yes, all kinds of people who are basically rebels who want to justify their positions, lol…cause they like whats easy, whats common….that is what they identify with…and they are not God or truth seekers at all…it is frustrating…..
The first verse of psalms is this:
Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scorners…..”
There is a word there in hebrew: latz, latzim, pluralized; mockers…scorners….
Whereas many people might think that the mockers, scorners, sinner, is someone who doesn't know the way….it is actually speaking about those that know better….those who are 'enlightened' who have learned, have been taught and are supposedly….educated…but lack the humility that you speak about to 'condescend' to the light of the other, (pride goes before a fall….)
The mockers “know everything” and are so jealous of someone elses light; the light of their peers – that they will not even initiate a dialogue, they don't want to 'hear' their words because their pride and their envy won't allow for that…therefore, they do not receive light nor grow; their learning is superficial, it hasn't penetrated their hearts , its just the little ego –intellectual 'prowess.' but lacking in reality any power, because the ego will not submit to humble itself to growth…they will not be transformed….nor do they walk in light..these are the sophists…highly philosophical, 'educated' people…
the psalmist is speaking to and about them; that is the irony…he is not speaking about the uneducated…NO!! lol….such an interesting and totally insightful twist from King David…
The psalm continues….But his delight is in the word of the Lord and in his word he meditates day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season…its leaf shall not wither; and in whatever he does he shall prosper….
There are many scorners, mockers, and rebels who profess to walk in and to seek
“enlightenment”….but these are the very mockers that mock everything that comes from the side of light, truth, and beauty….they pick and choose 'light'….lol…..these are the latzim…..the sophists….clever and specious argumentations that they bring forth…this is sophistry….::
to take truth and what is pure, and to adulterate it, to admix truth with clever and deceptive…reasoning…this IS the meaning of sophistry…..it is plausible but fallacious, argumentation….and for the latzim…those without humility, this is the egos' way of survival …..In fact, this is where we get our word: “ADULTERY!!.
THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE THAT!!
