Redefining Human Intelligence
Date: 26 February 2021 | Author: Edina de Jong – Hodžić
When I look at our current world and the decisions being taken at global level I can’t help but ask myself if our current definition of ‘Human Intelligence’ has reached it’s limit? World leaders and public service officials supported by scientists, medical experts, corporations, media etc. are reinforcing rules and laws that are not only violating human rights, they are based on limited perception of reality which clearly indicates a lack a deeper wisdom, knowledge and understanding of the holistic nature of a human being. Have we reached a new phase in human history that will change the way we define Human Intelligence?
Today when we refer to Human Intelligence, we often refer to the IQ which more or less describes our left brain power that consists of analytical thinking, language, reasoning, logic, science & math. Wikipedia describes IQ as “a total score derived from a set of standardized tests or subtests designed to assess human intelligence”. Just by reading this definition we should ask ourselves if we willingly agree that our Intelligence is defined by a set of standardized tests. To me, this definition seems more applicable to a robot than an unique human being.
The function of a human brain is to receive information through our five senses, to process, categorise, store and access it when prompted. You can see the brain as a biological computer processor. Though, a computer processor without the Wisdom of the mind, emotions and the heart can turn out to be a very limited tool of perception. Many of today’s collective misconceptions about Human Intelligence arise from the importance we have given to our IQ.
Our current global educational system is centred around this single IQ (Intellect) perspective. Though, in the past couple of years I have observed a growing interest in our societies to understand and unlock the power of our Mind, Emotions and the Heart. The human Heart holds a great deal of wisdom and has the ability to harmonise our health and connect us to the universal intelligence of the cosmos. The US based HeartMath Institute for 25 years has been researching the heart-brain connection and learning how the heart influences our perceptions, emotions, intuition and health.
“The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.”
Albert Einstein
One of the strongest misconceptions that humans hold about Intelligence is that it comes from knowledge obtained through formal education and books. It’s quite normal that we hold this belief because we start school at a young age where we are being programmed to believe this. This is supported by our parents and care takers telling us that if we do well in school, we will be rewarded. Plus the society is telling us that without formal education we will not have a good future, prosperity and we will be excluded by the society. When we don’t comply to this belief system, we become ‘outsiders’. There is a reason that this has become a known archetype within our societies. From early on we rely on everything that formal education is telling us, from history to biology and we end up creating a world based on this single formal education view. Though, do we ever ask ourselves if this view is complete? Why are children in school not taught about the wisdom of the holistic human body? Have we mistaken knowledge for creativity?
Another misconception that is linked to the previous one is that IQ (Intellect) likes to identify with something and for that we have created the system of ‘Levels and Titles’. When you reach a certain level of education, you’re being rewarded in the form of a ‘title’. This has resulted into a distorted belief that titles are what defines a human being and the more titles we achieve, the more validation we will get from the society and the more importance we will feel compared to those that have less titles. I don’t think I have to go on to illustrate to you the distortion and danger behind this system which is being shown to us today in the form of the collective shadow of ‘Entitlement’ which has created individuals and groups that feel superior to others. This collective shadow has been the base for much power abuse in human societies: wars, slavery, racism, abuse of natural resources etc. It is this very formal education system that causes separation, division, suffering and conflict on this Planet.
Just as we can agree that our current definition of left brain Intellect has reached it’s peak, those (World) Leaders that keep this definition alive might as well have reached their peak unless they choose to evolve, expand their awareness and activate their right brain. I believe that there is a new generation of Leaders rising up, those that use their Intellect in combination with their Wisdom, their Creative Abilities and act for the benefit of all people.
So how do we define this New Human Intelligence that goes beyond the IQ? We can refer to it as Holistic Intelligence, combining Intellect, Mind, Emotions and Heart (soul). Our Holistic Intelligence is a very powerful and untapped inner resource. And the only way to access that inner resource is through ‘Awareness’, by being present. In our modern world we refer to this process as ‘mindfulness’. It is a disciplined process of bringing awareness to our environment, thoughts, beliefs, emotions and physical sensations.
Unfortunately the distractions of our modern world have programmed us to undermine this untapped potential of our Holistic Intelligence by a conscious and unconscious choice to be and remain disconnected from the reality of the world we live in. This is observable through the shadow state of the human psyche that chooses to stay ignorant of what is happening in the world. I see it all around me, people consciously and unconsciously choosing not to participate in the discussion about human rights, lockdown measures, new global projects etc. It is almost as those people believe that by not actively participating in what is happening around them, they will escape the reality of it. This belief of escaping the reality is actually the very thing that will rob those people of their sovereignty, freedom and true empowerment.
“The most violent element in society is ignorance.”
Emma Goldman
Our Holistic Intelligence is wrapped in the story of our DNA which holds the keys to our full human potential. Science today says that 3% of our DNA is activated and wrapped up in the spiralling 2-strand helix and the remaining 97% of our DNA is referred to as ‘junk DNA’ which science claims has no purpose. This ‘junk DNA’ most certainly has a purpose and can be activated and unlocked by the practice of ‘Awareness’. Through this process of Awareness we can activate a 12-strand helix that would equal to our full potential. This practice of conscious DNA activation all together can be referred to as a biological upgrade of our human system – a Natural Human Evolution.
The Russian biophysicist and molecular biologist Pjotr Garjajev and his colleagues have started an extensive research on human DNA back in 1990. Their research revealed that the supposed junk DNA that has been completely neglected and forgotten by western mainstream science, was no redundant leftover of evolution at all. Garjajev’s group discovered that the DNA is by no means a closed book of life. He discovered that the text of the DNA book can be altered. The codons of the DNA string can be rearranged in different sequences. In other words the software of the human genome our DNA molecule can be reprogrammed!
The work of Garjajev and his team is something that is supported by the world mystical traditions which have referred to this DNA-activation process as ‘enlightment’. In modern psychology the terms self actualisation and self realisation are used to describe this process.
This process of a ‘biological Human upgrade’ has remained in the shadow of today’s worldwide agenda that is being pushed about Artificial Intelligence and Transhumanism. Although both these agenda’s promise an ‘upgraded Human’, this ‘upgraded Human’ will evolve through a non-natural process. It is being said that through this non-natural process a person could reach an IQ score up to 300 (compared to an average of 100). To most people this sounds beyond amazing though an IQ of 300 that lacks wisdom, the conscious power of the mind, emotions and heart and lacks creativity and imagination can become a very dangerous tool of manipulating reality.
A human being that evolves through the natural process of evolution gets one’s power (life force, chi, prana) from nature, whereas the human that chooses non-natural interference (mRNA changes and AI) will get it’s power from a non-natural source. One important point to make here is, that nature’s intention towards its creation is always benevolent though can we say the same about the intention of a non-natural / artificial source?
I believe that the sense of urgency that we observe in the world today is pointed towards each one of us, asking us to take a stand of either Ignorance or Wisdom. The ‘old’ doesn’t work anymore, it is not serving the whole, it is limited in perception and awareness and if not stopped on time it could have a disastrous effect on the whole of Humanity. The old fairy tales where we are waiting to be saved and rescued by others have passed. Planetary Evolution is asking us to expand beyond the old programme, to take self responsibility and make conscious and sovereign choices. We live in a time where we have the opportunity to open ourselves to a wider Wisdom, Holistic Intelligence and untapped potential of Nature. The choice for wisdom, freedom, sovereignty and inner power is and has always been yours. You are the creator of your reality!
