Wisdom and stillness.

In this podcast, Edcart talks with a live audience about the importance of wisdom.

He says the first step is acknowledging the magnitude of what we don't know.

He encourages us to step out of our thinking mind with its relentless judgments and interpretations and step into what he calls

aware, stillness.

It's there that we have access to a deeper intelligence, one connected to our higher purpose,

to realize our oneness with the totality of the universe. I don't know if you remember reading about

Socrates, Greek philosopher, who never wrote anything,

he just talked.

And Plato, who was one of his disciples,

wrote about what Socrates said,

when he was asked, why does the oracle of Delphi call you the wisest of all men?

He said, the reason why I'm the wisest of all men is that I'm the only one who knows that he knows nothing.

Not many people actually have understood over the centuries what I see as the deeper meaning of those words.

Mostly it's interpreted as pretending not to know, feigning modesty, which is a disguised

form of ego. It's like saying, I'm the most eagulless person of all. I'm the most eagulless

person of all. Nobody's more eagerness than me, that's for sure.

I'm the only one who knows that he knows nothing.

I suggest it's not faint modesty.

There's a deeper meaning, and the deeper meaning is that all his extremely creative teachings,

you might know that the teachings all are,

he used to teach in form of dialogues with people.
