Happy 4th of July 2026

Wishing all those who visit my blog this 4th of July weekend a pleasant time with family and friends.

Remember and honor our ancestors who acted upon their dreams and built a strong foundation for future generations. See clearly what we have become and what we can become by not submitting to and allowing political or religious fanatics of dark determination to destroy what has been built up by preceding generations.

On a less serious note once again, Have a happy and peaceful 4th of July holiday with family and friends.

Kind and warm regards,

Mike

Humans All Have The Same Origin - A Quotation by Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Humans all have the same origin, and before they began their long journey far from their heavenly homeland they lived in the bosom of the Eternal. Consequently, they have retained a memory of this paradise, albeit as very distant glimmers. But during the course of their successive incarnations they haven’t all had the same experiences: while some have strayed onto dark, tortuous paths, others have kept a clearer awareness deep inside themselves of their divine origin. This is why, when certain parts of Initiatic Science are revealed to them, they say to themselves, ‘Yes, that is the truth… I already knew that!’ As for those who have allowed themselves to be drawn into disorder and chaos, they are closed to all revelations. In order to rediscover these truths, they must try to take the path again that leads to the heights by purifying themselves, in other words by working on their thoughts and feelings with love and wisdom.
