Today’s ‘Pay Forward’ gift is: Wisdom—Spiritual Discernment—Judgment—Intuitive
Knowing. ‘Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers,’ said Tennyson. Spiritual
discernment always places wisdom above the other faculties of mind. Intuitive
knowing is our Father’s silent communication with us … when we intuitively know
there is no question regarding where it came from, and we need no additional
proof. Intellectual knowledge—head knowledge—comes first in the soul’s
development, and then an awakening to a deeper understanding of spiritual
principles follows, until we learn in Alcoholics Anonymous, after our spiritual
awakening, that our whole being ripens into wisdom by practising our awakening
in all our affairs. ‘… Lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart …’
AA has given me the willingness to have an open mind. ‘Be quick to see where
religious people are right. Make use of what they offer,’ Alcoholics Anonymous, page 87. I learned to put to use what I found,
and put the remainder on a shelf—one day I may use it. ‘We will intuitively know
how to handle situations which used to baffle us,’ page 84. Yet, I pray that I
be independent of other’s opinions. ‘Every man knows that, in his work, he does
best and accomplishes most when he has attained a proficiency that enables him
to work intuitively,’ Albert Einstein. Perhaps we live best and do things best
when we are not too conscious of how and why we do them, which feels like
wisdom. By grace, in the end, we know things without knowing how we know them!
Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
