There Are Souls Who...Author Unknown

See Reality - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins

They read from a script

Politicians are actors

See reality

© 2026  M.N. Hopkins

Note:   I wrote this poem yesterday and published it for the first time today, the 26th of October, 2026.  Best way to explain this is politics is a reality show to distract and mislead the public.

Consequences - A Quotation by Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Consequences - the path along which human beings travel is a circular one Anyone who enjoys throwing pieces of broken glass on the road, saying, ‘What does it matter? I won’t be the one to get hurt’, is mistaken, because the road we follow is not a straight line. Yes, you may not be aware of this, but the path along which human beings travel is a circular one. So one day, that person will have to travel along the same road where previously they spread danger, and will have to suffer the consequences of their actions. If you dig holes or set traps along the road, the laws will take you past that very spot again and make you fall into these same holes and into these same traps.  You will then have time to reflect on your misadventures, to grumble that there are wicked and stupid people around, and try to discover who the culprits are. You will, of course, have forgotten that the culprit was you, yourself. Those who live with a devil-may-care attitude create all the problems that will, one day or another, plague their life." 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.

Die Lig van 'n Nuwe Môre - 'n Aanhaling deur M.N. Hopkins

Sien weer en voel weer daardie Vreugde, daardie Krag, en die Liefde wat nou slapend in jou is en net wag dat jy die deure van jou tronke oopmaak en uitstap in die Lig van 'n nuwe môre.
