¶p: All wisdom comes from the Heavenly Father, and is with him forever.
4
¶c: Who can number the sands of the sea, and the drops of rain, and the days of eternity? Who can find out the height of heaven, and the breadth of the earth? Who can tell the beginning of wisdom?
5
¶p: Wisdom was before all things, for she dwells in the Gods.
6
¶c: He who is without wisdom is like one who says to the wood, "Awake," and to the dumb stone, "Arise and teach." So are his words empty, and his deeds harmful, as a child who brandishes an adult's sword, knowing not its cutting edge.
7
¶p: But the Crown of Wisdom makes peace and perfect health to flourish, both of which are the gifts of the Gods.
8
¶a: I will cling to the Heavenly Order, so that I can receive the Angel of Wisdom.

13
Through the Holy Law, does the Angel of Wisdom guide the Children of Light.
14
¶c: Who can number the sands of the sea, and the drops of rain, and the days of eternity? Who can find out the height of heaven, and the breadth of the earth, and the deep, and wisdom?

One can heal with goodness; one can heal with justice; one can heal with herbs; one can heal with the Words of Power through the Gift of Wisdom.

Among all the remedies, the application of wisdom, as it dwells in the Light, is that which heals best.

To follow the Holy Law; is the Crown of Wisdom, making peace and perfect health to flourish, for these are the gifts of the Angels.
20
¶a: We would draw near to you, O Heavenly Father, with the help of your Angel of Wisdom, who guides us in the Heavenly Order, where we learn to act and to speak according to wisdom, that our whole lives may be a testimony of your Truth.
21
Come to us, Heavenly Father; let us receive your mind into ourselves.
22
As you are the Giver of every good and perfect gift, through your Heavenly Order, bestow on us the long-lasting Gift of Wisdom, that we may be the Children of Light, and spend our lives in your holy service, dwelling in the Garden of the Lord.
23
Yes, even your mind is Light, and when the Light is kindled in us, we have the mind of the Anointed.

31
¶p: It is that which the Child of Light thinks, for he thinks by the Light, and holds those thoughts, which come of the Light, to be of greater value than all other things.
32
So will the Child of Light grow, through meditation and communion with the Light within, that he may develop wisdom, and thus will he continue, until all the mysteries of Godliness, which lead even to the Tree of Life, will be revealed to him.
33
¶a: Then will he say these victorious words: "0 Heavenly Father, give me my task for the building of your divine realm on earth, through good thoughts, good"words, good deeds, which will be, to the Child of Light, his most precious gift.
34
O Holy Father, let me dwell in the Heavenly Order forever.
35
Let me put on the mind of the Anointed.
36
I will worship the Light, through the Heavenly Father, forever, for the Light is of the Father, by whose power, the divine realm will roll forth, and the Holy Order ascend up on High forever and ever.

41
¶a: Lift us up, O Gods, to behold the wisdom of the heavenly hosts, so that we can dwell forever in the Eternal Garden of the Lord.
