Fresh Wisdom has its own unique language, and some terms may not be familiar to the first time visitor. Here is a basic list of the terms you will find used on this site.

• Absolute Truth:

  An absolute truth, sometimes called a universal truth, is an unalterable and permanent fact. The concept of absolute truths - what they are and whether they exist - has been debated among many different groups of people. Philosophers have waded in the muck of defining absolute truth for millennia. For example, Plato believed that absolute truth existed, but that truth on earth was merely a shadow of great forms of absolute truth existing in the universe. Alternatively, many believe in relative truths, where facts may vary depending on the circumstances.
  
  
  
  

• Ancient Wisdom:

  Ancient Wisdom has always been in the world. It is knowledge of the nature of things and of human nature. It is the Wisdom of understanding and compassion, of which all of us feel in need in the depths of our being. A careful reading of any Ancient Wisdom will show its relevance and significance to each of us personally. To be wise we have to learn to apply the principles of Ancient Wisdom to the detailed circumstances of our lives. In this Wisdom we sense our own strength, our own self-sufficiency. It gives us hope and the courage and determination to face life, however hard.
  
  
  
  

• Beginning of Wisdom:

  
  
  
  
  

• Beyond Freedom:

  
  
  
  
  

• Book of Wisdom:

  The Book of Wisdom or Wisdom of Solomon or simply Wisdom is one of the deuterocanonical books of the Bible. It is one of the seven Sapiential or wisdom books of the Septuagint Old Testament, which includes Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon (Song of Songs), and Ecclesiasticus (Sirach). The essential principles of the Book of Wisdom have been modernised using today's language and included in Fresh Wisdom.
  
  
  
  

• Change Your Life:

  Every individual possesses the power to change one's life. We are what we think we are. The habitual inclination of our thoughts determines our talents and abilities, and our personality. Thus, some think they are writers or artists, industrious or lazy, and so on. What if you want to be other than what you presently think you are? You may argue that others have been born with the special talent you lack but desire to have. This is true. But they had to cultivate the habit of that ability some time. So whatever you want to be, start to develop that pattern now. You can instill any trend in your consciousness right now, provided you inject a strong thought in your mind; then your actions and whole being will obey that thought.
  
  
  
  

• Collective Wisdom:

  
  
  
  
  

• Conscious Living:

  Life has to be lived - why not live it consciously - the highest way? You could look at a beautiful piece of art or an ideal situation and find some fault with it. But why do that? Look for the good in everything that you see. Life is a celebration and not a tragedy or comedy for those who live consciously. To live consciously is to live in awareness of who 'I am' under all circumstances. This awareness opens up a whole new dimension of one's existence which is free from pain and suffering. This state of 'being peace' is not 'because of' but 'in spite of' the world of changing thoughts, emotions and objects.
  
  
  
  

• Conventional Wisdom:

  A belief or set of beliefs that is widely accepted, especially one which may be questionable on close examination. Conventional wisdom has been holding people back for tens of centuries. Being in the majority is a recipe for disaster. John Kenneth Galbraith once said, 'In economics, the majority is always wrong.' He could have left out 'In economics'. He also said: 'The conventional view serves to protect us from the painful job of thinking.' Conventional Wisdom is also known as an argumentum ad populum (Latin: "appeal to the people"), in logic, is a fallacious argument that concludes a proposition to be true because many or all people believe it; it alleges that "If many believe so, it is so." In ethics this argument is stated, "If many find it acceptable, it is acceptable."
  
  
  
  

• Cosmic Consciousness:

  Cosmic consciousness is the concept that the universe is a living superorganism with which animals, including humans, interconnect, and form a collective consciousness which spans the cosmos. The idea bears similarity to Teilhard de Chardin's conception of the noosphere, James Lovelock's Gaia theory, to Hegel's Absolute idealism, and to Satori in Zen. It is reminiscent of Carl Jung's collective unconscious. Cosmic Consciousness: A Study in the Evolution of the Human Mind is the title of a 1901 book on historical forms of mysticism by Richard Maurice Bucke.

Fresh Wisdom helps you find the The Meaning of Life, and answer to the one question we all need an answer for: what should we do with our lives?
  
  
  
  

• Gift of Wisdom:

  The gift of wisdom is the application of knowledge acquired through meditative thought and quieting the mind. This type of wisdom is a gift which cannot be gained through conventional study or experience and should by no means try to replace them. It is often referred to in a Biblical sense, meaning that the gift of wisdom comes from God.
  
  
  
  

• Effective Development:

  
  
  
  
  

• Finding Purpose in Life:

  Until you find the purpose of your life, you are doomed to live a life of mediocrity. Once you've found your purpose in life, everything else (and I do mean everything) falls into place in the most magical, awe-inspiringly beautiful manner. It defies description, and anyone who tries to define it does the process injustice. It's a progression which no-one but yourself can take you through. You cannot read about it, listen to someone telling you what to do, or do anything other than discover the purpose of your life on your own. Fresh Wisdom helps in finding purpose in life.

• Higher Self:

  Higher Self is a term associated with multiple belief systems and is associated with the eternal, conscious, and intelligent being. The term has been popularized by those involved in new age and new religious movements (Neopaganism); however, it is used by many different groups and it can therefore have multiple meanings and interpretations. It has been linked to Aleister Crowley and the Holy Guardian Angel, as well as Theosophists.

This can be a decision about career, relationships, family, friends, sexuality, choices concerning ethical issues and moral dilemmas and Major life choices in general. For instance, whether or not to have children.
  
  
  
  

• Life Purpose Statement:

  How can we discover the purpose for our lives? By preparing a Written Life Purpose Statement. Every man should prepare a Written Life Purpose Statement that reflects his understanding of 'what his life is all about.' The idea of a Written Life Purpose Statement answers life's larger questions such as Why do I exist? What are my functions in life? It reflects our examination of life's larger meaning. A Life Purpose Statement is the thread of continuity that you can weave into the long-term view of life. It describes how you perceive the theory of your life.

• Making Sense of Life in a Senseless World:

  Teacher, teach me "sense making" in the increasingly senseless world. Teach me not just what is good or what is bad. I may not always be lucky to be in situations that will be simply either black or white.
  In a world in which Gods will have feet of clay and Godmen will be more men and less God, teach me how to make sense of things such that I am able to understand things around me without the intermediation of sooth sayers and spiritual Gurus. Teach me such that I am able to, and willing to receive inputs from everywhere and wisdom from some.
  But in moments of crisis, teach me such that I am able to come to my own conclusions. - Subroto Bagchi
  
  
  
  

• Markus Hart:

  
  
  
  
  

• Meaning of Life:

  The meaning of life is the philosophical concept about the purpose and significance of human existence. It is the subject of much philosophical and scientific study, and much theological speculation. It can include a range of questions such as: Why are we here? What is the nature of reality? and What is the value of life? Fresh Wisdom suggests that there is a very definite meaning of life, but that we are never taught this information.

  Spiritual development as a way of life concerns itself with aligning the human will and mind with that dimension of life and the universe that is harmonious and ordered. As such spiritual disciplines (which are often part of an established religious tradition) enjoin practitioners (trainees or disciples) to cultivate those higher potentialities of the human being that are more noble and refined (wisdom and virtue). Accordingly, many spiritual traditions across diverse cultures share similar vocabulary. Terms such as the "path", the "work", the "practice" are universally applied to the ongoing discipline involved in transforming the coarser energies present in the human soul into more subtle and pleasing ones.
  
  
  
  

• Spiritual Enlightenment:

  What does it mean to experience, "Enlightenment"? Enlightenment is a continuous realisation that you are an eternal being who will never die. It comes from a deeper knowing that you are beyond body and behind the mind. It is celebrating every moment of the day with the feeling of being intimately connected to the entire Universe, as if it is a living, breathing, conscious intelligence that loves you unconditionally. It is surrendering to this truth everywhere you are.
  
  
  
  

• Spiritual Growth:

  Spiritual growth is a deeply personal quest for self discovery and what our true selves really are. "I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect... Truth, being limitless... cannot be organized; nor should any organization be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path.
  
  If you first understand that, then you will see how impossible it is to organize a belief. A core belief is purely an individual matter, and you cannot and must not organize it. If you do, it becomes dead, crystalized; it becomes a creed, a sect, a religion, to be imposed on others." - J. Krishnamurti

• Wisdom for Life:

  
  
  
  
  

• Wisdom Literature:

  Fables, proverbs, essays and prophecies teaching morality and behavior. Wisdom literature is typically written as a result of life's experiences. The authors, or teachers of wisdom literature studied the complexities of life & sought out ways to cope with it, --i.e. deal with the adversity, inequities, and contradictions of life. This explains contradictions found within the corpus of wisdom literature. Life is contradictory, and often coping with it is paradoxical, and our own lives are often contradictions.
  
  Wisdom literature is the genre of literature common in the Ancient Near East. This genre is characterized by sayings of wisdom intended to teach about divinity and about virtue. The key principle of wisdom literature is that whilst techniques of traditional story-telling are used, books also presume to offer insight and wisdom about nature and reality. The most famous examples of wisdom literature are found in the Bible.
