Intelligence versus Wisdom


Intelligence is innate.

You come to this life with a brain predetermined in it’s intelligence quotient. What happens as you grow through life, different ideas, beliefs and experiences prompt you to lock much of that intelligence away. You can consider it put in drawers and those drawer being closed, all access removed. This has the effect on your perception that your intelligence is lower than it actually is. In times of learning you may have the feeling that your intelligence is growing. It is not, you are merely opening some of those drawers and releasing that intelligence you brought with you at birth and previously locked away.

It is fair to say that it is rare for anyone to use even half of their innate intelligence.

On the other hand, wisdom is grown.

It is nourished and created through the thoughtful and humble way you learn from your experiences. Wisdom comes to those who seek it and can increase ad infinitum. It is grown through your willingness to see the world from a broader perspective and to walk in the shoes of others. Compassion, empathy and acceptance are fuel for building wisdom.

It is fair to say that wisdom is a goal of the soul.

Wisdom and intelligence are not correlated, nor are they even related. You can be high in intelligence and low in wisdom. The obverse is also true, you can be high in wisdom and low in intelligence. Because wisdom is something anyone can acquire, I have known 8 year olds that have more wisdom than 80 year olds.

Therefore, regardless of your perceived intelligence, you are not blocked from infinite wisdom. You are free to give up all resistance and barriers to wisdom and become a sage at any time. The choice is yours.

You can also have both. You get to decide.

 

 

Perspective

Do not limit your views to what you ‘know’.

Allow what you ‘feel’ to light your awareness.

My Best Friend

Allow the warmth of self appreciation to hold your soul.

Hold hands with your reflection.

Lorraine

Put Everything In Place

Put everything into place; your thoughts, your feelings, and in particular, your beliefs.

When is the last time you questioned what you believe? I guarantee that if you are unhappy with yourself, the key to change is in a belief.

Question everything and put it all in it’s proper place.

Love


What is your view of you?

When was the last time you colored yourself through self appreciative eyes?

Lorraine

Pursue

Follow the trails your curiosity leads you to comprehend.

Allow your opus to occur.

Lorraine

Sovereign Self

Something not sitting well with you? Re-frame it.
Something not to your liking? Walk away.
Something about you not making you happy? Change.

Living from your sovereign self is paramount to loving your life.

 

 

Longing

A sage can feel melancholy rumblings for all the experience that has engaged his being.

A tool can feel melancholy rumblings to be of use again.

Both are creations of their own erudition and passage through time.

Don’t limit your memories.

Lorraine

Wait For It…

Patience can serve us all very well.

Keep eyes wide open and hearts ready to receive. Reception is always the key.

Lorraine

Possibilities


Many things are possible, but not everything is probable.

That which is improbable is still possible.

Therefore that which is improbable can still be made manifest!
