Wisdom is/like/ a diamond with many facets. On account of the limitations of human vision/ understanding, you cannot see all sides at once/can you/one see all sides at once?


At the highest point of reasoning, significant unites of information merge with universal concepts pulled together by a unique form of intellectual power…When the cosmic mind grinds its elements of experience into a totality of knowledge it acquires a discipline which by its “horrific” power erases the boundaries between the past and the present, the living and the dead, the physical and the non physical. The individual initiate acquires, like a chameleon’s all round vision, the power to conceptualise the totality of life at once,

The branches to the tree9the Ash of Yggdrasil) stretched over the universe, and its roots ran far and wide into the regions of the living and the dead, into the realms of gods, giants, dwarves, and elves, and of men.
…a deep well, the Well of Mimer, [is situated along the line of one of the gnarled roots of the Ash]in whose depths lay a wisdom so great that the gods had felt the loss of an eye or ear as nothing to obtain even a small measure of it.

Ultimate wisdom is represented by the sixteen branched palm tree at the foot of which sits the little man whom even the Almighty consulted at the time of creation.
