No Mastery w/o Intellect · Engage All Your Capacities
⁘ “On the path of life, of transformation, many are the matters to be mastered. It does not happen without your reason. You can't simply vibe your way to the other side. Your intellect is indispensable. It is a tool to be used wisely.”
On this path –
the path of life, of transformation, inner and outer,
many are the matters to be mastered.
It's not an intellectual exercise.
It's not an analytical operation.
These will only lead to constructs in your mind.
Now that said, you can't let your intellect be idle.
You can't simply vibe your way to the other side.
You have to engage all of your capacities.
You have your frameworks of thought.
Philosophical, theological, scientific.
They are there to give you a broader context.
They cannot ever prescribe what is.
They can only ever describe the direction of what is.
But they are helpful in opening your perspectives,
in making your understanding well-rounded.
Your intellect is indispensable.
It is a tool to be used wisely.
