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? Typically we need to become better focused about things we choose to have in our lives. This concerns all things, from everyday practical matters to dealing with distressing emotions. The problem is to achieve a clear mind and then to find the solutions to problems. The 7 Words System offers a simple instinctive procedure that allows us to get a greatly improved awareness of what precisely we are trying to find. This starts with No. In the beginning we have to define faithfully what it is that actually we don't 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 open up to new ways to see everything if we are to develop our scope of answers to our predicaments and problems. You agree? To get something different we will need to draw out our prospect of vision and look where we have not previously looked before. Fresh thoughts, new friends, new places and new things are all aspects of giving awareness to something we have not previously experienced. This necessitates that we substitute old for new, that we have something to offer in reasonable return for what are trying 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 existing choices, some are more desirable than others and of course we want them to have a higher meaning, 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, slip into ungratefulness and are likely to assume what should not be assumed.It's more than merely politeness to reveal our appreciation for things we value; it has a major effect in helping us to realize our goals. In some unconscious way, we are drawn to what we express gratitude for, and yet it's equally true to say that we can to draw them to us too. We improve our magnetism when we say Thanks and therefore, whenever we do this, we smoothly bring things 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 concerns a progression that has four phases. They are: realization, decision, completion and moving on. Goodbye is being said to a particular stage of development, which is to be seen simply as out-and-out exclusion of a viable path of action that we had been stepping towards and in future will not go in for. It is a turning point in our selection of would-be futures.Goodbye is different from No in that 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. Sincere decisions cut the past away completely and that incisiveness establishes an open door that otherwise does not come to exist.

Vision Quest. The seeker needs to find answers to deep issues of concern that expand power and wisdom. The future develops according to the things considered normal of what has gone before unless we take control of it and shape it to our desire. To do this compels us to have a vision of how we want it to be; this vision has to be very clear, particular and positive converted into intention. They differ don't they - vision and intention? The first is rather unreal and the second is much more motivated and conscious. For a vision to become real there must be help. Nothing can be achieved without acquiring the benefit of others - this takes expertise, perhaps persuasion, even motivation. It is not always obligatory to offer 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 damage done because we've been inattentive or oblivious to the needs or wants of another. The best plan is to make sure we avoid the need to say it by being considerate beforehand. Why? Well it's because anyone we upset could easily be inclined to act against us and lower our likelihood of success, so it is simply more judicious to take into account others as well as ourselves. It is all to do with being responsible, having a degree of feelings towards anyone we've upset and making amends when we've slipped up. Then and only then will it ever be possible to avoid or repair bitterness and release the unending unpleasantness that otherwise would increase and rankle.

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 last stage of our 7 Words procedure is to do with acceptance; there are instances when we simply have to endure what we cannot change. The word is Yes. It would be nice wouldn't it if we were able to make the world exactly the way we envision it - but in reality we can't. We always need to withstand what comes, and to take what is not exactly what we asked for. The best knack is to trust that everything in the long run turns around to our advantage, that the modifications to our plans are all improvements when comprehended in the perspective of the longer term. Unquestionably it's not easy to see it when we are still close and attached to our desires of course not! Nevertheless wait a bit and you may well see that the serendipitous occurrences, the surprises and disenchantments are actually the best bits veiled as misfortune.
