What is wisdom?

Wisdom is not just the mere accumulation of knowledge but the understanding and application of it. Wisdom comes in many forms — from spiritual wisdom to practical wisdom. It is a deep understanding of life that allows one to make balanced decisions and act with insight and discernment. Wisdom helps us navigate our lives through difficult times with grace and resilience. By developing wise perspectives, we can gain clarity on our goals, values, and beliefs, and use this knowledge to lead a more meaningful life.

Wisdom can be found everywhere — from ancient scriptures to contemporary literature; by listening to our elders or observing nature; from personal introspection or collective dialogue. It encourages us to be open-minded and compassionate as we strive to understand more deeply the world around us. Wisdom is a journey of learning, growth, and transformation that teaches us to appreciate life’s complexity and appreciate each other’s differences.

Wisdom can enable us to have better relationships with ourselves and others, understanding that our actions affect not just one but many. Through wisdom, we can start to recognize the patterns of our lives, identify our true purpose, and make choices that will bring about positive change in the world. Ultimately, wisdom is an invaluable gift that helps us lead meaningful lives filled with insight and joy.

As Lao Tzu said: “He who knows others is wise; He who knows himself is enlightened.” True wisdom lies within the depths of our own hearts and souls, waiting to be discovered. All we need to do is listen.

Esoteric wisdom has been around since ancient times, with evidence of its presence in cultures around the world. It was initially passed down from teacher to student in an intentional and guarded manner to prevent sacred knowledge from falling into the hands of those who would misuse it. Its principles were deeply embedded in the spiritual practices of many civilizations and often carried out as part of rituals or ceremonies that had both symbolic and practical purposes.

It's believed that this type of knowledge was intentionally kept hidden from those who weren't deemed spiritually mature enough to understand it, so as to protect them from any potential harm. Those chosen few who did possess this knowledge were thought to have special insight into the divine and sacred mysteries, which could potentially transform lives for the better. As such, esoteric wisdom has long been revered as a powerful tool for spiritual growth and the cultivation of inner understanding.

The aim of esoteric wisdom is to connect one to universal truths, allowing them to gain insight into the deeper meaning of life and find their true path in life. This knowledge encompasses many different aspects and topics, including philosophy, metaphysics, astrology, mysticism, alchemy, numerology, and more. It's often described as a journey towards enlightenment that involves learning how to access the hidden depths of our soul while also unlocking the power of our higher self. By engaging with this type of wisdom we can begin to uncover the secrets within ourselves that allow us to connect with something much greater than ourselves.

Esoteric wisdom has been around for centuries, and is still relevant today. It can help us to unlock our inner potential, heal spiritual wounds from the past, and gain insight into ourselves that can lead to a more meaningful life. By engaging with this type of wisdom we can come to understand the mysteries of life and find our true spiritual path.

The Book of Heresy

This poetry book brings to life heretical thoughts that defy monotheistic doctrine in alignment with ancient esoteric wisdom.

For millennia, the warnings of heretics and their heresies have echoed in the halls of church buildings and dogmatic writings. Beware the heretic! Birthed out of philosophy, heretics ask, “Where is the wisdom?” and, “Where is the love?”

The silence is an answer.

The rage-filled accusation of evildoing is an answer.

The curiosity with no follow-through is an answer.

But so is listening to truly hear the questions at hand and respond with, “Wait. Where is the wisdom? Where is the love? And if it’s not here, then why am I?”

People can cling to whatever they choose—but without wisdom, what’s the point of divine connection? And without love, what’s the point of life? Such thought is deemed heretical to those who have built their empires on heartless campaigns to suppress Lady Wisdom and all her glory.

Join me on a journey of heresy—and other things that aren’t actually evil.

The Saturnalia festival was an ancient Roman celebration held in honor of Saturn. Saturn's roots can be traced back to Ba'el, an older deity from the Canaanite pantheon. The syncretism observed in ancient religions often led to deities from one culture being absorbed into another under different names but with similar attributes. Thus, Saturn inherited […]
