Intelligence is a big word to cover multiple definitions but who made them where do they come from and could their very definitions be a self limiting processes in itself?<br>Cognitive intelligence <br>Emotional intelligence <br>Reactionary intelligence <br>Spiritual intelligence <br>There are many intelligences that can be categorised or experienced. <br>School is data input but the input method is a very similar method all around the world. School is mainly behavioural conditioning for readiness for data input. It’s a mode. For example sitting down on the ground in a group listening to a story from the age of 5yrs is more than just having a story. It is conditioning to group behaviour to sit still to stop talking to listen to focus on the teacher. To do all this surrounded by a peer group who if listening the same way is a powerful way to set group behaviour expectations I.e. not just adjusting to conditions to get a story but setting expectations for future behaviours.<br>My point is that human intelligence has not even begun to being accessed to anywhere near its full potential All of the definitions exist within a programme a bubble. You have to be objective about the conditions of the bubble before you define intelligence. <br>Change the bubble change the methods of data input you will get different outputs.<br>Tables and chairs are very practical we pretty much use them for all aspects of study or desk based work from childhood.<br>But could your body position in a chair limit your intelligence?<br>That sounds extraordinary and ridiculous! But unless you have experienced a profound change to your sense of intelligence you probably won’t believe me. But it is my experience.<br>I struggled at school I just didn’t understand why I was there I didn’t like being in groups I was happy in my own company. I did not crave opportunities to find big groups of friends. But once in that environment got totally confused by hierarchical friendship groups why was there so much difference. My peers making decisions about who to like who not to like. In short school was a completely bizarre environment for me totally unnatural and I didn’t understand why I was in something that made me feel stupid and rejected most of the time.<br>But it’s compulsory to go to school no options on home schooling for me so what I learnt the most about school was showing up. And the rules and how everyone treated each other. I saw the invisible things constantly thinking about how everyone interacted with each other. How to navigate my way through that. But at no point did I think any of my teachers were intelligent. They had information they had to impart they had a certain time frame to do it in. We were 30 in a class so they were happy to get everyone having the same test score so there was no room for individual variables. Nothing seemed intelligent to me about the methods so I couldn’t see any intelligence coming out of a teacher that had no imagination to think outside the box. Tests played a big part of their measurement of intelligence and also worth of a persons efforts I knew from the get go that was not how you measure worth of effort so I never saw them as intelligent people.<br>How I learnt was through unpredictable but gear shifting light bulb moments. I could never know when they were going to happen but it usually happened over night.<br>So I didn’t like writing or picking up a pen to make letters. Was the most uninteresting thing in the world following lines and then remembering them in certain shapes and then calling them words. Not freeing at all. A pen was for drawing making patterns going in any direction you wanted. Plus everyone wanted this done with the right hand and I used my left. But one day I got the hang of it. But it was a light bulb moment couldn’t do it one day then the next could. <br>All my key milestone learning went on like that through my early years. One day I would wake up and know how to do something I couldn’t do the day before.<br>The light bulb moment.<br>Not until I was an adult I found out how to increase light bulb moments. Light bulb moments come from slowing everything down. Getting into a different brain wave length. Ancient wisdoms knew all about this brain change  with deep meditation practice.<br>Connecting with nature stretching the body out having periods of stillness or calm these conditions increase lightbulb moments. This might result in problem solving but it can also be for memorising and even enabling physical task learning too.<br>Right now with the way humans measure intelligence it is very limited because society operates in a certain brain wave length and intelligence is harnessed to that. But humans are much more intelligent than our societal fabric we are cosmic until we get in-tune with that how that works then we are only experiencing one tiny element of human experience. Experience creates knowledge. Knowledge expands the mind. The mind is perception and can travel you anyway and anywhere with your mind it is the place where you manufacture possibility and belief.
