Manly P. Hall Much has been said of the loneliness of wisdom...how the Truth seeker becomes a pilgrim wandering from star to star. To the ignorant, the wise man is lonely because he abides in distant heights of mind. But the wise man himself does not feel lonely. Wisdom brings him nearer to life; closer to the heart of the world than the foolish man can ever be. The wise man gazing off into space sees not an emptiness, but a space full of life, truth, and law. A metaphysical student who tries to be more than he is, can be very lonely. Only a part of him has gone forward... He has renounced old attachments, but he has not grown up to new ideals. He has renounced material things, but he has not outgrown them. He clings to a little of ignorance and strives for a little of Truth. Such a man is lonely and miserable. Space around him is still a void, for he has not realized the immanence of Truth.
