The Revolution of Intelligence
Is it possible for peoples of different cultures and beliefs to live in peace and acceptance? It is very easy for one to get caught up in the self which is seeking the security of the conditioned mind. One does not accept 'what is', so one cannot accept the reality of one's own prejudice and the misery and conflict that it brings. Mind/thought and the one who thinks is seeking conformity to its beliefs and ideals. But the world seldom conforms to one's way of thinking, one's prejudicial comparisons and conclusions. That is why it is so important for the mind to understand its own inward division, which is the cause of all outward division. With understanding comes the freedom of intelligence.
In order to understand one must realize the necessity of freeing one's mind from conditioned consciousness. As long as you use the conditioned mind to interpret the reality of the moment you will forever be in conflict and confusion. One will never have the clarity that is necessary to observe the manipulation and exploitation that is the outcome of a mind that is engaged in identification and attachment. This activity is one's separation and isolation which breeds suspicion and violence. One must observe and be aware of the subtlety of thought and its propensity to become attached to ideals which seem to provide security. But which in reality only propagate fear and suspicion.
If one can have understanding that is the outcome of actual observation and experiencing of minds conditioned activity, then one will realize intelligence. Intelligence that is the dissipation of beliefs and ideals. Intelligence that is the realization of the moment and the acceptance of 'what is'. One may realize that beliefs are not the reality of the unseen and immeasurable. That ideals are not the reality of peace and freedom.
It is the revolution within, the revolution of unconditioned intelligence that rejects being anesthetized by nationalistic idealism, religious dogma or monetary gain. These things only put one to sleep, they create the apathy of a dull and unintelligent mind. When one is awakened to the truth then there is the action of intelligence, the unconditioned. It is the outcome of a mind that is totally free and only a mind that is unhindered by accumulations can realize truth.
Revolution creates disturbance. A disturbance in the mind, that takes the 'known' and stands it on its head. To turn everything over in the mind and realize the nonsense of it all. One can only 'know' the self, which is its identity through accumulated experience. One can never 'know' another. Whatever is known is a projection of self. This then is the illumination of self. That which is observed in another is the psychological manifestation of self. It is you.
The outcome of this illumination is intelligence of the unconditioned. The unconditioned is not seeking the proliferation of its opinions and conclusions, because it has none. It is free to discover the truth of the absolute moment. When one lives in the peace of unconditioned intelligence it envelops all who are within its sphere and they sense the peace of a nonthreatening presence. They see that you have no agenda and that you do not exist to manipulate and exploit, but only to provide what can be provided without condition.
The illumination of humanity.
