I have written several blogs about my beliefs, and you could see some of them if you actually search through this blog site. I am writing this blog now as a milestone to where I stand now religion wise, so that years from now, I can look back and see how I have evolved from…

Our Creators And Our Creations
What if… we were created by our creators in their own image and likeness, just as we create characters in our computer games, in our own image and likeness? The phrase “as above, so below” makes a lot more sense if we think in this way. This kind of thinking made me rethink how I…
The Urantia Book – Bible for the 20th Century?
Chanced upon the Urantia book while I was looking for a book about aliens and spirituality. It was published in 1955 by authors, who remain a mystery until now. There are groups who believe it was written by celestial beings, possibly similar to how some Christians believe the Bible was written by humans “inspired” by…
My Favorite Movies about Spirituality
The Matrix More than a movie about special effects and amazing action scenes, the Matrix is also a rather accurate interpretation of reality, as many philosophers and some reputable scientists believe. Reality can be seen as an immensely more advanced version of our massively multiplayer online games, in which our souls take the roles of different…
My Weird Path to Spirituality
1977 As with majority of Filipinos, I was baptized a Roman Catholic. 1983 I enrolled at St. Paul School of Sta. Maria, a Catholic school ran by the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres. This is to be the educational institution that molded me from grade school to high school (St. Paul College of Bocaue)….
Tour Guides – Cities and the Truth
Searching for the ultimate truth, is like exploring a city. City Guides There can be only one city, but there are many different ways to explore it. There will be a lot of tour guides you can choose from, depending on your level of experience, and on which facet of the city you want to…
Unifying Science and Religion
In our search for the truth, our ultimate goal should be to arrive at a Theory of Everything (ToE) — a theory that would unite and explain everything, from science to religion. In science, this would be similar to how Einstein developed general relativity, by unifying his previously published special relativity, and Newton’s law of…
Meditations of a former Atheist
Life sure is funny. Who would have thought I would eventually give up Atheism after being such a firm believer for 15 years? I am surprised myself. Using Catholicism and Atheism as my base, I started my little journey using articles, books, and of course, the Internet. This eventually lead me to a belief system…
Meditations of an Atheist
Many people are actually surprised to learn that I am an atheist. They find it hard to believe that someone like me, who spent at least eleven years in a Catholic school run by nuns, raised by a family of believers including my brother, who is the choir head/conductor/organist in the local church, could eventually…
Japanese Mass
On Sunday this week, J and I went on to hear mass. Normally, when Filipinos in Japan hear mass, they attend the masses offered in English. However, things are different in Kagoshima. It’s either Filipinos attend masses offered in Japanese or they don’t hear mass altogether. Why you may ask. Well, it is rumored that…
