PROVERBS 7
Warning Against the Adulterous Woman
7 My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you.2 Keep my commands and you will live; guard my teachings as the apple of your eye.3 Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” and to insight, “You are my relative.”5 They will keep you from the adulterous woman, from the wayward woman with her seductive words.

PROVERBS Chapter 5
Warning Against Adultery
My son, pay attention to my wisdom, turn your ear to my words of insight,2 that you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge.3 For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil;4 but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword.5 Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave.6 She gives no thought to the way of life; her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.

My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart,2 for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity.
3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.4 Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.

PROVERBS 2
My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you,2 turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding—3 indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding,4 and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.6 For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.7 He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,8 for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.

If there comes a time when you resent your teacher, you have become your own teacher; and you must relinquish your expectations of such former teacher. Resentment is the product of contempt and the ego; both of which are cataclysms. After contempt for a teaching ha been acknowledged, the ego presents itself. Regardless of the validity of the ego’s claim, the added contempt limits your judgement, creating learning barriers.

“The million occasions will come to us all, in the ordinary paths of our life, in our homes, and by our firesides, wherein we may act as nobly, as if, all our life long, we led armies, sat in senates, or visited beds of sickness and pain. Varying every hour, the million occasions will come in which we may restrain our passions, subdue our hearts to gentleness and patience, resign our own interest for another’s advantage, speak words of kindness and wisdom, raise the fallen, cheer the fainting and sick in spirit, and soften and assuage the weariness and bitterness of their mortal lot. To every Mason there will be opportunity enough for these. They cannot be written on his tomb; but they will be written deep in the hearts of men, of friends, of children, of kindred all around him, in the book of the great account, and, in their eternal influences, on the great pages of the Universe.”

Stay Happy
“I just think about happy things.”
Don Adams
God is Kind, but Stern.
“Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.”
ROMANS 11:22
Breathe-In
Moderately-Controlled
Make the aura around you flow of purple water- It’s current- Strong, Revolutionary of itself. When you notice that your focus has been lost Breathe-In Moderately-Controlled down through your Sacral Chakra, Circulating the inside of the chakra; condensing it’s outer physical membrane.

“Reason is the Gods’ greatest gift to man. I would not dream of criticizing yours, but other men can reason rightly, too.”
Haemon, Antigone , third episode
When asking How to help others, she said,
“You cannot help anybody; all you can do isBe the Beam of Light.”
Carolina Zachariah
In other words, you cannot help people who do not realize they need help, or do not want help.
All we can do is be the example of what we want others to be.

Life Advice:
“Just accept it as it is.”
Matt Kaufner
When an intellectual conversation dissolves into a self-loathing proclamation…
“The Answer,” they seek cannot materialize. Instead, the, “investigation,” becomes a self-exploration, describing the whole of humanity, fueled by pent-up emotion (which they want to share,) consequently being extinguished by the arrogant affect of being the observer attempting to objectively observe itself. As a picture of a pencil cannot draw itself, the human attempting to reconcile with its own cognitive dissonance by way of cognition is the same as the ocean attempting to dry itself off by splashing around!

“You don’t have to understand it, the thing is you just need to start moving in a direction of the rest of the world and God will guide you in the direction you’re supposed to go.”

“Many nations will come from afar to the name of the Lord God, bearing gifts in their hands, gifts for the King of heaven.”

A Message to Aspiring Brethren:

“It is useless to reason with those whose confidence is not shaken in the face of impossibilities, whose imagination can bridge all gulfs in evidence by fantastic suppositions.”
Arthur Edward Waite; Doctrine and Literature of the Kabala (page 116)
As it says in the Bible, in the book of MATTHEW: “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet and turn and tear you to pieces.”
MATTHEW 7:6

“Let the Righteous Smite Me!”
PSALM 141:5
Doing nothing at a time when nothing can be done has never been my strongpoint. Being a man who cares about reforming culture to some moral rectitude of accountability has been an exhausting mental exercise of futility. To say that society has lost its responsibilities is a gross understatement! Martin Luther King, Jr., George Washington and James Madison all have one attribute in common. Let us call that characteristic, “Redemption ”.

“Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
and its circuit to the end of them;
and there is nothing hid from its heat.”
God hath pitched a tent.
“… and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. …”
“… yet their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, …”

“… so I left him there with the prince of the kingdom of Persia and came to make you understand what is to befall your people in the latter days.”
Said, Archangel, Michael
“How can my lord’s servant talk with my lord? For now no strength remains in me, and no breath is left in me.” Again one having the appearance of a man touched me and strengthened me. And he said, “O man greatly beloved, fear not, peace be with you; be strong and of good courage.” And when he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”
DANIEL 10:13-30
“Do not be afraid; you will be safe. But praise God for ever.”
-Archangel, Raphael
Said Raphael:
“ I will not conceal anything from you. I have said, ‘It is good to guard the secret of a king, but gloriously to reveal the works of God.’

“while Eleazar was publicly to read aloud the holy scroll. Giving the watchword of “God’s help,” Judas took command of the first military unit and attacked Nicanor.”
2 Maccabees 8:23
You Cannot Witness Yourself.
“If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. There is another who testifies in my favor, and I know that his testimony about me is true.”
JOHN 5:31-32
Of a man who chooses not to see the light, neither all the books in the world may enlighten him; and for a man who sees the light, a single word is too much! As we are surrounded by (and ruled by,) self-deceiving people, the only recompense is to constantly and instantly forgive them. Be an example of the Great Light which shineth from above.

Justice is not neccissarily the ultimate result of the righteous and correct; justice is defined only by the ignorantly powerful minority .
