Both my parents grew up Roman Catholic in the Philippines. In the 1970s there, my father liked reading the paranormal genre, like books by Erich von Däniken and Tuesday Lobsang Rampa. So, he then even liked non-Xtian ideas. My parents, in the 1980s, converted to Protestant Baptists several years after landing in Canada. But my father continued reading the paranormal genre, like books by Deepak Chopra and James Redfield. He believed in meditation and rebirth or reincarnation. He recounted to me his afterlife scenario that his "mind" would migrate to a newborn baby on a faraway "planet," and there he would grow up in a new life. I showed to my parents my elaborate Buddhist temple, and my father was on the verge of reading literature from there. My father passed away in 2013.
My father's last read book, as he passed away in 2013, was Living Your Past Lives: The Psychology of Past-Life Regression, by Karl Schlotterbeck. Some of my father's favourite foods were baked salmon with mayonnaise, jellyfish, kaldereta, and mochi filled with bean paste.
La lasta legita libro de mia patro, kiam li forpasis en 2013, estis Vivi Viajn Pasintajn Vivojn: La Psikologio de Pasinta-viva Regreso, de Karl Schlotterbeck. Kelkaj el la plej ŝatataj manĝaĵoj de mia patro estis bakita salmo kun majonezo, meduzo, filipina bovaĵa stufaĵo, kaj moĉio plenigita per fabpasto.
Ang huling aklat na nabasa ng aking tatay, nang pumanaw siya noong 2013, ay Ang Pamumuhay sa Iyong mga Nakaraang Buhay: Ang Sikolohiya ng Pagbabalik ng Nakaraang Buhay, ni Karl Schlotterbeck. Ilan sa mga paboritong pagkain ng tatay ko ay ang inihurnong salmong may mayo, dikya, kaldereta, at pinalamanang mochi.
