We tend to think there are brilliant people …and then there are the rest of us. We think that some have a special intelligence that is given only to a few. I don’t. As a believer, I think that we all have a path into the Infinite Mind that is particular to us, particular because we shape it and form it as we will. We all have our own shining part of the Mind, and maybe some of it seems “showier” than others, but make no mistake; if Oneness means anything, it means that Intelligence is not locked away. We simply have to find our own keys to access it.
We "grow" brilliance
I think we “grow” brilliance. We are growing up all the time, and once the body has come to its full stature, the mind in us keeps getting taller and taller all our lives. Mixing it up with ideas insists that we become more than we think we are. We can’t “un-know” what we know, but we can grow past mind sets and mental habits that have held us hostage and chained to small boundaries.
Growing brilliance is contagious
We cannot stop creating and inventing, and, in fact, I believe that growing brilliance is contagious and can be done in groups as well as individually. After all, dying is a little less fearsome today because we know more about living. Baby shoes are fine for toddlers, but sprinters need a whole different set of footwear. And while we’re at it, couldn’t we grow some brilliance intentionally instead of by accident? Couldn’t we become really smart in governing so that we may deal with situations like Syria from a level of essential, over-all well being, not just suspicion and self interest? Couldn’t we wise up enough to know that cooperation goes a lot farther than unabated partisanship? Couldn’t we find enough light to know that we really are all in this thing called life together?
Planetary citizens
We are discovering that we are planetary citizens in ways we had never imagined. Now we have to grow into this status with greater wisdom and understanding.
