Awesome, ok...I would add....me in red.
// three ways to increase your intelligence
1. Continually expand the scope, source, intensity of the information you receive.
Expansion is positive, so is inflow, it is important to make the data into information and find what is usefull as well....we are not short of data, drawing it up constantly with big pens and or markers on large notepads, modeling stuff out, to define things for oneself and to own and have the information, instead of it just becoming loose mental data really helps.
One must work with it, test it, take ones time, and not have an unbending obsession or fixed intent to learn with major expected outcomes, also study a subject for it's own sake instead of a grade, also there must be a willingness to be either wrong or right, and an ability to change ones mind of false stable datums while one knocks on the door of truth. That is the most difficult part, questioning ones own motives and hidden reasons for not owning truth, which increases success through Know and certainty, knowledge is onle a step through comunication, wisdom is important as well. Enforced realities are overated.
2. Constantly revise your reality maps, and seek new metaphors about the future to understand what's happening now.
Ahh...Past time, present time, and future time, and mental maps....all important...subjetive reality and objective reality in many are colapsed and confused in odd ways.....Comparing the past to now and analysing the differences and similarities does one good, but must be done from now and in real time, a model...
differnences and similarities from
now to past
past to now
now to future
future to now
now to now
past to past
future to future
future to past
past to future
these are the 9 flows of time.
ones awareness and intention is often in the many mocked up times with mental models of past present future...often while looking and comparing the differences and similarities to objects in the past and present one will often find the past sitting in ones future...the mind is tricky....
it also likes to confuse by identification, delusion, mental models with now reality...recovering ones past is often a way of recovering ones perception of the future as well as present and how one creates it...giving one a new fresh, stable present time to work from...it expands the mind and perception, so one does not identify the past with the present or the future with the present etc..people with other people....it also gives one a diferent sence of time which is subjective, in many there is not much difference between subjective and objective...
nearly everyone uses data and experience to create their decissions conciderations and opinions in life, partially unconciously partialy conciously, which none of them are truth absolute, but all are helpfull in the use of games where an individual is at the awareness of not know, going into a new area and such.
a person may be creating the present from the past or the future as well as the present through their mental models, and mockups of reality, through which they interact with reality through the formation of absoulutes in their mental universe...which they often see for themselves as the physical universe.....the mind is a tricky dicky.
What will happen is one will come out of inactuality in some areas based upon subject, which can be scary because one starts to see how stupid one was....some stop there.....it can be frightening and also embarassing, embarassment is also one of the reasons people stay stupid.
What keeps people stupid and in their personal unwanted conditions?
1 - ignorance,
2 - maintenance of ignorance,
3 - substitution to a heavy degree, and
4 - co-operation with other screwy people to keep it that way.
If you want to grow and become rational, then you have to attack these 4 things. If you would fix these 4 things by subject on a person, they recover very rapidly. In fact they get quite a restoration of self and power.
It takes all four of those things for someone to stay in the condition they are in. You can actually be so sloppy as to change any one of the four, and they will get better. - If you change all four, and confine the work to addressing subjects one at a time, life can become a piece of cake, after a while.
3. Develop external networks for increasing intelligence. In particular, spend all your time with people as smart or smarter than you.
Good advice, one thing to remember as well is gradient, defining things for oneself while observing others models and deffinitions, not getting in over ones head, practive with posing and resolving problems, breaking subjects down into areas of study without getting to narrowminded about specific boundaries you have created, or they have created(differentiation)(virgo), differntiate, find similars(gemini) with other subjects, or in the subject deffined itself, identify specific things(piscies), dissasociate some things(sag), find things that are predictable, make your own models as well as find where and how your models came about...whose ideas and where they came from, analize beliefs,
IT also helps to know who your are, if you don't find out and ask yourself.
People who don't know who they are do stupid things and say stupid things, there are many cause of this.
ask,
1)What do you believe to be true?
2)Why do you believe it to be true?
3)What was the earliest time you believed it to be true?
Uncover your beliefs to find self evident truths.
Colecting and copying viewpoints is easy, so is dissasociating and dissagreeing with them.....similarities helps in study and learning, differentiation helps with pulling apart the mass of thoughts ideas and viewpoints to discover their source.
Use all the mutable signs of the zodaic sparingly.
It is good to be able to be rid of some viewpoints and automatic thoughts or ideas or models, so if one is going to create models, share or express them, one must also be able to uncreate personal models as well, created or colected...or co created... as they become useless....dissasociating from people that are screwy ony works to a certain degree if one has also in the past either agreed or dissagreed heavily with them...it can fix ones mind into current viewpoints that can limit one's discovery of truths behind the hows of things. It can fix one on a fixed course of discovery of knowledge and wisdom.
Learn to neither dissagree, agree, or be indiffernet. Find the place above that, use it, that is a way, or part of a way, to truth and the ability to use it...or see it for oneself.
Dont be affraid to question, but try to find your own answers, they are the only ones you can use because you know how you came about them, use your own observation without being the total effect of others or enforcing yours, never be affraid of multiple theories, but also be practical instead of just colecting theoretical knowledge. Find things you can use and play with them till you can. Bulid upon your own experience and discard experience that is limiting by unmocking it instead of ignoring it, or blacking it out of your mind where it will effect one later.
Understand that emotional inteligence is just as important as mental intelligence, never forget the heart.
