Einstein had the opinion there were 5 ascending levels of intelligence.

Ready?

1. Smart

2. Intelligent

3. Brilliant

4. Genius

5. Simple

Yes, #5 was simple. In other words, WISDOM.

Wisdom thinking means simple thinking, globular thinking of causes and effects. It entails understanding that all events have a cause and effect relationship - blowback - and that events run their course via principles well catalogued by Taoism.  For instance, principles such as  yin turns into yang and yang into yin at extremes. That subsidizing or incentivizing  or advertising behavior produces more of it. 

There are all sorts of wisdom principles I could discuss like this, but all I wanted to do is make you understand that the highest wisdom involves simplicity. The I-Ching, for instance, is said to encode the highest knowledge of Chinese culture in its simple structure. As my teacher always pointed  out, the more advanced a civilization, the simpler its description of knowledge and wisdom.

And speaking of the I-Ching, I’m almost done with the new Karma Calculator fortune program, and wanted to see what it said about Al Gore since he won a Nobel Prize. Gore’s been pretty much ignored for the last several years, and I wanted to see if the Karma Calculator had any hints of worldwide recognition that comes with the Nobel Prize. I was just curious…it doesn’t tell everything but at times it reveals LOTS.

Well one section of the reading does indicate that Gore would receive some type of fantastic reward or recognition – an "imperial decree from heaven" delivered by a phoenix no less (the highest type of  fame and recognition).  So a 1000 year  old book used the words and imagery known in its time to correctly indicate  the highest type of recognition in the land for Gore for 2007. It also suggests he’s working hard on his image this year, or something else to get rid of blemishes.

Here’s a small excerpt from the full Al Gore  Karma Calculator fortune for the year, which runs about 3-4 pages, and you can see the I-Ching’s symbology for great recognition that came through the Nobel Prize.

As the Chinese maintain and as has been proved once again, the I-Ching does embody the height of simplicity and wisdom. You’ll have to wait till later to see the rest of these fortunes…

Ha ha ha … it’s several hours later and someone just told me that the symbology of the burning fish represents global warming. So Gore is acting very holy or sanctimonious (like a monk) pointing out to future generations (the child) that the oceans are warming (the burning fish) but it’s not too late yet.

I’m just laughing and laughing and laughing because when I first posted this hours ago I didn’t realize what that sentence referred to, and now I know. That’s the metaphoric language of the I-Ching for you. Its simplicity has encoded the highest wisdom for explaining Gore’s fortune … and this is from nearly a thousand years ago. Of course this is just a tiny section of the Karma Calculator reading for this year of his life, whereas other sections reveal  lots of details in more direct language, but I didn’t want to publicly reveal them. As long as you have a fairly accurate birth time (to within two hours), you can have a Karma Calculator reading calculated.
