SCRIPT:::

Intelligence has a dual capacity according to whether we direct it outwardly or inwardly. The nature of its orientation is the key to evolution in humanity.
Intelligence functioning outwardly through the senses becomes intellect; the concrete or informational side of intelligence.
Functioning inwardly through our deeper consciousness it becomes what could better be called true intelligence.

The distinction between intellect & true intelligence is crucial for understanding the condition of the world today.
Intellect refers to an intelligence that uses reason, based upon the senses, to determine truth. It extends the range of the senses through various instruments, like telscopes & microscopes, and it increases its calculating capacity through various machines, like computers.
It invents different systems of ideas to understand the world.

Intellect constructs the idea of an external world as reality, noting the names & forms of things & placing them into various categories & hierarchies. The notion of an outer world of enjoyment as our place of fulfillment derives from it.
From it comes a materialistic view of life & a mechanistic view of the universe.

So intellect directs us to outer goals in life; enjoyment; wealth; power; or mundane knowledge. It creates a bodily idea of existence in which we become trapped in time & space, sorrow & death.

Intellect emphasizes outer distinctions, roles & identities. Through it we get caught in surface information; status & possessions.
Intellect functions under the control of the ego & emotion rather than guiding. It can inhibit our spiritual evolution making us prefer solid, worldly realities over inner experiences...
