The Language of the Spirit
My thoughts are higher than your thoughts, says the Lord, and my ways higher than yours.
Our natural minds process in many different ways depending on the uniqueness of the person. One thinks logically and analyzes, while another person may process information instinctively or, seemingly, impulsively. Our brains are all individually made and so we have diverse opinions, perspectives and ways to express ourselves and do things.
If we remain in these kinds of thought processes after becoming "born of the Spirit" the "way we see it" will be contradictory to the mind of Christ within us. We must surrender our old reasoning and way of thinking, and submit to the Spirit.
He has a language, which is foreign to our former mind's eye. His language is Life-Giving Truth. When He speaks it, it overrides all other forms of communication if we let it. When we first experience Him speaking this language to us, we don't comprehend it because we haven't let it go through our spirit, but are still trying to use our natural mind to understand, and this is not possible.
We must believe His promises in full assurance of faith, and it is then that we begin to receive the impact of His messages to us. That impact will blow our minds, which is what He is wanting them to do because He wants us to love Him with our hearts and our minds, and to do so we have to be conformed to His. In that way, He can communicate freely with us. This is part of the reshaping we go through so that we can be One with Him in reality.

"all that He is foreknowing and conforming as of the image of His Firstborn Son..."
