THE USE OF INTELLIGENCE

“The world needs more intelligence. There is plenty of will, but because people will not use enough intelligence, mankind everywhere is in difficulties. Your intelligence is the light of God in your soul.” A necessary part of intelligence is the study of history. Students of history see today’s events and put them in their proper perspective. Everything that is happening today has happened before; and will happen again if nothing changes. The wheel of time is constantly turning, but as with all wheels, what goes around comes around. Good times turn bad, bad times turn good. Wars start, wars end. Trouble comes, trouble goes. When we view our lives and the world with spiritual intelligence our perspective and understanding of truth alters, for nothing lasts forever, except God. When we exert our intelligence to practice the Presence of God in every facet of our lives, focusing on how we can help others, not only does our life improve but all humanity. The wheel of time will only follow a different path when we finally as a race put into practice the words on the back of every dollar bill: “In God We Trust.”
