The Evolution of the Knowledge Spirit - The DNA of Wisdom - Chapter #2: Integration & Synthesis

"Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much; Wisdom is humble that he knows no more." by William Cowper 1731-1800

I shared the DNA of Wisdom with Jade, Barbara and Terri. It's really fantastic to get such wonderful challenges and suggestions. Amongst friends true learning occurs.

Right off, Jade surmised a component was missing: Integration. Later, Barbara noticed that somewhere all of the pieces had to come together: she named this component Synthesis. After three hours of conversation we concluded with this addition to the theory - there are two nexus points (points where the helix crosses itself), each creating the transition to get from one stage to the next, Integration and Synthesis.

Integration. The first nexus is the conversion of Education into Knowledge. Additionally, Learning is applied to Experience. In the beginning, our knowledge is a collection of knowledge from others. One must integrate what one learns academically to create the fabric of our knowledge base. This is more of a collection of facts (fact particles) that can be proved - not disproved or disputed. Learning then, is more of an empirical experience.

We take that education, combine it with learning and apply it to experience, moving from stage one (Education/Learning) to stage two (Knowledge/Experience) - this is life's experimental stage. This is where we skin our knees once in a while, testing our collection of knowledge with others, perhaps through experiences, the written word, or when speaking and interacting with others.

Synthesis. The second nexus is the conversion of Knowledge into Outcomes and Experience into Wisdom. The transition is the Synthesis. We develop our Wisdom after we have synthesized Knowledge plus experience into successful and failed outcomes which intern develop our body of Wisdom.

Are the nexus points more like bridges that we cross or transitions that we experience? Hum, we'll have to think on that!
