1 Corinthians 2:10 … Searching the depths of God (02/15/17)
“These mysteries God has revealed to us through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches everything; even the depths of God.” ~ Paul (1 Corinthians 2:10)
Despite the fact that Paul was quite obviously not privy to the greater Truths he claimed to know in his epistles, this verse still reflects quite a few potent Truths independent of Paul’s probable ignorance thereof …
First of all, it is helpful to remember that “the Spirit” is an intuitive, supra-logical entity; one that feels the Truth completely but cannot explain it in concrete thought or clear word … As such, “the Spirit” reveals the essence of every Mystery to us in how we feel while living – with our choices more in alignment with that Spirit’s innate & ineffable Oneness (e.g. Kindness, Generosity, Humility, self-sacrifice, Compassion, Caring etc) bringing a more intense experience of those Truths than those choices more constrained in their self-centeredness …
Also, please note that “the Spirit” doesn’t actually “search” anything (much less search for anything) – if for no other reason than “the Spirit” is a pure facet of everything, and as such already “knows” all there is to Know …
Finally, feel free to realize that “the Spirit” is also a direct reflection of the Divine – that it is an actual facet of God Himself — and that as such needs never “search” for God either (in the same way none of us ever need to “search” for our internal True Selves). For just as we need only set our desires & fears aside & Love anyway in order to allow our innate True Self to blossom forth as a true Child of God, so too must “the Spirit” simply be reflected accordingly in thought or word or (preferably) deed in order to clearly reveal all that its Great Mysteries have to offer.
Amen … Let it be so.
