The author has founded his theory of wisdom on the following assumptions: Any sane person can make wise decisions throughout their lifetime, from childhood to old age Wise decisions need not be expert in nature Wisdom ought to be defined in such terms as to be understood not only by experts but by an average man Wisdom is not synonymous to intelligence The wisdom of a given human being decides between two systems controlling man: the biological evolution (by the cross-generational chain of genes) and spirituality, whose acquired system of virtues and values influences the actions of man Wisdom has a range of bandwidth and properties Knowledge on what constitutes wisdom is not the same as the process of becoming a wise man. I forgot that I read a while ago that Waite was trying to keep the GD secrets still secret while Crowley didn't.This book is the first of its kind which defines wisdom as information and the highest level of the cognition units set, composed of data, information, concept, knowledge and wisdom. When he wrote his notes for his work with Trinick, he was more forthcoming they were only for use within his own mystical Order. I guess he wanted it to be mysterious? I don't know.Įdited again: I just read the following from the Secrect of the Waite-Smith: Waite was keeping his vows of secrecy on the symbolism. But I have found it absolutely fascinating.Įdited: I wish Waite did give deeper descriptions of his (minor) cards and of the symbolism. When I began learning Tarot, only about 2 years ago, I had know idea how much was involved. Sometimes I have know idea what you are talking about.īut, I am learning so much more from this forum.
I only have his Oracle of the Tarot and the meanings are brief, so I can't wait to see what he says about each card.įrom other threads/posts, it's obvious that you guys really know what you are talking about and have been reading for a long time. I haven't had time to look through the whole book yet, but I am looking forward to it it's obvious that in this book he goes much deeper. I eagerly went right to the Strength card to see it for myself and there is was, the whole passage LRichard wrote with kindness.
