The intuitions must go hand in hand with the intellect. The intellect is useful in interpreting your data in terms that the ego can understand. [...]

[...] Man is indeed his intellect, but he is much else besides.

[...] The nuclear reality is instead a practical example of what can happen when the elements of the intellect do not understand their secure basis in nature, but see themselves as apart from it —alienated. Then the misunderstood intellect and the misunderstanding intellect rails out against nature in envy, trying to destroy a unity in which it feels it has no part.

I hope, again, to stretch the reaches of both your imaginations and intellects in this book, to give you a feeling for events larger than your usual true-or-false, fact-or-fancy categories. [...] Your connections with that unmanifest universe have always helped direct your imaginations, made you aware of the rich veins of probabilities possible in physical existence, so that you could then use your intellects to decide which of the alternate routes you wanted as a species to follow.

[...] Your cultures—your civilizations—obviously affect the well-being of your species, and those cultures are formed by your ideas, and forged through the use of your imaginations and your intellects.

[...] Ruburt’s brains however gave him much more leeway than his mother’s beauty gave her, and his intellect came with a counterpart—an intuitional and psychic counterpart that enriched it and kept it from becoming bitter or even ingrown.

[...] In the meantime his intellect and intuitive abilities both discovered that the daily joy of living was important—as important as “work” or money.

They actually represent the ways in which beliefs can dull native qualities of mind and heart alike, so that the intellect seems opaque, and emotional relationships are unduly tangled. [...]

[...] He tried to rouse William’s intellect and intuitions, but to his utter amazement he found both more dormant than he had expected. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s impulses gave birth to his poetry, to his writing, and to the freedom of his intellect and the heavy-handed discipline has always been impeding.

The intellect therefore dealt with ideas it did not accept, and you can find this in those statements that he has made. (Earlier today.) The intellect and the emotions therefore, as you know, have not operated together, and whole efficiency was not maintained. [...]

The beliefs of his intellect will be found in the general nonfiction. [...]

The intellect has learned from the intuitive portions of the self. [...]

[...] The spider has no intellect or ego, and its activities are pure spontaneous uses of the Inner Senses, unhampered and uncamouflaged to a great extent. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s natural person is highly spontaneous, creative, imaginative, with an excellent intellect, natural habits of working with a spontaneous rhythm—a rhythm that follows its own internal, logical and intuitive order. [...]

[...] It is more difficult, perhaps, to see that science fears the unofficially directed intellect quite as much as it does the unofficially directed intuitions.

[...] In a fashion, at least in your time, science has as much to fear from the free intellect as religion does, and (with irony) any strong combination of intellectual and intuitional abilities is not tailor-made to bring you great friends from either category.

[...] We see here the head of the Dean that rests upon his shoulders and the intellect that demands discipline. And yet all of this rests upon the spontaneous workings of the inner self and the nervous system of which the intellect knows little. [...]

Now, you are the intellect, you are of the group. You have an emotional impediment to it, otherwise your intellect would see it clearly. [...]

Your intellect operates beautifully in the notes and appendixes of “Unknown,” but instead of rejoicing in it, you wonder if your notes lack the very kind of emotionalism that would make that particular kind of clear intellectual objectivity most difficult. [...] When you are painting you feel guilty not only because the painting does not bring in money—by now not that much of a concern, only a nagging accusation—but there also you haggle at your intellect. [...]

[...] You berate yourself on the one hand for an intellect that it seems to you separates you from immediate emotional contact with painting and with others. [...]

[...] The intellect may indeed grasp some of this understanding from the intuitions, but the intellect itself is aware of only minute portions of the whole personality. Again, this is not meant to minimize the value of the intellect. [...]

[...] It is only that your own perspective closes out much of its vast reality, for the dreaming intellect can put your computers to shame. I am not, therefore, putting the intellectual capacities in the background—but I am saying that they emerge as you know them because of the dreaming self’s uninterrupted use of the full power of the united intellect and intuitions.

[...] You spoke in your dreams and later wrote down the alphabets—and your knowledge and your intellect have always been fired, sharpened, propelled by the great inner reality from which your minds emerged.

[...] I am not condemning or minimizing the importance of the intellect in any manner. The fact remains that the intellect is itself limited at this particular time, but these limitations of the intellect are not static and can be enlarged to some considerable extent.

[...] The inner self has a much richer and deeper heritage than the intellect or ego. [...]

[...] The intellect it seems is continually being scandalized.

Your intellect is a good one but we need more than your intellect in these sessions. [...] I leave your intellectual writing life alone, though you are free to use what you have learned, so kindly keep your sometimes meddling intellect out of the sessions themselves. Your intellect is a good one, again, but darling it is no match for mine.

[...] The universe seems to have no meaning because the male “intellect” alone cannot discern meaning, since it must take nothing for granted. [...]

In those terms, the male-oriented intellect wants to order the universe, name its parts, and so forth. [...]

[...] But my essays I want delivered from the inner portion of yourself—that is composed of intuition and intellect. [...]

[...] And with your intellect and with your reason, and even I, as bothmale and female, have been married without ceremony and with ceremony and the true marriage has nothing to do with ceremony of that kind. [...]

[...] The universe seems to have no meaning because the male “intellect” alone cannot discern meaning, since it must take nothing for granted. [...]
