THE SETUP: A process for “doing it just a little bit better”.
Stu’s “school” analogy.
Maturity. Insight does not result in understanding/application/wisdom
Who are the “midwives” in your life to help with this birthing process? A holistic relationship.
Wisdom Media
Wisdom literature: Bible, Koran, Plato, Teachings of Confucius, Vedic texts, Sutras, Book of Mormon, Course in Miracles
Non-fiction books/Podcasts: Science of Mind and Rosicrucian teachings.
Movies: Look for redemption themes. See the bigger picture. Snatch nuggets of wisdom.
Documentaries: The Secret, religious studies, Positive Mental Attitude studies.
Seminars/courses: GAIA, CAC, Rob Bell, Emergence Magazine, etc.
Tradition: Do not undervalue traditional evidence and practice. Let it have its place and its due honor.
Contemplation
Meditation
Liturgy
Family traditional practices
Reason: Be able to articulate truths from a logical, rational point of view.
Temper reason with mystery. Be ok with there being things we cannot understand.
Religion has often asked us to check our brain at the door. There needs to be a certain amount of plausibility.
Strive to remove as much bias as possible. Be honest.
Reasonable conclusions can shorten the leap to truths we need to take on faith
Experience: “There's a beauty to wisdom and experience that cannot be faked. It's impossible to be mature without having lived.” - Amy Grant
It’s hard to have reasonable assurance of something unless we have experienced it personally.
There is a “knowing” that only experience can give you.
Good Will Hunting example of The Sistine Chapel.
Builds credibility and confidence.
You need to be “experience-able” Get out of the bubble of comfort. Answer a “calling”.
Mystic MacNugget: You are pregnant with boundless possibilities. Push harder until you hear the cry of new life wrecking your old life. -Mac
