The Awakening of the Intelligence Revisited

Intelligence has been variously described and the only one we really know anything about is our own [if we know any thing about it]. I've gone on about the nature of intelligence elsewhere so we will consider that as read (the point being: ordinary atoms properly stacked=life). The question then is the fixation of intelligence, and might there be such a thing as the awakening of the intelligence. Intelligence is the very stuff of life. It is the difference between a molecule and a paramecium. Intelligence has no ideas. Intelligence is the stuff of which ideas are woven.

If we imagine intelligence as a flower in the fruition of the evolution of the universe, then it would seem that the finest fruit of this flower would be the universe awakening to its self.

The May Pole

we are the May Pole

mummified

in wrappings of imagination

dancing round are a circumference of lovely demons

weaving with colors existential

the life that will entomb us

drawn to accept vagaries of the sun

can we accept the certainty of the moon
