Hi
 

I will now share my take on a capable intellect. This goes hand in hand with Heart. Therefore, first post is important to imbibe. 1: strong and capable heart

Intellect is admired as the state of mind- close to intelligence.
So, intellect is often understood as someone's smartness with knowledge, their problem-solving endurance and their ability to achieve things- in the context of goals (external requirement defined by who?). While this is valuable - it is often an obstacle to discovering truth. This is the kind of intellect is that which the world has made most of us into. So, most of us are trained as manufactured intellect which is merely the response of thought, shaped by past experience and memory. We live fragmented existence in the name of our professions or our identity as a response to intellect. This is a great way to accumulate knowledge and satisfy the ego.  Ergo, necessary but ultimately highly-limited tool for a full life. 

A capable intellect- is one that is subtler. It is internal. And it converges to the emptiness, meaningless-ness - to the void. 

Capable Intellect involves moving toward the truth, which is not bound by convention, tradition, or opinion but is an intrinsic understanding of life that is discovered beyond the mind’s habitual thought patterns. It exists in isolation.

Thus, it is immediate and acute where it undoubtedly unites with a capable heart. It is open- therefore-  in full flow with forgiveness, sincerity, kindness, simplicity and truth. It is spontaneous, free from constraints of the intellect and it's imposed manipulated thoughts.

So upon what is a thing, a pursuit, a journey founded if it is not founded on the path of truth? What is an intellect if it is not capable?

If one does not have the truth- what does one have?

How can a human being thrive without truth? Without simplicity?
