How Do We Improve Our Intelligence?
Intelligence is improved by dropping what we think we know. It leaves more room 🙂
What we think we know is a limited, fossilised, conventional view. We may even become experts in the conventional, but it’s still a limited understanding, and there is so much more to us. When we hold on to a view, we deny further possibilities.
True intelligence comes from consciousness, not the mind. The mind is merely a memory bank; what we do with those memories – either strike an attitude or apply wisdom – is up to consciousness which stands back from re-acting. Ergo, we stand back.
Memories are experiences which we carry around. Relying on memories/programming, we live through the same old scenarios, and fill up the atmosphere.
Consciousness is always fresh, clear and spontaneous.
Spontaneous: having an open, natural, and uninhibited manner.
We usually steer away from the unfamiliar – when was the last time we were truly uninhibited?
Daring to be alone = one-ly.
When we realise we no longer need support from others,
we have a duty towards them.
