Shakespeare was a great teacher, and his mind grasped the salient issues in the practical world in which he lived and often forged away ahead into realms that modern research and discovery pronounce miraculous. Psychological insight is essential in discerning the spiritual wisdom of Shakespeare. The intellectual reader will miss entirely the references to a supermind that crop out in all his dramas.
Bible readers know that spiritual things are spiritually discerned.
This is also strikingly true of Shakespeare's works. Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend More than cool reason ever comprehends. In his infancy Shakespeare was baptized in the church, but his little-known history does not testify to his devotion. However his writings betray a very deep spiritual understanding. Neither was he a mystic.
