The best way to obtain truth and wisdom is not to ask from books, but to go to God in prayer, and obtain divine teaching.

The Divine wisdom has given us prayer, not as a means whereby to obtain the good things of earth, but as a means whereby we learn to do without them; not as a means whereby we escape evil, but as a means whereby we become strong to meet it.

Oh, My Dear Life! (Old Familiar Feelings)

OH Life! , tell me what to obtain:
Is there bliss in material?
Or joy in worldly attachment?
Where to begin my search, OH Life!

Is there dormant peace detachment?
OH! Life, tell me what to obtain?
What wisdom in silence of mouth?
What profound silence passed through time?

Tell me lust or love? flesh or seed?
Power, prowess, mansion and cars?
OH! Life, tell me how to obtain
eternal pure heart and peace of mind

Can one grasp the totality?
Can it all be had in one grab?
or is just you, oh my dear LIFE!
Oh! dear Life, YOU ARE ALL I ask.

Everyone needs a certain amount of money. Beyond that, we pursue money because we know how to obtain it. We don't necessarily know how to obtain happiness.

(ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh)
(ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh) [dahhhling - mmwah!]
[how dare you? do you know who I am? ]
[you look fabulous! - mmwah!]
I know what you think
Its clear as mud in your eyes
Were the plastic poseurs and prostitutes
Youve obviously come to despise
But you dont know nothing
Youre not hot enough to matter
You dont understand its the glamorous life
A dream that no one can shatter
Were shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame
We have no integrity
Were ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity
Well do anything at all
Im ambitious
Believe me, Im going to be big
Im a slave to glamour
Applause and clamour
My makeup, my wardrobe, my wigs
Dont call me pathetic
Im harder than youll ever guess
Relentlessly tough, for when the going gets rough
The tough get their picture in the press
Were shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame
We have no integrity
Were ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity
Well do anything at all
(anything, anything, anything at all)
(well do anything, anything, anything at all)
(well do anything, anything, anything at all)
(well do anything, anything, anything at all)
[its going perfectly alright]
[how dare you? do you know who I am? ]
[its an absolute disgrace]
Tell me you love me
Admit it, youre really impressed
Would it not amuse you
For me to seduce you
Have you ever seen me undressed?
Were shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame (give me fifteen minutes)
We have no integrity
Were ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity
Well do anything at all
Were shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame (give me fifteen minutes)
We have no integrity
Were ready to crawl to obtain celebrity
Well do anything
With anyone
Go absolutely anywhere
For anything
At all
(ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh) [Im terribly sorry]

Ordinary

I could make a list, it'd take all day,
To tell you what we're not. We aren't,
And won't be, millionaires, or movie
Stars, or landed gentry, lolling with
Our dogs and horses on our hundred-
Acre lawns. We won't be lords of
Commerce holding court in boardrooms
In the sky. We will not win the public's
Eyes with words or pictures, nor will we,
It seems, obtain the critics' praise, and
We won't build the perfect geegaw,
Torture nature into telling secrets
She had held before, or rule a nation,
Ruthlessly or otherwise, or otherwise
Obtain the slightest status or renown.
In other words, we won't prevail,
As we may once have hoped we would.
At best, we will persist. Is that
Enough?

It Is There to Tease

There is no wisdom obtain,
Alone.
Or stranded on an island,
One may condone.

Some may wish to try this.
Perhaps self inflicting it.
But a thirst is quenched...
To nourish what is missing.

An absence,
Does not stop the hunger.
Once a taste has been satisfied...
There will be a longing for more.

And a craving to explore,
A temptation presented...
Can not be ignored.
Not if it is there to tease.

Quatrain #459 - The knowledge and or experience of God.......

The knowledge and or experience of God is very real
that to have a glimpse of It one must have much zeal.
The person who strives for the Truth with sincerity and devotion
will obtain the grace to know the Reality above any false notion.

Embarrassing Predicament

If everything had been given to him,
As has been rumored and believed.
Where did he obtain that work ethic from?
And how was that achieved?

'That is what has been given to him.
And that is what folks unbelieving,
Can not conceive.
Although that is clearly seen! '

But if he is the lazy one...
What have the others done?

'Good question.
Perhaps that is why they remain in hiding.
There is nothing like the exposure of full disclosure.
Or the silence heard from one producing.
Unseduced by rumors, innuendo or slander.'

Or an embarrassing predicament,
Experienced by fools with minds confused.
Who still find excuses to meander.

'Either way.
He gets done what he does,
With very little to say.
He needs to be teaching that.'

These Times Lived Have Left Those Times Behind

There is no preventing those
Who choose their influence
To deceive with a prefabrication of truth
They do it as if credible
With a leading of the ones who follow
To believe in anything
They say and do

And conflict those who lie can raise
Just based upon innuendo
As long as they know
An attention can be obtained
With truth and honesty not a goal to achieve
Nor obtain to maintain
To keep one's popularity
These times lived have left those times behind

'Anything I have said before
Has nothing to do what I say to you now
Are there any other questions? '

Claimed to Confirm

If a depthness of thought one has is rumored,
It is best for the one that is claimed to have it...
To keep it rumored.
Not claimed to confirm.
To claim it is to acknowledge that process of thought,
One has...
Is noticeable and may offend those who depend on rumor,
To obtain their wisdom and knowledge.

Totally Illogical

Did you work for that jersey?
Or the new springs on your feet
Did you slave as a janitor
Or did pop-pop and grammy
Cast their dollars
Freely among you

Study at school
Like the sweaty-toothed madman
Obtain that knowledge
From those books
Go fishing without any hooks

Swim against the stream
Believe not always
What your educators tell you
Make up your own minds
They're yours
Not theirs

It's alright at times
To be bad
Just never, ever make the illogical
Nonsense
Like your dad

Where Is The Beginning Of Wisdom?

Fear of God
is the beginning
of Wisdom.

Where is truth
where is wisdom?

Who has
knows hears
can discern
true wisdom?

The truth
true Wisdom
is crying out

aloud in the very
street in public squares
true Wisdom keeps
giving forth its voice.

Who has wisdom
who receives wisdom
who treasures wisdom?

Who indeed
is a seeker
of the moral

benefits
of Wisdom

in contemporary
scientific
unprecedented age?

From what source
does true wisdom come?
Who gives teaches
precious wisdom freely?

Adonai the LORD
himself gives wisdom
from out of God’s

mouth come
knowledge understanding
discernment.

Who did God
promise wisdom too?

Adonai the LORD
said if you will receive
my sayings accept

my words treasure
store up my commands
within yourself?

If you will
pay attention turning
your ear to wisdom

incline apply
your heart
to understanding

discernment;

if you call out
for insight cry aloud
for understanding

if you look
keep seeking for it
as for silver

search for it
as for hidden treasure,
then you will

understand
the fear of the LORD
find the knowledge

of God.

What then
is thy reward?

Adonai holds
success in store
for the upright.

Adonai will
treasure up practical
wisdom.

Adonai is a shield
to those walking
blameless in integrity.

But sly Satan said
this is a scientific
unprecedented age

so much is not
black and white
but shades of grey

little white
lies are
needed today.

Adonai said if you
will pay attention
turning your ear to

wisdom

incline apply
your heart
to understanding

discernment;

if you call out
for insight cry aloud
for understanding

Adonai the Lord
will be your shield
observing judgement

guarding the way
of his loyal ones
Adonai the Lord

guards the course
of the just protects
all the ways of his

faithful ones.

The faithful will
understand
all righteousness.

What is right just fair
the entire course
of every good path.

Truly Satan said
how can any man
obtain such wisdom?

Adonai said Wisdom
will enter their heart
and knowledge will be

pleasant to their soul.

Adonai said “thinking
ability itself will
keep guard over you”

discernment
itself will
protect you

understanding
will guard you
such knowledge

is infinitely more
than the beginning
of Wisdom.

Fear of God
is the beginning
of Wisdom.

Prayer For You

All I see is the truth now
Thats all I want you to know
That Ill never turn my back on you
And leave you out there on your own
I could never hide my feelings
I could never let you fall
And I want you to remember
All the love that Ive found
Oh, I say a prayer
A prayer for you
Oh, for you
I could never make a promise
Id only break it in the end
Then youre looking for the answers
Youd never trust in me again
I could never watch you suffer
I could never let you down
And I hope you soon discover
All the truth that Ive now found
Oh, I say a prayer
A prayer for you
Oh, for you
Oh, I say a prayer
A prayer for you
Oh, for you

What Is Truth?

What is Truth? said those of old,
Who, oft warned by Israel's God,
Whose daring deeds, then all untold,
Brought down on them the Avenger's rod.

What is Truth? was asked by one
Whom Israel had been taught to fear,
Whilst, with scorn, he looked upon
The very truth that was so near.

What is Truth? said Pilate, when
The truth had reached his inmost heart
Washing clean his hands again,
In murder, said he'd have no part.

What is Truth? the sland'rer says—
Is it to blast my neighbours' name;
Them defaming all my days—
Acting as though I had no shame?

What is Truth? the tyrant said,
Whilst he enslav'd his fellow-man:
Now my will shall be obey'd,
For who my right will dare to scan?

What is Truth? the miser says,
While counting o'er his ill-got gain:
What care I for her good ways,
So I the 'yellow dross' obtain.

What is Truth? the sceptic says,
While doubt and fears annoy his path:
Shall I heed her peaceful ways,
Or meet at last indignant wrath?

What is Truth? the Christian cries,
Publishing a Saviour's love,
While from earth to heaven he hies—
To the starry realms above.

What is Truth? I may not tell—
What is 'the Truth' shall be made known;
What is Truth, remember well,
Is firm as God's eternal throne!

Creating Keys

Just because those who 'have',
Opposed to those who 'have not'...
Seem to possess keys,
To a treasure chest they can unlock.
Does not mean they obtain a wisdom,
To know how to use...
What has been given to maintain happiness.
Or replace keys when lost,
Without being instructed.

Only those creating 'keys',
Can reproduce them effectively.
And...
They may not be the ones to rise to the top.
But their knowledge is visited repeatedly.
Whether this is mentioned,
Or given an acknowledgement.

Nothing rises alone to suspend on top,
Without 'something' of support to keep it held there.
