The pen is mightier than the sword, thus the sword defends the pen

I posted this below into The Order of Pen, and after some people had commented, I joined in.

The Order of Pen

Sloan Bashinsky 

The pen is mightier than the sword, thus the sword defends the pen.

Cody

Yet, it is the sheath and cap which keeps it.

Dave

The pen is mightier than the sword because the sword, unlike the pen, does not and cannot lie.

Ammar

Nether the pen is mighty nor the sword,

Mightier is the hand holding it .

Damon

Not entirely true at all. Both the pen and the sword wield a power of their own. Let's say that some written words teach, inspire, help, guide, heal, direct, instruct etc etc millions of people around the world for thousands of years? I'd say that's far more powerful than what a sword can do. I have mastered both just for good measure, and I wield them both in an honourable way !!!

When that little verse fell out of me in 2000, i was homeless and I knew it was a knockoff of what others had said down through history. I was getting up each morning and going to a public library and getting on one of their online computers and writing something provocative about local politics, which seemed to write itself as fast as I could type it, and then I printed a dozen copies and delivered it to local government official and private citizens. I felt the verse was a message to me from above that I would be protected. Little did I then know that my daily writings eventually would be read by a lot of people in that community for many years. I upset some powerful people, and though there were some serious close calls, I was protected , sometimes in just barely the nick of time.

The sword is Sharpest, Thus cutting deepest!! 

THE PEN  ONLY SCRIBBLES OF THOUGHTS NOT ACTIONS

Jessica Often that is true, not not always. The American Declaration of Independence was both thoughts and action; its signers knew it was their death warrant, if they were caught by the British; and many of the signers wrote their names very small, hoping to hide who they were. I have seen writings that really got under people's skins, stirred them to action, or to retaliate against the author. I have seen my own writings do plenty of the latter and perhaps some of the former.

Jessica

Sloan Bashinsky it’s your story… 

You write it

Jennifer

Sloan Bashinsky Very brave - and a lot more difficult than causing problems for people who disagree with your pov - Kudos to you

Jennifer

Jessica Thinking is much more dangerous than any sword.

 Jennifer 

Jessica Let's write a book - that survives centuries and changes the lives of millions of people

Jessica

Jennifer it won’t prosper for you… but yes go ahead! Do my work for me.

Jennifer

Jessica Prosper by violence? That would never be my style - First of all, that kind of win/lose mentality is not healthy

Jessica

Jennifer first of all you don’t even know me

And 2nd of all nobody said violence… just because a sword is referenced does not mean I wish violence

Jennifer

Jessica  You seemed to be saying that the use of the sword was preferable to use of the pen - You stated that the pen would not prosper - (as if the sword would?)

Jessica

Jennifer you seem to assume you know everything alot

Jennifer

Jessica I thought the sword was a weapon?

Sloan Bashinsky

Author

Jennifer Heh, in the Gospels was a man whose thinking and words got him in deep doo doo with the establishment, and look at how history remembers him today. Also, a man today called The Buddha. And quite a few others, whose thinking and words and lifestyles altered human history.

Jessica

Jennifer but I thought your brain was most dangerous?!

Jessica

Sloan Bashinsky accurate but had it not been for the efforts put forth through their own thought… would they ever have been as historically monumental?!

Jessica Of course, first they had to have a thought, or thoughts, but if they had not spoken or written or put that into a poem or song, and if they had not preserved with it, no matter what kind of blowback or flack they caught, we'd never have heard of them. 

 

I'm a mystic, and because of that I have experiences not recognized by human conventional thinking. Here is Wikipedia summary of the Akashic records, which cannot be proven to exist, but exists nonetheless. 

 

"In the religion of theosophy and the philosophical school called anthroposophy, the Akashic records are a compendium of all universal events, thoughts, words, emotions and intent ever to have occurred in the past, present, or future in terms of all entities and life forms, not just human. They are believed by theosophists to be encoded in a non-physical plane of existence known as the mental plane. There are anecdotal accounts but no scientific evidence for the existence of the Akashic records."
