Luke 6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good . . . for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
1 Kings 4:32 Solomon also spoke three thousand parables: and his poems were a thousand and five.
John 16:25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: the hour cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but shall tell you plainly of the Father.
Proverbs by Papi
It was said concerning Solomon that the “half” story was never told when in fact it undoubtedly took a personal visit before that illustrious King in order to make that personal discovery.
In the fullness of time, then present, it was said of Jesus, that he was the Christ, the Anointed Incarnation, Yeshua HaMashiach, that the Greater than King Solomon had come. He was said to be Greater than the witness of John the Baptizer, Greater than the temple in Jerusalem, Greater than the Prophet Jonah … and yet … in virtuous humility and making no reputation of himself beyond measure of revelation; He said My Father is Greater than I.
He was said to have promised that none could then be greater as servant to himself as Master, but that those chosen could be equal to the Master being divinely taught. Then … in proclaiming even greater works than he had performed would be done by those who would receive the same holy unction from on high and thereby gain the knowledge of ALL things … He departed to make the promise so unto those who came to believe His words.
Proverbs by Papi are likewise set down from the abundance of the heart, and because of belief in that promise, and because of that unction – rivers of living water flow out of the belly. Just as an innumerable host has set pen and sword to doctrine and philosophy and personal accumulations of knowledgeable insight for centuries – here – are just a few from Papi.
Having spiritually examined these things through allowable inquiry, they are set to challenge the reader to make questions in order that profound answers may be discovered. Precepts never divulge the hidden and complete story; they merely unlock the door that the mystery may be sounded. – Papi Proverb 60
Papi’s varied, original quips primarily fall into seven distinct categories: 1Cerebral, 2Challenging or Riddle, 3Concerning Love, 4Directional, 5Kabbalistic, 6Ominous, and 7Practical. They have exponentially grown over years of study through prayer and meditation to well over one thousand now penned as thoughts to share. These Mishlei, or Proverbs, are taken from the inner expression list of Papi, in order to share with contemplative and intellectual kindred spirits. Deliberately progressive in nature, and a few of thousands received by Papi; they are penned and designed to prompt the reader to separate from the self-defeating carnality of mind, in order to find wisdom and spiritual understanding by the renewal of mind.
Philosophical visions, or as it were on one level of examination – hidden wisdom seen and understood, and moral religious thought and practice have a way of crossing paths in spiritual zones of truth; and the inspiration to share these things is given from on high, as a Holy unction, and is therefore never taken presumptuously to one’s own honor.
All these have come directly from “The Complete and Collective Spirit” called “ONE” and were channeled through the incomplete and collecting spirit also called one – “Papi.” None are borrowed from another’s list, and not all summations will echo Christianity to the dismay of some. However; hiding truth by reason and in rhyme is how some pass their time here; and many discover the same secrets. I have a Muslim friend that looks me in the eye when we discuss knowing God; and the honor of something other than self that resided in the heart of a true Samurai warrior could hardly be seen through the exterior armor that cloaked him in battle whereby he delivered his heart, mind, and soul.
From our finite position in the universe, we as Anointed Sons of אלהים יהוה, for better or worse are the manifestation for whom all the infinite creation awaits. Truth, whether expressed in the simplistic mockery of a fool, or presented by the most profound and lengthy statement of a wise sage walking in the presence of HaShem and challenging the traditions of men, is still truth. Truth was established long before opinion was seeded. The word of truth divided rightly sets us free. Some words are comical, some inflammatory or misunderstood, some rich and received, while others are mocked and rejected. All words are, however, communicative and should be examined for truth, for not all words can be spoken to all souls because not all souls are yet ready to hear them.
May the “fear of the Lord” that initiates the wisdom of HaShem of Our Father encouragingly grant your embark in safety and permission; for not all men are allowed to travel the path that the eye of the vulture has not seen as spoken of in Job 28:7.
Again, may Our Supernal Father richly reward the zigzag endeavors of your journey herein this age until you are drawn to the center, and find wisdom’s straight and narrow path, to find the Creator’s Revelation; the Revelation of who HE is – and why – we and all things – EXIST.
WE EXIST – TO EXIST.
Papi
