These degrees can be roughly divided into five rings, although what constitutes information on one level for one person my operate on another level for someone else.”Information Anxiety 2, ISBN 0-7897-2410-3, page 160

An Example of Wisdom…You may remember a time in your own life when you stubbornly stuck to your position on a problem, but then been faced with options and perspectives you had not seen before. Suddenly, you see another—and better–solution. In this realization you moved from an attached position to a flexible place of wisdom.The Four-Fold Way ISBN 0-06-250059-7, page 122
