RE: INTELLECTUAL SNOBBERY - NARCISSISM AT ITS WORSE.
Arthur, always a delight to read your writing. And because you don't consider yourself an intellectual doesn't mean your not a genius. Theres a type of genuis that.is genuis simple because they are vastly intelligent in diverse areas. Like say someone was great at painting yet also could tell a story with ease and engage with an audience in both pretenses that the user recognized a distinct pattern and style from both having only brief former knowledge of the author/paintist. This makes that person a genuis because they can be socially recognizable without ever coming into physical contact with another. The true genuis! That's what I refer to it as. Think van Gogh, they are.learning his paintings have hidden scientific concepts just now being discovered. He saw it, his brain broke down that pattern systematically, correctly and.so he used his skill to portray what he felt others would laugh at him for saying out loud. That the universe is exactly as you put it, alive.
I was part of the intellectual group have just come to realize that many artist, poets, and writers are selling themselves short because they fear failure or rejection from this scientific, elite world the Phds have established. PhD means you have a vaste knowledge ina topic a specialized narrowed down subject that you know a great deal of information about. I was a cardiac specialist, I knew the heart like the back of my hand, the drugs, the interventions, the patients, how they would progress over time, etc. Yet I didn't possess knowledge, real knowledge until I became disabled. And learned there are people who have no educational background yet possess these raw skills that are more fine tuned than anything I was ever taught in class.
Hey thank you so much for this. Your wise words did much healing for me after the ridicule I experienced. Good to know there are humble people out there. As for myself I love listening to the thoughts and ideas of anyone no matter what class or educational background they have.
Interesting you mention Van Gogh, he was the first artist I fell in love with when I was a t art college. He is a classic example of what this new knowledge means. All of us are as vital as each other and we are all part of and reflecting a collective consciousness. Truth and meaning can come out in anyone of us at anything. In that sense, the way I see it anyway, we are all geniuses.
Thanks again @kristy0
I tend to gravitate a lot toward van Gogh because he was schizophrenic. I tend to think he had rather a bad case given details of his paintings. To hear voices is truly a miserable experience but the visual hallucinations...sometimes the world can be so beautiful. I mean truly beautiful, Arthur, that you believe Jesus has came back and it's the second coming. I thought that one day, because of the just beauty I found in the outside world. I don't know if a painting could capture it but it's like the universe and everything is working perfectly together on a fined tuned system that the leaves.and flowers and air are equal important to humans. They come alive like the world it just glows and flows. And it's amazing. You see things you never noticed and flowers blooming before your eyes and the wind it talks to you in a calm voice and you just know that life is so much more than money, than materials, that we are meant to be one with our world.
For a long time I believed I could open other's eyes to see what I see but I think people catch glimpses of it. I think you catch it briefly at times and can paint it accurately.
On another note in of my schizophrenic phases I thought I solved the riddle to life. That.the universe would come down to one verse that Einstein whispered it on his deathbed, that the person who figured it out would be a nurse. That Einstein's energy disappeares from the atomic bomb slowly over time yet had reached a zero point and was manifesting itself through me. That verse would be by Emerson the name of a baby I lost, that it would have a 3 and a 9 in it so I googled Emerson 39 and came across humble-bee. I followed that delusions and pattern for a few weeks to get all the pieces strung together over time because the patterns my brain sees click but not fast like in the movies it's a slow tedious process that leads me to a conclusion. And has me believing things like I am Einstein reincarnated energy and that I have special powers to decipher life riddles which I do not. That said, I had never read Emerson's works or heard that he labeled them by number I just knew from the patterns and code I saw that the theory of life would come through his name it would be a single verse and it would contain the numbers 3 and 9 somewhere. The last line of the poem talks about how bumble bees have life figured out and they do. I was shocked to see that that delusions really worked out in favor for me that day. I haven't told anyone else of the universe one verse to Einstein to nursing to baby lost to Emerson to 3 then 9 to solving the existence of life theory because I was afraid they would laugh about how I got there it was a long process that couldn't be replicates by science. Science isn't all knowing if they could replicate the universe they would have tried it by now.
Wonderful and beautiful thoughts kristy. Interesting about the number 9. These quantum physicists are saying that the math says there are 9 dimensions and we are a 3 dimensional reflection of this dimension. And that we truly are all connected to each other and everything. These scientists believe the world is changing and for the better. That we as a race will move on, and are moving on albeit slowly...towards a world where the pursuit of money and material thing ill be a thing of the past. I long for that world.
