1) = "Seek first the kingdom of God and all things will open to you" = Wis-dom is a place, so in finding it, then all is easy
2) = Ego is also the need to surrender to something that always was and is, so in saying you need to surrender, why make war in the first place?

The change begins inside each one of us, the further we look in books and outwardly for wisdom the less we find and the more knowledge to clutter the brain.....

"Knowledge is found at the end of you nose,
Wisdom is found at the bottom of your toes."

God resides in Wisdom's core
