VisionLogic – A Higher Consciousness

Intelligence, Intellect, and Wisdom: A Fusion of Insight

Intelligence, intellect, and wisdom are three related yet distinct concepts
that are all important for reaching higher levels of understanding and
consciousness. Let’s explore what each one means and how they can come
together.

Intelligence refers to one’s capacity for logic, abstract thought,
understanding, self-awareness, reasoning, learning, and problem-solving. It is
the ability to acquire knowledge and skills & apply them in novel
situations. Intelligence has a strong biological and genetic component and
manifests in varying degrees among individuals. It can be measured through IQ
tests, academic performance, and career achievement. The source of intelligence
lies in both nature and nurture – our innate cognitive abilities and how they
are developed through education and life experiences.

Intellect is the power of rational thought and acquiring intellectual
knowledge through study and contemplation. It refers to the cultivation of the
mind, especially in academic and philosophical pursuits. Intellect reflects
knowledge, expertise, and complex thought in specific domains like science,
language, and technology. It develops through active learning, reading, inner
debate, and critical thinking. Intellect analyzes ideas, makes deductions,
forms arguments, and solves abstract problems using reason. It is a step beyond
raw intelligence into higher-order cognition and understanding.

Wisdom is more profound and broader than intelligence or intellect. It is the
ability to discern truth and exercise sound judgment. Wisdom reflects deep
understanding, empathy, far-sightedness, and practicality drawn from life
experiences. It enables prudent decision-making, gives perspective on complex
issues, and allows one to weigh different viewpoints. Wisdom develops with age,
self-reflection, and learning from mistakes. It represents a higher level of
maturity, insight, equanimity, and balance. The source of wisdom lies in an
open and curious mind that has grasped life’s subtleties through active
engagement.

When intelligence, intellect, and wisdom come together in a person, we see
exceptional insight, nuanced thinking, and conscious living. There is deep
knowledge tempered by practical understanding. Such individuals have an
expanded awareness of themselves, others, and the world. They display
creativity, curiosity, empathy, and purpose. Developing and fusing
intelligence, intellect, and wisdom makes reaching higher states of

human potential and consciousness possible. The complete person lives intelligently,
thinks deeply, and acts wisely.

In summary, intelligence is a cognitive skill, intellect is rational thought, 
and wisdom is deep understanding. Although distinct, they build on each other
synergistically to create inquisitive, thoughtful, and
discerning. Minds. Their fusion enables us to reach the peak of human consciousness
and understanding.

I look forward to the insights gained from our upcoming e-books, workbooks, books, and other Human Potential products from the IntelleWisdom Publishing arm of VisionLo.c, LLC..

Persuasion Theory – The Belief Hierarchy Theory by Maral Cavner

While all of the theories included within persuasion theory are interesting to me, especially in their novelty, the belief hierarchy theory was the one that resonated with me the most and also the one that seemed like the most realistic theory in terms of achieving its stated outcome. For example, I have a hard time believing that the silver bullet theory, which from my understanding is the theory that you can send such a well constructed message that will convince (kill) as much (or as many) as you need it to, is actually a realistic possibility for a single constructed message. I say this primarily because of the wide variety of opinions and the accompanying variability of conditions that each individual person could possibly require in order to be convinced of anything subjective. In contrast, the belief hierarchy theory, which…

The Story Of The Bamboo

Servant Of All

Message in a Bottle

giant-bamboo-644x320

In the east there was a master gardener who loved to walk through his garden every evening looking at the many plants he had taken care of.  Of all the plants in the garden, none was greater, or nobler as the mighty Bamboo.  Indeed, Bamboo was the very best in the entire garden and the Master of the garden was very pleased with Bamboo.

One evening, as the Master strolled through his garden, he stopped and spoke to the mighty Bamboo.

“Bamboo,” he said.  “I will use you.”

Bamboo stood tall and without hesitation replied, “Master, I am yours.  I have waited my whole life for this.  Use me.”  Bamboo had waited many seasons for such a day to come.  It was the Master that planted him and nurtured him.  It was Master that was so careful in aiding to his strength and growth.

The Master did not smile.  He…
