No More Will Tyrants Rule So Effectively - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins

Their accumulated wealth will mean nothing to those who starve not just for clean food and water, but starve for the freedom to express their humanity and goodness without fear of reprisals.  It is sad that it will come to this, but people will learn from this and will no longer be so easily deceived by these few who do ill intent and twist and turn and change laws to imprison the last voices of reason and love.  These men will be judged by God as well as their citizens and no more will tyrants rule so effectively.

Master Oogway Said - The Wisdom of Kung Fu Panda

Vision - A Poem by A.G.W

 Vision

I trod the whole world over,

I traveled every road.

I only sought an answer,

I could not bear my load.

I wandered many forests,

Past marked and unmarked graves.

I passed by lonely mountains,

And seas of restless waves.

I reached at last a lonely place,

And weary fell upon my face.

A place, like me, forgotten and unkept

And there my heart broke and I wept.

And in that place to which I'd wandered

The stony earth was torn asunder

The sky above me broke and thundered

And I gazed on in fear and wonder.

I raised my voice and wept with grief,

Put my lament before God's throne.

For He was not within the storm.

And I was standing still alone.

The sky above me burned with flame,

Beneath my feet the earth did shake.

Waves rose beyond a mountain's height,

The stones around me fell and brake.

I raised my voice and wept with grief,

Put my lament before God's throne.

For He was not within the storm,

And I was standing still alone.

Hail and fire rained on the earth, 

The greatest of the mountains fell,

Above my head stood heaven's hosts,

Beneath my feet- the depths of hell.

I raised my voice and wept with grief,

Put my lament before God's throne.

For He was not within the storm, 

And I was standing still alone.

And then the softest gentle breath

Across my tear streaked face was blown.

And He was in that quiet breath,

And I stood - no more alone.  

(AGW 1/26)

You Deprive Yourself Of Many Things By...A Quotation by Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

You deprive yourself of many things by not being able to recognize the value of what other beings give you. Even the most patient, the most generous of people end up being discouraged. What is the point of trying to help you, trying to do you a good turn, if you do not appreciate it? They feel they are wasting their time with you, and in the end they will turn to help someone else, someone who will show more appreciation for the help offered. Even a spiritual master must take this reality into consideration. He gives his riches and his knowledge to those in whom he senses an echo. Otherwise he keeps quiet; he does not put his treasures into a leaking boat. And heaven does the same: it closes its doors to anyone who does not recognize its kindliness. You will say: ‘But we didn't know it was like this and that we must be so vigilant.' Well, exactly. You have to learn. You have heard of the expression ‘to have dealings with someone', in other words to be in association with someone. This implies an exchange. Try to meditate on all the applications of this word. In exchange for what he gives you, a spiritual master asks that you at least give him your attention. Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov 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.

It Is Truly A Deception Of Words - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins

It is truly a deception of words that fuel the fires of your own destruction as a species. Solutions? Solutions are already in you and others. Seek simple solutions. For truth is nothing more than the ability to see the reality of the problem and apply actions that will correct or adjust events or circumstances to a workable outcome.

The Living Light Is The Great Creative Force - A Quotation by Peter Deunov

The living light is the great creative force in nature which creates the forms of man's thoughts, of man's desires and emotions. It envelopes man's spirit, man's mind. No one could think or feel without it. Illumination makes things clear. It causes the mind to think and reason logically.It is the light which the intuition perceives spontaneously.

Peter Deunov

Peter Deunov — his spiritual name was Beinsa Douno — was a great and inspiring teacher of eternal wisdom, embodying tremendous profundity and great simplicity. His teachings provide practical aids for living in harmony with the earth, with our fellow human beings, and with God. He looked at life through what he called Divine Love, the love that never changes and never varies. He also emphasized the mystical meaning of esoteric Christianity, not simply believing this or that, but actually living the teachings of Christ through a subtle gnosis, emphasizing loving God, loving fellow human beings and one’s enemies.

All Is Not Lost - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins

All is not lost.  There is still hope as there is always hope within your world of Man.  The Light dims more each day, yet this too will result in greater Light to enter your world in the form of future workers to reinstate the common good, which has all but been forgotten and replaced by what you may term, the common greed that has resulted in great imbalances among Men.

True Reality - A Quotation by Omraam Mikheal Aivanhov

Reality, true - can only be found in the world of the soul and spirit

Humans tend to flee the world of beauty and poetic imagination, on the pretext of needing to keep a sense of reality. And this tendency is even spreading to artists: painters, poets, film directors and playwrights do all they can in their works to present the most prosaic reality, and not just prosaic but sometimes even crude and repulsive. As if we didn’t already know enough about these aspects of reality! Why is it necessary for them to keep going over them, reproducing them and parading them everywhere in their work?  To be well-balanced and fulfilled, it is infinitely preferable for people to have access to the world of harmony, poetry and wonder and to strive to live there as often and for as long as possible. You will say that that world is an illusion, since it is unreal. Well, no, on the contrary, the world that people claim is unreal is precisely the one that is most real. It is where we finally feel we are living in purity and light. True reality is found on high, in the vast spaces of the soul and spirit.

Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

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.

In The Beginning All Beings Were Created Free - A Quotation by Peter Deunov

Today men are slaves, and in order to be set free, they must be born anew. The new birth is the release from those bonds which fetter us at present. This means escaping from the chains of destiny and necessity; this means the recovery of the primary link of man to God, existing since man's appearance in the world. This means the recovery of his freedom. In the beginning all beings were created free.

Peter Deunov

Amor Fati, Embracing Everything In Your Life

Truth Requires Balance - A Quotation by Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Truth - balancing the heart and the intellect It is important to know how to move from the realm of the intellect to the realm of the heart, and balance the cold current that blows in the region of wisdom with the warm current of love. Truth lies in this balance. If love is not tempered by wisdom, it leads to sensuality, and wisdom without love leads to coldness, contempt and cruelty. So, the coldness of wisdom must balance the heat of love, and the heat of love must moderate the coldness of wisdom. Life will find the best conditions in this temperate climate. For a grain of wheat to develop normally, it needs heat – but not too much heat – and cold – but not too much cold either. There is an ideal temperature for all seeds, so why should there not be one for the seeds that are human beings? Why should they be an exception? Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov 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.
