Psychologists aren't philosophers but philosophers ought to be psychologists even though philosophers don't know the location of subconscious mind. Wisdom is from subconscious whereas intellectual is from conscious mind. Thus, intellectual doesn't know subconscious mind and wisdom doesn't know conscious mind. Meditation is just an intellectually physiological exercise from a conscious mind should connect wisely psychological exercise from subconscious mind. Go on WISDOM

I was looking for the companion journal. It would have been more powerful
if both were available in Google Playbooks
