Notes About The Poem
In the below write i acknowledge that we should Not cast our pearls before swine.' Yet i am sure i Do such... The thing is for me i am not all knowing So i have to see the reaction of the entity before I know if its a pig..' It is part of our frailty i guess.?

Before the swine '

The price is paid, the blood is shed..No
 devil in hell will make our bed.' The pearl
Once purchased cannot be sold.' No one
Should start again the refrains, dead and
Old.'
Or strew such
Treasure before the pigs..Who tear the
Soil and but shallow dig.' Who grunt at
Wisdom.' And scream at the wind, that
Blows ill or good..What matters it them.?
All for the slaughter, act like this, as unholy
Demons shudder and hiss, they stir up the
Wars and all thats amiss.' Remove our 
focus from such; I àsk you Lord' may peace of the spirit bind all Jesus's people in  one direction; mind and accord.!

The dilemma, pigs or not, it is all God's creation. We need to see the better way. When scripture says, break things, cut things out -- it is not taking about the outside physical world -- it is speaking of eliminating these spiritual connections within ourselves -- then the world will change for the better, and not before. Just my 2 cents, Joe, for the little it may be worth.

All is God's, Joe; no mystery. No confusion, no deception. And all is ours, no mystery, no deception. We create division in our own minds and hearts. God keeps no secrets from us. I have no trouble seeing and comprehending truth. If there is a confusion, a dichotomy, it is in one's own mind and heart. Confusion gives the soul impetus to procrastinate and blame others, unknown superior forces. It is all our own doing. We have the power. Notice, when I speak to you I do not communicate through enigmatic fancy riddles. It is not necessary. Direct is truth.

Obviously the Word cuts both ways and a myriad of others Joe Dimino..Seeing the Supernormal in the 3d world we inhabit though has shown me different aspects Indeed, all ve see and are made aware of are valid for their time..God is in and out of time though and bends it to His purpose as long as He keeps the version of it we know here.' Yet we converse we may learn..The rest is Gods.)
