ACHIEVING PEACE AND LETTING GO OF SUFFERING
Many people might not have heard of spiritual fitness.

WAR IS OVER if you want it. Merry Christmas from John and Yoko. somewhere in the opening of November. Yoko Ono-Lennon tweeted to translate her and John’s everlasting message of “WAR IS OVER” (started as a poster campaign at 1968) into any language as much as possible. According to this post, further instructions were to print them and post theme everywhere, from your workplace to your bedroom. It might be wishful thinking or ludicrous, but what the heck. it’s fun.

The inchoate Bangsamoro Juridical Entity is the generic name of Iraq
Yes the GRP will not lose our sovereignty over Mindanao, but let us not be surprised when, as virtually a caretaker government, the Arroyo administration finds it necessary to stay in power with the pretext of upholding peace and order in the territory of the Bangsamoro.
Just how close have they studied the consequences of the preliminary agreement to be signed tomorrow by Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Hermogenes Esperon, Jr. and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front? Are the silenced people of the Moro “homeland” prepared to see themselves under a brand new government of military oligarchs who for years have stood their grounds against each other? The absence of an apparent leader will result to a war of factions similar to that froth of hostilities already brewing and spewing in Baghdad. The government who would be closely monitoring the juridical state endowed with a regional security force (that would surely be used as clannish or partisan bodyguards) will find it soon imperative to sound an alarm after threats of infantile destabilization in the Bangsamoro, paving the way to more breakaway groups and imminent extremism.
To understand the future of Mindanao we must understand its present status. The numbers of dissenting groups have long lurked in the shadows, and they are waiting for the slackening of the Moro ties to the GRP before they re-emerge into the political battlegrounds. History has it that what they cannot attain by law they struggle to take hold by force. I wonder how many of the 712 villages fear the same.[continue reading]
