The Infinite Wisdom

Written by Mathew Naismith

First of all what is infinite wisdom, what is meant by when we say infinite wisdom? From the Cambridge dictionary; used to show that you do not understand why someone has done something and that you think it was a stupid action:

In action: The authorities, in their infinite wisdom, decided to close the advice centre.

Well I’m actually not meaning it exactly in this sense, what I do mean is that wisdom is limitless and eternal so what wisdom could be this limitless and eternal?  Some people would say God or the source of all creation and others would say someone who is very knowledgeable especially about most of everything that there is to know about however in my mind neither is exactly true.

Because spirituality is about the collective as a whole, how would we define what is or who is of infinite wisdom and who isn’t? You can’t actually do that without fragmenting the collective and once you have fragmented the collective you are no longer spiritually talking about the collective as a whole because of it’s fragmentation.  We could say God is the representative of infinite wisdom but what about the rest of consciousness. By stipulating God is the infinite wisdom of everything within existence, are we still talking about the collective as a whole? No not really because we don’t see ourselves of being of that infinite wisdom, that is wholly and solely of God’s domain however by doing this we are no longer talking about the collective as a whole.  The same would be if we were talking about people who are highly knowledgeable; we are still fragmenting the collective. So how do we get away from fragmenting the collective and still pinpoint what is meant by being infinitely wise and in whom is this infinite wisdom referring too?

Before we answer this question, what first of all makes one wise, is it knowledge and experience? In a human sense knowledge and experience would define wisdom, what about in a divine sense, would this be the same? Actually I don’t think so because I don’t believe infinite wisdom is of time therefor wisdom doesn’t come about through knowledge and experience because knowledge and experience are of time, time creates knowledge and experiences. Knowledge and experience just can’t exist without time to gain such knowledge and experience.  

So if it’s not knowledge and experience that creates wisdom what could it be? The only thing left is the divine but infinite wisdom can’t be just of the divine because again we are fragmenting the collective; there is no collective as a whole in this so what else could  infinite wisdom be referring too? Yes the divine isn’t of time but we are still fragmenting the collective whole.

The infinite wisdom is obviously referring to the whole collective which means you and me as well. How could this be when most of us are noticeably not of this infinite wisdom?  Ah but we are, we are just ignorant or unaware of such things that is why anyone who is more knowledgeable than we would seem to us to be infinite in their wisdom.  If we are all of this infinite wisdom how come we don’t show it?

There are two reasons for this, one is we think infinite wisdom comes through knowledge and experience and two we are just unaware of our prominence of being infinitely wise, it is actually our divine right, in other words it’s natural to us.  Because we only think in time, all wisdom has to come from knowledge and experiences and of course some of it does however infinite wisdom isn’t of time as is of the divine. The problem is we just don’t see ourselves as divine beings so we interact with each other in less than a divine way which is how we created a chaotic reality I feel.  

It seems so funny to me we can’t see ourselves as divine beings living unaware of our infinite divine wisdom, if we actually accepted this at the collective level to be true, this reality would change quite dramatically for the betterment of all.
