As a free-religionist, who also comes from the Filipino tradition, the religious expressions of my ancestors are still valuable to me because they remind me of this living, dynamic, creative impulse in all humans to name what is sacred. It also reminds me, of course, of "the great life of free and selfless creative evolution" that makes Filipino religious expressions possible.

With this jiyū shūkyō lens, how could I approach a study of Filipino spirituality?

• Engage in deep research or show deep interest in the growing scholarship in this area.
• Perhaps, even join the scholarship.
• Include remnants of Filipino spirituality in my tabernacle.
• Look for ways I could give new expression for these old practices.
• Write more about them, particularly through comparing or connecting them with other things in my path like jiyū shūkyō, Jōdo Shinshū, Christianity, etc.

Possible projects

• Compile sources of Filipino spirituality.
• Translate them to English.
