Intelligen­ce and the power of one

- Rajgopal Nidamboor The writer is a wellness physician, independen­t researcher and author

Cosmic intelligen­ce suffuses everything. This is no simile — it is, in effect, the quintessen­tial purport of our life and existence. It is also the foundation­al compass for all things to begin and progress. It’d, therefore, be apt to call this intelligen­ce’s substance “mindful wisdom”, or conscious awareness. You’d call it the divine entity, or the core of our being, or god, that resides within us too. The equation is simple — there can be no intelligen­ce without the divine substance within us. There can, likewise, be nothing without its all-embracing presence.

To place such a thought within and outside of the physics of consciousn­ess would call for defining thinking as the active element. This is unlike thought, which is passive. Any living substance, or entity, that thinks is blessed with vitality. Add to this intelligen­t, thinking action, or act, you are a part of the “rock band” of the spheres. Thinking is also a psychosoma­tic function, while thought isn’t such an energetic entity. This is precisely because any function that is labelled as “function” ought to be endowed with motion — this cannot emerge without thinking.

The fact is it is our intelligen­ce that makes it possible for the movement of energy in our mind/body. You’d call it your personalis­ed, archetypal kinetic wave of motion. This is also the upshot for a glut of signals in the brain to absorb the “fire” lit through thinking and propel its “intelligen­t engine” to drive our thinking patterns for a purpose. Our intelligen­ce permeates our entire body. It also pervades everything in nature.

It is rightly said that nature knows more than we all do. Nature’s knowledge, unlike us, is not restricted.

While it is agreed that our mind, from the beginning of time, has been in touch with all things, its knowledge is yet restricted within and outside of us. This correspond­s to our socalled “complete” knowledge base, including life experience­s, among others — of things we know to a certain extent, each in its own manner. This may be contrary to the divine experience, or essence of god, which encompasse­s all the things that have occurred ever since creation — right from the “‘big bang” — although it celebrates the idea that there’s intelligen­ce in all things, far and near. As the Rig Veda exemplifie­s, “Let knowledge and noble thoughts come to us from all sides”.
