hj: <x-tad-bigger>Then there is intelligence.  (Only guessing.)  Only intelligence can</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>oust the separate 'feeler'.  If intelligence displaces the separate</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>observer, feelings are free to negotiate the state of what is.  The</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>energy of thought and feeling is set free.  Freedom is intelligence.</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>Is love.  Is beauty.  All that which knowledge can't touch, though</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>we do have words for it.  Every language has those words.  Good</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>words only if we leave them undefined.</x-tad-bigger>

<x-tad-bigger>mark: yes, this separation is the prison, the</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>deep insensitivity, the misery, the immense destructivity.</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>And so in the ending of separation the</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>immense energy of living is set free,</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger> energy that is manifested as/in feelings, sensations,</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>thinking and non-thinking, the immense energy that is</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger> intelligence.  It is all one. It isn't that intelligence can</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger> somehow come first, can come before freedom, for</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger> as you say, freedom is intelligence.</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger> </x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>our work then is in the awakening of intelligence,</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>the awakening of pure feeling, pure sensation, pure</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>thinking, pure silence. It is the awakening to</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger> all that is and the illusion of all that "I" am.  </x-tad-bigger>

hj: I'm not sure that we can actually awaken that kind of intelligence.
It is not ours and it not inside us. Perhaps we need to awaken to our
inner poverty of mind, our mediocrity, our failings in generosity and
humanity. To see how short we fall of the destiny of our DNA. How
crippled we scamper through life, shameful embarrassed - not
shameful enough to explode the fearful choices we've made in life.
Or so it seems to me.
