From Experience:
1. Wisdom comes after breaking through a pain barrier; it is similar to long distance running, in that first there is a pain barrier, and then there is a second wind.
2. Between belief and disbelief is an invitation to the mysteries; disbelief is also a belief, so the challenge really is to become unattached to my belief system.
From Wasserman's 'Templars and Assassins':

They say we have been here for 40 000 years, but it is much longer -
We have been here since time began We have come directly out of the Dreamtime of our creative ancestors -
We have kept the earth as it was on the first day. Our culture is focused on recording the origins of life.
We refer to forces and powers that created the world as creative ancestors.
Our beautiful world has been created only in accordance with the power, wisdom and intentions of our ancestral beings.
