The Wisdom Studies

I created this account years ago. In fact, I don't even remember when. I was going to write about my spiritual journey as I studied the Wisdom, and I remember feeling very enthusiastic about sharing. Those plans fell by the wayside as I was swept up into the journey itself. It has not been an easy journey. It is not an intellectual exercise. Self transformation is not a simple process in practice, although the intellectual concepts come easy:

We are One
Be Harmless in Action, Word and Deed
Be awake
Be conscious
You are the soul
Love your neighbor as yourself...

Wait, do I even love myself? No? Yes? Maybe, somtimes? How about my neighbor?

I have a tendency to question everything. I love to leave the possibility open that there are always more answers out there, that what I think I know today will pass, and that I have only begun to scratch the surface. That tendency does not allow much room for certainty, so it becomes difficult for me to actually apply The Wisdom; how can I apply something I keep questioning? Another block I have is that I am quite fearful of actually having to experience the consequences of any action I take, as my early life experiences have shown me, the results can be fairly harsh.

The amount of expansion that I've created through my efforts has left me staggering under it's weight. I have chosen to strive, and that striving has left me sort of stranded in no-man's land. I don't fully understand the world I've entered and I can't go back to the world I left. I have not quite grounded these new concepts, and when you experience this you realize that it leads to a spiritual constipation of sorts. I have no choice but to free up this blocked energy by sharing what I've learned in a service activity.

This blog will serve as an anchor for my intention, and a way to share the journey with others in the hope that it may inspire them to take up their service work as well.

My initial activity will be to teach a class on The Wisdom. My first course of action is to carve out a specific time of day dedicated to my service activity. The second course of action is to begin to perform the appropriate meditation at the New Moon of December. The third course of action is to begin to write out any and all thoughts regarding the activity and slowly begin to formulate a plan.

In service,
