			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.deviniyer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Buddha1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-89" style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 15px;" title="Buddha" src="http://www.deviniyer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Buddha1.jpg" alt="" width="290" height="290" /></a>There is vast difference between knowledge and understanding, information and application,  philosophy and wisdom.</p>
<p>Wisdom is essentially a deeper understanding of life and the world &#8211; and of ourselves &#8211; an outlook which can lead to more intelligent choices, more beautiful relationships, and more peace and happiness, and optimum living. It can promote more harmony amongst all people, leading to a world of peace, love and understanding.</p>
<p>I think wisdom can be very pivotal in bringing about a more enlightened world. After spending almost half my life, focused pretty passionately on life&#8217;s fundamental questions and answers, on philosophy and spirituality, I&#8217;ve come to see that together with all the other beautiful and powerful healing modalities and practices a lot of us are engaging in, it will benefit us hugely to deepen our understanding of life, and experience more clarity and wisdom,  bringing about a grander experience of life, and a more beautiful world for us all.</p>
<p>To serve this idea, I&#8217;m developing www.homeofwisdom.com (not displayed yet) as a home of all things wise and true.</p>
<p>These are some of the key features and offerings on the website:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<ul>
<li>
<h5><strong><strong>a library of wisdom relating to fundamental aspects of life and  the world.</strong></strong></h5>
</li>
<li>
<h5><strong>a place where people can learn about the principles of life and share their own wisdom </strong></h5>
</li>
<li>
<h5><strong>a forum where people can discuss life issues and current situations </strong><strong>functionality which enables people to rate ideas and theories, and get an idea of what more/most people agree on.</strong></h5>
</li>
<li>
<h5><strong>various offerings from world teachers in written, audio and video formats</strong></h5>
</li>
<li>
<h5><strong>an offering of self development, and spiritual growth courses.</strong></h5>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Wisdom is not something that is ancient, or dying! It is today. It is here. It is now! Wisdom is alive and well, and growing, and developing.  I believe everybody has wisdom of some sort or the other. Homeofwisdom.com is a space in which to remind us that it is alive, to refine it, share it, and celebrate it. The basic purpose is to help humanity learn how to live enlightened lives and create a better world.</p>
<p>I have a dream&#8230; a simple, yet grand dream &#8211; Heaven on Earth in our lifetime.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re interested to contribute, have a suggestion, or would like to be informed of the launch, leave your details below and I&#8217;ll stay in touch.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.deviniyer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/gods-sunset.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-71" style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 15px;" title="gods sunset" src="http://www.deviniyer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/gods-sunset.jpg" alt="" width="290" height="290" /></a>I generally steer away from using the word God, as it has become a tarnished and very misunderstood word. But today I find it necessary to use the word to discuss this topic.</p>
<p>Some people say that our purpose in life is to serve God. Indeed some religions teach this.</p>
<p>This suggests that God is a needy entity, perhaps unhappy, and a being that created other beings to satisfy her own needs, whims, and desires!</p>
<p>Poor God!!</p>
<p>But once you come to a more accurate understanding of what God is, and who you are in relation to God, and of what life’s purpose is, you come to see that this is quite a mistaken idea.</p>
<p>We are not separate from God, and we are not separate from each other. Indeed nothing is separate from anything else! Separation is an idea born in the mind that misconceives the true nature of things. This can happen when the mind is informed by the senses alone, or by mistaken beliefs.</p>
<p>At deeper levels of existence everything is in exchange, interconnected, interpenetrating, everything is in relation, and at the deepest level everything IS ONE.</p>
<p>It is at this level of Absolute Oneness where there is no separation between the creator and the created. At this level you are not separate from the creative essence (or God.)</p>
<p>Indeed you are an extension and expression of the divine creative force (or God), and being such, your very existence in physical form serves this creative force. Through you consciousness experiences tastes; sounds; sights, feelings; thoughts; desires; new ideas and evolution into higher forms of being and greater levels of consciousness.</p>
<p>So your very existence serves God!</p>
<p>So free yourself from the idea that you HAVE TO DO anything else to serve God or any other agenda.</p>
<p>Find comfort in this knowledge. Find inspiration in this idea. Indeed find freedom in this realisation.</p>
