One secret in moving into ascension/enlightenment/realization is turning experience into Wisdom. Our Wisdom (W) is that element of each of us that carries our entire experiential history – all of our incarnations. W isn’t all of the details of every experience. Rather, it is the distilled essence.
A common definition of wisdom is the ability to use our past experiences in our current life. (If you automatically repeat a pattern, this isn’t wisdom.) wisdom (not W) is sometimes connected to learning. There is some good truth in this – if we have truly “learned” what there is to know.
Given all of that, how does experience translate into W? Essentially it has to do with you having truly learned the lesson. There is a common saying “Been there, done that. Bought the tee shirt and the hat.” If you are using that saying from the point of view, I’ve been here before, that isn’t wisdom. If it comes from “I’m done with it.,” then you are on your way to both wisdom and W.
So, the dynamic. When we are truly done with an experience (or pattern of experiences) and truly have released it, that experience feeds into our Soul. Soul takes it in, distills it to the essence, and sends it to W. There it is available to us from the master (the voice of W).
The key here is truly being done and releasing it. If you continue to think about it, repeat it, worry about it, . . ., you haven’t released it. The work, then, becomes about releasing it. It is always worthwhile to look at why we are holding on to it so that we can release it.
Simply, fully experience, release, distill, and move it to W. Declare “I move XXX to Wisdom.” “I hold onto NO THING!”
