Session 49.4. Rational and Intuitive

Hello people, mentioned this in another thread so I thought it might have some relevance if individually discussed. From session 49.4:

The function of intuition is to inform intelligence. In your illusion the unbridled predominance of intuition will tend to keep an entity from the greater polarizations due to the vagaries of intuitive perception. As you may see, these two types of brain structure need to be balanced in order that the net sum of experiential catalyst will be polarization and illumination, for without the acceptance by the rational mind of the worth of the intuitive faculty the creative aspects which aid in illumination will be stifled.

When I read this it reminded me of all the new age chicks that know, in practice, nothing about a lot of what they talk about, and the little they do know is counter productive since they haven’t looked at it in any depth. An example is that recently I heard of a woman that aborted their child because s/he would have been a Sagittarius.

But a lot of people have a lot of strange ideas that are basically an outlet of their emotion and because they have not been subjected to a rational process, they are non useful. Think of people that say they are psychic.

In the larger sense I think it is not useful in polarity to be too emotionally lead because it is narcissism. Philosophically I understand narcissism as the belief that one’s own personal emotions should substitute for reality. So ‘narcissists’ think they can mind read others. You said x but what you really meant is y kind of thing. I am right because I feel I am right. I am worth a perfect partner even if I have nothing to offer a perfect partner.

Just some thoughts. Anyone else think this is interesting?

These two Spiritual Embodiments are intricately connected, harmoniously integrated and available freely when nearing the 6th. Here, not so much, but that is appropriate for the development underway. The balancing of these two spiritual embodiments is wisdom defined.

The lobes of your physical complex brain are alike in their use of weak electrical energy. The entity ruled by intuition and impulse is equal to the entity governed by rational analysis when polarity is considered. The lobes may both be used for service to self or service to others. It may seem that the rational or analytical mind might have more of a possibility of successfully pursuing the negative orientation due to the fact that, in our understanding, too much order is by its essence negative. However, this same ability to structure abstract concepts and to analyze experiential data may be the key to rapid positive polarization. It may be said that those whose analytical capacities are predominant have somewhat more to work with in polarizing.
The function of intuition is to inform intelligence. In your illusion the unbridled predominance of intuition will tend to keep an entity from the greater polarizations due to the vagaries of intuitive perception.

There is one correspondence between right and left and positive and negative. The web of energy which surrounds your bodies contains somewhat complex polarizations. The left area of the head and upper shoulder is most generally seen to be of a negative polarization whereas the right is of positive polarization, magnetically speaking. This is the cause of the tone’s meaning for you.

It seems intuition is equated to one of the brain lobe and rationality to the other of the brain lobe.

According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, rational is “having reason or understanding” and intuition is “the power or faculty of attaining to direct knowledge or cognition without evident rational thought and inference”.

I think it means, that people in Earth should be more rational, because of “vagaries of intuitive perception”, which I think are so called delusions and illusions, thus kind of tripping or wandering or imagining.

Yet those who are very rational have trouble with “random” creativity.

You might really like some material I happened to be involved in from Q’uo on just this subject. I find it hard to excerpt concisely, so I urge you to slog through it. Essentially, they’re talking about the origin of intelligence in the archetypal mind. The see intuition and intellect as two modes of realizing this intelligence: intellect gains remove from the self to see the pattern, with the goal of focusing the intuition on some part of the self; intuition is a way of merging with the thing being considered so that one becomes it and thereby knows it.

So it’s a very interesting corollary to how Ra speaks of intuition as “informing” intelligence. To me, it’s almost as if Q’uo is saying that all real “knowledge” comes from our transcendence of boundaries to be the thing we seek, but our ability to seat that knowledge usefully within us requires the bounded structures that intellect provides.

In some instances, yes. In others, wouldn’t you say, we learn things subconsciously, that knowledge may become seated subconsciously, or “by osmosis,” absent overt intellectualization?

For me, the simpler way to view it is that we gradually grow to become what we are, by one means or another.

For example, I recently honored an internal impulse to purchase a nearly complete set of Shakespeare’s plays. I’ve been going through the historical ones, King John, Richard II, Henry IV and so forth, which all concern power plays among the temporally powerful.

I find myself “enlightened” (pun intended) by this in the sense of internal knots being untied, in the sense of laying down the need to expend my energies thusly. My mental understanding has trailed my intuitive understanding by a noticeable distance, interestingly. And the mental element is useful in solidifying the lessons involved herein.

Oddly enough, for the past several months I’ve also been buying and listening to more Medieval and Renaissance music than I ever have in my life. This appears to part of the same process of moving through residual catalyst.

I haven’t reached there yet, but I can feel this heading towards a major episode of discovering the need for self forgiveness. That personal aspect is yucky, but the plays and the music are quite nice, actually.

On another note, this is a passage which leans heavily towards the bias that the import of this discussion falls upon the interpretation of catalyst, which is to say, message from our soul or Higher Self.

Carla

I had more questions but I feel the energy is getting low. If you wish to comment, you said that there was a language of the energy body, and I was thinking: was that the language of emotions? When I work with music or words, as in poetry, or with colors, all of those things seem to me to work well with the energy body and to clarify my own emotions and bring them out. I was thinking emotions would be the better language for the energetic body than would be intellectual analysis.

Q’uo

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We also are aware that the energy of the circle is low. We shall comment briefly.

The emotions are an avenue of exploration that also deserve a great deal of effort. The attempt to interpret catalyst and its application to future action—this is the direction that we were intending when we suggested that intuitions be examined, for intuitions are a more purified kind of emotion from another source, these intuitions being that property of the subconscious mind, the first translation, shall we say, of the language that the conscious mind attempts to understand. Thus we suggest that the intuition and, as you have suggested, the emotions, be employed more as a fundamental means of examining catalyst, rather than allowing the intellectual mind the sole effort in this endeavor.

I did read through it. There is an entire other website with channeling here. It is also highly focused on archetypes and such.

I have spent today in a darkened room not doing anything, like, nothing, about an hour of youtube videos. Not even TV just two salads and darkness. The Q’uo channeling seemed quite a good thing to do in that space.

I would say, that in contrast to what the channeling recommends. That a lot of my identity and experience is with the intellect. That’s just how it is. I wouldn’t say I have a lot of concept of a ‘self’ outside my intellect.

I would say that without the intellect, there is simply no ability to separate from the self enough to experience anything outside ones base. The Godhead chart I dropped in the other thread on this subject, in order for me to even experience say, Lakshmi or Parvati, two archetypes I am not at all connected to or like myself, I have to construct an entire set of understandings because my intuition is not going to take me there. At least it will not if I don’t have say, 50 years to get there by intuition.

Lakshmi and Parvati, the archetypes springing from Earth and Mountain. Are extremely feminine archetypes. My understanding from the hexagrams is that the bottom level is feminine and the top layer is masculine. The right is feminine spirituality, you see Christ on that side. That is the loving stuff, then the left is masculine spirituality, Archangel Michael type stuff.

I have had dreams (plural!) before where I am simply within a womans mind. I have no reference of ever having any experience remotely like that from my normal life, and no reference of how to get back there if I wanted to. The experience was very convincing as to its authenticity. So perhaps that references how intuition, without being held up by daily constraints, can deliver results. But in my daily life I cannot get there.

Food for thought: what if that approach of simplicity, of gradual growth that has the scent of intuition to me at least, works for you because you have done the intellectual structuring/focusing earlier in your life?

To answer your question, of course knowledge can become seated unconsciously! I just don’t have a great deal of a hand in it, as the conscious self writing this message to you at the moment.

Good luck on your path of self forgiveness, I’ve been doing a lot of what the kids call “shadow work” myself.

If it appeals to you, one way of looking at this is that it is similar to situation of a 6D entity who finds that he is over balanced in wisdom as compared to love, who then incarnates in 3D, in part, to learn more deeply the lessons of love.

For example:

Q’uo

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. We tread close to the limits of free will as we respond to this question. In our opinion—and we offer it for what it is worth—the pattern which you describe is that of a sixth-density wanderer whose fifth-density experiences were felt by the sixth-density entity to have too marked an effect upon the basic ground of being which is represented by the pallid word “love” and by the activity of the student of fourth density in realizing fully…

[Side one of tape ends.]

…the depths of that ground of being. The Thought that created all that there is was not a thought of wisdom. It was pure, unconditional, love. Consciousness is a Thought which creates and destroys the universe. That consciousness is a consciousness of love.

The same would describe myself, by the way.

That’s a fifth density entity. He’s wrong. Sixth density entities don’t speak like that they are FAR more grounded.

Carla didn’t have a conception of what fifth or sixth density is. They did not or could not explain which of the three of them was which so they did not have that information. And the Q’uo cannot explain that sort of thing past free will.

Since I am talking to you anyway, a point that I thought before but did not feel relevant enough to comment on. I would say that Shakespeare and music from that era is highly technical. It does not seem to me likely that someone that enjoys that kind of material is less than balanced in that area.

Perhaps you are not directed by the technical element. But it seems likely the logical and technical element is there. Music is good as good music is a perfect synergy of intuition and logic and such imo. You have the technicality of the different keys and the rhythm, and then the emotion of the content and overall product.

I do not know if my highly technical viewpoint is bad at all or how I am meant to be. Like I said I perceive my unconscious Mercury to be in the catalyst of the mind which I have identified as being high in intellectual activity as mentioned before. I do think there is a possibility there is some sort of trauma or similar. Due to illness and the economic times I have lived in. I am still only suitable for unskilled work which tends to treat people kind of like dirt. So a lot of mental defense has to be employed to interact in such a environment.

There are other things relevant to this from my dream interpretation and personal understandings which I will not confide. Just doesn’t feel right.
