CONSCIOUSNESS AND INTELLIGENCE
1O. "Consciousness and Intelligence" Sunday, September 28, 2014,
There is a very substantial, natal difference between intelligence and consciousness; in that, intelligence is the CREATOR of consciousness, which is an evanescent, immeasurably minute quanta of intelligence.
Consciousness is aware of itself, of its context, and of its CREATOR, intelligence: intuitively, inferentially, cognitively, mathematically.
Intelligence is the ‘animating spirit’ from which consciousness derives, upon which it feeds, works, rests, reproduces; and to which it returns.
Consciousness is active and inquisitive. Intelligence is: vast, passive and inert. Consciousness, however great, is limited and quantifiable.
Intelligence is unlimited and unquantifiable. Consciousness, being active and inquisitive, can be expanded, by seeking ever-greater awareness of itself and of its context, which it wholly seeks forever.
Intelligence, by contrast, is, was, and ever shall be infinitely: ‘past,’ ‘present,’ ‘future:’ Seeking nothing, needing nothing, simply BEING.
