Ah yes, Philosophy is so universal I dont even know where to start.I shall start at the very basics.
Philo-Sophia in Greek means love of Wisdom, The one thing that is lacking in modern society, and even the modern philosophers who are supposed to love and support it only seem to be interested in making arguments to each others theories and acting eccentric, i would aggree that there still are true philosophers but we are very rare.
It would seem that the true esoteric knowledge of philosophy was intentionally buried by our leaders to keep us ignorant of the universal truth and keep us unprepaired for "Dies Irae".Of course they couldnt have just revealed the truth to the masses that would have made the knowledge exoteric and the evil people would exploit the gift and would become mere Sophists(exploiters of the gift not lovers).The only right way would be to teach the people slowly, and those who would show promise would be given the "key".
I think of Wisdom as the key to an altered perception of this world.We see things more objectively we are able to imagine being someone else and how they feel which gives us great empathy, we can also imagine the things people tell us so we gain experience from things we never even experienced ourselves.With great imagination universal knowledge is at hand.Thats why the wise men were and are the best advisors.Even Einstein knew the importance of imagination.A great way to enhance our imagination is by lucid dreaming, which i will discuss in another article.
Some think wisdom is something people are born with, but as all things in life it is gained.Another missconception is also that it comes with a
ge, sure older people may act wiser but thats becouse they know better than to act foolish.To gain true wisdom one must "evolve" his brain, one must marry the king in him with his queen so that they may process and act together in this world.And if one chooses with this gift to follow the path of light and love, a child shall be born within him, a child named Sophia and he shall have true Wisdom.
If you have read any alchemy books you shall find this knowledge in many diffrent forms they use words like (gold, king, sun, sulphur) and (silver, queen, moon, mercury).All they are really trying to say is that we must "join" our left hemisphere("king") with our right("queen") to make the philosophers stone which is Wisdom itself and they use all this metaphores to keep this knowledge esoteric and make people belive alchemy is about becoming rich with making gold.But becouse the spiritual world is in balance with the physical(yin-yang) there must be a physical equavilent to wisdom and alchemy teaches that also.In modern science it is known as orbitally rearanged monatomic elements which can be made in many ways but the true art teaches that all we need is the essence of the sun and the moon(i shall reveal them in my article dedicated to alchemy) join them and "cook" them at varying temperatures.
So know we can see this beautiful balance betwen the worlds, we must learn to see them both before we die, so that only the physical one will cease to exist for us but we shall remain aware of the spiritual and then if we wish we return to the physical as a "crystal" child with all our knowledge and memories.The souls of those who were not aware of the spiritual world become lost not aware of itself and that energy will reincarnate as new life without a choice.And that is the true meaning of life.
