An Unlimited Intelligence

Why do we believe that life is limited?  We talk and think about the limitations of our existence.  In our minds we define who we are.  We say that we have this or that profession, we go to the Church or Temple, we are politically left, right or independent, we culturally belong to this race or that.  And so we divide ourselves off, we distinguish ourselves from others.  We become "us" and "them".  We create division and with it suspicion, disharmony and ultimately fear.  In a sense we are what we have always been for hundreds of thousands of years, a primitive creature who thinks from a position of fear.  A slave to the monkey brain, who only understands through the instinct for survival.  To be sure we are technologically advanced, but our technology is only an extension of our fear, our out right search for the ultimate security.  The security of not forgetting what we know and of creating a machine that never lets us forget.  A machine that projects our inadequacies and defines our fear.

We study what we know.  We repeat it in a never ending repetition of what we call learning.  We live desperate lives of repetition, of wanting to know what is contained in tomorrow so that we can predict the future and continue to live in the illusion of thinking that we know.  We are afraid of the unknown on a very primitive level.  We cannot escape the fear, though we try desperately through various forms of mind altering experiences.  But we never seem to find the intelligence that will make us face the reality of what we actually are in the absolute moment.  What we are when there is nothing that defines us.  What we are when we discard all our beliefs.  What we are when we accept life as an insecurity.  Yes we are vulnerable, we cannot escape from it.  But vulnerability is where the mind finds peace and the possibility of something beyond the self.  Something that is not found in the escapist pursuits of the known.

There is a revolution of awareness that is moving through our DNA.  It has always been available to us but our evolutionary processes have blocked our realizing it.  We carry with us the evolution of the entire universe.  We are the culmination of all that has ever been and all that will ever be.  There are no limitations to the universe.  We are in fact that universe, we are not separate from it.  To realize that we have no limitations is to realize that we have no end.  Our consciousness is the the consciousness of all things.  Yet we think in such a limited self serving way.  Is it possible for us to realize that we (all of us) are responsible for all things.  For every word we speak, for every action we take, for everything we build and destroy.  Can we accept that responsibility totally and in the absolute moment decide to take a new direction.  One that it is absent the greed and self serving interest of a defined and therefore limited entity.  We have within us the "nature" of all things both sentient and non-sentient.  This is not some new age hocus pocus.  It is a fact and you can see and realize it if you are able to look with a mind that is not cluttered with the self and its imposed limitations.  These limitations are the illusion of a mind that is caught in its own defined self importance.  Intelligence is liberation.  It is Freedom from the known and the activity of knowing.
