The first point of wisdom is to discern what is false, the second to know what is true. – Lactantius
We often talk about wisdom but are usually uncertain as to what it means…it is very difficult to define or how to obtain wisdom…perhaps it easier for us to begin by examining what may be false or an illusion…
Science has now helped us understand that the whole universe is interconnected and not as we assumed made up of separate pieces…most importantly the illusion of having a separate personal self with its own story is a falsehood…which leads us to wonder if those who see through this illusion have taken a major step in finding wisdom.
The subconscious most valuable tools are intuition, imagination and when motivated by intense curiosity is capable of perceiving many interconnections beyond the ability of the conscious mind… this capacity of seeing the “large picture” is what is known as wisdom…and it can be continuously developed over a lifetime and still only scratch the surface of all the possible interconnections.
” “Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it” ~ Albert Einstein
