Filipino Folk material can be seen as 7 basic life principles: the 7 Words. Identity is first, where the central story can be put most simply as: who am I? By and large most of us need to become a lot clearer about things we choose to have in our lives. This is true for everything, from what is useful to dealing with distressing emotions. The mystery seems to be to do with how to get a clear mind and then to find the solutions to problems. The 7 Words System offers a easy innate technique that permits us to get a much better feeling of what precisely we are trying to find. This starts with No. We need firstly to describe faithfully what we do not want what is not useful, before we can know what we do want.

Second, the quest for knowledge, reaching out beyond the horizons of habit to meet new people, new ideas and new ways to see the world. The second stage links with the word Hello. We will certainly need to make ourselves open to new possibilities if we expect to open out our choice of keys to questions arising. Is that reasonably logical? To get something fresh we will need to enlarge our sphere of awareness and look where we have not formerly looked up until now. New dreams, new friends, new places and new things are all characteristic of giving consideration to something we have not formerly gone through. This necessitates that we trade old for new, that we have something to offer in fair return for what we want to acquire.

Then love. Romantic love between woman and man is favourite, yet the importance of family, village, nation and humanity itself also shows acts of kindness. Between all open opportunities, some are more appealing than others and we feel we want to treat them as having a greater importance, because we appreciate them more. This is explained by the primary word Thanks. Over and over again, we forget the worth of what we have, fall into ingratitude and are likely to presume things will always be the way they have been before.It's more than just politeness to show our appreciation for things we esteem; it has a significant effect in helping us to succeed in attaining our aims. Unconsciously, we are drawn to what we communicate appreciation for, and yet it's equally accurate to say that we will be able to attract them to us too. We develop charisma when we say Thanks and therefore, whenever we do this, we effortlessly bring things to come to us.

The Hero’s quest. The brave young man goes forward to take on challenges, either external or internal. The defeating of evil is a metaphor for the battle of light and darkness within one’s own heart. Goodbye is the fourth of the 7 primary words and relates to a progression that has four stages. They are: realization, decision, completion and moving on. What we are saying goodbye to a particular stage of change, and therefore is distinguished in basic terms as total exclusion of a viable path of action that previously we had been stepping towards and in future will not follow. It is a turning point in our pick of potential outcomes.Goodbye is different from No because it is clear that we have had some kind of involved interaction already, which now needs to end compared to No's rebuttal in the first place. Proper decisions cut the past away completely and that penetration gives rise to an opening of a doorway that otherwise does not appear.

Vision Quest. The seeker needs to find answers to deep issues of concern that expand power and wisdom. The future opens out according to the things considered normal of what has gone before unless we take control of it and shape it to our needs. To do this requires us to have a vision of how we want it to be; this vision has to be very clear, specific and positive converted into intention. They differ don't they - vision and intention? The first is a bit dreamlike and the second is much more directed and deliberate. For a dream to become real there must be support. . Nothing can be completed without securing the aid of other people - this takes skillfulness, maybe arguments, even inspiration. It is not always compulsory to proffer something such as money or money's worth.

Another theme that appears in song, myth and epic is redemption. Each of us, yearns to be released from the pain of guilt and shame, and purified through atonement. Sorry, the sixth word, is best seen as repairing harm done if we've been uncaring or unmindful to the circumstances of another. The best plan is to make sure we preclude the need to say it by being thoughtful earlier. Why? Well it's because anyone we upset may well act against us and reduce our probability of achievement of our goals, so it is obviously more prudent to think of others as well as ourselves. It is all to do with being responsible, having a degree of feelings for anyone we've upset and making penance when we've got it wrong. Only then is it possible to avoid or repair bitterness and let go of the everlasting unpleasantness that otherwise would intensify and worsen.

The final journey is the quest for the absolute. This can take the form of spiritual ascendancy, seclusion, surrender and death, a final acknowledgement of the unity of all life. The concluding point of our 7 Words structure relates with acceptance; there are times when we simply have to admit what we cannot change. The word is Yes. It would be delightful wouldn't it if we were able to make the world exactly the way we envision it - but in actual fact we can't. We always need to tolerate what comes, and to take what is not exactly what we asked for.The best thing is to place reliance on the fact that everything in due course turns around to our advantage, that the modifications to our plans are all improvements when comprehended in the perspective of the longer term. Definitely it's not easy to see it when we are still close and attached to our desires of course not! However wait a bit and you may well see that the surprising incidents, the surprises and failures are actually the best bits veiled as misfortune.
