Forces Are Always At Work To.....A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins

Forces are always at work to put a damper on doers of good deeds and right actions. A few of darkness project their own weakness out upon the lands and reward those who portray or you could also say, betray there fellows. If one appears to be strong or wise, he is discredited and made to look a fool. Every roadblock is put in the path of one who seeks to do good acts in your world and then, their failure is portrayed as due to their own weaknesses or inabilities. Yet, at the same time we find leaders in business, industry, and government without any talents or abilities in leadership, but they are portrayed as qualified, but their only true quality is their weakness and vulnerability and tendencies toward corruption. This way, control is assured.

Krafter är alltid på plats för att - Ett Citat av M.N. Hopkins

Krafter är alltid på plats för att lägga sordin på dem som gör goda gärningar och rätt handlingar. Några få av mörker projicerar sin egen svaghet vida omkring och belönar dem som förhånar eller rättare sagt, förråder sina likar. Om någon verkar vara stark eller klok, blir han misskrediterad och idiotiserad. Varje spärr läggs i vägen för en som försöker göra goda handlingar i din värld, sedan framställs deras misslyckande som en följd av deras egna svagheter eller oförmåga. Ändå finner vi samtidigt ledare inom näringsliv, industri och regering utan kunskaper eller färdigheter i ledarskap, men de framställs som kvalificerade, medan deras enda sanna kvalitet är deras svaghet, sårbarhet och tendens att låta sig korrumperas. På så sätt garanteras kontrollen.

Es Sind Immer Kräfte Am Arbeiten Um - Ein Zitat von M.N. Hopkins

Es sind immer Kräfte am Arbeiten um Denjenigen mit guten Taten und richtigen Handlungen einen Dämpfer zu geben. Einige Wenige in Dunkelheit projizieren ihre eigene Schwäche auf die Länder und belohnen Diejenigen die es ihnen nachtun oder man könnte auch sagen, die ihre Mitmenschen verraten. Wenn jemand stark oder klug erscheint, wird er diskreditiert und lächerlich gemacht. Jedes Hindernis wird Demjenigen in den Weg gelegt, der versucht gute Taten in Eurer Welt zu tun und dann wird als Grund für das Versagen Dessen eigene Schwäche oder Unfähigkeit angeführt. Doch zur gleichen Zeit finden wir Führungskräfte in Wirtschaft, Industrie und Regierung ohne Talent oder Fähigkeiten zur Führung, aber sie werden als qualifiziert dargestellt, aber ihre wahre Qualität ist nur die Schwäche und Verwundbarkeit und Tendenz zur Korruption. Auf diese Weise wird die Kontrolle gewährleistet.

Dont Be Pushed Around By....A Quotation by Roy T. Bennet

No Work Can Be Done Without Due Care And Thought - The Wisdom Of Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Two Linemen for Telephone Exchange In Wisconsin "Everything you do reveals something about your education, your character, your intelligence and your sense of the aesthetic. You may say, ‘Oh, but my job is only to sweep and wash the floor!’ Do you really think it is as simple as that? In doing so, you should also think about it and pay attention. Just the way in which you set about this work – which you find so easy – can show your intelligence. Even in sweeping there is an order to be followed and certain precautions to be taken so as not to raise clouds of dust. You might say that you use a vacuum cleaner. Well that is fine, though you must still be careful not to go over the same place several times and miss others completely, not to bump into the furniture or get a chair caught up in the electric cord, and so on. No work can be done without due care and thought. Whatever the work may be, whether physical or mental, we must first see how to organize it, in what order things should be done. This is what it means to have a good method. So observe yourselves, and no matter what sort of work you undertake, think about how to prepare it and carry it out." Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Kämpa För - Ett Citat av M.N. Hopkins

Kämpa för rättvisa, kämpa för sanning, men först måste du kämpa för dig själv. Det börjar långsamt, men blir allt starkare med tiden. Kom ihåg, några med Guds ljus kan övervinna en tusenhövdad armé av mörker.

Winds of Change - A Journey Through Sound and Music by Simone Vitale

The Sound of Golden Light

I have created this long track for an online music festival that never happened... so here it is for you to enjoy!
This is a long track with three main sections. The first part features nature sound recorded around Waihi Beach in New Zealand and Himalayan Singing Bowls. Then it moves into a trance kind of background with the addition of guitar and voice. After a short interlude with Tuning Forks and overtone singing, the third section starts, with a more upbeat, percussive, tribal music that opens up to a light finale.
Here and there, a special mysterious guest...

A Few Have Kept Hope Alive - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins

A few have kept hope alive and succeeded in overcoming the darkness of their despair.   Yes, these few who have fought as Warriors of Light for centuries, never giving up, never defeated by the numerous forces of darkness. A few against many fighting so that many can one day prosper in Spirit. Fighting for many whom have lost their way, lost all good sense and reason.

It's No Wonder There Is A Rise In Sickness And Poverty - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins

It's no wonder there is a rise in sickness and poverty. We each feed each other and this helps us maintain and encourage greater emotional and mental health through our positive interactions. Instead, we have chosen to fight each other and project negativity upon each other which has resulted in a world of war, disease, and financial crises that are fuelled by the greed of a few whose sole aim is to enslave humanity as they have been enslaved by their own weaknesses and needs for control and power over others.

Now, Our Real Life Begins - An Insight & Guest Post by KDJH

Western wise men set their sites on having, and then along the road we stop being. Were hurriedly running around seeking, but know where are we finding. Forces have us cowering, when we see we should be flowering. The buildings are towering, but the water is souring. So stop me if you feel this devouring. I alone see, all our eyes shining. Tears wiped away, our hopes are thriving. Were not to seek and see, were here to love, and be. Glittering stars, reflecting sea. Our souls are back and their not leaving, and trumpets are blown and angels are singing.  From above, were found again, the meaning is united. A whole and healed heart, no longer divided. Our beauty is our sword, our love is our battering ram. The wall of purpose is broken, and our quiet voice has spoken. Now,  our real life begins.

Eight Gifts - A Guest Post by Errol Clark Halkett

 

Eight Gifts 

Below are eight gifts that don’t cost a cent to give. 

1) THE GIFT OF LISTENING... 

But you must REALLY listen. 

No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response. 

Just listening. 

 

2) THE GIFT OF AFFECTION... 

Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back and >handholds. 

Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for family >and friends. 

3) THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER... 

Funny pictures.  Share articles, funny stories and funny 

greetings.  Your gift will say, “I love to laugh with you.” 

4) THE GIFT OF A WRITTEN NOTE... 

It can be a simple “Thanks for the help” note or a full sonnet. 

A brief, handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime, and >may even change a life. 

 

5) THE GIFT OF A COMPLIMENT... 

A simple and sincere, “You look great in red,” “You did a super >job” or “That was a wonderful meal” can make someone’s day. 

6) THE GIFT OF A FAVOR... 

Every day, go out of your way to do something kind. 

Helping elderly cross the road can be nice. 

 

7) THE GIFT OF SOLITUDE... 

There are times when we want nothing better than to be left >alone.  Be sensitive to those times and give the gift of 

solitude to others. 

8) THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION... 

The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to 

someone, really it’s not that hard to say, Hello or Thank You.
