First: What “Divine Intelligence” Actually Means (Operationally)

Hill never defined Divine / Infinite Intelligence theologically. Functionally, it means information, insight, or orientation that arises outside linear conscious reasoning but is still coherent, actionable, and adaptive.

  • Clarity that reduces internal conflict.
  • Recognition rather than grand revelation.
