Proverbs 2: Guidance for a Student

1 My (spiritual) son, if thou wilt receive my words (gnosis), and hide my commandments with thee (store this knowledge in your heart and mind);

2 So that thou incline thine ear (attention) unto wisdom (Chokmah, Christ), and apply thine heart to understanding (Binah, Holy Spirit);

3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge (Gnosis), and givest thy mind (psyche, soul) for understanding (to receive Binah, the Holy Spirit, the sacred Fire);

4 If thou seekest her (Sophia, the Divine Mother Kundalini) as silver (moon, related to conception: seek Gnosis as you seek for the birth of your soul), and searchest for her as for hid treasures (which are found within you);

5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge (Gnosis, Daath) of God.

6 For the LORD (Adonai) giveth wisdom (Christ): out of his mouth (as a sword) cometh knowledge (gnosis) and understanding (fire of Binah).

7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous (who seek to be perfect as their Heavenly Father is perfect): he is a buckler (shield) to them that walk uprightly (in proper observance of His commands).

8 He keepeth the paths of (karmic) judgment, and preserveth the way (path to liberation) of his saints (buddhas, "awakened ones").

9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness (virtue), and (karmic) judgment, and equity (the law of the balance); yea, every good path.

10 When wisdom (Christ) entereth into thine heart, and knowledge (Daath, Gnosis) is pleasant unto thy soul;

11 Discretion (hermetic silence) shall preserve thee (when among fools), understanding (Holy Spirit; CHASTITY) shall keep thee (when tempted by desires):

12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man (your neighbors who do not want Gnosis), from the man that speaketh subversive things (corrupting the minds of others);

13 Who leave the (spiral and straight) paths of uprightness (Chastity, Charity and Sanctity), to walk in the ways of darkness (Klipoth, the path of materialism and identification with sensation);

14 Who rejoice to do evil (selfish acts), and delight in the subversiveness of the wicked (who rule this entire humanity);

15 Whose ways are crooked (self-loving, proud and arrogant), and they are subversive (liars) in their paths:

16 To deliver thee from (the wives of the fallen Adam): the adulteress (Nahemah, the whore, mother of malignant beauty, passion and adultery), even from the loose woman (Lilith is the mother of abortions, homosexuality and in general, all kinds of crimes against Nature) which flattereth with her (seductive) words (in the media, television, movies, books, and through her disciples, all the men and women who worship fornication);

17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

18 For her house (teachings) inclineth unto (the second) death (devolution in the infernal worlds), and her paths unto the (spiritually) dead.

19 None that go unto her return again (until their soul is cleanse of all ego), neither take they hold of the paths of life (until their karma is paid).

20 That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous (virtuous; that is, kill your ego, and cultivate virtue, so that thou may ascend to Christ).

21 For the upright shall dwell in the land (of the Father, for a while), and the perfect (who have no ego at all) shall remain in it (because the ego is dead in them).

22 But the wicked (those who still have pride, fear, lust, envy, etc) shall be cut off from the (new) earth (the future Golden Age), and the transgressors (karmic debtors) shall be rooted out of it (to pay what they owe).
