i. dissociative etc.

Although there a few other connections, I had a recent converstation with a psychiatrist about having been referred to as an idiot savant. To which he replied (not his exact words)I wasn't dumb enough to be in that category which is typical for people who have down syndrome.

I had also said I was diagnosed as having dissociative identity disorder and repressed memories I was recalling to which he also said isn't recognized either. And yet some websites say differently. I suppose he is what some people refer to as a: "Bot?" or similar.

I did notice that he was nearly motionless and his eyes didn't seem to blink either as if reading from some texbook page from memory or teleprompter somewhere in the room.

A person with DID or alternate personalities would seem to me to be an idiot savant if they were to pass these tests also.

To assume anything from textbooks this way isn't enough proof either.

Let's not forget Get Smart or "Ow, that smarts!" either.

Can we categorize people accurately into different personality types ? I mean take Einstein for example he was a brilliant mathematician ( left hemisphere - thinker ) yet he himself admitted intuition played a huge part in his theories - because he was AWARE but how many intellects are totally blind to the fact this faculty is functioning on a subconscious level ?

Einstein quotes

"Indeed, it is not intellect, but intuition which advances humanity. Intuition tells man his real purpose in this life... I do not need any promise of eternity to be happy… my eternity is now. I have only one interest: to fill my purpose here where I am. This purpose is not given to me by my parents or my surroundings. It is induced by some unknown factors. These factors make me part of eternity. In this sense I am a mystic...”

Although intuition is what allows us to move forward—is the most important part of thinking—it alone is not enough. Knowledge also has its place, but intuition is the gatekeeper at the most critical juncture. Even though the workings of intuition remain mysterious, it is a reality.

When we get intuition what functions come into play - all of our senses - what function then helps to analyse and act on that data ? ( Intellect.) Normally we are totally oblivious to each individual function and their interaction with one another. And in all honesty Seagrass surely creativity would have to be the closest function associated with the Creator so what does that tell you about yourself

Thanks Destiny, but Einstein could play the violin... I am starting a little theory that math and music are related to some kind of genius I don't have. It's ok. I don't think I am stupid or anything, and I wouldn't want to be like my genius relatives. They don't have the people skills that I value. I must have chose those skills to be better at for some purpose.
You have word smarts. You have a way with words, you make them beautiful. And you have people skills because you are my friend.

Such lists of understanding could be refined and argumented about until the cows come home. However let's assume that this list is accurate. It's trough to find's one's spacing within such a ridgid list. One should keep in mind that these are just conditions, and that ones' self doesn't have to fit into any catagory as we are all a mixture of such a list. There are those that might fall under stupid accross the board and those that might have smarts scattered about the list, however I'd say true inteligents would be finding a ballance.

Maybe such a list is like a shopping list:

Flower
Sugar
Eggs
Milk
Fruit
Butter

It's the combination of said ingredents as to meausre and usage that makes the diffrence between bread, muffins, cakes, and an omlet.

excellent analogy. I am trying to figure out what I want to make for breakfast... Or what kind of recipe makes for enlightenment or happiness...

(((Destiny))) You just described yourself. I wish I was able to have your dreams and abilities to see the beauty and connection in all things. Your spirituality is genius.

- Emotional Intelligence:
(to understand and be aware of the reason's in feeling emotions)

- Cosmic Intelligence:
(to understand and be aware of the universal mind and universal life)

- Spiritual Intelligence:
(to be aware of, and understand the spiritual body and its energies)

- Personal Intelligence:
(to understand and be aware of your own self and who you are)

Deep introspective intelligence can also relate to other intelligences of the mind. From a deep and concious level, all of the connections in life seem apparent. For example, to have understanding is a type of intelligence, to be aware of the reasoning for other's actions and their motivations.

Understanding is not something you choose to have, it is intelligence.
At the point where a person is choosing to allow themselves to have understanding when they allready have the knowledge, they would be choosing the opposite pole of understanding, which is ignorance. Understanding is a dual meaning word, it means to know and understand the truth and it shows you the way to compassion with that understanding and through the proper utilization of that understanding comes wisdom.

To have understanding but to choose not to use it, you are dulling the mind. To have understanding is intelligence. Everything you talk about when putting intelligence into classifications is about having an understanding about those things. It may even be a personal thing with someone, to have understanding of the truth of anothers situation would bring intelligence with the understanding and you would be wise. Wisdom come not from knowledge, but the proper utalization of said knowledge.

Sometimes it is the simplest and small things that invoke the greatest and most shaking truths in the mind.

I know there's more but these came to the forefront of my mind.

Truth along with understanding reside within. To follow your own truth with your understanding is called wisdom. In other words, to follow through with what you beleive to be truth is wise. You can only be as wise as is as much of your understanding that you have. My thoughts are all over the place so its hard to write coherently, sorry.

I will post more if I think about it later.

But what does it mean if you have universal and spiritual intellegences?

I mean I'm pretty much normal and your average intellegent person. IQ is slighty above average last time I did it.


I mean, Knowing you have this? what does it mean. I'm not an einstein obviously, but what would you call people who are sharply intutive??

Just wonderings

For those of you that KNOW.... this thread has been manufactured by A CERTAIN COMMITEE to extract certain points of information from you all... - and they are doing this because they are actually scared of PROMETHEUS...- but make haste.... slowly....

Yeah, my head hurts too....great innit?

Better than telly anyday.

I'm going to have to ponder the "wisdom from the self" thing though.

I don't quite understand where else my wisdom would come from, except the personal experiences and accumulated learnings of my life.

Is that not part of my "self"? It's hard to divorce that knowledge back to it's origin and see it as a true source. Without my personal skills it's just knowledge isn't it. It became wisdom when I understood how to use the knowledge to benefit.

Most people can count but few are great mathematicians. Anyone can read a dictionary or thesaurus but few can write a great novel....hope this makes sense.

Pass the paracetamol..
