Make Your Spirit of Wisdom a Reality
Did you know that after a spiritual awakening, you’ve undergone a spiritual change?
Some people can feel this transformation deep within. Who they were before their spiritual awakening and who they are after is a very different person. It can be unsettling, but for many, it’s an exciting feeling of renewal.
So what causes this internal, spiritual change? When you have a spiritual awakening, your soul is imbued with divine wisdom that can be used to manifest abundance around you.
That’s quite a bit of responsibility, but here’s why you must make your spirit of wisdom a reality.
Your Spiritual Awakening Left an Impression
All religions have something to teach, and Christianity is no exception. This was a religion that formed during the Roman Empire when philosophical thought was being refined by respected thinkers, such as the Middle Platonists.
This metaphysical revolution would slowly usher in a creator god undercurrent within Greco-Roman paganism, but as Hinduism has a creator god and was a descendent of the same Indo-European ancestry group, it’s likely that an ultimate spiritual “oneness” was not unique to Abrahamic religions and is a philosophical truth interpreted differently in all religions around the world.
Christianity is a religion defined by the relationship of the Trinity: the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. The counterpart to this for humanity is the mind, body, and spirit, though the interpretation takes on different forms depending on the culture.
When you have a spiritual awakening in any religion, your body and mind become united by a spiritual bridge. But what is this bridge exactly and why is it spiritual?
The Greco-Roman pagan philosophers of the Middle Platonists had begun to identify an ultimate divine authority. We realize that authority because of divine action in our lives known as “Platonic Forms.” This can be defined as the thoughts of god.
We become aware not just of physical reality, but the spiritual origins of reality, such as the Platonic Form of love in our relationships. These are transcendent truths that have no actual form in the world. Sort of like how the human body is also a lot of bacteria and other micro-organisms, but we call that human body the Platonic Form of the individual we see embodying it.
From this, we’re left with a spiritual, moral impression of how things should be: the spirit of wisdom. Another word you could use is mindfulness.
Recognizing the Spirit of Wisdom as Your Subconscious
What’s interesting about Christianity is that Jesus was seen as an intermediary between their god and humanity, yet Jesus died on the cross. This meant he would become a spiritual king above the material world instead of being of it himself.
When a Christian chooses to follow Jesus, they’re electing to sacrifice their material concerns for spiritual ones. This mental choice is then transformed by the act of baptism which is the Christian version of a spiritual awakening.
But the purpose of this spiritual awakening is to transform them by the Holy Ghost which is then supposed to dwell within them.
We now have a modern, secular concept for this: the subconscious.
After a spiritual awakening, you’ve been given an impression of the spirit of wisdom, the Platonic Forms, and this influences how you act in the world. When you do something, especially something immoral, you feel an internal pull to act “correctly.”
No matter your religious beliefs, almost everyone has a good opinion of Jesus from the Bible. He seems perfect, even compared to spiritual gurus in history like Buddha, that it seems unbelievable he could have even existed.
The Middle Platonists believed in the need for spiritual intermediaries called daemons (not demons) to bridge celestial and terrestrial beings. In Christianity, the Holy Ghost is the daemon after Jesus’s death and until his Second Coming, but he does the intermediary work by spiritually changing the Christian to be more like Jesus through the creation of a subconscious.
For non-Christians, you’re interacting with daemons, which can be considered analogs to angels in many cases, to understand ultimate divinity. At least according to the Middle Platonists, anyway.
It’s important to remember that all religions are man-made interpretations of the divine and are heavily influenced by culture. No religion is completely right, but you should take their discoveries seriously. Your subconscious is how the daemons guide you in the right direction.
That’s why a lot of new age spiritual people rely so heavily on spirit guides: they recognize the spiritual truth of daemon intermediaries.
Harnessing Your Spiritual Gifts for the Collective Unconscious
After a Christian is baptized, they’ll know that the Holy Ghost is dwelling within them if they have spiritual gifts. Non-Christians who have their own spiritual awakenings are often on the lookout for psychic or healing abilities.
But the way these spiritual gifts manifest is through abundance, or rather a particular type of abundance.
You would be forgiven for assuming that the Holy Ghost in Christianity is the subconscious, but the subconscious is personal. Platonists generally divided a person’s non-material being into the mind and soul, but there’s another term that psychologists have formed that reflects a deeper spiritual truth: the unconscious.
The subconscious is what you suppress, but can recognize within you. The unconscious is what you repress and is not readily available to you.
Spiritual gifts tap into your unconscious and manifest abilities a person wouldn’t normally express. But these spiritual gifts are cooperative in nature and depend upon Platonic Forms discovered through the spiritual traditions we learn from cultural systems, like religion or even secular philosophy.
No one person can determine the entire depth of divinity. The enlightenment of a spiritual awakening makes us aware of Platonic Forms, but it’s not until we interact with each other through shared cognition that we uncover the jigsaw puzzle that is the collective unconscious.
Everyone has their own spiritual gifts. Christians are called to meet together in church, and when they do so their god is said to be there because of the Holy Ghost. This happens in other spiritual circumstances too, regardless of religious or spiritual beliefs, and sometimes in seemingly secular situations as well.
Interacting with each other allows us to group our unconscious spiritual gifts into a collective unconscious. That is when divinity seems most embodied in the world and we become more aware of what divinity truly is. That is when we enter a spiritual flow state as a group with immense power. This in turn helps us to better understand the spirit of wisdom and the true Platonic Forms of divinity because we have a better idea what the ultimate “oneness” intends for the universe.
Final Thoughts
Now that you know what the spirit of wisdom is, you can apply it to your own spiritual journey. Be mindful of that internal pull of your subconscious and allow yourself to be guided by divine authority.
But be open to the interpretation of your spirituality changing. Accept that you and your religion are imperfect, not because divinity is imperfect, but because we don’t tend to fully understand the concept of god, the universe, or whatever natural phenomena that created all that is.
Your spiritual gifts, whatever form they take, will help you to connect to other people so you can better understand divinity through the collective unconscious. It’s a spiritual flow state, and your spirit of wisdom gives you the ticket to experience it.
