Our own mind, and self-discovered truth certainly sheds light on that mysteriousness.

See below. I more agree with that, all tho I feel you may be right about the physical brain mass, its the actual psychology and real life experiences of the single person that generates wisdom, and thats mysterious. Experiences cannot be mapped out or seen on a MRI.

On the topic of Wisdom
if it is interchangeable with knowldge,
we have innate need to be superior
we beleive that with more knowledge with more wisdom we can be superior
the same with people obsession with body buildion, another form of expressing superiority

Imran, is it possible to be wise, or is it wise,to seek superiority? I would say cunning over wisdom.

There are certainly desires for truth and justice and should be administered through wisdom.

Possibly, thats certainly one theory.

What do you mean by our "great psychology?

Yes, loss and confusion are opposite of wisdom.

Think of natural human activity - we always seek closure. When someone dies, we need a funeral. When we love someone, we need a ceremony for marriage. (Perhaps not marriage, but some sort of symbolism or act to establish a complex of understanding). There are many examples.. just look around you! The truth of the matter is this text in itself is a random bunch of pixels and what-not, but you naturally piece them together syntactically to make sense of what you are looking at! Stare at a wall that was painted with bloches - you will eventually begin to see a pattern. Stare at something like a picket fence, brick wall, etc. then think of a number or letter - you will see it appear in the object! (That is given that it is possible to forumulate the letter/number in the pattern you are looking at.. I usually cannot see a 4 in a cloud no matter how hard I try.) It's amazing!
I hope I have been enlightening.

It's interesting you mention that cause I used to look at things all the time and see a 3rd dimension, like seeing a 3D pitcher, I noticed that staring at our car ceiling on the way to grade school, around hte 2nd grade. Yes it is amazing.
I certainly agree with you.
