In the spirit of Christmas a riddle
 

?The KINGDOM of the FATHER is like someone who wanted to kill a powerful man. He drew the sword in his own house and thrust it into the wall so that he would know if his hand would be strong enough. Then he killed the powerful one.?

Whoever can interpret the meaning of this passage will be granted padme.

Did jesus say that ;)?

Yeah

sorry, not allowed to post a link apparently.

what does poietes means?

Wikipedia Dot Org (lol not dot com as stated above) > History of creativity

?The ancient Greeks had no terms corresponding to "to create" or "creator." The expression "poiein" ("to make") sufficed. And even that was not extended to art in general, but only to poiesis (poetry) and to the poietes (poet, or "maker") who made it. Plato asks in The Republic, "Will we say, of a painter, that he makes something?" and answers, "Certainly not, he merely imitates." To the ancient Greeks, the concept of a creator and of creativity implied freedom of action, whereas the Greeks' concept of art involved subjection to laws and rules. Art (in Greek, "techne") was "the making of things, according to rules." It contained no creativity, and it would have been ? in the Greeks' view ? a bad state of affairs if it had.?

Padme? Is that like a reach around?

lol

I will give you a hint, its not the chick from Star Wars.

Here is my take on it, but I was hoping for some insight on what others thought.

The sword represents other people?s ideas/thoughts/beliefs outside of your own. The thrusting of the sword into the walls of his own house represents one taking in those outside beliefs and contrasting them with ones own to see how they measure up.

Once this has been done, the person arrives at true wisdom by mending the two opposing view points to create a fusion of the two and thus can now kill the powerful one (deception/falsehood).

?If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.?

?Experiment with this like it's different 'cause it is
They make the norm, and it's not what I live
I give my all and want to ball like y'all
But I can only spit my shit, you get it??
