The Philosopher’s Tome.

Most of us try to imbibe wisdom by trying to decode the knowledge we feel is hidden in the words, verses or scholarly tomes of holy books, verses of sages, poets and philosophers. We try to learn about life by trying to decipher the messages of these works and this setting becomes a theater of the absurd. Real wisdom lies in decoding the instinct deep within our own hearts and knowing how to deconstruct these thoughts or follow it in trying to live this intuitive knowledge. We must distill our thoughts into similar phrases and as they unfold as a stream of consciousness from our fragile intellects collect it to make our own story or tome. Just like the verses of a poet a deeper narrative lurks between the lines of our life wrung from the past history. This will sharpen our senses as we realize there is exquisite sensuality, extreme sadness and explosive intrigue in our own lives and love. The charming incidental anecdotes in our own lives are something to embrace, entertaining and sometimes painfully poignant with a lesson like a self described teacher. Some philosophers liken this to a stream which can seep into our veins and opens like a flower into an aquifer. This latent spiritual guide within our inner self has been our blind spot in youth. As we mature it becomes intrinsic to life with its own particular wisdom. Following others wisdom is like a blue light which will make you miss the sense of where you are going or want to go. Your heart has its reasons and the poets written words or sayings has its seasons…. –Vinay-
