More From James Hillman

The ultimate difference between god's wisdom and man's wisdom is how they relate to the glory of god's grace in christ crucified. god's wisdom makes the glory of god's grace our supreme treasure. but man's wisdom delights in seeing himself as resourceful, self-sufficient, self determining, and not utterly dependent on god's free grace.

To possess both wisdom and compassion is the heart of our human revolution. if you have wisdom alone and lack compassion, it will be a cold, perverse wisdom. if you have compassion alone and lack wisdom, you cannot give happiness to others. you are even likely to lead them in the wrong direction, and you won't be able to achieve your own happiness.

Reading Thinking Our World
We all have within us a deep wisdom, but sometimes we don't know we have it. we live in a culture that doesn't acknowledge or validate human intuition and doesn't encourage us to rely on our intuitive wisdom. much of the western world emphasizes rationality and reason, but overlooks or ignores the enormous value of intuition and instinctive wisdom.
