“A wise man is one who bathes in the waters of wisdom, a fool is one who wallows in the filth of folly. The well of wisdom is not a public place, from which anyone can draw without discrimination. Its entrance is barred to those of the loud mouth, but opens to receive the calm and silent one. Where today, are the people of quiet manner and calm bearing?
“No wise words or well-phrased writings are needed to inform men that the light of the sun exceeds that of the moon, or that he who has toiled through the heat of the day will not lie upon a bed in sleeplessness. Those are things experienced by a few, that are known to the many, that have to be explained. Such are spiritual things, but where, today, are those who have known and experienced them? Who can explain them together?
“Today men seek to gather where they have not planted; they desire the increase, but disdain the effort. They seek to benefit through the toil of others, and unproductive tongues move vigorously, while skilled hands are idle. Man must learn that no more can be taken from the storehouse than was placed there.” ~The Kolbrin Bible ( MAN:19:3-5)
Bathe in Wisdom When You Can
I think most of us would agree that it is better to bathe in wisdom than to wallow in folly. The problem is knowing which is which, and knowing how to get to that well of wisdom. You won’t find it in any college or university. You won’t find it in intellectual persuits of any kind. The well of wisdom is a spiritual thing, and as such, is only accessible by the soul, which must first be awakened and developed. The well of wisdom is in the places of higher levels of consciousness that are reached only by the development of the spiritual faculties and by taking in the Light of the Spiritual Sun. Sadly, we have many today who choose instead to wallow in the illusions of materialism and just simply lies. They believe that what is real is what they wish to be real and accept it as reality. No one makes real progress by living in lies.
Light of the Sun
Certainly, we don’t need to be told that the light of the sun exceeds that of the moon. In fact, the light of the moon is merely a dull reflection of the light of the sun. I certainly hope we are all aware of those facts. Yet despite that knowledge, we have many who consider themselves spiritual, who energize their gems and crystals in the light of the moon. Why when the light of the sun is so much greater? More importantly, the moon represents the dark ones, the demons, while the sun represents angels and God.
Toil through the Day
The Kolbrin Bible is about 3,000 years old and some of its concepts are outdated. It is certainly true that one who does manual labor all day long will probably sleep quite soundly at night. Today, however, the majority of us work at jobs that do not involve much manual labor. The point that is being made here in the Kolbrin Bible is that hard work is a good thing. It doesn’t have to be manual labor and it doesn’t have to be physical at all. Mental and spiritual work is just as important, if not more so. And one who has done his spiritual work and is moving toward the goal of bathing in that well of wisdom will sleep well also, although they may not need that much sleep because spiritual work has a way of reducing the need for sleep.
Taking from the Storehouse
The last paragraph quoted is telling us much about the laws of the realm of nature, in which we live whether we like it or not. Today, books and classes on manifesting are popular and many believe in it. The fact that over ninety percent of the students never manage to manifest what they want is brushed off by the teachers as being a failure to truly believe, or a failure to concentrate on what they want. While there is some truth to that, it isn’t that simple. First, if we are going to manifest something, it should be something spiritual. The material is all around us and there is no need to manifest matter. But if we do choose to manifest a new car, or a new house, etc., we should be aware that we have no right to manifest more than we create, or as the Kolbrin says, we can’t take from the storehouses more than we put it. Some will argue that they know individuals who have manifested many things without doing anything to earn it. That can, in a few cases, happen. What it means is that the person has purchased those goods on credit and the creditor is the demons and dark powers that control the world of matter. They are often happy to do that, but you won’t be happy when they decide it is time to collect payment. The one who bathes in wisdom takes no more than he gives.
