Stupid is as stupid does. Our intelligence is only as useful as our ability to exercise it. Do you identify yourself with your thinking mind? Are you "intelligent"? Or can you identify with the part of you that's unfolding in a manner that's more genius that alfred einstein? Is this happening to you or are you making it happen? Who's doing anything here?
There's a part of me that can cause things to happen. - I can cut my arm. This being is limited to ''doing things.'' the realm of ego. Where one can claim genius. Which is pretty useless.
There's a part of me that I have no control over. - My arm heals itself. I don't have to do anything but be patient. A cosmic force unfolding within me. This is also the force that moves mountains. Complete genius.
How do you best allow the universe to unfold in your favor? This force of god or whatever you want to call it is in all of us. Some are just more aware of the game than others. Find your true potential. It's not thinking with greater power, it's being able to identify yourself with the godness inside you. From there the world is yours. Play your hand as best as you can and you'll be as genius as anyone.
