Yeah, Thanks that helps; my interest in this idea of the 'settled intellect' Like another way to understand transcendence. And that it is ok for the intellect to just stop; take a break, so to speak... And how that maybe habituated into the system: Perhaps like less intellect and more Heart, more Being, carried into relative life... Perhaps the intellect takes on a different dimension also, in higher states of consciousness? ------------------------ Yahoo!
