The Philippine Islands
The ultimate purpose of life is the fulfillment of individual’s task (mission) which is based on the “general blue print” (formula) with strict adherence to the Divine Law and the Law of Nature, then back to the “Source of the Plan” for evaluation of the tasks done. Every creation is an agent, a doer, and a follower which has a definite pattern of tasks as an essential contributor, directly or indirectly, for the fulfillment of the general plan. This is also called unity in diversity among all creations, when all creations regardless of class or division they belong are in same way or another, doing their parts in the fulfillment of the establishment of God’s Kingdom on Earth.
Too successfully venture on the task requires a clear overview and understanding of the plan - the purpose of life; of the “Source of the Plan” - God; and, the relationships of the creations to his creator. And to understand the nature of God we must know everything about Him. But how can we know God if we don’t even knew His whereabouts? Or, how can we know His whereabouts if we don’t even knew Him? Thus, our first task is to search for God then to understand our relationships to Him.
The Evidences. Now, let us answer this question: “Where is God?” Man was designed and created in like manner as the Earth. If the heart is the part in man’s body where God’s presence is manifested through love, it must be in the same manner that the Earth is the only place in the universe where God’s presence can be traced. I believe that, for man, his hearth is there where his treasure is, thus also to God. Man is God’s best creation and is like a treasure to God. Man is living on Earth and so God must also be in the same place as where He is - in a place called the “heart of the Earth.”
The Earth is a reflection of man, or the reverse. The Earth is made up of soil and water, as man is with flesh and blood; the Earth with air, as man is breathing; the Earth with rocks and mountains, as man with bones and muscles; the Earth with vegetations, as man covered with hair; and, the Earth produces heat and thunder, as man produces bodily heat and anger.
With his heart, man feels the heat of love and this reminds him that there is someone, a supernatural being who is caring for him, guiding and embracing him as a living and a loving creation. If man was created with a heart, and the Earth and the universe in the same manner as man, where is the hearth of the Earth then? Let us examine this: The Earth is a spherical object made up of land masses and bodies of water. And there must be a place on Earth where evidences or signs lead us to its heart. These evidences must bear the characteristics of the first place where God manifested His presence - in the Garden of Eden. But the Garden of Eden has gone! However, God is so intelligent that He leave these signs that could lead us to our search for Him.
When God faded away the Garden of Eden on the face of the Earth, He intelligently designed monuments in memory of His best creations - the monuments of Adam and Eve. These monuments are in mountain forms bearing the features of a man and a woman perfectly lying down. And God put these monuments in the place where He once put the Garden of Eden. Today, these monuments can be seen near the Dinagat Island of Surigao del Norte in the southern part of the Philippine Islands. Yes, these are evidences that the heart of the Earth is within the Philippine Islands. However, how can we prove that these mountains are really of Adam and of Eve? Did God really made them (monuments)? Did God tells us about it to know of their first dwellings, or where the Garden of Eden was?
God is really a sophisticated being. All His works are interrelated with each others. We never expected that when He faded away the Garden of Eden, He leave marks of evidences for us to witness His power and miracles. These mountains are not the sole works of nature. Because, how nature through its natural phenomenal forces could have created land structures exactly the same as of the features of man? If that is so, then we could claim that the Earth as part of nature could have aided God in His creations of these monuments. As I have written on the earlier parts of this book that the Earth and man were created in almost the same pattern, then these two creations could have helped God, directly or indirectly, on His works and miracles. Thus, man and Earth as both parts of nature must have the same pattern of task to do.
Another evidence that could be considered as miracle done by nature is the Chocolate Hills of Bohol in the Philippine Islands. These hills are just like the ordinary hills but one thing that made them unique is that they are shaped and scattered in almost uniform size. They are somewhat intentionally put there like mounds of soil from a very big container, and their slopes are almost the same. This might be just an ordinary work of nature but how these land masses could be so distinct that they are the only kind in this world? How nature through its natural phenomenal forces constantly working could have created land structures so unique that have never been duplicated since time immemorial? Besides, these hills are not within the mountain range as evidence of diastrophic movement. If this is the sole work of nature it must have been duplicated but why it is not been so? And so there must be some kind of intelligent being that designed and worked on it. But what is purpose then? We may not have the right to answer the question raised but one thing is sure, that God made it for a reason.
Somewhere in the northern part of Luzon in the Philippine Islands lies another wonder that is related to the Chocolate Hills - the Rice Terraces of Cordillera. This rice terraces has no physical feature directly related to the Chocolate Hills because these two are so different from one another. However, if we examine their relationships we can picture an event that took place long time ago. In an ordinary work of a man as he goes on sculpturing a wood, clay, or a stone, there must always be something removed, discarded, or taken off as junks from the piece. These junks are to be thrown out as mere pieces of dirt. The Rice Terraces is a sculpture in itself, and the land masses taken from it were thrown away like garbage to a place now called the Chocolate Hills.
Remember that the first creations of God were the spiritual beings. Before the creation of man greater parts of the Earth were already taken cared of by these spiritual beings as preparation for God’s best creation. The sky served as their main thoroughfare with, now called, UFO’s (unidentified flying objects) as their vehicles. The Earth was so different that time from what it is right now. These spiritual beings were so intelligent and their technologies were so advanced that even the most sophisticated technologies man have ever made pale in comparisons. They were the one responsible in the creations of these wonderful works of God. They were the first beings created to aid God in the establishment of His Kingdom on Earth.
Deuterium, also known as heavy water, is the first element to appear during the formations of stars and galaxies. The largest deposit of deuterium on Earth is found in the Philippines along the Philippine Deep. Within this deep, the distance to the Earth’s core, is the shortest. On the other side of the Earth, almost exactly the opposite where Philippine Deep is, rests the mysterious Bermuda Triangle, an imaginary triangular form between Miami (Florida), San Juan (Puerto Rico) and Bermuda Island. This Bermuda Triangle is famous of its extra-ordinary phenomena of inter-planetary or extra-terrestrial force that is responsible in the unexplainable disappearances of ships and aircrafts. This place is noted of its strong electromagnetic force field that jammed communication signals and absorbed anything metal, like a magnet. There were recorded messages of lost ships and planes believed to be drown within the deep of Bermuda Triangle. Others theorized that it might be due to the strong water current.
The Philippine Deep and Bermuda Triangle are actually the secret spiritual passages going to the center of the Earth - to the Spiritual World of Normosom. It is not easy to believe and recognize this claim as a fact because science tells us that the Earth’s core is made up of molten rocks and iron which constantly boiling. But science is limited only to the observable material things. It can not scope on the spiritual side. That is why, it is very impossible for science to believe that man has spirit, or that God really exists. But if you believe that nothing is impossible to God, then the truth is already presented to you.
The Philippine Archipelago was once a part of the Spiritual World during the early times of creations. It was once a paradise-like place because the Garden of Eden was once a part of it. We have to consider that through natural forces the Earth is constantly changing, and its appearance today is far different from what it was millions of years ago. Let us elaborate this further. There were four major riverheads flowing within the perimeters of the Garden of Eden - Pishon, Gihon, Tigris and Euphrates. Of all these rivers, only the Tigris and Euphrates were associated to Mesopotamia (now Iraq). No surviving evidences so far have been discovered that Pishon and Gihon were also in Mesopotamia. It is not also clear how wide the Garden of Eden was and how far was its extent. The only evidences we can consult were the remnants of the Garden, and the book bearing its records - The Book of Genesis.
Genesis 2: 10-14. A river watering the Garden flowed from Eden; there it was separated into four headwaters. The name of the first is Pishon, it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. The gold at that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there. The name of the second river is Gihon: it winds through the entire land of Cush. The name of the third river is Tigris; it runs along the east side of Asshur. And the forth river is Euphrates.
The land of Havilah is already forgotten in our present day generation, but its gold being the treasure of the land must still be there as silent evidence to its extra-ordinary past. But where is Havilah now? Where is its gold?
The Philippine has an unwritten tale very similar to Havilah. It is a land once blessed with abundance of gold where the folks can easily pick them like ordinary stones in the river. There are writers claiming that the Philippine Archipelago was once part of the Spiritual World of Lemuria, which was destroyed by catastrophic disasters, when the tectonic plates of the Pacific Ring of Fire were so active. Some writers are also unanimous that the land being referred to as Ophir where King Solomon obtained his gold was the Philippine Islands. Today, a large deposit of gold has been explored in the Provinces of Surigao (Mindoro Resource, Ltd., May 13, 2004), and probably one of the largest deposits in the world.
Eden and the Garden. Lots of writers missed Eden on their descriptions of the Garden of Eden and only touched on the garden itself. Their interpretations mislead everyone away from the real essence of the Scripture thus limiting their views on it.
Genesis 2:8-10. Now, the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. And The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground - trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters.
The Garden of Eden was just a portion or a place inside Eden because the latter was the term referred to the Spiritual World, or the Heaven itself.
