For a short intro to Israel Anderson, watch this one, and see if you care to watch more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-gFK2i1zfs

I recently had an image form in my mind... not a vision or a revelation, just an image. Like we are all surrounded by a thick, nearly impenetrable fog. A fog with bright and shiny crystals, dull and minuscule particles, and everything in between. We all go out and take hold of the ones that grab our attention, and put them safely into lidded jars. Kind of like collecting fireflies. At the end, we each hold up our jars and say, "Look! I've found the truth!" Some end up with a jar of shiny but worthless particles, some with shiny and valuable particles, and some a combination of obscure but telling (or deceiving) particles. But, we all tend to collect ones similar to those we have delighted in in the past, and pretend the others either don't exist or are worthless. We all have just the tiniest fraction of the truth, and are all perfectly, absolutely capable of creating the narrative we wish to create by the particles we choose to collect. Some sit still and watch, and occasionally get just the most fleeting and partial revelation of the truth as the fog briefly parts. And then go back to collecting our favorite particles.

This collection of particles that makes us believe we are "right" applies to the news, science, history, evolution, the Bible, health, or any other aspect of life and knowledge. But we are all busy collecting self-selected particles. Be open. Keep learning. We can get closer to the truth. Wisdom is in the process, and in realizing how little of the truth we actually possess.

Wisdom entails the willingness to change the type of particles we collect based on the fleeting glimpse of reality we have seen through the fog. Actually, to collect as many of them as we can.
