If you really want to piss people off, you can do two things: Attain some happiness or tell the truth.
| Thought has an important role to play in our efforts to perfect ourselves. So, those who wish to become wiser, stronger, and more fraternal must set aside time to wish for and visualise these qualities. Imagine yourselves surrounded by light, sending your love across the whole world, and withstanding all difficulties and temptations. Little by little the images you form of these qualities will take on life. They will influence you, they will transform you as they work to attract the necessary elements from the universe and to establish them in your entire being. Of course, a good deal of time and work are necessary before any result is achieved. But the day this result presents itself, you can doubt no longer: you feel a living entity above you which protects you, instructs you, purifies you, enlightens you, and in difficult situations gives you the support you need. You must begin by forming something ideal in the world of the spirit, because this perfection will then gradually descend into your psychic matter where it will be realised. 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. |
Will you follow Him?
Or follow an Earthly king
Be lead not astray

His voice said to me
Be firm in your faith again
The calm in the storm

Una oración por la nación. Algo para los que puedan estar interesados.
Inmaculada María, patrona de los Estados Unidos de América. Reina del Cielo y de la tierra, bajo cuyo dominio están sometidas todas las cosas inferiores a Dios, tristes y conscientes de nuestra propia pecaminosidad y de los pecados de nuestra nación, acudimos a ti como refugio y esperanza, sabiendo que nuestro país no puede salvarse por nuestras propias obras, y siendo conscientes de cuánto se ha apartado nuestra nación de los caminos de tu Hijo, te pedimos humildemente que vuelvas tus ojos a nuestro país para lograr su conversión. Te consagramos a todos los que gobiernan nuestra República, para que se cumpla lo que es espiritual y moralmente mejor para los ciudadanos de nuestra nación, y para que gobiernen según los principios espirituales y morales que llevarán a nuestra nación a la conformidad con las enseñanzas de tu Hijo.
Ata cualquier fuerza, espiritual o humana, que intente infligir daño o mal a nuestro país, o contra aquellos que hacen el bien a nuestra nación con su gobierno. Da gracia a los ciudadanos de esta Tierra, para que merezcan líderes que gobiernen según el Sagrado Corazón de tu Hijo, para que se manifieste su gloria, no sea que nos den los líderes que merecemos. Confiando en el cuidado providencial de Dios Padre y en tu solicitud maternal, tenemos perfecta confianza en que Tú nos cuidarás y no nos dejarás desamparados. Oh María Inmaculada, ruega por nosotros.

Rode Klif (red cliff) at Lake IJsselmeer
This cliff is made of boulder clay and is named after the colour of the clay. Red boulder clay is found only in Gaasterland in the Netherlands . The cliff is famous for being the site of the battle of Warns, 1345 AD. The battle is commemorated by the large boulder. The inscription on the boulder, ‘Leaver dea as slaaf’ (better dead than a slave), speaks for itself.
Some will come forward
With the hearts of a lion
Will they take God's lead?

| Chief Blackhawk of the Sauk Nation |
Where are the strong men?
Weak men have taken their rule
Honourless cowards

Note: I wrote this poem last week in the haiku style of poetry and published it for the first time today, the 25th of January, 2025. I chose the image of Chief Blackhawk of the Sauk Nation for his strength of character. Search his name and find out a little about him.
A new President
Wolves, jackals now surround him
Will he keep his word?

Note: I wrote these ten poems in the huiku style of poetry a few days ago and published them for the first time today, the 21st of January, 2025. I started with Version # 1 and added a different last verse or line which keeps with the theme of the poem but slightly changes the meaning. This is a practice that I started some time ago. I ask the reader if he or she would be so kind as to let me know the number of the poem that most resonates with them by leaving a reply in the comment section.

Rarely truth in words
Man often deceives, betrays
Rather trust in deeds

It is always best to observe the actions of others and reserve not too quick to accept their promises. The word Man is used as in proper English being short for Mankind which includes both genders.
