Words of Wisdom 01 (May 08 - Oct 08)

On desire :-

Do not want anything that belongs to someone else.

Exodus 20:17

[winston]

You are joy, looking for a way to express. It’s not just that your purpose is joy, it is that you are joy.

You are love and joy and freedom and clarity expressing. Energy—frolicking and eager—that’s who you are. And so, if you’re always reaching for alignment with that, you’re always on your path, and your path will take you into all kinds of places.

We will not deny that you will not discover miracles and create benefits and be involved in creation, and that you will not uplift humanity…we will not say that you will not find satisfaction in so many things that you create, but we can’t get away from the acknowledgment that you are Pure Positive Energy that translates into the human emotion of joy.

Word to the Wise: Sesquipedalian

"Sesquipedalian" (ses-kwuh-puh-DAYL-yun) - from the Latin for "a foot and a half long" - refers to the practice of using overly long words when smaller words would do.

Example (as used by William C. Martin in The Atlantic): "They walk and speak with disdain for common folk, and never miss a chance to belittle the crowd in sesquipedalian put-downs."

[winston]

The Divine is sugar. You may drop it into tea or coffee or milk or water. Into whatever thing you put it, it will make it sweet. Sweetness is His nature, sweetness is his signature. If you melt the sugar, there is neither water nor sugar, but a third thing called sugar syrup, which also gives sweetness.

If your tongue is bitter through hatred, envy and pride, you cannot feel any sweetness. Get rid of the illness and you can enjoy the sweetness that the Divine really is!

Mar, 1963

On Love:-

An ancient piece of wisdom: The passion of love bursting into flame is more powerful than death, stronger than the grave. Love cannot be drowned by oceans or floods; it cannot be bought, no matter what is offered.

Song of Songs 8:6-7

[winston]

Genius. It is just attention to something specific. That's all it is. Law of Attraction makes it happen, and so anyone who gives attention to any subject for a period of time will evolve in the direction of that understanding.

On generosity:-

Paul wrote: Be honest and work hard, so you will have something to give to people in need.

Ephesians 4:28

[winston]

Word to the Wise: Wheedle

To "wheedle" (WEE-d'l) - possibly from the Old English for "beg" - is to gain or get by using flattery or guile.

Example (as used by Ronald Weber in Hired Pens): "Editors who wished to carry original work rather than reprints found it necessary to wheedle contributions from readers by decrying inexperience as a reason for not taking up the pen and by offering prizes for submissions."

[winston]

The emotion you feel is always about the vibrational variance between where you want to be and where you are.

If you're out of balance, there are only two ways to bring yourself into alignment: Either raise your expectation to match your desire—or lower your desire to match your expectation.

Word to the Wise: Vapid

"Vapid" (VAP-id) - from the Latin for "spiritless" - means lacking liveliness, taste, or zest.

Example (as used by Anatole Broyard in The New York Times): "One year he was writing vapid and sentimental mediocrities, and the next he was turning out one of the best poems of our century."
