We do, of course, speak “wisdom” among those who are spiritually mature, but it is not what is called wisdom by this world, nor by the powers-that-be, who soon will be only the powers that have been. The wisdom we speak of is that mysterious secret wisdom of God which he planned before the creation for our glory today. None of the powers of this world have known this wisdom — if they had they would never have crucified the Lord of glory! But as it is written: ‘Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love him’. But God has, through the Spirit, let us share his secret. For nothing is hidden from the Spirit, not even the deep wisdom of God. For who could really understand a man’s inmost thoughts except the spirit of the man himself? How much less could anyone understand the thoughts of God except the very Spirit of God? And the marvellous thing is this, that we now receive not the spirit of the world but the Spirit of God himself, so that we can actually understand something of God’s generosity towards us.  — 1 Corinthians 2:8-12  J.B. Phillips New Testament (PHILLIPS) 

“Reflections From Infinite Mind”

Divine Thought: 

Ever Our Companion … p 74

The expression “writer’s block” refers to the inhibition of creative thought in those engaged in the writing of literary works — “inhibition” being the operative word. Were we to apply this concept in day-to-day life, not as it relates to our own thinking, but to the laws governing all of nature — to Divine Mind (God), from which all in all both emanates and returns, reason alone suggests we are either unable or unwilling to hear the ever-present voice of God within. The first are those who exhibit their own will, not that of God’s, denoting an unawareness of the power of Divine Mind. The second is alone the product of our consciousness, whereby we choose to deny God’s beneficent power. Either or both is detrimental to our well-being.

To avoid so-called “writer’s block”—that which is not real—there is but one path for all: In selflessness and humility we must give ourself over to God’s care, asking that His will be done. Faith manifests itself in God’s goodness and love, freeing us to become who and what we are meant to be. Divine thought becomes ever our companion.
