Spirit shares wisdom with me. It’s not His wisdom,
He tells me. It belongs to everyone who cares to
claim it. He shares what has been shared with Him.

Problems arise, He tells me, when we each absorb
the wisdom we receive, from whomever, or whatever
source, according to our unique understanding,
that has necessarily developed through personal
experience.

How can what is necessary be a problem?

Trying to rationalize what message it was meant
to teach them.

requires emotional maturity.

Beauty expresses itself and reason does not?

Yes
