The Proper Way To Raise Children - The Wisdom of Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Children - do not spare them every difficulty

On the pretext that they love their children, some parents do not want to let them suffer or burn themselves a little in order to learn a lesson. At the slightest little thing, they rush to their rescue and shield their children from the consequences of their actions. Well, this is not love. The Lord does not behave in this way, and neither does nature.

The love of parents for their children does not mean immediately sparing them every difficulty. When children get themselves into scrapes, they should be left to struggle for a while and try to work it out. Once they begin to understand why and how they got themselves into the predicament, and to regret what they did, then you can come to the rescue. The fact that they have suffered a little will make them decide to be more careful and sensible in the future. Not only do parents who fail to behave this way do their children a disservice, they actually encourage them to be weak and wicked.

The Time Is Now Right - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins


The time is now right for a coming together of several who have dreamt and longed after a world of justice, of kindness, of love revealed and accepted and that time is not soon, but now upon us. A major shift will occur that will allow for the outward projection of curtain qualities that have before been left hidden and untouched. Now, an arena has been allowed to show others what can occur when individuals as well as small groups are given the opportunity to show their better natures or what is best within themselves in a safe environment where the old way of fear and intimidation no longer exist.

Do Not Misuse Your Gifts - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins


Do not misuse the gifts you have been given.  Be wise and give freely and lovingly of the Light of true understanding and true enlightenment.  For,  the Light will come and enable others to heal their old wounds and see their world in a new way.  For,  the spirit of co-operation must be fostered or nurtured before big beneficial changes can occur.

Faith Is Not Enough - The Wisdom of Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Faith is not enough - it must be accompanied by the corresponding actions and efforts

Many Christians believe that their faith will save them. No, that would be too easy; anybody can believe and yet continue to behave like a criminal. Many criminals say they believe in God, but that will not save them. Faith that is not accompanied by the corresponding attitudes and actions – or, at least, by an effort in that direction – is almost worthless. Faith is truly powerful only when it is followed by actions that conform to one’s beliefs. Take a very simple example: you believe in the effectiveness of a medicine, but if you do not take it, it will not do you any good. On the other hand, if you do take it, your faith will make it twice, three times, ten times as potent as it would be if you had no faith in it. Faith is not everything; it simply opens doors and windows and clears the path ahead for you. But if you make no effort to walk that path, you will remain stuck in front of the open door.
