I am the light, John 12:46

In the Bible there are many mentions to the light. The teaching of the lamp in Mark 4: 21-23 and Luke 8:16-18; the parable of the lamp in Luke 11:33-36, the healing of a man born blind John 9.
In Metaphysics the light, the truth, the good belongs to the genre of the being instead the darkness, the lie to the genre of non-being. It is logical to attribute to the divine that which belongs to the first genre, that is, to what it is.
The light represents the knowledge that iluminates internally all men.Knowledge should be not hidden. Ignorance is a form of oppression.
The light as perfection of God can be interpreted also as eternal life, nobody can walk in darkness.
Also the light is related with the truth:"But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light", John 3:21
At last in the Bible the light is related with the idea of Gnosis, the ilumination by the grace of God, the ilumination as gift of God: "Everyone will be salted with fire" Mark 9:49.

Spiritual Gift of Counsel

The Spiritual Gift of Counsel or the Art of Listening is the art of the wise.
In the Bible Solomon ask to God a heart that knows how to listen: "At Gibeon the Lord appeared during the night in a dream, and God said: Ask for whatever you want me to give you......So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong......The Lord was pleasant that Solomon had asked for this. So God said to him.....I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart. 1 Kings 3: 1-12
Wisdom must be asked. The Art of listening is not prudence. The prudence is related with the faculties of the soul: imagination and fantasy. The spiritual gift of Counsel with the faculties of the spirit: intuition, inspiration, creativity.
The counsel is a spiritual gift, a perfection in religion is related with the Holy Spirit. Practical cases are: King Solomon and the two prostitutes, 1 Kings 3:1, Jesus and the denarius (Luke 20:25)

Spiritual Gift of Knowledge

"He opened their minds so they could understand the scriptures" Luke 24:45. Open the mind in the Bible means to receive the 7 spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit, the integrity, and in this particular case "to understand the scriptures" this refers to the spiritual gift of knowledge. Through the spiritual gift of knowledge we can access to the knowledge of the divine things, the knowledge of the Word of God, the inspire Wisdom.
 Is the proper gift of the spiritual man. This passage of the Bible is related with: "The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man make judgements about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man´s judgment" 1 Corinthians 2:14-15
To understand the spiritual gift of knowledge we must know the triple division of man: body, soul and spirit. This triple division give raise to 3 types of man: the natural man (prevails the body), the rational man (prevails the soul) and the spiritual man (prevails the spirit).
The concept of reason explains an intermediate state between good and evil, the concept of reason is related with the natural and rational man, also the faculties of the soul: imagination and fantasy, instead the spiritual gift of knowledge is related with the intuition, the inspiration, the creativity, and the progressive thinking.
The objective of reason are the temporary things instead the objective of the knowledge are the eternal and inmutable things.
