Is Wisdom a Gift from the Gods?

I wrote the following in an earlier post, ‘Will your Journey of Life take you Down the Road to Wisdom or Perdition?’,

‘As the ancient philosophers would say, “Wisdom is a much vaunted prize from the Gods!  Where only a  select few of seasoned competitors, who have trained hard in the sport of virtue, can lay claim to it once they pass all the tests of life.  Upon receiving their prize their minds are then rewarded by being set free to ascend to the very heavens themselves.”’

The Gods may or may not exist but we can become gods of ourselves if we choose to use the gift of wisdom to conquer all mortal obstacles  that dares stand in our way.

Let us now elevate our minds to the heavens so that we may excel in the art of living, which will enlighten us on how to realise a paradise of our own making. Read more…

Manly P. Hall again demonstrates his inexhaustible knowledge and wisdom as he gives an educational talk on the Search for the Essential Meaning of Life.

For human beings to grow we must learn to understand our divine and true purpose in life; and where we fit in the universe.

But then again, why would I want to spend anymore time here being tortured by this miserable and superficial planet anyway, with its competitively violent human beings and their ignorant ways – maybe I am the fortunate one. Read more…

I never thought I could learn any sort of wisdom from an actor such as Will Smith, but he surprisingly seems to be a man who excels in positive thinking and also possesses a steely determination to succeed in life.

I always assumed that celebrities usually spent their spare time getting drunk at parties and attending to their looks every second of the day…how wrong was I.

Welcome to Knowledge Reform.com!

This will be my first post on my first ever blog in cyberspace so please be gentle…

I have to admit I do feel a little apprehensive about sharing my thoughts about life to whoever is interested to read them.  My main priority to begin with was to create an objective website that would serve as a central resource of enlightening knowledge that I felt would enhance people’s minds and change their outlook on life.  I have read more books than what’s contained in a small library, listened to countless audio lectures and watched many a documentary which has all somewhat contributed to helping me understand myself and the world.  I thought to myself, “Why don’t I combine the website idea with a blog so that I can share this beneficial knowledge with everyone else” – so here I am!
