What is the essence of intelligence?

In all Nature, there is intelligence made manifest in the various forms of life. Intelligence is closely allied to thought and is the manifestation of the coming together of the culmination of life's essences. Thought is the culmination of desire or sensation of the life atoms made manifest.

Thought then is the offspring of both the material and the spiritual, while Intelligence is of Spirit alone.

By intelligence thought is harnessed and sent upon its mission. You have the intelligence of man, the beast of the field, the fowls of the air, as well as the inanimate things of life. These intelligences are so interallied that you are enabled to trace them to the Fountain of All-knowledge and Wisdom—the Infinite Intelligence—GOD.

So you find you are an emanation of the Deity, a god, as it were, whose intelligence is the successful culmination of the lower forms to higher attainments, promulgated from time to time through the avenues of progression.

It is very plain then that to think properly is to harness the powers of thought intelligently.

Intelligence in Nature in all her forms,

Reflect in her a higher life—

Wherein all power is forever born

To crush the prevalent works of strife.

Will hatred, selfish thought be torn

From within the heart of every man,

And stronger purposes unfold

To better help where e' re it can?
