We can't personally own spiritual sense any more than we can own daylight. But by using it we make it our own, and we can see with it. And to the extent that we use it, we see good where it is and are unimpressed by what is not good. Spiritual sense is the sense of existence God, Spirit, has of His own infinite being. We find ourselves able to use spiritual sense—to see, hear, and feel spiritually—as we come to understand God.
The belief that one can personally own spiritual sense is part of the belief that man is a lot of material personalities. Mortals, dwelling in this false belief, feel it is natural for one to possess good that another does not have. But all good is of God, and man is God's spiritual reflection.
Some individuals seem naturally to discern, in special areas of human existence, something of the infinite nature of the divine Mind and of man's ability to express this nature. Somehow the light of spiritual sense comes through to them, and they express what they are in ways that show their talents to be God-given—through art, teaching, invention, statesmanship, athletics, or perhaps homemaking.
