People recognize that there is a difference between intelligence and wisdom. Can Creator share the divine perspective on what the difference truly is?

Intelligence is, in effect, referring to the functionality of thought, and in essence, the capability to marshal and process information in a way that has some accuracy in execution, as in putting one’s thoughts together into a useful construct to convey information or elicit a response from someone, because it can be recognized as to its meaning, purpose, and intentions. Intelligence is the ability to marshal facts and knowledge to focus on an intention and create a desired end result, either an idea that can be acted on or implemented in some way to create something new or make something happen or to influence others to perhaps join in a common purpose and gain the power of having more than one person involved. When whole groups of people come together in unity for a common goal, this is an obvious enhancement of the ability of the individual, but it must start somewhere. So intelligence is an important tool for leadership to enable organizing things, to gain that amplification through a collective effort. All of the power in the reach of the intellect and the creative application for setting intentions, designing in efficiency, and various kinds of leverage, to enhance the outcome and the potential for influencing something that is perceived as being of value, are the raw materials of a creative effort. But none of this speaks to whether that effort is of a positive or negative nature, whether it is highest and best for all, or it perhaps serves a single individual at the expense of everyone else or some combination in between where a group of individuals may work together and benefit while exploiting others and taking advantage of them in some way to gain personally at their expense and result in a diminishment of their lives. The missing factor here in the description of reality we are building is the wisdom to know the difference between good and evil—what serves the higher good of all in a kind of balance with self-interest. There must always be a recognition of the importance to serve the self. That is your main obligation and your first obligation, to serve yourself and serve your soul’s journey. No one else can truly do this for you. The art of living is to do it in a way that will raise up others as well as the self and diminish no one if at all possible. This description then requires any individual or group effort factor in a concern for the consequences of one’s thoughts and actions with due consideration for the value and worth of other soul-based beings, and a heartfelt desire to gain their trust and friendship, out of respect that is mutual and therefore serves all in recognizing the importance of working in harmony with a unity of agreement in goals and desired outcomes. That is an example of divine wisdom in action and living through divine principles, which we have shared with you to make available to others as the Ten Divine Principles for Living. That wisdom for humans is hard-won. There are many logical inconsistencies in human thought and teaching. Divine wisdom is scattered and often corrupted; it is often misinterpreted and misapplied as well, so there is much to do to bring about an awakening and a greater awareness of what is truly divine and what is not, but represents the greatest source of wisdom.
