You become wise when your being surpasses the sum of all your knowledge.

Wisdom is wise dominion.
You might try "A Philosophy of Universality," O. M. Aivanhov, and "Expecting Adam," Martha Beck, Ph.D., for some "down-to-earth" practical wisdom. "The Soulless One," Mark Prophet, "Extraordinary Knowing," Dr. Elizabeth Mayer, "The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?", Free and Wilcock, http://www.divinecosmos.com "Life before Life," Jim Tucker, M.D., "The Great Divorce," C. S. Lewis, and "The Master of Lucid Dreams," Olga Kharitidi, M.D., also good in this wise.
best regards,
j.

Wisdom is a woman that you should follow and she will lead you directly to God. There you will learn why you are here, who you are, where you are going and how to live the life you have. Wisdom my dear friend is a wonderful creature that loves. In that love you are brought to the greatest master of wisdom: God.
That beats the heck out of a professor that doesn't seem to know what he's teaching.
All the best to you darlin and God's blessing to you in your search.

"In Metaphysics A.1, Aristotle says that “all men suppose what is called wisdom (sophia) to deal with the first causes (aitia) and the principles (archai) of things” (981b28), and it is these causes and principles that he proposes to study in this work. It is his customary practice to begin an inquiry by reviewing the opinions previously held by others, and that is what he does here, as Book A continues with a history of the thought of his predecessors about causes and principles."

For myself, I try to break it up into palatable pieces by saying there are differences between knowledge, intelligence, and wisdom. If you know a lot of things, you're knowledgeable. If you understand what you know, and can put it to work, you're intelligent. If you use intelligence fearlessly, honestly and -selflessly-, you're wise.
