Are we yoked to the Ox? At the end, I will show the oath we cannot remember. We took that oath before coming to Earth in a Baptism of water. We
cannot be here unless we took that oath. Amnesia keeps us from duplicity.
Before you read this, make sure you have covered Part One:
How Dare the Bible Call the
Atheist Foolish! Use the Lexicon linked in the previous thread. It's free to save on your computer.
Acts 13 for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.
The opening of the letters and words to mankind starts with recognition of the Aleph Bet (Father). So simple, even a child can reason this as an
impossibility apart from divine knowledge of the beginning and end. It's woven as a fabric that cannot be denied. It's a robe of information that
can be felt and touched in the mind.
In the previous thread, I was answering a post with this: "I can do a simple task right now, not even knowing what I will write next. I will simply
look up the meaning of perform a work from the lexicon and see what I get. Completely random:"
This is what came of the search. At the time, I hadn't realized that Aleph Lamed was the opposite of the word I covered in the last thread, Lamed
Aleph. They are a chiral mirror to each other.
Work a Work, or perform a work is Lexicon word Oath, or word root 1012 (Yoke) Aleph Lamed.
Here is what it says:
Aleph Lamed. AL.
"AL) ac: Yoke co: Ox
ab: Strength: The pictograph ALeph is a
picture of an ox head and also represents
its strength. The Lamed is a picture of a
shepherd staff and also represents the
authority of the shepherd. Combined
these two pictographs mean "the strong
authority" and can be anyone or thing of
strong authority. The yoke is understood
as a "staff on the shoulders" (see Isaiah
9:4) in order to harness their power for
pulling loads such as a wagon or plow.
Hence, the two pictographs can also
represent "the ox in the yoke". Often two
oxen were yoked together. An older,
more experienced ox would be teamed up
(yoked) with a younger, less experienced
ox. The older ox in the yoke is the "strong
authority" who, through the yoke, teaches
the younger ox."
In the OP, I covered Lamed Aleph, the word Without, meaning outside and not inside. The Atheist is yolked to the OX outside. The believer is yolked
from the inside. One pushes and the other pulls.
Return to my Suffering symbol.
R ----------------> S -------------> R
Taking (thief) reward leads to suffering. This is the Ox pushing back. Suffering (giving) on purpose leads to true Reward. This is the Ox pulling.
When we smoke, we suffer ill health. This is taking reward leading to suffering. When we work out in a gym, we suffer on purpose, leading to true
reward. In the end, Wisdom is the ability to suffer for the correct reasons, being pulled along by the Ox. When Genesis said we would toil for our
food (knowledge), this is the solution (wisdom) to the struggle.
As Buddha says in the Dhammapada:
We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with an impure mind
And trouble will follow you
As the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart.
We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with a pure mind
And happiness will follow you
As your shadow, unshakable.
"Look how he abused me and hurt me,
How he threw me down and robbed me."
Live with such thoughts and you live in hate.
"Look how he abused me and hurt me,
How he threw me down and robbed me."
Abandon such thoughts, and live in love.
In this world
Hate never yet dispelled hate.
Only love dispels hate.
This is the law,
Ancient and inexhaustible.
Wisdom is a seed. It is my prayer this seed grows in the hearts of all who read this thread.
Next word on the same root is Oath, or Doing a work:
Ox ab:
Oath: The power of the oxs muscles
to perform work.
Nm)AL) — Power:
One who holds authority over
others such as judges, chiefs and
gods. In the sense of being
yoked to one another.
Oath: A binding agreement
including the curse for violating
the oath.
Most importantly, we are here under inconscience as a baptism of water. Life is that baptism. Since we have amnesia, we cannot remember the oath we
took to be here. Where were we before?
1 Peter 3
18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in
the Spirit. 19 After being made alive,[d] he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits— 20 to those who were disobedient long ago when
God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, 21 and this
water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God.[e] It saves
you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission
to him.
Resurrection from the dead is based on the oath to be here. When we heard the proclamation, we answered it with an oath. What does it mean to be
without that oath? The letters and words just told us.
Please consult Part One linked at the top. There, I showed you the Tav, or Plowman's mark. Consult this thread for a complete description of the TAV
as a mark to hit with your ox pulling you:
