Wisdom and Knowledge

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM

The difference between knowledge and Wisdom is that Wisdom is Spiritual Light. And Spiritual Light has healing power.

Knowledge can be any random thought in spiritual substance; it can be dark, meaningless and pointless. Wisdom, on the other hand, is always meaningful, purposeful and useful.

The reason we want to understand as much Wisdom as possible is because Wisdom or Spiritual Light is always associated with Spiritual warmth or Divine Love. And Divine Love will bring joy into our life.

If the knowledge that you receive from someone is not useful to you, it is probably false.

For example, you may listen to a lecture from a so-called philosopher but if this lecturer seems depressed and sad, he is communicating ideas that originate in spiritual darkness. These ideas will only drag you into lower spiritual levels. This means that you would have been better off without this knowledge.

It takes a great amount of courage, vigilance and perseverance to remain at the levels of spiritual Light when we are continually bombarded by lies and useless knowledge.

MORE IS NOT BETTER

The other day I was reading a review of a self-help book on Amazon.com and the person said this:" I found this book to be very good but it was only 100 pages!"

Well, if you can communicate some Wisdom by means of 100 pages instead of 350 pages, you deserve more credit.

Wisdom is spiritual Light and the words and tone of a book correspond to the thoughts and feelings of the author.

The words will only communicate spiritual Light if the author himself is in a state of spiritual Light.

There are millions of self-help books on the market but most of them are empty words.

If you read an author and discover that her/his words have opened your mind and heart to spiritual Light and warmth, it means that any book by this author will have the same effect on you.

What you are experiencing from his/her words are his/her BEING. He/she is giving you the gift of healing substance.

When I was young I used to read 350 page books about philosophy and science which used to make me feel more depressed than if I did not read them. Now I can tell right away if an author has any new wisdom to teach me by reading a few sentences from his book. I can sense his being from his words.

THE POWER OF WORDS

Words have power because they correspond to thoughts and feelings or to Being.

Whatever we say is an affirmation which changes our Being.

If we are always cursing, we are sending our being to the darker levels of the spiritual world. If we uplift people by kind words, we are uplifting our own being along with them.

The Bible is called the Word of God. The Word of God corresponds to God's Being or Truth. When we read the Bible, we are aligning our own Being with God's Truth.

God's Truth has healing power.
