The Spiritual Power of Understanding

Understanding is God’s Supreme knowing.

That in man which comprehends is understanding.

It knows and comprehends in wisdom.

Its comparisons are not made in the realm of form, but in the realm of ideas.

It knows how to accomplish things.

Spiritual discernment reveals that knowledge and intelligence are auxiliary to understanding.

There are two ways of getting to understanding:

One is by following the guidance of Spirit that dwells within,

and the other is to go blindly ahead and learn by hard experience.

Intellectual understanding of Truth is a tremendous step in the advancement of conscious awareness; however, its possession alone can bring a temptation to use truth for selfish or manipulative means.

Therefore, it is with the higher understanding of a divine wisdom and divine power, in which spiritual understanding is thereby revealed. Spiritual understanding is the quickening or activating of the Spirit within.

Spiritual understanding is not only intelligence but also a reliance on divinity, as the ability of mindful intention and guidance to apprehend & realize, not only these laws of thought, but also the Universal Laws of Nature,  and how these ideas work in relation to one another and the impacts upon outcomes.
