Ang hypnotism ay nangangahulugan din ng pagpapatulog:
Greco-Roman god of sleep. Hypnos was the son of Nyx (Night) and the twin brother of Thanatos (Death). In Greek myth he is variously described as living in the underworld or on the island of Lemnos ( according to Homer) or (according to Book XI of Ovid's Metamorphoses) in a dark, musty cave in the land of the Cimmerians, through which flowed the waters of Lethe, the river of forgetfulness and oblivion. Hypnos lay on his soft couch, surrounded by his many sons, who were the bringers of dreams. Chief among them were Morpheus, who brought dreams of men; Icelus, who brought dreams of animals; and Phantasus, who brought dreams of inanimate things.
In Book XIV of Homer's Iliad, Hypnos is enlisted by Hera to lull Zeus to sleep so that she can aid the Greeks in their war against Troy. As a reward for his services, Hypnos is given Pasithea, one of the Graces, to wed. In Book XVI of the Iliad, Hypnos and Thanatos carry the body of Sarpedon home to Lycia after he is slain by Patroclus, a scene depicted in the 6th century BC by the Greek artist Euphronius and others.Mapapansing me kaugnayan ang mga ito sa mga alamat or myth:

body of stories concerning the gods, heroes, and rituals of the ancient Greeks. That the myths contained a considerable element of fiction was recognized by the more critical Greeks, such as the philosopher Plato in the 5th–4th centuries BC. In general, however, in the popular piety of the Greeks, the myths were viewed as true accounts. Greek mythology has subsequently had extensive influence on the arts and literature of Western civilization, which fell heir to much of Greek culture.



Although people of all countries, eras, and stages of civilization have developed myths that explain the existence and workings of natural phenomena, recount the deeds of gods or heroes, or seek to justify social or political institutions, the myths of the Greeks have remained unrivaled in the Western world as sources of imaginative and appealing ideas. Poets and artists from ancient times to the present have derived inspiration from Greek mythology and have discovered contemporary significance and relevance in Classical mythological themes.


1. The Homeric poems: the Iliad and the Odyssey



* Homer, bust by an unknown artist.

The 5th-century-BC Greek historian Herodotus remarked that Homer and Hesiod gave to the Olympian gods their familiar characteristics. Few today would accept this literally. In the first book of the Iliad, the son of Zeus and Leto (Apollo, line 9) is as instantly identifiable to the Greek reader by his patronymic as are the sons of Atreus (Agamemnon and Menelaus, line 16). In both cases, the audience is expected to have knowledge of the myths that preceded their literary rendering. Little is known to suggest that the Greeks treated Homer, or any other source of Greek myths, as mere entertainment, whereas there are prominent Greeks from Pindar to the later Stoa for whom myths, and those from Homer in particular, are so serious as to warrant bowdlerization or allegorization.


2. The works of Hesiod: Theogony and Works and Days


The fullest and most important source of myths about the origin of the gods is the Theogony of Hesiod (c. 700 BC). The elaborate genealogies mentioned above are accompanied by folktales and etiological myths. The Works and Days shares some of these in the context of a farmer's calendar and an extensive harangue on the subject of justice addressed to Hesiod's possibly fictitious brother Perses. The orthodox view treats the two poems as quite different in theme and treats the Works and Days as a theodicy (a natural theology). It is possible, however, to treat the two poems as a diptych, each part dependent on the other. The Theogony declares the identities and alliances of the gods, while the Works and Days gives advice on the best way to succeed in a dangerous world; and Hesiod urges that the most reliable—though by no means certain—way is to be just.



Fragmentary post-Homeric epics of varying date and authorship filled the gaps in the accounts of the Trojan War recorded in the Iliad and Odyssey; the so-called Homeric Hymns (shorter surviving poems) are the source of several important religious myths. Many of the lyric poets preserved various myths, but the odes of Pindar of Thebes (flourished 6th–5th century BC) are particularly rich in myth and legend. The works of the three tragedians—Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, all of the 5th century BC—are remarkable for the variety of the traditions they preserve.

In Hellenistic times (323–30 BC) Callimachus, a 3rd-century-BC poet and scholar in Alexandria, recorded many obscure myths; his contemporary, the mythographer Euhemerus, suggested that the gods were originally human, a view known as Euhemerism. Apollonius of Rhodes, another scholar of the 3rd century BC, preserved the fullest account of the Argonauts in search of the Golden Fleece.

In the period of the Roman Empire, the Geography of Strabo (1st century BC), the Library of the pseudo-Apollodorus (attributed to a 2nd-century-AD scholar), the antiquarian writings of the Greek biographer Plutarch, and the works of Pausanias, a 2nd-century-AD historian, as well as the Latin Genealogies of Hyginus, a 2nd-century-AD mythographer, have provided valuable sources in Latin of later Greek mythology.


Archaeological discoveries

The discovery of the Mycenaean civilization by Heinrich Schliemann, a 19th-century German amateur archaeologist, and the discovery of the Minoan civilization in Crete (from which the Mycenaean ultimately derived) by Sir Arthur Evans, a 20th-century English archaeologist, are essential to the 21st-century understanding of the development of myth and ritual in the Greek world. Such discoveries illuminated aspects of Minoan culture from about 2200 to 1450 BC and Mycenaean culture from about 1600 to 1200 BC; these eras were followed by a Dark Age that lasted until about 800 BC. Unfortunately, the evidence about myth and ritual at Mycenaean and Minoan sites is entirely monumental, because the Linear B script (an ancient form of Greek found in both Crete and Greece) was mainly used to record inventories.



Geometric designs on pottery of the 8th century BC depict scenes from the Trojan cycle, as well as the adventures of Heracles. The extreme formality of the style, however, renders much of the identification difficult, and there is no inscriptional evidence accompanying the designs to assist scholars in identification and interpretation. In the succeeding Archaic (c. 750–c. 500 BC), Classical (c. 480–323 BC), and Hellenistic periods, Homeric and various other mythological scenes appear to supplement the existing literary evidence.


Forms of myth in Greek culture

To distinguish between myth, legend, and folktale can be useful, provided it is remembered that the Greeks themselves did not do so.


Religious myths


Greek religious myths are concerned with gods or heroes in their more serious aspects or are connected with ritual. They include cosmogonical tales of the genesis of the gods and the world out of Chaos, the successions of divine rulers, and the internecine struggles that culminated in the supremacy of Zeus, the ruling god of Olympus (the mountain that was considered the home of the gods). They also include the long tale of Zeus's amours with goddesses and mortal women, which usually resulted in the births of younger deities and heroes. The goddess Athena's unique status is implicit in the story of her motherless birth (she sprang full-grown from Zeus's forehead); and the myths of Apollo explain that god's sacral associations, describe his remarkable victories over monsters and giants, and stress his jealousy and the dangers inherent in immortal alliances.



Myths of Dionysus, on the other hand, demonstrate the hostility aroused by a novel faith. Some myths are closely associated with rituals, such as the account of the drowning of the infant Zeus's cries by the Curetes, attendants of Zeus, clashing their weapons, or Hera's annual restoration of her virginity by bathing in the spring Canathus. Some myths about heroes and heroines also have a religious basis. The tale of creation and moral decline forms part of the myth of the Four Ages (see below Myths of the ages of the world). The subsequent destruction of humanity by flood and regeneration of humans from stones is partly based on folktale.


Legends


Myths were viewed as embodying divine or timeless truths, whereas legends (or sagas) were quasi-historical. Hence, famous events in epics, such as the Trojan War, were generally regarded as having really happened, and heroes and heroines were believed to have actually lived. Earlier sagas, such as the voyage of the Argonauts, were accepted in a similar fashion. Most Greek legends were embellished with folktales and fiction, but some certainly contain a historical substratum. Such are the tales of more than one sack of Troy, which are supported by archaeological evidence, and the labours of Heracles, which might suggest Mycenaean feudalism. Again, the legend of the Minotaur (a being part human, part bull) could have arisen from exaggerated accounts of bull leaping in ancient Crete.


In another class of legends, heinous offenses—such as attempting to rape a goddess, deceiving the gods grossly by inculpating them in crime, or assuming their prerogatives—were punished by everlasting torture in the underworld. The consequences of social crimes, such as murder or incest, were also described in legend (e.g., the story of Oedipus, who killed his father and married his mother). Legends were also sometimes employed to justify existing political systems or to bolster territorial claims.


Folktales



Folktales, consisting of popular recurring themes and told for amusement, inevitably found their way into Greek myth. Such is the theme of lost persons—whether husband, wife, or child (e.g., Odysseus, Helen of Troy, or Paris of Troy)—found or recovered after long and exciting adventures. Journeys to the land of the dead were made by Orpheus (a hero who went to Hades to restore his dead wife, Eurydice, to the realm of the living), Heracles, Odysseus, and Theseus (the slayer of the Minotaur). The victory of the little man by means of cunning against impossible odds, the exploits of the superman (e.g., Heracles), or the long-delayed victory over enemies are still as popular with modern writers as they were with the Greeks.

The successful countering of the machinations of cruel sires and stepmothers, the rescue of princesses from monsters, and temporary forgetfulness at a crucial moment are also familiar themes in Greek myth. Recognition by tokens, such as peculiarities of dress or Odysseus's scar, is another common folktale motif. The babes-in-the-woods theme of the exposure of children and their subsequent recovery is also found in Greek myth. The Greeks, however, also knew of the exposure of children as a common practice.


Types of myths in Greek culture
Myths of origin

Myths of origin represent an attempt to render the universe comprehensible in human terms. Greek creation myths (cosmogonies) and views of the universe (cosmologies) were more systematic and specific than those of other ancient peoples. Yet their very artistry serves as an impediment to interpretation, since the Greeks embellished the myths with folktale and fiction told for its own sake. Thus, though the aim of Hesiod's Theogony is to describe the ascendancy of Zeus (and, incidentally, the rise of the other gods), the inclusion of such familiar themes as the hostility between the generations, the enigma of woman (Pandora), the exploits of the friendly trickster (Prometheus), and the struggles against powerful beings or monsters like the Titans (and, in later tradition, the Giants) enhances the interest of an epic account.




According to Hesiod, four primary divine beings first came into existence: the Gap (Chaos), Earth (Gaea), the Abyss (Tartarus), and Love (Eros). The creative process began with the forcible separation of Gaea from her doting consort Heaven (Uranus) in order to allow her progeny to be born. The means of separation employed, the cutting off of Uranus's genitals by his son Cronus, bears a certain resemblance to a similar story recorded in Babylonian epic. The crudity is relieved, however, in characteristic Greek fashion, by the friendly collaboration of Uranus and Gaea, after their divorce, on a plan to save Zeus from the same Cronus, his cannibalistic sire.



According to Greek cosmological concepts, the Earth was viewed as a flat disk afloat on the river of Ocean. The Sun (Helios) traversed the heavens like a charioteer and sailed around the Earth in a golden bowl at night. Natural fissures were popularly regarded as entrances to the subterranean house of Hades, i.e., the home of the dead.


Myths of the ages of the world

From a very early period, Greek myths seem to have been open to criticism and alteration on grounds of morality or of misrepresentation of known facts. In the Works and Days, Hesiod makes use of a scheme of Four Ages (or Races): Golden, Silver, Bronze, and Iron. “Race” is the more accurate translation, but “Golden Age” has become so established in English that both terms should be mentioned. These races or ages are separate creations of the gods, the Golden Age belonging to the reign of Cronus and the subsequent races being the creation of Zeus. Those of the Golden Age never grew old, were free from toil, and passed their time in jollity and feasting. When they died, they became guardian spirits on Earth.

Why the Golden Age came to an end Hesiod failed to explain, but it was succeeded by the Silver Age. After an inordinately prolonged childhood, the men of the Silver Age began to act presumptuously and neglected the gods. Consequently, Zeus hid them in the Earth, where they became spirits among the dead.


Zeus next created the men of the Bronze Age, men of violence who perished by mutual destruction. At this point the poet intercalates the Age (or Race) of Heroes. He thereby destroys the symmetry of the myth, in the interests of history: what is now known as the Minoan-Mycenaean period was generally believed in antiquity to have been a good time to live. (This subjection of myth to history is not universal in Greece, but it is found in writers such as Hesiod, Xenophanes, Pindar, Aeschylus, and Plato.) Of these heroes the more-favoured (who were related to the gods) reverted to a kind of restored Golden Age existence under the rule of Cronus (forced into honourable exile by his son Zeus) in the Isles of the Blessed.

The final age, the antithesis of the Golden Age, was the Iron Age, during which the poet himself had the misfortune to live. But even that was not the worst, for he believed that a time would come when infants would be born old and there would be no recourse left against the universal moral decline. The presence of evil was explained by Pandora's rash action in opening the fatal jar.

Elsewhere in Greek and Roman literature, the belief in successive periods or races is found with the belief that by some means, when the worst is reached, the system gradually (Plato, Politikos) or quickly (Virgil, Fourth Eclogue) returns to the Golden Age. Hesiod may have known this version; he wishes to have been born either earlier or later. There is also a myth of progress, associated with Prometheus, god of craftsmen, but the progress is limited, for the 19th-century concept of eternal advancement is absent from Greek thought.


Myths of the gods


Myths about the gods described their births, victories over monsters or rivals, love affairs, special powers, or connections with a cultic site or ritual. As these powers tended to be wide, the myths of many gods were correspondingly complex. Thus, the Homeric Hymns to Demeter, a goddess of agriculture, and to the Delian and Pythian Apollo describe how these deities came to be associated with sites at Eleusis, Delos, and Delphi, respectively. Similarly, myths about Athena, the patroness of Athens, tend to emphasize the goddess's love of war and her affection for heroes and the city of Athens; and those concerning Hermes (the messenger of the gods), Aphrodite (goddess of love), or Dionysus describe Hermes' proclivities as a god of thieves, Aphrodite's lovemaking, and Dionysus's association with wine, frenzy, miracles, and even ritual death. Poseidon (god of the sea) was unusually atavistic in that his union with Earth and his equine adventures appear to hark back to his pre-marine status as a horse or earthquake god.

Many myths are treated as trivial and lighthearted; but this judgment rests on the suppressed premise that any divine behaviour that seems inappropriate for a major religion must have seemed absurd and fictitious to the Greeks. Homer barely mentions the judgment of Paris, but he knew the far from trivial consequences for Troy of the favour of Aphrodite and the bitter enmity of Hera and Athena, which the “judgment of Paris” was composed to explain.



As time went on, an accretion of minor myths continued to supplement the older and more authentic ones. Thus, the loves of Apollo, virtually ignored by Homer and Hesiod, explained why the bay (or laurel) became Apollo's sacred tree and how he came to father Asclepius, a healing god. Similarly, the presence of the cuckoo on Hera's sceptre at Hermione or the invention of the panpipe were explained by fables. Such etiological myths proliferated during the Hellenistic era, though in the earlier periods genuine examples are harder to detect.



Of folk deities, the nymphs (nature goddesses) personified nature or the life in water or trees and were said to punish unfaithful lovers. Water nymphs (Naiads) were reputed to drown those with whom they fell in love, such as Hylas, a companion of Heracles. Even the gentle Muses (goddesses of the arts and sciences) blinded their human rivals, such as the bard Thamyris. Satyrs (youthful folk deities with bestial features) and sileni (old and drunken folk deities) were the nymphs' male counterparts. Like sea deities, sileni possessed secret knowledge that they would reveal only under duress. Charon, the grisly ferryman of the dead, was also a popular figure of folktale.


Myths of heroes


Hero myths included elements from tradition, folktale, and fiction. The saga of the Argonauts, for example, is highly complex and includes elements from folktale and fiction. Episodes in the Trojan cycle, such as the departure of the Greek fleet from Aulis or Theseus's Cretan expedition and death on Scyros, may belong to traditions dating from the Minoan-Mycenaean world. On the other hand, events described in the Iliad probably owe far more to Homer's creative ability than to genuine tradition. Even heroes like Achilles, Hector, or Diomedes are largely fictional, though doubtlessly based on legendary prototypes. The Odyssey is the prime example of the wholesale importation of folktales into epic. All the best-known Greek hero myths, such as the labours of Heracles and the adventures of Perseus, Cadmus, Pelops, or Oedipus, depend more for their interest on folktales than on legend.



Certain heroes—Heracles, the Dioscuri (the twins Castor and Pollux), Amphiaraus (one of the Argonauts), and Hyacinthus (a youth whom Apollo loved and accidentally killed)—may be regarded as partly legend and partly religious myth. Thus, whereas Heracles, a man of Tiryns, may originally have been a historical character, the myth of his demise on Oeta and subsequent elevation to full divinity is closely linked with a cult. In time, Heracles' popularity was responsible for connecting his story with the Argonauts, an earlier attack on Troy, and with Theban myth. Similarly, the exploits of the Dioscuri are those of typical heroes: fighting, carrying off women, and cattle rustling. After their death they passed six months alternately beneath the Earth and in the world above, which suggests that their worship, like that of Persephone (the daughter of Zeus and Demeter), was connected with fertility or seasonal change.


Myths of seasonal renewal


Certain myths, in which goddesses or heroes were temporarily incarcerated in the underworld, were allegories of seasonal renewal. Perhaps the best-known myth of this type is the one that tells how Hades (Latin Pluto), the god of the underworld, carried Persephone off to be his consort, causing her mother, Demeter, the goddess of grain, to allow the earth to grow barren out of her grief. Because of her mother's grief, Zeus permitted Persephone to spend four months of the year in the house of Hades and eight in the light of day. In less benign climates, she was said to spend six months of the year in each. Some scholars hold that Persephone's time belowground represents the summer months, when Greek fields are parched and bare; but the Hymn to Demeter, the earliest source for the myth, states explicitly that Persephone returns when the spring flowers are flourishing (line 401). Myths of seasonal renewal, in which the deity dies and returns to life at particular times of the year, are plentiful. An important Greek example is the Cretan Zeus, mentioned above.


Myths involving animal transformations

Many Greek myths involve animal transformations, though there is no proof that theriolatry (animal worship) was ever practiced by the Greeks. Gods sometimes assumed the form of beasts in order to deceive goddesses or women. Zeus, for example, assumed the form of a bull when he carried off Europa, a Phoenician princess, and he appeared in the guise of a swan in order to attract Leda, wife of a king of Sparta. Poseidon took the shape of a stallion to beget the wonder horses Arion and Pegasus.

These myths do not suggest theriolatry. No worship is offered to the deity concerned. The animals serve other purposes in the narratives. Bulls were the most powerful animals known to the Greeks and may have been worshipped in the remote past. But, for the Greeks, in even the earliest sources there is no indication that Zeus or Poseidon were once bulls or horses or that Hera was ever “ox-eyed” other than metaphorically or that “gray-eyed” Athena was ever “owl-faced.”


Other types

Other types of myth exemplified the belief that the gods sometimes appeared on Earth disguised as men and women and rewarded any help or hospitality offered them. Baucis, an old Phrygian woman, and Philemon, her husband, for example, were saved from a flood by offering hospitality to Zeus and Hermes, both of whom were in human form.



The punishment of mortals' presumption in claiming to be the gods' superiors, whether in musical skill or even the number of their children, is described in several myths. The gods' jealousy of mortals' musical talents appears in the beating and flaying of the aulos-playing satyr, Marsyas, by Athena and Apollo, as well as in the attaching of ass's ears to King Midas for failing to appreciate the superiority of Apollo's music to that of the god Pan. Jealousy was the motive for the slaying of Niobe's many children, because Niobe flaunted her fecundity to the goddess Leto, who had only two offspring. Similar to such stories are the moral tales about the fate of Icarus, who flew too high on homemade wings, or the myth about Phaethon, the son of Helios, who failed to perform a task too great for him (controlling the horses of the chariot of the Sun).


Transformation into a flower or tree—whether to escape a god's embrace (as with Daphne, a nymph transformed into a laurel tree), as the result of an accident (as with Hyacinthus, a friend of Apollo, who was changed into a flower), or because of pride (as with the beautiful youth Narcissus, who fell in love with his own reflection and was changed into a flower)—was a familiar theme in Greek myth.



Also popular were myths of fairylands, such as the Garden of the Hesperides (in the far west) or the land of the Hyperboreans (in the far north), or encounters with unusual creatures, such as the Centaurs, or distinctive societies, such as the Amazons.


Greek mythological characters and motifs in art and literature

Western people of all eras have been moved and baffled by the deceptive simplicity of Greek myths, and Greek mythology has had a profound effect on the development of Western civilization.



The earliest visual representations of mythological characters and motifs occur in late Mycenaean and sub-Mycenaean art. Though identification is controversial, Centaurs, a siren, and even Zeus's lover Europa have been recognized. Mythological and epic themes are also found in Geometric art of the 8th century BC, but not until the 7th century did such themes become popular in both ceramic and sculptured works. During the Classical and subsequent periods, they became commonplace. The birth of Athena was the subject of the east pediment of the Parthenon in Athens, and the legend of Pelops and of the labours of Heracles were the subjects of the corresponding pediment and the metopes (a space on a Doric frieze) of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia. The battles of gods with Giants and of Lapiths (a wild race in northern Greece) with Centaurs were also favourite motifs. Pompeian frescoes reveal realistic representations of Theseus and Ariadne, Perseus, the fall of Icarus, and the death of Pyramus.



The great Renaissance masters added a new dimension to Greek mythology. Among the best-known subjects of Italian artists are Sandro Botticelli's Birth of Venus, the Ledas of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, and Raphael's Galatea.



Through the medium of Latin and, above all, the works of Ovid, Greek myth influenced poets such as Dante and Petrarch in Italy and Geoffrey Chaucer in England and, later, the English Elizabethans and John Milton. Jean Racine in France and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in Germany revived Greek drama, and nearly all the major English poets from William Shakespeare to Robert Bridges turned for inspiration to Greek mythology. In later centuries, Classical themes were reinterpreted by such major dramatists as Jean Anouilh, Jean Cocteau, and Jean Giraudoux in France, Eugene O'Neill in America, and T.S. Eliot in England and by great novelists such as James Joyce (Irish) and André Gide (French). The German composers Christoph Gluck (18th century) and Richard Strauss (20th century), the German-French composer Jacques Offenbach (19th century), the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky (20th century), and many others have set Greek mythological themes to music.

PHILIPPINES FANTASTIC BEINGS

In the late ‘50s, the incomparable Argentine author,

Jorge Luis Borges, made a descriptive listing of

imaginary beings. (This work has been updated, by him,

at least twice since.)

The Philippines has it own fantastic bestiary, the more

mind-boggling ones particularized in Jose Maria Pavon’s

1838-1839 Las Antiguas Leyendas de la Isla de Negros and

Los Cuentos de Esta Isla. The secular cleric put down a

“translation and exact rendering of a rare list of

extinct animals of this island. According to a document

of the year 1372.” The authenticity of the Pavon

documents, however, has remained controversial, if not

dubious.

But, to the animals; take a look – imagine! – the

following:

“The tambalusao. It was, they said, a semi-quadruped,

which lived both in the water and on the land. Its cry

was a very powerful cackle like that of a goose. When it

was hungry, in order to catch its victim (which was

always a bird), it threw from its mouth a sticky

substance which fastened the creature to the branch. It

was of vast size, and shaped like a spiny horned lizard.

Its tail was hairy, but its gums had no sharp cutting

teeth. However, it claws were horny, sharp and

poisonous. Its skin was very black, and it was said to

have great peculiarity of leaving like ink in the water

through which is passed. At night, its eyes shone like

two carbuncles.”

“The mantalario. This was, they said, a bird of

extraordinary size, of the shape and from of an

extremely large-sized peacock. It swallowed large

fruits, such as coconuts and other fruits without

chewing them. Its cry made the small birds swoon away

and the largest ones to stop stock still…”

“The macupo, or marcupo. This was a very big serpent

which was found in one of the highest mountains of the

ancient and well-known province of Buglas. …It had a

pronounced crest and was quite red in color. It

possessed a very active poison, for its expelled breath

alone would kill one instantly if it touched him. That

tree with which poison was sprinkled would bear no

leaves and would be barren. All the birds that alighted

on its branches died, and if any beast rested in its

shadow it also died. It had a long tongue which had

hairs like thorns… it had tusks as sharp as punch, and

the end of its tail was forked.”

If these animals did exist here at one point and are

now extinct, perforce the present-day Filipino should

see to it that none of the fauna (and flora) he now

shares the islands with today never meets the fate of

those fantastic beings. For even just a bird or mammal

that disappears from this terra is one too many.

balanced form, each herb containing just those elements

needed to help the particular ailment for which it is

used. They're all been tried and tested for THOUSAND of

YEARS.

We are not suggesting or disclaiming any of orthodox or

unorthodox methods of healing but we are giving more

emphasis on the naturopathy as a surest way of recovery

in general. Implementations of any comprehensible potion

in any manner not endorsed by our website are absolutely

out of our liabilities. Preparation and procedures of

application are not well explained due to some

limitations of on-line communication.

PSYCHIC PARANORMAL PHENOMENON

What is Psychic Paranormal Phenomenon? Is there any

significance in a life of mankind? Was it possible to

occur? Do these phenomenon seemed to be a phenomenon?

The answer in the last three question is absolutely

affirmative or we can say yes in any kind of forum. But

why is it that rare people have the guts to ascertain or

even to investigate this area of learning? Maybe because

of the fact that many scientists considered those things

as a Pseudo-science but that doesn't matter anymore

unless irrational thinking arises.

The Webster's Encyclopedic Dictionary define psychic as

any activity of the mind that does not belong to the

physical science, paranormal was simply beyond normal

occurrence and the phenomenon is a fact or any event

that can be explained scientifically. So, basically it

seemed to be Impossible even to combine these words to

become one but we used the term phenomenon because of

the fact that a real psychic leaves only a very small

room for an error of his predictions unlike of those who

are assuming themselves as one and that is another part

of the story. This blog was aimed to divulge the

mysteries that still remains unsolved until nowadays.

This attempt will challenge the most accurate physical

scientists to nullify the real essence of this

phenomenon. Aside from the objective of forming an

online Psychic learning and development not only in the

Philippines but in other foreign countries as well, we

also encourage comments and suggestions to post any

reactions or disbelief regarding Psychic Paranormal

Phenomenon.

In support, the following documents will be presented

consecutively and it's up to your hands to initiate a

“60 Millions ago, the same time, of the dinosaur era

destruction …From the ocean floor, Mt. H (Everest) rise

to became the highest mountain in the world…Signifying

that this place will become the abode of the highest and

greatestYogi of all times…The Lords of lords and God of

gods. That no other than Sada Siva…”

Shiva – (4,500 B.C) During His time the kingdom called

Bharata Varsa enclosing from Afghanistan to the

Philippines. Ancient Sanskrit was used as a medium of

communication, so as to let people understand each

other.

His son Bhaerava, after climbing the mountain of God

called Mt. H during those early times, he decided to

travel to the Philippines that was then called as

“Mudiipa”.

He performed a total *pranam to his father Shiva to

accept blessing for his travel. Then, from the Himalaya

mountain he rode an elephant to Tamil, India where he

made a bamboo raft to reach the Philippines, these

bamboos are the larger type which until now can be found

in the islands of Albay, like Cagraray and Rapu-rapu. A

proof that this was brought from India to the

Philippines.

What is meant by Mudiipa? “Land at the middle of the

Earth,” It’s ancient name before it was called Maharlika

then Filipinas.

EPIC OF IBALONG

“Is this a mere speculation? Then, Read on!”





Ibalong, the sixty stanzas the remain of a full-length

folk epic that is today little known even in Kabikolan

itself, was presumably jotted down in its complete Bicol

narrative by Fray Bernardino de Melendreras (1815-

1867), a Franciscan missionary in Ginobatan, Albay, from

a minstrel referred to in the epic as Kadungung and who

could be the same wandering bard described years later

by another Franciscan, Fray Jose Castaño (b. 1854), as

“Homero de Ibalon.”



Put afterwards into Spanish by Melendreras in Ibal, a

400-page manuscript in verse on the ancient custom of

the Indios of Albay, its sixty-stanza portion was later

included in a treatise on the Bicol Region by Castaño in

1895 as un pequeño fragmento inedito en verso. But

because no credit was given to Melendreras by Castaño in

the work, students of the Ibalong have since presumed

that it was recorded and translated by Castaño himself.



Until a copy of the Bicol original is found, it would

seem that what is left of the Ibalong – at least its

sixty stanzas – is only the text in Spanish.



Fragmentary that it is, but just like any epic, the

Ibalong portrays deeds in heroic proportions. Its three

culture heroes – Baltog, Handyong, and Mantong – share

glory in freeing Old Bicol of predatory and foraging

beasts, of the sarimao and other monsters.

From which had come the Dumagat

Who had inhabited Cotmong.



THE YOUNG MANTONG



52.

Fue este reino poderoso *(the Kingdom belong to

Mantong?

En los tiempos de Bantong, the line has double

meaning.)

Compañero inseparable

Del aguerrido Handiong.



Soon this kingdom grew powerful

To golden era of Young Mantong

Who was a faithful Prince companion

Of battle-wary Old Handyong.



53.

Le mando alli con mil hombres

Para a matar a Rabot,

Medio hombre y media fiera,

Hechicero embaucador.



Handyong gave him a thousand men

To kill Rabot to rid this land

Who was half-human and half-beast,

Magician, liar, that plagued the land.



54.

Todos lo que alli abordaron

Antes de esta expedicion

En piedras convertieron

El encanto de Rabot.



All the brave men, traveled in quest

Who dared to near its lair at least

Had turned at once to solid stones

By the sheer magic of the beast.



55.

Bantong supo que este mago* (mago-magician; magi-wizard

tantrik;

Era un grande dormilon, vivo-smart; wise-

sabio)

Haciendolo asi de dia (Bantong known-supo;

since-que;

Sin ninguna precaucion. This one**-este; magi

-mago) **pronoun



Being magi, Mantong had rightly guessed

That this Rabot observed heavily slept

Without precaution lay along

And that it did this all day long.



THE DEATH OF RABOT



56.

Alla llevo sus soldados

En un dia de aluvion,

Y antes que el despertara

De un tajo lo dividio.



One floody day, watched by his men,

Mantong did go, his job to do,

Before the waking time was due

One stoke cut Rabot into two.



57.

Asi y todo daba gritos

Con tan estentorea voz

Que lo oyeron de los mangles

De bognad y camagon.



From the bold shout warriors of Mantong

Rose a loud dying cries so taut

That rang throughout the mangrove swamps,

The bunga, kamagong, no doubt.



58.

Le llevaron a Libmanan

Do fue a verle el gran Handiong

Y ante su vista asustado

Por largo tiempo quedo.



The corpse was brought to Ligmanan

Where it was seen by great Handyong

Truly shocked him very terribly

That remained in him for long.



59.

Pues jamas el hubo visto

Un viviente tan atroz

De figura tan horrible

Ni de mas tremenda voz.



For surely he had never seen

A more atrocious living thing

Horrible form which caused a sting

And voice much louder than its ring.



60.

Aqui suspendio Cadugñung

Su primera narracion

Dejando para otro dia

De continuarla occasion.



And here Cadungung did stay

The first part of his ancient lay

To leave a continuation way

The occasion of another day.
WHAT IS ESP (Extended Sensory Power)
Posted by Khrishnanji on Feb 28, '07 4:52 AM for

everyone

What is ESP? R.J. Rhine, U.S., head of Parapsychology

since early 60's was the first to coined the term Extra

Sensory Perception but we don't agree to such statement,

in reality there is no such thing as sixth sense because

in the three dimensional world we only have five sensory

senses and five motor senses and these psychic ability

is only an extension of these senses (motor and

sensory).The more suited term for such ability is

Extended Sensory Power, with which, the later was all

those psychic powers which is dormant or latent in all

human being is only an extension of the five sensory

senses such as telepathy is only the extension of

speech, clairvoyance is the extension of your power of

seeing, while telekinesis is the extension of power of

touch all these abilities are only combination of the

two senses; sensory and motor.

TREATING FROM FAR AWAY


For centuries human endeavour has been directed towards

finding cures for various ailments that afflict human

body. Readers must be familiar with prominent systems of

medicines and therapies like allopathy, homeopathy,

ayurveda, naturopathy, etc. Of late many other systems

have come into vogue, as research makes progress we hear

of laser treatment, cobalt ray treatment for chronic and

dreaded diseases like cancer. But, in all these methods,

the doctor examines the patient and prescribes

treatment. Here is a case of a doctor, who treats

patients of far off places like England, Australia,

Nigeria sitting in his home at Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.

his method can be termed as "Thought Conduction". He

revives and energises the cells of his patients with new

life by simply sending waves of his mental energy. How

he is able to accomplish this, is a mystery.

He is not a doctor and has not studied in any medical

instituion. Yet, he has been able to cure some people of

incurable diseases by simply sending 'mental waves' and

praying for them. Dr. Mak Ting Sum, a Chinese living in

Kuala Lumpur, has done his doctorate in law in 1939 from

Temple Bar of seattle in America. Another diploma that

he has, is of American College of Minotheraphy. It was

only after years, when his fame spread far and wide,

that he passed the examinations conducted by European

Federation of Naturopaths (London) and International

Federation of Psychologists and Hypno-therapists.

He himself admits, "I have no degree in medicine, nor I

am well versed in hypnotism. I only attempt to cure

people by 'thought conduction'. I only take up cases in

which the doctors have utterly failed. I also do not

treat more than ten person at a time." You must have

been reading, now and then, of miraculous cures and may

have come across cases when the doctors have revived

dying patients and given them new lease of life. But, in

all treatments, it is necessary for the patient and

doctor to be face to face with each other. The present

story is about a miracle doctor, who provides treatment

to people whom he does not even see. Such doctor is a

75-year-old lean and thin Chinese who has been treating

his patients for last forty years by 'thought

conduction'. He treats them sitting thousands of miles

away. his patients are scatered in England, Australia,

Nigeria and many other places. Dr. Mak Ting Sum gets up

at midnight, washes himself and goes into another room.

There hesits behind an old table. Sitting there, he

treats his patients for two or three hours in an amazing

way.

The method of his treatment is called extended-sensory-

power from a distance. He is quite successful in his

method. Dr. Sum has to say this regarding his

extraordinary way of treatment: "My mind is absolutely

calm at that time. For 15 minutes. I repeat the name of

a patient and pray for his health and cure. Nothing else

enters my mind during these 15 minutes. This is my

method. After praying for 8 to 10 patients, I go to

sleep."

Dr. Sum believes that this state of deep meditation, his

'mental energy' activates the cells of the body o his

patient and fills him with new energy. The dead cells of

the patient are revived and he is cured. Hundreds of

patients have taken advantage of this unusual theraphy

of Dr. Sum and are grateful to him for their cure and

new life. A patient, Mrs. Lucy Brown of Derbyshire

(England), wrote to him, "You have given me comfort by

curing me of my ailments. I have never felt so healthy

in my life."

Dr. Sum started treating people through 'thought

conduction' in 1956. His first patient was a poor woman

of Australia. She had bone cancer. It was beyond her

means to undertake the expensive treatment, as such she

wrote to Dr. Sum requested him to treat her. Thus,

started the remarkable career of Dr. Sum. Within two

months, the patient's son, Raff Merar, was happy to

write to Dr. Sum: "The conditionof my mother has

improved a lot. She feels healthier. The early symptoms

of cancer have disappeared." He requested Dr. Sum to

continue his theraphy so that his mother fully recovers

from the dreaded diseases.

The success boosted his morale. He now had full

confidence in this 'faith theraphy'. He was successful

in curing many chronic cases. Another patient, Mrs.

Margaret Sa of Essen, Nigeria, Wrote, "Your thought

conduction theraphy has completely cured me of

rheumatism and nervous tensions. I now feell perfectly

healthy."

Dr. Sum never meets his patients personally, nor does he

accept any fees or gift. He believes that his unusual

powers are just miracle of the nature and as such this

god given gift should be used to serve the mankind. Dr.

Sum sends a 'Psycho-Ray Badge' to his patient before

undertaking his treatment. He informs him regarding the

time and day on which he would pray for him. The patient

has to keep this badge near him at that time and also

pray for his own health and cure. The 'thought energy'

of Dr. Sum activates him at that time and he gets better

in 2-4 sittings. Dr. Sum has given new life to hundreds

of patients who had lost all hopes. How that has been

accomplished shall remain a riddle to science.




ASWANG

(as[aso] + wang[wangis] )

Aswang as they change their image and turn into animal

form; they can transform into big dog, cat, pig and

others. We can say that the variety of aswang here in

Philippines are quite different compare to other

country. We have the aswang called:

Agta (Bisaya), Al - alya (Ilocos), Asbo (lakad - Bicol),

Malakat (Pampanga), Manananggal (Bicol), Mandurugo

(Bisaya) Motog (Bicol, Bisaya), Moya (Tagalog), Payayang

(Bicol), Silagan (Bicol), Wakwak (Bisaya), Wowog

(Bisaya)

Aswang Potion:

Egg shell of kapreng manok + coconut oil (1 eye coconut)

+ ipot of kapreng manok + menstrual blood + oracion =

oil of aswang

Orasyon ng Aswang (Bicol):

AGTA is not an aswang...its a being similar to the

Kapre. In Hiligaynon folklore, the agta is a small

version of the Kapre and in order to see it, you have to

bend over and look between your parted legs.

MANDURUGO is a vampire. it embraces its victim and its

tongue tapers to a needle point and pierces the victims

neck and sucks the blood.
PREMONITION

Ang power na mag-interpret sa mga galaw ng katawan niya,

tulad ng kaba, sumakit sa katawan, pintig ng katawan,

dilang nakagat, naisip niyang tao, nasamid, namalikmata

sa isang bagay o tao, nabasag na baso, kuwadro, crystal,

sa isang kakatwang pamamaraan, natumbang bagay, galaw ng

mga hayop, taktak ng butiki, mga tinig at tunog, mga

naririnig na pinag-uusapan.

Kapag ang Premonition ay laging nangyayari sa isang tao,

duon bumubukas ang isipan niya sa psychic ability. Dahil

sa pagkakapuon ng kanyang isipan sa antas na ito ng

kaisipan. Kapag ang mga pangyayaring nagaganap sa kanya

ay laging nagkakatutuo, lalong tumitibay ang paniniwala

niya na mayruon bahaging psychic power ang kaisipan ng

isang tao, na siyang daan para mag-venture siya sa mas

mataas na bahagi ng mahiwagang isipan ng tao na

tinatawag na Psychic Plane -- ang ESP. Ito ang unang

baytang ng tao sa pagiging psychic, kaya masasabing

hindi pa ito perfect.
