Volume One
Chapter Eight — The Gift of Wisdom

December: Wisdom

1. Wisdom is both a strand and a totality. As a strand, it is a right course of action. As a totality, it is the sum of all its parts: Patience, Consideration for the Body, Gratitude, Awareness, Serenity, Peace, Enjoyment, Solitude, Togetherness, Wholeness, Kindness, and right course of action. The definition of wisdom in its totality is the embodiment of the soul, the marriage of the body with the soul. Both its advice and way of being are sage. It understands fear but does not engage with it. It sees all individual and collective problems as separation from the soul. A wise "old soul" if you will, models the merging of the ego with the soul, and the ego's eventual consumption, with love as its guide. The following exercises for December concern both the strand definition of wisdom and the totality definition.

2. Guidelines:
Readers should delve directly into the "Gift of Wisdom" after completing all of the "Steps to Authenticity." Simply find the appropriate starting date on the calendar and begin there. Each month of affirmations centers around the theme and each theme is an aspect of wisdom. At the conclusion of this second year, the gift of wisdom will be yours. These exercises will facilitate soul growth by quieting the mind and retraining it to be in service to the soul and not strictly to the ego. Godspeed to all those who tread these waters to refine their authentic selves into shimmering gems.

Epilogue

1. For the first year, in Chapter Seven, "Steps to Authenticity," I explained twelve basic concepts to you: the character who is using the body's brain to process the information I presented. In the daily exercises, you were able to reflect on things that may have been long buried, important things that needed to be released. In the second year, it is your own soul who is speaking to you, wanting to get your attention and develop a closer relationship with you. All souls here want to say the same things, so the exercises are generic and yet they apply to absolutely everyone. There is no one to whom these exercises do not apply. These exercises can be uncomfortable, but there is freedom in discomfort. You will never be free enough to embrace your own true identity unless you take a good look at your own ego or false sense of self.
