Just for fun, I wanted to share this.
Have I ever shared my "Levels of Intelligence" theory with you? The premise is easy to see, but more involved to explain. You can stop reading here if you want and just check out the attached picture.
Higher level thinking comes from the center. Lower level thinking comes from the outer levels. Isolation, conflict and other low frequency thoughts that lead to the same type of experiences come from the outer levels. Love, purity, trust, openness and other high frequency thoughts leading to the same experiences come from the center. The first three levels are what you are...the outer three design what you become as you live on this plane of existence.
Level 1: CENTER
I have imagined the center of my ever-expanding imagination. The "stone" that was dropped into the vapor igniting it to life. That center of each of us from which all life and light radiates out is pure creative energy...some call it GOD. The center of your imagination and therefore yourself is GOD. This is magical to realize. GOD is all things...or "pure creative light/energy" if a person doesn't like the emotional luggage that come through the word GOD. Because GOD is in all things, we connect with ALL THINGS there.
Level 2: DESIGNATION
Around that "LIGHT" in the center is the set of intelligence that comes from being HUMAN. Every cell in our body grows a certain way because that intelligence (and others) are passed forward from now to forever. Because we are HUMAN, we can connect there with anyone.
LEVEL 3: ENVIRONMENTAL ADVANTAGES
Around our HUMAN-ness is a set of "TRIBAL" intelligence that is passed forward. This IS your DNA and the intel contained in each strand. It is what turns on and off certain aspects of how you manifest on a physical plane as a human BODY. This is integral in your personality...though subconscious. This intelligence allows us to adapt physically to the environments that our bodies "anticipate". This is why some store energy differently, have different features like larger ears, longer legs/arms etc based on "tribal intelligence" passed from generation to generation DIRECTLY.
LEVEL 4: SPIRITUAL INTERNETWORK
Around that...is a sense of subconscious intelligence that I consider "social consciousness" or an acute awareness or atmosphere of ALL things that ANY human experiences on this earth. This is a spiritual or pre-physical realm that provides a detailed accounting of all "experiential" knowledge that has been gathered since the beginning of time. All things "known" by experience live here...in your subconscious. HOWEVER: at this level there is a departure from "TRUTH" as "impressions" begin to float around here BECAUSE "experience" is processed by fallible individuals. Some of this experience we are aware of because we hear the history of it through others or other resources. The "spin" or "impressions" on those stories tend to skew the mind into designing its own impressions to match that. Example: "WE ARE IN THE USA and this is the BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD" may be something that a person CLINGS to and seeks evidence over while someone else completely disagrees with that impression added to the truth that this is the USA.
LEVEL 5: INDIVIDUALITY
From there: PERSONAL experience becomes the next level or layer of your subconscious mind...PLUS your impressions based on your "perspective." This is VERY important. It is the "impressions" or "stories" we build immediately based on our limited perspective that can change YEARS LATER as perspective changes. Because we like to be "right": we tend to constrain ourselves to our perspectives by constantly seeking to uphold them with "EVIDENCE". Example: A person may say "I am un-lovable" because they set that theorem out there due to one "event" in their personal experiences. They will then spend a considerable amount of effort "supporting" that with "evidence" they tend to find for themselves readily since they are focused on seeing that "evidence" even if it isn't there. It is similar to the glass is half-empty or half-full effect.
LEVEL 6: OPERATING SYSTEM
All of this rolls up through your operating system which many call the EGO. It is the EGO that is just on the other side of your conscious mind so we are quite aware of it. EGO is CONSTANTLY telling us stories and trying to manage our "impressions". The EGO is responsible for this and feels it's sense of worth as it "translates" all the other truth from the levels under it into a form that your intellectual self can digest. Unfortunately, most people operate from this level. The EGO is MOSTLY "impressions" since it is the FURTHEST from the center...GOD.
Truth Encountered must get ALL THE WAY THROUGH to the center to be validated by the source of ALL truth and then make it all the way out to the conscious mind to resonate and be confirmed. If the "filters" of the rest of your sub-conscious prevent that truth from validation, a person can't truly tell the difference.
When a person operates ONLY from a place of EGO drawing on the "truth and impressions" of Personal Experience: perspective is limited and resonance is restricted. They are more isolated and less likely to connect well with others.
When they operate with EGO using truths and impressions from social and personal levels: they may connect a bit more readily with others, but will be generally distrustful and less grounded or resonant individuals.
In operating with the "center" left dormant or otherwise intentionally turned off, all of that light and knowledge becomes less available. It really is like a hole in the whole.
Turning to that center and realizing all that a person really is can be very important and empowering. Operation with all levels of intelligence working together to digest opportunity and convert it into true and trustworthy light and knowledge is honorable and fulfilling. A person is connected to all things as they connect with the center of their being.
Cool, huh?
