Hello everyone and welcome to my 4th blog…
In my last topic we coverd a big and fundamental issue. I explained what truth IS and what truth IS NOT. There is hardly anything else that could be more important to understand in the all of existance, because this is the base where everything else is build on.
If the base is build brittle and weak (e.g. build of Illusions) everything else build on it is doomed to fall sooner or later… and it does not matter how well calculated and stable the buildings are on top of it. In the end they will all fade away and be remembered as an example of how not to do built something on that type of ground.
But when your foundation is strong, solid and unbentable, incredible possibilities are starting to emerge. You suddenly realise you can built entire skyscrapers with heights way beyond your wildest dreams. Every type of building suddendly doesn’t only seem possible but basically begs you to dream it into existence and built it on top of that base so it can experience itself.
Now we have the fundament, we can start the built…
Soon we realise that big buildings (to stay with the metaphor) have a lot of attributes that still have to be considered. If we want them to stand firm, at the same time being flexible when winds and earthquakes occure and people stand in awe in front of it we have to harmonize a lot of issues in order to achieve our goal.
And this takes us to our topic of today: True intelligence
There is a lot of confusion in the world of what intelligence actually is. And today we will aim for a deeper and clearer understanding of that term.
When you mention the word “intelligence” then by default certain pictures immediatly pop up infront of your inner eye. You are probably thinking of a big man with glasses in a dark suit and a tie, probably a book or laptop in his hands or maybe a scientist in a white lab coat holding a test tube (if yes you are probably thinking of me because I have an education as a lab assisstant ;-))
But these images of the mind are the ones that they want you to have because they are only representing one half of real Intelligence.
These scientist-, librarian- and “expert”-archetype pictures represent not true Intelligence. They only represent intellectual beings… and that is a humongous difference.
A human can be as intellectual as it wants to be. If it is only that, it is only half intelligent at best. If you talk (or just listen) to an only intellectual being you soon realise that something is missing. You might not know what it is but there is an urging feeling that something is not “whole” in this being. They themself do feel it deep inside of them, but they often can not recognise it as such because they have this feeling all the time and as years passed on it became “normal” and eventually “part of who they are”. If you would ask them they would answer you that everything is alright with the way they think everyday all day. They often have a tendency of being arrogant, authoritarian and overtly closeminded.
Nobody would describe such qualities as “intelligent”… and that is right… it is not “intelligence” what they have. There are two parts to true intelligence. They only have one part (at best) and they miss the other part of intelligence.
What they are lacking is Intuition.
Our brain is divided into two parts. The left hemisphere and the right hemisphere. Each one of them has essential duties and responsibilities corresponding to the gender it inhabits. Our body may have only one of two genders but our mind has always both of them… and to unite them should always be our desire. Otherwise we can never really accomplish anything to the fullest extend.
So… how do they work…?
The left brain deals with the male aspects of the mind:
It is the logical thinker. It sees the trees. It is the scientist, the mathematician. It plays with numbers and calculates equations. It loves the familiar and the “comfort zone”. It categorizes. It is accurate and precise. It thinks analytical, strategic and in angles. It loves pragmatic behavior. Efficiency and effectiveness makes it excitet. It always wants control for something. It is the master of words and language. It is realistic. It is the predictable part of the mind.
The right brain deals with the female aspects of the mind:
It is the creative thinker. It sees the forest. It is the artist, the poet. It loves vivid colors and urges to paint on an empty canvas. It loves the adventure into the unknown. It sees always the whole. It loves the movement of curves and spontanous changes. It has no limits of what is possible. It likes to let things happen. It is the master of creation and boundless imagination. It is the random part of the mind
If the left brain is chronically imbalanced it can eventually lead to following false believes:
- Rigid Skepticism: Nothing is real when it is beyond my comprehension, even when the evidence for it is overwhelming and basically “in my face”.
- Scientism: Logic thinking is my god. Everything has to be finite. If something can’t be explained by numbers or words it can not exist. Period.
- Atheism: There is no such thing as a higher force, that created the universe. Everything in existence is by random chance and has no purpose or meaning.
- Solipsism: “I” is all there is. Everybody else is an illusion for me. There is no such thing as THE TRUTH. There is only “MY TRUTH”. Nothing can be really known.
- Moral Relativism: I can make up what is right or wrong. Since there is no objective truth there is no objective right or wrong and I choose at the whim of mine what is right or wrong.
- Social Darwinism: Life is a constant struggle to survive. And only the fittest and strongest can achieve that and be supreme over the others.
- Authoritarianism: Since there is no objective truth and only the strongest survive there exists something as “Authority”. There are masters and slaves that have different “rights” to do something. I want to be a master and I want control over anything… and I will do everything for it…
If the right brain is chronically imbalanced it can eventually lead to following false believes:
- Naiveté: Everything I see, hear and sense is real. There is no such thing as a “lie”. All is truth and there is no illusion.
- Blind Believe: Since there is only truth in existence I believe everything i have been told. I do not question and I do not seek for hidden agendas.
- Religious Extremism: I do not believe in free will. Everything is predetermined by god and there is nothing I can do about it. Everybody else has also to obey.
- Solipsism: “I” is all there is. Everybody else is an illusion for me. Therfore I feel permanently separate from everybody else. There is no conection between everything for me.
- Unworthiness: I am not worthy of living a good life and feeling happy without guilt. I have to accept everything thrown at me and I do never speak up.
- Self-Loathing: Since everybody uses me as a push-around I have very low self esteem. I deeply belive that something is wrong with “me” and therefore I hate myself.
- Order Follower: Because everything is predetermined, I feel unworthy and hate myself I do everything I am told without questioning to give my life a purpose.
- Willing Slave: I believe that there is something as “Authority”. There are masters and slaves that have different “rights” to do something. I want to be a slave and I want be told anything I do… and I will never reject it…
As you can see from this detailed and graphic description of the two parts of the mind ( represented mostly in the body by the brain) it is utterly important to know how it works and how to avoid imbalance of these two.
Only intuition and intellect combined can give birth to true intelligence and nothing else.
A distorted mind in someone can easily lead to destruction of oneself and cause harm to others. A distorted mind in everyone can easily lead to destruction of an entire species and cause incomprehensible harm and damage to its environment.
A well balanced mind however can literally initiate the dawn of a new era. To archive a new level of beauty and order that seemed to be totally impossible before. When you know to harmonize these two mental qualities, then – to come back to our metaphor – you open the gates to understand how to build even the most extrodinary buildings.
Now would be the question: With your new ability to built every kind of building you want by being truly intelligent… what kind of builing do you want to built? Is every building able to give you and everyone a new good quality of life?
No!
Because sooner or later it will be realised that a waterpark and a canontower are fundamentaly different in the way they impact on everybody. The waterpark gives most of the people joy, happines and fun. The canontower instead, although built solid and safe with true intelligence, brings pain and suffering to everyone affected by it.
So there is another fundamental divide within every building…
Is it used for a right purpose or is it used for a wrong purpose!? And what is the difference between the two?
This would be the next topic of my blog, and i will leave you with that cliffhanger here 😉 See you there then…
Love and peace,
your Vatono
