Intelligence That Is Change

If it does not exist now (in this moment) then it has never existed.  This is a statement that cuts through to the very heart of a mind that is wholly without a self that knows.  It is the essence of the Diamond Sutra, the mind of the Buddha and of J. Krishnamurti.  The mind that no longer seeks, but simply is the truth of the absolute moment.  It leaves one without anything what so ever to cling to. No organization, no doctrine, no method, no path.  Only the realization of the aloneness (all one) or oneness of existence.

How can a person possibly understand the truth of the absolute moment when one is in the darkness of a mind that is filled with the pain and stress of what should be?  It is the projection of ones beliefs and desires.  The mind that is preoccupied with the self and its fulfillment.  However noble you think it may be to want, desire, accomplish and vanquish it is of no cosmic consequence.  For it is the very thing that creates and sustains fear and violence. It is the destruction of ones humanity and in the end amounts only to the repetition of mans penchant toward ignorance and stupidity.  One can and has created all sorts of deities (corporate and political as well as religious) that justify and comfort ones addiction to fear and faith.  You were not born to be a religious and superstitious drone.  It is hammered into you through the systematic efforts of those who wish to control and influence actions.  They are the power hungry establishment of money and organization. But because you are free you can think critically and question.  When you question you set others free.  Not as a goal or accomplishment but simply as an in the moment truth.

To be a creative humanist means that you understand totally your own conditioned mind.  That this understanding sets you free to see reality.  It binds you to the other so that your understanding becomes their understanding and together you create a oneness that transcends the trap of the acquisitive nature of ownership and accumulation of wealth.  It transcends the duality of known and unknown, of power and control.  To deny the promulgation of self interest above all else is the essence of a mind that loves unconditionally.

An Evolving Intelligence

As a person becomes acutely aware of the activities of a self that exist in a vacuum of psychological inference, one cannot help but increase one's understanding of the desire to organize and create a doctrine.  There is so much illusion in the world that is perpetuated by organizational manipulation and misinformation.  A person must constantly question motivation within and without.  You can come to a point where you understand totally the efforts of a mind that wants change, but one must remember that change is not an effort of time but a reality of the moment.  A person must realize the moment as change not as effort.  Effort creates the mind that wants to organize and create rules of conduct and doctrines of right and wrong.  One must see that such activity is always of the past projected into the future.  A future that never becomes reality.  The ability to see through to the very nature of a self that relies on time as the precursor to illusion. This ability is the beginning of an evolving intelligence.  An intelligence that evolves into and out of the moment.  This means not grasping for or holding on to the reality of the moment.  The moment is a breeze which gives life and death (beginning and ending) simultaneously without effort. True intelligence is passive.  It allows the moment to be the reality of what is without the self that knows. The self that is not choosing, that is timeless, has insight into the moment. One can see through the illusion of the known and understand the moment that is selfless.     The selfless moment gets to the root of the unconditioned and realizes what cannot be verbalized.

When you are totally free, then you are able to see.  Intelligence and freedom are the outcome of a mind that has realized the disturbance of an organizational mentality.  When one can see through the efforts of a few to control the many then that intelligence becomes action.  It is not a reaction to something deemed right or wrong.  It is action in the moment that disarms the impetus to organize against a projected dissonance.  A person must clearly understand that intelligence that is evolved does not engage in acts that seek to discredit or influence.  One simply observes.  Within that observation is the truth of the moment which stands alone without the input of a self that thinks it knows.  This does not mean that you are "thoughtless" it means that when you do speak or act it is the selfless activity of a mind that is unconditioned and therefore totally without an agenda or a cause.
