Intelligence is not everything

Even intelligent people have numerous loopholes
where stupidity can still creep in.
Understanding, i.e. awareness, to understand the whole,
is thus ground down, takes a different direction,
deviates into unconscious, ignorant, divided states.

So those who only calculate with their heads
lose control of things and situations,
carry too much mental baggage within themselves,
contain a suppressed understanding of the heart,
too little to create balance.

Then the intellect becomes an ulcer,
intelligence a tool of the mind
in a negative way with poor results,
with humanity falling by the wayside.

Consciousness – a spiritual metamorphosis

How can someone lead an entire country
if that person cannot lead himself?
He is led and guided
by his own mind, by his ego,
by pride and a ruthless lust for power,
who only cares about his own life,
who pretends to love his people,
but wants to achieve his goal
through countless sacrifices on the battlefield
at any price, no matter how high,
who does everything to keep up appearances,
that only he is important,
who harbours the war in his head and heart,
wields the sword of hatred and violence,
seeks reasons to justify himself,
to enforce his morbid desires,
deceiving himself and others.

He who has war and destruction in his heart,
thus makes himself a victim of war,
cannot know non-violent love.

Love that leads and unites.
Love that does not divide
Through hatred and violence.

Humanity is needed,
the deep insight into oneself,
to bring about right understanding,
to drop the mask of mind and ego.

Needed: a spiritual Metamorphosis – to become a true human being…
