I'm just wondering how Christians with the gift of the spirit have no idea about so many of the things in the Bible.

They don't read the Bible, probably, or even go to church.

I have no opinion on the Bible being true of false. The "Gift of the Spirit" doen't even require that. The Bible actually recinded the whole thing about the gift of the spirit in the New Testement when it said that this would no longer be done "Lest othre men think you are mad."
The Bible and/or Christianity doesn' corner the market on this or any other concept.

It makes no difference whether your eyes are open or shut. The more good you do in the world, the more selfless help you give and the less you take the more ability is given to you to know spiritually with an awareness transfused as it were into you.

The things of the Spirit are "spritually discerned." Those without the Spirit cannot discern them.

The secrets can only be seen through the brown eye.

Not with closed eyes, but with an open mind.

I think they just may blink a lot but their eyes keep moving skipping over certain texts.

i think religious books are mainly an appeal to emotions, not any kind of scientific reasoning--if i understand the question correctly.

No, your eyes and heart must both be open. And your BRAIN should be on as well.

Right. With an open mind.
"Don't be so open-minded that your brains fall out," comes to mind.
