Did you know? Did you know that we can only see what we can imagine? And that we can only imagine a spectrum of possibilities constructed from our experience base?
Experience teaches wisdom because lessons are hard learned, but they are the only effective way to prevent future unconscious actions. It is also for this reason that many people are not capable of seeing positive things in others, things with which they have no personal experience. We can only see in the world and see in others what we have seen before in our travels and we can recognize in ourselves.
You can't see wisdom, at least not with your eyes. Neither can you feel wisdom; it can’t be touched with your hands. True wisdom comes only through experience, although compassionate guidance helps. There is something inherent in you - in everyone that recognizes and connects with wisdom based in experience. Wisdom teaches us how not to repeat the same mistakes over and over again expecting different results each time.
Down through the centuries, yogis gained wisdom by using the experiences found within their own bodies and minds. They scientifically explored life, regarding themselves as laboratories for experiments in becoming truly aware. Additionally, their imagination was highly active in the development of their practice. Meditation and a sense of physical, mental and emotional wellbeing were established as a result.
Those who are established in wisdom cannot “give” you their experience, but they can certainly assist you in discovering these things for yourself. These days knowledge is plentiful and is often mistaken for wisdom, but they’re two distinctly different things. Wisdom is the proper application of knowledge through experience.
In conclusion: Everything that you experience is an opportunity for you to use your imagination to figure out what your true purpose in life is and how to effectively apply that purpose. This is true wisdom and it assists us with recognizing our proper roles in relationship to ourselves and everything else around us and in so doing helps us to grow and mature.
