…there is a spirit in man; and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding – Job 32:8
Spirit within us, our conscious intelligence, is not separated from Universal Conscious Intelligence, but is an individualized expression of It. The power of our intelligence has a far greater potential than that of our bodies and that of the world of form about us. As we become more conscious of our unity with Spirit, we grow in our ability to express who we really are.
Growth, as we observe in nature, is a steady unfolding of the hidden potential of the seed. The growth of a plant can be nourished and cultivated, but it cannot express its full potential all at once. The rosebud must be allowed to unfold into a full blown rose.
In like manner, our conscious intelligence, which is Spirit, unfolds within us as we grow in understanding. We can prepare for the unfolding, or spiritual growth, by recognising our oneness with God. We can choose to express more of our innate spiritual potential.
God does not force growth upon us, though it does often seem to be accelerated by adversity. At such times, God is not compelling us, but we are awakening to the Truth, the Truth that our choices are acted upon by the creative Law of Life, or God.
