Religion

Religion is where a person placed his trust and faith according to his own belief, knowledge and culture. Religion does not symbolize that if you belong to it you do not have to respect others belief and faith. Some sect and other culture criticize and ravingly contradict other religion, because they are claiming that their party is the chosen one, and has granted the eternal wisdom and salvation. Religion as we know today is mostly affecting people's mindset and the way they live. Sometimes it controls them on a way that is directly associated with people's action, discernment, relationship and etc. Religion is the most controversial and influential body in the universe, because it penetrates different aspects of the human life such as emotional, mental, psychological, spiritual, and alike.

Religion for me is letting oneself to be near to its god/s. To help people to mold them into better ones and to seek wisdom to be able to surpass everyday obstacle that comes along the way, and seeking redemption after expiring from this world to have an eternity with deity.

I can categorize religion into different types of it based on the deity or nature that they believe.

1. Belief in One Mighty God and creator

• Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and every religion that believe in One and Only Mighty God or to Jesus Christ.

2. Belief in Wisdom and Enlightenment

• Buddhism, Confucianism and alike

3. Belief in Human Power and Legacy

• Shintoism and alike

4. Belief in animate, inanimate and spirits

• Indigenous beliefs

5. Belief in Human Observation, Knowledge and Natural processes

• Scientology

6. Belief in multiple gods

• Hinduism

7. Belief in Darkness and Evilness

Based on these types we can see that every existing religion on earth has different and peculiar way to express their praise and exaltation to their supernatural being/s or subjects. Because by glorifying and commending them they can have an extra help and graces send to them.

But based on the contextual reading, the Bible said in the Book of Revelation, that only 3 religions on the surface of the planet hold the true and genuine belief and religion. It did not specify what are that three religion to receive redemption and eternal life from God. But on my own understanding and perspective the three religion are referring to those who believe in God of Abraham and Israel, and also to those who believe in Jesus Christ are the ones that explicitly pertained in the Book of Revelation. Thus, any person or belief that is not fallen under this will be perished and never enter the everlasting life in heaven.

Religion is very important to us people because it is our way to express and seek help from a divine or extraordinary being. However, we cannot tell the most perfect one and the real one to believe, but the thing here is that the way we live in the world, our interpersonal action, the goodness you have done and the good legacy you leave to this world will be graded and most important in this life.

Whisper in the Dark

By tacio tamayo

Before the day ends and gloomy surrounds the night

I say goodbye to the brightest ray of daylight

And welcoming the musk after a short twilight.

Embracing the whole area to become so dark

To turn the trees into slumberness stark

Nocturnal beasts go out to feeding are to hark

Started with a moonless night and shrouded cloud

In a pitch-black sky the moon appears with doubt

Full moon flaunting like a trumpet that so aloud

I've the urge to play and dance under the moonlit

Transforming the night into a marvelous bit

Bringing up the night with exaltation and wit

I desire more for you in an eternal ware

But a plight of you is going so fast and near

Whispering in me that the dawn is come to flare.

Unfortunate

by tacio tamayo

How terrible my life is in this world

Full of anguish and wounds my spirit

Finding the true answer to my exit

Wandering around to search for a gold

Somewhere in this place has the solution

Solution that everyone is involved

To the true case of our condition

Seemingly they just blinded by their golf

Try to stand from your immobile chaise

To heed the listless ones and lost like us

A Reminder from a sage and a wise

Not eternal you'll reign in that office

Still the situation is not changing

Rather it goes worsen and malady

Push us more into pit of suffering

Wherever tomorrow can save today.

Deliverance

By tacio tamayo

My conscience has kept on meddling to me

Whenever time of temptation is with me

Protecting me against what might to occur;

Into unrighteous and profane such as err

Moments of testing I am vexed and dubious

What may proceed towards my own discernment

Can produce a good side or an evil views?

To have faith is always with omnipotent

Deliverance! Oh I only ask from you

Away from these seduction and temptation

For what I only yearn is to follow you

Oh God of my soul who knows my condition!

Dream and Vision

Dream is a motion in our subconsciousness that gives us scenes and acts that may or may not happen into reality. Dream is a way of our mind and soul to express our emotion, feelings, affection and reaction to whatever situation we have in the real life. It is a way also of our brain to reboot from being overused, such as when a computer is rebooted to refresh and function normally. Dreams are normally experiencing by all. Dream is a puzzle to human knowledge because of its questionable significance and origin. Dream and imagination are the same, because these two are only fabrication of our mental capability and ability. Dreams occur only in sleep, thus concerning other people's mortality are sometimes associated with them. Nightmares and bad dreams are frightening children in their sleep, so that they are possibly to be awakened and cannot continue to sleep anymore. Some grown-ups too are experiencing them. Bad dreams are produced, because of watching horror movies, bad memories, miseries and heart-breaks. Nightmare is a very serious one. As it was said a while ago, it is the reason why people cannot be awakened anymore from being sleep, because of severe nightmare that cause human's body to metabolically active, thus this very active metabolic processes while sleeping cause the body be imbalanced and leading to death.

On the other hand, dream is a way to see the future or what might happen in the future. Some people see it as a premonition and omen. Dream can be used to know what, where, who, when and how our life will be in the future up to death. Deja vu or already seen is much associated to dreams that are partially enacted in real life. Dreams as it was discussed in the Bible, it was the dream of the king of Egypt to see what the future may be ahead. Eventually, Joseph son of Jacob can interpret dreams and had come to interpret what the king had dreamed, and the famine and drought were able to be overwhelmed. Therefore, dream was used by God to tell the people what might happen in the future. 

Vision is an apparition of someone or something through a dream or in a conscious state. Vision might be a premonition, foretelling of something, omen or something that is to happen. As it was discussed in dreams, vision is like what is up to dream. The difference is that vision is more general to use than dream which is more specific when describe.

Sin and Absolution

God created us without blemish and flaw, thus we are pure in heart and sacred before we are born. But it came to the world due to the plan of devilish evil that destroyed the mankind and struck us with sin and unrighteous acts which were very against to God's will and standards. By having this event, God created the law to correct us from our sins and never again to follow that evil footsteps. But why we are much weak from the tempt of darkness. Why are we still sinning and wronging God? How can we be saved and absolved from our sins? To whom should we entrust our life?

Sin as we know is a wrong action against the standard of God and against the morality of people. It is the act of violating the laws set by God and created by humans. By allocating yourself to this opposition you are committing sin. Sin is an effect of wrong thoughts, malicious acts, and immorality. Including the seven deadly sins such as gluttony, lust, avarice, sloth, wrath, envy and the deadliest is pride. When one of it is committed, you will be fallen to sin. Sin is a consequence of something that you wrongly do against yourself, fellow and God. Because of sin people tend to burden and struggle more and more that can be carried over up to their descendants. A wrong doing always with hardship and misery. Sin needs forgiveness and absolution to be able to be liberated from the captivity of it. Do you realize that your problems and your miseries are effects of your sins? Your family's poverty and poorness are come from your sin? If you will just let go of it and stop doing such sinful deeds, light will come to you and redemption from God will be sought.

The answer to sin is forgiveness from God and absolution. Maybe you cannot able to go back and correct or to right the sin, but to live with righteous life and following the commands of God are better way to fill it. Penance and contrite heart should you have to be able to show you repentance and acceptance of your sins. We are human beings and we are very frail to sin, but because God is so merciful, he does not keep his forgiveness, instead, an ocean of mercy and forgiveness he has.

What God wants us to do is to believe to the one who he sent. The one who he sacrificed to the cross to redeem our sins and defeat death. Because of sin death is formed, moreover, when sin is not ended death will still remain in us. However, by the power and might of our Lord God who sent his only son to die for us, so that sin may be forgiven and we are able to be saved from death, because he had defeated it already and that we have an eternal life after this earthly being. 

 

Therefore the only absolution we have is the faith and trust we have to the Lord Jesus Christ. Believing in him guaranteed us that our sins are forgiven and we are free from death at all. Not the death of body but a new life to come with him in God's presence. 

 

But it does not mean that we are already redeemed and forgiven we are to do sin anyway. Remember that sin is the cause of impeding grace from God, and cause greater misery and infliction in life. We must to follow God and Lord Jesus Christ to spear ourselves from the siege of evilness in our lives. When our faith is weak the devil uses that to let us commit sin, thus important thing to do is to pray and have God's guidance and love always.
