Gibran
Kahlil Gibran (a famous writer born in Lebanon, lived in USA):
"A teacher who travels in the shadow of a temple, doesn't give from her/his wisdom but from her/his conviction and love."
Wisdom is a fixed structure, stagnated and mechanical, lacking the reactivity of the learning phace and the true touchingness of heartfelt things like belief and love. Only the beginner can utilize all of one's capacity. Zen buddhists have a similar saying: they say that the zen mind, the master's mind is like the beginner's mind.
K. Gibran:
"There is a green meadow between a scholar and a poet; if the scholar crosses over it she/he becomes wise; if the poet crosses over it she/he becomes a prophet."
If the scolar learns about life, she/he becomes wise. If the poet, who already understands about life, can put her/his understanding to the language of sholars too, that is true holistic wisdom, the words of a prophet with the body and spirit right, a road for others to travel in their life with both their understanding and heart.
I guess that I am good at crossing the meadow from the side of poets to the side of scholars but I am not a poet, I am a scholar. But if I could teach my skill to the poets, that would be worth a lot. Me texts here at www.paradisewins.net seek to give a picture of the world via whcih that could be possible for many. I wish you good luck! Starting with a feeling and an atmosphere, form a holistic view of the situation. Transform that view according to my picture of the world here to a mechanical language which emphasises health and harmony instead of feelings and atmospheres. Then it should be possible to make all, even the militarily or economically thinking, understand you.
