They discuss how true wisdom arises not through constant accumulation of knowledge but through engaging with things as they are, whether it’s sitting with a tree, understanding a household problem, or creating art. They contrast knowledge, understanding, and wisdom using relatable examples, emphasizing the importance of practice and mindfulness. The episode encourages listeners to slow down, embrace stillness, and appreciate the value of presence and acceptance.Thank you for Liking and Subscribing to this podcastThank you for sharing this episode with your loved ones, friends and community--- Thank you for Tips or Donations: https://ko-fi.com/cedorsett https://patreon.com/cedorsett Substack: https://www.creationspaths.com/ For all of the things we are doing at The Seraphic Grove go to Creation's Paths https://www.creationspaths.com/ For Educational Resource: https://wisdomscry.com Guided Meditations Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0J2QAAlD1uaIJvQ3Sr9sIqO Christopagan Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0ISXDQkZBRB7EHrUUJgXlGN The Everything Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0Ln3eGW-tDk2R68PM6c182OCreation's Paths Podcast: http://www.creationspaths.com/podcast Church of the Oak Podcast: http://churchoftheoak.com/Hallowstead Podcast: http://hallowstead.com/Social Connections: BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/creationspaths.com Threads https://www.threads.net/@creationspaths Instagram https://www.instagram.com/creationspaths/## Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Learning and Subtraction00:26 Exploring the Concept of Via Negativa00:48 Meet the Hosts: Charlie and Brian02:02 Understanding the Dark Moon02:54 The Philosophy of Learning Styles07:02 Connecting with Nature: The Tree Practice12:35 The Difference Between Knowledge, Understanding, and Wisdom14:51 Knowledge vs. Understanding16:03 The Role of Wisdom17:14 Practical Applications of Wisdom18:18 The Importance of Sitting with a Process19:38 The Dark Moon Analogy21:33 The Practice of Mindfulness24:35 Final Thoughts and Reflections Get full access to Creation's Paths at www.creationspaths.com/subscribe
