Recognize the nature of intelligence

Many people ask, what is intelligence?  Answers sought outside self differ from those offered at soul level.  Where do you look?

In the global marketplace, the economics of supply and demand suggest intelligence is quantifiable.  Participating soceties create imagined needs.  In this way, a person is viewed as intelligent according to practical utility of or marketability of skills or inventions. 

In realms where beliefs reign, intelligence is grounded in principles and value judgements.  Assumptions emerge like those who are more intelligent necessarily have more or less material wealth, health or specific conditions that are not equally accessible, yet widely desirable. 

From another vantage point, intelligence is something earned through experience in this and other lifetimes.  Consider societies that revere elders, reincarnated spirits, cultural history, or rituals and traditions which are practiced and mastered over time. 

Ultimately, people can say things about your body or mind, but does this truly reflect intrinsic value? Who can say anything about soul? What if everyone is gifted with the same infinite, inner knowing, yet accepts this to greater and lesser degrees? Only soul echoes the truth.

Feel the impact

When you are not doing anything in particular, existence flows silently through you.  It is more noticable when you expect nothing and await nothing.  Remember a moment when you feel no motive.  Imagine you are a tree swaying in the wind, a flat stone sitting beside a babbling brook or a cloud nestled amidst rolling hills.  In this moment, you exist outside the mind.  You sense an unparalleled freedom with no boundaries. The presence you merge with is indescribable.  You sense it is always there, and grow aware of Cosmic Synchronicity

Accept that which defies words

Throughout different stages of conscious awakening, one has experiences that defy words and often seem contrary to what mind tells you is possible.  This shift to focus on faith and trust in feelings is a significant step.  Mind has no experience with what you sense here.

That which you encounter may harbour a different sense of humour.  You may not realize what to make of the distinct sense you are no longer in the body, no longer a prisoner of the judgmental mind. As you shift focus to  be guided by light energy, messages you receive arise as images, vibrations, symbols, metaphors and other forms.  As you allow this to flow, you comprehend things you had forgotten.  Consider that every experience connects you with all of life and awakens you to new dimensions of how you Transform your life.

Develop deeper understanding

It is said no person is born bias-free.  You may dream of nurturing perspectives other than those which focus the mind.  You may wonder how to work through your perceived belief systems and discard ingrained assumptions.  To be aware you have them may compel change. After all, you are self-determined and have power to shift the focus of your life.  Everything is a matter of perception and choice.

It can be helpful to explore and learn about people and situations.  Personal contact with people, traditions and ways of life that seem to differ from your own offer additional insight and realizing individuals are more than representatives of a stereotypical group reminds you of a common humanity.  Choose to sense deeper connections beyond distance and opposition.  Consider factors that can help you eliminate your own bias.  Reflect on your taste preferences and choices.  What do they reveal? How does it serve you to revise perception?

Know you can deal with anything

Each person has the capacity deep within to sense and deal with anything.  Even now, you are in the process of expanding, of reminding your conscious self that beneath fear, jealousy and doubt, you know only joy. When do you recall feeling completely calm and tranquil? Experience this agin, as if for the first time.  As waves of turmoil arise in the external world, they no longer affect you anymore.
