Wisdom begins with knowledge, but recognizes that knowledge is not enough. Knowledge requires accuracy, but accuracy is not enough. We need truth. It may be accurate that a vegetarian lifestyle is healthy, for example, but truth may find that it is inappropriate for you at the present time. Effectively utilizing a day timer may help you accomplish more tasks, yet your true need may be to recognize and accomplish the right tasks.
Wisdom requires a heightened level of consciousness, an awareness of the human experience as consisting of more than the body and the mind, more than what happens to us individually or only what is recorded by our five senses. It is an awareness that all things are connected, that there is a choice and a purpose to the polarities of love and fear and that there are universal sources of truth that we can and do draw upon. In this respect, it is important to understand the relationship between what we eat and how we utilize time.
Conditioning is yet another requirement of wisdom. The internal integration of knowledge and consciousness only becomes wisdom when it can be drawn upon at will. This requires conditioning our body and mind to serve the purposes of the body, mind and soul. Our habits, whether they be our thoughts, our words or our actions, utilize and control most of our energy and momentum. The average person has 60,000 thoughts a day, with 55,000 of them being the same as yesterday. Existing patterns are bound to continue unless we expand this programming of the body/mind to support our current and ever growing integration of knowledge and consciousness.
