RIDGEFIELD PARK, NJ, August 18, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Why man has miscalculated wisdom education.
Religion took the lead on wisdom and the religious scholars concluded that wisdom is from God. He 'gives' wisdom to whosoever He chooses. So wisdom is considered something that the chosen 'have'. Science followed the clue from religion and went about trying to 'give' wisdom by teaching wisdom. Students ended up having the knowledge of wisdom. Having the knowledge of wisdom did not make much of a difference in the student becoming wise. So wisdom education has remained more or less a failure to the extent that now hardly any main stream institutes teach wisdom education.
The Bible is clearly showing us how God 'gives' his wisdom. The clue is from the following sentences:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God." - John 1:1
The second clue comes from Genesis 1:27
"So God created man in his own image..."
Wisdom as described by the Bible means, Wisdom is God! Which is different from God having wisdom. God is his Attributes which boils down to God is Wisdom and God is Pure, God is Good. Thus wisdom is good (as in good and evil) and pure. As man is made in God's Image man too is originally wisdom.
So it is clear that God does not give wisdom as knowledge, God gives wisdom as an integral part of the very human nature of man. God's man is pure and good and wisdom.
God does not give man wisdom to 'have'. God makes man into/as wisdom. Our current wisdom education is a failure because it leaves the very human nature of man the way it is and educates man with the knowledge of wisdom. It is like a class that teaches people how to become millionaires. So students have this knowledge of how to become millionaires. The students become experts on how to become millionaires but being experts of this knowledge is not the same as becoming millionaires. Having knowledge does not mean becoming. Becoming wisdom means becoming wisdom.
Wisdom education boils down to integrating wisdom into the very human nature of man. One of the main reasons we are not able to transform man into wisdom is because we do not have a good understanding of the different functions of the brain and mind. The mind works in words and gets it's feed-back/perception from the 5 senses in the present reality. The brain works in set patterns of biochemical reactions based on past experiences of life. The brain has its 'mind' made up about it's own self, others and how the world is and how the world works. The brain filters and alters the current reality through the lens of past experiences. For the majority, the mind mostly lives in the present while the brain still lives in the past. The mind acts on current reality and the brain is a slave of past beliefs, prejudices, hurts, insults, pain etc.
When the student is given wisdom knowledge, the mind tries to accept it and even tries to change it's behavior and passes on the new information to the brain which filters this new knowledge in light of its own old knowledge and so depending on the potency of the old knowledge the new knowledge gets mixed up with the old knowledge of the brain and in the majority of cases nothing changes. It is like there is a glass of stale water. The teacher puts clean water into this glass. The clean water becomes polluted too. In the case of the brain, the brain continues to produce it's own stale pollutant human nature which it expresses physically in biochemical reactions and so the words coming from the mind make no dent. It is like the brain is innately biochemically/physically producing selfish behavior which we try to change through words/persuasion/preaching/scaring etc. It is like asking a skunk to produce perfume.
Current wisdom education is able to get through to the mind which is eager to become wise but the mind's strings are controlled by the brain which is like a wild animal. The brain has its own entrenched version of the new wisdom education knowledge coming in. The brain's physical structure continues to generate ignorance, sweeping aside the new wisdom knowledge.
The mind is like a decent human being and wants to be wise, but the brain is an animal. Can you teach a pig table manners? The only way you can teach a pig table manners is by transforming his brain. We cannot teach a pig table manners because the pig's brain does not have the brain power capacity to know, understand and preform table manners. You can plead all you want and demonstrate all you want; you can even punish him all you want but the pig cannot be taught table manners. And it is not his fault because it is his brain that lacks the ability and the intelligence to understand and preform table manners.
Similarly we try to teach human values by pleading, preaching, coaxing, scaring and even promising rewards but we mostly fail in our efforts. The good people don't need the preaching for their brains are already projecting their inherent goodness. The bad people can't get it what we preach because their brain is projecting the inherent badness and is blocking the understanding of what it means to be humane. So the only way to teach human values is to improve the quality of the human brain.
When we teach wisdom through our current education methods we are trying to teach wisdom to an animal brain. What we need to do is create a wisdom producing brain through brain therapy.
No wonder the current wisdom education is a failure because all we do is teach wisdom, which boils down to man having the knowledge of wisdom while to become wisdom man has to become wisdom.
So John 1:1 makes clear the very nature of wisdom education. Wisdom education is not about having the knowledge of wisdom it is about becoming wisdom!

Please email this Press Release to our President, your Senator, Congressman, Education Secretary and All Those Connected With Education. Pleas Spread the Word That it is now up to our Leaders to fix the Mess in Education and in all Life.
When will our education leaders wake up to the fact that wisdom is a function of an emotional baggage free brain. It is the parent's behavior toward their child that determines the wisdom level in the child. Wisdom is integrated through a healthy upbringing. Those with emotional baggage can also be made wise.
The sooner our Steven Pinkers and education policy leaders wake up to the science of the mind in the Bible the sooner we can be on our way to introducing a whole new subject that coaches mankind into becoming +2 emotional intelligence/wisdom.
The 4th R Foundation which is a non-profit education research foundation that researches informal/emotional intelligence education, human nature, brain, mind, conscientiousness, self, wisdom, life coaching, adult reeducation, shyness, self image, emotional brain baggage etc.
