Well my definition of the rays comes from the Ra material lol so it seems yours does not, at least to much lesser degree which is quite a dissonant approach as you have made this book such an integral part of your worldview.
I'm not accusing you of being insular it's just a suggestion to clarify.
Well, I would not consider what I hold to be "wisdom" in the regular sense, wisdom and love in the Ra Material are universal principles not just personal attributes (universal principles have localized variables, see science for details) the two often get conflated though.
My "wisdom" though has helped myself and many people though, I am honestly considered "wise" by my peers and they seek my advice. I am achieving things in the world (work and [informal and formal] study, all of which I enjoy) whilst writing a book, not particularly because I want "my message/story" out there but because people are requesting it of me, the compulsion to produce is much stronger when I know it will actually please or help someone else rather than for my own ends. I do not have the gall to call my philosophy my own though, having read the works of great minds I have been afforded a glimpse into the beauty of the world, which I now appreciate for what it is and not what I would like it to be.
To be honest it seems much better than those days I thought I knew everything so I rented a place out and didn't work and relied on government benefits so I could pursue my obviously transcendental insights. Of course I thought the decision was justified since "all things are one" lol and looked scornfully at the "wageslaves" who were paying for my life, my university, the roads I walked, the library I would visit the hospital and so on...basically some serious appreciation of those things happened eventually. Of course during that insular period I had no one to discuss things with so I naturally believed all my own bullshit.
I have never understood how people could measure value of life by achieved happiness... always seemed just a tad selfish.
