Wishing all a Happy New Year 2024.

Paramhansa Yogananda, also known as Swami Yogananda and sometimes as Swami Paramhansa Yogananda, was the first yoga master of India to take up permanent residence in the West.
Heavenly Source - by linking ourselves to it, our own source can spring forth When the divine Source penetrates our soul, it opens it out to the far reaches of the universe. We lose ourselves in immensity; we bear all creatures within us; we embrace the whole world and when at last we have succeeded in making the divine Source flow in our heart, intellect and soul, it merges with the primordial Source, which is our spirit, which is God Himself. In this way, we become powerful with the power of God. 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. |
The world is a great stage on which God displays his many wonders.
St. Francis of Assisi
St. Francis of Assisi is known as the patron saint of animals and the environment.
Grace - it is given to those who have some capital Some theologians present grace as an arbitrary and inexplicable manifestation of the Deity; nobody knows why grace is given to some people and not to others. It has nothing to do with their conduct or actions, and it is useless to try and understand; that is just the way it is. Presented this way, grace is incompatible with justice and we may wonder if there really is such a thing as divine justice. There is not much to be said for human justice, so if God too is unjust... No, this is a very bad interpretation of something that is really quite easy to understand. Let me illustrate it. Suppose you are in the process of building a house: the walls are up, but you suddenly realize that you do not have enough money to finish it, so you go to the bank and apply for a loan. If you have sufficient capital, the bank will agree to lend you a certain amount. Does it lend money to everyone? No, but if you already have some capital – some land or assets – it will lend you what you need. In the same way, grace is not given to everybody, only to those who have already prepared themselves, who have already built something and have some capital. Grace says, ‘That person is a good worker; they pray and meditate; I will give them what they need to complete the temple they are building.’ So, grace is something more than justice, but it nevertheless obeys a form of justice. 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. |
Consciousness - love expands it and wisdom illuminates it On the contrary, the consciousness of those who love expands, it reaches out to meet and revolve around others; it stays close to them, and touches and embraces them. Look at people filled with love – they are never still, they are constantly turning to others and taking an interest in their affairs (to the point of sometimes making a nuisance of themselves!) But a person’s consciousness can expand and still not be enlightened: the images of love are blurred; they do not give you a clear indication of what you should do. This is why love is not enough; it needs to be accompanied by wisdom. 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. |
Goodness - sooner or later, it will bring you every blessing A good thought or a good feeling never fails to have an effect, for everything is recorded and leaves a trace. Of course, you must not expect people around you to notice all the goodness in your mind and your heart right away. But you can be sure that one day, all the useful, constructive work you have done by choosing the right path will bring you every blessing. This law is absolute. 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. |
Lao-Tzu (l. c. 500 BCE, also known as Laozi or Lao-Tze) was a Chinese philosopher credited with founding the philosophical system of Taoism.
Love - as soon as you stop looking for it, love comes to you You cannot get away from the fact that when you look for love from others, you are concentrating on something outside yourself and you lose the love within you. So instead of looking for love, draw it out from yourself and give it to others and then it will always be within you. 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. |
A new heart now beats in unison with Heaven and with Earth. It draws upon the power and magnitude of both, yet keeps its individual expression. A heart newly formed from the darkness of the past, transformed and transmuted in the fire of Love.

Much talk of freedom
Enslaving us is the goal
Eleventh hour
© 2023 M.N. Hopkins
Note: I wrote this poem in the haiku style of poetry a few days ago and published it for the first time today, the 16th of December, 2023. The eleventh hour awaits many to make their choice. Seize the day.
Now is the time to
Stop their evil intentions
We have mind, will, love

Note: I wrote this poem in the haiku style of poetry yesterday and published it for the first time today, the 15th of December, 2023. The powers that should not be who have hijacked all our governments, institutions and industry are now being exposed for what they have done to many. Hopefully, more are seeing their own power, strength of will and mind and begin to claim their self sovereignty. It is not something one asks permission to express.
We have accepted
A rule by those of weakness
When will these lies end

Note: I wrote this poem in the haiku style of poetry a few days ago and published it for the first time today, the 14th of December, 2023. Just a reflection of the state of current political persons who are appointed rather than chosen by citizens and too inept and incompetent and corrupted and only do as told by those few of dark determination.
Life will either crush you or form you into a diamond.

Note: I wrote this about a week ago when thinking about how some grow in strength and character or develop in a positive manner due to adversary while others become broken and stay broken. This has little to do with external circumstance but rather has to do with ones internal character and ability to live in a principled manner.
Alle spesies behalwe die mens is nou aan die Aarde verbind en leef binne 'n gebalanseerde stelsel van samewerking. Die mens is laaste om die kuns van balans en verbinding van hart tot hart te leer. In jou arrogansie het jy jou plek in die skema van dinge of die weë van die natuurlike wêreld vergeet. Jy het ook vergeet van jou verbintenis met mekaar en met die Goddelike.

İnsan dışındaki tüm türler artık Dünya'ya bağlıdır ve dengeli bir işbirliği sistemi içinde yaşamaktadır. İnsanoğlu denge ve kalpten kalbe bağlantı sanatını en son öğrenen canlıdır. Kibriniz yüzünden olayların düzenindeki yerinizi ya da doğal dünyanın yöntemlerini unuttunuz. Ayrıca birbirinizle ve İlahi Olan'la olan bağlantınızı da unuttunuz.

मनुष्य को छोड़कर सभी प्रजातियाँ अब पृथ्वी से जुड़ी हुई हैं और सहयोग की एक संतुलित प्रणाली के भीतर रहती हैं। मनुष्य संतुलन और हृदय से हृदय तक जुड़ने की कला सबसे अंत में सीखता है। अपने अहंकार में आप चीजों की योजना या प्राकृतिक दुनिया के तरीकों में अपना स्थान भूल गए हैं। आप एक-दूसरे से और ईश्वर से अपना संबंध भी भूल गए हैं।

मानिस बाहेक सबै प्रजातिहरू अहिले पृथ्वीसँग जोडिएका छन् र सहयोगको सन्तुलित प्रणालीभित्र बस्छन्। मानिसले हृदयदेखि हृदयसम्म सन्तुलन र जडानको कला सिक्ने अन्तिम हो। तपाईंको अहंकारमा तपाईंले चीजहरूको योजना वा प्राकृतिक संसारको तरिकामा आफ्नो स्थान बिर्सनुभयो। एक अर्का र परमात्माको सम्बन्धलाई पनि बिर्सिसकेको छौ।

மனிதனைத் தவிர அனைத்து உயிரினங்களும் இப்போது பூமியுடன் இணைக்கப்பட்டு ஒரு சமநிலையான கூட்டுறவு அமைப்பில் வாழ்கின்றன. இதயத்திலிருந்து இதயத்திற்கு சமநிலை மற்றும் இணைப்பின் கலையை மனிதன் கடைசியாக கற்றுக்கொள்கிறான். உங்கள் ஆணவத்தால், இயற்கை உலகின் வழிகளில் உங்கள் இடத்தை மறந்துவிட்டீர்கள். நீங்கள் ஒருவருக்கொருவர் மற்றும் தெய்வீகத்துடன் உங்கள் தொடர்பை மறந்துவிட்டீர்கள்.

মানুষ ব্যতীত সমস্ত প্রজাতি এখন পৃথিবীর সাথে সংযুক্ত এবং সহযোগিতার ভারসাম্যপূর্ণ ব্যবস্থার মধ্যে বাস করে। মানুষ হৃদয় থেকে হৃদয়ে ভারসাম্য এবং সংযোগের শিল্প শিখতে শেষ। আপনার অহংকারে আপনি জিনিসগুলির পরিকল্পনা বা প্রাকৃতিক জগতের উপায়ে আপনার স্থান ভুলে গেছেন। তোমরা একে অপরের সাথে এবং ঐশ্বরিকের সাথে আপনার সংযোগও ভুলে গেছ।

כל המינים מלבד האדם מחוברים כעת לכדור הארץ וחיים בתוך מערכת מאוזנת של שיתוף פעולה. האדם הוא האחרון שילמד את אמנות האיזון והחיבור מלב אל לב. ביהירותך שכחת את מקומך בסכימת הדברים או בדרכי העולם הטבעי. שכחת גם את הקשר שלך זה לזה ולאל האלוהי.

همه گونه ها به جز انسان اکنون به زمین متصل هستند و در یک سیستم متعادل از همکاری زندگی می کنند. انسان آخرین کسی است که هنر تعادل و ارتباط را از قلب به قلب می آموزد. در غرور خود جایگاه خود را در طرح چیزها یا راههای عالم طبیعت فراموش کرده اید. شما همچنین ارتباط خود را با یکدیگر و خدا را فراموش کرده اید.

جميع الأنواع، باستثناء الإنسان، مرتبطة الآن بالأرض وتعيش ضمن نظام متوازن من التعاون. الإنسان هو آخر من يتعلم فن التوازن والاتصال من القلب إلى القلب. في غطرستك نسيت مكانك في مخطط الأشياء أو طرق العالم الطبيعي. لقد نسيتم أيضًا ارتباطكم ببعضكم البعض وبالإله.

人間以外のすべての種は地球とつながり、バランスの取れた協力体制の中で生きている。 人間は、心と心のバランスとつながりを学ぶ最後の段階にある。 傲慢さのあまり、あなたたちは物事の仕組みや自然界の道における自分の位置を忘れてしまった。 また、互いに、そして神とのつながりも忘れている。

Tất cả các loài trừ Con người hiện được kết nối với Trái đất và sống trong một hệ thống hợp tác cân bằng. Con người là người cuối cùng học được nghệ thuật cân bằng và kết nối từ trái tim đến trái tim. Vì kiêu ngạo, bạn đã quên mất vị trí của mình trong sơ đồ vạn vật hoặc cách thức của thế giới tự nhiên. Bạn cũng đã quên mất mối liên hệ của mình với nhau và với Thần thánh.

ขณะนี้ทุกสายพันธุ์ยกเว้นมนุษย์เชื่อมต่อกับโลกและอาศัยอยู่ในระบบความร่วมมือที่สมดุล มนุษย์เป็นคนสุดท้ายที่จะเรียนรู้ศิลปะแห่งความสมดุลและการเชื่อมโยงจากใจสู่ใจ ในความเย่อหยิ่งของคุณ คุณลืมจุดยืนของคุณในแผนของสิ่งต่าง ๆ หรือวิถีของโลกธรรมชาติ คุณลืมการเชื่อมโยงระหว่างกันและกับพระเจ้าด้วย
