Be As A Light - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins

Be as a light that is carried into a dark place so that all can see their surroundings and get their bearings. For, so few can really see that which is nearby. Their minds are involved in myths and distractions that have been put in their way, never really seeing the truth of their lives or the natural surroundings. They live in a dense fog of mis-understanding and only when the sun appears, can this mist be dispersed and truth seen clearly again.

Lower Astral World Defined - A Quotation by Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Hell is the lower astral world -
Before launching into all kinds of psychic experiments that may put you in danger, first practice self-mastery, watching carefully over your desires and aspirations. In this way, you can be sure that you will be able to defend yourself even if you are exposed to danger, because the perils that you encounter in the psychic world are as numerous and formidable as those of the physical world, if not more so. If you have not applied yourselves, you will be vulnerable, and then there will be nothing left for you but to wail and go around complaining to everyone about your situation. So many so-called spiritual people end up victims of the entities and forces they have foolishly called forth. They believe that they are being chased by monsters, their life is a veritable hell. Of course, they do not understand how this has happened to them. Yet it is quite simple: by seeking to enter the astral world for all the wrong reasons—curiosity and cupidity—they have attracted entities that really make their life hell. For that is what hell is: the lower astral world.

Places Of Power - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins

Places of power

People now beg in the streets

The powerless pay

Note: I wrote this poem in the haiku style off poetry yesterday and published it for the first time today, the 19th of October, 2026. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer aided by the institutions in industry, finance, governments and media that in truth are financed by the common man.
