| 1 Wisdom hath
builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars: |
| 2 She hath killed
her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table. |
| 3 She hath sent
forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city, |
| 4 Whoso is simple,
let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, |
| 5 Come, eat of my
bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled. |
| 6 Forsake the
foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding. |
|
| Wisdom has built her house of
spirit, and has uncovered her seven pillars of perfection, or the Christ vision of love
and forgiveness. Wisdom has transcended her lower, selfish self and all its unloving
thoughts, or beasts. She has mingled her wine with Christ, and by revelation sees only the
oneness of all creation. The thoughts of separation are gone. Wisdom furnishes her table only from the flesh of Christ
and spirit. This comes from the thoughts of love alone. Wisdom knows that her daily bread
comes from mediating on, and committing to within, all the words and thoughts of love.
Wisdom has sent forth her maidens, or thoughts of
love and holiness, to greet the bridegroom. They have allowed only the thoughts of love
and holiness to enter, and have kept watch over their minds and hearts. Their lamps shine
full with the light of love and forgiveness. Wisdom shines forth her maidens, or witnesses
of love, to all and finds only love in what she seeks. Wisdom calls from the highest
mountain, or the Lord of love within, to all saying,
"If you want understanding, come forth to
me. Listen to me, and eat of my bread, or words of love and forgiveness. Drink of my wine
of oneness and holiness, and join with all your brothers in perfection. Forsake and leave
the ways of the foolish, who live in the way of fear, attack, and separation. Walk the
path of understanding on the narrow way to love, oneness, and perfection forever."
Amen. |

| 7 He that
reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man
getteth himself a blot. |
| 8 Reprove not a
scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. |
| 9 Give instruction
to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he
will increase in learning. |
| 10 The fear of
the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. |
| 11 For by me thy
days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased. |
| 12 If thou be
wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear
it. |
|
| He that reproves, or finds fault
with a scorner, will bring to himself the same shame. A scorner magnifies himself and
considers others worthless or beneath him. By finding fault with your brother, you must
find fault with yourself. Choose, instead, to look only upon the Lord of love within all,
and consider all appearances of evil as unreality and lessons that come for your benefit
and vision of forgiveness. He that rebukes
a wicked man will bring the same blot on himself. What your brother is, you are. And as
you have given your thoughts to your brother, so shall you receive. You are one in spirit
with God and His whole creation. All have and share the mind of spirit, no matter what ego
role, or costume, they choose to portray. Speak not disapprovingly to the scorner, for his
vision is not yet ready to see. He will react in fear and hate to protect his ego,
separate self that he thinks he is. Ego, or lower self, cannot be reproved in any way, or
it feels threatened and must project the blame outside of itself on others, and dispise
the person the reproof came from.
Give rebuke to a wise man, and he will love you.
He will not attack, as he does not see himself separate. He knows that to offend another
is to only offend yourself. The wise man seeks for truth and changes his behavior if it
will bring him closer to his self of love within. The wise man listens only to the counsel
of the Holy Spirit. The wise man has left his ego, separate self teacher behind. He seeks
for wisdom and understanding and becomes wiser. His inside teacher may reprove him in
love, but the wise man knows that reproof by the Holy Spirit in love leads to life,
wisdom, and understanding. The reverence of the Lord of love within all is the beginning
of all wisdom.
The knowledge of the truth of the being of God's
creation is vision in holiness. For by wisdom are thy days multiplied and the years of thy
life increased. Live life in thoughts of holiness and love, and the light within you will
be multiplied until it takes over your entire being. Live life in the thoughts of
holiness, and you will leave the dream of spiritual death to transcend to spiritual life.
If you act in the wisdom of your inner teacher,
you will be wise. Abundance, peace, understanding, and happiness will follow you. But if
you listen to the ego spirit, or separate self, and scorn others, you will bear the burden
of your judgement and condemnation yourself. Pain, depression, lack, and sickness will
follow you.
But there is no need to follow the wrong teacher
and scorn others. Change your thoughts to love and holiness, change your teacher to the
Holy Spirit, and change your house to the house of spirit, love, and forgiveness forever.
Amen. |

| 13 A foolish
woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing. |
| 14 For she
sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city, |
| 15 To call
passengers who go right on their ways: |
| 16 Whoso is simple,
let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to
him, |
| 17 Stolen waters
are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. |
| 18 But he knoweth
not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the
depths of hell. |
|
| The harlot, or ego self of the
world, is demanding, complaining, and easily misled from one whim of doctrine to another,
as she is still searching. Ego searches but does not find, as ego is searching for life's
answers in the wrong place. Ego searches outside itself for the answers to life which can
only be found within. Ego sits in the door
of her house of desolation and calls to others to sympathize with her. She complains and
demands answers. But answers are not found in complaining and demanding, but within in
quietness, peace, and sincerity. Ego understands not that projecting blame outside oneself
and demanding sacrifice brings no answers. Love does not try to run another's life. Love
gives the thought of role freedom to all and sends loving thoughts, no matter what role a
brother may choose to play in the role of his salvation.
Love sees not the self of rottenness but the self
of love of all creation, and what love sees she brings to herself in true abundance and
peace. As love sees, so she is. Love steals not the waters and eats not the bread of ego
in secret. Love partakes not of the bread of ego or its stolen waters. The bread and water
of ego lead only to spiritual death and hell.
Love partakes only of the thoughts of spirit. She
feeds continously on the thoughts of love to nourish and build herself back to the total
awareness of life, truth, and the reality of love. The thoughts of the harlot, or bread of
fear and waters of attack, nourish not the soul. Man can only receive life from thoughts
that give life. Life cannot be found in thoughts of darkness, death, and fear. Feed only
on the thoughts of light, love, holiness, peace, and perfection, and transcend the harlot
of the world, or ego self. Transcend ego self to the holy, annointed one, the Christ self,
the loving son of God. Feed only on spirit's thoughts, as a little leaven of fear will
still cause pain and suffering. Feed on love, and drop the bread, or thoughts, of fear now
and forever. Amen. |

| Stolen waters are
sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. |
|
| Ego bread cannot be eaten in
secret. Man may think that he can steal a little of the water and bread of fear and
attack, and no one will know. He may think it is pleasant and sweet to project blame out
on someone or some thing else outside himself. But projecting blame outside oneself still
does not cure the cause and the effects of fear and its manifestations. These
manifestations of fear will still be in man's life until he chooses to change his source
of thought from fear to love. The cause of
any problem is always a thought within that is ignorant of truth. All false thoughts must
be dropped for their effects to stop. This can be done only by the gentle guidance of the
Holy Spirit in love as He leads you out of the world of false thoughts to the world of
truth and love.
The temple must be cleansed from within. All
stones of ego false thought must be brought down. When all ego thoughts are gone, then the
temple of desolation is ready to be rebuilt unto the temple of spirit. The new Jerusalem
is not built by the thoughts of bloodshed, judgement, fear, and murder. The new Jerusalem
is built on the foundation stone of Christ thoughts, or loving, forgiving thoughts and
vision. The lion will lie down with the lamb. The ego self will be retrained to love, and
love will again reign supreme in all of man's heart. All will be love and peace and
forgiveness forever. Amen. |
