Okay, Rancheria is correct--I should offer links, and credit to sources, and include the credentials of these sources when known. We do live in a credentialed world where the upper heirarchies are filled with people of higher complex-thinking abilities and linguistic skills--right??
This is a dangerous link to take, so.......
Don't say I didn't warn you.....

Are only "complex-thinking & linguistic" people "outside" "the Matrix" (what about simple/practical people with simple/practical needs & what about languages/cultures other than English)?

But intelligence says nothing about your spiritual strength - it just helps you avoid sliding down the chute by being a sucker to ploys you don't have the awareness to foresee, though only if you apply it that way.
There are many who don't. Look at intellectuals who are weak as putty in the hands of a Matrix-orchestrated manipulation, who can understand research papers but cannot fathom that Bush is anything but a blessing.
Then there are simple and practical people who have strength of heart to withstand anything. All intellect does is expand your available choices for growing your potential, but does not guarantee it. Without the heart that even (and most often) practical people have, including those of any language because language is irrelevant to your question, spiritual evolution cannot happen. And it's spiritual evolution that allows you to outgrow the Matrix. |
