The lawyer's basic tool is independent thinking, both analytical and analogical. By such thinking legal opinions are made and actions are taken. The lawyer's craft can also be applied to the universal problems and opportunities faced by everyone who confronts their psychological depths - those who try to make sense of life and understand their place in it, who seek to understand the totality of their self, who they are and can become. Laws in their most general signification, are the necessary relations derived from the nature of things. In contrast to the laws made by Man, the Laws of Wisdom are those laws by which Man is made, the laws with which Man can find fulfillment.
Wisdom is profound self realization, an individual's unique fulfillment of their special potentials.
It is the goal sought by the knowledgeable and presumed by the ignorant. The universal laws which govern the attainment of Wisdom can be found in many areas of natural law - science, philosophy, psychology, myths and religion. Legal research in these areas is much more difficult and time consuming than research of the laws of Man. Still, with help from older, more experienced searchers, sufficient data on these Wisdom Laws can be found to provide meaningful answers to life's basic questions. As a lawyer, the methods and disciplines of my profession have aided and affected my approach in many ways.
