19 Wisdom
Wisdom is directly related to the power of abstraction.
The more you can detach your perception from the details associated with the entity under consideration, the wiser your understanding of that entity.
A living being when born is free of the assumptions and common knowledge that dominate the train of thoughts of a “grown-up” living being. It takes a lot of wisdom to be able to disregard the “knowledge” of the contemporaries and to formulate an understanding founded on abstractions which necessarily provide no details.
Our primate instincts for accumulating information to aid our survival is what presses us into delving deeply into details. This might be an important aspect of material survival, but it blinds the dormant abstracted wisdom that everyone has.
Don’t see the words, don’t form the sentences, don’t understand the ideas.
Feel the truth and be wise.
