Two Kinds of Intelligences

All intelligence is light whether from the outside or inside. It's helpful, however, to distinguish between different sources of intelligence unless we ignore and neglect one or both of them. For many it's tempting to plug the 'fountain' of intelligence flowing from within us because it doesn't seem to align with what's streaming from the outside either because of deception or because it effects our 'ranking.' If, however, that which flows through the 'conduits of plumbing-learning' isn't spiritualised from within, what flows out of us will be robotic and controlled. Some people, however, become so reliant upon only the 'fountain' inside them that they lose touch with reality. What is inside them remains inside. Nothing can materialise. It's important to recognise both sources of knowledge and how they interact with each other. The striving is in having the courage to let the 'fountain' flow while facing what streams through the 'conduits of plumbing-learning' with humility. This is wisdom.
