hich each soul is an
individual form of expression.
This gives us the inner guiding which we call intuition. "Intuition is
to the spiritual nature and understanding practically what sense
perception is to the sensuous nature and understanding. It is an inner
spiritual sense through which man is opened to the direct revelation
and knowledge of God, the secrets of nature and life, and through which
he is brought into conscious unity and fellowship with God, and made to
realize his own deific nature and supremacy of being as the son of God.
Spiritual supremacy and illumination thus realized through the
development and perfection of intuition under divine inspiration, gives
the perfect inner vision and direct insight into the character,
properties, and purpose of all things to which the attention and
interest are directed. . . . It is, we repeat, a spiritual sense
opening inwardly, as the physical senses open outwardly; and because it
has the capacity to perceive, grasp, and know the truth at first hand,

upon the recognition of this spiritual faculty of the soul, and its
power to receive and appropriate them. . . . Conscious unity of man in
spirit and purpose with the Father, born out of his supreme desire and
trust, opens his soul through this inner sense to immediate inspiration
and enlightenment from the Divine Omniscience, and the co-operative
energy of the Divine Omnipotence, under which he becomes a seer and a
master.

holds the impersonal attitude and acts with unfettered freedom and
unbiased vision, grasping truth at first hand, independent of all
external sources of information. Approaching all beings and things
from the divine side, they are seen in the light of the Divine
Omniscience. God's purpose in them, and so the truth concerning them,
as it rests in the mind of God, are thus revealed by direct
illumination from the Divine Mind, to which the soul is opened inwardly
through this spiritual sense we call intuition." Some call it the
voice of the soul; some call it the voice of God; some call it the
sixth sense. It is our inner spiritual sense.
In the degree that we come into the recognition of our own _true_
selves, into the realization of the oneness of our life with the
Infinite Life, and in the
