[Music] you due to overwhelming popular demand the beard and the shirt are making a comeback so in this episode we're gonna be talking about what is intelligence and intelligence this is one hell of a mysterious thing if you really think about it I want you to start to think about intelligence at a much deeper level than most people conventionally do we're not going to be talking about your standard cut and dry notion of intelligence here in this episode we're going to talk about some deep and very advanced stuff here think about it you you as an individual you have intelligence whatever your level is doesn't matter whether you have a lot of it or a little of it you have it but what is it and the question I'm interested in here is I'm not interested in what is human intelligence I'm not interested in how to quantify intelligence the way the scientists are for example I'm interested in what is intelligence at the existential level because if you look inside yourself you'll notice that you've got it and you could notice when you're using it and you can feel it functioning within you but then what is that I mean obviously it's there and it seems to be a function and a feature of the universe because hey you are the universe you're a piece of the universe so whatever you have the universe must have by extension but I'm getting a little bit ahead of myself but what I want you to notice by going inside of yourself and noticing your own intelligence at work is that intelligence is actually contrary to what many rationalists believe which is that intelligence is just some sort of cut-and-dry mechanical process of using logic that that's not really what intelligence is at all it's a much more intangible abstract mysterious sort of thing how is it possible that you can behave intelligently how is it possible you can have these intelligent thoughts that's not a dumb brute force mechanical process that's not just some algorithm running in your head it's not just some computer crunching away at some numbers you can look at some situation in life with intelligence what does that really mean what is it what is it really made out of it's hard to pin down just what it is and science gives us a lot of definitions that I could cite to you here there are many scientists from AI research to neuroscience to social psychologists and clinical psychologists and developmental psychologists who've been studying this stuff for for last hundred years and all of their definitions you can go read them on Wikipedia they're really unsatisfying because Sciences approach to this question is very reductionistic they sort of think that if we can just break down intelligence to just some sort of behaviors is a very behaviorist sort of approach to intelligence in fact many definitions that I was reading on Wikipedia that scientists come up with is something like the capacity of a system to basically navigate some sort of puzzle or complex maze that's what they sort of reduce it down to but there's something a little deeper deeper going on than just that but before we get to that I want to take a little tangent a little sad an interesting story that I encountered just for shits and giggles one day I decided to go to 4chan 4chan is a have sort of a toxic online forum or a lot of conspiracy theories and and meet online memes start off and I'm not one to visit these sorts of places regularly and I haven't actually been there maybe only a couple of times in my whole life but I decided to go there because I just wanted to see what kind of crazy nonsense are people talking about unfortunate so I go there I'm looking around just you know it's just sort of like looking at a bad car accident just for curiosity but what interested me is there was a there's a sub forum there called science and mathematics is the /sy forum so I go on that thinking that oh maybe there's some interesting stuff about science here so I started looking at what are they talking about science and one of the that blew my mind is that they're all talking about intelligence almost every post there is about intelligence in one form or another because the people that are there I get the sense that they're sort of like high school kids or early college university kids mostly males by that by the sound of it and they are interested in becoming good scientists and mathematicians so it seems like they got this idea in their head that to be a great scientist or mathematician you need to have very high IQ and so everybody is talking about IQ and is your IQ high enough to become a good scientist and they put graphs and studies and things like that have all this kind of evidence and data to suggest that if your IQ is below 150 you shouldn't even bother going into technical science fields or hard science fields like physical science mathematics computer science engineering these STEM fields they say don't even bother going into it because you're not gonna be able to become a great scientist or an engineer and you're basically not gonna be able to succeed in life because your IQ is too low and then people are writing there and they're asking like oh is my IQ high enough to become a physicist or mathematician or a computer program or something like this and it's hilarious because some of the members are like no your IQ is not high enough and they actually invented this jargony word called brain let brain lent which they use in a sort of demeaning way to say someone who doesn't have a high enough IQ i think i think the way they define it is if your IQ is below 150 then you have no chance and you're a brain late-- and this to me is just very amusing it's both sad and the music at the same time because it just shows you that these otherwise intelligent people and I'm sure there are people there who have IQs above 150 that are posting their responses but these otherwise intelligent people how they have such a narrow-minded perspective on what intelligence is and just how toxic this is from a personal development standpoint they really believe that they're that their ability to succeed in life hinges upon their IQ and they really believe that their ability to make breakthroughs within science is about their ability to pass some sort of silly IQ test it's it's it's really really short sighted and very very limiting and the sad part about it is is that they really don't understand where the creative achievements of the greatest scientists come from they don't come from being able to solve some standardized IQ test they come from true innovation true creativity being able to think outside the box being able to jump between different paradigms this sort of flexibility that's really what you need if you want to be a breakthrough scientist which is something other than IQ people get stuck on this notion of IQ as if IQ is just some sort of feature of the universe no IQ is a is a very limited narrow quantification of this larger thing called intelligence and by the way there are many different ways to measure intelligence and IQ is very much a culturally biased sort of westernized rationalist version of how to measure intelligence you see it's precisely because intelligence is so abstract and mysterious and difficult to pin down that there's no good way to measure it but of course science mechanistic science again here we go with materialism is all about quantifying something and if you can't quantify it well then it's not real but of course the scientist has a problem because the scientist is using his intelligence to actually do his science but at the same time the scientist doesn't have a clue what intelligence really is so of course that's quite embarrassing so we want to do is we want to create some tests and we want to create some simple stupid formulas to reduce doubt what intelligence is into a couple of you know simple numerical scores something like that and then we can use that to judge other people and and yada-yada-yada it it starts to veer off into some mum into some bad and unproductive territories the smartest thing you can do with an IQ test is not to take one you see and there's different kinds of intelligence that you can measure intelligence for example your ability to solve logical puzzles you use intelligence to to test like your creative intelligence your artistic intelligence your can aesthetic intelligence like how intelligent are you with your body which for example might be manifested when you're doing karate or Taekwondo or physical sorts of activities you know a lot of people are good McCann who are good mechanics they are good with their hands that's another kind of intelligence and then of course you have emotional intelligence which is EQ and I'm only scratching the surface of all the different types of intelligences that there really are so you can see intelligence a much broader spectrum of stuff and even if you took all of those into account and you quantified all of those different types that would still not be enough to account for what I'm talking about here as intelligence and what's the common factor between all of those and how come intelligence takes these all these different forms and yet still there's intelligence like how come there's a certain intelligence for solving puzzles like you have to be pretty intelligence to solve a Rubik's Cube that's one kind of intelligence and that's mostly like the kind of stuff that IQ measures and then you have to have a different kind of intelligence like a musical intelligence to be able to compose a good a good song or a good melody or something like that and then you have to have another type of intelligence interpersonal intelligence to be able to be good at politics in large groups to be a good leader that takes another kind of intelligence right so what's the common thread there because we call all these intelligences but they're different kinds is their commonality very interestingly you know they've done studies and you know what they've measured is the greatest predictor of your success in life overall and even in business not IQ EQ your emotional intelligence far far far more important not to mention which also not just that but also if we're talking about your happiness and your well-being in life IQ is it's not what you should be worried about you should be worried about EQ and other things like consciousness awareness and all their topics that I talk about on actualised org and even if you're the type of person says leo I don't even care about my happiness I don't care about intelligence I don't care about relating to people I'm just one of those nerdy scientists and all I care about is just being good at my math or my size or my the artificial intelligences that I'm engineering or something like that that's all I care about and for that I need IQ you're still narrowing it down way too much and ultimately you're not gonna have a good successful life even if you do manage to become a great mathematician or something because you know what it's still very very narrow I have I known mathematicians professional mathematicians and universities who are deeply intelligent as far as mathematics goes but then they're clueless about the larger picture of how mathematics fits into the larger reality being a great scientist means not just being good at your little narrow technical field it means having a very big picture curiosity about the world which is why the most genius scientists they were holistic thinkers people like David Bohm and Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr these were not your typical technical scientists these were true geniuses and if you want to be a genius what you need is you need to understand and you need to be able to tap into true intelligence at the existential level not some stupid human metrics that society and culture has created which will all be just it will all turn into pseudoscience 100 200 years from now and even today you can realize that it's so narrow and that you can go so much further you can become such an incredible scientist or mathematician or engineer if you actually get to the root bottom of what intelligence is and you're really able to tap into true intelligence but enough of that tangent let's talk about what intelligence is not so obviously intelligence is not IQ also intelligence is not logical reason which might be shocking to the rationalists also intelligence is not knowledge of course intelligence is not emergent phenomenon intelligence is not a feature of the brain intelligence is not a human quality and intelligence is not even biological or something that is exclusive to life so then what is intelligence well to really answer this I want to talk to you about how I discovered for myself the essence of intelligence but what I'm going to tell you here is you got to realize this is a very advanced topic this is a topic that I'm going to talk about here that probably may be like one in a hundred thousand human beings on the entire planet maybe one in a million will be able to understand what I'm talking about here and it doesn't matter how high your IQ is because some of this stuff on me talking about is gonna just plain sound crazy so I encourage you to listen for it with a very open mind I'm gonna be talking about intelligence from the non-dual enlightened perspective and even if you studied enlightenment and you've read books about enlightenment and non-duality chances are you haven't heard anybody talking yet about intelligence what intelligence really is I've read dozens of books and I've heard dozens of videos and I haven't really heard anybody talking about intelligence rather surprising to me and that's because man this stuff's it's really really deep to understand the stuff you got to go really deep and to talk about it then makes you sound very crazy so please keep an open mind so here's what happened with me a couple of months ago maybe three months ago four months ago I don't know during one of my psychedelic trips I experienced absolute infinity the ultimate nature of reality that reality is an infinite singularity I've talked to you about that so I'm not gonna go into that too too deeply here I'm not gonna bore you with that we've covered that ground before but what I realized during one of these strips and I had only vaguely remembered now is I realized that this infinite singularity is also intelligent and that was interesting to me I didn't understand what that meant it was just a very vague hunch like why would it be intelligent because when I thought about absolute infinity to me just seems sort of like a brute-force dumb mechanical process like reality just sort of everything gets spawned into being because it's completely unlimited and there's nothing to limit it from the outside so therefore everything has to basically manifest itself in all the ways that it does and that's where you find yourself today right now standing in the middle of absolute infinity okay but why is it intelligent is that like why would that be fundamental and I didn't know it's just sort of a hunch but one of the things that I just sort of made a mental note of for the future is I said I need to ask the next time I'm really tripping deep I need to ask why are you intelligent and I framed it in those words why are you intelligent because I was sort of it's sort of like asking the universe why are you intelligent that's what I wanted to ask now of course the universe or the you here is actually me because I am the universe apps when you're absolutely infinite there's nothing other than you it's completely one's completely non dual so it's not like you're really asking the question to somebody else you're asking the question to yourself of course it's not your little normal ego self it's the universal self you're really asking the question of the universe you are the universe asking the universe why am i intelligent now that's a hell of a question to ask and you might wonder Leo come on I mean is that really a legitimate question how do you know that's even a legitimate question to ask how do you know you can trust the answer if you even get one back and what would it even look like to get an answer back isn't this now bordering on some sort of mystical woowoo spiritual sort of stuff well the truth is I didn't know if this was a legitimate question or not I didn't know where it would take me it was just something that you know I just hadn't kind of a hunch about it so I went with it and then I you know months pass and I forgot about this whole situation I forgot about this question it was just you know deep in the back of my mind and then during my retreat which I recently did the first half of the retreat I did some deep tripping and during one of these trips I stumbled upon infinite intelligence which I hadn't stumbled upon before even though I had had all sorts of different realizations and insides very deep insights about reality but but not infinite intelligence and it took me completely by surprise I didn't go into this trip expecting to ask this question or expecting to get some kind of answer it just sort of blindsided me and this was one of the most shocking mind-fucking realizations that I've ever had in my entire life so I do this trip on five Meo and I'm just blindsided by this profound if fit epiphany that infinite intelligence I sort of go inside of myself I get to the very root of what I am like what am i and why why is it there and how did it get there and I become conscious that I literally designed myself into being using infinite intelligence this infinite intelligence has no form in no shape and yet at the same time it's all powerful and it can literally manifest things into being and so what I remember very vividly and this just completely blew my mind is I was I was sitting there on the floor and I was cognizant this pure formless intellect that of course I realized I was because this was complete non-duality and I looked I looked I I still have I have goosebumps right now on my hand just from thinking about this I looked at my arm this one right here and I saw every single hair on my arm and I became conscious that I literally designed like engineered every single hair that's on my arm every molecule in every hair every little nook and cranny every curve all of them just utterly perfect designed by a master who has infinite knowledge of every thing and infinite power and put them all into place and then the sort of the crown jewel of this of this trip was that of course then I sort of asked the question even further well where did this infinite intelligence come from why is it here and the response was that is it created it's it's so infinitely intelligent that it figured out a way to actually sort of like go back in time and create itself in the perfect most delicious strange loop ever and that that is how everything is here the way that it is and then when you look around the room or you look out the window and you see whatever you see even the most ordinary mundane stuff you become conscious that it's designed with absolute infinite intelligence perfectly it's the most perfect configuration of reality that could possibly be and you are inside of it not only are you inside of it but you yourself did it that's the ultimate mind [ __ ] you did it and then you forgot that you did it and that it was just amazing after that I sat on the floor and in fact this insight this insight was so shocking and jolting that I just kind of sat there awestruck silently just like traumatized honestly traumatized by this insight because you see if I designed myself I'm the only thing in existence there's no one I can turn to for help for assistance if I was I was completely alone it was like I was in the sort of infinite intelligence solipsistic Yuman being that exists so even if I ask somebody hey am I going crazy now is this actually true what what I'm saying here I couldn't really rely on their answer because I designed that person as well it's all just a dream that I engineered and it's absolutely crazy right it's crazy doesn't make any sense from the conventional materialist dualistic paradigm how is it possible that this could be the case sounds like fantasy sounds like just fiction sounds like just a bad trip or some some wonky trip gone wrong right well maybe not I'll let you figure that out for yourself but I'll tell you what I know is that human intelligence is just the tip of the iceberg of cosmic universal intelligence the entire universe is intelligent this intelligence is pure intelligence which means that it's formless it's infinite its omnipresent meaning it's non localized its present in every square millimeter of the entire universe and if there are multiple universes than every universe that could ever be the multiverse everything this intelligence is disembodied and that's what intelligence really is it's not some neurons in your brain it's not some algorithm that's running away it's not some behavioral stuff that you can do some puzzle you can solve it's just pure intelligence but that is why it's so challenging is because it's so abstract that you you don't know how to get a handle on it notice that right now you are intelligent I want you to go inside of yourself do this exercise go inside of yourself and feel your own intelligence on the inside your intelligence is that faculty within you that's allowing you to understand think about what that really is that is not some mechanical process how is it posture so how is it possible that you can actually make sense of these concepts that I'm talking about how is it possible you're actually able to look at reality and make sense of it this is not a simple thing this is extraordinary this is utterly mysterious and miraculous we just take it for granted because hey we sort of bored with it and everybody around us can kind of do it but think about it this is this is an unbelievable gift like it's a miracle that you can do this at all how is it possible how is it possible that some bouncing balls if you are a materialist and you believe that reality just atoms atoms and quarks bouncing around just energy random energy nothing nothing special about it how is it possible that random balls bouncing around inside of a box can lead to you then understanding having a deep understanding of some facet of reality even for you to be thinking of reality and holding it as a as a box with bouncing balls in it that's a that's already an active intelligence for you to come up with that now of course the materialists they have all their excuses and justifications and stories for how this works you know yeah ad leo to random mutations over time evolution bla bla bla millions and billions of years and then the other stuff it's not so mysterious that you can have intelligence but what is intelligence how do you get intelligence from from just balls bouncing around in a box how does that produce intelligence consider that your paradigm is wrong consider that intelligence is fundamental to reality and is not an emergent property that comes about billions of years later after much evolution notice that intelligence working inside you whatever you're noticing there that's a little tiny tiny tiny tiny sliver of cosmic intelligence you're looking at just the tip of the iceberg and that intelligence really it's not yours and if you look closely within yourself your intelligence is not yours you're not doing intelligence intelligence is doing you if you are an intelligent person you have a high IQ you love to take credit for your intelligence as though you're doing it you're this genius who can solve this puzzle but really no it's a gift that you've been given and of course you can also cultivate this gift it's not static you can definitely be much more intelligent than you used to be and one of those ways to be hyper intelligent is to be able to tap into infinite intelligence because if you think that intelligence is just the thing that's inside of a human brain the little tip of the iceberg then that's all you'll ever have in life is just that that's what most people have most scientists use only that little tip whereas if you develop methods for tapping into infinite intelligence like what I'm talking about here you see that it's this much much much larger thing and then you're able to tap into it and from it you're able to pull ideas creative ideas which are so brilliant that you could never dare to take credit for them yourself because you see that it's not your little ego who's doing it even these words that I'm telling you right now are being deciphered by your by your mind instantly for you you're not doing it your ego is not responsible for it but of course intelligent people tend to be very arrogant because they didn't assume that intelligence is something that they have and that only they have and that only human beings have and that nobody else in the universe has it and certainly it could never be a feature of the universe as a whole maybe some aliens on some other planet have it if they're also as evolved as as we are but but otherwise no Leo no intelligence can't just be floating around in the universe that sounds like nonsense well it might sound like nonsense but that is the case and you can become conscious of that what do I mean precisely by infinite intelligence that's difficult to to pin down it's infinite and it's all powerful and what I mean by all-powerful is that actually it is the source and cause of all of creation existence now you might wonder how is that possible because power you would think that's like a physical thing but intelligence that's like sort of a soft fuzzy intellectual mental thing so how can the intellect actually be powerful after all Leo it's not like I can I can move a rock with my intellect I need a bulldozer to move a big rock or to bulldoze down a big mountain or something I need a bulldozer I can't do with my intellect well consider that maybe you can't do it with your intellect because you only have this little bit of intellect that you have access to as a human being and that actually if you had access to infinite intelligence you could be so intelligent that you can actually create anything you want out of scratch because you're so intelligent just think about that for a moment imagine that you're so intelligent I'm not talking about incidents he'll just metaphorically I'm talking about literally you're literally you have an infinite degree of intelligence so your intelligence times infinity that's what I'm talking about you are so intelligent that you can actually figure out a way to manifest things out of pure emptiness without any physical mechanical means and that you could even figure out a way to go back in time and create yourself to break all physical laws and all logical laws because in fact you invented all the physical and logical laws they're not really physical you've thought them up using infinite intelligence and then of course you put yourself in the simulation so that now you're limited by them or at least it appears as though you are when you're a human being I want you to really comprehend the significance of what I mean by infinite intelligence I want you to imagine that you you designed and engineered architected every single hair on your head and you architected all the lengths of every hair all the orientations the rotations the positions the coordinates everything all the molecules and proteins that go into it you personally individually assembled every single protein you've folded every protein perfectly out of all the subatomic particles that make it up all the molecules all the amino acids you fold it all perfectly you thought up of how all the proteins need to be so that the hair is protruding in that particular way has a particularly orientation so there's a particular function on your head to protect you from wind but water the the Sun whatever else because your hair has a purpose there's nothing on your body that doesn't have a purpose you designed all your nails you designed the skin every cell of your skin you actually in fact are designing right now every single cell all the trillions of cells every single cell is intelligently designed every process in the cell all the molecules moving through the DNA replicating doing all that stuff all of that you engineered every single piece of that so that it perfectly fits with the environment that you're in so that you can survive in this environment so you can hunt and you can have sex and you can you can be social and political so that you you can lie to people when you need to so you can be sneaky because that is necessary for your survival and so that you can do all the stuff that human beings can do and you put yourself in this particular time on this particular plan of course you design the entire planet all the ecosystems all the millions of different species that exist you is design them all so they fit together perfectly in harmony so the planet can coexist the way that it does all of it fits together of course you have to design the rest of the solar system and the universe all the physical laws and a logical law so that all fits together you designed all the neurons every single neuron inside your head so that it fires perfectly so that each one of those produces some particular effect that makes you move your arm grab something or speak something or have some original idea all of that and you're doing it right now but you're not aware of it that's what I mean by infinite intelligence imagine that you designed Albert Einstein you designed his whole body all the cells in it all the hair everything you designed his entire life you designed it Albert Einstein his life perfectly so he would be born at precisely the right time so that he would have the discoveries that he had you you designed all the neurons and everything there so that he can go he can learn the stuff he needs to learn in that particular air that he was in so that he can come up with his theories so that his theories could contribute to the larger scientific knowledge of mankind and those could be used to build technology knowledge so you you perfectly engineered all this but you didn't just engineer it there locally for Albert Einstein you and you you engineered this from the very beginning before the Big Bang you see you you had such infinite intelligence that you could see like imagine the perfect chess playing ai you know a chess playing AI needs to be able to see thousands hundreds of thousands millions of moves into the future in order to play a good game of chess so imagine if you had an AI that was actually Intel in finit in its intelligence it could see an infinite number of moves ahead so that's what you did you plan every single facet of everything together so that it would work in this harmonious intelligent manner and so here you are and you find yourself right now inside of this intelligence and of course the the kicker at all that is of course that you would also be intelligent enough to know that you don't let the human being have access to all this the human being is not God the human being is just a little a little creation a little version of God and that's what you are here that's why you can think and that's why your thoughts have creative abilities as a human being now of course your your thoughts as a human being they have very limited creative abilities so can you just spawn a new planet into into existence no because you don't know how because you're not even close to infinite intelligence as a human being very very limited is your intelligence but I want you to imagine that even intelligence can literally spawn a planet into existence if it wants to in fact you can spawn the entire universe into existence and that's what it did and it no limits to it whatsoever so what I'm saying that it's all powerful the power and the intelligence they're both infinite and they go hand-in-hand it's precisely all-powerful because it's so intelligent that there are no limits to its intelligence and no limits to its power it's so powerful that I can it can even go back in time and design itself so I want you to picture an image of an engineer who is actually engineering his own body in this sort of assure style where the hand is drawing itself tada that's how you got here that's what all of this is why do you think it works so beautifully have you ever wondered by the way why reality works so beautifully a lot of rational and scientific people overlook this and they just dismiss it and say oh well it's just kind of random through evolution it would have happened this way but also there's another category of a thinker philosopher even scientist who actually does appreciate the design of this whole thing like it's incredibly well designed it works how does it work on so many levels it works from the subatomic particle level all the way up to the molecular level to the cellular level to the basic biological level then to the ecological level to the social level to the political level like every single level to the cosmic level the whole thing works and it works without a single flaw you know reality doesn't have a bug in it doesn't have any glitches how is this possible you've ever thought about this I mean it's it's remarkable when you really think about it the problem is that most people take it totally for granted and they just sort of assume that well I mean how else could it be it's amazing I want you to start to to really appreciate what we're talking about here now the objection is but leo how can intelligence have power powers physical not intellectual well first of all notice that in our world power is shifting more and more towards the intellectual as we become more advanced have you noticed this people who are good at manual labour they are some of the worst paid people on the planet who are the highest paid people it's actually the people who sit at the very top who utilize their intellect in order to arrange an architect and engineer structures blueprints hierarchies organizations it's the CEOs it's the the brilliant people like Nikola Tesla the innovators the inventors people like Albert Einstein the theoreticians notice that our society is giving more and more value to these people because they can generate more value because what's more valuable than just being able to push a rock with a bulldozer is actually the organization of stuff that's going on if you really want to create something the creation of it is really in the organization of it not the physical building blocks which are not nearly as important and of course you gotta understand that those physical building blocks which are taking for granted they also need to be perfectly organized so that they can become good and effective building blocks imagine if I just gave you a piece of paper and I said hey here design a universe from scratch beginning from let's say quantum particles designed from scratch that it works perfectly could you do it could the best quantum scientists are quantum physicists that currently exist do it no no not even close like not even remotely close there wouldn't even be a theory of how to go about doing this you see humans are mostly what we're doing is we're just imitating mother nature we're just sort of like copying little pieces here and there we're trying to decipher and we it takes us hundreds of years just two or thousands even of years just to decipher some some of nature like we look at an insect wing and we spend hundreds of years studying how it works just to just to imitate it and even then all our imitations are very poor imitations have you noticed this scientists still with all our modern technology they still can't create a mosquito a mechanical mosquito can't do it not even close yet now of course in the future we'll definitely be able to do it but what is it that's gonna enable us to do that knowledge understanding or actually really it's the source of the knowledge its intelligence so in a sense if you're really interested in technology and science really what you should be interested in is intelligence at large not narrow versions of intelligence not knowledge but this existential infinite intelligence is what I'm telling you about because that's the source of all this stuff so how is it that intelligence can be powerful well if you stop thinking of the universe as a mechanical clockwork or just a dumb box with dumb particles bouncing around and you start to think of the universe as a giant mind which I've talked about in the past then you see that if all there is is a giant mind which is consciousness and it's manifesting everything then intelligence can be a feature of that mind and in fact it's the one of the most important features that's how creation gets made in this marvellous order and beautiful intelligent way that it is intelligence really is reality's capacity to manifest itself intelligently now of course you'll say Leo that's a circular definition you just defined intelligence using the word intelligence that's precisely right that's not a mistake because intelligence is irreducible and so you're not going to get a satisfactory definition through words words here are gonna start to lose traction as we keep talking I'm gonna be using words but don't take my words too literally they're really pointers to actual infinite intelligence actual into intelligence it's formless there's nothing really you can say about it it's just [ __ ] intelligent as [ __ ] you can think of intelligence as creativity the capacity for novelty and you can think of intelligence rather than give it as something that the brain does think of it as the order that creation exhibits being everything you see is being being gets created in an intelligent manner and that's really what intelligence is and then if you think about well what are thoughts how come my mind and brain are intelligent well your thoughts are also being everything is being your thoughts are being your thoughts are being manifested right now every single thought you're not creating your thoughts the universe is creating your thoughts you don't know what your next thought is going to be I don't even know what my next thought is gonna be and I'm sitting here and I'm talking about some rather intelligent sounding stuff if you want to give me the benefit of the doubt if you don't want to if you're not gonna say I'm crazy so my thoughts right now are getting manifested by infinite intelligence so being is getting manifested in an intelligent manner and that's what gives rise to intelligent human heads to put it crudely because being is all there is being orders itself intelligently intelligence really isn't separate from being it's an aspect of being and you can see that by really becoming attuned to just the intelligence you see on a leaf you can take a leaf off a tree and look at just how intelligently designed that leaf is now I know you have a lot of objections as a materialist about evolution I'm gonna talk about evolution in a minute don't go get your panties in a twist we will address the evolution question so what I'm saying here is that even inanimate objects are intelligent a rock a mountain a river a Sun it's all intelligent not in the sense that a river can think or a rock can think that's not what I mean that's the old paradigm thrown out of your mind intelligence is not something that object possesses intelligence is a field like the field of gravity look you have no problem accepting that the field of gravity is invisible right it's invisible it's abstract and yet here it is it acts obviously it acts and it does what it does but scientists still haven't really determined what what gravity is or how it really works nobody really knows but we just know it's there and it's a field and we know it's non localized it's everywhere so now start to think of intelligence exactly in that same way now the mistake would be to think that oh that means that rocks can think no rocks can't think in that in that way that you're thinking now of course you might have an objection you might say Oh Leo what about the all the dumb stuff that happens in the world how do you account for that well that's the kicker is you see that even the so-called dumb stuff the stupidity that you see on YouTube let's say human stupidity and you might say oh man but if if if the universe has infinite algae's how come humans are so stupid most of them at least well you have to understand that even the universe is designed with such infinite intelligence that even the dumbness that exists is intelligent those people are behaving in dumb ways precisely because that's what Nessa is necessary to sustain the harmony of the entire universe you see those are consequences of the design the problem is is that you with a little human being your mind is so limited your intellect is so limited that you can't see a trillion moves ahead the way that infinite intelligence can you are sort of like a bad chess a I program who can only see five moves ahead and so to you it seems like oh my opponent made a really dumb move he's sacrificing his queen and I'm just gonna steal his queen oh he's such a dumbass but what you can't see is that your opponent is actually infinitely intelligent it can see 50 moves into the future that you can't see so it knows that it's gonna sacrifice its Queen here but in the end it's gonna checkmate you that's the problem the problem with rational people is that they're intelligent but their intelligence is is is it's high enough that they become arrogant they think that they figured out all of reality but it's not intelligent enough to see a hundred of thousand moves ahead to see how all the other stuff fits in perfectly into this holistic harmonious picture because if you really saw that man that would utterly blow your mind that would be the realization of a lifetime to really understand how ingeniously infinitely intelligent existence is so in a sense what I'm saying here is that consciousness can think matter into being but you have to take this word think rather loosely because consciousness doesn't think in the sort of manner that you're used to and this word matter of course you'll take it very loosely words are starting to break down here now let's address this evolution question because you're probably thinking Leo so are you a creationist now is that what you are you become a creationist as that's where all this all these psychedelics and all this enlightenment stuff and all this wound stuff has taken you now you're into intelligent design because that's what you're talking about right what about evolution we have all this evidence for evolution are you contradicting all that I'm not contradicting it first you have to make a distinction between intelligent design versus creationism the sort of creationism that you see very popular among many fundamentalist Christians and there's no doubt that there are many sneaky found Christians who will use science to sort of attack itself they will cherry-pick evidence from within the scientific community and use it against the scientific community and try to undermine evolution in order to advance ideas of intelligent design and to advance their their biblical notions and they quote from the Bible so that's not what I'm talking about here I would call that creationism so distinguish that from intelligent design so is the universe intelligently designed absolutely beyond shadowed out and you can prove that to yourself by becoming conscious of the intelligence directly and that's possible that's not a belief that's not something you have to take on faith but now the question of and by the way before I go on to evolution I should mention that the creationists are wrong all right the creationists are self-deluded so the creationists are doing is they're reacting against some of the developments within science which they feel is encroaching upon their territory the biblical theological territory it's encroaching upon their notions of God that justifiably scares them because they don't want to lose notions of God and and all this and they also have intuitions about intelligent design because they can they can see and they can Intuit the intelligence but they don't really know how to explain it very well and they don't have any direct experience of it they haven't become definitely conscious of it they take it on as a dogma so they're defending that dogma they're wrong they're making many epistemic mistakes so you as the rationalist and scientifically minded person that you are of course you're right to criticize them when they do that sort of stuff but make a distinction that's not what I'm doing here that's not the place that I'm arguing from in fact I sort of have an an axe to grind against against Christians because you know quite frankly most Christians are very very diluted in their understanding of reality and they're very dogmatic so that's not what I'm talking about I'm not a Christian I don't believe in Christianity and I don't subscribe to Christianity I don't really read much Christianity although there's some valuable stuff and certain Christian writings but only if it's interpreted at a very high level very metaphorically very very abstractly which most people do not know how to do because Christianity is extremely corrupt Christianity has basically been seized by the devil and been turned into an egoic falsehood perpetuation machine the same way that Islam has for the most part so that's that now about evolution so what about evolution well evolution of course exists at least from our limited human perspective because you see what science is all about science is about causal explanations and of course every object and the entire universe every object in the entire universe and the entire universe has itself is infinitely caused so this is a problem for science because science is trying to understand cause and effect but every object has an infinite number of causes and effects you understand this most scientists don't understand this take any object take a take a little stone that you find lying on like a pebble lying on the sidewalk that pebble become conscious that that pebble has an infinite number of causes there's an infinite chain of causation that led to that pebble laying there on the on the on the sidewalk stretching back all the way to the Big Bang and everything before the Big Bang there's an infinite chain and there's an infinite chain that comes after the pebble which the pebble is a part of and also this chain is not linear in one dimensional but it's actually infinitely dimensional so that pebble its causes are not just coming from one direction like somebody placed you might think well the pebble is there because some some guy was walking around with a with a leaf blower and he blew the pebble and now it's laying there on the on the sidewalk yes that might be true but that's just one factor out of an infinite number of other factors that are there at the same time all acting upon it because see yes the guy with the leaf blower was blowing on it blew the pebble but at the same time there was also wind there was the Sun there was gravity from the from another planet from Jupiter all of it was acting to place that pebble exactly where it's lying there's an infinite number of causes in every instance in every microsecond there's an infinite number of causes every every atom in the known universe is acting upon that pebble right this second to cause it to sit precisely where it's sitting so that's an infant number of causes just in this in this moment of time but then there's an infant number of causes of course stretching all the way back so you see we have this not a one-dimensional line of causation but it's just like a volume an infinite dimensional volume of causation just for that one little pebble so yeah it's complicated you see that's the problem is that science is trying to just unravel something that's so much bigger than itself that it's always it's always it's always losing side at the bigger picture so so evolution of course in that sense in a linear sort of sense yes it exists in that of course dinosaurs evolved into birds and stuff and then mammals evolved into monkeys and monkeys to humans yeah we have evidence for it's all good it works we've proven evolution within well even within dog species within cat species selective breeding that's that's evidence of evolution right there very obviously also is very easy to demonstrate evolution within fruit flies and within viruses and bacteria quite easy to do they've done it lots of times so the evidence revolution is indisputable but we have to understand is that evolution what drives evolution evolution is a process that itself is intelligently designed and I'm actually going to have a whole episode a very important episode called probably what is evolution where we're going to talk about evolution and what it really is it's not what they teach you it is it is not happening through random mutation the mutations are highly intelligent highly intelligent if evolution was truly happening to random mutation you would have you have nothing you'd have crap it would just be noise you actually cannot create something significant and marvelous and highly functional without intelligent but that's a topic for another time I have a lot to say about that topic but this episode is already running long and I don't have I wish I could go into it I want to go into it believe me I know you're interested in in understanding what the true nature revolution is but for now you just have to trust me that evolution is happening through intelligence and actually if you go to science the latest science on evolution is starting to show you like science with an epigenetics and so forth it's starting to show that it's not random there's a deep intelligence at work and as more evidence is collected over the next hundred years this notion of random mutation is gonna be completely blown out of the water and it's gonna go alongside some of the other silly ideas that are confined to the dustbin of science history so what I'm saying here is that infinite intelligence it doesn't contradict evolution in fact really all that evolution is evolution is not confined to DNA by the way everything is evolving all the time evolution is simply the infinite causal chain that is all of reality so really what infinite intelligence does so if you think about what evolution is it's or like if we're playing a chess game every move on the chest game every piece that's moved one step or one move that is like sort of one increment of evolution let's say hey let's say it's equivalent to one second in the whole evolutionary timespan of the last four billion years on this planet it's just one move that another move another move another movement right each one is a second one time increment and what infinite intelligence is is it is that played through from the beginning to end all instantaneously at once because this infinite intelligence not bound by time it has no limits on it whatsoever so it can think through every possible move so imagine a chess game with an infinite number of chess pieces and an infinite number of squares in an infinite number of dimensions and this infinite intelligence is playing all the moves simultaneously at once in fact it knows every single game that could be played ever on this chess board and so it just instantly knows everything and also it is the the source of all the chess pieces the board every single move it's all happening virtually inside of this mind it's mind blowing stuff but then when you as a human look at it because you are so time bound you're only living this little corner of the universe on this little rock floating around in space orbiting around the Sun and you only live for like what a hundred years so all you can see is you can see a few of the moves on this chess board and to you it looks linear because it's like well the night moved here the Queen moved here the King moved here the Bishop of here the pawn move here all you can see is just a few moves and maybe all you see is a hundred moves in your lifetime well you don't realize is that it's an infinite it's an infinite game played in infinite dimensions with independent pieces so we'll talk about that later about evolution and I'm excited about that episode as well and I'll have some some actual evidence and some some really really all present some technical arguments for for my claims about evolution I'm not just gonna tell you that I experienced it on some psychedelic trip I'm actually gonna cite some scientific evidence for you and I'm gonna present some some more tangible arguments for those of you who are sort of hard-nosed like that and like that kind of stuff yeah so continuing on I want to introduce a new vocab word for you and ask the Greek word ancient Greek word called Mouse n Oh us it rhymes with Mouse it's a little difficult to pronounce now what does this word mean from Wikipedia here's this definition quote sometimes it's equated to intellect or intelligence it's a term for the Faculty of the human mind which is necessary for understanding what is true or real and quote so that's a concept that goes back to the early early Greek philosophers very early Aristotle Plato Socrates and even before Socrates in fact as I was doing research for this episode here I wanted to go back and I'm thinking of myself man somebody in the past some great sage or philosopher must have stumbled upon this infinite intelligence idea that I stumbled upon independently for myself here I didn't read this in any book when I'm talking about this this really like I'm saying it really blindsided me I wasn't expecting it at all and the second thing that that I wasn't expecting that I wasn't expecting to find a perfect explanation of what I'm explaining here from a Greek philosopher over two and a half thousand years ago but that's exactly what I found in Wikipedia so here we go I'm gonna present to quote to you from anaxagoras whose dates are 510 to 428 BC two and a half thousand years ago basically he was a pre-socratic philosopher that means before Socrates so he was one of the earliest earliest Western thinkers now listen to what he says about nouse and about intelligence cuz this guy had it figured out look at this quote all other things partake in a portion of everything while nouse is infinite and self ruled and is mixed with nothing but is alone itself by itself for if it were not by itself but were mixed with anything else it would partake in all things if it were mixed with any four it is the fittest of all things and the purest and it has all knowledge about everything and the greatest strength and nouse has power over all things both greater and smaller that have soul and quote so that's everything I've been telling you in a nutshell and this guy got it he wasn't just doing idle philosophy he in order to write what he wrote here he had to actually experience the true essence of pure intelligence or nouse and as he says here it's infinite it's self ruled it's formless because at the same time it's not mixed with anything which means it's separate from everything but also it's infusing everything so it's a field in the same way that gravity is a field gravity you might say is similar to what he's describing because in a sense it's not mixed with any gravity is separate from everything but at the other on the other hand gravity is acting upon everything and notice what he says about how strong it is it has the greatest strength it's the thinnest and the purest of all things which is what I'm describing so you can't really articulate it very well and it's all powerful another gem that I found on Wikipedia is I was researching this is the following one quote the more strictly Aristotelian Muslims in particularly Aven pace that's a difficult one to pronounce av eros avi eros I'm not sure how to pronounce it per se they were both by the way just as an aside they were both Islamic Muslim philosophers in the sort of Golden Age of Islam probably a thousand years ago or so and so anyways they wrote about how one could conjoin oneself with the active intellect thus attaining philosophical nirvana end quote that word active intellect is very important because that's an a word from Aristotle because Aristotle also wrote about the nouse and he made various distinctions between the active intellect and other kinds of intellect and the psyche and so forth it gets rather technical and complicated but but what they're saying here is that it's possible to conjoin oneself with the active intellect which is what I'm calling infant intelligence thus attaining philosophical nirvana that's exactly what it is that's exactly what I experienced philosophical Nirvana meta physical orgasm because you become the infant intelligence and using this internet intelligence of course you that's what you use to understand everything so people sometimes wonder well Leo but what about enlightenment maybe enlighten is just an illusion how do you know maybe it's just a belief system maybe you're just hallucinating after all how is it possible to know these things a human being can't know these things that's right a human being cannot know these things but what you're assuming is that you're a human being drop that assumption and and then become conscious of infant intelligence realize you are infant intelligence and then use that infant intelligence to understand the structure of the entire universe sounds impossible sounds crazy right sounds crazy sounds like some some wishful thinking but then again people have done it anaxagoras did it I did it I can even tell you which tools you can use to do it use some 5mu no DMT it'll it'll help you get there maybe not in the first time on the first try maybe I'll need a few tries but yeah it's accessible and you don't need to do psychedelics to get there you can get there through yoga meditation other stuff of course this sits very deep so you might need to do 1020 years of yoga to get there I don't know depends depends on how talented you are depends on how how dedicated you are help it minded you are there many factors here but I think very few people have accessed this sort of stuff so which is why it's not written about very often so I've talked about you might wonder why isn't everybody talking about this well how the [ __ ] are you supposed to explain this to people you really expected that someone's gonna go on CNN or on on on ABC or some some YouTube channel that shoots five-minute videos about stupid stuff and they're gonna explain this to you in a convincing way no not even close not even close we're talking about extremely advanced stuff hell I myself wouldn't have believed this just a few years ago maybe even a few ago I wouldn't have believed so we're talking about cosmic mouse cosmic intelligence here now you might wonder Leah what's the difference being intelligence and consciousness because I shot an episode recently just last week about what is consciousness and there it seemed it might seem like I've been talking about similar stuff there as I am here well there's differences so yes intelligence is formless and omnipresent just the way that consciousness is and really they're the same thing they're not separate what I'm talking about here is a facet an aspect maybe that would be through an aspect of consciousness so of course everything is still consciousness I'm not saying there's two substances now I'm not saying there's consciousness and then there's intelligence no consciousness one of the aspects of consciousness is that it's intelligent it's infinitely intelligent but see it's important to make this distinction because it's possible to become conscious of consciousness but not become conscious yet of the intelligence the infinite intelligence of consciousness that's an additional wrinkle that you may or may not cognize or realize when you grasp what consciousness is see so it's tricky that's why I say there's sort of different levels of it different degrees of realization because and the reason I say that is very practical 'end to me is that I was I did realize what consciousness was before I realized what infant intelligence is so for me the first was consciousness I realized that and I realized that in various ways many times and there were many deaths to it and then when I got deep enough there then this sort of other dimension of conscious up enough this other facet opened up to me and I was able to explore that and man there's a huge difference from a personal perspective I mean ultimately they're one but there's a huge difference because this is like one huge mindfuck here and then like a second huge mine [ __ ] there and they're both radical deepmind [ __ ] alright let's answer some fa Q's and objections so first question Billy o rocks are not intelligent the way that I am isn't this silly you're claiming that rocks are intelligent look again be careful here just like with the what is consciousness episode you have to be careful not to get your paradigm backwards a rock I'm not saying a rock has a mind and it can think stop thinking of intelligence as one's ability to think or even brain power that's not what it tells us is if you think intelligence is brain power or IQ or your ability to think obviously a rock doesn't have that ability but when I say it's intelligent what I'm saying is that the being of the rock is imbued and permeated with intelligence in the same way we say that gravity is acting upon the rock even if the rock is just laying there and doing nothing gravity is still acting upon it again this is hard for the materialists to understand because his paradigm is backwards he has a faulty definition of what intelligence is and so he's he's running that definition he's getting the wrong results when he applies that definition to rocks it makes it look absurd so of course he has to deny what I'm saying here what I'm saying it's not absurd if you change your paradigm and you look at reality as a giant mind and this giant mind can create dumb objects they only appear dumb to us as human beings because we care about thinking and you know a rock is not gonna come up with a with Einstein's theory or general activity for you can't think it can't solve a rubik's cube a rock can't do that but then again that's you imposing your standards on the rock the intelligence of the rock is that it's supposed to lay there and be a rock it's not supposed to get up and sing and do a dance for you a jig to amuse you that's not the function of arak the rock was designed with input intelligence to be a rock and to behave like a rock and so in a sense the rock was too designed to be humble not arrogant like yourself and that's exactly what the rock needed to be because ultimately in the big big big big big big big big big big picture you need dumb objects in order for smart human beings to be able to clothe and shelter themselves and survive and live and have a solid earth to stand upon you need rocks so in a sense your human intelligence is dependent upon the rock intelligence it's the order of the whole system is what we're calling intelligence you know I once heard Sadhguru you know Sadhguru this YouTube yogi I once heard Sadhguru talking about how there's there's some more he said something along lines like there's more intelligence in a flower than there is and in your head or something like that I'm just paraphrasing I don't know if that's exactly what he said along those lines and I remember I was listening to this a few years ago and I'm like dude what the [ __ ] are you talking about there's no intelligence in a flower now I understand what he meant it made no sense to me because my definition of intelligence was that intelligence is something that happens inside the head but then I realized no that's wrong where did that definition come from I just assumed I took that definition for granted the only reason I think that intelligence happens in the head is because I'm very [ __ ] selfish and I'm looking at the whole world from my little personal point of view so to me all that exists is myself and my little ego and so from that point of view I'm the most intelligent thing that there is and of course that's utter arrogance and other stupidity - in retrospect but but nonetheless that's how a rationalist think it's a deep arrogance they can't see outside themselves they can't see the larger thing that they're a part of because they're they're not holistic thinkers they're left brain thinkers left brain thinking is by definition not holistic its linear its analytical it's fragmentary it fragments and breaks reality part to pieces and really it's it's a tool of the ego and if you want you have suddenly you need to tap into your right intuitive holistic brain so Sadhguru is exactly right there is there there is in a sense more intelligence in a flower then there isn't inside your test your IQ test scores if you have a 200 IQ or whatever you think you have that's impressive while the flower is way more impressive when you really look at a flower how much intelligence there isn't a single flower a single leaf in a single rocket in anything like that Bollea what about if ants aren't intelligent like me look at an ant spend a few hours on a Sunday afternoon looking at an ants running around doing its thing look at how much intelligence there is in a single [ __ ] ant it will austrack you if you really do it if you really look at an ant see what's there our most fancy supercomputers all the computing power of Google and Microsoft and Facebook combined and all the human intelligence that goes with it could not create an ant that functions like an ant couldn't do it I don't just mean mechanically I mean the whole shebang from the very beginning from the ground up all the way to the top like designing the ant designing the ants psychology designing the ants sociology designing the system such that all of the molecules are moving perfectly you design the molecules from very beginning so that all that can build up to create this ant all the cells all the DNA all that is happening of course all the biological functions of the ant of course we can't do any of that but even if you could that would still be only scratching the tip of the iceberg because you also need to think about the psychology of the ant how the ant relates to all the other ants how the ant moves the software that's governing the ant the intelligence that's inside the ant it's not mechanical software it's intelligent how the ant is building its ant colony underground and architecting the ant is using intelligence to build structures underground to reproduce I mean it's it's it's it's it's just utterly astounding the intelligence that goes into an ant but then of course not just that you also need to have the intelligence to think of how this ant colony is gonna fit in with the environment that it's in with the ecosystem with the rain with the Sun with the radiation coming from this from the Sun with tornadoes and hurricanes and the vegetation all that is growing and with animals that are moving around and eaters who are gonna come and attack these ants and eat them if if they're not smart they don't have defenses against that other ant colonies they have to fight with spiders and insects and all this and all up the up the chain the entire ecological thing the entire earth which can sustain these ants all of that has to be thought through it doesn't happen by accident hello it's extraordinary intelligence it's just not the kind of intelligence that you're used to it's not the human form of intelligence so it's really a proper to think of intelligence it's like ants are dumber than birds birds are smarter than than than cockroaches and and and then and then dogs are smarter than birds and then chimps are smarter than dogs and humans are smarter than everybody else that's the wrong way to think about it intelligence is everywhere and there's no like gradations to it nobody is really smarter than anybody else it's just different different all of it is is the perfect cog that fits into the cosmic mind machine that needs to function it's a holistic thing another objection might be below how can dumb matter an empty space be intelligent that sounds stupid of course it sounds stupid because you're just assuming that matter and space are dumb why are you assuming that they're dumb was that proven has science proved the stupidity of of matter and space no in fact you couldn't prove that if you wanted to doesn't make sense to prove it again intelligence is the order with which this stuff is arranging itself spontaneously and by the way don't get it wrong I'm not I'm not saying that there's a bearded man in the clouds who is the engineer behind this all the bearded man in the clouds is actually formless it's there's nothing there in fact what you see inside of yourself if you turn your gaze in words you find emptiness there that is the infinite intelligence we're talking about it's right here it's right before your eyes it's not some fantastical land that you fly away to during a trip to experience intelligence it's right here right now it's speaking to you I'm speaking to you using infinite intelligence hello you're using infant intelligence to understand me hello do you get it next question leo how can intelligence exist without a body it needs a body only if you assume it does why do you assume intelligence needs a body did science prove that to you no that was just a metaphysical assumption you started off with so what I'm suggesting you drop that assumption and you consider the possibility that maybe intelligence doesn't need a body why would it after all if the universe is an infinite mind it has no body body is something that sinks into existence reality is something that sinks into existence and intelligence is a property of omnipresent consciousness another question but Leo if I have infinite intelligence why can't I just materialize a million dollars for myself of course that's exactly the ego wants as it wants to it wants to harness the infinite intelligence in order to wage wars build better nuclear weapons and materialize millions of dollars well maybe there's more to the world than all that all that materialistic nonsense here's what you got to understand is that first of all you're deeply unconscious and probably unawakened so your connection to infant intelligence is miniscule you have infinite intelligence running through you but it's very like channeled very very constricted which is why you make mistakes you do dumb stuff all that and still even with all that there's infinite intelligence and all the dumb stuff that you do it's there for a reason it's not an accident all the dumb stuff you do and all the mistakes you make but the reason you can't just materialize a million dollars is because well look actually there's two ways think about this first of all in a sense you can you can actually use your intellect to come up with an invention Pat that invention and then sell that patent which might be very used maybe you invent some new medicine or something or some new power generation machine and you can do that and you can earn millions of dollars through the use of your intelligence you can do that people have been doing that for for centuries and people are doing it right now there are many intelligent people who are using their intellect their connection to intelligence to manifest millions of dollars in their life and they're enjoying it and you can become a part of that Club and in fact the more you tap into infant intelligence the more that will be possible but of course that's not the question you really ask what you really want is you want pure magic you want to be able to just like think a million dollars into existing right here right now why can't you do that well because you're come you're bound you see you're bound by physical laws logical laws and in all this sort of stuff because you're inside this matrix like simulation so you're part of the simulation right now and your intelligence eat if you do become very very awoken your intelligence you're still going to be human human intelligence still limited it's not even 1% of infinite intelligence so whereas infant intelligence could materialize things because it's that [ __ ] intelligent you are not that intelligent you do not have the intelligence to circumvent the physical laws if you did you could but you don't maybe one day maybe in a million years humans will get to that point maybe some super advanced artificial intelligence system that we construct will at some point be able to do that stuff and that could be freaky you think artificial intelligence is is dangerous now under the materialist paradigm because it can it can somehow hack a nuclear Network and launch nuclear weapons think about what can happen if the artificial intelligence is so intelligent it's so tapped into infant intelligence that it can actually materialize nuclear weapons out of thin air think about that now you see how dangerous it can really be but also you have to understand that with infinite intelligence when you access it if intelligence you're all you're also accessing infinite consciousness and infinite consciousness also comes with flavors and infinite love and so when you're becoming very conscious you are becoming less and less selfish you're not going to access infant intelligence if you're very very selfish so miself protecting mechanism because because if you could if you could be very selfish and evil and access infant intelligence you could do a lot of damage and the reason you you can't is because you actually have to be selfless to access it and once you're selfless then you're probably not going to want to destroy billions of people with nuclear weapons although who knows you know maybe actually at a higher level of intelligence you will see that mankind is a cancer upon the entire planet and if we're not gonna get our [ __ ] together then maybe what what needs to happen is that we need an8 we're gonna accidentally create this AI which is gonna then destroy us clean up and create a blank slate and then the AIS will rule the world and maybe that's exactly what infant intelligence you yourself have designed from the very very beginning you don't know because you don't have access to all that because your intelligence is very far from infinite so I want you to start to notice very practically that every part of reality exhibits extraordinary intelligence this is like an exercise for you I want you to walk around for the next week and notice the intelligence and everything notice the intelligence in your shower it when you're brushing your teeth the design of your toothbrush the computer you're using the stuff you see on the sidewalk when you're walking down even the bad stuff the evil stuff you see stupid people on television you see Donald Trump whatever doing stupid stuff like they do every week notice the intelligence behind it the deeper larger bigger picture intelligence start to see that that requires you start to develop a certain kind of eye for the universe's infant intelligence you might say Oh believe but my toothbrush that was designed by a human being see the bigger picture yes a human being designed your toothbrush but who designed the human being where the human being come from where'd evolution come from where the logical laws come from where the universal laws come from weren't the quarks in the atoms where did all that come from it's all part of the whole design don't be so narrow-minded stop fragmenting little pieces that human being who designed your toothbrush how did he come about there needed to be a mother and a father to need to fall in love what's the logic and the infant intelligence that goes into human romance all the complexity their human romance who designed that look how it works it works well enough that we're able to create billions of human beings who are able to make toothbrushes and computers and Facebook and Google and all the sorts of stuff that you take completely for granted and how did that person design in your toothbrush come up with the idea for this great toothbrush design it wasn't because of his little ego he tapped into infinite intelligence some human being at some point had to invent a [ __ ] toothbrush that was a gigantic deal that was like Einstein coming up with the general theory of relativity it's not obvious at all that you can brush your [ __ ] teeth with a brush matter of plastic and rubber and this and that and all these little bristles at these for angles someone had to come up with all that [ __ ] doesn't happen by itself that's deeply intelligent stuff that's the universe doing it it's not humans doing it it's the universe Wow human doing something is the universe doing something but of course the universe is much more than just humans anything that a human can do is by definition something that the universe can do understand this because humans are the you part of the universe you're not separate from the universe every thought you think is the universe doing that stuff when you get horny that's the universe getting horny when you get thirsty that's the universe getting thirsty when you have a brilliant idea that's the universe getting a brilliant idea using you as the substrate see cuz infinite intelligence doesn't have any physical form so if it wants to become tain't tangible if it wants to actualize if it wants to take all of its sort of brilliant ideas they're not even ideas because ideas still have form if they want but if it wants to manifest itself it needs to do so what we would call physically through some sort of form otherwise it's just infinitely intelligent sort of all to itself and then you don't know about it so I want you to to look around for the next week and start to notice the artistry it's like looking at beautiful painting you know if you take a stupid person speaking English if you take a dumb person and you show him some beautiful painter by painting by a by a master by Picasso or something like that he's not gonna be able to see the beauty in it to him it's you know he's just gonna say oh I could do that myself of course no you can't - see the artistry the beauty of it you need to develop an eye you can actually take art history classes and develop this I it's very fascinating how it develops you start off with no eye but then you develop an eye you make fine distinctions you can start to see the beauty and the genius of of painting and art and of course not just in art you can do this sculpture you can do this with architecture you can do this with music you can do this with literature movies anything but I want you to do it with physical reality start to see it the prob is if you look to logically at the world if you're always analyzing it breaking it down like a left brained autistic person which many scientists sort of are then you miss the bigger picture you miss the artistry the intelligence is not in the the fragmentation but it's in the hole its how the whole tell all the fragments fit together so perfectly that you see the artistry of it I want you to start to notice that I want you to walk down the street and start to notice even the ugly stuff you see a empty coke cans some garbage lying on the side of the street and you might say oh look at that some animal he drew that down there how dare he not care for the environment Nadia yada yada but think about the infinite intelligence of that coke can lying there on the sidewalk think about the intelligence that went into producing that can all the economic systems that led to it getting created and purchased and and and all the gravity that's holding that can down and how that can fits into the larger ecosystem how somebody some human being is gonna actually collect that can like some homeless person's gonna walk by pick up that can that can to that homeless person's worth five cents for recycling is gonna take it to a recycling center he's gonna recycle it get his five cents he's gonna use that five cents to feed himself that night and not not starve and then and then that that recycled cans gonna go to some recycling center so others human being invented the recycling center it's gonna recycle this can use that can the metal in that can to produce some some you know some recycled aluminum thing maybe for an airplane or for a car some aluminum part and think of how that is like the circle of life at work so this thing that you think is beautiful that personally your little ego doesn't like because it's ugly Oh toucan but think about how it all fits [ __ ] together where did the can come from the materials from the can came from the cosmos from early stars that exploded think the intelligence have to go into creating those stars so that then they would explode at the right time all those dust particles of atoms they would all have to congeal together into some other star that would have to explode heavier elements from carbon to to oxygen to to this to aluminum illumise pretty heavy element that then comes to earth all congeals together billions of years of evolution then humankind has to develop machinery and metal forging and aluminum and and then construct these cans some guy had to come up with a with a recipe for coca-cola which people love to drink such that there are billions of people on the whole planet drinking this stuff such that this guy purchased this can so you can throw it on the sidewalk see the intelligence of that that's not an accident you guys like to play video games I assume because most you're pretty young so maybe you can resonate with this seeing intelligence in the world at large in the universe is like admiring the design of a great video game you know the games these games that come out once every couple of years maybe once every 10 years once a decade some brilliant masterpiece game comes out it's a 10 out of 10 it's perfect it's got it's so brilliantly designed it all works so smoothly it's fun it's amazing it's got amazing graphics right you know this you just like you get that game from the game store you pop it into your PlayStation or your xbox or something and you're playing it and for that first hour you're just blown away at all cuz you've played so many games so you know all the shitty games but this game is like it's a work of genius it's it's the intelligence what you're admiring is the intelligence the intelligence of the art of the design of the program all of it coming together seamlessly perfectly to make the whole so as you become a connoisseur of gaming or of movies or of writing or of art or anything else you start to think like a game designer for example you're walking through this space in this world and you're seeing it for the first time but as you develop the sort of game designers eyes you sort of said oh yeah look that do I know that designer put this thing there this tree this tree prevents me from turning left when I should have turned right or vice-versa and then oh look they placed that treasure right over there so I can see it and they clearly marked it so it's obvious to me so I don't get confused I don't get lost you see how all of it connects and if the interface and the graphics and this and it's all been telegraphed and somebody invented that some team of dozens of designers and hundreds of artists and programmers invented that that's a little microcosm of how the entire universe works these people because I was a game designer for a short while and in early in my career and so I'm speaking from experience here and this is this how game designers think they start to analyze these games and that they see and they're drawn to this why do people become game designers actually it's because being a game designer allows you to play God that's a huge appeal you get to create your own universes think them into existence and then materialize them that's a very rewarding process you're acting like a god and actually you are you're participating in God's work now you might say only oh but these are just designers these are just designers human of course human being skin has no not of course don't take this for granted in full it's actually happening is that infinite intelligence is working through these designers inspiring these artists designers programmers to come together to work really hard they crunch for hundreds of hours hundreds of man years they work on these games to put them all together test them make sure it all works perfectly how are they doing that not through their little egos if it's a great game it's not done through ego egos produce shitty games the best games are produced by tapping into infant intelligence and of course not just games all works of art that's what you are fundamentally as an artist is you are playing God that's why it's so rewarding because you are God playing God but of course you don't realize that most artists own and of course you're limited as an artist and that's why it's so difficult because for artists those genius artists that can tap into infinite intelligence they have so much creative potential that they can see and they can envision these are visionaries but the challenge is how do you materialize it that's the real challenge for the artist the ideal would be to be able to not even have to pick up a paintbrush and just think of painting into existence without even clicking a mouse that's still too indirect that would be the essence the epitome the ultimate level that an artist can aspire to and of course that's exactly what God does that's exactly what absolute infinity can do because it's infinitely intelligent but you are not you're limited so see what's happening is that see God God is a bit of a lazy lazy guy so what he does is he doesn't create everything himself he he delegates he delegates a lot of his work to human beings so God to experience what it's like to actually play God what God will do cuz God is formless is it will it will incarnate itself into a human form then that human form will get inspired to what it sees around it because see it's hard forgot to get inspired because God knows everything so you you have limited knowledge you get inspired by stuff and then you want to imitate you want to imitate nature you're inspired by it and then you go and you dedicate your whole life building these technical skills to do it and then you become good and you get you get the satisfaction of creation but what that's actually happening is that God is using infinite intelligence channeling it through you such that you are now God's paintbrush the human body is literally God's paintbrush to create this [ __ ] whether it's games music societies inventions engineering computer programming or self-actualization videos that's all this is this is a puppet I'm a puppet here you see I'm a puppet doing this work start to see that start to see that the design of a videogame is not accidental and the design of the reality within which the video game is happening is also not accidental and this does not contradict evolution because notice videogames are designed but they also evolve notice how video games have evolved over the last 30 years it's incredible it's incredible the evolution that video games have undergone think about par think about pac-man think about the first mario world think about the 10 of 64 think about the PlayStation 3 the PlayStation 4 thinking about virtual reality about all the graphics all the design evolutions the evolution of the user interfaces all of that had to evolve it built upon itself and it was also designed both are happening simultaneously not just in video games everywhere there is no distinctions and limitations it's happening everywhere evolution is happening everywhere it's not happening within DNA it's happening everywhere everything is evolving so in conclusion uh I don't want you to just believe me yes it sounds all good and nice and fun and interesting and philosophical and maybe even I have convinced you of some stuff here but that's all beside the point this is not something to believe this is not something to take on as a Dogma I'm just presenting you with a possibility the possibility that you can discover some amazing stuff about the nature of reality which you never imagined was possible to discover and then you can run with it if you're a scientist if you're a mathematician you can use what I'm talking about you can leverage it you can find techniques for tapping into infant intelligence such that then you can create you can become a better God a better mini God to create whatever mathematical theorems you want whatever engineering inventions all this you can get such a huge practical competitive advantage over all of your colleagues in your field that these IQ tests and all this nonsense is just gonna be ridiculous while all your colleagues are talking about IQ tests and bitching and moaning about how their IQs and high enough you can develop a connection with infinite intelligence such that you can become the next Einstein the next Picasso the next Steven Spielberg or George Lucas or whatever artist you admire whatever engineer whatever human being you admire so what I'm talking about is not just philosophy or interesting abstract metaphysics that you can become conscious of but it's also very practical we're talking about the essence the existential essence of creativity in case you haven't realized so in conclusion you can become directly conscious of infinite intelligence and you can also develop ways to tap into it practically more then you've ever imagined possible and you can have such incredible creative ideas that it'll completely blow your mind you'll have more creative ideas then you will have the capacity to actualize how to do that I'll talk about in in future episodes how to develop a connection with infant intelligence but for now I want you to just to focus on becoming conscious of infinite intelligence first you got to start with that then we'll talk about how to cultivate a connection so first I want you to start to contemplate what is intelligence think about that question I want you to become very curious and open-minded about it drop your dogmas and your scientific models and paradigms whatever you thought forget about that and just be curious notice inside yourself like yeah look I'm thinking in and I'm being intelligent myself how is that happening it's very mysterious I can't put my finger on it so that's where it starts that's where the questioning starts then start to question the materialist paradigm to death which I've helped you do through many episodes already then start to take seriously the possibility that intelligence is fundamental and not just an emergent high-level phenomena fundamental at the very base before molecules existed there was infinite intelligence before time and space existed there was infinite intelligence before the Big Bang there was infinite intelligence start to take that possibility seriously whatever obstacles you have or judgments against that drop them and then of course you can use meditation you can use yoga but for this one I highly recommend psychedelics do some deep trips and when you're tripping before you trip set the intention set the intention ask the question what is intelligence and you can even frame it as you asking the universe why are you intelligent tell me why you're intelligent and see what comes up you might be in for a rude awakening and I really that you you get to the bottom of it one day so that you can experience the joy and horror that I experienced and stumbling upon if an intelligence all right that's it I'm done here this was a long one whoo-ahh please click the like button for me come check out my website actualized org right there I've got the blog where I'm posting stuff all the time the forum the book lists life purpose scores those can help you out the life purpose course is gonna be very important if you want to really connect with infinite intelligence because you know to make an effective connection with infant intelligence yes you have to develop yourself metaphysically and spiritually but also you need to develop technical skills and you need to develop a mastery and something you need to have a sense of direction of what you're going to accomplish in life and for that you need a sense of purpose you need to identify your values so that's what the course is about and also I updated the book list just recently last week so go check out all the new books that I've added I've added about 17 new books a lot of them about consciousness metaphysics epistemology yoga I've added some books about yoga yeah check them out the books that I keep adding to my list now are the more advanced sort of metaphysically type of books they're deeper than your normal self help books I try not to add the kind of self-help books that everybody knows about I try to find the really interesting rare type of stuff where ultimately the stuff I want to add to my book list in the future is like I want to add books like you read this book and this is the [ __ ] life-changing book this whole book will change your whole life if you read it and then you read it again and again and again and you keep following up on it now not all the books on my book list are like that I have over 200 books there but uh but a lot of them are there's at least 50 or a hundred I would say five star rated books that I put up there which are which are like life-changing like this stuff will completely change all your paradigms and all everything thought was possible and so I recommend you go check that out and stick with me with actualizado worried because hey we still got a lot of deep topics to talk about the evolution topic is gonna be very interesting I'm really excited to work on that one but it's going to take some work to to put the information together to organize it and then we're gonna have we're gonna have other topics like that one talk about what is language we're gonna talk about what is science and man I feel like just now I'm starting to get comfortable enough in my body and my ability to speak that we can really address some of these very very deep topics in a you know in a way that's going to make sense to you in a way that's going to be fun and relatable so stick around for all that you
