itself.
But some one says, "May it not be dangerous for us to act always upon our
intuitions? Suppose we should have an intuition to do harm to some one?"
We need not be afraid of this, however, for the voice of the soul, this
voice of God speaking through the soul, will never direct one to do harm
to another, nor to do anything that is not in accordance with the highest
standards of right, and truth, and justice. And if you at any time have
a prompting of this kind, know that it is not the voice of intuition; it
is some characteristic of your lower self that is prompting you.
Reason is not to be set aside, but it is to be continually illumined by
this higher spiritual perception, and in the degree that it is thus
illumined will it become an agent of light and power. When one becomes
thoroughly individualized he enters into the realm of all knowledge and
wisdom; and to be individualized is to recognize no power outside of the
Infinite Power that is back of all. When one recognizes this great fact
and opens himself to this Spirit of Infinite Wisdom, he then enters upon
the road to the true education, and mysteries that before were closed now
reveal themselves to him. This must indeed be the foundation of all true
education, this evolving from within, this evolving of what has been
involved by the Infinite Power.
All things that it is valuable for us to know will come to us if we will
but open ourselves to the voice of this Infinite Spirit. It is thus that
we become seers and have the power of seeing into the very heart of
things. There are no new stars, there are no new laws or forces, but we
can so open ourselves to this Spirit of Infinite Wisdom that we can
discover and recognize those that have not been known before; and in this
way they become new to us. When in this way we come into a knowledge of
truth we no longer need facts that are continually changing. We can then
enter into the quiet of our own interior selves. We can open the window
and look out, and thus gather the facts as we choose. This is true
wisdom. "Wisdom is the knowledge of God." Wisdom comes by intuition.
It far transcends knowledge. Great knowledge, knowledge of many things,
may be had by virtue simply of a very retentive memory. It comes by
tuition. But wisdom far transcends knowledge, in that knowledge is a
mere incident of this deeper wisdom.
He who would enter into the realm of wisdom must first divest himself of
all in
