Normally people think of prison as an environment that incubates negativity and hopelessness. In essence this is true, unless one understands that no matter where you are, you are in control of what your reality will be. Quincy Gordon found the inspiration to reach a plane of consciousness that revealed infinite intelligence while incarcerated in the Arizona State Penitentiary System. This is his story. One day he received a divine intervention that compelled him to pick up a pen and just write. Words flowed through him like a deluge and he floated up from the penitentiary, finding himself on a beautiful mountaintop with the wind singing the songs of Mother Nature. A ray of light struck him and he heard a voice say, "The words I deliver through you are divine. They will serve to give power back to the people. You are all limitless beings, and it is time that you reconnect with the wisdom and knowledge that grants you the ability to experience omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence."

Prefatory Matters

As strange as it may seem, I found the inspiration to reach such a plane of consciousness that revealed Infinite Intelligence unto me while being incarcerated in the Arizona State Penitentiary System. Normally when people think of prison, they perceive an environment that incubates negativity and hopelessness. In essence, this is true, unless one understands the truth that, no matter where you are, you are in control of what your reality will be. Life flows from the knowledge and wisdom of Divine. I received a direct link to Infinite Intelligence that made it possible for me to transcend my physical environment in order to create a project with a magnitude of great inspiration. In essence, this is my story.

The beginning point of The Pursuit of Wisdom was a pivotal time in my life. It was January 15, 2011, when I was sitting on my bunk and I received a divine intervention that compelled me to pick up a pen and pad and just write. I had no idea what I would be writing until I struck my pen to pad and words of Divine just flowed through me like a deluge of water that had just broken free from a dam. This was definitely an out-of-body experience. Every day when I wrote, I left the penitentiary. I found myself daily on a mountaintop with natural streams of water falling, lightly resounding with the combination of sounds of the wind blowing to sing the song of Mother Nature. There was a ray of light that shone down on me from the sun. And as I came into contact with the light, I heard a voice that was grand.

It said, The words that I will deliver through you are words of Divine. They will serve to give the power back to the people. You are all limitless beings, and it is time that you reconnect with the wisdom and knowledge that grants you the ability to experience omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence.

So I am honored to be of service, as I was ordained by Infinite Intelligence to present these meditations of divine power unto the entire world.

Introduction

The Pursuit of Wisdom is a collection of 366 philosophies that will set your mind in motion as you reflect on each one daily. It is an expression that will broaden your horizon as to morals and the way to live. Guided by these words of wisdom, you will never be lost of views when faced with situations of the day because they will give you moral indicators as they cover the basic aspects of life. The most monumental impact that you will find in The Pursuit of Wisdom is the calming of your mind. This is done by strengthening your ability to think as you gain control of your reality.

There is an innate well of knowledge and wisdom deep down inside of you. This vital intelligence is the tool that you are entitled to use in order to enhance the harmony of your life. This book was written just for you so that you can realign yourself with dominant thoughts about the highways and byways of life. Reflecting on the text of this book, you will be able to feel your truth and identify your true self as you meditate on your beliefs about the origin of the world, power of mind and soul, political power, ethical conduct, and your relationship with the creator of the world. I do not believe in coincidences, so you are definitely meant to read this book to receive the escalated growth that is conducive to self-improvement and sharpening of your mind. You will reach mountaintops in your walk of life, as this text will serve as your spiritual nourishment to complete your never-ending journey. Knowledge is valuable. Yet the unknown in its mysterious content is just as valuable, if not more so. The grace that you will find as your mind is set into the mode of perusal is an eloquent feeling that puts you on a level of spiritual intoxication. It is food for your soul.

All of the topics covered throughout the 366 passages of The Pursuit of Wisdom can be characterized as the basis that link all human beings and living entities and all manifestations and phenomena together on one basic level. This is what intrigues you to reflect on the meditations in this book. By doing so, you will hone your opinions and beliefs in order to know yourself better. And by knowing yourself, you will be able to relate with others in a more ethical manner.

The Pursuit of Wisdom is larger than me alone. And when I say that this book is for you, I really do mean that it was written especially to give you an enhancement to your way of life. It is my love to you. It is intended to give you an experience that will expand your cognizance process, giving you insight capabilities to reframe undesirable situations in order for you to live a harmonious life. The underlying tone of The Pursuit of Wisdom is in harmony with the law of attraction. This deals with power of the mind, which is a beautiful phenomenon that I’ve seen evidence of in my own life. I am living proof that what you think about, you will become.

This book will help you remain positive throughout any given circumstance. This is especially important to do so that you can have whatever your heart desires. You will keep an open flow to well-being, which naturally flows into you when you maintain an upbeat spirit. It is always best to look at the glass as half full, looking at the higher side of life, which will give you an optimistic reality. Whatever you want in life, you can create it into a reality for yourself. Whether it is a new car, new home, a great relationship, or even an incredible experience you wish to have, you can summon these things into existence by the power of the mind through focus. As I reflect on the chronicles of my life, I truly understand how the revelations of my current state of being and other end results in stages of my life have been created by default from the thoughts that I entertained. I know that you could testify to that same evidence too, if you were to do an honest analysis of your past. However, it is important for you to understand that you can deliberately create whatever you choose. Ever since I underwent a divine intervention with Infinite Intelligence, I have been consciously noticing the signs of my thoughts coming into fruition. From small examples (such as contact from a family member I had not heard from in a while) to creating a steady flow of finances, to business projects being done by me not doing anything. When I say this, it goes for you too. When you become aligned with the Source (one mind and soul), everything you do will be an inspired action. The universe will unfold ways and opportunities for you to complete your objectives to achieve the ultimate goal of your project. All you have to do is focus on the end result of what you desire and notice the omens and take inspired action on any avenues presented. There are many great books on the law of attraction. If you have not done so already, I highly recommend that you open the doors of your life to this information. Two books that especially resonate with me are Ask and It Is Given by Jerry and Esther Hicks and The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. These studies, along with Stephen Mitchell’s revised edition of Tao Te Ching, are just a few of the many sources that I found to be inspiring.

What you will find in The Pursuit of Wisdom is that your mind has precedence over your body. So if you harness the wisdom and knowledge to perceive a reality that is in alignment with your ultimate desires, you can have whatever you like. The way you do this is by calming the mind, by reflecting on serious topics like the ones found in the book, and then only thinking of the things that you do want. Throughout the text, I have used the terms leader, chieftain, and director as references to the perfect example of the given situation. You are the aforementioned entitled whom I write about in these sections of this book. These philosophies speak of the conduct of a great leader and, in some cases, just a model citizen who will serve as a role model for the world—because this person is extremely in tune with the Source, at one with the world, seeing all people the same (regardless of race, nationality, religion, and political views), and having a perception of life that is remarkable. You are that leader whose main focus is to love all aspects of life, to use all situations and all things, and to experience life and enjoy it right now. It is a blessing to soak in the present moment. Equally, it is important to imagine—in order to create what your heart desires in that nonphysical realm of creation and feel good about experiencing it now, mentally. Another reference technique that was used in the interchanging use of the pronouns is he and she. The intentions in such passages were to even out the use as much as possible. However, feel free to substitute he for she as you deem necessary. This book was written for you, for the situations and plots in your life, for the calming and reflecting of you mind.

Some of the philosophies in this book are in rhyme format. Others are free poetry. I have committed myself to remaining devoted to conveying an in-depth message from the Source in every passage, though, so that it will feed your thirst for an emotionally spiritual connection. The Pursuit of Wisdom is a mind calmer that will start your cognizance process as you focus on the eternal wisdom of the universe. Its compilation of 366 passages is a unique meditative tool that gives you a different philosophy for each day of the year, which you can use to profoundly reflect daily. As you arise from a good night’s rest, this book will help you to start your day in a heavenly state of mind. In addition, it will help you to lay down at night to go to sleep in peace. The Pursuit of Wisdom can stand alone, or it can serve as an appendage to any other spiritual reading of your indulgence—no matter what religion or study it may be, if any at all. Become a limitless, all-powerful being when you digest into your subconscious these inspiring philosophies of divinity that were streamlined directly from Infinite Intelligence.

Genesis and the Creator

January 1

Genesis and the Creator

Being and nonbeing are sacredly married.

Both are eternal and faithfully carried.

Spirit gives to flesh, and flesh gives to spirit.

Spirit gives the word, and flesh gives to hear it.

They give to each other for nothing in return.

They demonstrate love, not looking to earn.

The order is set up by their marriage indeed.

As long as you give, you shall triple receive.

This is the life of the egg and the seed.

Their union is holy and blessed to breed.

Their order was set up outside of the time.

Eternal is the harmony of thought and mind.

Genesis and the Creator

There is holy matrimony between spirit and flesh.

The union, when they copulate, makes all things manifest.

The spirit needs the flesh, and the flesh needs the spirit.

The spirit needs to speak, and the flesh needs to hear it.

As spirit directs knowledge, flesh directs wisdom.

The word will
