How to be Wise

[@zoltanfabiansk5795]

Wisdom is directly proportional to the ability to be quiet! :)

[@rationalmystic5]

Amazing ....bravo....that's exactly what I have been struggling with. Understanding the divinity within me and not able to integrate it with the practicality of life. The way how I see it divine wisdom does not put food on the table practical wisdom does. And practical wisdom does not help you enjoy that food on the table divine wisdom does. Its all still complicated but meditation has helped. This video helped too. .....and I'm not just saying that. I mean it. Thank you for your work ma'am. Deep gratitude.

Honesty & openness is beautiful.

[@christopherwarren2965]

Beautifully articulated Emerald. Thank you

[@krolessa1]

Yay!!!! you are back

[@TheDiamondNet]

Yep! I have another one in the works too. :)

“But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peaceable, reasonable, ready to obey, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial”

[@samm8728]

Thank you!! Great video. Love the point about recognizing practical and higher wisdom. A problem i have when attempting this shadow work is that i almost always find a shadowy motive for everything i do or consider doing. I struggle with an ego hangup of feeling like i am a bad person and that everything i do is for misguided or egocentric reasons. This feeling was born from a few realizations i had about some actual crappy things i was doing to people (mostly unconsciously and from impulse) - and when i realized how i was being i just felt awful and like my motives are all bad. So now i know a balance is in store, because I don’t trust any motivation i feel, and it has largely left me in a state of paralysis. It’s like, what are the things i actually love and what is just BS? So thanks again for the video! Just throwing this out in case it resonates with anyone reading

I always have to point out the level of awareness we can get off of ourselves through dreams. Most precisely... I rely a lot on the experience of Active Imagination. Purely receiving the message from the unconsciousness, just like an insight. Just more...concrete. But as always, wonderful video!

[@TheDiamondNet]

Thank you! I eventually want to do a video about Active Imagination and another video about Jungian Dream Work. They are really helpful practices. Have you read "The Red Book?"

[@Matheus-ki9zo]

+The Diamond Net I'm definitely looking forward for the Active Imagination video. As for the Red Book, sadly no. I am sure that if I look further for it into the Internet, I might come across it in, at least, PDF. But this is the kind of book I just can't help but to hold it in my hands and read it with my own eyes. In my words, to really feel the book.

Congratulations on 5K subscribers and congratulations on the new lights.

Thank you

[@OliverCowlishaw]

Thankyou Emerald. Geat video as always. You continue to be an inspiration to me on KZbin. Much love and peace

[@TheDiamondNet]

Thank you! Keep on trucking! :D Love and peace back at you, as well.

[@Angell_Lee]

Beautiful, thank you Emerald! I wonder if you wrote a book or plan on doing so? I highly advise doing so, your story and insights are very interesting xo

[@altair5953]

Thanks for this fam, very insightful

[@TheDiamondNet]

You're welcome and thank you! :)

[@danihoek7341]

I Love you so much 💗

Thank you.

I have always found that wisdom is what is learned from applied knowledge 😁

[@Goldzerah]

I tried to induce the astral projection, but I slept. I woke up in the middle of the dream, listening to various noises, but I could not see anything. I felt I was passing through a portal, advancing into something, but I was terrified and forced my way back to the body immediately. It took a while to get rid of the noise and I felt like I was coming back anyway. I was in a trance, as if I were drugged, I think I could move but it was slowly, I could see but... lazy. Then I went back and I was normal again. Can you try to clarify what happened to me?

"Homework" was what I heard described as the integrating of wisdom gained by spiritual seekers in the 60s. You can't strip down, ego-wise, completely unless you're isolated. It's there; how we "emotionally armor" ourselves is significant. "Banausic" is a Greek-derived word from "banausikos, of an artisan... nonintellectual, vulgar...relating to or concerned with earning a living - used pejoratively...'Contempt for the banausic occupations' - T.S. Eliot Also: Utilitarian, Practical...'Disdains such mundane and banaustic considerations as comfort and durability' - G.B. Boyer..." From Webster's Ninth. Your explorations of the "shadow side" considerations, also parsing the many behaviors seen in the avoidance context is very "real"... confronting the traps of being "cool" or sort of a snob... Being practically "grounded" isn't bad but a corrective. We're all works in progress... (please) keep on chopping the wood (here)!

[@TheDiamondNet]

I'll definitely keep chopping the wood for sure. ;) By the way, I am way backed up on my email messages and I saw a couple from you in there. I plan to get to them in the coming weeks. But in the mean time, know I haven't forgotten about them.

This is like Leo's video: How to be strategic,but still decent content. In life you have to be wise and figure everything out for yourself,be smart and strategic. I look at life like a game of chess and I am the king 😁

[@vojin63]

hey diamond its me again! i come often here to ask questions bcs im not sure where else! last morning i was dreaming, and in the middle of the dream i felt vibrations and i instantly "woke up" but i stayed in my dream so i guess in that moment it was lucid dreaming. I started seperating but not from my physical body but from my lucid body, i felt it like always when i astral project, like it was pulling me back and i fought it and i seperated and ended up projecting in that same dream i had, not in this reality but in my dream and not from my body but lucid dream body, what was this im so confused? thank you for always answering my questions much love!

[@tomatodragon318]

Hello Emerald i have a question to ask you. How if you don`t assign meaning to the 'things' in the world you live and try to see their "real" side for example "up" "down" "north" "east" how you are able to survive,adept and progress as a human being? isn`t this point of view unnatural if you stop explaining stuff (block your curiosity) by saying for example "why should thing about this water tube" "it is just as it is and there is no point of assigning meaning" "everything is just as it is why should i trouble my mind explaining it" ?

[@TheDiamondNet]

Well, my main goal is expansion in awareness from different perspectives. And my other goal is to be able to live from that state of awareness and live a good, happy, healthy life. So, keeping those goals and keeping my focus on my emotional state and what emotional ends I really want from all of this keeps me in check. Also, knowing that there's a distinction between practical truths and existential truths, and that both are valid perspectives is good for functioning in the world while truth seeking. For example, from a higher perspective, all is one thing and that thing is 100% perfect and the root of that thing is love and God. But from the lower perspective, I can also recognize that everything practically functions as separate and that there are many things that are not optimal and that should be improved. Also, just because "all is one", doesn't mean that I can go and "be one" with the lions and still live to talk about it. So, it comes down to being wise, and knowing which perspective is most appropriate and most helpful in the situation at hand. And the higher perspectives aren't always the most wise from an everyday perspective... in fact, using them can be quite foolish.

[@swartetc]

You can be wise because you are wise.

[@Kraflyn]

Hi. Have you tried transcendental meditation? Cheers! :D

[@raycosmic9019]

Knowledge = organized data. Understanding = Knowing how to apply Knowledge. Wisdom = Competent application of Knowledge. Inner/Outer More/Less Better/Worse Yes/No

[@bennyhinn7239]

to be wise is to not have ego.

[@thespacefrogdigbaby2508]

benny hinn Nope some of the wisest people are egomaniacs

[@Goldzerah]

Hi from Brazil! First, sorry about my english... Many times when i "wake up" i can't move my body but i can controll my breath, i stay in this "mode" for 10-30 seconds. This happen since i had 13 years old, 7 years so. But the problem, or not, is that recently this happan every day, for example wednesday last week i "wake up" and can't move seven times in the same night. I see this like a necessary thing for my spirit, but i'm lost because i don't what i have to do or any answer about this facts. i already have a little spiritual experiencies, like fly how to fly but i never got it trying to have. So, maybe you could help me? Again, sorry about my english, i swear that i will learn.

[@TheDiamondNet]

You are having sleep paralysis. I have a few videos on the phenomenon. I've been getting it since I was 13, and it is the gateway to astral projection. The videos are titled as follows: "Sleep Paralysis and OBE" "How to Induce Sleep Paralysis" "How to Have and OBE" "Astral Projection Difficulties" (interview with Phase Evolution) They all should be on the same playlist.

[@Goldzerah]

The Diamond Net thank you!

[@jammili]

Great video Emerald! Gratitude!

This girl is awesome. Smart pretty and deep. 👍

[@TheDiamondNet]

Thank you! :)

[@TheDashingRogue]

to be wise is to admit you know nothing

[@scarletohary]

The Dashing Rogue NOT sure about that

[@marcpelletier1366]

Your roadblock is being too attached to thoughts, intuition is just a sensitized thought. Whats wrong with being at baseline all the time? People are looking for enlightenment. You say you are not, but it is the same. Whether you want a new car or simple peace of mind, it is still a painful search. The secular leaders tell you one way, the holy men another way. It makes no difference-as long as you are searching for peace of mind, you will have a tormented mind. If you try not to search, or if you continue to search, you will remain the same. You have to stop. You don't stop searching because such an act would be the end of you. My motive is direct and temporary: you arrive seeking understanding, while I am only interested in making it crystal clear that there is nothing to understand. There is the actual need to be free from answers themselves.

Kozmic Blues perhaps if I can break the continuity of thought, just for a second, one might be able to stand on their own feet. If not, I'll still sing my song and go. (:

One must be free from the very idea of consciousness, unless one is seeking petty experiences.
