“… they drank
of that spiritual Rock
that followed them …”
— I Corinthians 10:4
King James Version of the Bible
SPIRITUAL INSIGHT … p. 108
Midst the frenzy of materialism that defines much of our life we rely for the most part upon five familiar senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. Within these confines we live out our lives in a never-ending effusion of goods and services, all the while longing for more to life. And so there is, in two lesser known senses: intuition and understanding. When brought into play they are, within themselves, no less than our saving grace.
Intuition we know to be spiritual insight founded on Truth. Understanding, which follows upon and is indeed a concomitant of intuition, is acknowledgement of that Truth. These combined faculties are a phenomenon common to all. How to put it to use in our daily life becomes the question. The answer, ever the same, is to go within, to rediscover our true inner self; our God-given Goodness and Love. Thus, in selfless humility, may we let others be witness to our own vulnerability. Thus too, in the stillness of mind and body, do we intuitively come to know and to understand another’s true inner self, and with it, brotherly love.
