Now Open Your Hearts And Feel - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins

There is no force or energy or entity within your world that can harm one who has opened his or her heart to love. This is a myth and a deception. It is the closed or darkened heart that will put one in danger or make one vulnerable to the forces or people in your realm who deceive for their own personal profit or benefit at the expense of all others. The open heart is much more judicious or just. Now open your hearts and feel the strength and clarity of thought and emotion.

Öppna Nu Era Hjärtan Och Erfar - Ett Citat av M.N. Hopkins

Det finns ingen kraft eller energi eller enhet i er värld som kan skada en som har öppnat sitt hjärta för kärlek. Detta är en myt och ett bedrägeri. Det är det stängda eller mörkare hjärtat som kommer att utsätta en för fara eller göra en sårbar för de krafter eller personer i ditt rike som bedrar för egen personlig vinning eller fördel på bekostnad av alla andra. Det öppna hjärtat är mycket klokare eller rättvisare. Öppna nu era hjärtan och erfar styrkan och klarheten i tanke och känsla!

Nun Öffnet Eure Herzen und Fühlt - Ein Zitat von M.N. Hopkins

Es gibt keine Kraft oder Energie oder Einheit in Eurer Welt, die jemandem schaden kann der sein oder ihr Herz zum Lieben geöffnet hat. Das ist ein Mythos und ein Betrug. Es ist das verschlossene oder finstere Herz das Einen in Gefahr bringt oder Einen anfällig macht für die Kräfte oder Personen in Eurem Reich, die für ihren persönlichen Gewinn oder Vorteil auf Kosten aller Anderen betrügen.  Das offene Herz ist viel weiser und gerechter. Nun öffnet Eure Herzen und fühlt die Kraft und Klarheit des Denkens und Fühlens.

May I Never Cease To Wonder - A Poem And Guest Post by Dominic Windram

May I never cease to wonder

At the cascading crystal blue waters

Of the waterfall; at each new dawn's

Sweet sunbursts of flesh pink magic.

At the moonlight flashing in the mirror;

At the night's stars gently vibrating;

At the jellyfish swell of oceanic dreaming;

At the sheer joy of eternal becoming.

Befriending Good People - A Quotation From The Sci Fi Novel, Von Braun's Gambit by Black Knight

 

Black Knight Bio:

I am a philosopher and fantasy/sci fi writer. There are few things I love having in my life - Freedom, Knowledge and Safety! Freedom from censorship and me being able to express myself. Either my opinions, or publishing books unmolested. Knowledge both of old and future to aid me see the world trough a prism of truth. Safety from oppression and detention based on tyrannical laws.

Once One Sees Glimpses Of The Future - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins

Once one sees glimpses of the future and see that it never turns out exactly as one sees it means there are many variations and many possibilities. There are endless possibilities but people get stuck in whatever is being used for control and manipulation toward dystopian societies. The powers that should not be are apparently a psychotic bunch with a dim, dull and dark vision and the majority of folks are buying their stories.

Rose/Cleese Interview On London Real

John Cleese Interview on London Real

CREATIVITY: HOW MODERN CULTURE HAS STIFLED COMEDY AND SHIFTED WHAT IS "FUNNY"

John Cleese is an iconic British comedian, actor, screenwriter, author, and founding member of Monty Python and now he returns with his new book ‘Creativity: A Short and Cheerful Guide’, which explores the skill of imaginative thinking and explains how we can all develop our creative unconscious.

John’s early success came from Monty Python’s movies such as ‘Life Of Brian’, and ‘The Meaning Of Life’, and ‘Monty Python and The Holy Grail’. He also starred as a host of characters in Monty Python’s Flying Circus; a sketch show which went on to tour across the world with some of John’s stand-out characters featured in ‘Argument Clinic’, ‘Ministry of Silly Walks’, and ‘Dead Parrot sketch’.

One of John’s stand-out pieces of work was ‘A Fish Called Wanda‘, a comedy heist film which John won a BAFTA for in the category of Best Actor in a Leading Role in 1988.

Following the success with his university classmates, John went on to create one of the most iconic characters in British comedy in Basil Fawlty from ‘Fawlty Towers’, for which he won the 1980 BAFTA for Best Entertainment Performance.

With a television career spanning six decades, John has had his fair share of run-ins with censorship and cancel culture to a point where the BBC recently removed his Fawlty Towers episode titled ‘The Germans‘, originally aired back in 1975, because it contained a so-called racial slur.

Another incident included Monty Python’s ‘Life Of Brian’ being banned from cinemas in the UK in 1979 because of its blasphemy where a passionate debate unfolded with the Bishop of Southwark on BBC’s ‘Friday Night, Saturday Morning’.

John is an advocate for writing jokes about anything, but believes it is becoming much harder to be creative with political correctness – a subject he believes has gone too far to where any form of criticism of an individual or group is labeled as cruel.

Tune in as John Cleese discusses topics including his new book, Monty Python, writing comedy, censorship and cancel culture.

The Population In The Future Will....A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins

The population in the future will decrease due to the manipulation of crops, thus poisoning man's food supply, the widespread use of drugs, with their detrimental effect on the human body, and the total breakdown of organized and planned action due to the weakening of will and the lack of inspiration and leadership within our human communities.

Befolkningen Kommer i Framtiden Att - Ett Citat av M.N. Hopkins

Befolkningen kommer i framtiden att minska på grund av manipulation av grödor, vilket förgiftar människans livsmedel, den utbredda användningen av droger, med deras skadliga inverkan på människokroppen, och en total brist på organiserat och planerat handlande på grund av försvagad vilja och brist på inspiration och ledarskap i de mänskliga samhällena.

Die Population Der Zukunft Wird Abnehmen Durch - Ein Zitat von M.N. Hopkins

Die Population der Zukunft wird abnehmen durch manipulierte Ernte, womit des Menschens Nahrungsquellen vergiftet werden,  die weit verbreitete Nutzung von Drogen,  mit ihren verheerenden Wirkungen auf den Körper und  den Zusammenbruch organisierter und geplanter Aktionen; da der Wille geschwächt wurde und es einen Mangel an Inspiration und Führerschaft in unseren Gemeinden gibt.

Believe In People - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins

We must make stories

That will carry us forward

Believe in people 

©  2020   M.N. Hopkins

Note:   I wrote this poem inspired by an Australian movie called, 2067.  Believe in People was a line in the movie spoken by one of the protagonists.  A hopeful message, indeed.  I wrote a comment to another person just before viewing this movie and it is funny how this comment, viewing the movie and a poem all came together that day. Here is the comment,  ''Thanks. Once one sees glimpes of the future and see that it never turns out exactly as one sees it means there are many variations and many possibilities. There are endless possibilities but people get stuck in whatever is being used for control and manipulation toward dystopoian societies. The powers that should not be are apparently a pychotic bunch with a dim, dull and dark vision and the majority of folks are buying their stories.''  

This poem was inspired and written in the haiku style of poetry yesterday and published for the first time today, the 7th of October, 2020.

Var Inte Rädd, Utan Gå Djärvt In i Morgondagen - Ett Citat av M.N. Hopkins

Var inte rädd, utan gå djärvt in i morgondagen. För vägen är smal och det finns många fallgropar, så den som leder måste sprida ett starkt ljus så att de som följer tydligt kan se vägen framåt. Ju mer ljus, desto tydligare och säkrare resa.
