Is Mariang Makiling myth or fact?
Alfredo Salcedo Jr., a young doctor from Iloilo City and a regular reader of this column, sent several questions that might be of interest to other readers as well.
He said, since childhood, he had been interested in paranormal phenomena and even tried to discover them on his own.
Here are Dr. Salcedo’s questions and my replies:
1. Is Mariang Makiling true? Have you ever encountered her? What is her nature?
According to Philippine folk beliefs, there are three diwata or enchanted beings, all named Maria, living in sacred mountains. They are Mariang Makiling in Mt. Makiling, Mariang Sinukuan in Mt. Arayat and Mariang Banahaw in Mt. Banahaw.
They are considered mythical and legendary creatures that do not have real existence.
However, some mystics and mediums in Mt. Banahaw told me the three Marias were real and had appeared to those they wanted to see them.I do not know personally if these three are true or not. But I do not doubt the existence of such enchanted beings as fairies or diwata. They are part of the elemental kingdom or nature spirits.
2. If the Mayan Calendar’s prediction is true (that the present Earth cycle will end at midnight of Dec. 11, 2012), what can we do to prepare (religiously, morally or practically) for that event?
There is actually not much time for humankind to prepare, is there? That is only five short years from now. There is really nothing we can do about the changes that will occur.
But we can prepare ourselves by raising our consciousness or developing our sensitivity to psychic and spiritual forces. According to information from some benign entities, those who have raised their levels of awareness or clairvoyance will know what to do and where to go before the cycle ends, which is always preceded by natural calamities and disasters.
It is only very recently that more people on Earth are beginning to be aware of and doing something about the world’s environmental and ecological problems. For so long, warning signs were ignored by almost all governments.
Each of us must do our part to help reduce the pollution we caused. We cannot rely on any outside agency to do this for us.
3. Have you heard about hemi-sync? Is that effective? In what way?
Yes, I have heard about it and I even have two tapes of hemi-sync. As far as I know, this was developed by the late American engineer Robert Monroe of the Monroe Institute.
Hemi-sync is short for hemispheric synchronization. It consists of scientifically made sounds aimed at synchronizing the brain waves of the left and right hemispheres of our neocortex to achieve quickly the alpha or theta state.
Its effectiveness depends on individual sensitivity and inclinations. For some it is effective. They reach the alpha state by listening to it using an earphone. Separate but synchronized sounds are heard in each ear as one listens.
However, one can also reach the alpha state easily even without such a device by simply practicing the meditative technique I teach in my courses.
4. During my internship, I wondered why I got gloomier (and sicker) when on duty at the pediatric ward than at the medical ward. Are there more negative energies at the pediatric ward?
Perhaps in the hospital where you did your internship, yes, but we cannot generalize. Some people are just sensitive to energies and others are not. We must look at the pediatric ward to tell what was causing your negative reaction.
In any big hospital, I read that there were rooms where more patients died than at other rooms or wards. Hospital administrations should be concerned if they notice such a pattern.
