Lesson 61: The Highest Form of Intelligence
“The ability to observe without evaluation is the highest form of intelligence.”
In the context of this course by Stephanie Bennett Vogt, that quote relates to clearing.
Honestly, it took me a few attempts to read that sentence only because I feel a comma is needed in it. Besides this minor detail, it’s a valuable life lesson. Just observe and absorb, but don’t judge – this is how I read the sentence. We shouldn’t judge ourselves nor should we judge others as a general rule of life. In the context of clearing, it’s more about being aware, observing any sensations arise, let those sensations be and not to judge yourself when those sensations and feelings start to manifest. Taking a moment to really observe those sensations and feelings is the key. Yes, it may feel overwhelming at first, and that’s a chance to just take a break from it. It’s a gradual clearing process and not a “race” as Stephanie repeatedly teaches. It’s not about the end goal per se, it’s more about how we can control feelings in the process, until we get to a point where it’s not overwhelming anymore. Clear your physical and mental space in your own time. Only you have the power over the management of your feelings and observations towards clearing.
