Wisdom

A knowing that goes beyond our senses. Knowing something to be right, true and just within our soul. It isn’t tangible. We don’t need proof.

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” Marcel Proust.

With age comes wisdom

Wisdom can be gained over years of life experience.  I expect a person older than myself to be wise. As in “the older I get the wiser I get.” This belief is simply due to them having lived longer than me and seen more of life than me. However I see wisdom in those much younger than myself.

“Seek the wisdom of the ages, but look at the world through the eyes of a child.” Ron Wild.

Wisdom is a virtue

Wisdom is considered one of the highest virtues of human beings. Wisdom can be a way of seeing. It comes from the Latin word, “sapientia.” The ability to think and act using understanding, common sense and insight.

 “Knowledge is knowing what to say. Wisdom is knowing when to say it.” Anonymous.

Who? Me?

I recall being told after a lengthy discussion with someone I had just met, about a topic I no longer remember that I’m wise. I thought really? Me! Wise? I had and still don’t have any awareness of being wise. I believe that declaring oneself to be wise shows a lack of wisdom.

“A wise owl sat on an oak, the more he saw the less he spoke, the less he spoke the more he heard. Why aren’t we like the wise old bird?” Charles M. Schulz.

Blessings to all.

I’m a clairsentient. I can feel it!

“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.” Helen Keller.

What is a clairsentient?

The word “clairsentient” means “clear feeling.” This is an extremely heightened form of empathy. This isn’t a lesson, but rather my experience of being a clairsentient. I feel and experience energy in an intuitive way. This can be other people’s feelings, inanimate objects and an onslaught of spiritual insights. I feel things very deeply. I’m not only a deep feeler, I’m also a deep thinker. I struggle with my emotions at times.  I feel drained after being in a large group of people. I need to be around people who don’t drain and exhaust me. I can empathise with others. I’m fascinated by ancient and historical events and often wonder what life must have been like in other times.

“Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.” Oscar Wilde.

Wisdom

Growing up I always knew I was different. I have an active and vivid imagination. I never trust what I’m told and what I see on the surface. I know there must be more to it than what I’m being told or shown. I only trust what I feel. I understand the pain I’ve felt in my life has been a gift. It’s helped me to grow in ways I couldn’t imagine when I was younger. I think that I gain wisdom as I learn by intuiting things.  I feel a deep calling to help others. I think people are suffering needlessly and if I can inspire them to become more self-aware and transcend their pain then that’s what I will try to do.

“The things that make me different are the things that make me me.“ A.A. Milne.      

Intuition

I have a gut feeling about people and I can feel this physically especially in my solar plexus. I can feel a spirit is present. I can’t see or hear. It’s just a sense that there’s a presence around me. Sometimes I feel that I’m being watched by spirit. I can sense mood changes when I enter a room. I can feel others’ emotions or the energy of a place. Distressing stories are not easy to stomach for me. Emotional movies make me sad. I have difficulty making decisions. I procrastinate. Going over and over them in my mind because I don’t trust my feelings. This is something I struggle with and I guess I always will. All part of my learning curve.
