Man Has Chosen A Path Toward...A Quotation from M.N. Hopkins


Man has chosen a path toward human destruction and eventual annulation of the species. It is never too late. Change can come in a millisecond and last for a thousand years if Man but realigns his intentions with that of both Nature plus that of the Divine.

Note:  Man is used as it was in the past in the English language  and includes both genders, man and woman.

Gone Are The...A Quotation from M.N. Hopkins


Gone are the family farms, the clans, the tribal groups that flourished for countless centuries and evolved in the ways of the heart and developed mental powers that cannot even be conceived of by the inhabitants of your world today.  These systems gave Man a sense of pride, freedom and self esteem as well as a reverence for both the Earth and for God.

Centralization - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins

Centralization

Is very vulnerable

Target the center

©  2023  M.N. Hopkins

Note:  This is a lesson history has taught us and we are soon to have another lesson in the vulnerability of centralizing too much power at the center of a Union.  Soviet Union was a classic example of this as was Rome,  the United States and the Evil Union by the taking away the sovereignty and more and more power away from the member States and incorporating it all in a central location.   The only way for alliances to stand is if all member States way of life and beliefs remain respected and their sovereignty as nations remain intact.

For, Man Was Once In Balance - A Discourse by M.N. Hopkins


For,  Man was once in balance and gained from the strength and wisdom of both Realms. Now, Man has grown dependent on machine and a new priestly class of the Corporation which has created new myths and taken much of the power away from the early priests of the Church. The new priests of darkness control your governments and in fact, all your institutions. The new mantra is buy, buy, buy. In so doing, have you all said, bye, bye, bye to the better parts of your being. Emotional and mental illness is as a plague upon the Lands. This is due to unnatural conflicts created when one begins to see reality through a haze of myth and images created and put into human minds by this priestly class.  For, long ago they learned the persuasive power of the image, the attraction of the mind toward fantasy and myth and used this knowledge to serve their own purposes. Now, after thousands of years, the human systems fail and some begin to see behind the illusionary veil to the heart of what we have become over time by no longer following our God given paths.

The Disconnected - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins

The disconnected

From life, from love, from each other

Reconnect to your Self

© 2023  M.N. Hopkins

Note:  In my view, self is ego and Self is Soul. To connect to ones Soul, gives one a direct connection of God.  I woke up in the wee hours of the morning with the first two verses in my thoughts.  The third verse took some thought.  I wrote and published this poem for the first time today, the 25th of January, 2023.

Those Who Seek Power - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins

Those who seek power

Lack in loyalty toward kin

Lost in their own greed

©  2023  M.N. Hopkins

Note:  I wrote this poem yesterday in the haiku style of poetry and published it for the first time today, the 21st of January, 2023.  We see this attitude reflected today in the insanity of our world leaders and how this greed for power leads to making bad choices or decisions that will soon bring down their nations and be suffered most by those populations who pay for their foolishness.

To Be Centered Within Your Own Inner Faith - A Question from M.N. Hopkins

Does it matter where you place your faith?  In another person, a deity, a prophet, a saint, an object, the Earth  or the Divine.  It is still your faith that originates from yourSelf.  I am of the opinion that it is far better mentally, emotionally and physically to be centered within your own inner Faith which originates from your Soul or Self connection.

©  2023  M.N. Hopkins

Note:  In my world self is ego and Self is Soul which has a direct connection to the Creator.

We Have Yet To Learn....An Insight by M.N. Hopkins

We have not yet to learn to be leaderless.  We project our own inner strength, courage, intelligence outward by placing it upon another who usually has none of the fore mentioned qualities.  Eventually, we will come to a time when we will learn this lesson and the rule of a few will be replaced by the rule of the many who will each be self sovereign with the ability to work together.

Real Happiness Is....A Quotation by Nisargadatta Maharaj

 


Nisargadatta Maharaj "The profound yet simple words of this extraordinary teacher are designed to jolt us into awareness of our original nature.
