Four Parts of Wisdom According to Plato

Four Parts of Wisdom According to Plato - (4913)

According to Plat0:

Wisdom has four parts to it.

1.) Principle of Correctness.

2.) Principle of Justice.

3.) Principle of Fortitude.

4.) Principle of Temperance.

Correctness

Something done correctly is the wisest thing we can do, as if it is not correct it will falter and fail many times causing us and others much grief.

To know how to do things correctly requires wisdom. The effort to do things correctly implies effort of reflection and investigation.

Often the wisdom to do things correctly accumulates from previous learnings from mistakes.

Justice

Give and take the right amount. This keeps balance and keeps all things in their orbits. Things out of their orbit brings clashes and others receiving more unbalances and unbalance is pain in one form or the other.

Always give a little more, as this slight unbalance keeps things moving and flowing. Trust in the justice of eh Gods or Universe when we are thinking of bringing justice into our own hands.

Fortitude

The best opportunities for wisdom come from the greatest problems and difficulties.

Further still sticking through something to the end brings more and more wisdom. As more virtues are invoked and tested and the wisdom of the power of the different virtues deepens and widens.

Temperance

The result of the learning of the two extremes brings the wisdom of the middle, the balance or in other temperance in all things.

Notes

Some other wisdom notes:

'0' in dreams can indicate wisdom. The more "0's" the more wisdom.

Wisdom does not usually bring happiness. Love does. Wisdom brings more responsibility and often bitterness.

Wisdom must be applied with love or compassion or heart otherwise the seductive power of wisdom leads one astray into error or misusing that power. Use wisdom to benefit and help others is the key.

End (4913).

What is the Kundabuffer or Kundartiguador? - (405)

Introduction Gurdjieff and Master Samael spoke much about the Kundabuffer organ and a lot of what Master Samael said is pretty clear. This post is just about going over some of what he said. In the Quinto Evangelio, Master Samael also revealed many more details which do not appear in his books. Note, the Qunito Evangelio is a two tome compilation of transcriptions of many recordings of informal talks that Master Samael had with his students. English and Spanish Terms There are these two terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer which refer to the same thing. Kundartiguador is Spanish and Kundabuffer is English. I believe it was Gurdjieff who first introduced these terms in his book “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson”. I believe “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson” was not originally written in ether Spanish or English. So these terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer are translations where the word “Kunda” could not be translated and the ending "buffer" could b...

When We Speak Bad About Ourselves - Because of Self-Compassion - (2963)

Even Just Thinking Negative When we just even think, let alone speak about ourselves in a negative way, thinking things like: how we are really this and that bad and that is not at all what others see, that we are in capable, worth little, know nothing, can't do this and that, fail at this and that, a liar, a dreamer the list goes on... We can be 100% sure that self-compassion is behind this because pride by itself would never allow this. In a case like this self-compassion taps into what pride hides from itself and others and exposes it. Feeling that it is doing job at ruining ourselves. Why It Does What It Does? Self-compassion does this sort of thing to avoid reprimand and to extract compassion from others. Self-compassion is about getting compassion for ourselves through others. It is set-up in relativity, using others as a reference point. Really the best thing that you can do for a person who is pitted against this ego is to ignore them, so that they can fa...

The Divine Mother is there when we Comprehend - (5780)

A very wonderful instructor gave a talk on Koradi Radio a few days ago and he said something that really impacted. He said that when we comprehend something, our Divine Mother is present right in that moment of comprehension. Especially if it is do with an "I" we are working on. He went on to say that he knows that She is there when we comprehend something. This for me was marvellous, because I have felt the same, though I was never fully sure. This is great news when we want to build a connection to our Divine Mother and doubt when is present. We can know that She is present when we are trying to comprehend. I feel that She really wants us to comprehend the "I" and further more She helps us to comprehend. We can truly ask for Her help to comprehend something and the help will come in such a natural way that we will tend to overlook it. She is better than Google... End (5780).
