When I first read the Law of One, I was confused as to what the difference was between wisdom and intellect. Ra seemed to make a difference between wisdom and compassion (compassion = wisdom integrated with love, Ra said), but that did not seem to make sense to me. As far as I had ever known, wisdom was defined as intellect with compassion, but this definition did not seem to fit with how Ra described it. So, I settled that wisdom must be some form of intellect or understanding of things around you. But, recently I have begun to doubt this definition. This topic definitely rings true with my more recent thoughts on the subject.
I have come to the conclusion (a very flexible conclusion!) that intellect is a very malleable force an individual can use as they see fit. If they desire to hide their true nature as love, then intellect will be of great use as an intellectual mind can find endless clever ways to use logic to achieve this delusion (I certainly did for about 20 years!). But at the same time, if someone wishes to further their spiritual development, intellect can play a fantastic role in analyzing catalyst and disciplining the personality. It all comes down to how you apply this gift of intellect.
Questioner, thank you for sharing your story, and I look forward to reading more about your life. It seems you have had much unfair pain in your life, but hopefully your story can inspire others who have had similar pain.
