One of the reasons we pursue enlightenment is to become wise.  Wisdom is gained in spiritual practice through meditation on the third eye. Inner wisdom is accessing parts of your mind where you can see and feel the higher truths in life.

Meditation is the access point to those states of mind. Inner wisdom is different from physical knowledge. It’s also different from intellectual understanding. We sometimes describe it as a “knowing” – intrinsically feeling a deeper truth and reality. Of course, having a clear mind allows us to gain all kinds of wisdom, to see things as they truly are, to have intuition. There are many types of wisdom.

Ultimate spiritual wisdom is gained by merging the mind with the highest vibratory energies available. The planes of light, the causal dimensions, clarify our minds and suffuse us with deeper knowings.  The direct experience of nirvana, the source of all phenomenal experience, is the ultimate goal of meditative practice.  OK, so it’s not really ultimate, since it goes on forever, and it’s not really a goal, in that you don’t just accomplish it once. But it’s like climbing the highest mountain peaks around: it changes your perspective on life. After you come down the mountain, or from the experience of nirvana, you see life differently.  The experience stays with you.

We refer to a meditative state in which you experience nirvana, as Samadhi, a Sanskrit word that means “the breathless state”.  When you go into a state of Samadhi, your breathing slows down and in some cases, stops.  But you don’t die. In a sense you reach a new level of aliveness.
