Intelligencia

[Guest guest]

If a person actually had the intelligence the writers of dictionaries

ascribe to mankind in general ( " a fast-moving stupidity-wave? " ), he

would not need, nor want to, study the writings of those humans

who've already passed away, regardless of their level of attainment,

unless he wanted to be some type of scientist - who studies

physical/material matters of any and all kinds - wherein the primary

rule seems to be: " why re-invent the wheel? " (based upon the correct

idea: you don't have enough time to " catch-up " )

 

But if a person wanted to know about non-scientific, non-material

matters - like awareness, consciousness, awakening, enlightenment,

liberation, psychology, philosophy, etc., etc., including the

all-inclusive " What makes me and humanity tick? " - " inventing the

wheel " is your only choice, as there are no wheels that you can

utilize in there, you have to invent your own, and then you have to

learn to ride them to actually " go anywhere. "

 

The nay-sayers who, in their presumed cleverness reply: " there is no

where to go, and no one to go there, and no there in any case " (blah,

blah, blah), say that because they themselves have never gone

anywhere other than where external forces have pushed them, and

getting older, and feebler, have simply given up.

 

Funny thing about " inventing " wheels, and then " learning " to ride

them, and then " going somewhere new " - you can only describe in the

most general of terms, what works for you, and what works for you

only works when it >>did<<, and then it's time to invent something

new, so you're always in a mode - when discussing such things - of

describing that which you've already surpassed, gone beyond,

" outgrown " .
