Manifestation of Wisdom

Wisdom can be called understanding one’s place in the world and the nature of interactions with this world, and obtaining Wisdom can be called the process of clarifying one’s place in the general system of the universe and changing the nature of activity in accordance with this location

The material world is a consequence of the passage of four waves of life, corresponding to the “mineral”, “vegetable”, “animal” and “human” levels of consciousness development, and at each of these levels the vision of the world and one’s place in the world (that is, Wisdom) is manifested differently

At the “mineral stage” the world does not differentiate, and individual consciousness does not stand out from the general flow. Therefore, “Mineral Wisdom” is an awareness of the essential unity of Nature
At the “vegetable stage”, individuality is distinguished, which, nevertheless, is perceived only as part of the whole. The plant perceives the universe as the source of its existence. In other words, “Plant Wisdom” is an understanding of oneself as part of the overall harmony of the Universe

At the “animal stage”, one opposes oneself to the whole of the Universe, which is perceived not only as the source of life, but also as the cause of death. The animal fights the world for its survival. Therefore, “Animal Wisdom” is an awareness of the world as a unity and struggle of opposites, life and death, where mutual “eating,” on the one hand, is necessary for the survival of some, but on the other hand, it ceases the existence of others

At the “human stage” of development, Consciousness begins to perceive the world as a collection of individual figures, each of whom has his own goals and objectives. In other words, “Human” Wisdom is an understanding of the multicolored nature of the world, the complexity and diversity of interactions in it, and awareness of oneself as an equal note in the world symphony

Another important manifestation of Wisdom is that it gives birth to Love. At the “mineral” stage, love is the love of “everything for everything”, at the “vegetative” stage it is the love of the Particular for the Whole, at the “animal” stage it is love for similar systems (one’s family, etc.), and at the “human” "—individual love, the love of one unique individual for another unique individual
