The Path of Saintly Wisdom by Jackie Woods
Do you ever wonder how the Saints became so wise? Believe it or not, it
wasn't because they studied harder, did more, or blocked out their negative
emotions. Wisdom isn't about doing better. It isn't about acting more
saintly. It is simply about accepting that you have access to all "knowing,"
and using it.
I read once that Saint Germain said the reason he became a Saint so quickly
was because he made lots of right choices. We all have that freedom of
choice. Every minute you can choose to open the computer of your mind and
search for an answer among its stored files or open yourself to the higher
"knowing" of wisdom.
It is true that the higher wisdom registers through your mind, but it
doesn't originate there. In fact, it may take some time before enough of
your old mental clutter gets cleared away for wisdom to make itself known.
This means that you have to give up needing answers immediately. Actually,
wisdom is much more than just `answers'. It is the big picture of "knowing"
rather than just the facts pertaining to the immediate question.
Isn't it nice to know that you don't have to die to have saintly wisdom? In
fact you don't have to do anything other than reach beyond yourself to the
wisdom held by all the Saints. It is like having access to the World Bank.
The only combination to the vault that you need is openness and awareness.
Be open to all possibilities, not only in your waking hours but also in your
dream state. Be aware of symbols and information brought to you in unusual
ways, both in your thoughts and from the outside. And last but not least, be
able to sort through the mass of external information available and see if
any of it resonates with your heart.
The path of Saintly wisdom is one of not only accessing higher knowing but
of bringing it into everyday life. In every moment you must choose to go
beyond what you already know to the vastness of true wisdom. You must not
only accept its breadth and depth, but its simplicity. Wisdom builds one
piece at a time, so you will have the chance to incorporate it into your
life. The path of a Saint is about bringing heaven to earth.
