When
I was 14 I aced the English language portion of the entrance exam for
Brooklyn Technical High School by being able to read and answer
questions on a lengthy paragraph of Legal English, Obligee and Obligor, a
contract that for some reason I understood. It is enough to make one
believe I had a past lifetime (not really past, all simultaneous) as a
lawyer because I've always had a knack for it since and handle almost
all of our legal matters - saves a fortune and loads of time, too.
Anyway, my reward was to be placed in the Honor English class with a
bunch of geniuses including a Chinese kid named William Ku who had
arrived in the USA the year before with his parents, who owned a
laundry, no lie, and he had learned English so well he, too, was in
Honor English with me and some other crazos whom I will tell you about
some other time. The point of tonight's story is that for a whole year
the Brooklyn Tech Honors English class studied THE BIBLE! Yep,
as a secular book, a history book, a book of morals and philosophy and I
have to tell you that I learned a lot and I have found it useful my
whole life. This is why it pains me greatly to see people put down The
Bible. There is A LOT of there, though you have to
know how to look. Of course, my time spent with my late friend Zecharia
Sitchin, author of the must-read 12th Planet series of books, was
greatly enhanced by my biblical understanding. But there are so many
things worth keeping in mind. Like this great advice that can
keep anyone humble and charitable even when one feels like a smarty
pants psychic who's just impressed the heck out of a client and himself
doesn't feel like being humble at all and forgets to be charitable to
every single person he meets, no matter how much they want to drive him
crazy: 1 Corinthians 13:2 "And though I have the gift of prophecy, and
understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all
faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am
nothing." Well, as a tech graduate I know how true it is and in
how many ways that I am nothing, technically, atoms are mostly space,
the mind is nowhere that can be pinpointed, we'er 98 % water, but as a
life long learner of spirituality I know in how many ways that I can do
works that are not nothing but charitable in the sense that they help my
fellow creatures and boy, can we all use help! I know it seems obvious
but I just now realized that my Brooklyn Tech bible class was the first
step in my preparation for the life I now lead as a philosopher,
psychic, astrologer, tarot reading, self-help guru shopkeeper. My
business card is going to be a foot long!
