4th R Foundation:Wisdom Education is 'Self Image Therapy'/ 'Pure Self Education'.

/EINPresswire.com/Man has understood since ancient times that humanity suffers from a 'lack of wisdom' crisis and man has struggled to find a way out. A whole new subject of philosophy was created to uncover the mystery of wisdom to address this crisis. Unfortunately to this day we still define wisdom as the ancients defined wisdom. The 4th R Foundation has figured out that wisdom is a symptom of the pure self; just as ignorance is a symptom of the impure self. Wisdom is the innate expression of the pure self. So even when we define wisdom we are just defining the symptom and not the symptom causing real entity. Symptoms are secondary entities and so cannot be created or taught on their own. The real health of the entity that causes the symptom has to be addressed. It is very clear that in order to create wise human beings we will have to create pure human beings. Thus we will have to create pure-self education which boils down to emotional healing education. We already have all kinds of therapies that take subnormal individuals to becoming normal. In the case of wisdom education all we have to do is use these same therapies to change normal minds into super normal minds.

Even today scientist, philosophers, psychologists are all focused on trying to understand wisdom by putting wisdom under the microscope. We have found that wisdom is like a fragrance, a symptom, an integral and innate part of the pure self. Thus by putting a fragrance, a symptom, a secondary entity under the microscope just the superficial and fuzzy character traits of the phenomena of wisdom are revealed. It is like putting the mango under the microscope to understand the mango tree. We can go on another 1000 years researching symptoms and we will have little clue of the real nature of wisdom.

The scholars have realized that wisdom is a compound of several qualities and thus they describe wisdom by it's attributes. We have found that wisdom is an 'all entity'. Each and every attribute of wisdom has all the other attributes of wisdom as integral components of it's own character traits. And each and every attribute rises to the quality of wisdom when it is selfless. Thus it is selflessness that powers each and every attribute of wisdom. In fact it is selflessness that powers wisdom. Wisdom is selflessness and selflessness is wisdom. In order to become wise we have to become selfless. Which is exactly what the scriptures have been telling us all along, that is to become wise we have to first become humble. Throughout the scriptures starting with the early Prophets down to Guru Nanak, they have all very clearly stated that the path to becoming wise is through becoming humble.

Yet man has his image of wisdom shaped by philosophers and scientists who claim that wisdom cannot be defined, let alone be taught. They have come to this conclusion because they have been looking at wisdom as if it is an independent entity. They keep putting it under the microscope and all they see is symptoms and innate qualities that give distorted clues to the real nature of wisdom.

Even the religious interpreters of the holy scriptures, the priests and pundits did not, surprisingly, understand the crystal clear and simple meaning of, 'with humility comes wisdom'. They some how misunderstood and concluded that with wisdom comes humility. They have this image that only wise people have the attributes of wisdom. They focused on trying to make man wise rather than seeking wisdom through becoming humble. They understood that one had to become wise to have the character trait of humbleness. So they did not pursue researching the teaching of humbleness beyond the usual of pleading and preaching man to be humble.

In fact as we have a better understanding of the attributes of wisdom; we try to teach the attributes individually. The way we teach is through pleading, preaching, through carrots and sticks. The results of this are mixed and mostly amount to superficial brain washing. The ultimate result of making a person wise does not happen. It is like there is a glass of dirty water and the 'new attribute knowledge' is like a fresh drop of water that is dropped into the old dirty water. The fresh and clean water gets lost in the dirty water and becomes dirty too. Enough fresh drops and the dirty water gets less polluted but still the changed water is not good enough.

In fact it is more like the glass is producing it's won dirty water and no amount of clean water can stop the dirty water from being produced. Only when the glass itself is fixed and made to produce clean water that the glass has pure water. It is like the heat in the house cannot be switched off so we turn on the AC to bring the temperature down. This creates an abnormal situation where both the heat and AC are on. It is virtually the brain that keeps churning out emotionally challenged behavior and the mind tries to manage behavior within the norms of society.

We not only under develop our emotional intelligence we pollute it. As a result personal human capital is misunderstood, misdeveloped and misused; and this affects all human behavior. As a result the brain speaks one language, the mind speaks another and much gets lost in translation. Unfortunately we still have a very fuzzy picture of the human mind and there is much confusion between the functions of the brain and mind. As a result resolving and understanding the brain and mind differences are a big struggle.

Above all individual, group and country self identity is at least partly cloaked in and powered by ignorance, the opposite of wisdom. As a result we have all this emotionally challenging behavior. Because of our ignorance of wisdom we let ignorance powered brains rule life and dictate life's priorities. It is virtually that the brain is physically and emotionally sick and the mind struggles to make sense of all this brain generated emotional ignorance and behavior. The mind tries to keep control of the brain generated emotions by controlling behavior to confirm with the norms of society. No wonder we have huge sections of our society that are a burden on the rest. Their brains and minds work on different tracks. This causes not just emotional damage it causes physical damage to the body as well.

There are vast sections that need emotional therapy help while there are others, in fact hundreds of millions of us who are border line, all we need is awareness of what is going on in our brains and minds, and how we can use our minds to fix our brains.

The key to becoming wise is to get rid of the emotionally challenging behavior producing emotional illness of the brain and the brain becomes wise. The physical brain acts/reacts biochemically producing electrical signals that create the attributes of ignorance/wisdom or a mixture of the two. So it is the physical brain that determines the emotional intelligence/wisdom level of the self. The wisdom level is an innate byproduct of the physical quality level of the brain. We cannot improve the wisdom level just by teaching the qualities of wisdom as it is the physical brain that keeps on producing the ill emotions it is capable of. The brain's emotional illness producing capability has to be removed. Thus wisdom education boils down to brain therapy. The brain's machinery that generates emotional intelligence/wisdom has to be retooled. We can ace this problem. It has to be done. The world needs this new paradigm shift that is a necessary and an essential solution to this emotional leadership madness. Will our leaders even consider reform and add the 4th R of reality to our education curriculum or will we keep recycling the 3 Rs of education?

The bottom line of human behavior what Freud called the id is one's self identity; the self image. The self image is really the face of our mind. The self-image/mind determines how much actual reality of life and every thing in it will be filtered out and how much will be taken in, in a distorted or actual form. In fact all the problems of life happen when we mispercieve our life situations. The key to a perfect life is the ability to be able to comprehend life just the way it actually is. We must become capable of knowing and understanding the truth about everything. The key to knowing the truth is knowing, understanding and becoming one's own true self. Only when one knows and becomes one's fully developed brain and mind is one capable of knowing and understanding life. Thus the key to a perfect life is developing one's mind/brain to the super mature emotional intelligence level that generates the pure/super mature emotionally intelligent self, which is effortlessly and naturally wise.

It is very clear that wisdom education is what we at the 4th R Foundation have termed, Self Image Therapy; which is 'Pure Self Education'. Which enables our self-image/mind perfectly aligned with actual reality as opposed to our distorted personal reality.

So it all boils down to the brain/mind/self-image being able to know the truth of life exactly the way life is. All scientific research is about finding the truth behind every phenomena. Wisdom too is about having the ability to effortlessly figure out the truth of life and everything in it. So we can confidently say that the science of life is wisdom.
