scientists and intelligence

4 posts in this topic

Hi everyone, This intelligence has puzzled me for quite long. Intelligence isn't just brain power. However, we definitely need to tap into infinite intelligence to invent new tenologies. So, doesn't it prove that inventors like Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein are more conscious than enlightened people? I agree there are mathematicians who are extremely good at maths but lack the picture of life. I always wonder why that's possible? To be as intelligent as someone like Terence Tao (for example) I'd bet you need to tap into infinite consciousness, so can anyone tell me why smart people can be also unconscious? Is this a mystery? I've practiced meditation for quite long and to be honest, I feel like my entire psyche has been rewired little by little but I still feel there are some limitations the brain and body impose on an individual that we cannot shatter. I cannot become as good at  maths as Terence Tao, for example. So, is intelligence a different area other than consciousness? 
What I have become conscious of:

Reality is not made up of anything called atom. It's a conceptual thing a mind comes up with.

We're bound by our psyche no matter how much we don't want it

We cannot explain anything thoroughly.

Laws of physics make sense only when a chain of events passed and we look back. 

We do not control anything.

Albert Einstein — 'If I could do it all again, I'd be a plumber.'

Nikola Tesla was a great thinker. The thoughts obsessed him, and he was unable to focus on his schoolwork. Professors at the university warned Tesla’s father that the young scholar’s working and sleeping habits were killing him. But rather than finish his studies, Tesla became a gambling addict, lost all his tuition money, dropped out of school and suffered a nervous breakdown. Tesla suffered from OCD. He was obsessed with the number three and polished every dining implement he used to perfection, using 18 napkins.

Every genius is not happy ( this is my projection)

that's why I prefer blissfulness over happiness
