar-powered in addition to its being electric-powered. So, dual-powered.
Thierry, maybe you can work with some manufacturer over there to make the hardware – the eReader - we want to become the shell-container of The eLexandrian eLibrary?
In my previous email, I had listed at least 13 features of that eReader.
Now, I would like to focus now on the software part.
THE SOFTWARE ASPECT OF The eLexandrian eLibrary
First, it would be somewhat like what they had already achieved with the German version – a well-arranged set of NR books with very powerful subject search as well as across-all-the-books cross reference system, so that when you want to study a subject, all verses which say something about that subject can be listed or made available.
We will not get lost if we use the physical library with (a) excellent system of book arrangement and (b) subject search as our model.
1. Books are categorized;
2. Books are numbered under each category;
3. Each book has a good “Table of Contents” as well as comprehensive “Index”;
4. These Table of Contents and/or Indexes are being further utilized to build a powerful Cross Reference or Intra-books Search system to lead the researcher to all the places (e.g., books, chapters, verses/paragraphs) that cover the subject he is studying.
Second, there is the so-called SUPPORT BOOKS OR ARTICLES. What are support books and articles? These are books or articles which document facts, events, findings, conclusions from experiments or experience WHICH CONFIRM WHAT IS WRITTEN THERE IN THE NR!
I don’t have hesitation to refer to countless of articles found in www.mercola.com and www.naturalnews.com to be confirmer-articles to the NR --- they do confirm what the NR reveals.
So, here we see Revelation (God’s Teachings) and Science (Man’s Findings/Discoveries) confirming each other.
Third, there is a FELLOW-MIND SUPPORT, meaning: it’s like the www.AskMe.com where one can write his question or the subject he is researching and anyone who knows the answer may put his answer but it must be supported with the NR Scripture, complete with the book title, chapter, and verse.
Fourth, if one wants to apply the Subject he is studying in his life, say for example, God’s Way of Business, then, he will be given a list and link of all businessmen – and their organization – who are already applying the principles the Lord teaches in the NR!! So, there is a kind of support system among the brethren. And further to that, there is a list of schemes and supports in the form of financing, machinery/technology, marketing, accounting, etc.
I would like to see that happen in the grains producers/farmers, grain millers, flour millers, and finally with bakers!....
So that we can let anyone enter into our system and group in its strong condition, so the refugee can quickly get helped.
Nice. Very nice. Isn’t it?
But as what I had said, The Word is the first step, before The Acts. We must first circulate The Word so the people will learn and be taught; thus, the dissemination of The eLexandrian eLibrary. Then, we will need to be ready with the assistance when the new believer starts to implement The Word. He/She must be helped in The Acts – the support system or network; brethren supporting the new one to be able to stand.
If someone has come out of the world, and the Babylonian system, are we ready to aid him? For example, if he is a bakery owner and has realized how unhealthy are his bread, how can we help him shift to godly bakery if we cannot guide and support him have access to whole flour, have the machine and technology how to produce organic and whole bread?
What about those who are now in pharmaceuticals business? Can we help them shift to wellness or to alternative medicine?
***
Fifth: One more thing for The Word. The eLibrary Organizer software must be flexible and allow the person to delete books, or enter new books, and include them in the indexing, etc.
***
Sixth: It is also a good feature if the eLibrary Organizer can also specify in a list which type of ebooks/books are qualified to the eLibrary and with that list automatically searches in the web for new ebooks!
***
Seventh: Furthermore, such eLibrary may do good if it can advertise itself automatically as it searches the web.
***
For your further consideration,
Cocoy

VISION 2 FOR COYCOY: ORGANIC GARDENING
Also, the ORGANIC GARDENING AND CLOSE-TO-THE-NATURE EXPOSURE SUCH AS FILMING/VIDEO SHOOTING because these are the foundation of an artistic and creative and humble heart and mind which are necessary for a good artist and musician, not to mention, as a son of God.
So, I can’t see Coycoy to be one-focused talent. He must master two or three or more talents. How are we going to do that and which is first, I am not yet so fixed about that.
But I am quite having the feeling that for the hardware goal (eReader), Thierry is better than us. Not to mention your presence. If we envision Coycoy to become master of eReader, both hardware and software, then, Thierry can be his most qualified maestro and “school” principal/mentor to guide him. Remote, of course. Can Thierry be Coycoy’s tutor here?

WHY I WANT TO RETURN ACTIVE TO BUSINESS
There are things I want to spend for but hesitate to burden you. You are already burdened. I want myself or at least my family members to help raise the money or income, sooner or later.
1) COST OF TUTORIAL
Directly receiving your financial help, enables me to stay at home and concentrate on the NR tasks, which I like and appreciate, and this rare blessing and act of kindness on your part reminds me of being fed with manna and quail in the wilderness, and I do not want to complain but to rejoice and give thanks…but the growing needs for the family or kids must be anticipated and met… and this is where I feel the need to help raise the funds or help produce the income to help finance these growing needs.
For example, we need to finance Coycoy’s talents development. I will let him avoid formal school. That means, he will not be able to use his scholarship. I do not want to give him to the world. I will let him practice painting, music and computer assembly as soon as possible, backed up by some internet free courses and manuals. If there is no free, than, at least cheap online course.
I plan to enroll him in a painting training for P1,000 registration fee plus P100 per hour. An M-W-F schedule for 2 hours each day is ideal.
In the music, it is also almost similar expense.
2) INTERNET CONNECTION & PRACTICE
But we can perhaps avoid this if we can support him via the internet and buy him the tools and materials for instant practice.
So, it boils down to prioritizing the internet-connection. And then the cost of practice.
If there is an actual shop or job where I can apprentice Coycoy, that would not only be saving the cost of buying materials for practice but also that is better since it is actual work!
SUMMARY OF PRIORITIES:
To summarize, Franky, Thierry:
The priorities are:
• vermi pen
• Flour mill
• Coycoy’s internet access, talent tools and equipment (since we have some paint brushes, we need only a few more, but lots of paint, and cloths to paint on). In case this is not yet possible, then, I ask you to help me upgrade my monitor into flat screen ( a second hand will do) what is important is I can have it white, so we can once again see the real colors. The present monitor that I have still works but it has decolorized – yellowish! To see colors like blue, etc. is no longer possible.
If we can have the flour mill soon, I can help raise the funds via the sales of the cakes, bread, etc.
The flour mill can transform my bakery-guilt into inspiration and lots of action, productivity and profitability.
So, will we please try again with the flour mill strategy?
It will be time-consuming at first, but as soon as the ordering and delivery of the rice is made regular, then, the flow will be smooth. It will just be a phone call away to the supplier.
The flour milling may require a full time person.
By the way, the true retsel flour mill is slow, not fast. I understand this is to preserve the nutrients, I guess. They have the explanation in their website. Anyway, Franky, it comes out that the first mill will be useful to produce the semi-flour and then, it will be the retsel to finish the job of further powdering it into real flour! So, the mistake flour mill may not be a mistake after all!

SO, WORLD & BABYLON, SORRY, COYCOY IS SAYING GOODBYE!
May 17, 2011 appendage
COCOY: To avoid nonsense arguments with concerned but unrealizing relatives Why are we letting Coycoy refuse scholarships in many local formal high schools, tell them it is because we understand the big difference between our Philippine K+12 educational system versus “DID 8” system of Japan, China, Germany, etc.
Here in the Philippines, we will have our children skilled at 18 years old, after 6th year high school, but in Japan et al., they DID IT @ 8!
Thus, I call their system “DID 8” because they “DID IT @ 8”!
But here we are still going to do at 18, starting year 2018, if I remember the schedule of implementation!
Too late!
Parents must back it up with home training, parent-guided.
For Coycoy, in less than a year, he will be more skilled in his fields at 13, than those who are college graduate and age 20 and are hurrying to get married, no more time to repay and help old parents and young siblings. Coycoy has 7 to 12 years to help parents and siblings before he will reach and marry at 25. That same 12-year period, he will climb the different levels of expertise upward in mastery of his talents. Away from mediocrity, poverty and slavery. By the same period, he can practice “giving fish” and “teaching others how to fish”, so to speak. Truly God’s will.
AYL: If not still, then mention that their father is a bright boy, although not handsome!? Don’t mention my teeth!
VCL: Ah, never mind them! What matters is to settle the kids into their talents and skills. Directly. No more delay in studying high school. But ask the companies to where you will send Coycoy for apprenticeship if they will not require high school diploma. Like Benjie, etc.
AYL: If they still won’t get it, and are still worried about imagining a very bright nephew yet “uneducated” by their standards, then, let them compare your two kinds of experiences, namely: first 14 years of formal schooling up to college versus your just months of special training in baking. Which is giving much income? Profit? And livelihood?
AYL: If they still won’t get it, then inform them of the several online courses and ebooks we will avail for Coycoy, to serve as his own homestudy.
AYL: If not still, then mention the support of Franky and Thierry, in many forms, such as: 1) books, ebooks; 2) tools/equipment; 3) materials; 4) even apprenticeship in Belgium, if necessary!
VCL: Wow! Is that true? Ah, let it be just in the Philippines.
AYL: Yeah, to make up my missing Europe. I was offered by Franky to study in Europe but I refused because of Alturas. Then, next, you arrived. So, I would have missed you!
AYL: Seriously, if the idea or business of disassembling computers in Belgium and assembling them in the Philippines, will push through, then, Franky and Thierry will need someone to help do it there, and we will need someone to do the job here. Kenken and Coycoy are in my mind.
COCOY: He must have his own computer to assemble, disassemble, assemble, then, to use for his arts or graphics, to learn to type, work with music, etc. Ask if we can pay monthly installment if we buy two. One is for you.
AYL: To continue Bee, if they still criticize the decision, then tell them that IT IS IN THE NR: an education that gives freedom from many things: freedom from human control by employer, freedom from poverty, from hunger, from slavery, from etc., etc., etc.
AYL: Finally, if they still insist, then, let them help prevent their fears and worries about Coycoy, by helping supply tools, equipment, raw materials, etc. Just maintain a list to avoid duplication. We can do it without our relatives, but it is good feeling and it will be good harvest if they sow help now, now hindering nor misplaced criticism.
VIDA: I will let them contribute wire, 1 hand breadth!
COCOY: Nge! They will be happy seeing Coycoy progress fast! And more sooner able to help them. Charice Pempengko and Manny Pacquiao are our living examples that excellence outside the formal school is possible! If the mother or father takes charge in guiding the child. See?
VIDA: K, hopefully. What about the girls? We have the vermis as the hindrance. We cannot make use of the kitchen as long as the vermis are there!
COCOY: That is part of the plan. We will transfer the vermis as soon as the vermi pens are finished, soy you can start your baking training and business.
VIDA: Probably, we will first construct the clay oven. We will use the steel plate costing P2,000 per sheet so the steamer will remain white, not full of sooth. That is also my next plan for Jagna. I hope that can be done before September 8, Loon town fiesta.
Only Torta Butter may be on gasul.
COCOY: K. Good, and let’s sign off now. God bless.
COCOY: He must have his own computer to assemble, disassemble, assemble, then, to use for his arts or graphics, to learn to type, work with music, etc. Ask if we can pay monthly installment if we buy two. One is for you.

BASIC & IMMEDIATE NEEDS TO KEEP THE BALL ROLLING WITHOUT MUCH EXPENSES
Step 1: Acquire a higher computer unit for Cocoy (Me) to accommodate the big hard disks;
Step 2: Acquire a flat screen to replace the old monitor which gives yellowish color in the screen so that colors will be properly displayed when Coycoy works with colors; Give the old computer to Coycoy.
Step 3: For online services, e.g., ebooks, paintings, we can go to the internet and copy or download and then, paste them in our computer, then, proceed with our study and works, offline. To send finished works or communications, then, go back to internet.
So, to keep it simple and cheap, Franky, that is the cheapest and most basic start for Coycoy. To acquire other unit for practice in mechanical/technical/repair works, it will be added blessing.
***
So, with that, may I close.
I have not reread this email and my apology for typing errors. I am in a hurry to send this to you for you to read my mind and heart.
Bye, bye. The heavenly Father blesses you…’til next long letter, this is 37 pages!
Sincerely yours,

MAY 19, 2011 UPDATES
A. WHY I AM HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS AND DISTRUSTFUL OF PHILIPPINE FORMAL EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM?
Date: May 18, 2011
To: Papa, and my brothers: Rolan, Junnie, & Noel
Topic: Why I am highly suspicious and distrustful of Philippine formal Educational System?
Guys,
I want you to consider the following points which I used as my bases to not depend on Philippines system of education and invent my own for my kids and myself:
Point # 1: SCHOOLS OF MEDIOCRITY. The Philippines formal education, either up to high school or even after college, produce mediocre graduates. By “mediocre” I mean: employee only, hirelings of big multinationals whose products are harming the health of the people; the school cannot make the student become a great entrepreneur, inventor, industrialist, organic farmer who succeeds in farming and become rich without use of health-hazardous chemical fertilizers (one major cause of cervix and breast cancers), pesticides (different types of cancer) and GMO (different types of cancers);
The most obvious source of wealth is to become an entrepreneur, and look, even the colleges and universities cannot and do not prepare students to become entrepreneurs. Those who have become entrepreneurs are due to sariling sikap (school of experience) or guidance from entrepreneur-parents.
Point # 2: EDUCATION FOR SLAVES & EMPLOYEES. The education or training and know-how gained or given by the formal schools make graduates subservient or servant or employee of, thus, supportive of, those whose businesses and technologies are harming the environment, and thus, human health;
Point # 3: EDUCATION THAT DOES NOT MAKE EMPLOYER.
In other words, our present education system prevent the full release and unveiling of the potential of our children to become independent prosperous and rich (and at the same time, mature in character, fully aware of their responsibility of being benefactors of their poorer fellow men).
Nobody became employer by the curriculum taught in schools. People became employers or rich by their own personal strivings with very little, or almost without, contribution from schools.
Point # 4: EDUCATION THAT SCATTERS FAMILIES. Our schools have highly contributed and continue to contribute to the overseas works, thus, abandonment of homes, which resulted to neglect of the old folks, broken marriages and disintegration of families;
Point # 5: EDUCATION THAT OPPRESSES OUR OWN WOMEN. Our schools have thus contributed much to the increasing suffering of our women abused and used as sex objects or prostitutes abroad. In Japan alone, there are more than 200,000 of such women! According to the survey of Gabriela, an NGO dedicated to the protection of Filipino women, for every 20 Filipinas (Filipino women) abroad, 19 of these went through abuses, mostly sexual.
Point # 6: NOT AN EDUCATION FOR FREEDOM. From the Spanish time (over 300 years), to the American colonization period (100 year plus), we have been educated not to become free from the exploitation and vested interests of the foreigners. I do not mean we do not need mutual cooperation with our neighbor countries. We need them. But certainly we do not need them to always put us in the losing end, always after each transaction!
We have suffered much after every transaction. Look at what is the effect of their mining. Not only hectares of totally deserted region; but also their chemical residues that sip into our underground water tables or mix with our rivers and seas, are causing miscarriages among our wives, deformities of our infants, or sterility of our men, to name the few major ones. Our fishes have become living swimming containers of their mine’s waste mercury, a very poisonous element. Our rice fields are also being invaded by these toxic chemicals. True, we have eaten them and are causing our bodies to weaken and get sick!
We must go back to the former state when we can live a long healthy life without any help from the bad foreigners (good ones excluded, but where are they who do not have hidden agenda? Scare and rare as an eclipse!) So we must strive for release from foreign control and go for independence. This is the best offense… and the best defense from their destructive ways of business and living.
Point # 7: OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM SUPPRESSES TO MAKE POOR SUBJECTS.
If you are wise enough to detect it, with the help of seeing the results, our general education does away with specialized focus on the student’s talent.
Why do our educators avoid focus of talents?
Answer: Because, as we can see in the life of Charice Pempengko, to focus in talents will be like releasing the child into uncontrollable journey to unlimited stardom or greatness! Hence, goodbye poverty!
And when people are thus released from poverty and helplessness, how can our present leaders who cannot stand on their own without sucking or taxing the people, survive when they have no talents to speak of, only the skill to control people, and they do not know how to dig the soil or till the land!!??
So, our leaders do not allow full development. They just teach us English to be able to read their instructions and become efficient slaves; no, never to become independent individuals!
There is no real growth, development and rising upward from our government-designed educational system. It’s an education for slaves, not free men!
You want some more points? I may go on forever…
Point # 8: OUR EDUCATION IS THE OPPOSITE PATH AWAY FROM MY DREAMS AND PLAN FOR MY KIDS. Except for basic help such as learning how read and write and math (for which I am thankful for), our educational system has thus far ceased to be useful to my goals for my children. They are not the means to my end. Our present schools do not offer me the ability to attain the following objectives I have to my kids, to wit:
1. To convey, give, teach or impart of all the necessarily knowledge for mastery in as short a time as 6 months to 12 months. Schools make it 4 years for commercial purposes! And despite of the 4 long years, the student end up not knowing much! All graduates are half-baked!
2. To let Coycoy go out practicing and even selling his skill and product by the next year (second year);
3. To see Coycoy honing, attaining one level of expertise to the other, climbing the ladder of mastery and wealth;
4. To make Coycoy or any other student for that matter, an entrepreneur, or an inventor, or an industrialist, or an innovator, or a powerful converter of arid and barren land into lush farms without any aid from chemicals; chemicals give birth to cancers, diabetes, etc.
5. I want Coycoy to become a great musician in his music talent. How? Answer: Through early use much of his time (from 8 am to 5 pm to say the least) to practice music. If I let him go to high school and sit their from 8 am to 5 pm, thus, waste his time, and leave no more time for his talents’ theory and practice, then, that is, the subtle way of killing his talents or leaving his talent undeveloped, thus useless, for any purpose. The formal school, both public and private, does not provide this specialized, specific-student focus kind of education. Great musician never came from schools. It’s more on self-learning or special tutorial by a great music maestro, not from school curriculum.
6. I also want Coycoy to become great in his art/painting talents. How? Answer: Through early use much of his time (from 8 am to 5 pm to say the least) to practice music. If I let him go to high school and sit their from 8 am to 5 pm, thus, waste his time, and leave no more time for his talents’ theory and practice, then, that is, the subtle way of killing his talents or leaving his talent undeveloped, thus useless, for any purpose. The formal school, both public and private, does not provide this specialized, specific-student focus kind of education. Great artists never came from schools. It’s more on self-learning or special tutorial by a great music maestro, not from school curriculum. In this nation where government and business supports for wealth-creating talents are almost nil, and where their focus is in educating students to help them in their businesses (as salesladies, packers, clerks, or supervisors) and in their government (as police, or clerks, cashiers), greater intervention and taking charge by the parents is very much necessary to keep the focus and to prevent other forces from hindering our goal of making FREE MEN OUT OF OUR CHILDREN – MEN AND WOMEN WHO WILL BE ABLE TO GENERATE WEALTH NOT FOR THEIR OWN SELVES ALONE BUT PRIMARILY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND NEIGHBOR!
7. I want Coycoy et al to be FREE MEN, not SLAVE MEN.
8. I do not want Coycoy et al to serve this kind of government and their kind of politicians and their kind of business establishments, which are the main culprit of our planetary and global crisis.
9. I want Coycoy et al to join the forces of good where the system is to make prosperity for all possible, based on Love-character. (For prosperity without love for God and neighbor is evil, and will produce great harm.) This means that Coycoy will lead or become team of young men and women who will implement an economic and political system which no longer favors the few who are mere promises and rhetorics. Coycoy will put those promises and rhetorics to reality so that it will be this in the future, namely: no longer few are rich, but all. It will be a time when the lyrics of this song will materialize: “If there were no poor and the rich were content… If strangers were welcome wherever they went… If each of us know what true brotherhood meant.. It would be a wonderful world.” See? Such will not be possible if we continue to educate our children in this present school of mediocrity, employment and slavery.
10. I want Coycoy to be a totally different businessman: one who raise profits and capital to uplift the beggars, to educated correctly and truly the poor and ignorant, to feed the hungry and help them become capable of earning a decent living not always in dole-out and alms, to clothe the poorly clad, to bring in true healing and health to the people and masses (our present medical system cures sickness but causes the body systems to get destroyed thus cause more worse sickness in the future; thus, it is God’s will to lead us away from this pharmaceutical system and hurry towards alternative medicine. Read Revelation 18:4 for the instruction), to help the innocent prisoners, to rehabilitate the guilty prisoners, and so on and so forth. I want Coycoy et al to be able to do that. And for sure, he can not do it if he let the formal educational system to have a say of what he should study, read or memorize! Going to formal school is more like allowing yourself to be inside a box and to be locked!
Jun, my dear younger brother, my lack of business and political success is not due to lack of will, lack of abilities, lack of competence, but more on plenty of enemies, who have control of the people’s votes, who have full control of the people’s money (taxes) to the tunes of millions and billions which they use, no not their own money, to dole-out, to ‘help’ people and thus, make them a sort of indebted!
What an arrangement!
They let people pay taxes. In other ways, the make people poor and ‘dependent’ on them. And they ‘give’ people money or project using the money which are actually theirs!??! And during election campaign, they ‘give’ people money to buy their votes and they are happy, not realizing that it was their tax-money…oh, when will we ever learn! When will we ever learn!
Thus, and in this way, we are giving other nations the excuse or reasons why they treat us, though may not say it loud, as monkeys and turtles.
THE PARABLE OF THE HAWK AND THE TURTLE
“Do not follow the evil inhabitants in hell who serve out of selfishness, for everyone there expects to be served.
“They are like the story of the turtle and the hawk. The hawk first eagerly helps the turtle out of its mud-hole in the meadow, only to be grabbed by the hawk in its neck during its search for herbs, carried aloft and smashed into a rock.
“Why did the hawk do that? So that she can enjoy the turtle’s flesh as a reward for its previous eagerness to help. My, children, do not do that!
“Service should be given in love and with true brotherly feeling, as is customary in the heavens.”
I have thus far spoken God’s will and what our heavenly Father does want now to occur for our days!
Jun, what is that to me if they defeated me using deceitful tactics and causing the people to believe they are better and the ones qualified? I do not need to refute that. The bad results of government all over the country will tell the people the truth, and thus, it will justify me and will make them finally say, not so very soon but surely, “Truly, Cocoy was right, after all.”
Hopefully I can have some more time in the near future for this to be continued…..but suffice thus said, Pa whom I want to see more than what you have seen as a good yet limited teacher and trainor (there is much vast horizon of knowledge and systems and great freedom Pa which you are yet to see, which you never dreamed to exist!), and my dear otols…whom I also want to become great, not just in money, but also in character in being true selfless benefactors of mankind as Rizal and Jesus Christ envisioned. For salvation and becoming sons of God in His eternal kingdom in heaven forever requires that we learn to LOVE GOD ABOVE ALL AND OUR NEIGHBOR AS OURSELVES, NOW… and not in our own definition of what is love (for our definition of love is selfish and others-harming), and surely not in our own ways and methods. God has sent vast books to tell us how to love and how to serve Him and our fellowmen and at the same time reap the blessings, including material prosperity. It will be both riches here and riches in the beyond. It is like HOW TO BE RICH NOW WITHOUT GETTING INTO HELL LATER. Which is not what the majority are achieving!!!?? Most are rich or comfortable now, poor later in the beyond.
God bless you all… and thanks for the love… I know your good intention… but also know your and my limitations, thus, I am asking God’s help to be able to attain our good intention (end).
For it is often like this: good end, but wrong means (path), thus, in the end, we will not reach our desired end (result, or destination).
One example is our end or aim or desire to LIVE PAST 100 YEARS OLD WITHOUT SICKNESS.
But what is the wrong means? The present pharmaceuticals and medical technologies. Thus, Ti, lead Bebing away, though it may be slowly and gradually yet surely, away from pharmacy towards alternative medicine and the wellness industry.
You can start studying a few websites, and this is where your leadership is needed by your wife!
www.lifestyles.com -- Products like Intra where Lorie is…
www.allianceinmotion.com - Alliance in Motion Global
you can also read these great websites:
www.mercola.com
www.naturalnews.com
And the greatest is the 25 volumes (free ebooks) which you can read at:
www.franky1.com
Ti, I do not mean quick abandonment of pharmacy which act may mean devastating. Slow but earnest (no regressing) and sure. That is in accordance to our Father’s instruction in Revelation 18:4.
We, brothers, are called to become leaders for our poor countrymen. But good, wise, loving leaders, for sure, not like them (sorry). And thus, I as your Manong, am again setting you the example of refusing the gold and glitters of this world’s system to pursue and prefer the PEARL OF THE GREATER PRICE (VALUE)… no, no, no, not just for temporary riches but for eternal riches.
Soon, you will learn how correct I am to pursue the treasure that cannot be stolen and rusted! And that will make Papa and Mama finally happy… more than they ever expected from their renegade and impoverished oldest son….
The Bible is correct to tell us that worldly or earthly riches has no eternal value (good only for this life), and thus, we must use it to gain the other one which has the everlasting value…
Wise, right?
With love and care,
Cocoy

COYCOY’S TALENTS (according to most inclined):
Art/Painting Online, actual practice & selling of artworks Sun-Tue-Thu afternoons
Computer Online, actual practice & selling of products Mon-Wed-Fri mornings
Music/keyboard Online, actual practice & selling of music works Mon-Wed-Fri afternoons

NR/ Dawn, daily & Sabbath
Creation sightseeing/ Sabbath
FREE HOURS 5:00 P.M. to 10 P.M.
Law: Thou shall work for 6 days, and rest during the holy Sabbath.
NOTE: This system will not lack capable teachers and qualified trainors.
Among them are:
• Coycoy’s parents like what Charice Pempengko’s mother did as first tutor
• Then, what her mother further did: find other expert tutor/s. Same what Sharon Cuneta’s parents did. Whatever skill or expertise they lacked, they sought it not inside school, but around!
• Thus, I have concrete plans to let Coycoy et al also take special personalized classes in the homes of great musicians and artists in the province.
• For the skill on computer, beside the texkbooks at home and in the internet, I will hire Ritchie Simbulas, now professor in BISU (former CVSCAAF, BSAT), to tutor Coycoy on basic electricity and electronics for P50 to P100 per hour, whole 8 hours Sunday. So, Papa, I will be paying more expensively for an education that is worth for our bright kid… JUST TO MAKE HIM POWER BY AGE 14, no, I will not wait for 20! Not their K+12 which makes you skilled only by 18! Then, next is 6-month apprenticeship at Ritchie’s electronics shop in Tagbilaran City. Then, next 6 months, apprenticeship in how to assemble and repair computers at my former school mate’s computer shop: Benjie Jamora, B & J Computer Shop. Benjie is the leading computer assembly, repair, and sales shop in the province. I have other options and locations for actual, real and effective apprenticeship, then, Coycoy will be ready for independence, with our guidance. I will keep an eye.

HOW ABOUT FOR THE GIRLS?
Vida: Wow, that would be nice plan for Coycoy! If that will be push through, even not the Belgium thing (thought that will be for his greater development if he’ll go there), for I prefer (as her mother) for Coycoy to have his apprenticeship and then business here in the Philippines.
Now, how about for the girls? What’s your plan?
Cocoy: The security of the future largely depends on the people concerned. For example, you want to have many to give you scholarships? Then, strive to excel in your field, in or outside the school. And many will offer you scholarships, jobs, capital, opportunities. You will not have to look for them. They will come to you. In fact, they will compete to take you!
For the girls? Well, hmmm, this is this:
Normally, each human being upon birth, is endowed with more than one talent, with of course at least one major, where s/he can master and excel or do very well and better than with others.
But generally, talent means anything you can do well or sufficiently. We prefer to call these as ‘abilities’ then, ‘skills’ and use the term ‘talent’ more exclusively to refer to that which excels among our other abilities.
Okay, whatever, may it be, so be it; however, we can say, we are all equipped with many talents and abilities.
So, what for the girls?
As a wise and loving mother, YOU ARE TO HARMONIZE ALL TALENTS AND ABILITIES, small and great, IN OUR DAUGHTERS TO SUCCEED IN THEIR LOVE-MISSION OR GOD-APPOINTED DESTINATION OF A WOMAN, namely: To be a wife and mother!
There is much work to do as wife and mother.
As wife, she is to HONE-FINISH her incomplete husband, who was made half-way only by his mother, the other remaining or half, being left out or his mother running out of time for it. So, it is the wife who is called to perfect her husband – mentally, above all, emotionally-spiritually --- in character as well as in abilities.
Do not believe that at wedding day, your husband was complete and perfect! Yours is the job to emotionally-spiritually finish (perfect) your husband. You are to teach him, for example, true love, e.g., how to love, how to love God above all, how to love our neighbor as ourselves, how to love self properly.
The wife is not to teach her husband how to love selfishly, or only herself! Or there we can truly say, “He is finished!” Meaning: dead! Killed spiritually. Not able to enter the realm of selflessness in heaven! For selfish people will not be given entry to the kingdom of heaven where only selfless love is admitted!!
See?
Question: How many wives have accomplished and fulfilled this Will of the heavenly Father by having “finished” their husbands in the correct sense and meaning of the word? To be specific, how many wives have successfully taught their husbands to love God above all and the neighbor as self?
I bet, most wives have, cunningly and uncunningly, led their husbands to love them (the wives) more than God and more than any other women and anyone and anything, thus, these women have raised themselves over and above God!
What a tragedy!
Let’s leave that sad topic.
As a mother, you are to put at least the first half in your empty children. Thus, to make them, figuratively speaking, half full.
Then, who is going to provide the other half to make them full?
Well, for your sons, they will be their wives. And for your daughters, they will of course be their wives. The wives or husbands are to pick where the aging parents left off or could not do anymore.
See?
The end result: complete being – read: ANGELIC BEINGS! Full image of God their Father. His replicas. His sons and daughters. His children. Perfect.
***
So, like in Japan, women should be or stay at home most of the time, or else, the young daughters, especially if they are very beautiful, will become object of abuse by men of lust, who do not love them but merely to devour them, until their flesh stench in decay!
So, parents must take charge, as God-appointed sentinels. The home is not strong without the woman of the house, serving and acting as wife and mother.
So, all talents of the daughters must be directed towards that end: as loving and wise wife of her husband and mother of her children.
To be proud of being a nanny of other woman’s children in Saudi Arabia, or America or Europe, while leaving your young children in the hands of other people, exposed to abuse and without loving and emotional support, betrays the true calling of a woman.
And it does not do good to the foreigner landlady as well, who grows fat like Buddha (no offense intended for our fellow Chinese and Japanese) and haughty without work! Filled by and with vanity! Leaving her children at the mercy of a yaya or nanny who lacks love, if not wisdom, intended for the children. For who possesses the full measure or greater measure of love for the children: their mother or their nanny? Whom does God so equipped? What is God’s perfect ORDER and WILL?
It’s known.
Philippine experience: IT IS NOT ADVANTAGEOUS IN THE LONG RUN TO MAKE THE HOUSE EMPTY AND JUST MAKE IT A SLEEPING QUARTERS. NO WOMAN DURING THE DAY!!!
Where is the woman?
In Japan, as Japayuke (slang for Filipina prostitute in Japan).
As DH (Domestic Helper) in Saudi Arabia.
As Care Giver in U.S.A.
Etc. etc. etc.
But never do they know that money can never compensate the failure at home. Money can never replace a mama’s presence with her love.
It is being proved now over and over again, in millions of families in the Philippines and elsewhere.
Men should go out. Work and excel. Women must stay, serve and excel in their feminine duties!
That is God’s order, which, if followed, will bring peace, joy, happiness, more love, freedom!
See to that my fellow men and country men!
***
So, how about our girls?
Not to prepare them for flight to Europe or to Australia or to USA. But a successful flight and a permanent happy plight to the home of their would-be husband!
And you, as their mother, are to prepare them for that. Teach them sewing, teach them delicious and nutritious cooking and baking. Teach them organic farming, how to create organic soil, how to do vermi culture, how to raise livestock, how to do organic gardening.
And they will prosper, needing not to go abroad and pursue the treacherous dollar!

CAN WE TRUST FRANKY?
May 19, 2011
NOTE: This text from my younger brother Junnie, is based on his belief that Franky supported or would support my stand, namely: To let Coycoy stop formal schooling and go direct to HOME STUDY (e.g., through the ICS and Internet Online Course) and quickly to ACTUAL EXPERIENCE, which will consist of Franky sending computer parts for us to assemble, etc. But, as you will read after this, Franky is not confined to my idea, even discourages me to stick to it, but instead consider to get the best of both worlds, namely: Send Coycoy to formal school while during weekends, or evenings, or vacation, undergo special studies and trainings to supplement formal school, not supplant it.
Junnie: “Nong, can we trust Franky? He is far. He is now old, and you MUST pity him for the burden. And he is not your relative, only your friend, and may have other priorities in his heart.”
Manong Cocoy: “Franky is close... just nearby. Franky is ever young. Franky is our brother – true brother.. with Thierry. So don’t bother that.
Well, more seriously, we rest all security not on ourselves, but to our ever-alive and almighty Father in heaven. Franky, me and you and everyone are safe if we go by the Father’s will – in the safer paths that He draws and defines for us.
So, this is what I am doing: LISTEN AND NOTE WHAT THE HEAVENLY FATHER WANTS AND WE WILL BE SAFE. OK, GUYS?
We can help make ourselves secure by, for example, in our topic of discussion which is Coycoy’s aim for more quality education and quicker mastery, by going less with theory and going direct to practice. That is the quicker way to attain more security. Less time, fewer years compared to high school and college education. Less expenses. The so-called School of Hard Knocks or Experience is a safe and more effective path if, or provided that (and we have to make sure these are available), we have the manual, tools, equipment, the apprentice shops, and the real work or business to practice, GOD IS THERE and I AM ALSO THEIR TO SERVE AS COYCOY’S HUMAN MENTOR.
If we look at it more broadly as a nation, it means very active participation or involvement of, first, parents, then, of our small entrepreneurs or big companies for the apprenticeship and then hiring of the students not meant to hold them forever but to prepare them to be on their own as soon as possible. Not one selfish businessman has that plan! But nevertheless, that should be the aim of companies… if we are to attain a truly prosperous world, with no bankruptcies whatsoever.
Coycoy is more blessed than other kids because we are here, as their parents, and uncles, aunties who are also businessmen.

Just little but the right theory – hit the bull’s eye.
And then, more practice.
Then, along with that, you will change your opinion of me: “Manong Cocoy is pro-action and pro-practice after all. He is not bookish after all!”
Well, guys, see you next to my practice venue: garden.
I love you all.
And I pray for your welfare as well (mostly silently), not just mine.

Franky’s advice Coycoy’s Education
Dear Cocoy,
About Coycoy not sending him to school anymore: I really cannot advice you because there are so many things that you have to consider. There may be more disadvantages than advantages. It also depends a lot of what Coycoy wants. Do not think he is too young not to know. He must at least be attracted to some education he wants to follow. In what is “he” interested in. Pushing him in a direction that is not according to his heart will be a failure sooner or later.
12 years is just the age they start to grow out of childhood. Then you should also consider his character. How dedicated is he in this or that? Is he already grown enough to work freely without someone always being around him to supervise him? Is he zealous or a bit lazy?
Then, yes, seeing in which world we live, where (almost) everybody judges everybody – this also will not be easy. Coycoy himself may feel under pressure, (e.g., Can he stand being criticized for not going to formal school? Will he not be called ‘uneducated’?). How can he cope when everyone will ask him: “Why are you not going to school?” What if he gets discouraged for this or another reason and he fails? That will be hard to bear for him! There are a lot of other questions.
You see, my friend, it is much more complicated than you may think. I am certainly not the one who will advise you to let him out of school. It may also be too early. Each year you may evaluate. The teachings in the NR should always be seen according to the spirit. We have to see it from the perspective of different times and circumstances.
So, personally I do not think this is a good idea. It is very risky.
But one does not have necessarily to exclude the other. (We may have the best of both worlds.)
For instance, while he is on vacation you can offer Benjie that Coycoy should freely work for him – maybe 2 or hours a day, 2 or 3 days a week.
In this period he can learn a lot, on condition of course that he receives the opportunity to work with the hardware and receives some teaching. And at home he can learn a lot in organic gardening in his spare time.
FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IN THE INTERNET
Cocoy: “OK, may I take your time regarding Coycoy's schooling?”
Franky: “Sure.”
Cocoy: “I have a concern or two.”
We are still having a family discussion of it, analysing all the advantages and disadvantages.
My brothers and sisters are involved as they are very interested in my children's future. They love my children and take involved in matters like this one.
So far, my brothers are requesting me to go on with high school but they will assist in the off-school learning of Coycoy: music, painting, computer. They even offered to also help send tools, computer parts, and whatever is necessary to meet my urgent concern to speed up Coycoy's learning.
Both you and them agree and advised me to let go.
I will still send to you my additional statements regarding this matter, in my May 15 email, i have added a May 19 updates containing those thoughts as well as my communications with my siblings and with Vida.
I will send it to you so you can read the updates.”
Franky: “Well yeah, personally I am very concerned about the outcome. As I said, one does not exclude the other. I mean he can continue school and do some learning aside. But care should very much be taken not to overburden him. That is also a danger.”
Cocoy: “But up to this point, I am weakening in my position, after your statements which let me see some other considerations that I had overlooked.
Yes, he is still very young and fragile.”
Franky: “Indeed, you can overburn him…that can in a way short circuit him ”
Cocoy: “Ha, ha, short circuit. Well, that's the word.
Also, I realize now how much he will miss the company of young children his age. This may also be emotionally hard for him to bear to be more with me as his tutor, etc., and then, to be alone with the tools.”
Franky: “Oh yes he will miss the children of his age.”
Cocoy: “Actually, your advice helps give space in my heart. I will try to see it in that light.”
OK, I will consider this social side.”
Franky: “That would be good I think. Do you think he might like to work now and then with Benjie?
Important is, not to push him. Let him do things with his heart. Otherwise it will not work.”
Cocoy: “I will arrange that with Benjie after I asked Coycoy and get his interest and approval. If you and Junnie can or will help us with the different parts, I can start at home in the assembling, so Coycoy will have a basic understanding and skill on the computer hardware from me, before I will take him to Benjie for the harder tasks in computer assembly and repair.
I am most drawn to eBook reader. What is it in shape, form, size, weight, etc? Is that always in the form of small notebook?
Or advanced cellular phone?
Franky: “He will learn ‘much’ faster when he is right in it [that is, have an instructor], not at home without instructor.
Cocoy: “Actually, before me or Benjie, I will first take Coycoy to Ritchie, the good electronics man, who is in our neighbor village, so he can teach Coycoy and us basic electronics.
So that when he will work at Benjie’s Computer Shop, Coycoy can be given assignment to assemble or repair immediately and Benjie will not have to begin with teaching him basic electronics. They can proceed to the repair and assembly jobs.
Franky: “Yes, good idea, if he likes it.”
THE WORLD PROWLS FOR COYCOY
May 20, 2011
Shiela: Te, good evening. Kita mi mam Darlit (of Sacred Heart Academy). When kuno pa-enroll Coycoy?
AYL: Aha, they are now vying for my very brilliant and still brillianting son! And what will they do with Coycoy, once they have him and educated according to their knowledge and motives and systems?
Use him to promote and defend their business in chemical fertilizers and GMO, etc, etc.?
God forbid!
VCL: What are you talking about? Only SHA has been eager about Coycoy.
AYL: Nay, there are many others. Even my brother and uncle, who are still not aware of the grand deception by the government, schools and the business world. The SHA-ROVEJENRA is quite dangerous because it is sponsored by politicians.

OPTIONS TO CHOOSE – THEIR ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES
May 23, 2011
OPTIONS ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
K+10, normal 4-year HS, starting this year, onto 4 years college ???? ???
K+10, normal 4-year HS, starting this year, then, 1-yr standby to wait K+12 ???? ????
Standby this year, P10 on important talents & skills, then join first batch of K+12 next year ???? ????
[back to Topic Contents]
BEST COURSE OF ACTION FOR SY 2011-12:
STOP FORMAL SCHOOL FOR ONE YEAR
(1) TO IMPLEMENT “P10”
& (2) TO WAIT FOR “K+12”
Pa, Jun,
Coycoy, being 1 year ahead of Et-et, will be the last batch to go through the existing old to-be-replaced high school curriculum, which is only 4 years. In other words, Coycoy and his batch will be the last who will not experience K+12.
Et-Et, being 1 year younger of Coycoy, will belong to the first batch of high school who will experience the K+12 or Senior High School (or 5th and 6th years) which is the difference of the new system K+12 from the old, to-be-replaced system.
Pa, you are very much worried if I will let Coycoy standby this year. You are instead urging to let him proceed to high school lest he will be caught up by the K+12 system next year with the group of Et-et.
Is it wise, from the point of being in a hurry, to flee from K+12 like a plague? Is K+12 more horrifying than K+10, this old, to-be-replaced system?
?????
Junnie:
I see Nong.
Our concern (mine and Papa’s) is also to see the COMPUTER SHOP realized with you, not Coycoy, as the main man…that you will take the lead and responsibility to make it easier and safer for Coycoy to enter into such business.
Nang Malouh:
Good a.m. So, Coycoy will just have to wait? This means he will start the new High School curriculum K+12 with Ezra (Et-et) next year.
Or is it OK to let Coycoy skip Junior High School (1st to 4th years) and take only the Senior High School (5th & 6th year)?
Cocoy: No, Nang. Coycoy must stop for 1 year if he were to wait to avail the advantages of K+12 program. The advantages of K+12 program as what have been explained by authorities are: (1) the focus on technical-vocational, job-oriented subjects and trainings during the Senior High School years, or 5th & 6th years; (2) the granting of diploma to signify to employers that you are qualified and have undergone Senior High School; so, the diploma will give you greater edge in getting the job; (3) the granting of Certificate which will be the basis if you want to go abroad.
??????????
DECISION FOR SCHOOL YEAR 2011-12:
STOP FORMAL SCHOOL THIS YEAR, ALSO TO WAIT K+12, BUT
MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL,
TO UNDERTAKE MAJOR OUT-OFF-SCHOOL STUDIES & TRAININGS FOR 2011-12
AREAS/SUBJECTS PURPOSES MEANS ENDS/GOALS
Agriculture To learn the whole process as well as master each step of the process in Organic Farming, to escape from food which are injected with chemicals. All chemicals are poisons – toxins, with varying potencies. Theory: at internet & books
Actual: at home: Livestock, Poultry, Vermi culture, Home Gardening To be a Master Organic Farmer (MOF)
Trainor in Organic Farming
Computer To serve as Coycoy’s actual practicing venue/ training ground in computer assembly and repair
Note: Back up venues are the computer shops of friends Computer Shop at Hill building, as Junnie & Papa encouraged Coycoy to become master in computer assembly, repair, H/W & S/W
Product Goal: Next generation computer gadget: the eLRMP (eLibrary-eReader-ebookMaker-ePublisher) Internet-Mobile solar-powered computer
Note: Cellular Phone is merely a channel, empty, not intelligent. This eLRMP is intelligent; it is an eLibrary, etc.
Arts To further know the master artists’ techniques and to do practice for mastery Home, internet,
We will launch products into business
Note: Arts do not have business as the end, only a side effect. The aim of arts is spiritually fulfillment & growth of artist and the beholders To be an artist who conveys the teachings of the Lord.
This year, to produce paintings that sold out as signs that your level of expertise is already high
Music To further know the master musicians’ techniques and to do practice for mastery Combined special tutorials and home practice
YouTube appearance & votes To be a musician who conveys the teachings of Divine Love.
This year, to produce YouTube concerts & live concert

QUICKER & MORE DIRECT EDUCATION OF COYCOY:
THEORY FIRST MONTH on Electronics/H/W-S/W assembly & repair, then ESTABLISH eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher) business
May 18, 2011
Dearest Franky and Thierry:
Thierry, with my computer and marketing background, I can serve as Coycoy’s ally/ senior partner and so, weeding all time-consuming activities, to do “short cut,” I and Coycoy will do immediately the following:
• As much as possible, have in our possession all the needed hardware and software to compose the eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher).
• Visit homes, discuss with them their needs for wholistic and specific education and talents development especially for the children. Result intended after the visit: complete list of the learning needs of the family members;
• At home: Find out or List the appropriate hardware and software to match or meet all the needs to make up the Customized & Personalized Family Educational Computer System (CPFECS).
• As soon as the CPFECS for that family or family member is completely listed, we will go back to present this SOLUTION and MEANS.
• Agree including the price and payment method, e.g., installment
• If they agree, we will go home to assemble the hardware and software.
• Deliver.
• Monitor the use. Act as “distant but instant” mentor.
• Perform repair and maintenance.
Can you help me and Franky start and keep the ball rolling as soon as possible. Thierry, we need your help and even leadership in:
• Determining the most appropriate hardware and software to best match or accompany the NR; educational and talent-development software; I’ll take the pain to determine the talents of the family or member; This “HOUSE-TO- HOUSE EDUCATION & LEARNING PROGRAM & ENTERPRISE.” Or to shorten and also not to make our purpose so visible, let’s shorten it: H2HELP Enterprises.” Sounds a good business name. That is probably the name I shall register in the Department of Trade and Industry. Our business and mission: To sell computer and publishing products that can help augment the education of family members.
• Assist us through advice and guidance in the technical aspect e.g., assembly of the hardware;
• Help us search and find and acquire the appropriate software, needed by the specific customers;
• Help us in the capitalization such as in the sending of the hard ward parts and software to be assembled by us.
• Bear with us until we can produce return and send back to Belgium, e.g., the monthly installment payment.
• In short, Thierry, offer yourself to be a partner in this business and endeavor. The hidden and greater goal is: Gift the “NR eLibrary” (the NR set of books) to every home.
Thierry, please lend us a hand.
This is for Coycoy.
This is for the many who will unwittingly benefit from the product or software we will be distributing. NOTE: In the computation of the final retail price, the individual prices of the hardware parts & peripherals (e.g., printer) and the prices of the softwares will be included except the NR eBOOKS which will be FREE.

A LETTER TO MA’AM ORCULLO REFUSING THEIR OFFER OF SCHOLARSHIP IN FORMAL SCHOOL
June 10, 2011
Ms. Darlita P. Orcullo
Sacred Heart Academy
Dear ma’am:
I appreciate the efforts you showed to ‘help’ us with regards to my son, Jonathan, to get ‘qualified’ to ROVEJENRA scholarship.
Thank you very much.
However, there were other options I was considering besides the ROVEJENRA scholarship.
Ture, I was first trying ROVEJENRA. Then, you sent word that my son would not be qualified due to (1) our being able to “afford” an education, and (2) your intention to give priority to the poorer beneficiary, which I agree and appreciate.
So, I did not feel hurt or bad that you did not initially accept my son.
I also have to admit that I can afford more than the farmer-fishermen parents, considering the fact that (a) we own a business; (b) I too have business partners based in Belgium; (c) I admit, I have better-off brothers and sisters and relatives who can help if I call for their assistance, for my son.
But my son does not need much of their help. He is full scholar and so he can pay his way.
The only reason why I have been glad of your initial refusal to accept my son to ROVEJENRA scholarship is this: it gave me time to finish my analysis and come up with a better choice how to educate my son the fastest and best way possible.
And that time also gave way for that better way to come on time. So, I had chosen to let my son undertake the quicker, shorter theory offered by ICS, online courses, as well as by my friends in the computer and business fields.
To give you a hint.
The students who took the long and winding road of formal education, e.g., BS in Computer Engineering/ Computer Science,
consumed 4 to 5 years and as much as P400,000.00 to finish the course, and yet, they still have not hit the core-skill, which should be either (a) HARDWARE SKILL: the ability to assemble and repair computer, along with a rich vocabulary of the names and brand and prices of computer parts; or/and (b) SOFTWARE SKILL: the ability to write/create computer programs to handle computer and internet tasks. Because there is plenty of good programmers nowadays who have made excellent programs to do certain basic and important computer tasks, this software aspect is no longer a big problem because, I repeat, most of the basic and important computer tasks already have excellent programs. For example, word processing, we have excellent programs for that task such as Microsoft Word, Word Perfect, etc. So, the software need is no longer that urgent.
There are of course some remaining tasks that can be classified as ‘sophisticated’ and high level and which require ‘genius’ programmers; but these are not the basic, since, as I’ve said, the basic computer programs are already available to the masses.
Anyway, my point is: I am taking the shortest path possible for the education of my son.
What is that shortest path? Passing family trade/skill.
In our family, the basic skill and business is baking and computer. I am presently working as an internet publisher and researcher.
These are the two basic skills that we are passing to our children, plus some aid from other experts. The formal schooling is only viewed by me, contrary to your common perspective, as minor and back up, and not the main focus and the major.
Why? Because formal schooling does not provide concentration to specific skills but offers still a lot of other subjects which do not have relation to the talent and skill you want your child to concentrate and master.
You may agree that these other subjects like the sciences, histories, are necessary for a well-rounded personality, I do not want to enter into a debate with you about that, since I too had taken them.
But maybe my family circumstance is different from the typical family which largely relies on formal schools to be able to see their own children educated.
I can provide computer and bakery skills to my children, quite faster than you, teachers. Why? Simply because I know these skills, to some higher degree, or up to certain level of expertise, and we also have the tools and equipment and machineries to let the children use for practice.
Computer and bakery are our two main areas of expertise.
To give you a real example how fast is hands-on parents-initiated passing of skill is, may I mention what I did to my son last week.
For the first time, I let him dismantle our computer and let him assemble it without my help. Result: he was able to do the whole task in just 54 minutes!
And compare that to students who finished a 4-year course in Computer Engineering/Computer Science who mostly could not dismantle and assemble a computer successfully.
They’ve spent over 1,000 days to study what they could not do at the end of their course: assemble and repair a computer.
That is true to software as it is with the hardware. How many of them can write a workable program after the course? Very few. Say, mere 5%.
Ma’am, here I am explaining to you one of the major causes of our education’s ineffectiveness: quality of our teachers.
Though it hurts you, teachers, but we have to accept the truth that among the 3 main factors of education (teachers, teachings and “teachee” or student), we have quality problems with our teachers – they are not practitioners nor expert in their fields, only in theory or classroom.
“So, how to do solve the problem?” you might ask me.
Well, let the teachers go out into the field first, practice what they were to teach, master first, then, go back to the school, to teach what they have already sharpened in practice.
There are teachers who are like that, such as field engineers who also decided to teach part time in their major subjects in engineering. They are the most qualified teachers or professors in the country. But sadly, they are very few.
90% of our teachers, from the elementary to college are have-not-been-practitioners of what they are teaching to the children. English. Math. Worse, Science. Most teachers have not even seen or touched a microscope when they were taking the science subject in high school and college.
So, their learning was also in theory.
I do not blame those poor students turned teachers. The blame goes to the authorities, including the government and also parents who did not press for a kind of education that does not only provide classroom, chairs but also screw drivers, hammer, saw, laboratories, microscopes, telescopes, tester, soldering guns, computers, machines, etc, etc.
Parents all over the country, as the citizens, could tell the government thus, “Opps, stop using anopog, go straight to concrete roads, so in a span of 10 years, all road projects will be completed. After all roads are completed, we could now proceed to provide schools with shop rooms, complete with screw drivers, hammer, saw, chisel or electric planer; soldering guns, testers; microscopes, telescopes; baking pans, oven, ; sewing machines; computers; or we could proceed to buy bulldozers to repair our farms, or convert our mountain slopes into rice terraces, and back hoes to gather soil for filling up.”
See?
We are already into the end of the world, and still we are not finished with our roads yet!
Is that wise?
Or just corrupt?
We know already the answer.
Back to our main topic.
Maam, the key to quality teachers lies in their being sent first to the field, gain mastery and then, after sufficient practice or experience, go to the schools to apply as teachers.
To me, diploma is not yet the final credentials. Diploma should only be the first credential, after which experience should be added as a must.
For example, a teacher for baking must first get the teaching diploma, then, go to a real bakery to serve and gain mastery in as many important aspects of the skill and business as possible, and if possible, become a successful bakery owner first, then, that is the right time for him or her to go to school and apply as teacher!
In short, teachers should first prove their mastery in the actual fields – in the fields of works and businesses.
So, the most qualified teachers in our country today, are not those who have finished college degrees or taken the masteral or not even the doctorate.
The most qualified teachers in our country are the master masons, the master carpenters, the English practitioners, the scientists, the farmers, the bakers, the foreman, the fisherman, yes, the expert workers.
If they are given guidelines, just little guidelines, how to instruct and transmit their skills using both the blackboard and the open field, then, they could in seconds turn themselves into very effective teachers in the country.
The entrepreneurs including the small businessmen and the workers who are expert in their fields are, I repeat the real qualified teachers in the country, not the classroom teachers.
What I am advocating is not the wiping away of classroom teachers, but their further assignment to the fields or for them to get personal experience in business or actual works, so they will become real experts.
This means to say that, to hasten the quality-fication of our very poor education, THERE MUST BE AN EXCHANGE PLACES BETWEEN BUSINESSMEN/PRACTITIONERS AND CLASSROOM TEACHERS.
Send first the classroom teachers to the field; then, those businessmen and experts workers who have been in the field for decades must take over the schools! Opps! I did not mean what you think! I did not mean firing all teachers without giving them a smoother way to transform into field workers and practitioners.
This can be done with wisdom and without creating great confusion and trouble.
For example:
The government or parents or their associations can let all owners of restaurants, bakeries, stores, machine shops, barber shops, contractors, put up a makeshift or small lecture room, in their business or at homes, equipped with all lecture equipment (projector is even easier for some to acquire than for the government to provide their schools with the same). Or those enlightened entrepreneurs, big and small, can do it without being told by the government or parents; purely their own initiative.
What are these enlightened entrepreneurs to do with regards to providing quality education to the young people?
It’s quite easy. There is no need of billions to construct expensive classrooms. All I have to do is make a lecture room or convert one room into a lecture room, but the basic or even the sophisticated teaching tools, from chalk and blackboard to laptop and projector. It all depends on the will and capacity of the entrepreneur concerned.
We are talking here of the basic skill for occupation and wealth-creation, as well as job generation, which are the basic problem in the country.
We are not talking here about English, which can, if taken along with actual practice, can be learned or mastered as early as in the elementary grades.
We are talking here of skills that are necessary to serve the people satisfactorily and at the same time to be used as the means to earn a living, help generate additional jobs, and also to create wealth.
Thus, here come the entrepreneurs and the skilled workers.
They are the most qualified teachers in their own specific fields. They are the untapped master-teachers in their own fields where the graduates or their students will surely go away really skilled.
For we have already proofs that even if education and benefit of the young person is not the main aim, yet, the trainings provided by the bakeries like Julie’s Bakeshop, Park & Go bakeshop, or even our own few (three) bakeries, on our workers, have seen these young workers who started without any skill, left our bakeries skilled and master in baking, marketing, etc.
A few of these even went a step farther and became successful bakery owners – new entrepreneurs – themselves.
Teachers who lack experience and schools that lack the facilities for real experience, should now be seen for what they are --- inadequate quality of education.
As what I’ve said, teachers, after graduation should go first to the field to apply their major subjects, and only those which they have honed and applied very successfully shall be the subjects in which they shall be qualified to teach in the classroom.
The entrepreneurs as well as the expert workers shall be tapped to become real teachers. Where? In the shop, in the venue of business or work, or it may be that a lecture room constructed near the work or business site, to facilitate a smooth lecture. But this classroom shall not replace onsite instruction when the latter is needed. Remember, the lecture room must only serve as aid, not the main teaching ground. The main teaching ground is where the machines, the tools, the work are found.
While culinary or baking schools require months or not less than 2 years to teach skills for hotel and restaurant, we, in the actual bakery or restaurant business, can teach the same skill in just days!
While colleges and universities require 4 years or over 1,000 days to teach a child how to repair and assemble a computer, I have done that with my 12-year old son, or rather my son did it, in just 54 minutes!
See the difference?
The morale in this thing called education is this: QUALITY IS ACHIEVED BY NOT ENTRUSTING THE BURDEN TO TEACHERS; STRONG & ACTIVE BACK UP MUST BE GIVEN BY PARENTS, ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE THE SAME SKILLS AND ALSO BE ENLIGHTENED ENTREPRENEURS.
I said “enlightened” because only entrepreneurs who have ripened in altruistic Christian love will do it, out of genuine concern for the good of our young people and for the good of our country.
When the businessmen adopt this part of true Christianity, or true godly way, concerning teaching and training, described in Scriptures like Deuteronomy 15:12-18, and if all entrepreneurs and master skilled men would fulfill the will of the Father, which is to help everyone develop, not hinder, his talent as shown in the Parable of the Talents and Pounds (Matthew 25 & Luke 19), then, YOU CAN WITNESS A SUDDEN SURGE OF EXPERTISE AND EXCELLENCE, never achieved by classroom theory teachers!
Teaching time will be reduced to days, or weeks from the present curriculum lasting 2 to 5 years!
And huge savings will be enjoyed by parents who are mostly poor. The present 4-year course of BS in Computer Science costs a few thousand pesos close to P400,000.00, for not-so-extravagant students.
But shrinking the learning period to weeks and by trainors and teachers who do not charge a tuition fee, LOOK, HOW MUCH HEAVY BURDEN WILL HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SHOULDER OF MANY BACK-BENT PARENTS!
***
Will this mean the closing or folding up of many high rise colleges and universities?
Yes.
***
What about the case of a child who has a talent different from the rest of the family.
Answer: The parents must look for the entrepreneur-teacher who is expert in this particular talent. It may not even be heavy if such parents would give some token amount as gesture of gratitude to the said trainor.
Do this hands-on and onsite trainors – these entrepreneurs and skilled workers, need tuition fees?
Answer: No, they don’t need payments from parents. For they do not exist from tuition fees. They thrive in giving real services and products which customers pay for their worth.
So, this is a great news for parents: FREE QUALITY EDUCATION IS POSSIBLE.
It is all up to us, how we are going to design a system such as what I have just shown you, by thinking outside the box, not allowing ourselves to become slaves to the present system where the commercialization of education has rendered education both expensive and low-quality.
***
Where shall the owners and teachers of high schools, colleges and universities go?
Answer: If they want to stay in business and not stay out of business, they’ll need to be at par with the business enterprises, and that means: being able to provide the learning environment which is actual or at least virtually actual, so, it can be in the form of school-located for workshops.
***
The K+12 is expected to be like this: ALL HIGH SCHOOLS WILL BUILD SHOPS FOR DIFFERENT TALENTS AND SKILLS.
For talents, there shall be music shop where music students are molded to become expert composers, great singers, etc. There must be art shops where young artists are honed to become real great artists.
For manual skills or talents, such as electronics, computer, carpentry/furniture/masonry, baking, cooking, sewing, and the likes, there must be school shops as well as there must be after the school shops, link to actual works and business where the students will be assigned.
The schools must not only be more hands-on now; they also must be directly connected in partnership with real business where they can send their students to apprentice.
This is the kind of schools that are needed.
So, we have two kinds of schools in mind: the lecture rooms in different enterprises, and the existing schools added with shops.
So, here we will see the closer coordination of schools and entrepreneurs.
The third key factor, even more important than the first two, is the parent.
The parent should be skilled – at least in his or her line of work. Right?
Okay, the children who are inclined to the skills and expertise of their parents must be immediately (as early as 3 years old) be guided to learn the trade or talents of their parents, first, in a way which they will not feel its weight and complain it’s difficult. Just expose the child to see how it works, then, he will learn more of it at very early age.
If you can convert it into a play, such as letting carpentry skill by practiced by having the kids use card boards or lighter materials to construct a pet animal house, not yet real house. In this manner, the kid or kids are learning fast by sort of playing. The seriousness of the ant and the playfulness of the grasshopper (remember the story of the ant and the grasshopper?), will best serve as the best way to teach children who are too old to get serious.
I did it to my son and his siblings.
For years, I let him see the computer, to let them “familiarize and feel at ease” but without them knowing it. Just enjoy using the computer and they did not know the “exposure” thing. I even opened one wall/side of the computer to make the inside visible while any of the kids did some typing on the keyboard, or played some computer games, or drew something, etc.
They arrived at a point, at age 12, when they were familiar with how the parts look like and what are their names. And when, a few days ago, came the serious business of dismantling and aseembling the computer took place, my eldest son did it in 54 minutes, while the second finished it in 66 minutes.
So, the real thing speaks for itself. WHAT IS BEING TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS IN 4 YEARS CAN BE LEARNED IN JUST A FEW HOURS – if you are a wise parent or teacher.
Yes, even if you would not take years of exposure and just settle for a few days, you still can attain quick learning. For example, all you can do is let the kids/students take a close look at the real thing, I mean, the computer, let them draw it in details, if necessary, over and over , for the first 6 days, and in the 7th day, let them dismantle and assemble it. The same fate will happen!
It is the commercial –read: profit - motive – of the school owners and the income-needs of the theory teachers that have dominated the education industry and who knows how many sweats, tears and blood that you have caused poor parents to shed just to let their children get an education which ended up to be for-employment-only-and-not-for-independence-and-wealth-creation.
Just go around and ask parents how disappointed they have been to realize, too late, that the college education upon which they put their full trust and total hope – has turned out to be a fake savior – no one has been saved from poverty by these so-called schools, colleges and universities!
You don’t what to admit it – but you cannot deny all of the time the truth: that these schools have become instruments of worsening poverty! Better were the independent farming life of old times; families were abundant in food and health.
What do you have today? Much head knowledge or book knowledge plus scant food supply which almost does not meet the next meantime?! And plenty of diseases?!
We are far poorer today in real treasures than our ancestors were. We are very poor in fresh water and fresh air. We are very poor in wholesome and nutritious food. We are very poor in health. We are very poor in real peace and happiness. We are poor in real treasures where our forefathers were very rich.
So, what praises can you accolade our colleges and universities? They are empty of the real things, and full of the vain things!
****
Do I want them to fold up?
Answer: If they can not stop their profit-motivation, let us go for the non-profit, no-fee option given by the entrepreneurs and skilled workers.
Or, if this is still a hard work to do, then, as parents, you can follow what I do and am doing: USE YOUR AVAILABLE TOOLS AND RESOURCES TO TRAIN YOUR CHILDREN TO ATTAIN EXPERTISE AS YOUNG AS 12 YEARS OLD!
Do not entrust the training, learning and education of your children, especially if they are few and thus you do not have many options, please do not entrust them to our theory teachers.
These theory teachers are more of the victims who are made to bear the burden that does not actually belong to them, but to parents… if parents would only realize that parents who abdicated every thing to teachers are the ones who are complacent and lazy!
These poor theory teachers have been the innocent pitiful targets of blame by parents who are actually the main ones to blame.
Fellow parents, and fellow Parents-Teachers-Association presidents, you can’t blame me for being the first one to have seen the errors that have been covered for so many years!!!
It is all up to you now: To see with me or to remain blind to our own peril!!
May the Good Lord and all-loving Father show you what I have started to show to you…. for the liberation of our nation and people!
For I can show you, if you ask, the Lord’s own statement and declaration THAT TEACHING INSTITUTIONS LIKE SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES THAT HAVE MUCH PROFIT BUT LESS EXPERIENCE IN THE FIELD will result to “Blind guiding the blind and both fell into the ditch”!
You can quickly read His Word in www.franky1.com
Open and download Book 25 of The New Revelations of Jesus Christ, chapter 1.
Then, you will see that for-fee education is not God’s will…. Free education is God’s will. And only when we say, “Your will be done” will true and total education will be attained by all”!
***
There is an important reform already necessary in the elementary grades level: HANDS-ON MUST ALREADY BE DONE THERE. For both academic and non-academic. There must be an urgent Herculean task and initiative for teachers and parents to do, namely: FIGURE OUT HOW Academic subjects like English, Math, Sciences, History, be applied and mastered, and become useful to the individual pudent (pupil-student). They must be practiced. The PTAs must find or create uncostly ways to practice what is taught inside the classroom. Second part of this reform must be the restoration or introduction of practical arts focusing on work skills and talent development of the pudents.
So, let us imagine the new curriculum to be like this: morning for the academic subjects, and afternoons for the non-academics, e.g., skills and talents developments. Music and arts can be academic for general teaching but must be also classified as special talents for those who are gifted in music and arts.
Drawing from the examples of very progressive nations, they have their children know electronics, compose songs and music, or become artists and skilled in other occupations as early as 8 years old!
Rest assured that the elementary schools are used in attaining such superb result of wisdom and industry (diligence).
***
After the elementary and I suggest, only 2 years of high school focused on English, Math, Science, History.
The next two years shall be serious on specializing one’s talents to become a work skills…leading to turning them into a great enterprise (source of profit, wealth and employment for many).
***
These are my current ideas... and probablt many more later on… based on the Lord’s edict to make EDUCATION AS FREE AND AS HANDS-ON AS POSSIBLE.
Gains, profits or earnings shall begin in the application of such education in the job or work sites, but the acquisition of education should be free, according to the Lord’s will, mentioned in “The New Revelation of Jesus Christ, book 25, chapter 1” at www.franky1.com.
May the Filipinos recognize the wisdom of God’s will. This will amancipate and liberate the people. This will make the Philippines grow and flourish.
The sacrifice of teachers to stop receiving salaries, and for them to take up the challenge to go apply their knowledge in real works and business, where they get their income or profits, especially in their own businesses, and where they can offer free hands-on education to young people, as their hands-on students, will lift up this poor country form its ignorance, poverty and misery, for it will no longer be “blind (or shall we say, less competent) teachers leading the blind students” but experts manning their own enterprises or working teams teaching the neophytes.
The disappearance of classroom-theory only teachers shall be a great blessing to the nation.
If and when the experts of different works, skills, talents and subjects who are now applying and daily increasing their knowledge and sharpening their knowledge through their field works and businesses, will replace the theory teachers, receive all students and distribute among them, training them, then, I bet this nation will rise in just a few years!
Because I have proven it with my young son. I saw him dismantle and assemble our computer in 54 minutes, and then the next time in just 26 minutes. And to think this kind of job is being taught for 4 years at the colleges, e.g., Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering/Computer Science!
Consider the vast difference between: 54 or 26 minutes versus 4 years. And consider the vast difference in cost. I only spent some P20,000.00 to buy the computer versus their course cost reaches P400,000.00 or even more!
So, parents, if you want to skip the high cost, and the long time of educating your children, consider TAKING CHARGE AND LEADING YOUR CHILDREN TO BECOME DILIGENT AND ADDICTED TO THEIR OWN TALENTS, NOT TO DRUGS OR TO LAZINESS AND TIME WASTING.
Our secret, dear parents, is no secret: THEORY PLUS HANDS-ON, WITH NO TIME GAP BETWEEN THE TWO AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. MEANING: APPLY IMMEDIATELY WHAT IS TAUGHT OR LEARNED. TIME MAKES US FORGET.
If it is hurt, then, time is good, time makes us forget. But if it is about good knowledge or lessons, ‘stand-by’ time is not good.
More on this later….as I move on establishing a HANDS-ON SCHOOL USING MY BUSINESS ENTERPRISE…
Godbless.
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ our Master-Teacher,

FINAL CURRICULUM, SCHEDULE & COST FOR COYCOY’S SPECIAL EDUCATION
June 28, 2011
Dearest Franky & Thierry,
The final decision for Coycoy’s special education: PUSH THROUGH WITH RITCHIE/WINSTON ELECTRONICS TRAINING, spanning 6 months from July 1, 2011 to January 1, 2012, AND POSTPONE THE B&J TRAINING to after January 1, 2012.
The reason: Coycoy needs the foundation of electronics. Ritchie/Winston provides this in various appliances, not just computer. Benjie concentrates only in computers. Second reason, B&J (Benjie) is providing the graphics course this season, which we, note Franky, Thierry, can first learn from the Presto software you have sent.
My principle in Coycoy’s training is: I will exhaust first what I know, and use first what we have, before going to more expert maestros. So, it is so in the case of graphics. Coycoy is now adept with Microsoft Paint which he uses in drawings. Then, I will first familiarize Coycoy with Adobe Photoshoppe and this Presto Photo and also Video editing software before I will hand him to Benjie for further graphics.
The electronics training will not be with Ritchie/Winston (July 1, 2011 – January 1, 2012) and afterwards, pass to Benjie (January 2, 2012 onward).
This also means that the apprenticeship in computer repair and assembly will first happen with Ritchie/Winston, then, later on (January 2, 2012 onward), with Benjie. We will need Benjie because he has the best opportunity for Coycoy to know computers, in as many brands and set up as possible, Benjie being the No. 1 supplier of computers in the province.
But because Coycoy needs and must have first the basic foundation in electronics which Ritchie/Winston provides, and because Benjie will need Coycoy only after he has that basic foundation, therefore, we will start first with Ritchie/Winston Electronics Shop (July 1, 2011 to January 1, 2012).
And afterwards, Benjie can let Coycoy help in the repair and assembly of computers in a manner faster than anywhere else, Benjie’s B&J Computers being most-selling computer stores in the province.
You will understand his more clearly as you read below.
So, to summarize Coycoy’s schedule: These 6 months (July 1, 2011 – January 1, 2012), Coycoy will study basic electronics at Ricthie/Winston Electronics Shop. It is both theory and hands-on. Coycoy is in the shop. He actually started last Monday (June 27).
The B&J apprenticeship will be after six months (January 1, 2012).
May we ask you to kindly bear a little more burden in our behalf. For, admittedly, we cannot bear this easily without you. We need your help.
This is for Coycoy’s final schooling needs, which we had finalized yesterday (Note: Part of this email was first written June 26), as follows:
LOCATION
TRAINING TYPE TRAINING VENUE SCHEDULE TOTAL HOURS LENGTH
OF TIME TUITION ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
1. Loon Lecture Winston Electronics Shop 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. 1 hour 6 months
(July 1 ’11 to Jan ’12) P100.00/day
Or P500 a week Near, not like Tagbilaran & Jagna
Focus of study & mastery;
1) Circuit boards & other parts of any appliances
2) Motherboard & other parts of the computer
This is going to be deeper because it is not just assembly of computer but actual electronics involving many forms of appliances There will be some project to spend for. Example: purchase of materials to make circuit board. Etc.
An additional expense of P2,000.00 per month.
Actual application/ apprenticeship Winston Electronics Shop 9 a.m. to 12 nn 3 hours 6 months
(July 1 ’11 to Jan ’12) free
- do -
NOTE: Coycoy’s study with P100.00 fee will be as long as 6 months, or can be as short as two (2) months, depending on his learning speed. Thus, his tuition will stop that soon, and maybe, just maybe, the Shop will afterwards in return pay him P50 instead for a half day’s work which if Coycoy can finish 3 repairs, can mean P1,050.00 for the shop owner. But with pay or not, I wish Coycoy to complete the 6-month plan, though he is not forced to, just to repay the kindness of his maestro, for teaching him the skill on electronics.
I have a plan: We will open electronics shops all over while we partner with Winston Electronic Shop to reproduce electronics-skilled technicians to man our shops. Skill mill, not anymore diploma mill. Coycoy will help train. This will be a sort of partnership. The main goal is: To help assemble lower-cost yet quality computers (including or especially eReaders), besides other appliances, to help hasten education of the people, and to help maintain those computers in good conditions.
It aches me to receive texts from mothers or parents who are my friends asking me to lend them some money for lacking tuition and they do not realize that they are going to reap half-cooked graduates out of their children through the normal, formal school system in the Philippines. Oh, if you only can read my heart, how I wish to turn ourselves into a hands-on school on electronics, baking, farming, etc. which the student can learn the skill in just a few months and then, we in our corporation/company, we will put up the capital for the ‘graduates’ to apprentice and then to latter manage. Their mothers and fathers will save hundreds of thousands of pesos and time which they are unfortunately wasting in the formal school which is too commercialized and lacking in hands-on.
The Father willing to let the 2012 transition to be less catastrophic, we will pursue our vision of hands-on education, which is according to NRJC 25, chapter 1, must be free. Much of the evil comes from the sale of education and the entry of money-oriented school owners and teachers, thus, leading to the present case: Blind leading the blind.
The following training schedule shall be postponed or even forestalled after the just mentioned ongoing 6-month training of Coycoy.

2. Jagna
NOTE: will be done 6 months later, together with computer repair and assembly apprenticeship with Benjie Lecture & Handson B&J Computers, Jagna Sat & Sun starting July 2 & 3 30 hours 15 sessions at 2 hrs per session, hence, 15 Saturdays & Sundays. So, up to Oct 8 & 9, 2011 P 2,900.00

P500 registration Not yet clear what s/w & h/w skills to be learned
Waiting for details as of June 28. NO RESPONSE from Jagna yet.
Seems to be waiting to reach minimum number of enrollees Investment not yet clear of return, e.g., what s/w & h/w skills
June 30 update: This July, 2011 course at B&J will center on graphics. So, Franky, Thierry, we will have to forgo that. What Coycoy needs now is a foundation in basic electronics to prepare him thoroughly for COMPUTER HARDWARE.
After graduation his basic electronics short-term course on January, 2012, he will proceed to apprenticeship on hardware at B&J Computers (Benjie’s) and may at the same time take the SOFTWARE ON GRAPHICS.
For the B&J Jagna training, I am planning to forego with it, after Winston told/assure me that Coycoy will have it in his shop. He is also repairing and assembling computers. [Note: June 30 – Decided to forego.]
This made me think that, once Coycoy has the right foundation knowledge and skill in electronics at Winston, then, I can easily let Coycoy work for Benjie for the repair and assembly of computers.
We still need to send Coycoy to Benjie (January, 2012) because it is with Benjie where the assembly and sales of computers as well as repair is very fast. Benjie is the leading computer assembler, repairer in Bohol nowadays and he has plenty of brands of parts which Coycoy needs to get familiar of. Benjie is the most updated when it comes to computer hardware.
So, with Winston first. Then, later, with Benjie. By the way, Winston is an expert like Ritchie. So, with Winston, we can skip Ritchie. Ritchie is teaching at the university, and works in his Tagbilaran shop only few hours a day, leaving the rest to his workers. Our first plan was for Ritchie to give lessons and training on electronics to Coycoy on weekends. Note: I wrote Ritchie/Winston because not only are they of same skill, each has an electronics shop, Winston in Loon, Ritchie in Tagbilaran, and there still exist the open possibility for Coycoy to also proceed to Ritchie’s shop, when we will feel the need. It will be more on apprenticeship and it is understood, to be no more tuition cost.
When I found Winston, it was a better blessing because Winston can do it on a daily basis, even including Saturdays and Sundays, but it was I who confined it to Monday up to Friday to give Coycoy time for other things, e.g., there is still the Jagna plan to study on weekends. Ritchie’s schedule for theory is Saturdays and Sundays. His schedule for Coycoy’s apprenticeship is still variable, e.g., can be also from Mondays to Fridays.
So, it is a better deal with Winston.
Coycoy has started his study this morning (June 26) [Note: This letter has been written in several dates to make updates, thus, some confusion on time. Bear with me].
Coycoy chose to walk to the shop which is located near the public market. His former classmates who are studying in high school will be riding to school, perhaps passing him by. He will have the same time to start, at 8:30 a.m.
And they will be asking, “What has happened to our valedictorian!”
But I encourage him to stay humble, because God will lift up the humble. And I keep reminding him why Lucifer fell: he became proud at his greatness. So, the lesson, I keep telling him and the other kids is: Greatness or talents with humility. We must not allow pride to replace or supplant humility. Our greatness or riches or talents should be used for God’s glory/happiness, and for the welfare of our fellowman.
Without this, Coycoy is in danger. My heart pleads to the Father for his sake. May He will lead him all the way….I am very concerned and anxious for the boy….May he has learned what I repeatedly taught him: the three parables of Matthew 25 and their lessons, namely: To get prepared for the coming of the Lord by (1) keeping the Lamp (Word, Bible, Scriptures) aflame with the oil (Holy Spirit) (Parable of the 10 Virgins); and by (2) “Occupy til I come,” e.g., developing and using one’s talents to the max (Parable of the Pounds and Talents), in order to (3) help the poor (Parable of the Goat and Sheep).
………………
So, Franky, Thierry, thus is the implementation of our plan as well as the additional burden. Hope you will not mind?
Forgive us for burdening you some more,
Your poor yet thankful friends always,
Cocoy & Coycoy

NEXT MOVE – REGISTER NEW BUSINESS ON COMPUTER REPAIR AND ASSEMBLY
August 10, 2011
Dear Franky,
Good morning from the Philippines.
With regards to internet access here in Badbad, we tried the other day to buy a prepaid SmartBroadband card worth P50.00.
This would entitle you to have an unlimited use of the internet for a whole day.
Problem is: The problem is the same – the signal is too slow. Two bars at most.
It was better the last time (months ago) when I could see even up to 4 bars, although not also permanently.
So, the idea of doing (testing) it in the building still remains, where Efren achieved a full 5-bar signal for his laptop some time ago.
So, that’s the first option.
There is another, and this is what I would like to tell you for future consideration. It is the suggestion of Winston, Coycoy’s electronics maestro. He suggested that there will be an additional antenna device to help this small SmartBro USB-type modem gain more signal.
For here in the house, he mentioned the need to have a pole to launch or fix the antenna. His price including the pole: P 3,500.00.
But he also advised to use the other USB-modem, namely: Globe Tattoo, instead of Smart’s SmartBro.
Which of these shall we try first?
I foresee that it will be better to wait for the hill to test the SmartBro USB-modem that we already have, and not yet consider buying Winston’s additional antenna.
For it is to the hill that we are going up to. Today, I will be going to Tagbilaran to obtain legalization (registration in the Department of Trade and Indsutry) of our computer repair and assembly business. It will cost around P500 to register our business name.
At first, it was JEJ for J-onathan (Coycoy), E for E-zra and J for J-ared. Then Coycoy said, Papa, let’s add Z.
“What for?”
“For Zebaoth!” Coycoy
It was then that I got what he saw in his mind. The acronym JEJ can mean Jesus Emmanuel Jehovah, instead of Jonathan Ezra Jared.
When Nong Toting visited us, he made fresh and emphatic the complete name Jesus Emmanuel Jehovah Zebaoth.
“Oh, yes!” is what all I could say.
Therefore, the name of the business is: JEJZ Computers. The Father will be in it.
But since our badge word is “Agape,” I wish to add “Agape” in it. So, it will be “JEJZ Agape Computers.”
After we’ve got the registration and hence have the legal personality, I wish to proceed to another step which is still not money-making but promotional: we will announce (write them a letter) to all village (barangay) captains as well as all school principals offering our two services: repair and assembly.
It will be promotional, which means: free.
Two things we hope to achieve here:
First, to make ourselves or our services known. That is, That we exist and that we can do this and that.
Secondly, we grow more in learning or ability to repair computers every time we encounter a new problem in computer and try to solve it.
And when we are already learned enough, say, after repairing or having tried to repair, the computers of the villages and schools, then, perhaps, that will be the opportune time – the right time – to start asking charges for our services.
Franky, Thierry, after we will have done a volunteer repair work for the computers of the villages and schools and perhaps individual owners, then, we can proceed to my original plan which is: To do retainer/maintenance work of the computers of the a) villages (barangays) which is the smallest government units here; b) schools, c) private persons.
So, step 1: Register first the business name at the DTI (Department of Trade and Industry);
Step 1b: Secure a Municipal Business License (which can be done later, but best if done in this step);
Step 1c: Have Official Receipts (ORs) printed (which can also be done later after Step 3
Step 2: Do volunteer repair services (as promo and as learning experience);
Step 3: Offer villages, schools, and private persons 1-year retainer service for P1,200.00 a year (travel expenses, however, are charged to customers).
So, this is a business I am establishing for Coycoy (and hopefully it will include the participation of his two younger brothers soon)– this year, 2011, in accordance to what I perceived to be the WILL and PLAN of the heavenly Father to (1) focus training and development on one’s own God-given talents; (2) to teach/impart the talent-skill HANDS-ON (not theory alone with the intention to slow down the learning of the students) so the learning can be fast and mastery be attained at an earlier age; (3) not letting the kids go through the formal schooling which is, here in the Philippines, is more of a delaying tactic or making the student half-cooked than educating him for independence and liberation from employment/slavery.
While Coycoy’s former classmates are still to undergo four years of high school and after that another four years of college before they can possibly be able to earn an income (that is, still 8 years from now, and that is, if they will not be stocked up among the growing number of unemployed due to over-supply of skill-less graduates) – they will find employment only by 2019….unless they will drop out of school and join Coycoy who will soon, not letting this year pass by, have his own business!
In this way, Coycoy will become 8 years ahead of his former classmates.
As we have computed the total cost of a 4-year college course to reach P500,000.00 not including allowances but only the basic study expenses, this THEORY-PRACTICE HANDS-ON METHOD OF PRACTICAL EDUCATION BY EXPERIENCE will save a lot for poor parents and students, both in time and money.
May the world come to know the Father’s teaching and will, namely: That paid education is a sin (New Revelation of Jesus Christ, Vol. 25, Chapter 1, www.franky1.com).
This letter is going to be circulated in the internet that the people especially parents and students be the wiser and get rid of teachers who get themselves paid and schools that get rich by letting poor parents pay tuitions.
The WILL of God is that education be FREE. How can that be free when teachers need salary to sustain themselves?
One solution to that is this: Let only the experts teach for they have already their own businesses or stable employment from where they source their income, and not by charging students tuitions fees.
One best move to usher a new world which is truly progressive and prosperous is to phase out paid teachers and replace them with the experts workers or businessmen who will then be the only teachers to teach apprentices right there in their shops – hands-on education.
It is the experts or masters in their own fields, which pre-supposes that they are earning income in their own fields, as foremen, or expert workers or as businessmen – it is they, and not the fresh passer of the teaching board examination, who are the true teachers.
As it is with secular knowledge and schools, so it is also the same policy from God for spiritual teachers (priests, pastors, ministers) or churches, the spiritual schools. Diploma does not qualify a teacher, in God’s eyes. It is mastery by actual long experience and steady repeated application of your skill that can make you a qualified teacher.
This is the message from our heavenly Father in His teaching entitled “Many Are Called, But Few Are Chosen” in chapter 1, Volume 25, The New Revelation of Jesus Christ, at www.franky1.com
It has been a big deceit done by the churches and schools on blind mankind that they had interpreted – read: misinterpreted! -- the clause “Many Are Called, But Few Are Chosen” as “Many Are Called to Salvation, But Few Are Chosen to be Saved”!!?? That’s a lie. The correct meaning of this clause “Many Are Called, But Few Are Chosen” is this: “Many Are Called to Learn, But Few Are Chosen to Teach.” That is the true meaning which you can read the aforementioned first chapter of NRJC, volume 25.
May we be the wiser so that parents can escape from the high cost of today’s education and the resulting low level of work skill of their children.
It’s me a father struggling for an efficient and effective educating of his children,

August 19, 2011
Explanation:
This calls for an introductory explanation lest you will accuse me of over-speeding or impatience.
There are three speeds, two of which are wrong and only one is right. They are namely: too slow, sufficient, and too fast.
In accordance to these speeds, there are also three human traits corresponding to the 3 speeds, namely: procrastination, patience, and impatience.
If you are too fast, as what is happening in our instant era, that can be described as us IMPATIENCE, getting impatient or practicing impatience. Too fast or being impatient can mean harm, in many cases.
For example: instant food – fast foods – are giving us low quality food, lots of fats, lots of salts, lots of sugar and their results: speeding up the development of cancers, cardio-vascular diseases, kidney diseases, diabetes, etc. So, impatience or being too fast is not good, most of the time, if not all of the time.
That’s one extreme.
Now, if you swing to the other end, you will find the other extreme, namely, that of being extremely slow. Also not a correct timing. Too slow connotes wasting time, being lazy, or fearful. Low production, low profitability or even deficit and bankruptcy. In this extreme, poverty and misery is the lot.
We find here negative words like mañana habit, procrastination (thief of time), laziness, indolence, deficit, bankruptcy.
In the parable of the Talents (Matthew 25) and Pounds (Luke 19), we find our Lord being against of laziness, cowardice, not developing and using talents to serve others.
So, God is against both impatience (too fast) and indolence (wasting time).
What is God’s will? To which He is in favor of?
Only the center: the correct speed. Not too slow, not too fast. Or correct timing.
I would like to tell you that here patience belongs. Patience is not too slow; it is not getting too fast so you can attune to the right speed. Patience is not too fast, nor too slow, just the right speed or pace of time.
In patience, you go with the natural speed God has assigned to His creation. For example, what is the speed or time required for a woman to bear a child? 9 months. Okay, if people would transgress that and attempt to make it in less than 9 months, harm will be done.
In driving, there is correct speed, based on circumstances. Not too fast, not too slow. In cooking too, there is correct timing or speed. If you put too much fire or heat, your rice or fish would not end up delicious. They may even get burned!
In everything, as the Preacher says, there is time or correct timing or right speed.
I’ve mentioned that to make you easily comprehend that since from the beginning, THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO SLOW DOWN – READ: SUPPRESS – THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FILIPINO, SO THAT HE WILL REMAIN LOW I.Q., WEAK AND FIT TO REMAIN AS SERVANT, SLAVES, WORKERS, EMPLOYEES.
So far, that is our present reputation – the case of the majority of the Filipinos: we are servants to the white race/ industrialized nations. The bulk of our overseas workers are as domestic helpers, care givers, cook, utility persons, nannies, slaves, sex slaves, prostitutes, drug mules, drug pushers, all kinds of low, dirty and dangerous works.
God help us!
As for us, what we can do is avoid the SUPPRESSIVE, SLOWER SYSTEM OF EDUCATION which produces half-cooked, half-baked, partially skilled, graduates. We must pursue the type of education, training, and experience that will make us FREE, INDEPENDENT BEINGS, not a master, nor a slave. That is the original will of our heavenly Father. Not a slave, not a master.
We cannot get that from the formal education that is being implemented by our schools. We must design, with the Father’s guidance, the type of education that removes all delaying tactics, to achieve the right speed for the individual student. Not one is the same. As parents and teachers, we must let the student strike his/her own speed. Not wasting time, nor advancing too fast.
What we are doing with my eldest son, Coycoy, is trying to strike the correct speed. Not too fast, neither too slow.
But I am of the opinion that the average parent or teacher who has not known the correct speed of learning, would most probably be astonished to see my eldest son, Coycoy, learned how to repair and assemble computers (skills which graduates of 4-year degree computer science are not able to master despite studying 4 years), creates MP4s or video K songs by mixing music/songs, lyrics and appropriate pictures and/or videos, knows about organic farming, and many other home tasks at age 13!
Many would be astonished how on earth a child could master the skill of computer repair and assembly at age 13, for example, which graduates of Computer Science at age 20 are not sufficiently skilled to do. That my son is 7 years advanced in learning would cause many parents and teachers to accuse me of over-speeding up my son’s learning.
My answer is this: I am not over-speeding up my son’s learning nor is he lacking time to play and relax in his young age. He has plenty of time for everything.
What we are doing here is not an “all works no play makes Johnny a dull boy” scenario. I AM SIMPLY REMOVING ALL DELAYERS OR TIME-WASTERS THAT THE SCHOOLS OR EDUCATION MINISTERS HAD INSTALLED IN OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM!
One worst delaying tactic is the presence of lots of theories and the dismal lack of hands-on or practice! So, from Grade 1 to 4th year College (14 years), the student keeps on memorizing about the 8 parts of speech without having mastered them!
They of young minds ought to have learned the 8 parts of speech in short time. But they could not because there is no emphasis to practice; rather, every block was placed to prevent practice! Forgive me for telling the truth.
On the other hand, many have already heard of adults being hired to work in Saudi Arabia or Japan and how in a short crash course they were made to learn to speak Arabic or Niponggo, languages which they never prefer to English. And yet they were able to learn that hard languages in just few months!
Despite all the odds. Despite the fact that they do not like those languages. Despite the odd of being old and slow to learn already.
But why is it that these adults learned faster than young students? Answer: Because they did it hands-on, not all-theory approach.
So this is our strategy to attain fast learning: REMOVE ALL THAT SLOWS DOWN THE CHILD’S LEARNING. That’s all. We do not push the child too fast; he is not going too fast. Just the right speed for him.
You may be thinking it to be too fast because we have been in the other extreme, too slow, so that any increase of speed will appear to be too fast or wrong!
But no, the boy is having it his own speed. We just remove all that wastes time and slows down. All blocks and barriers to learning. So, at age 13, he has learned the skill learned by others at age 20 who followed the turtle-paced educational system.
***
Now, we are ready to present the update of Coycoy’s ongoing education. To wit:
COYCOY’S NEXT MOVE August 19, 2011
I’m registering the business name of the computer shop for Coycoy. As much as opportunity comes, Coycoy is offering his service to repair for free still. No payment yet. As planned, as soon as he can have or we can have our business name, we will make it more known by sending or informing schools, villages as well as private computer owners that we are OFFERING FREE REPAIR FOR COMPUTER PROBLEMS as a, say, one-year promotion (and which is also to us a learning experience as we increase our experience with problem and solution every computer we receive for repair).
Probably, after one year, we will be qualified enough to charge our services.
This does not necessarily conflict with Coycoy’s working for Benjie for higher exposure or more advanced skill. The two boys and I will be assisting Coycoy.
As soon as these materialize, the next move will be to construct a small shop for Coycoy in the Jagna residence. In the backyard. Vida is already amenable to this. We are not afraid to do this, as we consider it to be a satellite shop (neophyte shop) to be linked to Winston shop at first. Meaning: what Coycoy cannot solve or repair, he will pass to Winston or to Benjie.
I also talked to Winston and Ritchie (not with to Benjie) that they serve as hands-on teachers/trainors to produce skilled electronicsians in just a few months to be detailed or assigned to new shops we will open. So, it is going to be a speed education from short-term theory to actual practice. Again, there is no fear for the neophytes as their maestros will be on standby ready to receive what they cannot repair or to assist them to repair the hard problems.
This is going to be a far better alternative to the theory-filled, cart-slow, turtle-dragging type of education that we have here in the Philippines, namely: the formal education consisting of the pre-school (1-3 years), the elementary (6 years), the high school (at present 4 years) and college (at least 4 years).
***
Franky, there is a minor yet very effective revision of Coycoy’s 6-month Electronics schooling at Winston Electronics Shop. Namely: Not later than in the beginning of the second half, that is, in the 4th month, I will arrange with Winston to start hiring Coycoy for the whole day (He attends training only in the mornings). The target is: at least one appliance a day will be repaired by Coycoy. So, that is at least P100 and as easy as P350 earning for Winston! So, Winston will be gaining from Coycoy’s service, even if he will start with the easiest tasks which are consuming part of Winston’s precious time. So, with Coycoy assisting him in the simple yet time-consuming tasks, Winston can not only concentrate to harder task but also to higher earning, not to mention what he will earn through Coycoy.
Now what for Coycoy?
Here’s the system. We will still pay Winston P100 a day. But I will secretly agree with or instruct Winston to pay P 20 and up to P50 of it to Coycoy. So, Coycoy will be more motivated to learn faster and work harder. Winston will pay Coycoy P50 a day… EVERYDAY so it will appear that it is Winston who is paying him, that it is not us. We will refund Winston as soon as we pay him the tuition.
It will then appear that we will be paying Winston only P50 a day tuition, instead of the original P50. But in reality, because Coycoy will be giving him at least P100 earning a day, therefore, we and Coycoy, will be paying him more than P100 a day!
More than the monetary aspect of it, I see this is going to accelerate some more the speed at which Coycoy is now learning (earning just an incidental effect).
What do you think? Do you agree to this idea?
So, in the first 3 months, it is theory and practice, no earning. In the next 3 months, it will be no more theory, all practice and earning.
To remember, Coycoy started at Winston’s Electronics Shop last June 27, 2011.
***
First project of Coycoy: a tiny circuit board for our radio. The radio is now in good condition. What is more: he has converted it into electric-powered, no longer battery-powered.
About Coycoy’s next project: Franky, Winston suggested to us that TV will be Coycoy’s next and more real project. The cost: P2,300.00 or was it P2,500.00, more or less.
At first, I did not agree although I did not yet tell him my final position. I preferred computer to be the project, for the main reason that TV mainly miseducate us towards the evil knowledge and emotions/ characters of the emerging Babylon-Beast system. So, I ordered that no TV shall be found at home.
That changed when we found another use, this time, good use, of TV, namely: MP4 songs player!
So, it means the TV and a player.
That is more feasible. And I feel we need to have one of it (both TV and player) so we can test-play our MP4s before copying them into the CD/DVD and before our customer will play it in his/her home where he/she will usually use TV. TV is the most common here. There seems to be some difference between computer’s CD/VCD/DVD drive and monitor compared to TV and a player. I am referring to compatibility.
So, it’s good if we have their kind of TV and at least the most common player in town.
A second option is still an idea, because this will yet to be invented or assembled: a monitor and a player as its stand. Please see below.
I got the idea after seeing our new Acer LCD monitor. Flat screen.
As I was discussing with Coycoy, I asked him: “Coy, what about using a flat screen/LCD monitor plus a CD/VCD/DVD player located on the stand of the monitor. The shape of the player is round, a little bigger than the CD.”
“But Papa, the player’s cover is mostly opened up!”
“Well, we may use the idea of the computer’s DVD drive: drawer type, so we can place it as a stand of the LCD screen.”
That makes it very portable.
Can we have a sample done there Franky, Thierry? This idea is difficult to materialize here in the Philippines as (1) I do not have access to inventors/ manufacturers; (2) I still do not know how I am going to go about it, e.g., whom shall I see and where shall I go?
I of course wish that Coycoy or someone close to me can do it. But how easy? How soon?
So, I settle for the next I think more feasible think: I will just be its seller. But can you help have it manufactured?
OK, there’s a laptop version of it. I remember. That will do also.
But the thought of its being small and difficult to share with many people. What about adding the feature-capability of an overhead projector which can be used when more people will like to watch the DVD? So, it’s a DVD Player and an overhead projector in one.
Nothing is impossible.
I also encourage whoever it may concern that they add to the laptop or eReader or notebook the feature of an overhead projector so we can use it in training, teaching or lecture purposes.
Laptop and Projector in one.

Coycoy’s Second Phase -- Start-To-Earn Phase
(September to December, 2011)
Note: First Phase was non-earning, but theory and some hands-on. This second phase introduces bonus or allowance as the first step towards letting Coycoy earn from what he does. From my point of view, money is not the better reward for your service; joy in the heart for being able to help someone in his/her need is the greater reward. Money is only needed in this present system so Coycoy will have money to buy food, since he cannot till the land if he uses his time fixing and repairing computers for others.

DATE : August 24, 2011
TO : Winston
FROM : Nong Cocoy
RE : Second Phase which can hasten Coycoy’s mastery
TEXT :
Doy Winston,
Coycoy’s basic understanding regarding the world of electricity and electronics seems to have been satisfactory.
At home, he has repaired his computer’s audio ports, and they are now functioning well.
He can now measure the flow and supply of electricity in the outlets etc. using the tester.
He knows now how to solder and also clean circuits from old solder-lead.
His ability to diagnose (troubleshoot) seems to be needing actual practice to sharpen.
This is what we will support for the second phase, starting September and ending December, 2011.
HE WILL PRACTICE THE BASICS THAT YOU HAD TAUGHT HIM THESE PAST TWO MONTHS.
First, we will give him at least one appliance a day for him to diagnose (trouble shoot) and with little guidance from you, he will repair it. It will be good that if possible, different problem in the same appliance. And later, different appliances. That would be ideal. But we cannot fully control what appliances with what problem/s will the next customer bring to us. So, let us leave it that way.
Second, as for the benefits that we will gain, from this method, here is what I see:
For Coycoy: Accelerated learning because the theory is immediately used and applied. To increase his desire to work, we will add monetary incentive to his original desire to learn. So, it will be learning and earning. Twin-motivations. Hopefully, he will be happier with that. We will give him P50.00 a day, not as an allowance but as a reward if he can fulfill his basic daily goal. What is his daily basic goal? To repair at least one appliance. If he can do that, then, we will “pay” him P50.00! Additional repairs will not be counted, at this time, because we will limit his earning as he is not yet responsible and mature, being only 13 years old.
Where will we get that P50.00?
And how are we going to pay him, daily or weekly.
Well, I will divide the original P100.00 tuition. P50.00 a day for you and P50.00 for Coycoy. But as said, only when he will have met the minimum goal of one appliance successfully repaired/ assembled. If no successful repair, or not yet finished, then, no bonus of P50.00 shall be given until he has successfully done that. This is to be per performance, or per piece basis, not on how much time he has put into it.
And here is more: He must not know that the money comes from me. It must be seen by him as something from you, because you are satisfied and happy for his performance. Never must he know that I am giving you P50.00 to reward him. It will be between the two of us. Please do not tell him that I am allocating the P50.00 and no longer for you.
Now, how will this be paid? It appears that weekly is good, especially if I can make my tuition payment regular on a weekly basis. But if you can give him P50.00 at completion time, that is, right after he has finished a job, then, that will be the ideal. Or here is another good timing: as soon as the customer claims and pays his/her appliance.
YOUR BENEFITS:
By reducing the original tuition of P100.00 to P50.00 seems to appear that you will lose P50.00 a day. But here is the catch – the magic: BY GIVING COYCOY THE OPPORTUNITY TO REPAIR, YOU WILL HAVE IN THAT AN AUTOMATIC OR ADDITIONAL WORKER BY WHOM YOU CAN EARN MORE.
So, in addition to the P50.00 that I will pay you no matter what happens, you will earn a full payment from Coycoy’s successful repairs, say, P100.00 or P300.00 or even more every appliance! So, this is going to help you financially, something I and Coycoy will consider as our happiness and our way of repaying your help. It will be our gesture of “Thank you” for the opportunity of training Coycoy.
So, this new procedure of letting Coycoy help in the earning, your Shop will actually benefit more than if we let him remain an unprofitable trainee! This system will accelerate both learning and earning. Learning to teach on your part, and learning on the part of Coycoy, as your student. Earning on the part of your Shop as well as earning on the part of Coycoy.
It is a wise method, right? Wisdom.
And our “gratitude” may not end there. For as what I had told you, I want you to help train as many boys as possible and as fast as you can. We will detail (assign) them to different towns, outside Loon. I will take care of the capitalization as well as management. It will be a chain of Computer and Electronics Services Shop.
Behind this is my broader feeling of pity to many poor young boys in our country. Many of them have already graduated with no workable knowledge in science and technology, thus, they will not be able to invent, or make things or innovate. They, as we already know, would and will remain employees – paid workers, a sort of slave, modern slave. This will not help our country. What our country needs is creative, inventive, innovative, entrepreneurial men.
Let us make this our goal: TO HELP MAKE OUR YOUNG MEN BECOME CREATORS, INVENTORS, INNOVATORS, ENTREPRENEURS, INDUSTRIALISTS. Be it in the fields of agriculture, music, arts, electronics, etc.
****
Doy, I had already yesterday registered the name of the business: JEJZ AGAPE COMPUTERS & ELECTRONICS SERVICES. It is registered as a sole proprietorship first, under my name, but it will evolve into a partnership and then corporation including you, Ritchie, Coycoy, many of our relatives and friends. We have stable access of capitals to rely on. Capital is not a problem. The problem or challenge is the training of young men whom we can assign to different towns.
Please do not fear this to become a competitor to your present electronic business here in Loon. For I believe that MASTERS DO NOT FEAR COMPETITORS. Because no matter what, customers will come back to him if he is really good. The ability is inside you, so, as long as that ability is inside you, and you do not stop using it to serve people, they will keep coming back to you for your service, which will also sharpen as time rolls by.
Secondly, I have you and Ritchie in mind. I will include you in the business expansion. I have access to capital and also knows a little about putting up and managing branches. It is my profession and field: corporate planning, e.g., putting up of branches. The branches of The Bohol Institute of Technology as well as Save N Earn are my idea, e.g., proposal to the owners.
I know the keys (secrets) to successful branching.
I have relatives in Negros Occidental who also, after I told them of the idea, were able to branch out. They have now branches in San Carlos City, Bacolod City, and I think also in one city before Bacolod, Sagay City I think, aside from their main store in Escalante City. The name of their chain of Minimart & Supermarket is: RAM General Enterprises which is a grocery and a department store, etc.
For our envisioned Chain of Computer & Electronics Shops, Ritchie and you will take care of the technical as well as skills training. I will take care of the capitalization, management, as well as accounting. Sooner than we may think, JEJZ AGAPE Chain of Computer & Electronics Shops will become a partnership between you and us, and then, a corporation, with you as the maestros. We can copy the tactic of Mac Donalds; they put up their own Donut University. We may have our own Computer & Electronics University.
The purpose is to make Filipino men stronger economically so that we will no longer see our mothers, sisters, wives and daughters risk their lives and honor in dangerous waters where crocodiles exist in abundance, where they are abused, raped, degraded!
Why? Because, their men (e.g,. fathers, husbands, brothers) are weak.
I also envisioned that someday, we will be able to establish our own ORGANIC FARMING UNIVERSITY where the resulting farmers will become rich in their agro-business, not just ordinary farmers, so that they, too, can prevent their family from undesired scattering. If they would scatter, then, let it be that it is done because they go to establish businesses, not to offer themselves as slaves, or to overcome poverty or to find money to feed their husbands and children!!??
If God will allow us, then, we will also make our business into a house of scientists and inventors!
We will produce great technologies and inventions, as much as our heavenly Father will grant us.
So, you see, we will have unlimited potential if we work together.
For the meanwhile, let us keep our great dream and vision secret inside our heart, not letting anyone know it, lest they will mistake or accuse us of being ambitious and proud. Let us focus on the humble work at hand. I ask you to focus your training to your two younger brothers and to Coycoy.
As soon as we, or they are ready, Jagna is the next or the first site of a new shop.
Hoping for your approval to my request as well as for your kind support,
Sincerely yours,
Nong Cocoy
P.S. I will see you personally to follow up for your response before September or first week of September, regarding Coyco’s next step, as laid out above.
Thanks a lot.
Next, comes the monitoring of his performance.

WINSTON’S DIFFICULTY TO ABIDE BY THE ONE-DAY ONE-REPAIR GOAL OF COYCOY
September 15, 2011
Dear Nong Cocoy,
May I ask for some relaxation of your goal of one appliance repaired by Coycoy a day?
The problem is with both of us. First, Coycoy can not yet be left alone; I need to be in his side to guide him. Secondly, I am too busy with other things that I cannot do that: I can not be in his side every day. For example, I have clients to home-service, every now and then. So, I am not in the shop every day. There are days that I am out.
I hope for your kind consideration.
Very truly yours,
Winston
We will resume the One-Appliance-Repaired-A-Day as soon as we can meet the most important goal, namely: That Coycoy can stand alone and do his own repair without or with very little guidance and supervision from my part.
OK?

October 7, 2011
My countrymen, fellow leaders and parents, and the youth of the land upon which this discourse shall make the most impact and benefits:
Present Situation & System
There is a practice in our education which has been overlooked, considered harmless and has been therefore tolerated and accepted as “normal” and “okay”.
But in this ending phase of the era, we are seeing the final grade of our Education’s Performance after decades of implementation. This final grade is: OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM IS A FLOP. A FAILURE.
How flop? How failure? What are the proofs and solid evidence that our education has been a general failure?
1. Our education is for the city. So, our farms, and rural habitations have been abandoned, including the beloved old folks. We are paying a high price with having this city-directed education: our old parents, relatives and friends have been abandoned.
2. Employment Education. Our education is geared to make us employees – read: modern slaves – of big businesses and the government. It is now most difficult to stand on your own. In former time, our ancestors were freer – they do not have masters or employers. They live direct from the land and seas that God gave them.
3. Our education is overseas directed. Beyond the cities of the nation, we are also forced to go overseas, to the cities of other nations. There to suffer more painfully the results of separation from our loved ones and being exposed helplessly to the abuses of foreigners.
4. Marital breakage. As each day rolls by, marriages are breaking, adding to the countless of broken marriages caused by being forced to work overseas. Why is our government not able to GIVE A KIND EDUCATION TO OUR PEOPLE THAT CAN EMPOWER THEM TO WORK, LIVE AND PROSPER IN OUR BACKYARDS, as is the case with Japan, Germany, USA and others? Why is this education that drives us away from our native land? From our families? From our parents and siblings? From our wives and children? Above all, what are we doing? We, the people, who are the most affected? We must demand a new curriculum from the Department of Education or from the schools. A curriculum which can make decent and good-paying jobs available in our country – in our backyard.
5. Family Disintegration. Next spouses, it is the children who suffer the most. Children are turning delinquent. They have become slaves to money and drugs. In the absence of their parents, they have the money which enables them to take drugs and indulge in false high – false happiness.
6. Degenerated Generation. Despite the nice houses of seamen and Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), inside them are unfaithful spouses and delinquent children. These are going to compose the next generation of parents and leaders. Controlled by drugs, enslaved to drunkenness, to smoking, to orgy, and to many other vices, these batch will not fare well in their management of marriage, homes, families, villages (barangays), towns, provinces, the nation, the businesses. Expect the worse from this kind of would-be-parents and would-be-leaders.
7. Turning our women into prostitutes and sex slaves. Stories abound about what happened to our mothers, our wives, sisters and daughters out there in Japan, in Saudi Arabia, in the USA, etc. NGOs who have compassion towards our women, one of these is Gabriela, has released an estimate that in every 20 Filipino women gone out to other countries, only 1 (a mere 5%) is doing a safe and decent jobs. The 95% are suffering as prostitutes and as sex slaves, abused. This is not the right place to relate these hate-and-anger-provoking stories of abuses done to our beloved women. Yet, we, men, can’t do anything; as a matter of fact, we are part of the whole system which led to this. So, instead of scheming revenge against “them,” it is better to start the process of getting out of the system, as our gesture of being disappointed, and as our obedience to our heavenly Father’s charge in Revelation 18:4: “Get out of her evil system, my people, so you would not anymore participate in her sins (sinful ways) and be spared from the plagues (automatic consequences).” These plagues are listed in Revelation 16.
8. The dollar-earnings that these OFW relatives of ours have been sending are not also wisely spent, not prudently invested. Much of these dollars have become tool to make our character worse and more degenerate with vices and godlessness. So the net result will be: being far from God, not just family. Our soul has no stable assurance of getting into heaven once we die. The love of money is the root of all evils, the apostle Paul once wrote. And according to Jesus Christ, our accumulation of worldly wealth or treasure is not going to benefit us in the long term, because either thieves would steal it, or moths and rust will inherit it. We are not going to have them for all eternity.
9. The eternal values and virtues are the casualty of this education. We are losing our morality. Very young children now behave wantonly. Even very old grandpas are affected by the immoralities being bombarded by the mass media, that here and there some 80-year old grandpas committed rapes of their own young relatives. We are losing our true values. We are losing our golden virtues. One of the main causes is this education which is sending us to the cities where we learn there the immoralities and materialism which is in reality also atheism (godlessness).
10. If we go by details, we can first make mention of the group of educated people called the government, from President to the lowest employee in the barangay or town halls. Ask them the question: In return for the taxes we paid for their salaries and perks, what genuine benefit are they giving to the people – in the following real terms:
a. Health; (What is this education that allows, if not cause and promote CVDs, diabetes, cancers, STDs, AIDS?)
b. Freedom; (Where is freedom in being confined in the city and or imprisoned in a slave work abroad? How free we are to hug our loved ones?)
c. Spiritual progress; (Is it spiritual progress where spouses become unfaithful to each other and the people become more vicious?)
d. Economic prosperity; (Is not the dollars temporary and false prosperity, that does not last and does not bring real benefits to the people?)
e. Our happiness (Is it happiness that the government is privy and involved in this unfortunate forced overseas work?)
f. Our unity; (Is the government helping us become united with our families or is the government encouraging our dismantling as close-knit families? Is it not sponsoring or conspiring our scattering?)
g. Local progress; (Where is the proof that the government is doing real effective programs and actions to effect local growth and development? What programs do they have that bring about true and sustainable progress, growth and development? Can you mention one?
h. I.Q.; (Even in I.Q., our children have become dumber than us! In the past, the passing grade for national exams was 75% and only less than 5 % did not pass, on a per school basis. Now? The passing grade has been relaxed as low as 50%, but still the number of them who failed to pass even exceed 60% of the total number of examinees!!?? What’s the matter?
11. Conspiracy with international businessmen. Big multinational corporations have controlled vital products that have great impact, good or bad, to the entire people, namely: medicine, milk, cigarette, food additives/flavorings/ preservatives, viand (processed foods), crops or grains and vegetables through their supply of fertilizer and hybrid and GMO seeds, feeds, breeds, e.g., piglets, chicks, etc. They have made us addicts (dependents) to these products, so that without them, our livestock, farms, and our own bodies would not function well or even die. But question: WHAT IF THEY WOULD PUT INTO THESE PRODUCTS CHEMICALS THAT SERVE AS SLOW-PROCESS POISONS TO WEAKEN BOTH OUR BODIES AND MINDS and confine us to slave-works, and as consumers-customers? Look at the sicknesses their cigarettes, their chemicals are bringing upon us! Know that their fats, their sugars, their salts, their soft drinks, their cigarettes, their chemicals, their vehicles, are bringing us cancers, diabetes, heart attack, kidney diseases, etc.! Our ancestors who did not have these products lilve long and were without these serious diseases. Do you, brethren, of the confidential news that these global businessmen and leaders number 2,000 and that they have control of vital industries and businesses such as churches, education, banking, agriculture, manufacturing, mass media, government, even the drug cartels and other illegal organizations and businesses? And do you know that these men who have control over the fat lands of the planet have monitored very closely the uncontrollable increase of world population and well understood that if they did no action, soon the hungry masses will demand all lands be given to the poor or foodless or else they will get those haciendas by force? And do you know that to prevent that from happening, these 2,000 evil individuals have one of their goals to reduce the population from 7 billion to only 500 million? Can’t you see that this is more sinister than the casualties of the two World Wars? Can’t you see that this is wiping 71% of the whole population of mankind? Can’t you see it is destroying so many nations, especially the poor? Search the internet for the words or organizations by which they operate their evil scheme, namely: masonry, Mormon, Bone and Skull, Mafia, Vatican, Jesuits, many others. The Vatican or Roman Catholic Church, makes a face that they are against population control, but behind our back, they are working to “limit” (read: murder!) the population. Read the following websites, brethren, that we be wiser: www.rense.com, www.prophecies.org, www.mercola.com, www.naturalnews.com, www.Jesus4you.net, www.franky1.com.
12. While the corns and rice of our ancestors met both old harvest and new, ours is not even able to meet one meal and the next meal! So, is that progress?
13. As to what they claimed to be longevity, by their medical genius. They claim that the average lifetime has increased, and, so, people now are dying at 70, but before at 65. My question: What before? What time are they talking about? Surely, they are not referring to the time of Adam and Methuselah when they reached over 900 years! Nor to our great grandfathers when they easily lived passed 100! So, to which era these medical genius have been talking about? And what about the fact that children and young adults are dying? Is that included in their claim for longevity! Blatant lies!
14. They are killing us, using all imaginable products, while at the same time, extorting us – hey, letting us pay them for slowly killing us! And we, the victims, have nice names: customers. And fees is called sales. Nice terms, under this grand, multi-tentacle conspiracy to reduce population – read: kill the masses of people!
To our genius educators and teachers, and leaders, my question is: Can you give me a genuine ‘high quality’ proof that can make us say ‘Our education is not a dismal failure but a great success’ – that it is not a major cause as well as major contributors – a terrible culprit – of making the minds and character of these sinister men and women in the chemical laboratories, banks, big business and government?
My dear fellow scholars, it’s no time for pride and arrogance. Look, if you are Christians (in name only or what), read what your Lord is announcing He would do in this end-time, namely: cut off all that is proud, arrogant and high-minded.
Isa 2:6 [niv](The Day of the Lord) You have abandoned your people, the house of Jacob. They are full of superstitions from the East; they practice divination like the Philistines and clasp hands with pagans.
[kjv]Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
Isa 2:7 [niv]Their land is full of silver and gold; there is no end to their treasures. Their land is full of horses; there is no end to their chariots.
[kjv]Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:
Isa 2:8 [niv]Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.
[kjv]Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:
Isa 2:9 [niv]So man will be brought low and mankind humbled- do not forgive them.
[kjv]And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.
Isa 2:10 [niv]Go into the rocks, hide in the ground from dread of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty!
[kjv]Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.
Isa 2:11 [niv]The eyes of the arrogant man will be humbled and the pride of men brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
[kjv]The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
Isa 2:12 [niv]The LORD Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled),
[kjv]For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
Isa 2:13 [niv]for all the cedars of Lebanon, tall and lofty, and all the oaks of Bashan,
[kjv]And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
Isa 2:14 [niv]for all the towering mountains and all the high hills,
[kjv]And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
Isa 2:15 [niv]for every lofty tower and every fortified wall,
[kjv]And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
Isa 2:16 [niv]for every trading ship and every stately vessel.
[kjv]And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.
Isa 2:17 [niv]The arrogance of man will be brought low and the pride of men humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,
[kjv]And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
Isa 2:18 [niv]and the idols will totally disappear.
[kjv]And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
Isa 2:19 [niv]Men will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground from dread of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth.
[kjv]And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
Isa 2:20 [niv]In that day men will throw away to the rodents and bats their idols of silver and idols of gold, which they made to worship.
[kjv]In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
Isa 2:21 [niv]They will flee to caverns in the rocks and to the overhanging crags from dread of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth.
[kjv]To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
Isa 2:22 [niv]Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?
[kjv]Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?
The Book of Revelation also portrays this Day of the Lord as the Day of Humbling the Proud:
Rev 6:14 [niv]The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
[kjv]And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Rev 6:15 [niv]Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
[kjv]And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Rev 6:16 [niv]They called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!
[kjv]And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Rev 6:17 [niv]For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?"
[kjv]For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
This is to be a day of the fall of the Great Wicked Church, Roman Catholic Church of Revelation 17 and her harlot daughter churches:
Rev 17:1 [niv]One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters.
[kjv]And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
Rev 17:2 [niv]With her the kings of the earth committed adultery and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries."
[kjv]With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
Rev 17:3 [niv]Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.
[kjv]So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Rev 17:4 [niv]The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries.
[kjv]And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
Rev 17:5 [niv]This title was written on her forehead: MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
[kjv]And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Rev 17:6 [niv]I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus.
[kjv]And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Rev 17:7 [niv]When I saw her, I was greatly astonished. Then the angel said to me: "Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns.
[kjv]And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
Rev 17:8 [niv]The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and will come up out of the Abyss and go to his destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because he once was, now is not, and yet will come.
[kjv]The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Rev 17:9 [niv]"This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits.
[kjv]And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
Rev 17:10 [niv]They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for a little while.
[kjv]And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
Rev 17:11 [niv]The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.
[kjv]And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
Rev 17:12 [niv]"The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast.
[kjv]And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
Rev 17:13 [niv]They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast.
[kjv]These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
Rev 17:14 [niv]They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings--and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers."
[kjv]These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Rev 17:15 [niv]Then the angel said to me, "The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.
[kjv]And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Rev 17:16 [niv]The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
[kjv]And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
Rev 17:17 [niv]For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to give the beast their power to rule, until God's words are fulfilled.
[kjv]For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
Rev 17:18 [niv]The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth."
[kjv]And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
Yes, this Day of the Lord is the Day of the Fall of the Beast Government (world empire) – the USA and her businessmen partners.
The fall (collapse) of government and commerce will be simultaneous, or one’s fall affect the other.
Rev 18:1 [niv]After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor.
[kjv]And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
Rev 18:2 [niv]With a mighty voice he shouted: "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird.
[kjv]And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Rev 18:3 [niv]For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries."
[kjv]For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
Rev 18:4 [niv]Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;
[kjv]And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Rev 18:5 [niv]for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.
[kjv]For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
Rev 18:6 [niv]Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Mix her a double portion from her own cup.
[kjv]Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
Rev 18:7 [niv]Give her as much torture and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, 'I sit as queen; I am not a widow, and I will never mourn.'
[kjv]How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
Rev 18:8 [niv]Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.
[kjv]Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
Rev 18:9 [niv]"When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her.
[kjv]And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
Rev 18:10 [niv]Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, O Babylon, city of power! In one hour your doom has come!'
[kjv]Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
Rev 18:11 [niv]"The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes any more--
[kjv]And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
Rev 18:12 [niv]cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble;
[kjv]The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
Rev 18:13 [niv]cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and bodies and souls of men.
[kjv]And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
Rev 18:14 [niv]"They will say, 'The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your riches and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.'
[kjv]And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
Rev 18:15 [niv]The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn
[kjv]The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
Rev 18:16 [niv]and cry out: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls!
[kjv]And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
Rev 18:17 [niv]In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!'
[kjv]For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
Rev 18:18 [niv]"Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off. When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, 'Was there ever a city like this great city?'
[kjv]And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
Rev 18:19 [niv]They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth! In one hour she has been brought to ruin!
[kjv]And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
Rev 18:20 [niv]Rejoice over her, O heaven! Rejoice, saints and apostles and prophets! God has judged her for the way she treated you.' "
[kjv]Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
Rev 18:21 [niv]Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said: "With such violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to be found again.
[kjv]And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
Rev 18:22 [niv]The music of harpists and musicians, flute players and trumpeters, will never be heard in you again. No workman of any trade will ever be found in you again. The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again.
[kjv]And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
Rev 18:23 [niv]The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. Your merchants were the world's great men. By your magic spell all the nations were led astray.
[kjv]And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
Rev 18:24 [niv]In her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints, and of all who have been killed on the earth."
[kjv]And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
Brethren, just because you are a government employee, or hired by one of their businesses or is dependent of their system, is not the reason why you should not start in your mind and heart the exodus away from this modern Egypt!
Take heed now our Father’s instruction to leave the system, to wit:
Rev 18:4 [niv]Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;
[kjv]And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
This leaving or abandonment may not mean resigning from your government jobs or quitting your present business – it may mean change or reform towards God’s ways already made known to us from many ways or media.
For example, are you a restaurant owner? And have you already known the danger of artificial flavorings? Search in the internet to know the dangers. And once you have, then, your next move to follow the Father’s will is: abandon your restaurant?
Hun, no, not yet! I mean, not necessarily especially and when you can still effect change towards organic and safe food. And once the Father knows that, for He surely sees you, then, it will be Him, the Power of all Heavens and Earth, to protect you.
Remember His promise if we abandon the system, (not the restaurant!): Come out of her wrong system my people, and [to paraphrase] you will no longer share in her sins and in the disastrous consequences.
What disastrous consequence for example?
The fall of government and business, e.g., bankruptcy as prophesied in Revelation 18.
God our Father is good and kind. He does not prefer the scenario in the 7th plague when and where a severe (economic and physical) earthquake bring the sudden and total collapse of the cities and the whole civilization (Revelation 16).
Rev 16:17 [niv]The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, "It is done!"
[kjv]And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
Rev 16:18 [niv]Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since man has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake.
[kjv]And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
Rev 16:19 [niv]The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath.
[kjv]And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
Rev 16:20 [niv]Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found.
[kjv]And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
Rev 16:21 [niv]From the sky huge hailstones of about a hundred pounds each fell upon men. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.
[kjv]And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
He prefers a change of mass consciousness – a mass change of direction, e.g., the whole masses who took the highway towards destruction changing route towards the narrow and straight way of the Lord. So, here we see that HUMILITY IS THE KEY.
“If My people will humble themselves and pray, I will heal the land” is the beautiful wordings of the song sung by Jamie Rivera “Heal Our Land.” You can listen this very relevant to our time song, which lyrics are based on
2Chronicles 7:14
[niv] “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
[kjv] “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
A less fatal, if possible, bloodless change and reform
From the following end-time message from our very own Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, we come to know that He will help put a stop of this free-willing train from falling into the deep ravine, IF AND ONLY IF “WE TAKE THE LEAD”.
The logic is like this: It was we who took the lead – read: the initiative and the labor and giving all the efforts and great diligence to destroy the earth and our bodies. Therefore, it is also logical, as if just to know of our sincerity and repentance, for us to “take the lead” to reverse the process!
That is repentance.
If you have been engaged in destroying your lungs through years of smoking, then, it behooves you to take the initiative (the Bible calls that “repentance”) to reverse the trend toward lung cancers.
Not just destroyers of the environment or earth, but also destroyers of their own bodies or their fellowmen will God bring judgment.
Rev 11:18 [niv]The nations were angry; and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your saints and those who reverence your name, both small and great-- and for destroying those who destroy the earth."
[kjv]And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
Are you destroying the earth and its people? Then, this fate will befall you.
Are you destroying your own self – your health? Then, this verse will also befall you in the form of the sickness destroying you!
The responsibility to repentance, or reform is individual and collective. And it is the will of our Father and Lord NOT TO DO THAT IN BLOODSHED. NO BLOOD SHOULD BE SHED. That is His will, express as follows:

Dear Winston,
I apologize for not being able to drop by your shop yesterday. I was in a hurry to Tagbilaran.
Doy, I may be visiting you this coming Tuesday, October 10. So, kindly prepare the list of what Coycoy had repaired so far. We will see his progress and if he has been trying his best
Thank you for your kindness.
Yours truly,
Manong Cocoy

CONTINUATION ON FAMILY COMMUNICATION & DEBATES ON COYCOY’S EDUCATION
DATE FROM TO TEXT KEY POINTS
5/19/2011 Junnie AYL Good a.m. Try lang communicate with Rolan as soon as possible for the realization for our plan (computer shop), to save time. God bless.
5/20/2011 Junnie AYL What we would like to see is that you will take charge in the computer shop as what I suggested to you during my call.
5/20/2011 Manang Malouh AYL Good a.m. So, Coycoy will have to wait for K+12, either by resting this year (which is supposed to be his first year in high school) or resting after he’ll have finished 4th year high school?
Or do you mean that Coycoy will not study 4 years high school (from this year 2011 to 2015) and take the K+12’s senior highschool which is 5th & 6th year by years 2015 to 17? Is that possible?
5/22/2011 AYL Manang
Malouh Good a.m. Nang. How are you there? Boy? And the kids?
Nang, there are 4 options for Coycoy: a) STANDBY THIS YEAR to wait for the new system K+12 next year, so he can avail its special feature, namely: Senior High School (5th & 6th year) devoted to skills training to make the students employable, avoiding the long and expensive college.
Coycoy will be Et-et whose group will be Batch 1 for K+12. We will save 2 years by avoiding the 4-year college.
5/23/2011 Manang Malouh AYL That is what I was thinking last night Coy: that Coycoy will be led to join the K+12, even though that will mean him resting for one year, this year, because that will still end up a one-year gain when he’ll have finished 6th year HS, instead of the traditional college which is 2 years longer.
5/19/2011 Lorie AYL OK ra man na Nong. Ang aho tan-aw ni Coycoy, he is very good in painting. He’ll be best to take fine arts or architecture.
I have an acquaintance in Cebu; even while he was yet a student, he participated in exhibits. Coycoy can study formally at the same time develop his talents
5/22/2011 Vida AYL Nong, Papa called up today. He is sad Coycoy will not go to high school. According to him, Coycoy is too young to go to major.
Another possibility is he will study high school (minors whole day, whole week!) and will attend to his major (i.e., talent) in weekends! I think arts, because it is what he likes more than music. So, serious with arts, but music will just be less serious, sort of hobby. When, he will mature, it will just jet forth unstoppable, whatever may be his real line.
If I were to have a say, while studying high school, he will major computer hardware and software, then, arts and music during weekends.
That’s cheaper. I am worried about the idea of taking him out from the formal school and you put him intensively on special tutorials which are expensive!
We have to consider the cost.
Then, his mind will not be prematurely pressured (di mabigla) by a major.
My other worry is that he might just be following you to please you because he is afraid to displease you or make you angry.
The kind of special one-on-one schooling that you are planning for him might make isolated, thus feel isolated, from his peers, make him discouraged, or lonesome, and develop a negative personality, and will not succeed instead in his life.
The lack of peer ‘competition,’ challenge and friendship-motivation, may make him lazy. Is it not a possibility?
[AYL answer: The key is the motivation of GodlyLove and NeighborlyLove can replace Selflove’s pride as motivation.]
What I point is that he will be the one to say, “Pa, I will just stop studying high school because I have no more time for my computer, arts and music.” That’s something coming from him, not from you.
I urge you not to dictate him, because we do not know his inner feeling.
I’ve talked to him and he said, “I’ll follow Papa’s will. It’s up to him.” He likes arts more than music. But he has the potential to both talents.
But I like him to No. 1 major Computer application programming, such as to make educational games to aid the development of school children, and to counter the bad computer games which are based on sex and violence.
We don’t have those games now.
Assembly, services to programming. Application business, customized programs. And the likes.
That educational programming requires a sharp mind.
That is where Dea, Coycoy and Et-et belong. Then, a chain of internet café which offers educational games that fit daycare kids to college students.
Dea says Coycoy is acceptable to avail PAFI.
AYL’s idea: Music & arts are talents which must not be driven by money-motive; otherwise, the products, e.g., paintings or song, will be bad. Love-inspiration must drive the artist and musician. Money will just be the next or incidental effect.
5/23/2011 Vida AYL See if Cocoy is really willing. Don’t suppress his freewill.
AYL Vida Okay, but it is necessary that no lies and deceptions will be involved here. Because I do not want Coycoy to favor those who use deception and lies. That will be harmful to his future and you will not be able to rewind the clock. It will be too late for him.
So, we will take many hours discussing this at home, weighing the pros and cons of every option.
My point here is this: I plan to give Coycoy something like what the mother of Charice gave to the latter: correct identification of her talent, vision based on such talent, correct guidance to focus on that talent, support and encouragement along the way, constant love, good training and the likes.
If we are aiming low for our kids, like them becoming mere employees like us, then, there is less difficulty in deciding which way to go: formal school. Schools produce mediocre graduates fit to become servants of the big businessmen and the government which oppresses your potential.
To those who want to become employees, school is the answer.
In the Philippines, with its kind of pre-mediocrity education, formal schooling is the answer if you want to become employees.
5/23/2011 Sheila AYL My suggestion Nong is: Let Coycoy follow the normal or traditional path: high school,instead of letting him stop for this year to wait for the K+12 next year.
For didn’t Sir Mangaron (the Loon-South district supervisor) say that K+12 is still “under study”. So, not yet sure. Can you risk Coycoy’s one year to get wasted?
Because, if he would really want to enroll to that Senior High School, he may do so, after his 4 years of high school.
Or stop a year only when it will be quite surer, but not this time, not this year please.
OK, when after his 4-year (junior) HS. Because I would feel very sorry if you will let him stop; he is talented and intelligent. And also there is the chance he can be accepted to the RoVeJenRa scholarship of sir Mar Relampagos.
5/23/2011 AYL VCL You idea, well taken. Thank you. We will compare this to the suggestions of others. It seems we are see-sawing in just two points or options: stop this year or stop after 4th year, both for the same purpose: to wait K+12.
Thank you Neng.
5/23/2011 AYL VCL/SYL “Under study’” are wrong words. He should have said “under close observation” or monitoring because K+12 has been already studied before its implementation. It is now implemented, not “under study.” “Close monitoring or observation is very important such as to see to it that there soon be many workshops to mushroom inside every high school like BSAT.
It should be “closely monitored” not “closely studied” that the implementation will be done properly.
Are you now that wiser?
5/23/2011 AYL SYL “And also there is the chance he can be accepted to the RoVeJenRa scholarship of sir Mar Relampagos”
If there are no strings attached, Neng!
This is still deep to your understanding. But this has its root in the plan of the New World Order elite to depopulate the planet from its present 7 Billions to mere 250 millions, so their wealth will not be threaten!
That is why: GMO, vaccines, chemicals, contraceptives, man-made viruses and diseases, wars, countless other ways including the control of our bright kids!
5/23/2011 SYL AYL I don’t think so, Nong. Because we can see how they handled their scholars; they do not control their freedom.
5/23/2011 AYL SYL The time has not yet come. It is our tax-money that they are using to fund the scholarship and then, they will use our kids for their own purposes. I know that. That is why they do not like me. Very subtle and cunning like serpents na sila neng. The internet can tell you that.
I’ll give you a few simple cases. 1) Evidence are emerging that chemical fertilizers produce nitrosamines, the deadliest carcinogens. And they found these oily nitrosamines in fatty tissues of women especially the breasts and cervix/stomach.
Question: Since nitrosamines cause cancer and since they prefer fatty tissues like breasts and womb, can’t you now see the connection between chemical fertilizers and cancers?
There are other sources of nitrosamines such as the nitrites that make red and fragrant the hotdogs, longganisa, etc. But fertilizer is a long and major contributors
Will you let Coycoy become CEO of Philphos, the manufacturer of chemical fertilizers?
Can’t you feel the pain of the kids who lost their mom to breast cancer and womb cancer?
This is a crime of mass murder of mothers, and child still floating inside the womb or the babies sucking the nitrosamine-filled milk!
This sin is not seen by ordinary people but you cannot fool God.
Can you bear to face God, if you are involved in this, killing mothers and children?
????
5/23/2011 VCL AYL Nah, funny. Papa called up to encourage Coycoy to enroll now so he can skip K+12, yet there you are telling him to wait for K+12!
Anyway, no one makes final decision – it is you alone. Even Coycoy cannot decide for himself.
5/23/2011 AYL VCL Don’t erase that text because that will serve as evidence of your lack of understanding and your foolishness. As you always have been!
I am not blessed with a wise and brilliant wife.
Tue 5.24.2011 Junnie AYL Good morning Nong. I have nothing more to offer to Coycoy for his speedy skill development other than what we had discussed last time, namely: I WILL HELP PROVIDE FOR THE COMPUTER PARTS FOR HIM TO ASSEMBLE.
Tue 5.24.2011 AYL Junnie Thank you very much. It is already a more than enough support. I will accept you and Papa’s challenge. Lead Coycoy by first establishing myself a computer shop on Computer H/W & S/W assembly, repair and sales where he can work hands on.
The Shop’s focus will span a little of the past (model already considered phased out in advanced countries but are still considered useful here in the country) to the current fad then, above all, to the future trend.
It will be more focused on the Next Generation Computer which I call eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher). It Has the following features:
• It is miniature version of the computer, something like laptop or notebook computer but smaller like the size of 2 or 3 cellular phones combined, or it can be a 6”x9” book-sized.
• It will be ALL IN ONE. Like it has been in the beginning, this will be a combination of the best features coming up in separate places of the world regarding computerization.
• Features of the cellular phones will be incorporated in it: small size, portability, mobility/wirelessness, delivery & receipt of text/video/audio information, etc.
• Features of internet: same wirelessness, send/receive data/information, e.g., email, upload/download data/information, real-time chat or eConference, blog, Search/Research, Connection to all computers worldwide as far as search is concerned, possibly: connection to all these computers via email; Total lock for entry of outside information except selected downloading;
• Features of a PC (Personal Computer): huge data storage (Franky has now a 2 TetraBytes of hard disk!), intelligent processing; personal control & privacy;
What is the resulting product VISION? Here it is:
• Small & portable
• Wireless & mobile
• Dual powered: electric and solar. This will enable you to read in remote places, at the top of a mountain under the shade of a tree.
• “Intelligent” like PC, which is lacking in CP (cellular phone). Such as:
1. Can hold or store or ‘memorize’ huge data
2. Can process them
3. Can also share large chunks of these data
Cell Phone is empty – dumb, and is more of a sending-receiving device. It has no capacity to hold huge information or books.
Huge memory or storage capacity is the key.
Hard Disk Memory is now in TetraBytes – trillions. Previously, it was in GigaBytes – billions.
Franky has 2 TB. What I have here at home is only 150 GB.
• Main Feature of eLRMP: It is an eLibrary – in fact, a tetra Library – which can hold all the books found in the world! Those all inside a tiny gadget!! You are intelligent so you can easily grasp this. My initial reaction to this vision is “WOW! BUT THAT IS TOO MUCH! All books?! Well, that is too much for the individual or the typical family who may not even has seen an actual library or has not even a book at home!”
We, who will be in-charge also of the software, will decide which software to give this or that family or person. Basically, if we can do it: all encyclopedias, all dictionaries, science books, Bible, important Scriptures and spiritual Messages, etc.
After picturing it mentally, I want you to answer the following question: WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THIS WILL REPLACE ALL DUMB CELL PHONES?
What will happen to the uninformed, ignorant, knowledge-hungry minds of the people?
To each family?
The inventors and developers are racing toward this vision. Apple Corp’s ipad is closest to it, although not yet solar-powered. But LG and Toshiba have now their own solar-powered! Biblio Leaf is the brandname of Toshiba’s. No name yet for LG’s.
For your understanding, the e- in the words ebook Reader or eReader means electronic – digital – internet.
Their main functions are:
1. ebook Reader or eReader (reads and scans like real book!)
2. eLibrary or mega or even tetra eLibrary!
3. eBook maker
4. eBook Publisher
5. can share/send-receive, upload-download ebooks, information
6. can share/send-receive opinions, ideas. eConference. Blog.
You have it all!
The Gadget that can help usher The New Wonderful World Tomorrow
OBSCENITY SCREENING: If the inventor-developer is godly, then, he can place a screening program module to intercept obscene messages and videos and prevent them from entering. The eLRMP program will reject them automatically, and also delete them automatically inside the hard disk, if recorded manually. So The eLexandrian eLibrary/ eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher) will be clean and will be a true tool for moral-spiritual upliftment for all nations and mankind.
Thu 5/26/2011 AYL Junnie This is quite easy for you to comprehend since you are intelligent. What have we gained by the emergence of the dumb cellular phone? Well, the transmission of what our minds and hearts ever possess, e.g., lust, green jokes, intrigues, gossip, unfaithful proposals of adulterous men and women to unsuspecting recipients; evil schemes, and the likes. What are the results: broken marriages, harm of the other fellow man and woman – the lesson here is this: OF WHAT BENEFIT IS THE TRANSMISSION DEVICE, in this case the cell phone, IF THE CONTENT, .e.g., message, IS EVIL?
Thus, the device becomes an instrument of evil.
Hence, we need the CONTENTS – the good software. This is collectively called The New Revelations from Jesus Christ or the NR. This will form a library, The eLexandrian eLibrary.
What will happen to this messy, cats-and-dogs-quarrelling world when this intelligent good-content eLRMP device replaces all cell phone?
What will happen to the minds? To the hearts?
To each family presently plagued by GITWaK (Gets-In-The-Way-Knowledge) & LeToThWroWK (LEAD-TO-THE-WRONG-WAY KNOWLEDGE)?
With its locked-for-evil-incoming-contents (LEIC) feature, this clean technology and gadget will become a leading tool in the ushering of a morally clean, upright society and advanced civilization.
The first effect will be the FULL DEVELOPMENT OF THE HEART – it will awaken and contain COMPLETE, PERFECT LOVE for God, Neighbor and Self. Thus, the heart will become very powerful – able to love God above all, and the neighbor as himself. This is the spiritual foundation upon which every good edifice and structure can be built.
The next effect will be: Each person will see his Mind and talents well-developed.
The next effect of this will be: EACH WORKER WILL BE EXPERT IN HIS FIELD, thus, goodbye today’s suppressive and oppressive type of employment where employees are used, suppressed, oppressed.
The majority will no longer become employees of big Taipans or Multi-Nationals. The majority will become an accomplished self-employed expert of his/her field.
If there will be any kind of employee, then, it will be them whom the employer ascribed high degree of respect and love, similar to today’s professional knowledge worker.
No more lowly laborer, no more ignorant farmers. Everyone will become wise and respected.
Take note of the vision: All dumb cell phones shall be replaced with this intelligent version.
Through this also, bring minds like us will be able to exchange ideas and thoughts in split second. eConference. So, fast will be the teamwork, cooperation, human development. Many, for example, will come to know how to make a bulldozer and thus, they can proceed repairing and making new fields. We will create terraces in the slopes of our mountains!
We can continue to live, without bothering the theft-hacienderos return the vast tract of lands in their present possession. We can be content with our mountains, clefts, slopes, steep valleys. We can let them go on with their fat plains and broad fertile valleys. We can still not care. For with our bulldozer et al, we can turn barren lands into new paradises!
I believe the saying, “There is no barren land (thought there are indeed), only barren mind.” For with a non-barren mind, no barren land will remain; all will turn into productive and beautiful paradise!
Thu 5/26/2011 Junnie AYL I can leave you in your dream, me with less capacity to do to help, so far. All I can do, as promised, is help you and Coycoy with the acquisition of the hardware parts for you to assemble.
AYL Junnie Our Shop will cater both the past and future aspect of this technology. Past refers to our still repairing, assembling and selling the models which are already behind in the world trend but are still useful here in our country. But the future is ours or may be ours. That Buena Omnia – The eLexandrian eLibrary – that eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher)!
The ultimate physical instrument, best aid to Mind, of our bid to make mankind intelligent, wise and loving.
So be it!

The eLexandrian eLibrary
May 25, 2011
Dear Franky and Thierry:
This has something to do with what I told my younger brother, Junnie, viz:
• Main Feature of eLRMP: It is an eLibrary – in fact, a tetra Library – which can hold all the books found in the world! Those all inside a tiny gadget!!
I have the Ancient Library of Alexandria (Egypt) which purportedly held 700,000 books, which at that time the most enormous quantity had made the library to represent Allness or Vastness.
So, when I say “Modern eLibrary of Alexandria”, I mean an eLibrary which contains all books found in the world.
One may not be able to perfectly achieve the goal to collect all books, especially that there are ancient books which the Vatican Library, for example, would not share to the world, but can achieve close to it.
In our part, we don’t aim that, if not of its sheer impossibility. We lack the capacity possessed by the government, church, etc. It is not important to have all the books anyway.
To us, this “Modern eLibrary of Alexandria” may mean enough books to represent of what mankind (so-called Tree of the Good and Evil Knowledge) has discovered and above all, all of the Revelations from God (Tree of Life).
Franky, I know you have been buying and collecting all the “necessary” books/ebooks. This is praise-worthy of you.
Can you “bundle” them into an eLibrary to be shared to every poor person who seeks the truth, like me?
So, keep on buying the important ebooks please.
Nobody is sharing them yet. As an eLibrary. What Microsoft has done is the Encarta which partly quotes only a portion of a book, among other things, but no complete copies are being distributed by Microsoft.
eBay can be a great help, but it is for pay. This is a big hindrance. What I have in mind is that I heard that bid libraries all over America and other parts of the world have encoded their books, that is, converted their paper books into ebooks and are making them available for reading via internet.
There is a (membership) registration before you can enter their website and do some eReading. I do not know if members can freely download/copy any ebooks as many as he wants. Hopefully, they allow free downloading.
But who can help us determine which book to include, and which not?
Or maybe, Franky, what is enough are the encyclopedias. If we have all of them, then, probably that is enough to represent “The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil” category.
There is one most important thing in this portion: There is now a special kind of encyclopedia which I had found and started to read in the Provincial Library of Tagbilaran City. It is titled, hopefully I got it perfectly correct, “Encyclopedia of the Great Ideas and Philosophies of the World” or “Encyclopedia of the Great Books of the West”.
I can’t remember it perfectly. But in this encyclopedia, you can read the books considered great in the Western countries. That is good enough.
But we need also the great books from the East.
Who can help us?
Our building, the hill building, will hopefully turn into a “Modern eLibary of Alexandria” containing all the books/ebooks representative of the era of “The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil” but above all, ALL BOOKS belonging to “The Tree of Life” – that is, Revelations Book from God.
It may mean we will hard-copy print those ebooks so they can be archived and read as hard copy books.
That is for the hill building.
But probably more important and more beneficial to mankind is to have them as complete inside our computer. The “Modern eLibary of Alexandria” inside the eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher) inside the computer, not inside a building. We cannot replicate the building without going bankrupt. Not many can afford to buy a copy of such building, anyway!
The eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher) is the most practical option.
When and how long shall eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher) be needed and useful?
The period of dissemination of the NR bulk of books. The other books are only bonus. The star of the show and the reason of our doing this is the NR books! We want to give them to each and every person in the world who needs them. We want to achieve a market/beneficiary saturation percentage more than how far and wide the Encarta product of Microsoft has achieved!!!
If possible, a 100% distribution! To the Arabs. To the Jews. To the white race. To the Europeans, South and North Americans. To the Chinese, Japanese, to the Negroids, to Filipinos, etc, etc. To the Natives.
Yes, I would like to see this happen what has happened to the Bible -- it is being translated to native tongues reaching many remote places all over the world. Or it will be, according to prophecy, a one-tongue world. If so, there will be no need of translations, but the need for people to learn the universal language.
What a wonderful time to expect and help create!
Wow! I am excited to see us, I mean mainly YOU (I do not have the capacity!) make it happen: create the eLibrary of Modern Alexandria.
To prevent people from thinking “Alexandria” as that original place of Egypt, instead of the meaning we want to drive, we will attach e- to the word, hence, e-Alexandria, or eLexandria. So, it is a digital Alexandria.
It sounds like lexicon, which means dictionary.
And the more complete name? eLexandria eLibrary. Or eLexandrian eLibrary.
Let’s not consider it redundant or duplication to have e- attached to the word Library. For if we remove it, people would get easily thinking that it is an actual physical library. So suffer the seeming repetition of e-!
“eLexandrian eLibrary”.
First time a proper name is started with small letter.
Aha, let’s put “The”!
The eLexandrian eLibrary!
What a nice name!
And how proud (happy) I will be to be the friend of the one who will help do it – his name Franky Corne!
See that?
And the name of the first two well-wishers and thankers are:
Thierry and Cocoy!
P.S. The eLexandrian eLibrary will include videos as additional category. Also audio version of books. Whatever is useful. Music. Articles. But foremost are ebooks.
The thing you did in www.DriveA.com and what many of us do in www.Scribd.com can be similar. So, we can also make The eLexandrian eLibrary accessible to the web, as a downloadable website. That may save us the cost as well as the time-consuming walking, etc.
Okay, The eLexandrian eLibrary will have a web version. Anybody who is connecting to the internet can access it and can freely copy/download any or all of the books. So, it is the www.franky1.com evolved.
Yes, The eLexandrian eLibrary Webversion.
But for those who do not have access to the internet, or when internet becomes dangerous or phased-out, then we’ve got to have the The eLexandrian eLibrary Homeversion or Personalversion inside the eLRMP.
The reality with the web nowadays, and this is where we can intervene and help people, is: IT TAKES TIME TO FIND OUT IN THE INTERNET THE BOOKS WHICH WE HAVE FOUND AND COLLECTED.
So, as a gift of brotherly Love for our friends and brothers, even to be a precious possession in every home is this The eLexandrian eLibrary Homeversion.
With focus on the New Revelations books. Other features may distract the concentration of the recipient, so we may limit the other books to encyclopedia and a few books, but the NR books shall be as complete as possible, and this will include the Sirian Trilogy, etc.
We’ll just exercise discretion how complete we will make it.
ETYMOLOGY & TITLE
May 26, 2011
Franky,
We can say LEXICON, ALEXIS, ALEXANDER, ALEXANDRIA to come from the Latin word LEXIS, meaning: Word.
Hence, the term eLexandrian eLibrary appears to be appropriate. The Electronic Library of The Word.
The eLexandrian eLibrary
The Electronic Library of The Word
As my humble suggestion,
Yours truly,
Cocoy

When hardware becomes important…
SOFTWARE MAKES HARDWARE NECESSARY & LOVABLE
June 14, 2011
Dearest Franky and Thierry,
For quite a long time, the world of hardware did not give me attraction despite of the fact that Benjie and all were making lots of money!
But when I saw eLexandrian eLibrary – the Knowledge the Father is pouring upon us in enormous torrents direct from Himself and from His fellow Light Workers, I saw WE NEED THE HARDWARE to serve as vessel or container.
What is the appropriate hardware?
I see, it may not be the paper anymore, because the paper can contain only few words and if you put the New Revelations into paper, tons of papers or volumes of books will be needed to get printed. In other words, you need a whole house to contain the library!
How can we afford to print that?
How can we deliver that to every person? Or every family?
How can we distribute that efficiently to every man and women, adult and child? To every pupil and student and disciple?
How can we slip it without or with little notice of the Beast and Whore?
How can we fling that like lightning beyond the capacity of the false prophet, that wicked teacher, to catch up and intercept?
Blessed be the Team which is making the iPad, the Notebook, the Tablet, the eReader, the Smart Phone – whatever name you call that!
And blessed be Franky who collects all the books the Father is gifting mankind!
And blessed be Thierry who selects the right hardware and the right software to put them together in the most efficient and excellent manner.
And may the Good Father allow us, me and Coycoy, et al. to serve as salesmen! Or just the delivery boys!
This is my prayer.
Time: 5:34 a.m.
Date: June 14, 2011
Now I love both hardware and software. There is a kind of hardware and software that I am in pursuit!
Without the contents, I could not appreciate the hardware. Without the heart, I could not see any true value of the body. Without the interior decorations and designs, the house would be all skeleton or structure, empty and cold!

The most portable ever version - The eLexandrian eLibrary - Interim Version on CD or USB
May 25, 2011
4:26 a.m.
Dear Franky, Thierry,
I woke up at 2 a.m. and have been done with “The eLexandrian eLibrary” concept, Webversion and Homeversion with the special ultimate hardware in mind, the eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher).
Now, I would like to concentrate on the Software as also an immediate concern.
We can develop an Interim version of “The eLexandrian eLibrary”, that is, before we can achieve the hardware aspect.
What is “The eLexandrian eLibrary - Interim Version”?
o It is hardwareless; it will be up to the customer or recipient to have his own hardware, e.g., use the internet, or his own PC or does he have a laptop? Whatever.
o Of course, it can be inside a CD or USB!
Therefore, it is “The eLexandrian eLibrary - Interim Version on CD or USB.”
The most portable! Ever!
But how can we lock the entire eLibrary and also each ebook to make it read-only so it will be safe from unauthorized or harmful manipulation or unintended deletion, etc.?
I know with MS Word read-only password-initiated protection system. But what about the entire folder and subfolder of this eLibrary? Is there a way we can lock an entire folder and its subfolder so that the eReader will be up to reading only, no editing or deleting possible?
They have done that with commercialized encyclopedia including the Encarta, so it is possible. How to do that is our next S/W task to learn.
Cocoy
P.S. Place to start implementation.
Franky, Thierry,
This came from an inkling I had had when I was considering whether or not to grant the children a cellular phone each. There are many dangers and risks which we know. But for a wise and education-concerned parents, and I would like to be counted in that, the cellular phone is a wonderful device through which you can (1) allow your children go their natural activities of the day, such as go to school, or out o the house and yet (2) you can talk to them, tell them important information, share your important communication, send them a precious quote from the NR, yes, educate them in an instant, constant, and omnipresent manner – reaching them out even if you are far away!
This is wonderful and I would like to utter a prayer to our Father, “Abba, Father, this is a great opportunity… even if my children will be soon going away from their nest and be away to schools or even soon, to their respective jobs or to help run our business. Will you grant us, parents, to supply the kids with a cellular phone including 8-year old Jared? And immediately teach them the wise use of it? I see it is unique tool for distant yet instant and constant education for the children. Through it, I can remind, teach, send Your messages to the kids, without tying them at home or without waiting them to come home; anywhere they go as necessary and yet I can still tell them something thru the cellular phone. There are many communications with righteous people which can help them if these are forwarded to them too. Your will be done Father. Amen.”
Yes, I will start with the kids… using the simple cellular phones which second supply can be easily obtained from relatives who have bought newer ones. These second hand cell phones still work. Since, I will regulate the ‘send’ function, they will almost always in the ‘receive’ mode, therefore, there will be less expenses. Only when we will allow them to have a load to ‘send’, say, every MWF or when we send them load to enable them to reply.
Nevertheless, as an educational device, the cell phone will function more on receiving device, no load-no send – reply needed.
So as far as the kids are concerned, it will be piece or excerpts from the eLibrary via the cell phone.
Then, later, give them USB version.
But hopefully soon, they will have their eLRMP (eLibReader-ebookMaker-Publisher) device.
For people who have PCs or laptops, we can immediately give them the CD/USB version.

Place to start implementation of “The eLexandrian eLibrary”
Franky, Thierry,
This came from an inkling I had had when I was considering whether or not to grant the children a cellular phone each. There are many dangers and risks which we know. But for a wise and education-concerned parents, and I would like to be counted in that, the cellular phone is a wonderful device through which you can (1) allow your children go their natural activities of the day, such as go to school, or out o the house and yet (2) you can talk to them, tell them important information, share your important communication, send them a precious quote from the NR, yes, educate them in an instant, constant, and omnipresent manner – reaching them out even if you are far away!
This is wonderful and I would like to utter a prayer to our Father, “Abba, Father, this is a great opportunity… even if my children will be soon going away from their nest and be away to schools or even soon, to their respective jobs or to help run our business. Will you grant us, parents, to supply the kids with a cellular phone including 8-year old Jared? And immediately teach them the wise use of it? I see it is unique tool for distant yet instant and constant education for the children. Through it, I can remind, teach, send Your messages to the kids, without tying them at home or without waiting them to come home; anywhere they go as necessary and yet I can still tell them something thru the cellular phone. There are many communications with righteous people which can help them if these are forwarded to them too. Your will be done Father. Amen.”
Yes, I will start with the kids… using the simple cellular phones which second supply can be easily obtained from relatives who have bought newer ones. These second hand cell phones still work. Since, I will regulate the ‘send’ function, they will almost always in the ‘receive’ mode, therefore, there will be less expenses. Only when we will allow them to have a load to ‘send’, say, every MWF or when we send them load to enable them to reply.
Nevertheless, as an educational device, the cell phone will function more on receiving device, no load-no send – reply needed.
So as far as the kids are concerned, it will be piece or excerpts from the eLibrary via the cell phone.

BASIC SOFTWARE TO COMPOSE The eLexandrian eLibrary
My original topic for this email is simply this: TO SUGGEST THAT TO COMPOSE OUR BASIC SOFTWARE PACKAGE FOR The eLexandrian eLibrary, may we have the following:
1) For computer skills, we may have the following:
a. Microsoft Office which is quite complete: MS Word, MS Powerpoint, MS Excel, etc.;
b. Adobe Photoshoppe for advance arts, graphics/paintings;
c. Music composer program for music talent development;
d. Anti-virus for protection;
2) For the Tree of Life group (Revelations), let’s have the:
a. NR direct from the Father and Lord Jesus Christ thru Jakob Lorber-Mayerhofer, Dudde as the principal revelations;
b. The Mother Mary thru Annie Kirkwood et al and those who major the 12 Chakras, DNA activation, Reincarnation, Karma, like Edgar Cayce, revelations thru the Sirians, and other Workers of Light – as secondary or, rather, complementary revelations;
3) For the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil (Science/ Man’s efforts & discoveries):
a. If we have the free Wikipedia, then, we may not need the for-fee Encyclopedia Britannica, Encyclopedia Americana, Grollier Encyclopedia, etc.
b. The knowledge archives of www.mercola.com, www.naturalnews.com, etc. – preferably both offline (for those who have no internet connection/and in preparation of the time when internet will be gone) and online while the internet is accessible, to also get updated.
c. For specific branch of Science, e.g., Biology/Micro-Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, etc. – full textbooks may be optional, as long as we have the basic in Wikipedia and other website archives.
May this of some usefulness in the near future. The education of the people is foremost in my mind and heart. They, the poor ones in this earth, deserve more than dumb empty transmission tool called Cellular Phone; they deserve to own an iPad with The eLexandrian eLibrary in it!
If this is the Will of our Father, and if the 144,000 will include this project, then, a lightning-speed enlightenment will occur in this downtrodden planet called Earth.
Suggesting in all sincerity and humility,
Cocoy

GUIDING PRINCIPLES FROM THE NR ON EDUCATION
To help us in educating our Children
THE ANGEL’S TEACHING METHOD & THE WOMEN’S CALLING TO TEACH
About The Angels’ And The Worldly Teaching Methods
The calling of women. Mothers ought to be the most excellent teachers.
[1] Ebahl and Jarah supported Julius’ testimony and said they were making their journey to Sidom precisely on account of this rare miracle-man, in order to possibly still encounter Him one more time, as the daughters longing for Him was too intense. Cyrenius made out to be much surprised at how the hardly thirteen or fourteen seasons old maiden could be so much in love, particularly since he (Cyrenius) was aware of a most endearing and beautiful youth constantly escorting her. It therefore was even more astonishing that the beautifully tender little maiden could, at the side of the exceptionally beautiful youth fall so mortally in love with an already old looking man, such as the human Zeus is said to be.
[2] Whoever has come to know Jarah these previous events at Genezareth knows that she won’t easily back down from a dispute, and so she also said to Cyrenius: “Esteemed lord and governor! How can you now in front of us betray, and count among the dead gods of Rome, for political expediency, Him whose godly light and grace is streaming forth manifold from all your parts!? [3] Behold, I feel His nearness, and you do so yourself, and yet you would, as it were deny Him; behold, this is not very commendable of you, nor is it very commendable of Julius that he should, as it were betray in a certain way, the most holy and righteous to you, oh esteemed Lord!
[4] It is furthermore not at all praiseworthy of you to accuse me of a kind of coarse enamoring; for I love Him only, as all men should, as my creator, as my God and Lord, and worship Him in my heart as purely as can be for a mortal maiden. If so however, how am I in love with Him in a crude manner? Here, ask this my guide and teacher; he shall be better able than I to analyze it for you; for he possesses more power in all things than all the world’s wise and all heroes of the Earth’s kingdoms, with the exclusive exception of Him Who I am seeking here. Hence just ask this youth, and you are bound to get the right answer from him.”
[5] Cyrenius was about to ask the youth, but the boy Josoe held him back, by saying to him in confidence: “Be certain not to take on this youth, for he is like the one visiting me occasionally! For this type of being tolerate nothing unclean, and hence no unseemly questions; for their life and being is nothing other than God’s flame-light.”
[6] Says Cyrenius to Ebahl: “Is not this your daughter, and a Jew; hence it is astonishing to see so much of the deepest wisdom resides in her! This surely she could not have learnt in just a few days from the Master of Masters, and even less from that certain youth?! Because these kind of teachers, although extremely rare, usually are not very successful in their instructing of us mortal mankind! This I know from experience with my son Josoe whom, although not fathered by me, I have accepted for good as my son. A Rabbi comes also to him, from time to time. After they are together for a time however, one does not really know who actually is in the right; because after often divergent views, they in the end are both right. This instruction in its entirety seems to be no more than a conflict of wisdom, from which eventually both parties emerge as victors.
[7] My Josoe frequently is so heated up against his mystic master that he wants him removed but the master does not allow himself to be led astray by it, asserting his often crassest nonsense, and only lets some light come through towards the end. And so I assume that the handsome Rabbi does similarly with your daughter.”
[8] Says Ebahl: “Yes indeed, exalted Commander, it is completely so; I on my part can never quite work out who is ultimately correct. The thing seems to remain undecided in the main. There is never any talk of some positive teaching. The young spirit appears to simply try to confound his student’s concepts, and the latter then has to straighten them out of himself as best he can. There can be no talk of any assistance, and as such there are always undecided matters in the end. If the student wants to fully demolish the Rabi’s corrections, then he has to encounter the mentor with absolutely foolproof negations, to prevent the Rabbi from moving left or right. This is then proof that the student is in the right; but without the fool proof rejoinders, the student is always in the wrong, even if setting up the most justified assertions: Oh, my Jarah has had her Rabbi in a real noose, and he himself would not know how to get out of it, had not the maiden gotten him loose, which he conceded.
[9] Verily, the celestial method of teaching often is most peculiar. Here it is the student who usually instructs the teacher, and the teacher is always happy if he has learnt something from the student. But the thing always gets on in true celestial affability, and I am always glad to watch such teaching method, for one learns more in an hour than from a worldly Rabbi in a year.
[10] With the worldly Rabbi, the pupil stays a slave, physically and spiritually, for he can learn only what his physically and even more so, spiritually crippled Rabbi is capable of, and knows himself. Whether that be false or true, the pupil may inquire only at the peril of a severe punishment! Of what concern to such chubby-cheeked worldly Rabbi the pupil’s inner spiritual inclinations, and abilities? There the thing is: eat birdie or die. In short, today’s teaching method resembles a helmet that fits all heads, or a bed in which all men can rest with comfort! The giant Goliath certainly would look surprised if offered a cradle to rest in!
[11] I have not seldom seen children who already in their most tender years manifested a truly gigantic spirit. What these may not have grown into, if they had been taught in accordance with their ability! But they were taught basket-work like the feeble-minded, allowing their spirit a stunting, so to say! And this I regard as greatly unjust! For what supreme service such developed spirit could have given humanity. But of what use when stunted? It weaves baskets and finally catches fish and mussels.
[12] But here I see the immense difference between the vain and mostly foolish worldly Rabbis, and, on the other hand, the now most wonderfully current celestial Rabbi. This trains the spirit in freedom, helping it to get up as it were and through all kinds of questions awakening it, from within the peculiar nature of the individual; whilst the worldly Rabbis seek to suppress and kill it! Exalted Commander over all Asia, am I right or not?”
[13] Says Cyrenius: “Completely indeed, my worthy host Ebahl! This has long been my view; but what has so far been done about it? I admit it: nothing at all! Because we ourselves lacked a proper foundation, where from should therefore those worldly Rabbis have received it? The poor devils in the end have to teach the children whatever they themselves received from us, and hence they are blind leaders of the blind!
[14] We have now indeed gotten to know the holy truth from the One, and are well able to distinguish the light from the darkness; but quite a few baskets shall still be woven by some gigantic spirit before all men on this earth share this light. Tell me what in the end is to become of your little daughter? She verily is a gigantic spirit, and is, besides that, being taught by a celestial Rabbi. Tell me to what purpose in the end! Hardly for that of a housewife, ultimately.”
[15] Says Ebahl: “Exalted Commander, behold our girls’ schools! How are these administered? Verily, as an embarrassment to the human race! And this is why a good girl’s school would indeed be something to be devoutly wished for, because a mother, something into which only a maiden can grow, always is the children’s most excellent teacher. If, as they say, her spirit, heart and head are in the right place, then her children are sure not to build their houses upon the sand of the sea, and therefore would hardly be capable of being led astray. If however, as has unfortunately often been the case, the mothers are more stupid than worms, then very little or nothing is to be expected from mothers’ tuition! Esteem Commander, am I right here as well or not!”

DIVERSE NATIONS NEED DIFFERENT GUIDANCE
GGJ II/205 = NRJC 5/47
[1] Says Jarah: “O Yes, Lord, You are my only love, true children need a more firm up-bringing than the children of slaves; for the children of the house will be educated to, after their parents or together with them, provide for the whole house, while the children of the slaves only need to know that much as their always same and very monotonous service requires! Of course in this regard the important question arises why God the Lord allows it that on this earth one person must serve the other as a wretched slave and as the lord of the slave even has the power from the emperor, over his life and over his death.”
[2] Say I: “Yes My dear, to discuss this at length would lead us all too far; however, a few similes about this I will give to you and thereby also to all the others. Who will comprehend this will also understand a few other things at the same time; and therefore remember and listen properly to Me:
[3] One has different varieties of grain, like the smooth and bearded wheat, two- and four-line barley, the high grain, the oat, the big maize wheat; then you have the lentils, the vetches and different types of beans; and behold, these different types also always require a different soil, without which they could not grow. A certain variety of grain requires a firm clay ground, another also clay ground which however must always be properly fertilized otherwise the grain is not going to grow. Again another type of grain requires a loose and stony and another a sandy soil. Some types of grain require a moist and again another a dry ground. All this is taught to the people by experience.
[4] Equally so does different kinds of people require a different upbringing, depending on the constitution of their hearts and souls. As it is the case with individual people from one and the same father, it is the same with whole communities and with large nations. There is a certain nation which requires a more gentle and loose treatment, and grows into a large blessing for other nations of the earth. Another tribe requires a hard approach, otherwise it would get out of hand and waste away as a curse for the neighboring nations. Again another nation has the distinct inclination to tyrannize and to rule over its neighbors. For the souls of such people nothing is better than to fall into slavery for many years, where they can be properly humiliated. If they have accustomed themselves in humility and finally carry their lot with all patience and without grumbling, they then will become free citizens of this earth again and will now as an ennobled fruit on the best and fattest ground prosper exceedingly well.
[5] Behold, this is a picture which you all can comprehend very easily, since you already have understood quite a few other things!
[6] However, to make this very important issue even more clear, I present to you the different parts of the human body, of which each part has a different form and therefore requires a different treatment and if ill, also of course requires a different treatment, so that it recovers. If someone feels a pain in the eye, he certainly must use a completely different treatment than treating a pain in the one or other foot. Who has a suffering in the belly must treat it differently from an illness in one or other hand and as such with illnesses of the body it must be considered if these are new or old and stubborn evils. A young evil can often be removed by light means, while an old illness requires a strong medicine, nearly on life and death, to get it removed from the body. People however always correspond with their souls to the different parts of their body. Depending on any soul corresponding to a more noble or less noble part of its body, the more the soul must be treated correspondingly like that individual part with which it corresponds.
[7] From this picture again the different relations of people to their soul-moral sphere, have also to be treated differently like the individual parts, with which they correspond in their soul-moral sphere. A bad tooth in the mouth must finally be torn out and be discarded if all other treatments are not helping, so that the healthy teeth are not affected; equally so must an incorrigible person be removed from a community, so that the whole community is not spoilt. Similarly, even a whole nation, although may not be physically, has to be, however, exterminated morally, so that in the end not all nations on earth are spoilt by it.
[8] Look it up in the Chronicles and you will find how big a nation the Babylonians, the Ninivetians, the Meders, the Persians, the Egyptians, the old Greeks and before them the Phoenicians and Trojans were! Where are all these nations now? Where are the Gomorites and the Sodomites and where the people of the ten cities? Yes, physically they still exist in their neglected descendants, who however do not have names and never ever rise under the old name to become any nation on this earth; since there is nothing worse than an old name to which a lot of futile inexpressiveness is stuck. Such people or nations regard themselves, because of such ancient-famous name, as much better and venerable than any young nation, which by gentleness, humility and love towards their brothers, find themselves in a state of righteousness and therefore soul healthiness before God.
[9] If you look at this with just some attention, you will soon find how good and just the Father in heaven is! Since this earth does have the fixed destination, that on it for the whole of infinity the children of the Spirit of God are brought up, and therefore it is necessary that the earth is always more hard and meager than kept too loose and too fat.
10] The weeds shooting up among the choice grain do not hinder the growing, ripening and blessed thriving of the choice fruit, even whilst they afterwards serve as manure for the soil, that has become hard and meager. In short, what God allows is good, whilst to the completely pure human, everything that the Earth carries in and upon it is pure. Say whether all of you have fully understood what I said unto you!”
[11] Say Cyrenius: “Lord, who should not have understood You there? It all is lucent as the sun!”

Catastrophe When Profit Becomes The Motive Of Churches And Schools!
FALSE PROPHETS AND TEACHERS:
THEIR PROFIT MOTIVE THAT FUELS THEIR CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS AS MAJOR CULPRIT OF THE WORLD’S MESS AND CRISES IN THE LATTER DAYS
The New Revelations of Jesus Christ, Volume 25, Chapter 1, www.franky1.com
SIMON JUDAH said: “O Lord and Master, I understand this now so very distinctly and clearly that I think that it simply cannot be clearer. But I honestly must confess that for us, Your first disciples, it is easier to understand those things, for on many occasions we heard great and similar announcements by Your mercy and love, but for many others who still walk in darkness it will take great trouble to also make such truths as clear to them as they are for us now. O Lord and Master, the many teachings that you expressed in simple words will be like the lot of teachings from the mouth of the prophets, especially the prophets Daniel and Ezekiel and the teachings that originate from the wisdom of Solomon. Because the more you read them or the more you let them be read to you, the less you understand them.
[2] Your teaching has the same characteristics, especially when You speak in parables and images. We understand Your parables and images, but many thousands and thousands of people, who will come after us and who will also accept Your teaching, will not understand the parables and images and they most likely will give a different meaning to it, and in this manner Your very pure and true teaching will repeatedly crumble. But what can we do against this problem?”
[3] I said: “Did I not tell you that it is given to you to understand the secrets of My Kingdom? For I chose you as My disciples and teachers of the people who will follow Me, for every teacher or master must unmistakably know and understand more than his student, otherwise he cannot be a teacher or master.
[4] If the master would not be wiser than the student, would this not mean the same as when one blind man would lead the other till they come to a pit in which they both will fall? Therefore, only few are chosen, even if many are called.
Characteristic No. 1 of True Teacher: Master of his subject
Characteristic No. 1 of False Teacher: Not master of his subject
[5] They only should be fed with the very simple milk of My teaching. If they will become manly and strong, then manlier and stronger food can be given to them. So take especially care that no one will arise who is only called and would say to the people: ‘Also we belong to the chosen ones’, with the purpose to teach the people for worldly profit, because then one blind man will lead the other.
Characteristic No. 2 of True Teacher: Development and mastery of his students is his main motive
Characteristic No. 2 of False Teacher: Profit is the main motive
[6] But you will recognize the one who is chosen among the people from the fact that he just like you is filled with My Spirit and will preach the true love for God and the neighbor.
Characteristic No. 3 of True Teacher: Love for God and neighbor is the first or main teaching
Characteristic No. 3 of False Teacher: Does not make Love for God and neighbor as the foremost purpose
[7] But if he preaches like the Pharisees in the temple, then he is someone who is chosen by the Pharisees and is just like them of this world and just like them a devil, for the one who does not gather the true love and wisdom from Me, scatters (e.g., confuses, divides) and is a false teacher. Such person will throw the people into superstition out of which – especially when the people became older and are really totally adhered to the darkness of superstition – all the angels will not be able anymore to bring them back into the sphere of the pure truth by which they then could become free in all things. And I say to you that all evils are more easily removed from man than superstition, because every other evil imprisons the soul of man only partially, but dark superstition completely.
Characteristic No. 4 of True Teacher: Gathers love and wisdom from God and conveys them to his students.
Characteristic No. 4 of False Teacher: Does not make God’s love and wisdom-truth as his source, but superstitions.
[8] I already told you once that even during your life a great number of false teachers and prophets, and with that also a great number of false christs, will teach the people and say: ‘Look, here is Christ’, or ‘There He is’, or ‘He lives in the temple’, or ‘in the chambers’. In such case, say to the people that they are being deceived by such teaching.
[9] Those who will turn to you, lay your hands on them and baptize them in My name. I will pour out My Spirit over them, then they will recognize the truth, and they themselves will then remove the false prophets and false christs from the community.
[10] If the deceived people will not listen to you and will moreover persecute you for the sake of their false teachers and prophets, turn away from them and travel further to where My Spirit will pull you. Leave all the rest to Me, for at the right time I will know how to visit such false teachers and prophets with My judgment, and the same will happen to such false teachers and prophets in the beyond as what happened to the guest at My festive dinner who had no wedding garment. And the souls whom they darkened will be their most bitter persecutors.
[11] It is sufficient that My teaching will be kept pure by only a few, and this will be taken care of at all times. But the rabble of worldly people will go on till the end, turning and bathing in their old excrements and pool of mud. And here is My commandment valid again for you: not to throw My pearls to the swine.
Characteristic No. 5 of True Teacher: Their teachings are like Pearls
Characteristic No. 5 of False Teacher: Their teachings are like old excements and pool of mud.
The above verses are a bad testimony about the world: The nations and people and masses will prefer the for-profit churches/preachers and schools/teachers.

Catastrophe When Earthly Interpretations Aided or Based on Ceremonies Are Used to Supplant the True Spiritual Intended Meanings!
In our series of articles on education, we had cited in other articles the Lord’s own statement that IT IS COMMERCIALIZATION OF EDUCATION THAT MAKES SCHOOLS BEING FILLED WITH MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO TEACH ACCORDING TO GOD’S STANDARD!
In this message direct from God the Father and Lord Jesus Christ,
we are told of another feature why today’s professing spiritual teachers
fail to measure up to God’s standard, thus, become disqualified.
What is this thing that disqualifies them?
Answer: Their being tied to earthly interpretations of God’s Word and the corresponding lack of ability to know the correct spiritual interpretation or meaning of The Word. This means to say, sadly, that the priests and pastors are only up to shallow and in fact faulty interpretations; they have not delved the deep and true meanings of God’s Word.
This has led to materialistic, or worldly, thus, wrong interpretation of God’s Word.
In the following revelation, we are told that THOSE WHO TEACH GOD’S WORD USING THEIR OWN EARTHLY OR WORLDLY INTERPRETATIONS ARE NOT SANCTIONED BY GOD – they are not chosen nor appointed by God to become teachers to their fellowman.
The bulk of priests in the Catholic Churches who are still bound to earthly interpretations and ceremonies belong to this class of pseudo and fake teachers.
Our spiritual schools – the Churches – are a dismal failure.
By their lack of understanding the true spiritual meanings and interpretations of God’s Word has rendered them unable to correctly educate the people spiritually.
Their students are those who are classified as them who call ‘Lord, Lord,’ but whom the Lord will say, ‘Away from Me, for I do not know you, evildoers.’
They have not succeeded to teach nor let their disciples learn how to Love God above all with all their hearts, with all their minds, and with all their might, and how to Love their neighbors as themselves.
Members of these Churches are still stuck at selfish love, not godly love nor neighborly love. They are still enslaved by their own self. They still love their own selves above all, more than God and more than neighbors!
The person who is still like this is still filled with greed, lust, pride, selfishness, envy, and other sins… thus, cannot be admitted to God’s Kingdom in heaven.
This is the unfortunate situation of the Church and her members.
Yeah, isn’t it unfortunate to see ‘graduates’ from these Churches not given admission to God’s Kingdom?
Let us now go to the Message.
Bertha Dudde Message No. 8692
Dated 4.12.1963
Message from the Father & Lord Jesus Christ:
“I shall further teach you that you should free yourselves from error when it is explained to you that you have interpreted My Word in an earthly, rather than spiritual, way. You should know that external ceremonies do not suffice for My spirit to express itself, and that likewise a person cannot be appointed into a teaching ministry or become a leader or principal of a community by way of external ceremonies…. Many are called but only few are chosen, and the few are instructed by Myself; I Myself put them into the place where they can work for Me and My kingdom. But the person is also subject to conditions in order to make him a capable teacher and leader of his fellow human beings…. My spirit has to be able to work in him so that he himself lives in truth and thus is My representative on earth who administers his office in My name, in accordance with My will and guided by Me Myself.
It cannot be denied that amongst those who call themselves My representatives on earth there are also people who live entirely within My will and serve Me conscientiously …. But they were appointed to their ministry by Me Myself and did not become My servants through external ceremonies…. performed by their fellow human beings…. because their appointment is a personal matter of free will which surrenders to Me completely, so that a human being is closely united with Me by love…. so that I Myself can then give him the task he is to administer….
But this heartfelt commitment and their life of love also assures the awakening of their spirit and then they will delve deeper into the truth too…. They resist any kind of inaccuracy, they resist the distortion of everything that originated from Me and will also disassociate themselves from error…. So now you understand that you won’t find My true representatives where people expect and acknowledge them to be, for these exclude themselves by representing error and not genuinely looking for truth…. They cannot be My servants and representatives because they accept erroneous beliefs and do nothing to acquire the pure truth….
Thus you will also know what to make of the ‘Sacrament of ordination to the priesthood’, for even if a person is of good will he has to prove it by declaring to Me his willingness to completely submit to My will…. And that means that he has to investigate every doubt arising in himself which I put into his heart Myself to enable him to draw close to Me and the truth.... And if he shies away from contemplating such doubt he will keep himself forcibly blind. He could receive the light yet he closes his eyes, and thus his heart is not open to Me so that I could send a ray of light into it….
You humans should not say that it is not possible for a person who genuinely longs for Me to detach himself from error, for you all know of My power and love which truly helps everyone who strives towards Me, the eternal truth…. But you have to let yourselves be taught first, you have to take notice of the pure truth, of My adversary’s activity, of the misguided belief with which he has entrapped you, and you have to have the sincere will to free yourselves from him and request Me to help you….
Don’t you think that I would help you, since I only ever want to deliver you humans from the darkness of spirit and give you light? You only need to use your intellect with good will and you would recognise the flaws in what you are expected to believe…. But you were given intellect otherwise you would not differ from an animal which cannot be held responsible for its actions. You, however, will one day have to give an account of whether and how you used your intellect since it can help you to become enlightened, providing you are of good will and desire a true light. As I keep emphasising…. doubts about the truth are appropriate wherever external ceremonies are to vouch for a spiritual achievement. Your soul will never be able to gain such an achievement, neither on earth nor in the beyond, if such external acts are performed on a person before his passing away, they are nothing but ceremonies and customs and are of no benefit for the soul…. However, I Myself know every single soul and judge it by its degree of love, for only this determines the degree of light the soul enters into after its physical death, providing it does not enter the realm of darkness because it is completely without love and therefore belongs to My adversary who governs the kingdom of darkness…. Amen.”

What do I wish to point out for our learning concerning our topic:
Our Father says that our error is that we “have interpreted [His] Word in an earthly, rather than spiritual, way.”
What’s wrong with earthly interpretations? He says, “You should know that [earthly interpretations shown through] external ceremonies do not suffice for My spirit to express itself,”
And what is the problem with earthly interpretations of His Word in teaching profession?
“and that likewise a person cannot be appointed into a teaching ministry or become a leader or principal of a community by way of external ceremonies….”
Are many called to learning but few are chosen for the teaching job?
“Many are called [to learn] but only few are chosen [become qualified to teach],”
And who instruct this few chosen for the teaching vocation?
“ and the few are instructed by Myself;”
How does He teach them? Entirely in theory or along with experience?
“I Myself put them into the place [or circumstances] where they can work for Me and My kingdom. But the person is also subject to conditions [training, experience] in order to make him a capable teacher and leader of his fellow human beings….”
God’s chosen teachers are not confined or marooned inside convents where there is virtually no opportunity to experience different works, various relationships, hardships, problems, different human tasks and responsibilities. God’s guidance and teachings in these various circumstances sharpen the teacher-in-training.
What is the result God is after of in His chosen teacher? “My spirit has to be able to work in him so that he himself lives in truth and thus is My representative on earth who administers his office in My name, in accordance with My will and guided by Me Myself.”
The Father wants His chosen teacher to live the truth so he could become His true representative on earth. When He was here on earth as Lord Jesus Christ, He cited the incompatibility that exists in the teachers, to wit: They don’t practice what they preach/teach (Matthew 23).
The biggest hindrance to students’ learning is their teacher’s conflicting and incongruent teaching and deeds. He does different thing than what he teaches. This leads to confusion among his pupils or students: Which are they to follow – that which was taught or that which they saw done by their teacher?
This is most unfortunate when it comes to teachings for living or Christian living.
It may not be so damaging if it refers to science topics which need not be practiced, only known, e.g., chemistry, biology, history.
This is most damaging in the area of religion where members are expressly intent to apply what they are taught or follow what was exemplified before them by their priest or minister.
Most effective is the teaching that is not only told in theory but shown in deeds - where deeds confirm theory – where theory or principle is demonstrated and seen as true and effective.
One main thing which the Lord and Father mentioned to be today’s teachers’ disqualification is their earthly interpretation and inability to interpret The Word or The Teaching in the divine, spiritual way.
Earthly interpretations are based and full of ceremonies, rituals, and their inability to understand the true spiritual meanings of The Word. In other place, He mentioned one main CAUSE WHY EDUCATION OR TEACHING BECOMES INEFFECTIVE AND VIRTUAL FAILURE: commercialization of education.
Are there among the priests and pastors or ministers genuine chosen teachres?
“It cannot be denied that amongst those who call themselves My representatives on earth there are also people who live entirely within My will and serve Me conscientiously ….”
But how did they become genuine teachers? By the Church?
No, “they were appointed to their ministry by Me Myself and did not become My servants through external ceremonies…. performed by their fellow human beings…. because their appointment is a personal matter of free will which surrenders to Me completely, so that a human being is closely united with Me by love…. so that I Myself can then give him the task he is to administer….”
What occurs in the true trainee?
“But this heartfelt commitment and their life of love also assures the awakening of their spirit and then they will delve deeper into the truth too…. They resist any kind of inaccuracy, they resist the distortion of everything that originated from Me and will also disassociate themselves from error…. So now you understand that you won’t find My true representatives where people expect and acknowledge them to be, for these [professing teachers] exclude [disqualify] themselves by representing error and not genuinely looking for truth…. They cannot be My servants and representatives [chosen teachers] because they accept erroneous beliefs and do nothing to acquire the pure truth….”
So, the ordination to priesthood or pastorship, the receipt of diploma or certificate does not necessarily mean they are qualified and authorized by God?
“Thus you will also know what to make of the ‘Sacrament of ordination to the priesthood’, for even if a person is of good will, he has to prove it by declaring to Me his willingness to completely submit to My will…. And that means that he has to investigate every doubt arising in himself which I put into his heart Myself to enable him to draw close to Me and the truth.... And if he shies away from contemplating such doubt he will keep himself forcibly blind. He could receive the light yet he closes his eyes, and thus his heart is not open to Me so that I could send a ray of light into it….”
Can God make His chosen ones free from errors?
“You humans should not say that it is not possible for a person who genuinely longs for Me to detach himself from error, for you all know of My power and love which truly helps everyone who strives towards Me, the eternal truth…. But you have to let yourselves be taught first, you have to take notice of the pure truth, of My adversary’s activity, of the misguided belief with which he has entrapped you, and you have to have the sincere will to free yourselves from him and request Me to help you….”
Is their any benefit to ceremonies-confined spiritual teachers?
“Your soul will never be able to gain such an achievement, neither on earth nor in the beyond, if such external acts are performed on a person before his passing away, they are nothing but ceremonies and customs and are of no benefit for the soul….”
Why did I title this section “Catastrophe when false interpretations supplant true interpretations”? It is connected to what the Lord said in Gospel of Matthew regarding the effect of false teaching by false teachers:
Mat 23:15 [niv]"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.
[kjv]Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
Indeed, what a catastrophe!
****
As you reread and meditate the text-message we have quoted above, you will learn more in addition to what I have already discussed.
Meditation takes place in the mind-soul and heart-spirit. It is mental-emotional activity – which means, spiritual activity.
Meditation is digesting the spiritual food – the Word which you read. By meditating, you digest the Word or Teaching in your mind and heart, just as you digest physical food in your mouth and stomach and intestine. You digest Spiritual Food you ‘ate’ by using your mind and heart, during meditation or analysis, pondering.
“Man shall not eat by [physical] bread alone, but by every Word [which is the Spiritual bread] that proceeds from the mouth of God,” Jesus said.
The gains and results of meditation are not knowledge, but wisdom; knowledge comes by reading, not by meditation. Reading by the eyes or hearing by the ear is like the first phase of physical digestion USING THE TEETH. Reading and/or hearing is like chewing the food with the teeth.
So, the eyes and ears corresponding to the mouth and teeth in the function of digestion. They are the first phase.
The second phase of physical digestion is using the stomach. This corresponds to the use of mind during meditation, the second phase of spiritual eating, to further digest the food.
What happens in the stomach? And what happens in the mind?
What cannot be done by the mouth and teeth are done by the stomach, just as what cannot be done by the eyes and ears, are to be done by the mind.
What’s it?
In the stomach, we may take an educated guess that the food produced in the stomach would fit the brain, while the more refined degisting occurs in the small intestines, the final place of digestion, and is for the extraction of the emotional part of the food eaten, for the heart.
FIRST STEP: Eyes by reading and ears by hearing produce KNOWLEDGE of the brain. Its corresponding physical digestion is that which occurs in the mouth-teeth.
SECOND STEP: Mind-soul by meditation produces WISDOM.
What occurs inside the stomach corresponds to this.
THIRD STEP: Heart-spirit by feeling and application produces LOVE-CHARACTER. The most fine and final digestion occurring inside the small intestines corresponds to this.
So, knowledge by the eyes and ears, or other physical external senses, wisdom by the mind, and love by the heart.
That describes the whole process of spiritual digestion or spiritual eating as well as the corresponding physical eating or digestion.

Greater and deeper enlightenment and joy will be gained by doing – by applying what is taught by our Father and Lord.
After your meditations and obedience (actual experience in doing what is taught), should you want to share your testimony to praise God and to at the same time encourage the brethren to do likewise whet you have done – should you feel the urge to share the wonderful enlightenment and understanding and the joy you felt for the many benefits of obedience that you have harvested – just feel free to connect to us and tell us your story.

Note: To be told that Today’s Secular Education (by schools) and Spiritual Education (by the Church) is MIS-education, is shocking enough. So doubly shocking is to be told that the main culprit for this educational tragedy is THE LEADERS AND TEACHERS THEMSELVES who converted the supposed-to-be free schools and churches into income-generating institutions and wealth-generating instruments. Now, triply shocking if you can now quickly learn that such MIS-education a.k.a. education for slavery and mediocrity is due to the concerned people – that they have called for it – that they deserved it – that their own characters have helped brought about such bad education and, in other words, had they been not bad themselves, no bad teachers could also manage to flourish and get paid in their midst! This should already give us a good hint as you proceed to read the following shocking article.
When Slavery Is Needed and Useful
GGJ II/205 = NRJC 5/47
[1] Says Jarah: “O Yes, Lord, You are my only love, true children need a more firm up-bringing than the children of slaves; for the children of the house will be educated to, after their parents or together with them, provide for the whole house, while the children of the slaves only need to know that much as their always same and very monotonous service requires! Of course in this regard the important question arises why God the Lord allows it that on this earth one person must serve the other as a wretched slave and as the lord of the slave even has the power from the emperor, over his life and over his death.”
[2] Say I: “Yes My dear, to discuss this at length would lead us all too far; however, a few similes about this I will give to you and thereby also to all the others. Who will comprehend this will also understand a few other things at the same time; and therefore remember and listen properly to Me:
[3] One has different varieties of grain, like the smooth and bearded wheat, two- and four-line barley, the high grain, the oat, the big maize wheat; then you have the lentils, the vetches and different types of beans; and behold, these different types also always require a different soil, without which they could not grow. A certain variety of grain requires a firm clay ground, another also clay ground which however must always be properly fertilized otherwise the grain is not going to grow. Again another type of grain requires a loose and stony and another a sandy soil. Some types of grain require a moist and again another a dry ground. All this is taught to the people by experience.
[4] Equally so does different kinds of people require a different upbringing, depending on the constitution of their hearts and souls. As it is the case with individual people from one and the same father, it is the same with whole communities and with large nations. There is a certain nation which requires a more gentle and loose treatment, and grows into a large blessing for other nations of the earth. Another tribe requires a hard approach, otherwise it would get out of hand and waste away as a curse for the neighboring nations. Again another nation has the distinct inclination to tyrannize and to rule over its neighbors. For the souls of such people nothing is better than to fall into slavery for many years, where they can be properly humiliated. If they have accustomed themselves in humility and finally carry their lot with all patience and without grumbling, they then will become free citizens of this earth again and will now as an ennobled fruit on the best and fattest ground prosper exceedingly well.
[5] Behold, this is a picture which you all can comprehend very easily, since you already have understood quite a few other things!
[6] However, to make this very important issue even more clear, I present to you the different parts of the human body, of which each part has a different form and therefore requires a different treatment and if ill, also of course requires a different treatment, so that it recovers. If someone feels a pain in the eye, he certainly must use a completely different treatment than treating a pain in the one or other foot. Who has a suffering in the belly must treat it differently from an illness in one or other hand and as such with illnesses of the body it must be considered if these are new or old and stubborn evils. A young evil can often be removed by light means, while an old illness requires a strong medicine, nearly on life and death, to get it removed from the body. People however always correspond with their souls to the different parts of their body. Depending on any soul corresponding to a more noble or less noble part of its body, the more the soul must be treated correspondingly like that individual part with which it corresponds.
[7] From this picture again the different relations of people to their soul-moral sphere, have also to be treated differently like the individual parts, with which they correspond in their soul-moral sphere. A bad tooth in the mouth must finally be torn out and be discarded if all other treatments are not helping, so that the healthy teeth are not affected; equally so must an incorrigible person be removed from a community, so that the whole community is not spoilt. Similarly, even a whole nation, although may not be physically, has to be, however, exterminated morally, so that in the end not all nations on earth are spoilt by it.
[8] Look it up in the Chronicles and you will find how big a nation the Babylonians, the Ninivetians, the Meders, the Persians, the Egyptians, the old Greeks and before them the Phoenicians and Trojans were! Where are all these nations now? Where are the Gomorites and the Sodomites and where the people of the ten cities? Yes, physically they still exist in their neglected descendants, who however do not have names and never ever rise under the old name to become any nation on this earth; since there is nothing worse than an old name to which a lot of futile inexpressiveness is stuck. Such people or nations regard themselves, because of such ancient-famous name, as much better and venerable than any young nation, which by gentleness, humility and love towards their brothers, find themselves in a state of righteousness and therefore soul healthiness before God.
[9] If you look at this with just some attention, you will soon find how good and just the Father in heaven is! Since this earth does have the fixed destination, that on it for the whole of infinity the children of the Spirit of God are brought up, and therefore it is necessary that the earth is always more hard and meager than kept too loose and too fat.
10] The weeds shooting up among the choice grain do not hinder the growing, ripening and blessed thriving of the choice fruit, even whilst they afterwards serve as manure for the soil, that has become hard and meager. In short, what God allows is good, whilst to the completely pure human, everything that the Earth carries in and upon it is pure. Say whether all of you have fully understood what I said unto you!”
[11] Say Cyrenius: “Lord, who should not have understood You there? It all is lucent as the sun!”
[12] Say I: “Very well, so let Josoe give us a sincere opinion about it!”
GGJ II/207 = NRJC 5/49
JOSOE’S CONCEPT ABOUT DIVINE ACQUIESCENCE
Usefulness and proper time for Slavery
[1] Says Josoe: “In Your name then I shall try it with all brevity, but whether my view is correct will be another matter.
[2] Among life’s priorities, man’s feet obviously stand below those of the hands; but if the feet did not transport man to water then they could not be cleaned of dust and dirt by the hands. Wherefore I believe slavery generally to be as important as employment. When the feet slip, the whole man falls, and it hence is good and expedient that the feet, which by all rights can be called the body’s slaves, are cared for more than any other body-members. Dull and resignedly the feet have to carry the heavy and often quite indolent body on days of journeying, to finally receive hardly any reward other than some cleaning refreshment at some spring; whilst the body, following a journey, having been indolent during the entire journey, fortifies itself with food and drink. What can and what are the feet going to say to that? Nothing, for they are created for that!
[3] Wherefore I maintain that slavery is a necessity which cannot be abolished, if mankind is to remain within the order set for it, be it that mankind with time discovers some other kind of locomotion, whereupon the slavery of the feet could of course be made redundant. And so I expect it could happen with slavery.
[4] It would of course be better if degrading slavery could be done away with altogether; but it may be a long time yet before such blessed condition shall be kissing the Earth.
[5] Verily, among mankind, a slave is regarded as weed. But by this rare weed, free man is superbly manured, and becomes indigent and fully inactive, and this I consider most evil. In this respect it would be better that there be no slavery at all. If on the other hand slavery is a school for humbling, then of course it is a necessity for the too highly ascended mankind, because after the Babylonian captivity the Israelites once again had become a quite good nation, it is merely regrettable that the captivity did not last at least a century! Because after the liberation, there were to my knowledge too many of those among them before whose eyes there still swam the former brilliance of the Jewish nation, wherefore they then also had nothing more urgent to do than to restore the bygone brilliance. And once the walls and the Temple were rebuilt, the old arrogance too was at hand and things soon went on more wickedly in Jerusalem than before the Babylonian captivity. Forty years was therefore obviously too little, but in about a hundred years our forefathers’ taste for glitter, splendor and haughtiness would have completely left them for hundreds of years!
[6] All this nonetheless is only my rather immature conjecture, and is bound to attract its well-founded retorts; yet I speak from the heart. Because anyone getting smacked shall avoid doing evil for no longer than the pain lasts; if however God visits him with a most painful suffering then he is not likely to commit a sin through which he has brought such pain upon himself.
[7] Wherefore I cannot but regard long-lasting slavery as appropriate, and now also comprehend the steely necessity for this class, thinking to myself: basically, a good and willing slave is a much more perfect man than a free one; for the free one is a slave of his senses, whilst a material slave can be quite free spiritually.
[8] For there is a big difference between a man who is in control of himself, which has to be the case with a true slave, and a person who knows no obedience and for whom things go the way he wants them to.
[9] And thus I now fully endorse slavery, not wishing to abolish it! For I say to myself: when this chief school for true humility ends, the people of this Earth shall be overtaken by great adversity!
[10] It is of course to be wished that mankind live by Your doctrine, in which case slavery would be preposterous, and a travesty against human rights; but as long as that is not the case and perhaps will not be for a long while yet, slavery is and remains for haughty mankind a true gospel from the heavens, prescribed to Earth for mankind’s reform. –
[11] These are my feeble thoughts about Your comments on slavery; but I beg You oh Lord through Your grace to point out the mistakes I made, so that I can get to the full truth in this sphere!”
[12] Say I: “Dear Josoe, here you are right in everything, and there is very little if anything to be added. But concerning the duration of the Babylonian captivity, you were somewhat side-racked by your zeal. Since behold, every captivity and also every slavery is basically nothing else than a punishing judgment allowed by God! A judgment however is and remains unfortunately always an extreme coercion for betterment and therefore has normally for the soul of man a rather negative than a good effect; for who avoids the bad only because of its bad consequences and does good just because of its good consequences, is still very far from the kingdom of God. Only him who does good because it is good, and avoids which is bad for the sake of its being bad, is a perfect human. For as long man does not transport himself to the true light out of himself, he remains a slave in the spirit and is therefore dead for the kingdom of God. External coercion leads man still onto other stray roads of moral love-life of which we will soon hear more about.”

World’s Incomplete Education – Cause of Misery
“the heart… is almost totally neglected and the worldly intellect alone educated. This is why there is so much evil among human beings because they have merely a brain and no heart. For that very reason I allow misery and misfortune in human society, so as to awaken the inner feeling, neglected or led astray in early life, and make the inner voice heard again, so that man may again learn to prefer spiritual well-being and advantage to worldly success. Through misery and ills I awaken the sleeping hearts. In their misery they then seek Me, whom in their life of pleasure they had quite forgotten.”

MOTHER AS MAJOR FACTOR OF THE CHILD’S EDUCATION
The kind of woman-mother, as health-giver and first character-teacher of the child, hugely determine the kind of child.
THE GREAT DIFFERENCE OF THE WOMAN OF ANCIENTDAY VERSUS THE WOMAN OF TODAY
The Household of God
Volume II, Chapter 2
¬4…Oh, what a difference there exists between the woman of that time and the woman of these days!”
Difference No. 1: Ancient mothers participated in the school of love and wisdom, especially in the in the area of health where they contributed much, e.g., through their milk which contained genetic code /DNA of wisdom. So their whole concept of school or learning started with health, before teaching the mind.
1. “And all were beside themselves with joy and in their hearts thanked Abedam for this promise, which is truly a Promise of all promises, com¬prising the only true life and all living power and might to conquer all things.
2. Thus, these patriarchs, well aware of this, all strove for it zealously, indeed, their sole concern was the winning of My love and of the grace con¬nected with it, the striving for it being the only school and chosen task of their earthly life. Wherefore their children at the age between six and ten years were wiser and immeasurably more sensible than in this darkest, truly most abominable Time of all times are the greatest scholars, who now hardly know more than at that time the infants at their mothers' breast knew.
3. For at that time mother's milk seldom contained, even in a material sense, more than do the greatest moth-riddled libraries of the scholars of this so-called Age of Enlightenment.
4. And what does mother's milk now contain? - I would rather not say! ¬Oh, what a difference there exists between the woman of that time and the woman of these days!
Difference No. 2: Modern mothers are teachers-models of Vanity
5. I tell you, among seven thousand there is hardly one who might not, owing to her vanity and love of finery, sometimes mark My words - within a second! - commit by a hundred deadly sins.
6. For, what is now their accursed mode of dressing like, particularly in public places?
7. I do not want to go into details. But this much I tell you, that in the city of Enoch, even in its latter days of utmost depravity, the worst whores dressed with greater modesty, keeping the most private parts of their bod¬ies better covered up than is now a woman of great modesty!
8. When at that time such a whore had an affair with a man, she was even at this moment of surrender veiled and covered up, so much so that the lust¬ful man saw nothing of her but that for which he came to her.
9. But nowadays even a ten-year-old female child is aware of her physi¬cal charms and keeps gazing into a confounded mirror. And once she is grown up and fully developed she would go almost half naked, if only it were the fashion and the local authorities allowed it.
10. However, what she does not dare do openly, she does in her heart and just plans and schemes to inflame and incite all men.
11. In truth, in very truth, say I, a woman in this time is worse than a hun¬dred thousand of the worst devils from the lowest hell. Those at least flee before My name; but such a woman only laughs at Me and My name and does not bend her knees before Me, let alone before My name, before which all the heavens, all worlds and all hells must bend their knees in rev¬erence.
12. Verily, verily, I tell you - as I have told many in this time, either open¬ly through audible words or through a secret thought in the heart - it would be better for everyone of the women of this time to be possessed by ten mil¬lions of devils! Of these she could be freed, for the might of My name would be sufficient to drive out the whole ten million of them.
13. But preach for ten years in My name to a decked-out female of this time, and she will not give up an iota of her shamelessness, love of finery, vanity and seductive ways.
14. Do you think that such beings will one day end up in hell, maybe the lowest? There you are mistaken. However evil and horrible it may be there, this place would still be too good for such beings; for all the devils and demons there flee before My name and must throw themselves down before any angel sent there to punish them. Would these worldlings do that too?
15. Therefore, they are being dealt with in an even for the highest angels unheard-of way.
16. When, soon, their miserable earthly life will have come to an end without any betterment and true inner repentance on their part, truly, this lot shall one day feel My wrath in its fullness and severity forever.
17. Behold, you My pure Ghemela, what an immense difference there is between you and the women and maidens of this time! What an abyss divid¬ing two infinities!
18. You, O Ghemela, are resting at My heart. But these, scorning Me, have strayed so far from Me that My always far-reaching hand cannot touch them ever. Look, they have strayed from Me to a second infinity, yes; they have strayed to the infinity of My bitterest wrath.
19. But no more of this, - lest I get angry before the time.
20. And now back to our good early (ancient) time. -
21. When the high Abedam saw their deeply grateful hearts, He was again moved and said in a loud voice to them all:
22. "Verily, I tell you, who are from now on My chosen children, -- I shall not ever forsake you!
23. "As long as you will be turned to Me in your hearts I shall be with you all, blessing with My love everyone of you according to the degree of his love for Me and consequently for his brother. And those whose hearts are aglow for Me shall even behold Me, particularly if from the beginning of their life they have kept their hearts pure and have not easily succumbed to the world.
24. "Remember this promise in your hearts; for this is how you shall be and remain in all power, might and invincible strength because of this promise, wherefore all the natural world shall be subject to you.
25. "However, if you should ignore this promise in your hearts you will, according to the degree of your deviation, gradually lose your strength and will more and more alienate yourselves from Me and My ears will be closed to your entreaties.
26. "Heed this advice and ponder deeply in your hearts about Who He is Who has spoken these words. Amen."

The Nature Of The Moon
1 THAT EVENING the full moon had just 'risen over Ostracine,
2 and Jonathan admired its beautiful form from this hill, enjoyed its light and was altogether silent.
3 Joseph soon noticed this and asked Jonathan, 'Brother, just what do you see in the shining disk of the moon, since you observe it so attentively?'
4 And Jonathan answered, 'Actually I do not see anything at all - except the old, always the same spots.
5 But as often as I see the moon I always wonder what those spots might be and what the moon is anyway - why we sometimes do not see it at all, then like a sickle, and then again so and so.
6 If you know any more than that tell me about it, for I really like to hear about things like that.'
7 Here Joseph admitted, 'Dear friend, in this respect we both are quite alike,
8 and I am thus no better informed about the strange nature of this heavenly body than you are,
9 so I am able to tell you as good as nothing concerning this matter. The little Child will surely know more about it than I - so ask Him.'
10 Here Jonathan in a somewhat backward manner asked the little Child concerning the nature of the moon.
11 And the little Child answered: 'Jonathan, if I show you the moon, you then will also want to see the sun and after that the countless stars.
12 Tell Me, when will your desire to see come to an end?
13 Behold, much knowledge burdens the head and makes life on earth unpleasant.
14 But much love in your heart to God and your fellow men makes life on earth pleasant and takes away all fear of death.
15 For this love truly is eternal life in itself - and whoever has this will at some future time see the whole creation!
16 For those who truly love God will see His face! And that is the face of God which he created by His wisdom and by His eternal, infinite power.
17 For the face of God is wisdom and infinite power, just as love is His fundamental essence from eternity.
18 'But since you have already asked Me about the moon, I say this to you: it is a lesser earth and has mountains, valleys, fruits, animals and beings of your kind.
19 Now the part which you see is naked and void and has neither water nor fire.
20 Only the part which you do not see is like the earth.
21 The moon's light is from the sun, its brightness depends on its position and changes every minute according to its rotation around the earth. And its spots are deeper and darker places of trial.
22 Now you know what the moon is - are you satisfied therewith?' - And Jonathan affirmed this question and absorbed himself in deep thoughts.

Or, in other words, Character Education first in time & priority, then, worldly-secular education next.
The whole team of educators, from parents, to teachers, to government leaders, etc. must ensure – read: must see to it – that first a spiritual education of the heart to awaken love before a secular education of science and technology would be given.

Three Limitations of Man and What To Do To Strike the Bull’s Eye,
that is, Make the Most of His Very Short Life?
SOURCE:
THE NEW REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST
CHAPTER 23.
THREE LIMITATIONS OF MAN:
1. LIMITED HUMAN KNOWLEDGE;
2. LIMITED FOCUS DURING YOUTH;
3. LIMITED FOCUS TIME DURING OLD AGE;
T
HE innkeeper said: “Yes, wonderful Master, this short answer of Yours on my rather long question was for me more understandable than the former one, but this reminds me of a proverb of the old sages according to which nothing is perfect under the sun, that all human experience, knowledge and information is patchwork, and that the one who made so much progress by his zeal and came to great knowledge, will finally realize that man, even after learning, seeing and experiencing everything, is wiser when he realizes that he actually knows nothing at all, for only a divine Spirit knows everything, but man only as much as that Spirit will in a way tell him through inspiration.
[2] But life of man is also too changing and too short to reach a profound development. When man is still young and strong, he is full of all kinds of passions, good and bad ones, to which he gives in and which makes it very difficult for him to raise himself to a purer light from the Spirit of God. Among a thousand people there hardly will be one exception. Finally, man gets older and comes to a somewhat more purified view, but then he often becomes sick, tired and slow, will only keep the outer laws and forms, and by that he will forget the divine Spirit. If everything goes well he can attain to an age of 60, 70 or 80 years, but in his old days he will then always think about death, will be discouraged and without strength and it will often not be possible for him anymore to intensively be concerned with God’s Spirit.
[3] And so the true wisdom among men is always in a bad condition, this because of the previously mentioned 3 reasons. Yes, if man in his true manly strength could become at least 300 years old, the true wisdom of men would certainly be in a better condition than now. But in this manner, because of his short life, he only can pick up something here and there, but he never can put perfectly together what he picked up because he lacks a longer time of life.
[4] In Alexandria, there is one of the greatest collections of books in which a lot of things are written down in every area of human experience and knowledge. But where can you find someone who would live that long to be able to read through those books only once in his life? And so we, better people, must always be satisfied and comfort ourselves with our old saying: Sapienti pauca sufficit , and I am of the opinion that even the greatest wise men of this Earth had to be satisfied with this principle and had to comfort themselves with this.
[5] As a soldier I have traveled a lot of countries on Earth, but I never reached the end and I also did not understand anything of what I saw. I collected many experiences and images in my memory but to what use if I do not understand what they are, how and for what purpose they existed?
[6] The people know from experience that certain fruits are good for eating, that there are healing powers in many herbs, that grass is for the animals, which we call grass eaters, that wood is useful to make fire and also for the construction of houses and huts, but the people in general do not actually know much more than that. Therefore, I always look upon the people as very pitiful creatures of an almighty deity, whether they live in the very deep night of their superstition or walk around as highly celebrated wise men on Earth, since none of them know why they were actually put on this Earth without knowing or wanting it. And I think that You, who are a very wise and wonderful Master Yourself, will not say that I am wrong.
[7] All wise men on Earth whom I came to know, agree that after the falling away of the body there must be a certain continuation and survival of the soul of man, but of what kind? There is still no agreement on that.
[8] Also on this subject You probably will have one of the wisest opinions, but if we compare this with the opinions of all the other wise men, it will not be in agreement with the opinions of the other wise men. Am I right or not?”
How to Hit the Bull’s Eye?
That is, how to be able to attain success within short human lifetime?
CHAPTER 24.
FOCUS ON THE KEY & CORE KNOWLEDGE: KNOWING AND LOVING GOD
I
SAID: “My dear friend, according to men’s worldly way of thinking you are completely right, but spiritually not at all, because there is only one truth for the spirit, and that is: to know the one, true God, to love Him above all and his neighbor like himself. This is better than all the knowledge of the Earth, and man’s life is long and good enough for that.
[2] The one who is initiated in that one truth by the spirit of love in his heart from God will in a very short time possess more wisdom and knowledge in himself than all the book collections of the whole Earth, which I can guarantee....”

THE ENVISIONED OF “EXPANDED SCHOOL”
A. THE RESOLUTION AND CONSENSUS & THE PURPOSE
Date : October 14, 2011
From the Desk of:
Arnulfo Yu Laniba
President, PTA Federation, Loon – South District
To : Hon. Ramonito Ramada
Barangay Captain
Barangay Agsoso, Loon, Bohol
Mr. Pedro Seprado
Head
Agsoso Elementary School
Mr. Rolando Catayas
New PTA President
AES PTA
Mrs. Yolanda Lacaba Labella
AES Alumni Association President
All Barangay Captains concerned
Re : Review of the September 3, 2011, Agsoso Resolution for the establishment of a High School
TEXT OF THE REVIEW:
My dear Gentlemen:
To barangay captain Ramada, I do not wish to proceed without expressing my admiration and gratitude to your responsiveness and cooperation.
You deserve the honor and praise as well as our support.
For this reason, I want to ask the barangay captains of Badbad Oriental, Badbad Occidental, Quinobcuban, Tan-awan, and perhaps those of other adjoining barangays to support your initiative, meaning: To submit their own version of Resolution supporting this your Resolution dated September 3, 2011.
So, there will be at least five separate Resolutions, one the main Resolution by Agsoso, and the four resolutions are Supporting Resolutions.
This, I believe, will produce the same effect as with a Joint Resolution. It’s just one of the many ways of doing it.
I urge you to support this procedure so we can give our thanks and praise to whom it is due for starting the ball rolling, namely: to the barangay officials of barangay Agsoso.
In a community of brotherhood, this is not a case where we feel jealousy but instead, praise and thanks towards the most active among us, plus the resolution in each one of us to copy their zeal in the next projects.
So, this is not a contest of putting others down, but a contest of loving one another, as our Lord Jesus Christ wants us to do. This is the only kind of contest or competition that is approved by God.
See?
May our united efforts bear the fruits we are dreaming of, namely: That Agsoso will shine as an example of having a high quality elementary and high school producing highly skilled and early skilled children, both in academic (white collar) and talents-skills (blue collar).
I have started the process with my sons. They will set the example to their fellow young pupils of Agsoso.
If in Japan, China and Germany, they are able to make their sons and daughters expert in assembling and repairing appliances at age 8, then, it will not be too much if we aim our children to be like them at age 12!
One of the probable ways to hasten this quicker mastery in the academic and talent-skill areas is the establishment of mini-shops in say, music, arts/painting, computers, electronics, carpentry/furniture, demo garden for organic agriculture, baking/cooking, sewing, etc.
To make these shops alive and effective, they shall connect to real shop so the products of our mini-shops will be elevated one step higher as apprentices of real shops, e.g., bakery, tailoring, electronics shops, etc. Of course, during vacation time, to avoid conflict with their academics.
Aside from sports, may we all encourage all parents to put up what they can do as informal shops or practice at their respective homes to help focus the attention of their children to productive activities instead of loafing (time-wasting), TV, vices and crimes.
I urge all barangay captains to conceive a project as well as to pass a Resolution/Ordinance urging all parents to do this and to accompany the said Resolution/Ordinance with implementing guidelines or advices how to do it.
This is probably more effective than sports. I mean: more beneficial in the long run. This is not to replace sports, but to supplement sports. But based on the Ten Commandments, Work is the 4th commandment along with Sabbath rest, to wit:
Exo 20:8 [niv]"Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
[kjv]Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exo 20:9 [niv]Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
[kjv]Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Exo 20:10 [niv]but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates.
[kjv]But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
Exo 20:11 [niv]For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
[kjv]For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
The things or activities or duties as well as prohibitions included in the Ten Commandments are the major ones which parents and teachers should focus. All which are not included in the Ten Commandments may still be important but minor ones.
Since work is included in the “Thou shall” and is commanded to be done six days a week, therefore parents and teachers, even without understanding the whole logic of it, do better
emphasize and focus WORK-PRACTICE-APPRENTICESHIP in the education of the children.
Seeing the bad effect of non-work a.k.a., too much emphasis on theory, our high school and colleges are producing graduates that do not know how to work or who can not use their learning if ever they are accepted to work. So, they are not expert, they are confined to the low positions and the work of errands/employees.
I have higher dream for our children, namely: that they will rise above the line of mediocrity and become employers, scientists, artists, musicians, or productive agri-businessmen, because they have some things in common: freedom and independence, financial prosperity, and the noble role of being employers, the ability of giving jobs to others who are less fortunate.
As to enjoyment, everyone will agree that if the work or job you are in is your talent or “line,” then, you will not need so much other kind of enjoyments. You will enjoy your work if it is your “line”. That is why God did not include “Thou shall enjoy in six days.”
If you are in the job you love, then, there will be no greater need for other enjoyments such as gambling or loafing. Your work will be enough to provide you joy. Your work will be more than like the games the children play or the diversions un-fitted men engage or unfulfilled men play.
Relaxation may come by sleeping at the right time, or whatever that will not encourage the laziness and crimes, the opposite of diligence, honesty and goodness encouraged by the Ten Commandments.
Let’s start right at home and then in school to impart the children the ancient values and virtues without which the basic institution of marriage and family and then of the country will not be able to stand and endure against the trials and temptations of this time.
This is one most important area where parents, teachers and barangay officials need to work together in order to produce the excellent kind of citizens which the Lord describes as follows:
Mat 10:16 [niv]I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.
[kjv]Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
Brilliant-wise like Lucifer [serpent] but harmless-innocent-sinless-kind-loving like doves.
So, to be good does not mean to be naïve or gullible. The goal is both wiseness of the mind and goodness of character.
To be wise in the mind but not good in the heart means a bad kind of character who is quick to oppress and deceive and use and abuse others.
To be good-hearted or innocent like Maria Clara but naïve (not wise) in the mind means to be gullible or be easily deceived and abused. And because the Filipinos were and are like that, in majority and in general, and not just the women, others were and have been able to exploit us, conquer us, abuse us, hurt us, harm us, disintegrate us, divide us, scatter us, destroy us.
Of course, to be both without wisdom and without goodness is the worst!
So, we have the following types to choose in educating our children:
TYPE DESCRIPTION TENDENCIES/ RESULTS
1 Wise but not loving (innocent/ good) in heart Exploiters/ deceivers/ oppressors of others.
The victimizers.
2 Loving (innocent/ good) in heart but not wise in mind Gullible. The victims. The naïve Maria Clara’s.
3 Not wise in mind and not loving (innocent-good) in heart Worst
4 Wise in mind and loving (innocent-good) in heart The Best!
May we all now know the specific Goal that God wants us to achieve as a team with regards to what type of children we are to mould, train and educate.
This is the spiritual Love-purpose of our effort to further strengthen our elementary school with a high school and why we are aiming to help them achieve expertise as early as possible.
With this, I hope to make our school project more meaningful and more solemn.
Very truly yours,
“Cocoy”

Dear Respected Ladies and Gentlemen, Honorable Sirs and Madams:
It is of great feeling that our whole community of is now reaching a general consensus towards having an expanded school.
It has many features, a few of which I would like to discuss, to attain agreement and unity, without which, we cannot smoothly proceed to its final birth.
FEATURE OF OUR VISION OF “EXPANDED SCHOOL”: INTEGRATED
First, we envision an “expanded school” to mean an additional high school. Thus, an “integrated school”; our Government and DepEd has this pattern already implemented in many other areas in the country where they feed their newly established high school with the graduates from their own elementary grades.
We will add the features of our vision as soon as we are through with the first two basic problems I would like to give first attention, namely: name and site of our school.
NAME AND SITE
The two (site and name) go hand in hand. If the site will be more than one, then, in our particular case, the name cannot remain of “Agsoso” nor can we apply anymore what we desire to give to our elementary school namely: to rename it in honor or memory of the owner of the lot, the late patriarch of the Mellijor-Lacaba clan.
I had no problem with renaming it in honor of the late Mellijor-Lacaba patriarch, only when I consider in vision of the many possible locations or back-up sites for the said “expanded school.”
For example: There is a move by Badbad Oriental to offer their available lot, the most prepared for the plan, as the site for the high school. The strongest thing for this idea is the bigger consensus that Badbad Oriental is the most accessible for a more larger scope of feeder-barangays, not limited to the five founding barangays of Agsoso Elementary School.
If the high school site will be Badbad Oriental, more barangays can be covered or attracted: Tubodacu, Ticugan, Nagtuang, Tubuan, Bugho in one side and Basac, even Cogon Norte and Tubodio from the other side. This is in addition to the founding barangays of Agsoso, Quinubcuban, Badbad Oriental, Badbad Occidental, and Tan-awan. So, aside from the first five, there shall be as many as eight (8) barangays that can be covered.
That is not to mention barangays from the other town of Antequera which also have Badbad Oriental as its most convenient site for a school.
Therefore, by virtue of the higher prospects for high school enrolees through the greater number of barangays covered, I have also my mind favouring Badbad Oriental as the venue for the high school, against the other option to place the high school as second floor classrooms in the existing site of Agsoso Elementary School.
But we shall not fix our decision prematurely at this point. We shall move to and fro so we will be able to see the pros and cons and arrive at the best ideas regarding the locations of what facilities of this envisioned “expanded school.”
As I’ve said, the name shall be affected by the site choice.
If we included other sites other than the present land donated by the Mellijor-Lacaba clan, then, we cannot adopt a name in honor of their patriarch; for the additional school lot in, say, Badbad Oriental, is no longer owned by the same patriarch.
We therefore need of a name that is applicable and most fitted if and when the site will be more than one.
And most probably, the site may be more than one… like what has happened to BISU – Bohol Island State University. It has many sites, located very far from each other: one in Calape, one in Carmen, one in Tagbilaran, I guess another in Clarin and Candijay?
Question: Will our “expanded school” need additional sites?
Answer: If the whole community, in consensus, will vote to choose Badbad Oriental as the site for the planned high school due to its better accessibility to include a greater number of barangays, then we need a second site, namely: Badbad Oriental.
Another beautiful argument for additional site is the most important feature if this vision of “expanded school”. What is this most beautiful and unique feature?
Answer: The practice area.
We have been so far talking about theory location or location for the classrooms. Now we are, as part of this vision, to include the practice area, such as shops and demo-garden/farm for our elementary pupils and for our high school students.
The new K+12 has successfully addressed the need for skills-talents development for high school, which I presume, to include the rooms to serve as shops or practice. High school skill shops are an inevitable offshoot and pre-requisite now that blue collar skills and talents development are inserted in the new high school curriculum.
From here one, let us exercise our built-in trait of thriftiness, austerity and wisdom in the MAXIMIZATION OF SPACE AND OPPORTUNITIES.
When it comes to maximization of space or lot, I, of course, favour the establishment of high school rooms in a, say, two-storied building in the present site, Agsoso Elementary School, where the ground rooms are for the elementary classrooms and the high school classrooms in the second floor.
This is of course, OK if we will not maximize opportunities.
MAXIMIZATION OF OPPORTUNITIES
What do I mean by MAXIMIZATION OF OPPORTUNITIES?
Answer: One most important example of maximization of opportunity is the establishment of mini-shops for our elementary pupils. Take note of the difference of terminology: shops for high school and mini-shops for our elementary school pupils.
Mini-shops and Shops; Pupils and Students. The difference and similarities are obvious. But the best is in their similarity: both are practice areas for the theory being taught in the classroom.
During our EDUCATION FORUM held yesterday, Loon Cultural Center, Loon, Bohol, sponsored by our two School Districts, one excellent idea which was conceived or clarified is this: THE MIXING OF THE WHITE COLLAR SKILLS AND BLUE COLLAR SKILLS.
With “White Collar” I refer to the ACADEMIC subjects of English (e.g., communication), Mathematics (which is important especially for business), Science which broadens our understanding and relationship with the environment, Nature or Creation. These existing academic subjects taught in our elementary and high school are certainly not the complete subjects to make you an entrepreneur, supervisor, manager, scientists, industrialist, leader… but they are part of the whole knowledge needed.
According to my defence during the discussion, a student left on purely technical subject and learning will not be able to grow to become a successful entrepreneur or manager because he will be inadequate in English or communication skill or math skill, for example.
So, the best idea which I propose is the combination of white collar skills and blue collar skills in one person – every person.
If we follow that formula, we can have the follow personalities among our children in the near future:
• TALENTS + MANAGERIAL-ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS
• BLUE COLLAR SKILLS + MANAGERIAL-ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS
• FARMER + MANAGERIAL-ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS
And so on and so forth. That should be the type of education or scope of our new curriculum. That should make up the new personality of our pupils, students and graduates. They are not to remain half: white collared or blue collared. They must become BLUE-WHITE COLLARED. They are both specialized in their skills/talents and also skilled in entrepreneurship and management.
What is the advantage of this type of education or personality?
Here it is: a young boy who starts as a mere electrician will become the owner of an electronic shop or business because or with the help of his added study in management and entrepreneurship, which obviously include English-communication or academic subjects.
Today, the two are severed and separated. One is either a white collar or blue collar.
This practice overlooks the most effective method of moulding a well-founded wealthy men and women we find in Japan. What is in Japan that we do not have in common here in the Philippines? Their great business magnate or great manager or white collar men started with specific blue collar skill.
MODEL OF EDUCATION THAT LEADS TO DEVELOPMENT & PROGRESS:
SONY CORPORATION
One best example is the two founders of Sony Corporation. Although one of them was from a rich family, nevertheless, that did not prevent each of them from being first skilled in electronics as early as in their childhood years when, as many of the Japanese were, they were already skilled in assembling radios and other appliances.
They took the path from being the first electricians (employees) of their company until it rose to become the great global company named SONY.
What is the secret? A combination of WHITE COLLAR AND BLUE COLLAR SKILLS AT LEAST IN THE KEY PERSONS, OR THE FOUNDER.
Another most important secret of their great success: SKILL AND TALENT ARE SYNONYMS.
Until now, I write talents and skills, as if skills is different from talents, or most important or more negotiable than talents.
In the Philippines, skill is different than talent. Here is how these two words are defined and differentiated in the Philippines, and for this definition, our country lacked the wisdom and fell into poverty:
• Talent is confined to music, arts, writings;
• Skill is blue collar works;
• Skill is expertise and money-able; while
• Talent is most often up to hobby only, does not improve to become the means for an income, therefore, as income-time arrives, talent is discarded in the corner, forgotten, while the individual cram for a crash course or training to learn a skill, e.g., blue collar.
What happens here? What was lost? What are the disadvantages?
• What our wise men, expectant parents or myopic educators missed is the precious years our young children spent for their great interest –their hobbies – their talents.
• These years of learning, training, honing, suddenly got put aside, rendered useless, worthless and meaningless, to give way for a cram course or learning for a skill for a job
• The question is: Why cannot we lead our children proceed with their talents to convert them into skills, and then, into enterprise and finally into industry?
SONY – AN EXCELLENT CASE OF DEVELOPMENT FROM A TALENT
INTO HOBBY INTO SKILL INTO ENTERPRISE
INTO INDUSTRY!
To get the point I intend to drive and I wish all of us to comprehend, as it holds the key to our liberation from poverty, we need first to understand the meaning of the following keywords:
• Talent – means the inclination of a child’s heart and mind – his love-activity, where his heart and mind is most inclined. Is it electronic? Is it art? Talent is the seed of a future great work, invention and enterprise. Talent is the seed-inclination God put inside a child. Matthew 25 and Luke 19 (Parable of the Talents and Pounds) tell us that it is God who gives us talents, at least one talent to start with. Along the years, we can ask or receive additional talents.
• Hobby – is the first practice, use and application of a child’s talent. It should not be seen as a must-income-generator; instead, it must be seen as source of the child’s happiness, a work but in the form of play or nature of play; it is not serious, but more of enjoyment. The best method to teach work to a child is through play. The work must be taught in the form of play or game. In this manner, hobby leads to skill.
• Skill – is a phase of learning where theory has been applied, practiced, developed and honed to a certain point or level that the result can be considered an acceptable or praise-worthy service to fellowmen or even worthy of being paid.
• Enterprise – is the next possible development phase. If a talent has turned from hobby to skill, then, the next thing to happen, as soon as customers or beneficiaries increase, the skilled worker will need to hire an assistant, thus, he is now an entrepreneur – his work now an enterprise – a business;
• Industry – happens when your one business becomes many, as your former employees are guided, assisted, most praiseworthy by you, also become independent entrepreneurs!
Imagine talent as the seed, hobby the seedling, skill the young tree, enterprise the mature tree and industry the forest (many trees).
Be it music, be it electronics or arts, let it be that it shall flourish to become a forest (industry)! Let no more worker remains an undeveloped paid employee forever!
Like Sony, let every talent grow into an industry – through the diligence, intelligence and selflessness of its key person or founder.
In Bohol, we have the town of Loboc as the magnificent example of a talent turned into an industry: the music industry. As story was told, music started in Loboc during the Spanish time when a church assistant taught music to church/school children. A choir or band was later organized.
As music grew and grew, it has indeed managed to become a tree (enterprise) and now an industry – making many independent musicians, individual and group.
What makes a great enterprise and a spreading industry possible? Not a skill not in line to your heart. Not a skill intended just to earn a living. Not a skill hurriedly found in some corner in the garbage site in order to meet a sudden need for food and milk of a child born prematurely, without preparation in the part of the father.
The SONY story and the LOBOC experience are one of the best proof that, as Jesus indicated in Matthew 25 and Luke 19, IT IS TALENT GUIDED AND NURTURED THAT HOLDS THE KEY TO WEALTH AND PROSPERITY and THAT TALENT MUST BE THE SKILL; TALENT MUST BECOME SYNONYM OF SKILL. No skill must come up out of sudden economic pressure or necessity. Skill must come up out of a child’s heart – his inclination.
All parents and educators must work together to find the child’s inclination (seed talent) and focus all time, money, education, training and resources to confining (even imprisoning) the child in this path so that he will not get diverted or strayed away from the path God has drawn specifically for him through his built-in talent.
TODAY’S CURSE
What I mean with “curse” is the misery, poverty, the bankruptcies, the helplessness of our workers and even businessmen.
Why? Because their works could not give them prosperity. Their businesses often end up bankruptcies or in huge indebtedness.
Why are our work skills not producing prosperity? Why are our skills not creating the likes of Sony and Loboc?
Answer: Our skills are not our talents. Our talents were killed by these skills whose purpose was only economic. We neglected to make our talents our skills, business and industry. Our talents long died as soon as we replaced them with not-our-line skills, skills which the monopolists need to perpetuate and expand their businesses.
TOMORROW’S BLESSING
When God pronounces “Blessed by you…” He did not mean what we term here in our dialect as “dawat-limpyo” which means similar to “being spoon-fed” or “net receipt without an equity on our part.” Catholics and protestants have been told and taught and made to believe that “blessing” and “salvation” is “dawat-limpyo” because according to them, our Lord Jesus Christ has been so loving that He did it all and so merciful that He obeyed everything in our behalf. Result: we are no longer required to obey strictly God’s Laws and commandments.
This is a big lie that the Catholic and Protestant churches have successfully sold to gullible people like us. They thus rendered us lazy and complacent, for we thought that God and Jesus has done it all for us..
This has hindered the full operation of the instruction “Lihok tawo aron tabangan tika” (Man, do your best; God will do the rest”) (“God will not do what man can do for himself”)
This conflict of teachings has created a long tug-of-war – a confusion – a stagnation and lack of progress and advancement.
May this discussion of God’s Will give our nation the wisdom to get out of the present box, and come out free to identify our talents and guide them, develop them into hobby, skill, enterprise and ultimately, an industry.
Then, every seed-talent will become a huge forest (industry) like SONY!
THE KEY IS THE PROCESS OF SYNONYMS-CONCEPTS
From now on, let us realize that it is a PROCESS OR SUCCESSION SYNONYMNS, to wit:
Step 1: Inclination - Talent as the seed
Step 2: Hobby – Talent as Seedling
Step 3: Skill – Talent has become honed enough to serve the fellowmen, as paid or free service;
Step 4: Enterprise – Talent has become a mature tree, bearing much results, including monetary profits;
Step 5: Industry – the tree has multiplied and has become a forest.
The dictionary for Filipinos should now have the following entry:
Talent – 1) inclination (as seed); 2) hobby (as seedling); 3) skill (as young fruit bearing tree); 4) enterprise (as mature tree); and finally, 4) industry (as forest).
The support Scripture are: Matthew 25 (Parable of the Talents) and Luke 19 (Parable of the Pounds)
Support from practical wisdom: the experience of Sony Corporation and many other similar experience where the child-founder-to-be started with his talent, which he treats as hobby until it became a great skill, then, enterprise and finally as industry.
The same story for the great Apple Corporation with its founder Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.
SELFISHNESS HOLDS YOU BACK
Filipino Christians have been sick of selfishness. Korean Christians are not. They include in their Christian living the bestowing of talents, skills and capital to their fellow Christians. Result: Korean businessmen speedily increase all over the world!
Afraid of competition from their own friends and relatives? No, they are not. For they are wise and grateful. No disciple puts up his business where his former employer operates. They spread; and they help each other spread to the wide world.
So, an employer is not threatened; he knows and sees that his former employee is grateful enough to choose another site for his new business. In other cases, the employer enters into partnership with his former employer to put up a branch in other towns or sites.
This describes the way to prosperity which is also the same as saying that it is the way God will bless us. There is no other way: we have to work as partners; we must put up our equity – we have our parts to do. It is not a “dawat-limpyo”.
Enough for the “Jesus did it all and obeyed all for you, so you are left with nothing to do, just sit or lie down and wait to be spoon-fed” false doctrine of the Catholic and protestant churches, which has born the poverty-producing attitudes of laziness, complacency, inclination towards vices.
OUR VISION OF EDUCATION: SONY STYLE
From the biography of its founders and the company itself of Sony Corporation, our vision of “expanded school” or “expanded education” shall therefore:
• Include the homes as the foundation of talents as hobbies. It is at home that talent should turn into hobby;
• Convert the elementary school into theory-classrooms and practice-mini-shops where hobbies are guided to become mini-skills, e.g., mini table, mini chairs, etc., all made by the mini carpenters (the pupils);
• Convert all-theory, purely academic high school into theory-classrooms and practice-shops where mini skills are honed into real skills.
• Connect our shops to real shops in the real work of work and business, where our students shall work as apprentice for a few months or years.
• Our businessmen shall provide bridges and extending hands to make sure our graduates will be able to find the work which best suits to their specialization; this employment stage shall only be temporary and should be treated, above all, as further training for independence;
• Our capitalists, including PTA and alumni associations and parents, shall prepare the honing young experts to have capital for their own shops and later enterprise;
• Other supports shall not be lacking from the parents, from the government, etc.
FINAL PROPOSAL FOR SITE AND NAME
Because of this vision, I therefore present the following recommendations:
1. The Agsoso campus shall house the elementary and mini-shops. It is either the remaining space in the present campus be allocated for the mini-shops, or to utilize the upper space of a two-story building to transfer classrooms to the second floor so that the ground floor be for the mini-shops and space will be provided for the demo garden/farm too.
2. Badbad Oriental shall house both the high school and shops and demo garden/farm.
3. Unless necessary, the rest of the founding barangays shall assist and donate space for the following: each barangay for each shop, in case Badbad Oriental will not have the sufficient space and resources of constructing them.
4. Another support by the founding or member barangays shall be this: they will take care of the day care and kinder, while all Grades 1 to 6 pupils shall be in Agsoso.
EPILOGUE
This is this unique vision for a high quality expanded school that I am motivated to support. If the vision is like the ordinary high school where the product (graduates) are mediocre, namely: employees forever or care giver forever, or slaves forever or Japayukes forever (forgive me for telling the painful truth), then, I am not for it.
I – We – envision our future children, pupils and students, and graduates to be:
NO LONGER EMPLOYEES AND RUN ERRANDS OF THE TAIPANS (BUSINESMEN)
BUT FREE AND INDEPENDENT
Self-employed experts in their own talents (no masters, no slaves);
Or employers, scientists, artists, musicians, or productive agri-businessmen, because they have some things in common: freedom and independence, financial prosperity, and the noble role of being employers, the ability of giving jobs to others who are less fortunate.
AND PROSPEROUS PROVIDERS OF THEIR OLD FOLKS AND LOVED ONES, DEVELOPERS OF THEIR VILLAGES AND LIBERATORS OF THEIR NATION!
SO HELP US FATHER GOD prepare for the New Era!
