                                            %WISDOM 731219

     Ours is an age of many techniques and knowledge,  but
little  wisdom.   Wisdom can not be written in a  book  or
stored in a computer as is information.  Wisdom can not be
trained  into  a person as techniques are.  Wisdom  is  so
rarely observed in political action that some may not know
it can be incarnate.

     We  all need to keep clearly in mind that  wisdom  is
not  the  accumulation of  much  information,   knowledge,
and/or techniques.  Wisdom does not yield to ensymbolment.
Wisdom is an aspect of real persons who are an incarnation
of wisdom.   Such persons are of such a character as to be
in mutual understanding with others  regarding  their real
problems.   Wisdom  pertains  to the most helpful  use  of
information, knowledge, and techniques and resources.

     Science  education  has had as a dominant  focus  the
accumulation of information,  knowledge,  and  techniques.
The  "pure"   scientist  has commonly been  proud  of  his
disdain toward possible helpful uses of science ---except
he encourages political actions which support his research
because  it  maybe useful.   In the face of  such  disdain
toward   the  helpful  use  of  scientific   information,
knowledge,   and techniques scientists can not be free  to
see others pointing to realities ---  such as wisdom which
will  not  yield to ensymbolment.   Thus  the  educational
process  within  departments of science rarely  facilitate
the incarnation of wisdom.  Technicians without wisdom are
technocrats,    and   the  peoples   perish   within   the
technocratic society which they manufacture.

     Wisdom   is  not  the  product  of   an   educational
curriculum which   has   been  carefully  programmed    by
education  technocrats.    Wisdom  is an  aspect  of  real
persons  who  are  willing  to  participate  in  authentic
meetings  and  to  be parties to suffering  and  sacrifice
while  being  helpful to others.    Students  will  become
incarnations   of  wisdom  as  they  are  participants  in
authentic  meetings  with others who are  incarnations  of
wisdom in service with sacrifice.

     In   proportion  as  mankind  acquires   information,
knowledge, and techniques it becomes essentially uncertain
as to whether mankind has survival value.  The uncertainty
can  be transcended only through the political actions  of
attractive scientists who are incarnations of wisdom.
