HACIENDA LUISITA REMAINS THORNY & THREAT-FILLED
The thorny Hacienda Luisita, among the grand estates of the Cojuangco family, remains as threat-filled as ever. It is a showcase of a land reform executive decision that has gone haywire.

Theos Sophia or divine wisdom did account for spiritist mediumship, with many pages devoted to it alone in the Letters of Mahatmas to A.Sinnett.

How far the G8 can carve out new development arrangements that can re-secure their hold of the said regions is surely in question. Emerging markets that are purse-rich are now much engaged in North Africa and the Middle East, rendering them as alternative orbits for dependence in case the newly installed Arab regimes will lose the old ‘chocolate bar sweeteners’ of aid and investments from their Western masters.

There is today a subtle if not overt maligning and slandering of spiritual Masters by self-acclaimed ‘starseeds’ and ‘lightworkers’.
