“The “Intelligence of Will” denotes that this is the path where each individual “created being” is “prepared” for the spiritual quest by being made aware of the higher and divine “will” of the creator. By spiritual preparation (prayer, meditation, visualization, and aspiration), the student becomes aware of the higher will and ultimately attains oneness with the Divine Self—fully immersed in the knowledge of “the existence of the Primordial Wisdom.” The Hebrew letter Yod means “hand,” and it refers to the hand of the divine, extended to assist us. Yod is the primary letter whose shape forms the basis for all other Hebrew letters.”

“Our feelings of shame and guilt (which are often unconscious) are a denial of our divine nature and an affirmation of the illusion that the Divine is separate from the material world and from us. Consequently, such feelings keep us from a spiritual awakening. The way out of this nightmare is through self-forgiveness. When we realize that we have made a mistake we should not use it as an opportunity to berate ourselves and to justify buying into the false reality of blame and suffering. When we do that, we hold ourselves back from spiritual growth by using our mistakes to define ourselves. Instead, we must acknowledge that in our material manifestation, we are all imperfect so we all make mistakes. Then we should try to learn from those mistakes so that we can grow in wisdom, and we should forgive ourselves so we may grow in compassion.”
