mother and father are not extensions of itself.
In animals, this adjutant triggers herding in
grazers and pack behavior in wolves. The
individuals learn how to work together as a
group because cooperation makes survival
more attainable for everyone. Communication
is necessary to accomplish this. Words allow
humans the ability to transcend the physical
realm and talk about such intangible stuff as
liberty, fairness, and love.
Worship gives my
mind the ability to
imagine God
Worship gives our mind the ability to imagine
God. The Holy Spirit can work unconsciously
with the mind through symbolism and
experience, to encourage the child to make
moral decisions. Worship activates the
emotions of awe (fear of the mysterious
unknown), humility, reverence, and gratitude,
which yield the love of God.
When the child becomes conscious enough to
recognize the value of fairness and makes
their first moral decision, usually before six,
they’ve engaged the adjutant of wisdom,
and a spark of God comes to live within the
nucleus of a person, giving birth to the soul.
Being the highest level of human mind, the
adjutant of wisdom uses information from
semantic and episodic memories from below,
combined with insights from above, to make
sense of the world and discover meaning,
which leads to awareness of universal mind
and to developing a sense of purpose.
Consciousness provides the level of attention
between perception and reaction that gives
one the ability to choose the best way to act
in each situation. Wisdom allows room for
learning from greater Mind, which comes from
a threefold connection with spiritual sources.
