Riddle 2 - Letters and Word

Something hidden in this verse:

Jesus said, ""I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

The Way is East. The Truth is West. Two become one and something new is created. The Father is Aleph Bet (Letters) and the Son is (Word). No one comes to the letters without the word. Ears are seed. You cannot come to the Letters without the Word, or what produces the meaning from chains of letters.

The three best sources for Eastern truth are Confucius, the Tao and the Dhammapada.

The three best sources for Western Truth are found in the resolution of philosophy, or unity with multiplicity. Life comes from making the two one. It's the Chirality of left and right hand coming together, left and right brain coming together, spirit and soul, mind and body, reason and mind (intellect), sight and insight, Heaven and Earth, Above and Below, Inside and Outside, righteous and wicked.

Why righteous? Self-righteousness is as bad as wickedness. It places self over others, just as wickedness rules over others with impure intent. Where does a pendulum stop? At rest. Neutral. Neither one nor the other, but both inside.

To know the Father (Letters), know the Word.

John 1

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being 4 in him was life,[a] and the life was the light of all people. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. 8 He himself was not the light, but he came to testify to the light. 9 The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.

10 He was in the world, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to what was his own,[c] and his own people did not accept him. 12 But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God.

14 And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son,[d] full of grace and truth. 15 (John testified to him and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks ahead of me because he was before me.’”) 16 From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. 17 The law indeed was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God. It is God the only Son,[e] who is close to the Father’s heart,[f] who has made him known.

Seeds are needed if you plan on a garden in the future. Store them up. To produce them, bear fruit. The guidebooks tell you how.

Deuteronomy 6

10 When the Lord your God has brought you into the land that he swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you—a land with fine, large cities that you did not build, 11 houses filled with all sorts of goods that you did not fill, hewn cisterns that you did not hew, vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant—and when you have eaten your fill, 12 take care that you do not forget the Lord, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 13

What will be in your basket when you leave this place?

I'm afraid that my basket is more a sieve, no matter how much I pour into it , it remains empty. If I pour enough, it will fill for a moment, but the temporary fill makes the emptiness seem even more unwelcome. My basket is emtpy.
