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.

Listen to the pulse of everything

Human beings often question, what is truth? They make choices, generate emotions and accumulate experiences. Sometimes they also ask, to what end? For what purpose?

During extensive hikes through dense, natural habitat, I chose to feel the bark and roots of trees and inhaled natural forest aromas.  I lay down on a rugged beach of eroded pebbles and listened to the pulse of everything.  The wind blew on may face as the waves lapped at the shore. As I empty the mind, certain messages ring true.  Ask yourself how you resonate with this;

1) True peace, love and grace exist within every soul.

2) Peace outside is only found as you reconnect with soul.

3) The centre or Source is everywhere, within everything.

4) Power is not of or within any human being. It is in all.

5) Equality and interdependence restore each living soul.

6) Something beyond comprehension watches over all.  

7) The rhythm in the ground is the same energy above.

8) Where you are is a guide but its never a fixed path.
