St. Thomas said, “Nothing is in the intellect before it is in the senses,” and this is largely true, but the Spirit-Will is in the mind/body before it is in the senses. Knowledge comes in the mind from the outside world via the senses but then it is synthesized, knowingly or unknowingly, with knowledge from the indwelling Spirit.
The Spirit Within has wisdom from the past going back through our descendants all the way to Godhood from whence it came. This knowledge exits at the Zenith of the Soul, and the Soul exists at the Zenith of the Mind, and the mind takes in knowledge from the body and the senses.
We think in terms of following or getting in harmony with the wisdom of the Universal Spirit-Will more than the Individual Spirit-Will. The Universal seeks Godhood through evolution more directly, but the individual may not be aware of this, or seeks Godhood in a far more round about way.
