Scholars tend to be “know it alls”.
As is said, “The only true knowing is knowing that you know no-thing.”
Of course, scholars “know” all about that.
So even then, they remain “know it alls”.
Most in this world are addicted to a drug, of one sort or another.
Drugs turn people into “know it alls”.
That drug mentality has become main stream.
Often with minimal information, perhaps over lunch or on a street corner, perspectives are quickly formed and solidly held.
Often perspectives are based upon what is heard in a biased “classroom” or biased “newsroom”.
Facts are but dots on a page.
A perspective dictates just one way those dots can be connected.
A set of connecting lines is all too often called “knowledge”.
Lives are too often based upon a set of dot connecting lines.
Oh, if life were only that simple.
Of course, some perspectives are just plain wrong.
Yet there are an infinite number of simultaneously valid yet contradictory perspectives.
The wise know no-thing.
The wise honor the set of lines most sincerely addressing the moment.
The wise can be passionate.
Yet the wise are humble.
The wise seem a paradox to the world.
Some call them weaklings.
Some call them fools.
Some call them flip flopping, mind-changing chameleons.
Some call them arrogant.
Some call them much worse.
Wisdom is not made of fixed perspectives.
The sum total of all the dot connecting lines nets out to no-thing, the only true knowing.
Wisdom is a physiological state of awareness.
Wisdom is a state of freedom of the mind, of the minds physiology.
Because the wise are in that sense formless, any form can be projected upon them…. and is.
So much gratitude for your continuing to work with us despite our projections.
How does one get to no- thing ?Without the guidance of a guru , connecting the dots, knowledge of the form, wisdom that my physical form is to manifest the formless ! Today our information is a drug that gives us false idea of know it all till we run into a bump on the way ! When are human beings are just beings ! Thank you for enlightening us … 🙏 today I know wisdom is physiological freedom of mind!
“Because the wise are in that sense formless, any form can be projected upon them…. and is.”
I wonder how many more times I will make these projections, and how many more times I will watch others project their own personal versions…. May we all soon gain the wisdom to recognize wisdom when we see it. And, in the meantime, may we all remember to search for understanding rather than condemnation. We’ve all be at this a very long time.
Shaila,
The best thing to do is proper meditation which you can learn on my YouTube channel and also the school website.
What you say here is very good. Also apprecite your kindness.
Thanks Charlotte,
Projection does indeed make life challenging! Of course, without projection, this world of ours would not exist! So much to say about it. I am so looking forward to being able to podcast. Should be able to start soon.
I thank Charlotte and Mary both for writing more clearly than I can Express. Thank you Michael.
So much here. Even with our knowledge of discernment, depending on our physiologies, it feels that some easily, or when “pinched” veer towards another facet of the diamond. Isn’t that another transformation within KaliYuga?
Marty, that is a very interesting comment.
It speaks to the notion of steady hand on the rudder. Yes? Strength? Flexibility? Weakness? Holding on tight or rooted in the depth of the soul? One can justify anything with the intellect? Inner fiber? You can’t teach common sense. Let alone wisdom. Let alone discernment.
If ones evolution could be measured, it would not be in years or even decades but rather in lifetimes.
