ACCESSING YOUR WISDOM
“A wise person does first what others do last.”
When I discovered this quote I thought it was a
brilliant insight. It supports the
belief that a wise person lives best.
For a wise person is one who chooses the best action to take right at
the start and thereby lives most fruitfully.
Given this, the key to a great life lies not in
all the many good intentions and goals we may have, but in gaining the
wisdom to direct ourselves better.
Wisdom streamlines life and keeps us from wasting time and energy going
down wrong paths.
Wisdom is a great legacy left to us by many wise
persons throughout the ages. But our
most immediate source of wisdom resides deep within ourselves. And we can
easily access it by learning to focus meditatively.
This doesn't mean that we have to practice
meditation, although it helps. What is needed is to slow down our brain waves
to 8 to 14 cycles per second, which happens when we sufficiently slow down
thinking. This level of brain wave activity is THE ALPHA ZONE (one of four
brain wave ranges we normally enter). In it we become alertly detached, and our
objectivity, will, conscientiousness, intuition, and perceptual receptivity can
increase. In it we can be more powerfully present and in control -- and
live at our MASTER MIND LEVEL.
At this level our higher mental powers are more
readily available and we may live better. Train yourself to enter and live more
in this zone. Then you’ll often access your inherent wisdom -- and do first
what you might otherwise do last ... or not do at all.
Goodness and joy to all, Joseph.
