True wisdom

[Beren]

This thread sparked in me from a post that I just made in another thread; here it goes...
Add your example of HOW TO ... differentiate true wisdom from false...



True wisdom is always beautiful from all angles.
False wisdom is always ugly in true sense.

The core of beauty is wisdom but false wisdom likes to cloak into beauty.
Here lies a task for soul to recognize true wisdom from false.
It`s always beautiful and its aim is always the highest - this is Creator`s signature which is everywhere.
False one washes out quickly and shows its ugliness.

there seems to be a close correlation between truth and beauty

and i am reminded by the last verse of John Keats Ode on a Grecian Urn

"Beauty is truth, truth beauty," - that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.

Depends
...wisdom can be suggestive. Some feel it and some don't. What works for some may not work for others...and that can be the result of not understanding the wisdom. In any case...I don't think its wise to use speculations to determine what true wisdom is,

Of course....this is just my opinion

Wisdom based on rational, inspired truth can be realized once an over active ego is exposed to the light of truth. When the light of truth exposes an over active ego, the ego is contained. Once the ego is contained, we have undiminished access to what is real. Once we have undiminished access to what is real, we quickly recognize that we are wholly contained in the fundamental reality of a greater common good where no intermediary can divide us from our real identity.

As we progress along a metaphysical path of understanding, wisdom begins to accelerate at a never before experienced level. The more time and effort we put into applying this wisdom into our everyday life, the sooner we return to our natural metaphysical state of being.

True Wisdom doesn't have to dig or uncover, it doesn't have to wonder if its right or wrong or if its popular or not. The real beauty of true wisdom is....it just IS!

Thank you for this thread Beren!

True blessing for all and yourself is when you grasp true wisdom.
You become a walking bliss for all that you encounter in life.

True wisdom feels like a peaceful, contented feeling in my gut.

Yes!
It`s a sort of energy balance which you physically experience and call wisdom.

Dan,


As we progress along a metaphysical path of understanding, wisdom begins to accelerate at a never before experienced level. The more time and effort we put into applying this wisdom into our everyday life, the sooner we return to our natural metaphysical state of being.

Metaphysical state of being is our nature.
Ability to BE.

Isn't all of our (beings in this extinence) "true wisdom" based on this assumption: We exist, and have free will (or at least the illusion of it)?

That free will is the only thing that is real, and those that have this "true wisdom" therefore have the power to take/hide it from others?

And once you realize that, that freewill decisions (personal responsibility) are made from either love or fear, and the more information and awareness you have, the freer your will?

Been stuck on these ideas lately--make sense to anybody?

Laotse's $0.02:


When a superior man hears of the Tao,
he immediately begins to embody it.
When an average man hears of the Tao,
he half believes it, half doubts it.
When a foolish man hears of the Tao,
he laughs out loud.
If he didn't laugh,
it wouldn't be the Tao.

Thus it is said:
The path into the light seems dark,
the path forward seems to go back,
the direct path seems long,
true power seems weak,
true purity seems tarnished,
true steadfastness seems changeable,
true clarity seems obscure,
the greatest art seems unsophisticated,
the greatest love seems indifferent,
the greatest wisdom seems childish.

How to get there?


In pursuit of knowledge,
every day something is added.
In the practice of the Tao,
every day something is dropped.
Less and less do you need to force things,
until finally you arrive at non-action.
When nothing is done,
nothing is left undone.

True mastery can be gained
by letting things go their own way.
It can't be gained by interfering.

Are you serious?


Those who know don't talk.
Those who talk don't know.

Close your mouth,
block off your senses,
blunt your sharpness,
untie your knots,
soften your glare,
settle your dust.
This is the primal identity.

Be like the Tao.
It can't be approached or withdrawn from,
benefited or harmed,
honored or brought into disgrace.
It gives itself up continually.
That is why it endures.

Does this make any sense?


True words aren't eloquent;
eloquent words aren't true.
Wise men don't need to prove their point;
men who need to prove their point aren't wise.

The Master has no possessions.
The more he does for others,
the happier he is.
The more he gives to others,
the wealthier he is.

The Tao nourishes by not forcing.
By not dominating, the Master leads.

Whatever :)

You`re not stuck at all my friend :)
