for the LDS Mormon doctrine Word of Wisdom Unreferenced date November 2008 Word of wisdom is regarded among Charismatic movement Charismatic s and Pentecostal s to be the supernatural revelation of wisdom through the power of the Holy Spirit . This gift is noted in 1 Corinthians 12 8. While the word of wisdom may generally be a spontaneous manifestation of a God given insight or perspective to the mind or spirit of the believer, references to God s secret wisdom in 1 Corinthians 2 6 10 and elsewhere in the letter may enhance the understanding of this gift. The secret wisdom pertains to the Gospel that Paul of Tarsus Paul preached. This wisdom relates to that which God had previously hidden and destined for the glory of believers. It is a wisdom that speaks of those things that God has prepared for those who love Him. These emphases from the broader context of the Corinthian letter could imply that the gift known as the word of wisdom involves insight into God s plans and preparations for the Christian believer. These things are not made known through human wisdom they are revealed or manifested by the Holy Spirit. As is the case with all of the Spiritual gift manifestation gifts , in light of 1 Corinthians 13, the expectation in the community of faith is that the word of wisdom be exercised out of a heart of love.

Wisdom Tradition is a term that is sometimes given to the inner core or mysticism mystic aspects of a Religion religious or Spirituality spiritual tradition , without the trappings, doctrinal literalism, sectarianism , and power structures that are associated with institutionalised religion. The Wisdom Tradition provides a conceptual framework for the development of the inner self, living a spiritual life, and the realisation of Enlightenment or of Union with God. Ken Wilber frequently uses the term in the plural in his own books, shadowing the theologian Huston Smith who popularized the usage. In this context it can be considered synonymous with Esotericism , but does not have the faintly Western Middle Eastern Theosophical nuances that are sometimes associated with the latter term. In a different context, the term is also used to refer to certain elements in Ecclesiastes or in Christianity in general.
