You gotta read this!

My friend just sent me this website, thinking about my religious values. It is a must read for any follower of navelism. Just listen to this:
"Omphalos also means "knob" or "hub". The Greeks erected a holy stone, or fetish stone, in the Temple of Apollo at Delphi (on the slopes of Mount Parnassus near the Gulf of Corinth). They called this rounded conical stone the Omphalos (or Navel), as they thought that it marked the exact centre of their universe."
And this!:
"The tallest mountain in Bali is Gunung Agung. One Balinese myth says that their deities had mountains as their thrones, and that the highest mountain of all was Gunung Agung. The Balinese call this mountain the "Navel of the World".
The original inhabitants of Easter Island called it "Rapa Nui" ("Great Rapa") or "Te Pito te Henua" ("Navel of the World")."

Maganda Gabi
High-Chief Priestess and Spiritual Leader of Navelism 

the navelist's full title.

my full navelist title is as follows:

Pankaalaka-Navelist, disciple of Maganda Gabi the bellybutton preistess, keeper of Pusod Diwata.

Let's break this down.

Pankaalaka
all holy words of navelism are in tagalog. names are no exception. the way to decide on a navelist name (something which can only be done after a navelism, or holy conversion.) is to find the meaning of your original name, and then translate it into tagalog, the holy language. my name means "god heard", so i translated "god heard" into tagalog and got Pankaalaka.

-Navelist
this always goes after the name in a navelist's full title.

disciple of Maganda Gabi the bellybutton priestess
at present, nearly all navelists are disciples, or followers, of Maganda Gabi. a person would only not be a disciple of Maganda Gabi if they were not a holy person but only a casual follower, or if they followed the teachings of another navelist sage. at present there are no other navelist sages.

keeper of Pusod Diwata.
everyone is the "keeper of" their bellybutton, even non-navelists. all navelists must name their bellybuttons. bellybutton names must start with "Pusod", meaning navel. the next word is a tagalog name. the name i have chosen means goddess.

if there are any questions, please ask them in the comments section.

the four parts principle

the four parts principle is as follows:
torsos have four sections, or bahagis. the bahagis are separated by creases that form from bending down. in order of top to bottom, the four bahagis are:

1. asa, or the chest. this bahagi represents naivety, hopefulness, raw emotion, and love.

2. kaisipan, or the upper-middle bahagi. this section represents creative intellect--the part of us that learns and discovers.

3. matigas, the lower-middle bahagi. this section represents the mundane consciousness, that is to say, the nonspiritual and uncreative self which we use to go through everyday life.

4. banal na, or the belly. this bahagi, of course, represents the spiritual and holy. it is the sacred resting place of the pusod, or bellybutton.

-Pankaalaka

Padro some more

Padro (the sombie teddy bear) is the navelist's mascot. you heard of him in the post before, and now, (finally!) is his picture.

Padro's Bellybutton

There is a teddy bear. His name is Padro. He is a zombie teddy bear. And he relates to this blog because he is now an iconic image - he was given a holy bellybutton by the High Priestess herself, and is thus a blessed creature of the 2D world. He was created by the High Priestess and myself, in a collaboration of art. He was originally a C3 on a cardboard box but now he is a living navelist teddy bear.If Maganda Gabi would like to include more about Padro maybe a picture if possible, I invite her too, as well as outside comments.

Bellybutton drumming

If you were looking for ways to spend time with your bellybutton, consider musical entertainment. Bellybuttons, like other holy existences, love music. You could drum your fingers on your bellybutton and listen to the lovely different sounds you make together. Bellybutton smile! Or, you might want to HUM to your lovely bellybutton. (If you are not the rhythmic type). Hum any old tune or happiness, or sadness if needed, so your music can portray emotion for you and your bellybutton to share. Bellybuttons of course already know how you're feeling, but to communicate it is an act of love and attention.

Another thought we would like to share with you, is the worshiping of the bellybutton in media. All around the world and in all sorts of forms of art from poetry to music to pictures, the bellybutton is projected into our lives. For example, there is a one sweet little haiku that we would like to share with you:

A discovery!

On my frog's smooth green belly

there sits no button. 

- Yaku

That is somebody's outlook on someone's sacred bellybutton, or a frog's lack thereof. Now stop for a moment. Isn't that sad? Poor creatures of the earth, left to live life without bellybuttons. Maybe they have offended Punang. So they have no bellybutton. Remember to always be thankful for your bellybutton, and to always be good in your heart and bellybutton. May your bellybutton be happy.

-Maganda Gabi and Makalakalak
