Higher Wisdom

Hermetic: “As within, so without.”

Vedantic: “You are That -Tat Tvam Asi.”

Unity: “Thoughts held in mind produce after their kind.”

There is a higher wisdom that can help us in our everyday lives. It is practical and stems from a holistic understanding of life’s principles. Wisdom is the spiritual power of discernment and inner knowing that aligns thought, feeling, and action with divine truth. It can sometimes be the simplest way to move forward. Often, it is creative, out-of-the-box thinking that takes things to the next level.

Daniel had two job offers. One had a high salary and prestige. The other paid less but aligned with his heart and values. Still uncertain, he visited his grandmother. She handed him two small toy ladders and said, “Climb each one in your imagination. Where do they lead?” As Daniel pictured each path, the high-paying job felt heavy and hollow. The other job brought a sense of peace and quiet joy. He chose the second, trusting the wisdom that came from within.

How can we know that we are making wise choices, and how can higher wisdom guide us?
