“Wisdom in Kemet is linked to reason, knowledge, action, prudence, and morality. The sage is eternally dissatisfied, for he must constantly strive to better himself in wisdom, in his meditation, his actions, and his conduct. Further, the sage had to show a strong inclination for erudition, to have faith in the organizing virtues of the intellect to pursue essential qualities.”
