Wisdom, to me, is an inherent property of Nature, like Gravity, which manifests
itself when I (occasionally) disappear in meditation.

Wisdom is not knowledge.
Wisdom is not limited to time or space. 
Wisdom does not increase or decrease.
Wisdom was not created and will not end.
Wisdom does not need my praise.
Wisdom is always available to everyone.
Wisdom is Abba.

Cheers
