  1. Infinite intelligence is all the intelligence that is in the world. But I have never heard of someone who said I took psychedelic and achieved infinite intelligence. Universal intelligence can be found in cats when they deal with cucumber. The cats jump and run away even though some cats were like kittens and have never seen a cucumber. You need to study psychology and philosophy to know more about the irrational mind.
  2. Intelligence and IQ are not the same thing. Iq is just a measurement of the person's intelligence based on certain questions at that time. The person can certainty read up more and become more intelligent in a certain area. For example, a person can read up all he wants about cats so he read tons of stuff including their diet, habits, movements and eventually he has a stronger knowledge of cats that someone else. So Imo, IQ can be improved if a person just reads up and do more IQ questions and certainly intelligence also can be improved. As for enlightenment, mind and soul probably still have a little if not a lot of overlap. So they might help one another by a small/large fraction. That I do not know for i am not enlightened. Your title and content seem to be different. Your title ask 'Does intelligence affect enlightenment?' . Your content ask 'Does enlightenment affect intelligence?'
  3. Hi, I am Chinese so I don't write very well. But here's my understanding of consciousness. First of all, throw a man who can't swim into the ocean. Let say he drown. After 30 min, drag him back to the shore and try to revive him. You cannot revive him even if you have an artificial machine that can keep pumping his heart because his 'spirit/soul' is gone. So consciousness is first being aware of the spirit in us. Next take a woman. Let's say she cut and lost an arm in an accident so she lost part of her body but her consciousness remain. So consciousness is more than the body. She is not her body. She is consciousness. Now, a person's mind also tend to wander. There is a part of us that wants to control this monkey mind. So when we are more aware, we can take control of the monkey mind at times. Being aware means you have a higher state of consciousness. Darkness happens in the absence of light. So darkness/brightness is the measurement of one thing just like hotness/coldness is the measurement of one thing. There are seven base units in the SI system: the kilogram (kg), for mass the second (s), for time the kelvin (K), for temperature the ampere (A), for electric current the mole (mol), for the amount of a substance the candela (cd), for luminous intensity the meter (m), for distance https://www.nist.gov/si-redefinition/meet-constants Oh well where did I drift off to... Now my consciousness brought me back here...or was it my mind...it will depends on what I define my mind to be I guess...
  4. Try out these books Japanese Candle Sticks by Steve Nixon You need japanese candle sticks to determine the right entry. Not an absolute must but good to sieve out any potential negative patterns in candles. Trading for a Living by Alexander Elder Good money management skills.
  5. Haha the subheader of the new book is 12 MORE rules for life. Meaning the first 12 rules is inadequate. Putting 12 more rules to milk for more buyers' cash.
  6. Because their ego is lazy. Or once in a while, they will read them just to get more dopamine:)
  7. Zodiac signs can certainly point to a certain personalities to some extent. It's not due to the signs or the animals but to the month in which someone is born in. Because the month you are born in determines how you are being treated by your parents and teachers. A child born in Jan-Feb are generally bigger sized than peers of the same year. They are treated as leaders of the group and are also treated to be smarter in junior school. Children tend to be precocious and arrogant. But things taper off after they grow up. Those born in March are super friendly. Those born in April are very hard-working. Those born in June tends to take a neutral stand to most things. Those born in Aug, Sept are hardworking esp at younger ages. Born in Nov, Dec tend to be followers when young. But things taper off once they grow up.
  8. X=0, y=6 (Both integers)
  9. Thanks Someone Good reading of Buddha's teaching.
  10. You will be shocked to know that people who play a lot of video games tend to be more relaxed and they also can be the most creative people around.
  11. I am a human being? I am typing this? This is the now. I am thinking now. Are these thoughts true?
  12. Ice cream is too weak an object to represent desire. Let say someone ask you to pick one out of the two: Ice cream or $50 dollar note. Which will you pick? Do you desire the $50 note more? What if now you are told to pick between $50 and a gold bar worth $20000? Now between a gold bar and a lovely wife? Now between a lovely wife and born and living in very poor state in say Africa or living as middle class in America? Now what do you choose between $10 mil dollars, dying today vs living frugally for 100 years. Do you desire health? Maybe your definition of desire and Buddha's definition of desire are different so you see things differently.
  13. Read 'The War of Art' by Steven Pressfield to understand how to deal with resistance. Or read 'The success principles' to understand the success framework.
  14. Her work mostly focused on detaching from your thoughts. There are however other things to do though. Like focusing on your goals in life.
  15. Yes self-love is the solution. Self love includes getting basic needs for self such as air food water shelter followed by security, relationships etc.
  16. Haha reminded me when I visited my prof last time. I was desperate because I had to score a good grade for my honours. I visited my prof quite a number of times on my own accord, just knocking on the door and see. But it's not as easy as you think. You still have to be polite, respectful and you have to come up with work to show and discuss with your prof. If not, he will brush you off and tell you go back and do this n that. In the end, i did get the grade (Grade B+) I need to get the honours I want.
  17. Read powerful book like The Power of Now.
  18. I am not American but against Hillary, I will definitely vote for Trump. Against Biden, I am little swayed but will still vote for Trump in the end.
  19. All these are conditions which are subjective. So one can always tweak it to suit the agenda. Like for example, if Trump wins, one can say that actually he made some short term economic gains or even long terms ones. Or that Trump is actually super well known and charismatic.
  20. Trump got owned by the coronavirus and the BLM. Without these two crises, Trump might have stayed on. Trump is still a businessman and I think some citizens just cannot trust him on the current health and racial issues along with other things.
  21. Saw this somewhere Why can't Trump go to the white house anymore? Because it's ForBiden.
  22. I tot Biden is blue and Trump is red. Spiral Dynamics I mean.
  23. Look at The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. If you find it too challenging to read, check out the books by Wayne Dyer or Byron Katie.
  24. Schindler list is a must watch to understand about death more deeply and quickly. You can also watch all the war movies and dramas like Black hawk down, saving private ryan, band of brothers, hacksaw ridge. Then there's also the ancient war movies like Troy, King Arthur, Gladiator, Brave heart, 300 etc And there are Samurai movies like The 7 samurais and The last Samurai to know more about the way of the Samurais. If you want more contemporary films, check out Fight Club, Peaceful Warrior.
  25. I am not American but I think America should just readjust their presidential term from 4 years to 5 years. Absolutely too much time wasted on election campaigns. Out of the 4 years in their term, half a year is spent on celebrating their victory and another year on campaigning for the next election and talking about it after that. Plus, there's state elections and house of representative elections plus more. Simply waste too much time and money!
