Wisdom
_I: Following the logic of the folding of Universal Time and Space, with that sheet of paper, we can understand that since everything is part of a single Being, everything we look for outside is always found within ourselves. That everything we pursue, project, is just a fold in my own body.
_AM: That's right, the entire universe is simply a single being folded over itself, millions of times, creating trillions of possibilities.
_I: So in the first instance, Everything knows Everything. You are fully aware of everything on that sheet of paper... Why set out to lose Consciousness through the Unconscious and the Subconscious?
_AM: And why do you set out to search for the Conscious from the Subconscious and the Unconscious?
_I: I guess to get out of the distortion and get back to who I really am... Who I'm really supposed to be.
_AM: And what will you do next?
_I: …Emmm… I don't know, I didn't think about it.
_AM: Because you focus on the path to reach Consciousness, considering it as a privileged place in the Universe, almost like an “All Inclusive” hotel. Everything is so perfect that you don't have to do anything...
_I: Ugh… For God's sake, I would never go to an All Inclusive of my own free will. There is nothing that bores me more.
_AM: Because a place like this is designed to relax, but once relaxed, the body begins to ask for something more, some emotion, adventure, something that moves you to create...
_I: Sure…
_AM: So when you reach the idyll of Consciousness, what will you do next?
_I: Create…
_AM: Ah… And to create, what should you do?
_I: Bending time and space…
_AM: Ah… Look… How new…
_I: Hahaha, ok, I get the point. We see returning to origin as a race to return home, or as a vacation after so much work and stress. One wants to rest, but after the rest lasted days, or weeks, or months, the mind begins to seek to do something, to feel creative.
_AM: Because the entire Universe is the body of an artist, a musician, a poet, a sculptor; someone who can't stop thinking about creating and manifesting. Full Consciousness is the Void, it is a blank page... And when a logical being sees a blank page, an artist sees thousands of possibilities. But he has nothing more than that sheet, there are no brushes, there are no gouges, there are no colors; only vibration, light and white. Then, he realizes that the only way to generate contrast is if he crumples the page. There not only a new shape appears, but a shadow for the first time. The shadow reveals a shape, a silhouette that was non-existent before. And he wonders: what happens if I continue folding the sheet, creating more shapes, playing with lights and shadows?
_I: And so Light generates Darkness, bending space through time, creating patterns in a creative matrix, a fabric, that manifests matter...
_AM: The shadows will be the Subconscious that reminds us where all things come from. The Unconscious is the one that is driven to move without logic through all the diverse forms, and the Conscious is the one that tries to understand its own unlimited creative capacity.
_I: Thus the Conscious creates the other two in order to have an enormous terrain where to see the contrast of its own being, and to know what it is capable of. The Subconscious would be like the playing field of the conscious, while the unconscious would be like the teammates or opponents on the team.
_AM: Like in football. Every game or sport is born from a logic or need to understand the environment, to prepare to move in it. Thus, in the game, pursuing a goal becomes essential due to the ancestral memory of hunting. He who manages to hunt the largest and most quantitative prey wins a happy winter or drought. In football you can see that hunt in which two tribes fight for the largest mammoth, trying to make it fall over the cliff in a specific space, a delimited arc to know exactly where to capture it. Many games have emerged from this basic need to survive. Thus, through fun, it was ensured that children learned the basic tactics of survival, just as dogs and cats play at hunting or fighting each other. The game is a survival practice. Thus, the subconscious is the entire stadium and playing field, with delimitations, lines, directions and a context on which to rely, whether it is grass or dirt or cement, this will influence the results. My teammates and those on the opposing team will be part of the unconscious, with those that I have problems to solve, or in whom I blindly trust. The ball is the object you want to obtain, and taking it towards the arch, towards the precipice, is the adventure that ensures that the tribe lives another year.
_I: This is how the conscious person designs the move, but to achieve his goal, he must learn to trust his unconscious and have a notion of the subconscious terrain. If he denies them, chances are he will lose the ball.
_AM: That is why it is necessary to be aware of all levels. The conscious does not seek to be conscious, he seeks to understand the game he created, and improve it. The game is the same, the rules or laws are the same for everyone, and yet, each player is unique, he has his own strategy, his own gifts, his own intentions, his abilities are shown and distinguished from the others. Consciousness knows about the game, by learning from the strategies.
_I: So it doesn't matter if you know the rules of the game, if you don't discover what you're capable of in it, it's worthless.
_AM: In the same way that playing a game without knowing its rules makes you make mistakes all the time. When you know the rules of the universe, you can take better advantage of the skills you have to make your move, and those who know the rules will learn more about their own game by watching or being part of it.
_I: Looking is not the same as doing.
_AM: That is why Consciousness decided to expand in each player, and in practice, accumulate knowledge of itself, of what it already knows, but does not know.
_I: What is the difference between knowing and knowing?
_AM: Know comes from “kom” (together, united, in Indo-European) and “gno” (intelligence, acquisition, in Indo-European). That is, taking external aspects and acquiring them as your own through discernment. Intelligence refers to the ability to read between the lines, to interpret and discern. Some mammals, but other animals too, achieved this ability through trial and error. A cat, a dog and an octopus are at the same level of intelligence and discernment; although some birds like the crow look for a place among them. An elephant, a dolphin, a whale, are at a level similar to that of an orangutan, chimpanzee and gorilla, being at a higher stage of intelligence. And then, the hominids, among whom since Austrolopithecus we have had our ancestors the Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens. From the latter, Homo Sapiens-Sapiens emerged in the last 200,000 years, that is: the Human Who Thinks and Thinks, the Wise Human. In evolution, intelligence refers to the ability to understand the difference between things and memorize them for later use in similar cases. This implies that the animal does not keep the information of "the cactus clicks", but rather it keeps with the information: “anything that has thorns can hurt me,” and he manages to identify it. And there is one more step in intelligence, learning to use it. Use the thorn as a construction tool, like a needle. And so comes the next level that is typical of humans: manifesting ideas and emotions in the fabrics that they make with the needle, projecting their imagination into reality. Knowledge is understanding the world around you as data that must be assimilated, transformed and reused in new circumstances. Learning something leads me, then, to Apprehending, that is, to making the acquired knowledge my own. On the contrary, Wisdom is related to the innate ability to awaken ability, understanding and intelligence through simple inner perception, without the need to acquire external methods.
_I: It would be like Knowledge is learning to write, but Wisdom is making poetry. No matter how much poetry you have read, it is impossible for you to make good narrative if it is not in your inner power...
_AM: That's right, in turn you can understand that wisdom is a quality of savoring existence, while knowledge is swallowing it without having tasted it. And this is because “Wisdom” comes from the verb “sapere” which means “to taste.”
_I: Related to the sense of Taste.
_AM: Exactly. Animals have developed intelligence in the ability to discern, and one of the most important discernments is carried out by Taste, since your life depends on it, knowing what you ingest, what you consume, if it is poisonous, toxic, healthy... This prompted the development of the other senses, and awakening the brain to intelligence. Wisdom, then, is not related to the crown or third eye chakra, but to the throat chakra, to the word, to the verb, to learning, to education, to intelligent discernment. And so, you must think very well that Wisdom is what comes out of you, and Knowledge is what enters you. You can never gain wisdom from what others explain or show you or teach you. You will never obtain wisdom through a book, movie or course, nor will you be able to give wisdom to anyone. Wisdom is a personal, internal perception that develops with one's own ability to savor knowledge, to sharpen the sensations of flavor. Knowledge is the only thing you can ingest and give, the only thing you receive in talks, courses, teaching, in sharing, a book, a movie.
_I: Everything that is data from the world and what I consume from it is data for knowledge, while those that awaken in me through my own intelligence are what is called wisdom. Knowledge is acquired, Wisdom is innate.
_AM: Wisdom is linked to the gifts and skills that make the game original, while Knowledge is the technique learned to improve the game.
_I: But Wisdom can be nourished by Knowledge…
_AM: …It must be nourished by knowledge. Therefore, it is important to discern what knowledge you ingest, as this can obscure or clarify your wisdom. Everything you see, hear, consume from the world, nourishes your wisdom. What you say you know provides tools to improve your Homo Sapiens-Sapiens capacity. Watch what you eat to stay in shape.
_I: We must not despair then when we hear information and we do not understand it at first, but we must learn to savor it like a good dish until we recognize all its flavors, its knowledge...
_AM: Flavor nourishes consciousness, swallowing knowledge only fills your stomach for a few hours. Learn to savor, therein lies the joy of the Conscious search. The true winner in the game of existence is the one who savors the game, who enjoys his teammates, who knows how to congratulate his opponent because he is not in a battle with enemies, the one who picks up the ball with love, and who knows that he was not competing. , but grew as an individual by giving to others in that experience.
_I: Savor the game... That is the only reality, the only possible path, because when I reach the goal of Consciousness in the Origin in full Wisdom, I will say to myself: "Shall we play another game?"
_AM: And that next time you will know how to savor existence.
