8.10.25 - Truth and Freedom

-

So many many thoughts.

Yesterday, I was talking about doing Botany with the children. We were talking about truth, and how it is such a slippery concept. Then I said, well, I don't know about truth, but I am Botany with the children now and we were doing fungi and liverworts today and they were so excited. I showed them these small plants and they were so delighted that you wouldn't believe it.

They were completely connected with the plant and it's presence in a way which made them all glow. It is so healing and beautiful. I actually cannot describe it.

Then Ben said, in a quote, Jesus says, I am the Way, the Truth and the Light. Anyone who believes in me will have Eternal Life. He said, it is often read as JESUS is the Way, etc. But it can also be read as I AM - as in the individual, when they step fully into their presence, into their individuality and really touch that divine part of themselves - that is the Way, the Truth and the Light. There is a spiritual reality to our existence. When we connect with the divine in the world around us, we connect with the divine in ourselves.

We were then debating what is Truth and he said, Jesus said, And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. We were talking about truth - what was truth? This to me is the intuitive meaning of truth - if you have heard the truth and you feel fear, then it is not really the truth. However, if you hear the truth and you are unburdened - even if it is not good news, it does set you free. 

So, the truth maybe composed of 'fact', but the most important thing the truth is, is that quality of freedom which comes with it.

When we live our truth, then we are free. We could be in a cage. We could be in imprisoned. But if that is with the truth, then we are within ourselves, living with the I AM.

So much of the world around us now is just noise. It is bits of the truth, floating about. Being weaponised. Being used to do some truly evil things. Now is the time for demons. The battle on the Internet is the battle of the narrative. I don't know what these assholes thought they were doing when they invented the internet. Now their genie is out of the bottle and they are trying to point that thing back at us and shoot us. They created the weapons to try and enslave us. But if anything at all, Freedom is hardcoded into the human DNA. That is who we are. Tyrants will come and go, but freedom will always remain. The tentacles will try to control us, but there will always be thoughts and feelings, slipping through. If Freedom is the Spirit, Truth is the sword. 

In this age of Michael, at this time of Michael, we gather up the sword as we move with courage towards freedom...

Geylang Serai is the place i feel most at home in Singapore. Possibly because a vast majority of the population are still Singaporean and i speak the language they speak there - Malay. Also, it hasn't changed that much. OK, it has, but i'd like to think it hasn't. We ate at the new market there which used to be a little better than an open sewer. But it was our open sewer and we loved it. Geylang was heaving with people getting ready for Ramadan. On the table we have sup kambing, otak-otak, nasi padang and rojak. Drinkswise we have lime juice, Kickapoo and teh. It is hot - really hot. We are all pespiring and we can feel our clothes stick to our skin and bellies and thighs. Our hair is continuously in our faces, dripping and sticking too. The only thing that brings relief is a soak in the pool or a shower and an airconditioned room. No wonder when the boys came back, the first thing they said was, ah, it's great to be back in th cool weather again!. Singaporeans love th...

19.3.26 - 74 - Eulogy: What will survive of us is love

I wrote and read this for Pa at the service. It was in long hand, but I have it here typed out now. It is peppered with verses from the New Testament, because I was asked by the priest to refer to Jesus occasionally, so I made that concession. Big shout out to Ben and the Christian Community whom I spent many a delighted evening reading and discussing the Bible during Bible study class. =========================== Thank you everybody for coming here to honour the life of husband, father and legend which is Eric Sim Chin Seng. Pa crossed over on the 16th of March at 7.30 am. He went peacefully and gently. He breathed his way slowly past this life and on to the new one, leaving his bark, his body, which carried him and his indomitable spirit and endless capacity to love, for 81 years, to say farewell to one last time. This tribute is to you, for you, Pa, who always walked in the sacred steps of Jesus Christ and lived the best life which could be lived. Part I: John 1:14 "The word be...

I should try and love Singapore. And I have really tried to love it. Really. But life in Singapore is not real life. Sadly. The only thing which is real about it is my relationships with my family. I understand we lead very privileged lives. We live in a beautiful house and we live in Serangoon Gardens. I get to swim everyday. We never worry about where the next meal's coming from. Very importantly, we have our health and we have each other. These are all very good things, nothing to be sneezed at. But Singapore itself ... that's a different story. Where to begin? I cannot complain because we actually live in a very nice part of Singapore. It's it unique in all of Singapore. There is no other place like it. In fact the government should slap a preservation order on the place. It is an actual village. Ring fenced by the houses and the roads, it was possibly designed by the British Army as a defensible position. Maybe they didn't mean to do it, but it is that way neverthe...
