67. Intelligence

It is intelligence that is intelligent. Not you, me or some other. We say he is intelligent. It seems as if a grasping power or conceptualising ability. It seems it is tool to control outcome of apparent events. we say  that intelligence is operating well at that body. How intelligence happens or doesn’t happen is something that only intelligence itself has to reveal.

Intelligence comes in many forms. Instinct is a basic category. A baby monkey has to know all gravitational laws and forces to grip its mother tight enough while it is jumping trees. Neither the mother nor the child has any fear of the baby getting dropped. Similarly a blind kitten must know that the first feed has to be sucked out from its mother, even if it can’t be seen. So intelligence just operates everywhere as if, those forms were intelligent.

The planetary system seems to be in place, the human body -functions seems to be in place, digesting and heart beating etc and this category of intelligence is more than instinctive. The whole of creation seems to be performing intelligently on its own, if taken as a single entity.

Intelligence is life. Intelligence is consciousness. It is intelligence that talks us, acts us or behaves us intelligently or foolishly to unfold the next moment in creation. Taking credit of intelligence as being a product of the brain to which ‘I’ have a control, is self imagination, which is intelligently happening to keep the objective identity of intelligence wrapped up secretly.

Intelligence appears as thoughts and acts. Thoughts happen when action is idle and action happens when thoughts  idle. Love, hate, anger, compassion are all expressions of Intelligence.

Intelligence uses a form to express itself, by being the form itself. We see only the externalisation of intelligence as a form, but its basic essence is pure intelligence, making itself appear as form, like fire to a flame. It not necessary that it appears only as visible or audible forms, but also that which we can feel or know some how. It shapes itself as thoughts, actions, emotions, feelings etc and exhibits ‘as’ Creation. It is life essence itself. Call it God, if you like. All formats that arise in consciousness is IT.

Intelligence is also that which knows itself. It knows itself by being itself. It knows anger by being anger, knows love by being love, knows compassion by being that and knows all forms by being those forms. Intelligence is the knowing –Being. Being knowing itself as ‘all there is’.

Intelligence can disguise time and space, to make itself feel illusory or real. It can play humans forms to feel as if, they are separate entities and show up as other forms as if they were not void and had something called ‘thingness’ or objective nature with those forms. Intelligence has that capacity to appear as a dream state or as a waking state playing itself as ‘mental’ or a ‘real’ universe with separate planets and people and animals, as if each were operating by themselves, independently, even though they all are being played out by that ONE intelligence.

Knowledge is intelligence. To make meaning out of sounds, that we call words, needs intelligence. It shows up as words from sounds and meanings from words and concepts from forms. It plays itself out, creating this universe and knowing it, as a game that plays itself, using human forms and other forms as their apparent ‘knower’.

All there is –is intelligence- The essence, God, Consciousness, Life, etc, whatever you want to call it, objectively being absent and subjectively being ‘all that is’.
