Does anyone have a thought about the reference to "Guardians of Wisdom on Paradise" in this lesson? For now, I have tagged it to Paper 27, Section 5 on the Custodians of Knowledge. Regardless, I appreciate the emphasis in this lesson as well as the recent N. Idaho lesson upon how "revelation" depends upon human discovery, e.g. a willingness to walk in the wilderness where there is no path.

The relationship between wisdom and knowledge is like that of husband and wife. A husband is not a husband without a wife nor is knowledge living outside of wisdom.

Thank you Marty! That's one way of putting it. However, I am more interested at the moment in whether anyone has an idea of what "Guardians of Wisdom on Paradise" refers to. For the moment, I have tagged it to Custodians of Knowledge given the lesson itself refers to scientific knowledge. Otherwise, your thought is much as mine that might lead me to tag it to Masters of Philosophy, but I did not as the content of the lesson is focused more on "knowledge" than "wisdom". Regardless, the idea of "guarding" e.g. defending wisdom seems misplaced given what truly is needs no defenses and offers none as only illusions need them because of their intrinsic weakness. (1) Just another way of saying, the argumentative defense of any proposition is inversely proportional to the truth therein. (2)
