Marsha this is how I experience intellect. My
intellect will automatically think, but the
intellectual experience for me is not about the
thinking, the thoughts, and the gains of intellect.
That's a half finished job of intellect. The finished
job of intellect is "to wipe away what one thinks and
see directly". This latter is what I find the
intellect doing. Not gaining thoughts and insights,
but losing them, thus, gaining more than myself, more
than what I think. This is what I find intellect
doing when relating to dynamic quality. This is what
intellect does when following the code of art. Each
level peeks morally when in direct experience with
primary reality.
thanks.
