Intelligence
However much intellectual artifice is thrown at the question, PHD dissertations and above, we arrive at a wall of words where the description (via a process of osmosis) is entertained and contained within parameters, usually a self-referential over-estimation on look how smart I am .and you should thank me . Yeah, but drinking spirits does not necessarily make you spiritual either . The word intelligence is useful in casual conversation, but too inexact to be useful beyond that; nonetheless it is often used by self-filtered, self-qualified respondents with binary constructs, over-simplified narratives, dramatized individual stories, even nuanced analysis with the illusion of choice circling the drain, ignoring simplicity and the better the question the better the answer. And here I thought I had my simple and direct approach just right when I learn that there are several levels beyond simple and direct, Well, .., when the questions are just as important as the answers, like asking is there anybody home ? and will you come out and play ? and where cognitive distortions prevent the escape from the fantasies of your own creation, the answer is simple; but it s not easy. I heard a rumour that at least once, once you understand, is enough to support a graceful exit from a position of knowing without too much sticking to your Gucci Loafers and view the Universe from the edge of your seat without an addiction on something else in place of it, that learning information is not knowledge, that knowledge is not knowing, that knowing is not being, (for the time being) that being is I- am= ness, if you are light enough . . and if you fly high enough.
