[...] And may I congratulate you Ruburt, for keeping your God-almighty intellect out; and I will have more to say here to Philip about the intellect.

[...] 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. [...]

[...] You forget your intellect and intuitions. [...]

[...] These inner organizations are difficult for the intellect to understand, for they handle intuitive matters and symbols much as dreams do.

[...] A moment’s insight, for example—a moment’s—might carry you in a flash where your intellect alone could not travel in years.

(Pause at 9:00.) His intellect however leads him to ask questions that are basically (underlined) intuitive. [...]

[...] He will learn to use his intellect as a fine tool, while his intuitions point to the proper direction.

[...] This involves definitely a change of focus, and willingness to momentarily detach the abilities of both the intellect and the intuitions from familiar camouflage reference points.

(9:49.) There are qualitative leaps that exist impossible to bridge with the intellect alone that separate, say, well-meaning, adequate-enough attempts toward artistic achievement, and works that are of themselves naturally artistic exhibitions. [...]

[...] I was not burdened with intellect... [...]

[...] Only because I make you think, do not ever believe that I would have you forget your banking [sic] intellect, for this is not the case, and if there is much I have not said to you, it is because you know already what I would say to you. [...]

[...] And yet I will tell you, that as a frivolous female who loved to play with a ball in the bright afternoon and had no chores to perform, seemingly an idle life and seemingly a quite useless personality—I was not burdened with intellect—and yet in that one particular life I learned more about the nature of spontaneity and joy than in many of my ponderous intellectual existences. [...]

[...] The spider has no intellect or outer ego, and his manipulations are the direct result of activities performed by pure and spontaneous use of the inner senses. [...]

Give the spider an ego and an intellect and you will see then how the picture would change. [...]

[...] By means of the brain the functions of the soul and intellect are connected with the body. [...]

I am not minimizing the necessity or power of intellect, but any activity in which the individual momentarily forgets the props of identity, and immerses himself, such an activity allows him to dispense with the practical limitations inherent in a closed system, and refreshes his psychic ability.

Using the intellect alone, man did not simply learn through daily experience over the generations, say, that one season followed the other. [...]

As you read those passages the question itself—“Are these after all the units of consciousness referred to earlier?”—should have triggered your intellect and your intuition to work together, even if only slightly, in another way. [...]

[...] You must try to stretch your imagination and feel these realities, because the intellect alone cannot comprehend them. [...]

[...] The conscious mind, with its normally considered intellect, is meant to assess the practicality of action within your world. [...]

His necessary job was to combine the two, for in him the intuitions and intellect are both strong. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s intellect had to be of high quality. [...]

You, Joseph, were necessary, but we had to have this particular sort of intuitive intellect that could also deal expertly with words before we could actually begin; and it took Ruburt a long time to achieve this state because his conscious problems, and family relations and preoccupation with them, held him back.
