THE PSYCHOLOGY OF TYRANNICAL LEADERS

"TRUE LEADERS PLACE THE NEEDS OF OTHERS ABOVE THEIR OWN," goes the framed quotation I have hanging in my home. True leaders find a certain call to be of service to the church and civic community, to the government or to a corporate entity and give out their best in rendering this service keeping in mind the good of the people affected by his decisions. And a tyrannical leader is just the opposite. Leadership for them is not a call but a chance for them to exercise power over others,to realize a demented dream like the perfect race that Hitler dreamed of for the Germans in his time, resulting to the mass murder of Jews; or like the fictitious character Joker, in the comic series Batman. Joker's insane dream is to control the world through scientific inventions. Well, there are those around us in the church, in the community or the neighborhood, like in the religious organizations or homeowners association. Tyrannical leaders are defined as those whose type of leadership have a tendency to oppress others to get what they want, which is simply to gain control of the group. Observing these people, one can take notice that they tend to discredit or destroy the reputation of present or potential leaders, whom they see as potential rivals for a place among the officers of the organization they are vying for, either for themselves, or for a friend whom they can control. They act as the head of a "stirring committee" to stir the ire of those who are powerful in the community against these "rivals" Well these are all life experiences. I am trained in the sciences, not in psychology but have a perfect score in a perception test that I took while applying for a job in a multinational company. Well, I got the job but did not hold on to it for long. I was too perceptive I guess. by carmen herrera uy, december 8, 2013

DNA NOT ENOUGH TO TEST DIVINITY IN THE HOST

"Eternal Father, I offer you the body and blood, soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ..." goes our prayers to the Divine Mercy. Jesus appeared to Sister Faustina and instructed her to have a painting of Him be commisioned, standing, fully clothed in white, barefooted, with two rays of light emanating from the heart side of His chest, red and white rays extending to His sides, to correspond to the blood and water from the heart of Christ that surged, when he ws pierced with a lance at the cross. As this prayer came to mind, my question whether DNA test done on the transubstantiated host can prove our claim as Catholics, of the miracle of the Host becoming the real body and blood of Christ, became somewhat answered. As I have read in a blog, after I posted the question in my previous article, body, blood and divinity of Jesus is in the transubstantiated host. The Host contains physical and metaphysical attributes, body and blood, and divinity,correspondingly. As of now, I can only reason out that these three; body, blood, and divinity are united as one in the Transubstanciated Host, like the Trinity, with three different persons, God the Father, God the Son (Jesus) and God the Holy Spirit..each with it's own attribute but united as one God. Only the physical attributes of the transubstantiated Host can be tested by DNA, not the divinity...In God's time maybe he will reveal to us the mystery behind the miracle of Transubstantiation in the Holy Eucharist. by carmen herrera uy, november 27, 2013

DNA TEST TO SUPPORT TRANSUBSTANTIATION

Transubstantiation is a miracle that happens everytime the host is transubstantiated or changed into the body and blood of Jesus Christ during concecration as celebrated by a priest in every mass around the world. The Host though, remains to have the appearance and taste of bread, but in reality, miraculously changed into the body and blood of Christ. In the last supper with His apostles, as He broke the bread, Jesus said, "This is my body which will be given up for you.... do this in memory of me," that resulted to the miracle of Transubstantiation, passing it on to every order of every mass. Recent scientific researches on the Shroud of Turin, or the cloth by which Jesus was wrapped when buried, claimed about the truth of Christ's great suffering before He died on the cross, dating the occurence to the time that the Christians claim. Could it be possible that the small scraps of Jesus's remains in the Shroud like stains of blood be compared with the Transubstantiated Host in terms of DNA comparison, if this is not a form of desecration? Then, with a positive result, we can truly say, that "He comes again through the Host," with His healing power, as we partake of His body and blood worthily during communion... SO HELP US GOD WITH YOUR GRACE AS WE SEARCH FOR YOUR TRUTH... by carmen herrera uy, november 25, 2013

MASS DISTRIBUTION BELOW THE EARTH

As a Physics Major, I was given the opporunity to come across the laws of physics that could have a bearing on the destruction of some parts in the Visayan Islands of the Philippines by this typhoon Yolanda. I theorized that this could be due to the "rape" of mother nature by careless and rampant harvesting of minerals like oil. Earth rotates counterclockwise, for our night and day, and revolves around the sun to make a year for it's complete revolution, responsible for the different seasons around the world. And what makes the earth to spin and revolve around the sun undisturbed, continously? ANGULAR MOMENTUM, which is defined as an amount of rotation an object has, taking into account its mass and shape, and the law of inertia states that a body at rest or in motion continous to do so unless disturbed by an outside force. Einstein's law of relativity stated in an equation that an object is capable of giving energy, the measure of which is defined in his equation E=MxCsquared or energy that can be derived is its mass multiplied by the speed of light raised to the second power. So as nature distributes the Earth's elements within it, the natural order of the Universe, leads on to Earth's friendly existense. As I believe, the measure of the mass of an object includes the distribution of trillions and trillions of particles inside the object, each particle giving rise to different elements within, with different properties, resulting to an uneven distribution of densities within the mass, like that of the Earth. Oil was formed below the earth's surface as an act of nature on decaying organic materials after millions and millions of years, as its means of "instinct" of self preservation. With wanton harvesting of oil and other minerals, we are disturbing Earth's "law of self-preservation"...The "right amount" of distribution of these minerals as established by the law of nature could be destroyed by irresponsible digging for minerals. So, let all nations unite to regulate "harvesting" these minerals, responsibly...For I believe too, that man was created by God, with an intelligence enough to work with nature to release these minerals accumulating inside the earth that may cause it to expand uncontrollably and may have an effect on it's rotation and revolution around the sun, like global warming, and volcanic erruptions. We spend so much for space exploration. Why don't we leave enough resources for Earth preservation? by carmen herrera uy, november 23, 2013

THE EARTH'S GRAVITY

Why does any free-falling object pulled to the Earth's surface? So many complicated theories are presented in the net, mostly due to magnetic forces, some of which are backed by mathematical equations, but none seems to be sensible. Well, could the pulling of an object without support to the center be likened to a centrifuge that we encountered in our chemistry class? Elements, liquid and solid, are placed in a test tube in an experiment, and the test tube are made to spin clamped to the centrifuge to gather the formed particles to the bottom of the tube. The centripetal force caused by this rotation willed the particles to settle towards the center of the centrifuge,being more denser than the liquid in the solution causing it to gather at the bottom of the test tube. I am not really very sure that gravity is caused by both spinning and revolving of the earth. But earth continues to spin and revolve, due to angular momentum and the inertia of motion. The net says that we continue to be in the gravitational field of the Earth within about 10 times its radius. Just like David's stone tied in a string and spun around, letting it go to hit the target's eye, it escapes the centripetal force, to let it go free-willing, as we have in space travel. by carmen herrera uy, november 23, 2013
