Guest guest Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Hi Anders, Probably (haha) ? But let us consider the question: Is there also intelligence besides thinking, or is thinking the only souce of intelligence, or maybe thinking is no intelligence at all but just a social function needed for communication ? If indeed there is intelligence which doesn't need thought, why not listen ot it, why not follow its hints and whispering ? Is it because this intelligence is wordless, speechless, not using any learned language but rather works in a direct way, like for example emphathy, instincts or insights ?

An infinitely difficult task, and if there is such intelligence operating, rational thinking can not be the highest expression of it, or rather, rational thinking _is_ a result of the highest form of intelligence, but it has to evolve, find its way through the jungle of entropy. /AL > > > Nisargadatta , " anders_lindman " > <anders_lindman> wrote: > > > > Nisargadatta , " Werner Woehr " <wwoehr@p...> > wrote: > > > > > > Hmm, hmm, > > > > > > And you, Anders, have always an answer - even if one hasn't asked > you > > > for one. > > > > > > Werner > > > > I am probably living too much in the intellect, which likes > questions > > and answers. > > > > /AL > > > > > > > > > > > Nisargadatta , " anders_lindman " > > > <anders_lindman> wrote: > > > > > > > > Nisargadatta , " dan330033 " > <dan330033> > > > wrote: > > > > > > > > > > Nisargadatta , " anders_lindman " > > > > > <anders_lindman> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > My idea is...........that ALL > > > suffering..........can > > > > > be > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > avoided.............by......intense..........awareness.... > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Divisionless awareness avoids nothing. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > All-inclusive, holographic. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Divisionless awareness is a regression into > oblivion. > > > > > True > > > > > > > > > > awareness > > > > > > > > > > > is so much smarter than that! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Divisionless oblivion is a regression into > awareness. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > True oblivion is so much less than you. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I don't understand what you mean here.

There's no 'intellect' and no 'I' that could live there. Still the same game--where I 'has' so-called options, could 'have an existence somewhere else.'
