Book Title Bringing Heaven Down to Earth

291. Wisdom & the Rebel

The rebel is far closer to wisdom than the complacent child—as an ox is more powerful than a lamb.

He needs only a wise person who will guide him to harness his energy.
Then he will bring much good to the world, as the ox that plows a field.

The Golden Calf
I'm going to try something I have never tried before. I am so inspired my Rabbi Tzvi Freeman that I want to at least try to understand: The Jews were into idolatry and molded a golden calf for all to see - that was considered rebellious because they danced around it and it was idolatry. Then Moses came and he taught them a lesson - well many lessons because they were acting spoiled and rebellious. This is a clear example of "Wisdom & the Rebel."

-Thank you for reading this.

rebels
I am a rebel still....but when I was young I never learned how to harness my energy...I was a wild child and ended up in prison, where I learned alot more things and decided instead of being a wise-guy...be a good woman and instead of being a get what I can kind of person though wisdom of the dark...learn the biblical principles of my faith which is on the inside of my heart and it is directly related to love...without love wisdom is nothing...but with love...wisdom is everything!!

A Rebelious Teacher
When I was a Jazz musician in New York one of the things I learned is to explore your own nature in life and that would mean alot of the time being rebelious and being misunderstood and even losing out-I learned this from a very famous teacher and I like saying she was rebelious!! And I have never regretted a day in my life that I met her. I even composed alot and learned alot alot about Judith.

The rebel doesn't need a wise person, if he's close to wisdom

291. Wisdom and the Rebel
If the Rebel is close to wisdom, then why does he need a wise person? If he is not wise enough himself, how will he know who is wise enough to show him how to harness his strength?

Perhaps he needs only to look within to see the wisdom already there. Perhaps all he needs is someone to show him his own wisdom ... someone to trust in him.
