PART I: The Wisdom Journey of Our Innocence

Wisdom Journey Course INTRODUCTION; and, Being True to Yourself - Exploring Our Quixotic Nature

Course Introduction:

This personal transformation 4-part wisdom course has been designed to meet you where you are in your pursuit of meaning and purpose in a world that seems increasingly chaotic. We begin the study of wisdom by looking inward. We then move into deeper study of wisdom where we learn that through the directed practice of self-awareness and insight, we can discover the multifaceted features of our ego and the ethereal quality of our soul.

***************************

Part I: Our Quixotic Nature:

From Elizabeth's Wisdom: “We pursue goals in our lives without fully understanding what the goals are or why they are being pursued.”

Our innocent nature is easily influenced by the will of others or by our faulty belief system; so, like Don Quixote, “We chase windmills.” This means that understanding our life through a series of quick fixes is like building a house from scratch with only an incomplete service maintenance kit. All the parts are there, but the ‘how-to-actually build it’ manual is missing.

So, basically we need to understand that, without wisdom, our innocent or quixotic nature tends toward self-centeredness or egotism as a defense against the shocks of life and struggles with impatience, hyperactivity, and inattentiveness. And, our egotism is often the central pyschological and spiritual cause of our addictive and compulsive behaviors. So, the primary wisdom goal for our quixotic nature is to move from self-centeredness to self-management.
