Now, We Have Great Potential For War And Famine. - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins


Now, we have great potential for war and famine. Groups now vie for more power everywhere. A sense of danger is prevalent in your world. Many unbalanced ones are reacting hastily and foolishly now. The weak ones rule everywhere and have silenced the voices of those of strength and patience. Pray for grace. Only through God's grace can these events be avoided. Fear not and fret not, for you only add to the negative emotions that now prevail. Bring more light through prayer and right action and awaken the fires in others, so they can add to this positive force of creation.

Have Faith And Proceed With Integrity - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins


Have faith and proceed with integrity. For you believe that the truth is a hard path to travel when in reality, this path of lies that the leaders in your world have enforced or encouraged has actually brought all great unhappiness and pain.

Illness Is An Illusion Of The Mind - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins

Why Miyamoto Musashi Chose Isolation Over Belonging



Youtube link:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAu0KulExZE

Before death claimed him, Musashi wrote twenty-one principles. Twenty-one laws for living. Twenty-one truths distilled from a lifetime of combat, solitude, discipline, and walking alone. He called it Dokkōdō — The Way of Walking Alone. This video is a cinematic philosophical interpretation inspired by Musashi’s teachings, including ideas found in The Book of Five Rings and his final precepts. It is not a literal reading — it is a story-driven exploration of what those principles mean when lived, tested, and paid for in reality. These are not gentle guidelines. They are brutal truths: Accept everything exactly as it is. Do not seek pleasure for its own sake. Never be jealous. Do not fear death. Never stray from the Way. Musashi wrote these principles not from a palace, but from Reigandō Cave, after years of isolation spent refining both sword and mind. He entrusted the completed scroll to his student Terao Magonojo shortly before his death — his final transmission. Through the story of a desperate young ronin named Takeshi, this video shows how the twenty-one precepts are learned the only way Musashi believed mattered: through experience. Through hunger, loss, solitude, choice, restraint, and survival in feudal Japan. In a modern world addicted to comfort, validation, distraction, and noise, the Dokkōdō cuts through illusion. It teaches detachment without weakness, solitude without despair, and discipline without ego. This is not motivation. This is warrior philosophy — inspired by Musashi’s writings and spirit — forged for those who refuse to be weak. The scroll survived nearly four centuries. The question is simple: are you strong enough to live by it? Subscribe to ‪@Presence-Purpose‬ for ancient warrior philosophy, strategy, and discipline — adapted for the modern mind.

Animo Flore Defined

While I Am Here I Expect To Tell The Straight, Unvarnished Truth - A Quotation by Andrew T. Still

I expect when I am gone that I will come back every week or so to see what Osteopathy is doing. I want to see if it is run off of I the face of the earth. In the earlier ages the people didn't know anything of medicine, and they lived a long time. The less they knew of it, the more good food they ate and the longer they lived.  Our work here is to overcome the effects of medicine. Nine-tenths of the clients that come here, while they are wrenched and strained in many places in the body, have to be treated first by turning on the nerves of excretory organs of the system, for the purpose of cleaning up the dirty house in which we find the human soul dwelling. What do we find? We find the liver not acting properly, we find some lung affected and stones in the gallbladder. We go a little further down to the renal nerves, veins, and arteries, to those of the kidneys. They are out of order. We go down to the water-bladder and find specimens. Specimens of what? Of the thoughtless stupidity of man, who by taking medicine, has converted the liver into a bank of cinnabar (Google: a bright red to reddish-brown mineral composed of mercury sulfide).Any person in the audience has the privilege of raising your hand and saying I am wrong, if I state anything that is not correct. I am fighting for God and I am going to hit them square in the face. While I am here I expect to tell the straight, unvarnished truth.

Andrew T. Still

Founder of Osteopathy.

Selfishness Results In Tragedies - A Quotation by Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov


Selfishness - it prevents families from avoiding their tragedies

Many problems, even tragedies, in families could be avoided if a little less selfishness were the rule. For example, here is a man totally absorbed by his professional life, who spends his time travelling away from home or in meetings. When he does come home, tired, preoccupied, and often in a bad mood, he falls into an armchair and buries himself in the newspaper, making it quite clear to his wife that he does not want to be bothered with all the problems of the house, the children, and so on. There may be all sorts of signs that his wife is getting fed up with this situation, but he is oblivious. His wife and children are there and the house is in order, so everything is fine. Then, one evening, he comes home and is astonished to find that she has taken the children and left. He cannot understand why. It is a terrible shock from which he cannot recover; he is devastated and goes to consult a psychoanalyst. The situation had been brewing for many years under his very eyes, but he did not notice, because he was so self-centered.

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.

प्रार्थना और ध्यान करें - एम.एन. हॉपकिन्स का एक उद्धरण

प्रार्थना और ध्यान करें और मनुष्य के लिए अनुग्रह का वरदान माँगें। स्वर्ग की दिव्य ज्योति से अपने चारों ओर घिरे रहने और उसे अपने भीतर जीवन-दायक शक्ति से भर लेने के लिए माँगें, और परिणाम देखें। जैसे-जैसे आपके हृदयों में प्रेम बढ़ेगा, आपके भय पिघलने लगेंगे।

প্রার্থনা করুন এবং ধ্যান করুন - এম.এন. হপকিন্সের একটি উক্তি

প্রার্থনা ও ধ্যান করুন এবং মানুষের জন্য অনুগ্রহের দান প্রার্থনা করুন। স্বর্গের ঐশ্বরিক আলো আপনার চারপাশে ছড়িয়ে পড়ুক এবং আপনাকে জীবনের শক্তি দিয়ে পূর্ণ করুক, এর ফলাফল দেখুন। আপনার ভয়গুলো ধীরে ধীরে বিলীন হতে শুরু করবে, কারণ আপনার হৃদয়ে প্রেম বৃদ্ধি পাবে।

ਪ੍ਰਾਰਥਨਾ ਕਰੋ ਅਤੇ ਧਿਆਨ ਲਗਾਓ ਅਤੇ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਲਈ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਦੀ ਦਾਤ ਮੰਗੋ। ਸਵਰਗ ਦੀ ਦਿਵਿਆ ਜ्योति ਲਈ ਪ੍ਰਾਰਥਨਾ ਕਰੋ ਕਿ ਉਹ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਘੇਰ ਲਵੇ ਅਤੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਜੀਵਨ-ਦਾਇਕ ਸ਼ਕਤੀ ਨਾਲ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਭਰ ਦੇਵੇ, ਅਤੇ ਨਤੀਜੇ ਵੇਖੋ। ਜਿਵੇਂ-ਜਿਵੇਂ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਦਿਲਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਿਆਰ ਵਧੇਗਾ, ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਡਰ ਘੁਲਣ ਲੱਗ ਜਾਣਗੇ।
