Intelligence is a natural phenomenon -- just as breathing is, just as seeing is. Intelligence is the inner seeing; it is intuitive. It has nothing to do with intellect. Never confuse intellect with intelligence, they are polar opposites. Intellect is of the head; it is taught by others, it is imposed on you. You have to cultivate it. It is borrowed, it is something foreign, it is not inborn. But intelligence is inborn. It is your very being, your very nature.

Thanks for that. My 'inner seeing' will never be the same again.

Remember the time you kept changing your birthday and you had a birthday thread every day?

That was funny. You should do that again.

osho, do you have another username by any chance?

Mind functions in 'either/or' way: either this can be right or its opposite can be right. Both together cannot be right -- as far as mind, its logic, its rationality is concerned. If mind is 'either/or' then the heart is 'both/and.' The heart has no logic, but a sensitivity, a perceptivity. It can see that they both can not only be together, in fact they are not two. It is just one phenomenon seen from two different aspects.

Intelligence is integral--intellect is dialectic.

why do youcall intuitionalism and things and such "intelligence
that seems aweird describer for it

Osho is dead. I strangled him with Ma Anand Sheila's mala.

and the two are mutually exclusive?

The intellect supports the ego. Problems must exist for the intellect to gain power over spirit. Problems are created. Then the ego is feed. Misery needs problems; the ego needs solutions and control; the mind has a storehouse of facts for the intellect to use to solve the problems. Intelligence is in the heart; it knows problems can be disolved before they need fixing. The mind needs chaos to be aware of its existence. The intellect rises to power. Intelligence is creative; it addresses problems before they begin.

Existence is not a problem to be solved, it is a mystery to be lived. And you should be perfectly aware what the difference is between a mystery and a problem. A problem is something created by the mind; a mystery is something which is there, not created by the mind. A problem has an ugliness in it, like disease. A mystery is beautiful. With a problem, immediately a fight arises. You have to solve it; something is wrong, you have to put it right; something is missing, you have to supply the missing link. With a mystery there is no question like that. The moon arises in the night.... It is not a problem, it is a mystery. You have to live with it. You have to dance with it. You have to sing with it, or you can be just silent with it. Something mysterious surrounds you.

Dicsolexy, I did this especially for you. These are the words in all of ohso's posts. Just rearrange them, copy them, throw in some 'and' 'the' 'to' etc. and you've got what paladin I mean osho is saying.

thanks.

Intelligence is consciousness. Be yourself. Love yourself. Be aware of yourself.

Are these words really such a conflict in people's minds that an entire thread has to be wasted asserting the difference between them? Or am I just in a bitchy mood?

And by the way, this is not news. Shouldn't this be in the Spirituality & Philosophy forum?

ignore it, it's mental

.. Intellect is not creative. Creativity comes from a deeper intelligence.
