Close your eyes. Direct awareness to the ear-drum and listen. Associate with the listening-drum then become it.

It's a like-for-like, reflective, coherence with another. Like finding oneself, something recognizable, within the reflection of a pool of water, or in the form of the clouds. Because you are a microcosm of everything, and you too are so very beautiful.

yes no It doesn't work that way. The "you" which is described above is a confluence of affinities, aversions, talents, and flaws. Where ever "you" find yourself, here or there, before or after, you will always possess these attributes. Lacking any of these, it wouldn't be "you". It would be another individual. If it's true that you are lacking intellectually, then avoid intellectual pursuits. Instead turn towards art, poetry, music, athletics, comedy, construction, care-giving, ... etc.

"A lot can be learned about her majesty's treasures by watching the way she is guarding them."

If ALL these things break down at the absolute level, then, the absolute should be excluded from this? If so, are there examples of "intelligence" which are in complete isolation from any relationships, associations, or attributes? If intelligence, alone, is the fundamental stratum for reality, then, I would expect there to be examples of "intelligence" in isolation of any others. I can't think of any. Can you?

Or... have kids. Bye-bye sex drive. Hello screamy-snot-wagons.

Maybe? It's the desire to procreate. There's millions of years of inertia behind it.

I disagree. The reason Jesus is believed to be the Savior is because of an "indwelling of spirit" aka "inspiration" that is uniquely accessible via the Father-Son narrative. The earliest extent source for this theology is Psalm 51. When Jesus walked the earth, almost everyone was ignorant of the prophecies that were written. There were no printing presses. Access to scripture was privileged. You're right that the prophecies do not point to Jesus. The proof-texting that so many preachers employ are easily refuted. Their purpose is to entice the audience to open themselves to an "indwelling" of spirit. Then, once the individual experiences it for themself, they accept Jesus as their "patron" deity, for lack of better words.

Can intelligence exist lacking any associations or relationships?

Wisdom is a type of cognition which is accurately associating this-and-that. The classic example is choosing the correct key for a lock from a key ring with many keys. When the individual is going through the keys looking for the proper one, if the cognition is slowed so that it can be studied, there are gaps, pauses, like little gasps, as the shape of the key in hand is compared to the **lacking** of the key which is needed. Wisdom is the very specific accurate **lacking** within the mind of what is needed to fulfill the individual's desire. Because wisdom is dependent on facts, the keyring and many keys in the example above, it cannot be first order.

... that you could ... Speaking for myself, I carefully distinguish between "can" and "should". People can do all sort of things, but, should they? Beyond that, the secret to becoming a squirrel, is in the convincing of others. Yes you are. And you're magnificent!

and ... you'll like it.

Not in a conventional manner. The excitement is an arousal, a stirring. It's excitement better described as agitation. The love for the "lowest-of-the-low" is rooted in the inherent negative valence.

All the best to you,

You're doing it again. Steering the conversation away from the topic so you can play with "Nothing" ( aka your-Self )

"Your mileage may vary." A blessing: "May we live in interesting times."

"You are what you eat."

Regarding rage: it's not the F word, it's the repeated accusatory to an unknown "You" who is doing or speaking something wrong. Also regarding rage: frustration is within the spectrum of rage. Frustration can be insidious, particularly if the individual insists on prohibited themselves from ... ... permissible pleasures. To be clear, my interpretation of "Fuck it / Fuck Everything" is upthread. Very briefly: it means the individual is fed-up.

That's changing the subject. Maybe so, maybe not. It's tempting to consider it, but, It's off topic. I still love you, tho. No harsh judgements. That's the spirit! The keywords are bold italic. The point is: It's a semantic fault. It's not arbitrary. If the meaning of "Fuck it / Fuck Everything" is being adapted, as opposed to being abused, perhaps within the context of poetry / art / freedom of speech, the one speaking would acknowledge the changes made to the conventional meaning.

No.... not mistaking the images... In English, the only time the expression "Fuck It" expresses positive determination is in the context of porn. If you disagree, please bring examples of circumstances where an individual exclaims "Fuck it!" "Fuck everything" to communicate a positive determination. Specifically catachresis. "Catachresis (from Greek κατάχρησις, 'misuse'), originally meaning a semantic misuse or error, is also the name given to many different types of figures of speech in which a word or phrase is being applied in a way that significantly departs from conventional (or traditional) usage" - Wikipedia Naturally

Fuck everything. Pursuing a goal. Those two things don't go together. Please recall my first question? It was asking for another interpretation. I'm glad we've gotten there. Outside of Porn? Positive determination? Really? ~blinks~

futile? Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Sometimes. But what does that have to do with burning all my stuff? Cars don't blow-up ln real life like they do on netflix. Burning stuff is hard work. Even managing a campfire is a lot of work. Posting on an internet forum is an RFC. I will not "Shut up". That's rude.

~shrugs~ ( how was that ? ) That's a lot of work.

A fair assessment. I appreciate the candor.
