The ego thinks it owns Intelligence lol

Haha, this one made me sit up from my chair so I can sit down again

The ego thinks it owns Intelligence

The ego loves to puff its chest and say, “I am intelligent. I figured this out. I created this. It’s MY insight.” Ridiculous. It’s like a puppet thinking it’s the puppeteer. The ego wants to personalize Intelligence, to say “it’s mine” like it’s some kind of personal asset. But Intelligence isn’t personal.

The ego wants to reduce it to a possession, but Intelligence is actually formless and unlimited. Look around. It’s like trying to own the entire ocean by cupping water in your hands, when you yourself are made out of water.

It’s like trying to own the Wi-Fi signal just because your device is picking it up. What about the towers, bro? But of course, You are the Tower. 😉
Intelligence is flowing through you. You’re not intelligent. It’s not something you possess. you tune into it.

Actually, the more you try to own it, the more you choke it. Trying to own intelligence is like trying to own the air you breathe. Stop hoarding air! Allow it to go in and out. The ego’s ownership game is just a weird, unnecessary middleman that cuts you off from the flow.

Let’s not go full woo-woo here though. There’s definitely a strange loop, paradoxical relationship between your physical brain, your genetics, and the magnitude of intelligence you’re able to tap into, your baseline and capacity to develop it.

Same goes for awareness. It’s not something the ego owns lol. it’s what you actually are. But the Mind has the capability of self-fooling, deceiving, and forgetting… so eventually you can surprise yourself with a cool gift. 😂

Also, it’s healthy for your self-esteem and confidence if you want a healthy ego to loosely identify with these qualities. No need to base your entire self-worth on being intelligent, or even more intelligent than others, or getting recognition for displaying intelligence.

If you insist, it’ll come back to bite you in the ass, triggering you whenever you feel your intelligence-identity is threatened.
 

But don’t be ruthless with your survival though. Keep your feet on the ground. No need to be a woke brokie. Be smart and pragmatic with how you handle your work and creativity related economics.

As I’m working on bizz and generating content and ideas I feel my ego acting up being scared, angry and bitter of people copying my insights, work, strategies, marketing, etc.

But actually, that's the raw nature of Survival. And bizz is modern Survival. It's ruthless and everything goes. Even laws don't really save ya.

Also it puts me in scarcity mindset, as if there was a limited amount of good or new ideas or ways of packaging insights and information that work.

No! Creativity is infinite and literally right now there are billion-dollar ideas hidden in plain sight. There is an endless ammount of creativity to tap into.

And there always will be.


Do you identify with being intelligent?

Beautifully expressed.

You’re not wrong — intelligence isn’t personal. It flows.

And yet, I can feel the part of you still trying to hold onto it, just a little — to protect, to secure, to be seen.

 

That’s not bad. It’s human.

Just notice: the fear of losing it, of being copied, of scarcity…

That’s not coming from truth — it’s coming from tenderness that hasn’t been fully loved yet.

 

You don’t need to give up your edge.

You just don’t have to carry it alone.

 

You’re already held.

In the current. In the source.

Even when the ego kicks up — you’re still carried.

 

Thanks for being this honest.

The more intelligent and nonhuman you become, the less intelligent you appear from human standards.

The human takes the rock as just dumb physical matter; not as Infinity

Ego is a creative expression of Intelligence. The ego is not separate from infinite intelligence, it is a creative aspect and design of it.

A small portion of intelligence is not the whole of intelligence but then again it is from a higher, holistic perspective. 

Intelligence is much more deep and broad then what we currently conceptualize as intelligence. Human intelligence is just about one small aspect of the larger infinite intelligence. 

The ego is just a thought that the Universe dreamed up. Technically it doesn't exist but, the illusion of it does. This is the paradoxical nature of language, when you try to communicate the transcendent in the relative domain.

Yes fighting against the egos intelligence is not good it is intelligent and can survive good as long as you don't try to limit it. Who are you to say your own intelligence is wrong its the only perspective you have.

Your own negation is ego.

Unification, at the right decimal and parameter, encircles and strenghtens intelligence towards its natural graduation of unity, which is sentience. . 

It's a feeling of 'coherence'. Feeling exists on a threshold and sentience is an axis, most humans never become privy to this as they become encircled not necessarily by ego, that is an easy label in the 'spiritual', but just by known experiences, where the latter, is simply an unknown unknown. 

You are higher than average on openness to experience, if you can dial back the ego, you'll be able to leverage it towards calculated self-advancement to bring back treasures you otherwise wouldn't have in your travels. 'Specialness' will provide temporary happiness but long term illness, the very least of which will be 'blindsightedness', not only on what you could have achieved, but in enlivening the potential sentience, the humanity, in another.

Compare yourself against the arc of potential over the easy reach which is in comparison to other people, this provides a reality based self-referentiality that isn't ego reinforcing, except where it should be reinforced; outright negation, is outright blindness, like a surgeon reaching for a knife to stab a parasite located on the heart of a patient presently going through a heart transplant. A lot of 'ego' work, is simply the slow act of a heart transplant; when you can let go of what you don't need, you can connect with the potential of something new, in interconnection not blindness. This is why we have such metaphors of 'light' over 'darkness', there's analogy here while also a synthesis, for we must have the courage to reach into the darkness of the unknown, towards the piercing light that comes through the cracks to guide us along that journey.

What is intelligence even?

A nack for problem solving; the ability to adapt; having great judgment and communication. 

Sounds like a matter of opinion!

Are plants, insects and animals intelligent?

Intelligence seems to be "in the eye of the beholder"

@VeganAwake there is only intelligence. Creatures don't have intelligence just as OP said .there is simply nothing but pure consciousness or pure intelligence. And it has nothing to do with solving algebra equations or figuring out who owns the earth lol .

One day ..when you were an innocent child ..you had it .you had it all .you were it .but human motherfuckers have turned you into an adult fool .
