How Selflessness/nothingness = infinite intelligence?

[Eren Eeager]

What's the connection between the two? Why being nothing makes you infinitely intelligence? 

[Yoshy]

Because to be nothing is to be everything .

Perhaps contemplate the other side of the coin; The ego is infinitely stupid.

There isn’t a separate self, there are self referencing thoughts. Thoughts which go unnoticed, “me”, “my”, “I”, “mine”, etc. This is thought attachment, or attachment to finite thoughts which identify, or, the finite mind. When these thoughts are inspected and seen through, it is nothingness, infinite intelligence, which see’s through. 

The trap at hand is the dualistic nature of the self referential thought attachment, combined with the narrative about said separate self “being nothing” and “being made” infinite intelligence. That is what’s already the very awareness of these un-inspected thoughts. “It” is actually you, and as such “it” is uncovered, by you. This is the greatest joy in all of life. 

TLDR: Without the thoughts to the contrary..... there’s just that which you’re asking about. This is reality, as in pointing to what is actual right now. No one could tell you what “these” are, because it’s you.  If interested, meditation. ?

@Eren Eeager The word "Nothingness" does not refer to what you think it does, hence your confusion.

[Eren Eeager]

@Leo Gura No I understand nothingness quite well actually but maybe I am not getting what infinite intelligence really entails.

[Vibroverse]

Can we say that here and there, and, past and future are dualities?

No you don't. Not even close.
