Your mantra for the week:

I am not a sinner, I am a winner.

In 1999, Pope John Paul II (now Saint John Paul) announced that we must forget the flames of fire and the devils with pitchforks, and that heaven was not up in the clouds and hell was not a physical place either.

Fifteen years later, this issue has not been clarified by the Philippine Church. It is probably waiting for somebody to explain why the then Pope would give such an edict.

However, he explained further that hell is real but not inflicted by God, but rather something sinners brought unto themselves.

Recall that sin is an old archery term which meant missing-the-mark. It implies that sinners are not bad people, but persons whose consciousness has not been able to differentiate between good and evil.

Notice that if you add the letter d to evil, it would spell the word devil. The devil has been defined as an evil spirit lurking around, constantly tempting us to commit a negative act.

But in truth, the devil is simply the spirit of evil that is a potential within each one of us. It becomes a problem when the unenlightened gives in to this potential many times. They are bedeviled.

The metaphysical flames that we have been threatened with since childhood are anger, ill-will and resentment. The pitchforks are the diseases that follow the flames; they hurt like forks embedded in our physical body.

In other words, it is Consciousness that determines whether we experience the Kingdom of Heaven that is at hand or hellfire that is of our own making Choose ye today, God or mammon.

Aging may also come with new and different challenges, like the loss of independence or a debilitating illness. Research suggests that spirituality can help. At a recent meeting for the Gerontological Society of America (GSA), KALWs Rachel Dornhelm spoke with Lydia K. Manning, associate professor of Gerontology at Concordia University in Chicago, about spirituality and aging in older adults. Dornhelm produced this interview through a Journalism Fellowship from New America Media and GSA, supported by AARP.

RACHEL DORNHELM: How did you get interested in the subject of aging?

LYDIA MANNING: I had an experience when I was young. I was very close to my grandmother who ended up in a nursing home when I was seven. So from the ages of seven to about 14 or 15, I spent a lot of time visiting with her. As a result I had many friends who were actually residents in the nursing home. I realized early on that I had a connection, interest, and a fondness for being around and working with older adults.

DORNHELM: So what was your dissertation topic and what are you researching now?

MANNING: For my dissertation topic I interviewed women in late, late life. All of the participants were over 85 years old. I was very interested in their spiritual experiences and how that factored into late, late life and approaching death. How they were making meaning as they approached their end of life? From that, I realized there was something happening with spirituality and resilience. The women I talked to described having the ability to withstand profound hardship and adversity, particularly in late, late life. In many ways their spirituality was a buffer and a tool.

DORNHELM: Were these people who always self-identified as spiritual?

MANNING: The women I talked to for my dissertation were all 85 and over, and for most of them spirituality reflected some kind of continuous narrative in their lives.

DORNHELM: Im curious how you define spirituality in your work.

MANNING: With the women I interviewed, I came to the table with a broad definition rooted in the [social-science] literature. It was:

1. Intense awareness of the present;
