In Order To Change Other Human Beings, You Must Change Yourself First - A Quotation by Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov


Human beings - in order to change them you must change yourself first

Some people believe that once they have read a few esoteric books, which they more or less understand, they are ready to open a school and have their own disciples. Will they really be able to enlighten people and help them to change? Well no, because to be able to change others, you must change yourself first. A young girl falls in love with an alcoholic and marries him, convinced that she will rescue him from his vice. Wanting to save someone is very commendable, but with what is she going to do so? Does she have enough know-how? Ultimately, not only does she fail to save him, but she, too, is driven to drink. There are many people who believe they will save humanity just the way they are. They do not ask themselves, ‘Do I have the knowledge, the love, the light, the purity and the will?’ They see themselves as equal to the task. They are there, they exist and that should be enough. Unfortunately, it is not, and they always make a mess of it.

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.

Now, We Have Great Potential For War And Famine. - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins


Now, we have great potential for war and famine. Groups now vie for more power everywhere. A sense of danger is prevalent in your world. Many unbalanced ones are reacting hastily and foolishly now. The weak ones rule everywhere and have silenced the voices of those of strength and patience. Pray for grace. Only through God's grace can these events be avoided. Fear not and fret not, for you only add to the negative emotions that now prevail. Bring more light through prayer and right action and awaken the fires in others, so they can add to this positive force of creation.

Have Faith And Proceed With Integrity - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins


Have faith and proceed with integrity. For you believe that the truth is a hard path to travel when in reality, this path of lies that the leaders in your world have enforced or encouraged has actually brought all great unhappiness and pain.
