Intelligence is the inherent capacity to perceive the essential - the reality of infinite being. To directly perceive that one is the whole, the undifferentiated consciousness, is the utmost form of intelligence - for the whole is everything that ever existed and everything that may or may not come into existence.

Illusion of ego
Everything of our world revolves around sensory perceptions which gives rise to the activity of mind. Anything else is mere speculation, something reserved for the mystics. Nothing of ethereal nature, such as a permanent state of clear consciousness, has any use for us living in this world. You may know about your own true nature - but this knowledge remains circumscribed by the walls of concepts if it is not directly integrated into a dynamic self-sustaining state of being.
Embracing the totality
In order to embrace the totality of being, one must be ready for one thing - one must be ready to surrender one's hold on that sense of false identity which is the mind. The later must be completely put aside, along with all expectations, desires, and fears. One must remain completely detached from all personal experiences and preconceived ideas. One must withdraw from all memory so as to be in a state of direct affiliation with what is real - the totality of life. One must be ready to move ahead with a naked openness, a state of total receptivity to the blessing of self-realization.
State of being
Self-realization is not an end in itself, it cannot be adequately conceptualized. Therefore, it cannot be pursued, nor fathomed by mere intellect. It is a spontaneous act of the present and an innocent experience of the immediacy of being. It is a state of consciousness which is whole and undifferentiated, the actualized awareness of the infinite source of all that exists... which lies right at our feet.
Within the mind
At the very moment a thought occurs, the brain's first reaction is to allow that thought to capture its attention, and with this movement of attention, awareness is drawn externally, giving the world of form a sense of reality. At that very moment the mind's vibrational frequency is diminished and consciousness shifts to the gross material dimension of ego.
Living in the world
To know the world, one has to know oneself, for the world out there does not exist independently of one's own mind. The world we live in is the world we have created by our choices and actions. The division we see out there between people is the division that lies within ourselves, a division that can only exist in a mind that ignores its real identity - a division that reflects the mind's limitations imposed over the reality of true being.
Here and Now
Liberation is here and now; it does not exist in the past or future. If it did, it would be relative to the mind. True liberation is beyond all personal history; its beauty lies in the fact that it is impersonal. It is the inherent quality of the Eternal Being. This realization, which forms the only genuine reality and the only permanency in our lives, is of the greatest simplicity and immediacy. Through it, we are allowed to become our true selves.
Manifestation
The thought-form in itself is not essentially a deluded mode of perception. It may not exclusively serve the development of ego consciousness, as it is not necessarily something that obscures the reality of infinite being. Conscious work with the thought-form process could contribute to a more conscious life. This practice may serve to manifest positive situations and enhance creative expression. It may also accelerate the unfoldment of our role on this earthly plane, help us do the work we’re here to do.
To meet
One may only be able to communicate from a place of silence. A place of authenticity where the Self is recognized as being at the center of one’s being. When two people can connect from that place of space and detachment, the consciousness is found to be one. A genuine communion happens naturally when one’s consciousness emanates the sound of the universe as a whole. Then the communion becomes a soft melody, a celebration of the immaculate beauty, the unconditional love that embraces everything regardless of shape, color, gender and space.
