The Valour of ‘Sinners’
Won’t it surprise us that the journey towards truth sometimes requires the intervention of sinners to unblock the walls often dreaded by saints? For instance, Christ had to be killed by sinners for all men to be saved. It is not the act per se that we should perceive as bad but the hardness of heart of the people who perform such acts. It is necessary that Christ dies anyway, and someone had to be bold enough to do the killing, otherwise we all remain in our captivity, as simple as that.
In our present journey to the Truth, I can perceive of some revolutions already taking place, such boldness that has hitherto ever been embarked upon, (like the naked girls in Charring Cross), that is indeed the liberty brought us by Christ, to restore us back from the Adamic sins and bring us to the freedom experienced at the beginning, for we were told, prior to the fall, Adam and Eve were naked but were not ashamed, such valour exercised by the naked girls of Charring Cross!
We Christians have been too cowardly; we are too scared to get hurt through the so called negative morality termed sin. If we are too scared to get to that stage as yet, we should at least realise our weakness, and praise the audacity of CC girls for having already reached a stage that perhaps would still take Christians ages to reach, for that is our destination: the simplicity of being naked and not being ashamed! We should be humble to acknowledge that we still lack much of what Truth is, full salvation comes only by complete liberation. We are still unclean; the true heroes are the CC girls.
Or when I see the trend towards women emancipation, I can perceive the reversal of God’s curse on the woman of Genesis, which is precisely what Christ has come to do : to deliver us from the curse of the law, for God cursed Eve: ‘and your desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee’. Now we talk about the right of women, and gender equality! Western ladies (especially the learned and the career ones) don’t really care whether they are married or not, or whether they have kids or not.
Or when I see the passion with which people bring to the workplace, the professionalism and the work life balance, I see, work has now become something of a hobby, people work for the joy of working, where then do we place the adamic curse which says that ‘curseth be the ground for man’s sake, and in sorrow shall he eat of it all the days of his life’?
So where do we place God? The scandal of all these is that God has been removed out of the picture! Like the Jews and Romans who did us a holy service of killing Jesus (and which is being re-enacted every day at every Masses), There is a giant leap towards the Truth being initiated by the westerners, they show us God but they themselves don’t realise it ! Like St Paul explaining to the Greek the logic behind the Unknown God, I see God in the west, but westerners are blind about the God they explicitly show, something we Christians are still as yet so cowardly to imitate, and we condemn! The real problem is not that of sin, but that of apostasy, the lack of faith, the general removal of God from the picture on the part of the west and that of moral condemnation on the part of Christians!
I see people work for the joy of working, but often at the cost of serving God, yet all these are necessary towards the journey to the Truth. I agree, for instance, like the naked girls of CC, who wanted to attract men by their nakedness we can say much of the acts is done with evil intentions, but who are we to presume, can we really judge? can we say that all these girls are really out to lay down with men , or does it have to do with our own lustful desires which we are as yet not ready to face?
And what about the professional women who ‘have no regard again for the marriage institution and family value’ and would rather be absorbed in their professions than loose their hard earned career in the guise of raising a family? I quite agree, there is quite a mixture of weeds and tares in all these and both Christians and Westerners have both an admixture of guilt in this. But that shouldn’t even discourage us because Christ promised the two to grow together anyway both weeds and tares), what exasperates me is one party accusing the other of being weeds and they being tare.
I really like to praise the valour of the west but I am distressed about the exodus of the neglect of God, you see, these people I explained above will save a lot of people through enlightenment, but I am afraid that they are going to loose themselves! This is the big sin; the actual sin is putting God out of the scope of human existence. Yet I am consoled in the fact that this is all part of God’s plan towards the journey to the Truth. As Christ was killed, I feel this blankness and emptiness of God in the west is a whole grand plan of bringing the whole world to a vivid experience towards Truth, just like the Jews did with Christ and the gentiles received enlightenment, this blankness I feel is necessary towards the remaining part of the word to attain to this justice, development and peace that I call Truth.
Wise Christians should start learning a great deal from the virtues accompanying these perceived vices. We keep celebrating Mass up till now and we don’t feel at all guilty about it. What if the Jews didn’t do it for us? Now we have a real act that sustains the universe.
Whodunit? Someone has got to ‘bell the cat’, and that is precisely what the ‘worldly’ are doing for us towards attainment of Truth, what courage, what valour on their part! They are our real rescuers, the only grouse I have with them is that they should not do so at their own peril. They should manage to see God in all these. Romans and Jews did it first, the West is re-enacting the act for our salvation. O happy fault, o necessary sin of Adam!
ARC (awareness, relationship, career)
ARC, because we are passionate about living!
This is an avenue to impact on lives, solely by living.
ARC is a group where people express their views, practice their beliefs, where deep and meaningful relationships are built and love is fostered, where guilt and pangs are freely expressed and solved, where constructive ambitions are encouraged, where knowledge and skills are promoted, where excellence in all phases of life are inspired.
ARC is all about playing, reading, studying, acting, catching fun, partying, competing, relating, being passionate and being creative. ARC is about putting a bit of life into the world and dropping much of its hypocrisy.

The Potency of Confession !
I pray you not to remove sin from the annals of suffering. The true glory of the church are the penitents; those around the confessionals, no matter the gravity of sins, these are the mighty militants who crumble the kingdom of Satan. St Augustine says, he who sings prays twice, I make bold to say, he who confesses his sin practices virtue twice. Forget the sin, for the sorrow the sin inspires is enough virtue, and the act of confessing confuses the devil and drives him afar, more potently than when one practices virtue. True exorcism is that which takes place from a humble heart in the confessional, or better still, the simplicity and humility of a soul who is not ‘abashed’ and glories in his infirmities. And yet this lovely sacrament is dying in Christendom

Born of The Spirit...
And Christ said: the wind blows, but we know not where it goes Jn 3: 16 ff. Consider osmosis and diffusion, so is the kingdom of God. For each act of kindness, for each charitable thought or act, for every suffering borne and for each gesture of peace, we ooze out the gas of the spirit which is the kingdom of God, it is spiritual, like the wind, we cannot get the result physically, not much.

The New good news! (The Society of Sinners)
This is the good news: He sets us absolutely free!Live your life, He takes responsibility for all our acts.This is absolutely difficult to fathom, my whole reason tells me such silly initiative is unreasonable,that He must want something back. Believe me, He wants nothing back, there is no such thing as the 'karma' that frightens us.He doesnt need anything in return, the pedestal and foundation of this is if you can believe that He needs no return, He takes responsibility, He doesn't get upset, He doesnt get angry, i make grievious mistakes and He takes the responsibility for me,no cost, forget the forced social laws which lays emphasis on causes and effects.Believe me, we take no initiative, He takes all, if you dont believe me, good luck, continue with your piety.What is very necessary is to start off a sinner, to desire to remain a sinner for life, and to accept absolutely everything from Him.Do me a favour: dont be holy, what God loves in us is our sins, what i need to do is simple, think about Him,be concerned about humanity and be passionate about creation, if i fall short no qualms, He keeps loving me...I am a sinner and i am proud to be just that, i have a passion for excellence, alright,but i have always been found wanting, does that upset me? no.Because i know He takes all responsibilities.Be ready for a revolution!True life lies in being a sinner, and i am just happy to be one, and i hope to be more and more sinful, yet i hope to keep up this passion for excellence:humanity, creativity,innovation,charity,being green, caring. loving, i hope to be weird for living!If you know just what it means to be a sinner(like me)join me on board

On awareness, relationship , career and the environment
Every act, good or bad, leaves an effect, positive or negative, on us, on our neighbour, on our environment (quote me). Every act of goodness has an infinite merit and every act 'badness' is false, and would seize one day. Goodness lasts, it is the truth! Now the sole goodness is Christ and the summary of goodness is His death on the cross (Greater love hath no man…) which is made present everyday at Mass! Now it is through this sole goodness that brings all creation- man or beast or plant- into oneness, into unity (and when I am lifted on high, I will draw all things to myself). On this basis, it is said ‘send forth thy spirit and they shall be created, and you shall renew the face of the earth’. It is His Spirit, through the work of Calvary that renews. Any goodness and act of sacrifice (which finds its summary in Mass anyway) has a consequential effect, upon our awareness (depending on faith) upon our neighbour and our good relationship (depending on love), and on our environment which is the bulk of our career, or the idea we have to make the world a better place. As ‘charity begins at home’ has an impact on relationship, ‘cleanliness is next to Godliness’ has an impact on the environment. These are all spiritual works that is what I am trying to say, the bulk of our existence depends on our level of spiritual growth. Most careers are aimed at fostering the growth of the environment, and we cannot achieve success without first deepening our spiritual lives and improving our human relationships. I am an Engineer by profession; I have seen I can not be fulfilled solely with physical sciences (i.e. dealing solely on environment). For long I delved into social sciences too (dealing with people and relationships), yet I have seen that the starting point has to do with behavioural sciences (my personal awareness). If I can master this, I can hope to really impact the world on other aspects. I’ve seen, the bulk of our existence is this: Our Awareness, Relationship and Career!
