The intellect is, in my view, a mental tool to process, combine, sort, etc., and make conclusions with information in an orderly fashion.
I think it is a popular idea in spiritual circles to ignore the intellect in favor of "heart" or "love." But if one is looking at the LOO and the Ra Material, the purpose of 3rd density is to make "the choice." If one is not conscious of making the choice, it doesn't work—in other words, if one is in the sinkhole of indifference and just going around in la-la land loving everything, as a crude example, that is not really a conscious choice. One must be aware that there IS a choice between STS and STO. The mind must be engaged in the choices or they aren't aware choices. The intellect is a part of the mind.
I do understand the idea of moving past the intellect into a heart-centered place. The intellect is still a valid tool in this reality. It will take intellect, for example, to clean up the pollution humanity has dumped into the oceans. Although, perhaps in an advanced society, love alone would do it—but that is not the case here, and I see that as wishful thinking because I am a pragmatist. But hey, anything is possible.
To ignore the intellect is to ignore a hammer when building a house. We wouldn't even have the Ra Material, or the excellent content in it, without Don, whose intellect and ability to process information and comprehend complex concepts resulted in channeled material like no other (Ra's comments were dependent upon the questions Don asked). This is not to imply Carla and Jim had nothing to do with it.
It is rather comparable to the construct of time in 3D. It is useful for navigating certain things here, but the larger reality is better comprehended in the eternal moment with no past or future. Still, time has its uses here.
