I. Rosario: Paulit-ulit na Dasal

-

Walang prayer sa pasimula ng sinusulat kong ito pero pwede kayong mag-Rosaryo na lang.

Bakit paulit-ulit?

Bakit nga ba paulit-ulit ang mga humihingi sa iyo ng tulong? Kasi nga nangangailangan pa rin sila ng tulong. Kung nakapag-aral lamang sana sila. Kung di sana sila naaksidente. Meron pa sana silang negosyo kaso naubos sa pagkakasakit lahat ng ari-arian nila, namatay sa huli ang katuwang sa buhay, at naiwan lahat sa kanya ang mga maliliit pa nilang mga anak. Naghihirap din ang kanilang mga kamag-anak.

A, oo, wala tayo sa paraiso, marurupok tayong mga nilalang. Ang tawag ay fallen nature. Kaya tayo paulit-ulit na nagdarasal. Ulitin mo nga ng sampung beses ang "Diyos ko, tulungan mo po ako!" Naramdaman mo ba na paigting ng paigting habang inuulit-ulit mo? Parang lalung bumibigat ang damdamin o nagkakaroon ng personal na epekto ito sa iyo. Samantalang ang sabi ko lang e ulitin mo ng sampung beses. Ewan. Misteryoso pa rin ang Rosaryo.

Pwede namang mag-spontaneous prayer na lang. Walang masama. Pero iba pa rin kapag kumakatok ka paulit-ulit sa isang pinto sa kalagitnaan ng gabi, "Tulungan nyo po ako! Papasukin nyo po ako! Maawa po kayo sa akin! Saklolo!" Paulit-ulit hanggat di nagbubukas ang pinto. Hanggat may oras pa at wala pa ang mga gustong pumatay sa iyo. Nakakapagod yata iyon a! Syempre hindi naman tayo parating problemado kapag nagdarasal. Pwedeng paulit-ulit na pasasalamat. 

"Naku, salamat talaga, tatanawin ko itong malaking utang ng loob!"

"Ano ka ba kanina ka pa nagpapasalamat. Sinabi nang wala iyon e! Basta pag nagkameron ka na saka mo na lang ako bayaran."

Mas magaling yatang magdasal yung taong gipit na gipit. Wala namang kinikilingan ang Diyos. Pero bumaba nga si Kristo para iligtas ang mga makasalanan.

At katulad ng sinabi sa amin ng aming obispo pwede tayong umiyak sa Mahal na Ina, "Inay!" Ulitin mo, hanggang sa lumuwag na ang loob mo. Nandyan lang ang ating Mahal na Ina. Syempre lalaki kasi ang pagkakareveal ni Lord Jesus, at ni God the Father. Kung prefered mong magdasal sa babae, nandyan ang ating Nanay Maria.

Santa Maria, Ina ng Dyos, ipanalangin mo po kaming mga makasalanan, ngayon, at kung kami'y mamamatay. Amen.

 I started phenomenologizing about my career choice but ended up praying. What happened? Recall me as a catholic who cannot bracket out my faith because it is a fundamental part of my being. It is also not helpful if we go on the other side of the linear equation, positing there is no God, and do phenomenologizing atheistically. We have lots of proof you can review why it isn't the road we took for such things as personal as my life career choice. We didn't focus on proving the existence of God though. There are lots of better proofs out there. We merely focused on doing phenomenology and my chosen topic, which is my career choices. If I phenomenologized during the boom of television, my career would also reflect on its effect. But I reflected today wherewith AI is affecting how I work. I used AI to simplify my complex ideas about my own career choices, which is like using a calculator to help me understand and situate those things that are bothering me about my career. Like ve...

Practical Thinking

-
 Would you believe that practical thinking is ethical thinking? "What path will I choose to achieve the end? Or what means will I use to achieve my goal?" "What should I do," is a practical question. But "What should I do with my life," is already half practical and half theoretical. It can include ethical philosophy already. Now extending it, the question "Lord, what should I do with my life?" becomes a prayer, a summon for help since we know by experience that the situation that is in front of us, is beyond our capacity to solve. We know by experience if something we need to solve is within our capacity by way of skill, knowledge, or accumulated experiences. We also know if its beyond our capacity to solve. We give thanks God that we have a banana to eat--we don't commonly ask God for help in eating the banana.🤣 I asked an AI and I actually learned a lot about my situation, why it's different from other's experiences, why it seems ...

 You are also a model maker you may not yet realize though. The model out there for the taking is 20-20-20 rule for avoiding gadget glares and its consequences that for every 20 minute use of gadget with glares, you stop for 20 seconds and look 20 feet away. Then you observed it and acted on it. However, through trial and error you noticed that when you have migraine or is about to onset, 20 minutes is too long, and the 20 second time out is too short, and that 20 feet looking away is abrupt for you that you observed that you still look blank or blurred before you look and observe something 20 feet away. Perhaps you're still in your thought and can't observe things right away. You observe too that its better to stop, look away, and think about what you're reading for example without any timer which is more at pace with your thinking processes. The additional problem that you noticed though is that you tend to bypass the 20 minute focus when you don't have migraine and s...
