After much introspection, thought and meditation, I've come to the conclusion that wisdom is the highest virtue. I define wisdom as knowledge of what is most beneficial / correct / effective in a particular situation. I realize there are other definitions, but this one suits my thinking best.

Regardless of whether or not you agree (that wisdom is the highest virtue), what Spirit or God would you suggest working with if you wanted to tap into wisdom?

Thanks

Well I like wisdom a lot and think the best way to go about getting some is to put your self in foreign settings, while studying material like books, and then talking about it with friends over coffee or at a bar. I guess it would be important to firstly make sure you really want the thing people mean by wisdom. I think we share a similar feeling of what it is but if you try to define that common word and feeling, then maybe you're looking to get something out of the word wisdom that would be better explained by a different term. Your definition seems more like pragmatism or a whole sale bundle deal on improving all virtues, whatever those might be.

I've always wondered about getting wisdom from a spirit. Seems sketchy because you would really have to trust it to take care of you. Having a guide is different than just asking for wisdom though. Though an animal, even mythical animal, doesn't seem like a good symbol for wisdom. I feel like a human would be a more appropriate shape, like Gemini. But vagrant would know more about the history and application of those symbols and effectiveness.

Regardless you can always ditch the term and the definition together and just sniff out the route your feelings are leading you. That's probably more what you're going for here.

Expect nothing, or you will get caught up in the future and not pay attention to the present. Just do the practice diligently, do it because you enjoy it, do it because you believe in it. Don't wait for results, don't wait for it to happen.
