Episode 135: Wise Judgment | Unity Spiritual Center Denver | 4.7.24

Wisdom is our innate capacity to judge, evaluate, discern and apply knowledge. It is also the power associated with intuition. We understand intuition to be the highest function of human consciousness because it is the function of consciousness through which we receive divine ideas directly from Divine Mind. We intuitively perceive spiritual truth, which is our divine inheritance as expressions of Spirit.  This intuitive function is inherent in all humankind. However, we need to cultivate an awareness of its perpetual activity in our lives amidst all of the other activity!

Embarking on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, we consider the transformative impact of personal judgment and responsibility. Through the profound insights of Eric Butterworth and Ed Rabel, we learn to cherish self-love and steer clear of the pitfalls of self-criticism. The narrative shifts, guiding us to a place where judgment day becomes a moment of daily introspection and growth, a personal testament to our innate potential. We beckon you to join us as we embrace the boundless wisdom within, turning away from limiting beliefs, heeding the inner voice that whispers guidance, and affirming the divine knowledge that resides in each of us—tools that sharpen our intuition and equip us for the challenges that lie ahead.Join our spiritual community every Sunday morning at 10:00.
