The pope is usually a very wise man, as he represents the Christian wisdom on earth
Manu is a very ancient wise man he belongs to the Indian religions
Religious discussions
Dear readers, we all need to talk to our
friends sometimes just to see what they think about your own beliefs or ideas,
which could be religious or otherwise; I am saying this because I am sure that
you would like to know why I am bringing in my friends to talk about these
religious issues. I know you are saying
why bring them in when you already know most of the answers about what you want
to write and discuss? But you see even me need reassurance and since my friends
were willing to help me, we had a meeting to talk these religious things. At
this religious meeting Mark, Gino and three other friends came as they had
promised.
At the beginning of this meeting we were
all behaving just like children, as we all wanted to push above all our own
views without listening to each other, so I thought that the meeting was going
to be just a waste of time, what else could it be, as we had never had a
meeting with an agenda in mind to discuss. But then, my friend Mark soon became
aware of my feelings and he said; Look the way we are going about is not going
to get us anywhere, if we want to help Frank, and since we are here to help
Frank, then, let Frank be the one who talks first. After he states his views we
will have plenty of time to state our own views.
So, there and then, I had to put my very
mixed thoughts into words, and I didn’t even know how to start in front of my
friends, as confusion was on my mind, not because I was really confused, but
because what I wanted to say was so complex, just because what I was aiming to
achieve at this meeting was not easy, since we had a decision to make about
these future religious writings that I wanted to write, therefore everything
that I had in mind was complex, but in the end I said:
My dear friends, I can feel within my heart
that you are my friends indeed, because you have come forward to help me on
this very difficult decision that I am facing today. Now let it be understood
before we start that this task of mine is not going to be easy for anyone of us
to achieve, so if you still want to help me to succeed in writing my religious
theory, which I would like to write, because of my personal spiritual
circumstances, then, first of all I will have to tell you that it is going to
be hard; because, what I have in mind to write is going to be a very
controversial religious subject, so there will be lots of people that are not
going to agree with our religious views, but then because of my spiritual
circumstances, I feel that I want to do it, because there is a time for
everything and this is the right time; this religious time that I am talking
about I believe is very close, so, I feel that even now is time to start.
Having said that I have also to say to you this, if you are my helper, because
people may not like what I am going to write, they could also not like you for
helping me. So you better consider that for yourself right now is that
understood?
Having warned you of what might happen to
us all, now I feel free to say how I see this unusual situation and try to
reason what can be done. I believe that it really takes more than a few very
wise people to be able to begin solving this problematic religious situation,
and whether the existing religious situation could and would be solved nobody
knows. So this question arises; in theory are we going to be wise enough to
solve it? Or at least to get it started in the right direction? So that one day
humanity would be able to solve these religious problems that we see today, as
we all know about the atheists and the religious
extremists.
I need to say that I have reasons to
believe that it all depends on our wisdom and our beliefs, so, let us make it
simple to start with, because if we believe that there is a god, then it
follows that if we believe in God and religions, then God will help us achieve
what we are willing to achieve.
Now let me talk a little about Wisdom,
which is something that we are going to need so much, if we are going to solve
anything at all, so hereunder are my views about wisdom since we are going to
need it.
-------------------------------------------
Wisdom and knowledge
Views about wisdom and knowledge
During our lives many issues arise and some
of them are easy to solve, some others are not that easy to solve; for
instance, today we would like to solve these religious problems that exist in
the world, so how do we go about to solve them? First of all we look at these issues
and see that the world religious issues are also spiritual circumstances that
may exist in every one of us, therefore we have to be very careful here as they
are not easy to solve; the only thing that we can do here is use our knowledge
and wisdom if we have any. Now let me explain what wisdom is in my opinion:
Wisdom is the mental capacity of a wise person, whom when confronted with a
problem is able to solve it better than the average person, because he is wise.
Therefore, his/her wisdom is usually an
accumulated knowledge of all those events that this person has lived during
his/her life; therefore this wise person is capable somehow of using this
accumulated knowledge to his own advantage, therefore when a problem arises
he/she would be able to solve it better than the others people.
It is not known why one wise person becomes
wiser than somebody else, even though they might have lived most of the same
events together, so, we may have to guess at the reasons why, so, let us say
that some people are better able to assimilate their accumulated
knowledge, perhaps by storing it at the highest level in their own mind
and when the need arises they are able to use this accumulated knowledge to
their advantage.
Since wisdom (accumulated knowledge) may be
stored at one level higher that just logic reasoning, so, it may seem and feel
like a sixth sense to the wise man that has it. The wise man knowing what he
should do by this intuition of his sixth sense, he also uses logic reasoning
just to make sure that everything is all right to back up his wisdom.
Of course there are other possibilities
also, so we better mention something about this, some people believe that there
is also a small possibility that the wise person may be able to tune into the
cosmos, which is thought that it may be able to store the entire accumulated
knowledge of everything in the universe just like God, this thought of course
gives rise to this question.
Is the cosmos an integral part of God of
the universe? Well it may be part of God.
But here we are talking about wisdom and
not God. So the definition of wisdom and where it comes from may still remain a
mystery to most of us, but that does not matter because we can use wisdom our
accumulated knowledge to achieve our goals. Therefore we are going to use our
accumulated knowledge, which together with our logic reasoning may be able to
come close to achieve our goal. And as I have said before, it seems to me that
now the time has come for us to do something about it, I see it and you may see
it that there is a time for everything, so let us try and see what needs to be
done, and let us study what is around us, so that we may understand better the
situation, before we do unnecessary things that could make the situation worse,
but anyhow it seems to me that the time has come for us to do something about
these religious beliefs; because as we have said there is a time for
everything, and this is what we will be writing in our next post. See you soon.
May God guide us to achieve something
useful?
