Simple Wisdom: What is Wisdom?

Wisdom is an intrinsic knowing. It is beyond the ego. It is what you find that resonates with through your own explorations of your inner landscape.

Simple Wisdom: The Genesis of Wisdom

A spirit needs space to expand without getting mixed up with the static of the unevolved and unenlightened. Does following a set of rules and guidelines get you enlightenment, or does discovering your own path and your own way? Does chanting this or that enough times take you to Nirvana? If you find your own path, even if it is unaffiliated with a deity or a guru, should you follow it, or should you only venture on the pre- blazed paths?

Whose wisdom should you trust, the one spoken to you by a voice in your head, or somebody who wrote a book and claims to have the answers? What is the genesis of wisdom? From where does it originate? Wisdom is an intrinsic knowing. It is beyond the ego. It is what you find that resonates with you through your own explorations of your inner landscape.

The ideas of others, and what they call “teachings” may serve as jumping off points for your own explorations, but be certain you find the connection between their words and your own understanding, or their words will have no value to you. This is the genesis of wisdom.

7 of Wands: Stay Persistent

7 of Wands Tarot Card: Get a wider perspective

The 7 of wands tarot card reminds you  to stay persistent in pursuit of your goals and not give up just because you hit an obstacle. You have been working hard to achieve something, and have accomplished a lot. You’ve come so close and have done so much, and now if you could just take those last few steps, but there is an obstacle in the way. You can see the realization of your dreams; it is right there. But you just can’t quite reach it. So what do you do? Do you give up? After all you’ve gone through to get to this point, do you say, “oh, I can’t do it?”  That is not the best thing to do.

The best thing to do is back up a little bit and see a wider perspective around the obstacle. Obstacles are arbitrary. Accept them or don’t accept them. To accept them is to make them. To be empowered is to not accept them. To accept them is to make excuses. To make excuses is to give up too easily. If you are so willing to make excuses so easily is an indication that maybe you never really wanted this after all. So ask yourself how badly do you want this? If you want it badly enough, you’ll do what it takes and find a way to make it happen. Let the 7 of wands be a reminder to yourself to not not give up. Let tell you that no matter what, there is a way. You just need to see it.

Knight of Pentacles: Take a Chance

Knight of Pentacles Tarot Card

Knight of Pentacles Tarot Card: Do not surrender your fate to arbitrary winds

The Knight of Pentacles tarot card reminds us that to be successful, sometimes we need to take a chance. We need to gamble. We need to throw caution to he wind and hope for the best. It is normal in life to count on luck. But what is luck exactly? Luck is the aligning of hope and circumstances. We can’t always just sit there and wait for luck to show up. Sometimes we need to prompt it.

We need to create the circumstances that foster the possibility of a favorable outcome.  If we never try, we should not expect much. So we need to try and hope for the best. It takes courage to try, sometimes. So find the courage then. It takes faith to try sometimes.

So find the faith then. Don’t let arbitrary winds decide your fate. Take some chances, because if you never try, you will never succeed. Don’t be afraid to go for it. You can’t win what you never risk. So don’t fear risks. This is today’s message from the Knight of Pentacles.
