「他們無非是新酒灌滿了。」

「你們想這些人是醉了；其實不是醉了，因為時候剛到已初。」

「在那些日子， 我要將我的靈澆灌我的僕人和使女， 他們就要說預言。」

「酒能使人褻慢，濃酒使人喧嚷； 凡因酒錯誤的，就無智慧。」

「不要醉酒，酒能使人放蕩；乃要被聖靈充滿。」

「誰有禍患？誰有憂愁？ 誰有爭鬥？誰有哀歎？ 誰無故受傷？誰眼目紅赤？ 就是那流連飲酒、 常去尋找調和酒的人。 酒發紅，在杯中閃爍， 你不可觀看， 雖然下咽舒暢， 終久是咬你如蛇，刺你如毒蛇。 你眼必看見異怪的事； 你心必發出乖謬的話。 你必像躺在海中， 或像臥在桅杆上。 你必說：人打我，我卻未受傷； 人鞭打我，我竟不覺得。 我幾時清醒，我仍去尋酒。」

「酒醉的人哪，要清醒哭泣； 好酒的人哪，都要為甜酒哀號， 因為從你們的口中斷絕了。」

「屬靈的人能看透萬事，卻沒有一人能看透了他。」

‭‭

酒，聖靈；放蕩，看透；黑暗，光明；世界，天國；墮落，升高。

沉淪，清醒。

陰，陽

二元之中最古老的二元。

別回應巷子裏的招手，也不要直視奴隸的眼睛，不要躺在外女的懷抱。因為在暗處多有詭詐，綑在繩索中的目光多有苦毒；恐怕你睜眼的時候孤身一人，才發現心被奪去，撒在街上，任人踐踏。

離開那暗處，踏進光明吧!縱然太陽灼熱難耐，但不是所不能承受的。弟兄們，讓那光照亮你一切的暗處，潔淨你一切的污穢吧！請看，溫柔的暗湧是腐爛人心的，刺眼的光芒卻是良藥。

Wine and The Spirit

17-09-2023

“These men are full of new wine.”

“For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.”

“And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:”

“Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: And whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”

‭‭“And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;”

“Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? Who hath contentions? Who hath babbling? Who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; They that go to seek mixed wine. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, When it giveth his colour in the cup, When it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, And stingeth like an adder. Thine eyes shall behold strange women, And thine heart shall utter perverse things. Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, Or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; They have beaten me, and I felt it not: When shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.”

“Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.”

“But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.”

Wine, The Spirit; In excess, Judgeth all things; The Darkness, The Light; the world, Heaven; Damnation, Ascension.

Perdition, Awakening.

Chaos and Order

The most archaic duality of dualities. 

Be not enticed by gestures in the alley, do not look slaves in the eye, do not lay in the arms of immoral woman. For there is much guile in the dark, there is much resentment in the trapped eye; lest when thou open thy eye in solitude, then realize thy heart was taken, scattered across the street under the crowd’s feet. 

Rid thyself of the dark and come in the Light! Though the Sun will scorch thy skin, yet not above that ya are able. Brethren, let the Light shine upon all thy darkness, let it cleanse thee of thy filth! Behold, gentle undercurrent rots the heart, yet the blinding glare does good like a medicine.
