Like theists, I believe there is more wisdom available than is at my disposal. But no external genie is needed for that. Look for it instead in the depths of who you are beyond your conscious mind. All manner of insight and inspiration can be found therein. So where they pray for a gift from without, I simply tap the source we all have on board. It is still a gift which can be revoked at any time, so some reverence for the source is warranted. So humility too is available without the contrast to an omni-anything being.Careful...you're entering dangerous "the kingdom of heaven is within you" territory.
