Life Sends Us All Kinds Of Trials - A Quotation by Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Life sends us all kinds of trials. But these trials have beneficial effects for some and harmful effects for others. Why? Why do some people succumb or become malicious whilst others strengthen their will-power, their love and their light? For all trials to be beneficial it is not enough to be sturdy and headstrong; thought and good sense need to have their say. The first thing a disciple must do when faced with a trial is to accept it by saying that, since he is the son of God, he has within him the means to overcome it. He must then find these means, which may be of all kinds. But the first thing to do is to accept the trial, and not to say: 'How can this be? Why is this happening to me?' It is happening to you and from it you must try to extract the elements that are most useful to your evolution. This is why you must love trials. But to love them is not to go and look for them stupidly. They will come your way without your having to look for them. You must love trials simply because loving them is the best way to confront them. Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov was a Bulgarian philosopher, pedagogue, mystic, and esotericist. A leading 20th-century teacher of Western Esotericism in Europe, he was a disciple of Peter Deunov, the founder of the Universal White Brotherhood.

Listen and ponder

We can't fight evils with swords

End them with calm love

Is It A Happy or Unhappy Event? A Quotation by Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Happy or unhappy events - wait before deciding It is always difficult to decide what is good and what is not. Because something bad or wrong is not 'evil', and something good or right is not 'the good'. There are often events that at first seem catastrophic but turn out to be positive. And unfortunately, the opposite is also true: apparently happy events are transformed into catastrophes because people have neither the wisdom nor the mastery necessary to take advantage of these favorable situations. When events occur, we cannot know whether with time, they will turn out to be beneficial or harmful to ourselves and to others. So when you suffer a setback or hardship, make the habit of telling yourself that down the line, something good might be waiting for you. Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov was a Bulgarian philosopher, pedagogue, mystic, and esotericist. A leading 20th-century teacher of Western Esotericism in Europe, he was a disciple of Peter Deunov, the founder of the Universal White Brotherhood.

False Accusations - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins

False accusations

Tools of evil to destroy

The goodness in us

© 2025  M.N. Hopkins

Note:  I wrote this in the haiku style of poetry yesterday and published it for the first time today on the 4th of April, 2025. I might have said, to destroy the expression of goodness in us of what is best within our humanity.  The weak, pathetic and broken among us are chosen and manipulated by evil in its effort to stop and/or destroy the propagation of all that is good in our humanity.

April 1, 2025 Proclaimed A Day Of Repentance in the United States of America

April Fools

Although, it has been done before in the early days of the Republic.  See the below text.

March 23, 1798: Proclamation of Day of Fasting, Humiliation and Prayer

Transcript:

As the safety and prosperity of nations ultimately and essentially depend on the protection and the blessing of Almighty God, and the national acknowledgment of this truth is not only an indispensable duty which the people owe to Him, but a duty whose natural influence is favorable to the promotion of that morality and piety without which social happiness can not exist nor the blessings of a free government be enjoyed; and as this duty, at all times incumbent, is so especially in seasons of difficulty or of danger, when existing or threatening calamities, the just judgments of God against prevalent iniquity, are a loud call to repentance and reformation; and as the United States of America are at present placed in a hazardous and afflictive situation by the unfriendly disposition, conduct, and demands of a foreign power, evinced by repeated refusals to receive our messengers of reconciliation and peace, by depredation on our commerce, and the infliction of injuries on very many of our fellow-citizens while engaged in their lawful business on the seas--under these considerations it has appeared to me that the duty of imploring the mercy and benediction of Heaven on our country demands at this time a special attention from its inhabitants.

I have therefore thought fit to recommend, and I do hereby recommend, that Wednesday, the 9th day of May next, be observed throughout the United States as a day of solemn humiliation, fasting, and prayer; that the citizens of these States, abstaining on that day from their customary worldly occupations, offer their devout addresses to the Father of Mercies agreeably to those forms or methods which they have severally adopted as the most suitable and becoming; that all religious congregations do, with the deepest humility, acknowledge before God the manifold sins and transgressions with which we are justly chargeable as individuals and as a nation, beseeching Him at the same time, of His infinite grace, through the Redeemer of the World, freely to remit all our offenses, and to incline us by His Holy Spirit to that sincere repentance and reformation which may afford us reason to hope for his inestimable favor and heavenly benediction; that it be made the subject of particular and earnest supplication that our country may be protected from all the dangers which threaten it; that our civil and religious privileges may be preserved inviolate and perpetuated to the latest generations; that our public councils and magistrates may be especially enlightened and directed at this critical period; that the American people may be united in those bonds of amity and mutual confidence and inspired with that vigor and fortitude by which they have in times past been so highly distinguished and by which they have obtained such invaluable advantages; that the health of the inhabitants of our land may be preserved, and their agriculture, commerce, fisheries, arts, and manufactures be blessed and prospered; that the principles of genuine piety and sound morality may influence the minds and govern the lives of every description of our citizens, and that the blessings of peace, freedom, and pure religion may be speedily extended to all the nations of the earth.

And finally, I recommend that on the said day the duties of humiliation and prayer be accompanied by fervent thanksgiving to the Bestower of Every Good Gift, not only for His having hitherto protected and preserved the people of these United States in the independent enjoyment of their religious and civil freedom, but also for having prospered them in a wonderful progress of population, and for conferring on them many and great favors conducive to the happiness and prosperity of a nation.

Given under my hand and the seal of the United States of America, at Philadelphia, this 23rd day of March, A. D. 1798, and of the Independence of the said States the twenty-second.

JOHN ADAMS.
By the President:
TIMOTHY PICKERING,
Secretary of State.

Seek Again The Peace of Spirit - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins

Seek again the peace of Spirit, the calm in the eye of the storms that Mankind has created. Be not so sensitive to the pain, but be giving of that which brings the greatest happiness. Continue to feel our strength, our love, our calm, and share it with all who are willing and able to express these qualities out into the world that Mankind has created for themselves.
