Hidden Voice

I've watch something...
and it says It all ends here!

I remember when I was a kid
looking at the television (with my mouth wide open)

The way I gazed... seems like flabbergasted with the
cartoons, comedic and fictional movies I'm watching...

It's FUN

but..
as I grew up - my passion for these things fades...

what matters the most for now
is the movie of REALITY.

It All Ends Here!

but still I can't see the REALITY...

indie films??
..no


dramas??
..no

documentaries??
..no

The reality is within us, involves us
and somehow...
US.

how should I live in this society....

...when I was blinded by the Lies??

huh?!

Do I need to become a child again?

is there a truth existing in the midst
of this cowardly dimensions??

WHERE IS IT??

Can i find it??

remember? I was Blind!

drugs...
alcohols...
gambling...
corruption...
murder...
premarital sex...

Lies! Lies! LIES!

I can't see it!  i can't see it!

where is it?

Can YOU show me??

RELIGION??
I have that...

GOODNESS??
what is good and bad?
is there a difference?
first of all we have different standards!

WHERE?!

Can YOU show me???

I can feel the beat of my heart...

the voice of my mind...

I can see YOU!

but are you willing to be here with me??

I need LOVE...
I need CARE...
I need an ANSWER...

hurry...
please...

I can see him now... he's smiling...
the one named DEATH.

please...

I'm afraid!

hurry... please..
please...

HE??

who is HE??

the WAY??
the TRUTH??
the LIFE??

HE!

(my heart stopped beating!)


and HE's there...

I'm stunned!

HE entered my heart before it stopped!

but...
still...

I can see him, the one named DEATH...
he holds my breath, my hands....

though...

there's a difference...

the LIGHT...
I can see it...

HE is the light!

DEATH leaves me with HIM!

I can see you over here...

It All Ends Here??
...yes!

the END is here!

HE is the BEGINNING...

HE is the END...


FOREVER!

----- YOU DID IT! -----

are YOU asking me??

who am I??

I"m your Hidden Voice...

your Will.

I am CONSCIENCE...
that's the way they call me!

CONSCIENCE!

A Soul to Heaven

 Aristotle's View on Souls states that aside from man the plants and animals also have souls. The only difference is human soul has the superiority among other living things.

Soul is defined as the first principle of life. As we all know living things has life- it is the basis of identifying whether the given object is living or non-living.

 If the soul is the first principle of life and life is present in all living things. By transitivity, it implies that animals and plants, as a subsets of living things, also have souls.

 In Aristotle's view on Souls there are certain differences among the 3 classes. This are the three degrees of soul:

  Nutritive Soul ----> (plants) The reason for growth, nutrition and reproduction.
  Sensory Soul ----> (animals) The reason for locomotion and perception.
  Rational Soul ----> (human beings) The reason for intellect and reasoning.

  The higher degree of soul also has all of the lower degree (Nested Hierarchy). All living things grow, nourish themselves, and reproduce while the animals also move and perceive. Humans do all of the above and reason, as well.

MAIN OBJECTIVE:
 If plants, animals and human have souls, is it possible that all of them can be saved and enter the kingdom of God? 

 The answer is NO because in order to be saved, you must accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and this is an example of a personal decision making. Decision making is a part of rational soul in a way that it involves Critical Thinking. 
Critical thinking has been described as “reasonable reflective thinking focused on deciding what to believe or do.”  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_thinking)





 " Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God " -John 1:12

 If you believe in God it is because of your faith. Some of us proves our faith through reasoning.

 The plants and animals are not capable of reasoning and decision making, therefore they cannot enter the Kingdom of God [because they can't be saved]

 Take Note! 
 The nutritive, sensory and rational souls are philosophical point of views. There's no scientific basis if these are true... but the main point is philosophical or not we can prove that only man can enter the Kingdom of God.

New School Year Resolution

  I'm a BS-Math student in Polytechnic University of the Philippines and I'm on my third year. After the adventure of my great summer because of my church activities like camping, school counseling, bible school teaching and other youth gatherings I felt sad because school days are here again.
  By the way too much about vacation and I don't want this "article"(that's what I call this)  talk more about my sadness while the days of school approaching.
  I want to focus about my New School Year Resolution...

  During my first year in college I tried to have changes in my life because when I'm on my high school days, I'm a typical guy who always been bullied and verbally abused by my classmates, that's why I decided to become a leader in college. Finally I was elected as a President of my Class not just because they voted me to become the president but also because I want it, I want to prove something, something new and something bigger far from what I know I can do. I also joined in different organizations like theater, math club and researching. I taught this will help me in changing my past.
  That year is also the same year I'd decided to accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior. JIVE YOUTH taught me the real way how to lead. First I thought being a leader is to become the master of all, to be the boss, to be the greatest among my class but they helped me to realized that to become a leader you must be a good servant - a good follower. After my first year in college all of my perceptions in life had changed...
  On my second year, I'd decided to surrender my position and all of my organizations. I decided to serve not others but God. That year I focused serving in our Church and became one of the Youth Leaders. As a God's Servant I tried to become a good example to others... I remember my "kuya" in church saying "a leader is a man of influence". thanks to Kuya Rege (special mention! peace)...
  This year I want to be a good leader not just on church... now I will apply the word "INTEGRITY".  My New School Year Resolution will be leading others to Jesus... and show who really I am... not to be ashamed of being a Christian.. A little Christ... Let others see not Jof as a leader but see Jof with Christ as the one who leads them...
