Wisdom and Knowledge (the best spiritual teacher)

Knowledge is the collection of information,

Wisdom, the understanding of knowledge.

Knowledge is the process of mind,

Wisdom, a process of the soul.

knowledge is the breadth,

Wisdom is the depth.**

Wisdom - Diamond Light  by h.koppdelaney

Words do not contain truth, but may reflect the truth that you hold within.
This is my truth. Only you can determine if there is any value in it for you.

Knowledge is the collection of information,
Wisdom, the understanding of knowledge.
Knowledge is the process of mind,
Wisdom, a process of the soul.
knowledge is the breadth,
Wisdom is the depth.


Define knowledge
and it will escape you.


One does not have to be
the possessor of wisdom
to convey it.


Wisdom is not diminished
by the presenter.


Contemplation is the process
by which knowledge
becomes wisdom.


The mind is the 
territory of knowledge.
The intuitive is the 
territory of Wisdom.


The best teacher does not
impart wisdom or learning,
But draws forth
the student's own wisdom.


There is no unlikely 
agent of wisdom,
Only those we are
least likely to recognize.


Who said wisdom was
an all or nothing proposition?

Helping Someone Overwhelmed with Bad News?

Scarcity of hope, not severity of fate, is the much-mourned ‘human condition’.--Strike Chord of Silence**

Hope Arriving By h.koppdelaney

This is more a “show me, don’t tell” solution. No amount of rationalization can resolve a problem of heart and spirit.

As within, so without.**

If you want to spread hope, you must exhibit within yourself. It’s like coming into a room filled with people whose mood was communally contrary to yours as you entered. Whether you stay in that room or not, most people will start to feel a shift in their state of mind, moving toward the collective attitude of the group.

You spread hope, joy, sense of self, etc. as you would a smile…by example. Even if no one initially responds, continue smiling. It can harm no one, and at very least is good for your own health and peace. Eventually, the smile will spread to those around you.

Hope is the companion of power, and mother of success; for who so hopes strongly has within [them] the gift of miracles.—Samuel Smiles

Another very important effort in bringing our world from its current malady is simply to acknowledge the value of every person you meet. Treat them with respect; listen to them. In respecting them (and yourself) treat them with kindness. This may not eliminate the bad news, but it makes the journey more pleasant for us all.

You project to the world around you what you hold within.
Peace within yourself is the cornerstone of peace in the world.**

This is my truth. Only you can determine if there is any value in it for you.

Ecosystem or EchoSystem?

Perhaps ecosystem would be more accuratedly expressed with 'echosystem'. Invariably, the scars we inflict on our psyche reverberate in the earth around us, and vice versa--Jeremy Taylor

The Great Fun By Eddi van W.

Union of Bonded Souls Changes Reality

Come Together by h.koppdelaney

Even much of science today considers viable the infinite dimensioned reality of the ancient mystics and shaman. Acknowledging the existence of these worlds and, therefore, their inhabitants, we must then consider our relationship with them. Can we, do we, interact with them? Are we carrying on active and long standing relationships across these dimensional divides even though we might not be consciously aware of those relationships?

Perhaps our fives senses are not so much perception tools, but rather tools of filtration. In my novel, Sacred Vow, I followed a speculation that our minds filter out the information that we would otherwise perceive as the “other realities.” These other dimensions exist in the very space that we incorrectly imagine our world alone exists. This is possible without our conscious awareness because each world and its inhabitants vibrate within a specific frequency range. Our mind is generally set like a radio tuner to pick up only a specific frequency…therefore recognizing one world/reality only, despite all the other ‘signals’ that are available out there.

The most adept mystics and shaman have always known about these parallel universes/realities because their finely attuned sensitivities allowed them to perceive and understand the details of the nature of their world, their primary reality. Once knowing this, they were able to perceive and acknowledge what was not their world…much like base self-awareness allows me to realize (imagine) what is me and what is not (illusion though that may be). Once these adepts knew someplace existed besides their primary reality, the interest of travel between the different worlds would naturally arise.

The interaction/travel between dimensions is possible, but has most often been limited to those unique individuals who have learned to expand their perception, alter their vibrational resonance. One of the primary characters in Sacred Vow, Ian, manages, unconsciously, to alter his resonance, but can never fully make the transfer into other worlds (never able to fully interact as a full member of that reality). This, however, is the nature of Ian, but does not imply that that there is an inherent limit to travel across dimensions.

In Sacred Vow, Ian and Katerina are soul mates—twin flames—but are completely unaware of each other as the story begins, as they live in different dimensions. They have an active, long standing relationship between them, though is has never manifested in either of their primary realities. In Sacred Vow, much as in our own world today, there is a growing rift in the Collective Consciousness causing a breakdown in the essence of reality.

According to Katerina’s culture, this rift has occurred periodically over the millennia. When it happens, Katerina’s spiritual order, the Sisterhood of Crones, performs a ritual to receive identification of the two individuals who have the strongest bond throughout the infinite realities. This time it is Katerina and Ian. The Sisterhood knows that in order to heal the rift in the Collective Consciousness, these two will have to overcome the obstacles that separate them, come together, and realize their union, their oneness.

The idea that Ian and Katerina getting together affects our collective reality is more than just “love conquers all.” Emotion is energy, and is one of our most powerful methods for generating psychic energy. This being so, a strong motivator such as love is often a catalyst for opening portals to change…whether social, personal, or energetic change.

Cause and effect are not linear. Change, or an unfolding horizon, seeks out the most receptive individuals in which to manifest its own beginning. The increasing opening in the ‘portal’ between dimensions—the expansion of our sense of reality—existed before Ian and Katerina. Their connection was the most receptive point for the connection between dimensions to manifest itself. The developing portal sought out the couple’s receptivity with the intention of expanding into the wider consciousness, beyond masters and adepts…first to Ian and Katerina, then those around Ian and Katerina, then people who know those people, until a momentum is developed so that even people without contact to any of the original players will know this unveiled truth.

Have you ever heard the 100th monkey story? This story was further popularized by Ken Keyes Jr with the publication of his book The Hundredth Monkey. Whether the story is empirical truth or not, the truth of what it is saying has been seen over and over…tipping point they now call it.


The 100th Monkey
A story about social change.
by Ken Keyes, Jr.

The Japanese monkey, Macaca fuscata, had been observed in the wild for a period of over 30years. In 1952, on the island of Koshima, scientists were providing monkeys with sweet potatoes dropped in the sand. The monkey liked the taste of the raw sweet potatoes, but they found the dirt unpleasant. An 18-month-old female named Imo found she could solve the problem by washing the potatoes in a nearby stream. She taught this trick to her mother. Her playmates also learned this new way and they taught their mothers too.

This cultural innovation was gradually picked up by various monkeys before the eyes of the scientists. Between 1952 and 1958 all the young monkeys learned to wash the sandy sweet potatoes to make them more palatable. Only the adults who imitated their children learned this social improvement. Other adults kept eating the dirty sweet potatoes.

Then something startling took place. In the autumn of 1958, a certain number of Koshima monkeys were washing sweet potatoes -- the exact number is not known. Let us suppose that when the sun rose one morning there were 99 monkeys on Koshima Island who had learned to wash their sweet potatoes. Let's further suppose that later that morning, the hundredth monkey learned to wash potatoes.

THEN IT HAPPENED! By that evening almost everyone in the tribe was washing sweet potatoes before eating them. The added energy of this hundredth monkey somehow created an ideological breakthrough!

But notice: A most surprising thing observed by these scientists was that the habit of washing sweet potatoes then jumped over the sea...Colonies of monkeys on other islands and the mainland troop of monkeys at Takasakiyama began washing their sweet potatoes. Thus, when a certain critical number achieves an awareness, this new awareness may be communicated from mind to mind.

Although the exact number may vary, this Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon means that when only a limited number of people know of a new way—a new horizon,—it may remain the conscious property of these people.

But there is a point at which if only one more person tunes-in to a new awareness, a field is strengthened so that this awareness is picked up by almost everyone!

Creativity and Liberation

The most effective tool of human oppression is the disparagement of native imagination--Jeremy Taylor, The Wisdom of Your Dreams

Lucid Dream By AlicePopkorn

If someone is successful in convincing other people that the playful and spontaneous products of their imagination are "worthless" or "trivial" or "substandard," then those people become slaves, regardless of any accompanying economic and political flourishes. Conversely, if someone fails to persuade others, that the spontaneous products of their imaginative life are worthless or substandard, then no matter how much physical, economic, social, or political oppression accompanies that failed effort, those people will never be enslaved. People who are in touch with the spontaneous archetypal creative/imaginative impulse are always in a state of creative ferment and "revolution," whether they are intentionally "insubordinate" or not. Such people are always behaving spontaneously in new and unexpected ways that the oppressive authorities have not specifically prohibited because they have not thought of them.

For this reason, the restoration of a positive, dynamic, spontaneous relationship with our imaginative life is an absolutely crucial part of any authentic and effective individual or collective liberation. --Jeremy Taylor, The Wisdom of Your Dreams
