What is higher intelligence?

[Pernani]

"Higher intelligence", "insight", "infinite intelligence", I keep hearing these words but what do they really mean ? What makes them any different than thinking or regular knowledge? Is there some purity aspect to them that distincts them from ordinary thoughts and knowledge? Where does it come from and how do I tap into it ? 

I know I'm asking too much but I'm just confused, and I would appreciate it if someone can suggest me a good book that presents a deep understanding of this topic

Infinite Intelligence = God = You 

It is usually spoken in theme involving manifestation through prayers and affirmation or connecting to it and experiencing truth a.k.a enlightenment in self help.

@Outer why not? there is a lot of research that say you can like deep work and deliberate pratice which is research on expertise that says that you can improve backed up by evidence 

i am not 100% sure what the other two means but insight should mean the same or similar as an aha moment something you really get for example if you learn something new for example in math and you suddenly get it then you have an insight

I'm not speaking about IQ, and yeah I heard you can increase that too but not sure

Higher intelligence is when you get sudden insight about something and usually you dont follow it i heared(didnt reseach much) that you ask for something and then you leave it and in few hours you get that answer out of nowhere thats higher intelligence at work..

This is nonsense.

@Pernani This is a deep and subtle topic. I plan to shoot a video in the future explaining what intelligence is.

In the meantime, try deeply contemplating: What is intelligence?

Keep pondering that.

Thank you for the replies guys!

Awesome! Looking forward to the video ?

@Outer You just mistook the map for the territory. 

IQ is a measurement of an IQ test, not intelligence.

And what IQ tests measure is only a part of intelligence.

@Pernani All relative abstract concepts. Their meaning is dependent on the life history and genetics of the speaker.

Ten people from different backgrounds will have ten different understandings of “higher intelligence”.
