By the same token, it would be foolish to surrender in the political fight against the deadly disease of oligarchism (which is deadly to the oligarchy as well), simply because the pinnacle of scientific understanding in the realm of sovereignty and economic development has not been demonstrably attained to end poverty and war on this planet.  It is supreme wisdom, therefore, to expand the fight, since the principles of Renaissance and the foundation for sovereignty and development have been discovered and been well demonstrated to some degree.  It is wisdom, too, to draw the oligarchy into this achievable development, which really constitutes the oligarchy's only available means by which it can save its prosperous way of living - which is to bring the whole of humanity up to the same level of sufficiency and comfort.  To pursue this goal is wisdom, because this goal is certainly achievable, and much more than that is achievable.

Wisdom, therefore, is a peculiar thing, it drives us to the edge as far as we can go, but not over the edge.  It doesn't demand anyone to stop eating, but it demands one to take pretty strong stands for the truth, as Christ Jesus did on his own behalf.  The demands of wisdom frequently impose related responsibilities.  The subjection to alcohol and tobacco, for instance, is inherently self-destructive, both morally, and physically.  It isn't recognized as an act of wisdom to subject oneself to such influences and then expect to be metaphysically exempted from the result of the subjection.  Neither is it wisdom to stop eating, or to become obese.  It is interesting to note that some medical doctors have successfully extended this wisdom into medical practice, by advising people to take a reasonable responsibility for their lives.

An analogy comes to mind, of a common aspect of this type of wisdom.  No one in his right mind drives to a gas station and puts diesel fuel in a gasoline powered car.  No one would think of it, but people do similar things every day.  Doctors suggest that people act in precisely such a manner in terms of their eating habits in this age of synthetic food and commercialized diets.  Some doctors are beginning to suggest that many dangerous diseases can be avoided if people were to give their body what it is designed for to operate on.  They have proven that the body will heal itself in most cases if the missing elements are supplementally supplied that modern foods do no longer contain, or that that modern life-styles require.  They acknowledge the existence of a built in spiritual strength, within the body, that is rarely appreciated and utilized in terms of health care, but which is frequently kept severely inoperative due to selective starvation, which these doctors then simply counteract.

An accomplished heart surgeon*(Dr Robert D. Willix, Jr, M.D. - P.O. Box 1051 - Fort Erie - Ontario L2A 5N8) tells in his book "3 Minutes a Day to a 120 Year Lifespan" that he hung up his scalpel after having performed two thousand coronary bypass operations, when it dawned on him why he wasn't helping his patients.  He said that many of his patients were back on the operating table in three to five years, or had died.  He hung up the scalpel when he realized that the big killers of modern times, such as heart disease, cancer, and a long list of others, have a common underlying cause - people are starving their bodies of certain items that are no longer available in modern foods in sufficient quantities or the quantities required for their life-style.  Thus, a more intelligent approach to healing opened up through a technological resource, in this case vitamin supplements, which supplied what the body needs and ideally would get.

What we have defined in the above example are two types of wisdom.  One is based on the highest perception of the physical factors involved.  This type of wisdom pertains to the first dimension.  The second type of wisdom is based on the scientific perception of certain underlying spiritual factors, which open the door to an entirely different approach to healing.
