Then the LORD answered Job from the whirlwind: … Who gives intuition to the heart and instinct to the mind?
— Job 38:1, 36
New Living Translation
“Reaching For The Light”
Spiritual Senses … p 58
Acknowledging our own spiritual nature — our inner self — as distinct from our mortal being, is made easier when we question all that we see and feel going on around us.
Our five senses are uniquely adapted to enable our physical survival. What we all too often fail to recognize (hence, our lingering disquiet) is that we are innately empowered with two other senses, albeit on a higher, spiritual plane, namely: intuition and understanding. Only when we avail ourself of the power of these otherwise dormant spiritual senses can we reveal our divine life-giving soul and, in the doing, come to know peace within.
That which is worldly is manifestly ephemeral and, despite its temporal pleasures, is assuredly not soul-satisfying. That of the soul means reacquainting ourself with the very essence of our Being: It is who we are.
