What is A philosopher
A philosopher is a person who seeks answers to the questions of life. This person uses their intellect, their personal experience, and their spiritual/emotional body to step into the "space between" the poles of dualist concepts and transcend the conflict that they create in her soul.
By sharing their wisdom, philosophers inspire others to grow.
