Satori is a Zen Process for Enlightenment

Think of a state of being with no mind. It is a thought process without ego and thought between the body and the mind. Think of it as a process of pure thought without any personal opinions, beliefs, and understandings. Satori is a type of thinking, just a blank open mind. It is not a goal you wish to strive for, it is a point of mental relaxation in which you take everything in without prejudice.

When we seek guidance, it is usually to fix a problem or change our path of destiny. The reason you have you two ears and one month is so you listen twice as much as you speak. Acquiring spiritual intelligence requires an open mind like a sponge. It is not often a three minute Internet search, it requires an investment of time and a study of different points of view. The type of knowledge you seek is based on the problem you have. This is a direct impact on where you seek, and what you do with the knowledge you will acquire.

Philosophical Education

Philosophical education refers to knowledge or wisdom relating to subjects that have no proof of factuality. Millions of people refer to the bible as knowledge and wisdom, but it is not a factual reference like an encyclopedia. What if it was? Wouldn't our troubles be so much easier to solve? Of course, and that is exactly why it is not. Here are some examples of philosophical questions:

Philosophical education is also known as wisdom and advice. The universe has to allow you, in communication with your soul, to define these parameters and live your life accordingly.
