Isn\u2019t it interesting how we often speak of the body as if it has a mind of its own? You hear phrases like \u201cThe body knows,\u201d or \u201cListen to your body,\u201d or \u201cYour body is telling you something.\u201d We also get visceral directives and gut feelings. All of this is to say that intelligence is everywhere and that the environment is every bit as important as your brain. The mind is communicating with you, but the so-called external world is also communicating with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your body is a kind of intimate habitat. In a way, it\u2019s separate from you, but inextricably the same as you. It\u2019s hard to understand separation. At one level, there is no separation, at another, having a body, a mind, and personality is what allows you to perceive separateness. But that separateness is not real. It\u2019s temporary, and things that are temporary aren\u2019t real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since all things are one, why wouldn\u2019t intelligence link them all? Where in the universe is intelligence not<\/em> found? In the macrocosm, the planets and space act according to physical law. In the microcosm, molecules \u201cknow\u201d their own kind. Cells \u201cknow\u201d how to repair and replicate. Atoms \u201cknow\u201d how to behave. All of these things know their place, how to function, and how to remain distinguishable from other things. Science speaks of the \u201cbehavior\u201d of matter, particles, gravity, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How do these things know how to behave? It\u2019s because there is some degree of intelligence in all things, living and non. Even space knows how to behave and function. You show me one place in the universe where intelligence and order cannot be found! Your body is intelligent. Your environment is intelligent. Others are intelligent. It\u2019s all communicating with you. What is it telling you? There is much more to be discerned than just the chattering in the mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Friday, December 29, 2023 Isn\u2019t it interesting how we often speak of the body as if it has a mind of its own?
