" To be unintelligent is not a problem as a preliminary,
but to stay like this is really regrettable ".


Intelligence is a specific quality of consciousness. Stupidity is a major characteristic of our mind.

When an ego sees himself as intelligent because he is “cultured” and takes advantage from certain intellectual abilities, then he becomes stupid. This is the reason why stupidity is so common among most educated people.

A computer, although powerful and performing, cannot become intelligent. It is the same for the mind. It believes it is intelligent but nothing of the sort. This quality is exclusively inherent in our consciousness. Mind is only one potential relay. It can echo intelligence or not but it does not have the faculty to produce it.

To become intelligent, you have to reveal yourself to you.

It is useless to study the multiplicity of the facets which make our ego, because our personality is by nature imperceptible. It is conditioned by our social and cultural environment, and fluctuates according to our experience, sensorial perceptions and age.

To learn how to know oneself is to discover the immutable dimension of our being.
By observation and introspection, one stands backs from his ego, and develops his intuition. This latter is the vector our consciousness uses to communicate with our mind.

We feel what is right, which must or must not be done.
These perceptions do not depend on any reasoning. They are not analytical but purely intuitive. It is the breath of our consciousness that an attentive and receptive mind perceives.

It is like a murmur, a whisper, a resonance which will gradually diffuse then densify in our whole being.

It is an act of Love. For this reason it must be accepted, even better, be desired. Our consciousness can in no way force us to listen to it, to like it.
Love is not a rape, it is a gift. And we give only to those who ask for it openly. Thus it is necessary to start by requesting our consciousness, and prepare the favorable conditions to its advent. To its coming.

Our consciousness only asks to love and guide us. We have to cease protecting ourselves, wrapping ourselves in our prejudices and beliefs, but rather welcome it as The one who comes. As Christ or Buddha.

In this way, we allow intelligence within us - our consciousness - to illuminate our thoughts and our deeds.

The first act of intelligence consists in living in harmony with our environment, the second is to let shine our love.
