Destiny Is A Harsh Teacher - A Quotation by Omraam Mikhael Ivanhov
Destiny - a harsh teacher so that humans may surpass themselves Artists are generally not psychically robust: they are very sensitive and emotional, and you must treat them with consideration and care. So many have ended their lives discouraged or broken, because they were neither accepted nor recognized! Rare are those who, faced with hardship, have been able to manifest the courage that is the mark of a truly great spirit. We sometimes ask ourselves, ‘But why does fate (or Providence) treat the most remarkable, the noblest beings so severely? Why?’ So that they may surpass themselves and give the very best of themselves. If those around them behaved differently, if they praised them, encouraged them, and provided for all their needs, what would happen? They would become sluggish, weak and less luminous; they would not produce works as profound and as splendid. This is why Destiny works in this way; it is a harsh teacher, but you must understand and accept it. 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. |

Through The Heart Way - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins
Through the heart way lies the greatest happiness while living one's life as a human being. It is the heart way that seeks a better way for all inhabitants of the human community. It is the heart way that balances and brings the peace and certainty of Spirit into one's being. The heart way bridges the gap between Heaven and Earth and allows one to enter into realms of unlimited potential. For through the heart one can again know that one is neither apart from or separate from the Whole. One becomes the heart of a Larger Heart, which beats with the rhythm of the One Heart, which is the Essence of all of life.
