The experience of spiritual power brings joy. Really knowing what we are doing makes us experts in living. When we truly know what we are doing we are participating in the omniscience of God (Speck, 2009). With total awareness of the nature of a situation, our motives for acting upon it and of the results of our action our conscious self succeeds in coming into alignment with the mind of God.
Those who have attained this stage of spiritual growth demonstrate a joyful humility. Their unusual wisdom has its origin in their unconscious. They are aware of their connection to the rhizome and that their knowledge flows to them through the connection (Speck, 2006). They are also aware that this rhizome is all mankind's. They feel merely as a conduit of a far greater power. With this awareness of their connectedness they feel a diminution in thier sense of self.
On the other hand, the greater one's awareness the more difficult it is to take action. The greater our awareness the more data we must assimilate and integrate into our decision-making. The more we know the more complex, yet predictable decision-making becomes. Sometimes, we may be overwhelmed by the complexity of decision-making so that we may prefer to take no action which may be under some circumstances the best action. So, spiritual power is also the capacity to maintain one's ability to make decisions with greater awareness. Omniscience does not make decision-making easier; yet the more one feels sympathy for God the more one comes closer to God.
Those who evolve to higher level of awareness may find it difficult to share their understandings with other acquaintances in their circle. This kind of aloneness is shared by all travelling on the journey of spiritual growth. In the communion of growing consciousness there is enough joy to sustain us.
