When the subject is specifically raised, ordinary people readily agree that man’s body has its own intelligence, which is quite different from the intelligence men have in their minds. The body can naturally do and be taught to do things which the mind plainly cannot do, regardless of its education, and in contrast the mind can perform activity so different in type, and alien to the body, as to be totally beyond its comprehension. All of this in a calm, deliberate moment all men know, yet in practice in everything they say and write – do they ignore.
Certainly how life wants it, and none can objectively judge harm to the herd resulting, (it merely creates verbal uncertainties, the needed fodder for the minds’ endless disputation. The machinery for all non-material progress, nee change; the matter’s interest to the few lies in their confusing these two separate intelligences in methods they utilize to try to spit the bit out of their mouth, and see around the blinders; to wake up from what the few so unmistakably feel to be some sort of collective mortal dream.
Men’s bodies clearly do not live in a dream, but in a physically experienced, material world, and its intelligence deals directly and un-hesitatingly there with, and when the body does go-to-sleep, it is visibly apparent. But the mind’s entire life is lived outside a material reality. It can touch nothing; pick up and handle nothing; can rap nothing on a table to test its solidity; nothing in its existence is solid. In fact, nothing is naturally present in its world. Everything must be brought in, except, “brought in” is not the accurate term – “made up” is.
All of the mind’s intelligence about matters strictly human it had to invent. Its intelligence does have hard knowledge of hard objects outside itself, but no knowledge of the soft, non-material objects inside itself, (the things it was forced to make up, then pretend to have brought in). After all: what knowledge can you have of something that did not exist until you imagined it in your mind? None, well of course, except for the knowledge that you made it all up, but that is not how the mind’s intelligence works, (thank you!).
If they ever make headway in getting their heads out of the way of man’s collective bridle, those with the innate feel for the mind’s dream-world-intelligence, eventually recognize that the whole matter they oft-label as, “being-asleep,” and their desire to awake there from, exists, occurs entirely in their mind. No mind – no being asleep.
