Guest guest Posted March 24, 2001 Report Share Posted March 24, 2001 My problems originate from the very first part of Tom's book where he says "The great intellect is developing.." and "The great intellet has needs" and justifies this statement by equating this intellect with us. <br><br>i am of the opinion that the Great Intellect is self satisfied, does not need love because it IS love. He is constantly comparing this entity to humans and this is erroneous. We as humans are part and parcel to this intellect but in minute qualities and quantities. (Read tiny minds) Can i compare myself to someone like Steven Hawking? Apples and oranges. Compared to him i am severely retarded in intellect and it is doubtful that i will reach his level in this lifetime. That brings me to other humans of measurably severely retarded intellect. Is it their fault they do not progress to have their intellect grow? Did they choose this fate? <br><br>We try to fathom "It" with our puny little intellect of logic and for that matter, we assume that "It" has a logical basis because that is the only way we can comprehend things, by logic.<br><br>He disregards any theory of chaos or abiguiousness because it does not fit into his plan. Indeed, can the great intellect not be chaotic? Why not? Some mentally ill individuals are terrific creators of things but cant tell you what they are for. That answer lies deep within their intellect if there is an answer at all.<br><br>What happens when logic flys out the window? Tom has tried to demute his ego unsuccessfully for 5 years to no avail. Only five years? Just a few hours? Babajis spend their entire lives on this specific purpose and they do not give up. They are using their intellect too, they are just not worrying about it. Tom propably had other things to do; pay bills, write his book, have sex with his wife, etc.<br><br>i can not agree with a "Great Intellect" that is still developing "its" intellect and feelings and "uses" us to its own advantage. To my opinion, this personality is completely perfect. What's more, all emanations from it are also perfect as complete wholes. (logical huh?) What remains after perfection from perfection is yet perfect. Our intellect does not realize this yet.<br><br>Om poornamaddah Poornamidam<br>Poornaat Poornamudachyat.<br>Poornasya Poornamaadaaya<br>Poornamevaavashishyate.<br>om shanti shanti shanti.<br><br>>:*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
