Intelligent Energy and Intelligent Infinity. Believe me when I say I've tried to.
I imagine Intellect is just a micro-microcosm of the Intelligent intelligence of infinity.
Imagining is different from experiencing directly. Of course you cannot imagine anything other than what is imaginable and precisely why I do not think the truth of reality is to be seen in the imagination of the intellect. I don't believe you can grasp the nature of reality purely through intellectual rearrangement of ideas. I believe it is only possible to really understand it through direct interaction. Otherwise it's like looking at the moon and believing you are getting to know the truth of the sun.
Truth is, I think the intellect is illusory and the true nature of mind is nothing like all this 'content' we experience here. Thinking as it is is a 'veiled' activity in my understanding.
Empty your mind of everything, every idea and every concept and I think that is reaching closer to the truth. This emptiness could also be described as 'equilibrium' and is why balancing is the crux of all 'progress' towards unification.
Equilibrium itself is an illusion of stability created by various forces working in harmony.
Imagine a glass of tea, you pour a little bit of lemon water in it for flavor but the mixture is akin to oil and vinegar, so to mix it you gently gyrate your wrist to push the water along the edges in a circular fashion, if you start too fast the mixture spills, but if you start slow, start the rotations in the body of liquid within the glass, you can speed up due to the rotational force pulling the liquid back inwards.
It's ability to not overflow isn't an equilibrium as much as it is just several forces working together to stabilize the total manifesting movements from going too far out of the desireable range.
Actually, rereading all of that, it might be rude to call equilibrium a 'total illusion' as the forces making it up are all illusions.
(FUUUuu- What's even real anymore, Maaaaan?!! I'm tripping mentally and I'm totally sober D: )
I believe intellect is of itself a construction of concepts both rational and abstract given a complex in-and-of-itself to operate and inform the consciousness inhabiting the 3D vehicle. I totally misunderstood what you meant too, I thought you meant contemplate, not actually perform eh heh, so I must apologize and ask you consider this new answer from me to your post:
Quote:The question to me is, why rely so much on the intellect to obtain a vision of truth? Yes, you have realized the paradoxical and self-contradictory nature of pure thought, but then go further, transcend the intellect and you may reach closer to the truth of nature, if you ask me.
I personally believe that the various tools we have at our exposal (intelligence, intellect, imagination, abstraction, visualization, thought's-themselves, emotions, intuition, ad-infinitum-etc... ) are actually also Keys to unlocking the nature of 'Truth' that is available to be unlocked or experienced in the occupied Density.
One must have self-awareness to make use of the plethora of tools that exist, a lack of sentience doesn't bar one from these tools but it's a lot harder to use a tool of construction when you have no idea that you're capable of construction.
This concept of 'an idea' or 'no idea' is important in my opinion when regarding things like Intelligent Infinity and it's various facets of manifested truth, as in my opinion Truth itself is not manifest or potentiated, but majorly exists as a pure concept or 'idea'. We human's have run into this issue of combating an 'idea', there is nothing manifest that can fight an idea directly.
So to me, using the imagination and intellect to parse a direction of an idea of 'Truth' is my foundation, this foundation has the cornerstones of: Emotional Information (as in a 'formulation of information from emotional experience'), Intuitive Information, Abstract Construction/Deconstruction, and, well this last one is hard to describe because it isn't a simple cornerstone. It's the sum of all of my experiences informing my present state, you could call it simply, the cornerstone of Life Experience.
It's also my weakest cornerstone as I have not been very earnest in experiencing this reality fully, I want to be a part of nature but not struggle within it, I want to be a part of society but not conform to it's standardizations. So you have touched upon one of my core weaknesses, not wanting to manifest situations for myself to experience to help further parse my pathway towards the idea of Truth available to me.
Let me be frank with you all; we are all Truth-Seekers, no? In this lifelong journey the universe manifest a distortion, but none-the-less a form of Truth for us to discover in the form of; The Law of One becoming available knowledge on Earth.
I believe that this alone is indicative of Truth being wholly within grasp to anyone, even the mundane spiritually unaware 3D being can stumble upon Truth, in fact I'm more than sure such has happened. Specifically as an example, those who disappear over the Bermuda Triangle pyramid are being transported through distortions in the space/time continuum into another portion of our space/time continuum. The journey itself from point A to point B through that temporal distortion would be itself a direct experience of witnessing truth, Truth that Time itself is not purely absolutely fixed, and that it's passage can be circumvented if not overcome.
Truth, what is Truth? How does one discover it or make sense of how to discover it, Aion? Intellect isn't enough, experience isn't enough, I think it takes something more than simple tools and keys provided to the consciousness. I think it takes consciousness itself to manifest Truth (hence distorting it into a knowable form from it's pure 'idea-form').
Hence the reason Ra says that Consciousness is the Microcosm of the Law of One, it's as our cells build up our physical body to allow us to inhabit it, consciousness is that m/b/trillion/quadrillion/zillion portions that constitute and construct the higher formations and formulas, the same way all of the stars in the universe form the universe.
I have actually never seen a discussion of this phrase, 'Consciousness is the Microcosm of the Law of One', I think it holds some means in helping us seek further 'The One Infinite Truth'.
Honestly though, I think this 'One Infinite Truth' is the mystery-clad One Infinite Creator becoming -fully/absolutely- known, which I theorize is both im/possible, impossible in that infinity cannot ever be fully known without severing it's infinite nature, and in this endeavor Infinity too might just be an Illusion to the Law of One decree made by this mystery-clad figure as without things like space or time to manifest the...irrational nature of ever-expanding complexity, you're left with an environment that could be called 'known', leaving the mystery behind, showcasing infinity too as just another illusion and distortion of the one, who may very well itself transcend such human-based understandings as labels like 'infinity'.
Yet, is also possible in that if the One Infinite that transcends the infinite nature and hence formulates it's illusion of being, can create like an artist with pen and ink, anything desireable from a formation of Illusion (or 'emptiness'), bringing full circle the concept dichotomy of something/nothing belonging to the same core energy. This being possible due to the paradox that an illusion is still a real formulation with form and presence and manifestation, despite not being real.
Essentially, all I'm saying is I think 'The Truth' is synonymous with discovery of 'The One Infinite Self' which is essentially not manifest or potentiated or belonging to things like Intelligent Energy or Intelligent Infinity but is itself a pure/purer/purist form of an 'Idea'. Which may very well just be 'Thought' but even more complex/simple.
If as above so below applies ad infinitum, then we are discovering distorted actual parts of the One Self, that once distilled showcase portions of 'The Truth' despite these portions themselves being still distortions.
Does an absolute knowledge of all infinity 'stabilize' it's exponential growth for a while, so that the one may parse what it has come to know of itself in a way that can be said to be 'the one becoming whole again'?
There's also the fact that there exists an 'Original Thought' that spawned all of this, of which was said to be, as close as can be described to us, Unconditional Love. Is this a mere microscopic facet of the One Infinite Self?
Quick, someone get Ra on the line! I think I just figured out an entire question book to ask them!
But Aion, ultimately I have no idea how to take your suggestion into manifestation, how on this entire Planet of Earth am I supposed to 'perform' a transcendence of intellect?
I'm a highly mental person, my physical vehicle has as a preincarnational ruleset a decent amount of limitations probably to help cultivate the continual refinement of my mental energies over my physical ones, and though the physical ones are still important, I feel that I'm here more to cultivate mind more so than body.
Seriously though, some days I just want to pull a Forrest Gump and begin jogging across the nation to avoid my suffering and loneliness in place of physical exertion, but the reality is I'd probably die lol
So, if you have any suggestions for me to 'perform transcending intellect', I'm open to them, but just know I probably won't be able to do what you suggest of me.
Hey Jeremy, thank you for your reply, I'll get back to you later~
