May Life and Peace be upon all beings.
Humans, being at the top of the complexity of Life, surpass the upper limit of Consciousness of the other beings, reaching the Third Consciousness or Reflective Consciousness, that is Imagination.
Imagination is the faculty that have Humans to create within their Selves, within their Consciousness, new things that do not exist in Nature and that they did not receive through their Senses, in the form of sensory Images. This is why this faculty is called Imagination as it is the creation of Images.
It is also usually called abstraction, as it creates images in the absence of their physical presence or of their sensory reception, thus as images that are only within the Consciousness.
The Images created within the Consciousness come from the change of the memorised images, that come themselves from the sensory receptions. By the reflective faculty of Imagination, the sensory images that were memorised are broken down into their parts and elements and qualities, that are further changed in their quantities, then combined in potential combinations that are the created images.
Imagination and the created images can be related to all the senses, the interoceptive and the proprioceptive and the exteroceptive senses, and potentially to the feelings. The more the senses are exteroceptive rather than interoceptive, the more they are conscious rather than subconscious, the easier it is to recall and to imagine the related memorised sensations and images, the easier it is to create new images from them.
This is why, even though Imagination can recall and imagine and create images from all the body’s sensations, it does so mainly from the exteroceptive senses’ memories, among which mostly from the senses that receive information with the most of qualitative dimensions and with the deepest precision, that are:
Hearing / audition for time, creating sounds,
Sight / vision for space, creating visual images such as body postures and gestures, and facial expressions, and item sculptures, and graphical drawings.
To be able to communicate between them with precision even from far or without seeing each other,
With the faculty to imagine sounds and to create many new ones with their voice and to combine them in specific temporal sequences that are each associated with one specific thing,
Humans developed the faculty of Speech Language, and they created Words, each Word indicating one specific thing and having an associated signification or meaning,
And they speak words one after the other in a temporal order to express and communicate specific information that can be easily differentiated from other different information.
By Speaking a Word, the Human creates within his Consciousness the Image associated with this Word, thus makes this Image becoming real within his own Consciousness, thus creating within his Consciousness a new reality that did not exist previously.
Imagination is conception of an Image within Consciousness,
And Speech is Creation of a reality within Consciousness.
When we speak words and say something with our voice, what they signify becomes real for us in our own Consciousness,
From our Hidden internal subconscious Consciousness, it manifests into our Apparent external conscious Consciousness that is the Apparent world that we create and within which most of us live,
When we say it, then it comes to be and it becomes,
This is the Human Speech’s power to create reality within our Consciousness.
With Imagination we can break down Images, either received through the Senses either recalled from memory or created within our Consciousness, into parts and elements and qualities,
With Speech we can create Names that indicate these parts and elements and qualities and quantities, and give Names to quantities to differentiate them and express them as Numbers that we use to measure quantities,
Then with Imagination we can compare quantities, mainly through the Numbers that express them (but not always), this comparison of quantities is the faculty of Reason,
Then with Reason we can perceive continuity between events and similarities between things, then the Links between them, this perception of Links between things is the Intelligence,
And with both Reason and Intelligence we can perform an Imagination process of several steps of measures and comparisons and differences and similarities and links, that is reasoning, to come to a conclusion of what is necessary or possible or impossible, and thus of what is true or false, this process is Logic as it is performed with Speech and Words that make it easier to perform; the word “logic” coming from the Greek word “logos” that means “word” that comes from “count” that comes from “select”.
Human Intelligence performs on all feelings and senses, thus, measures and comparisons and continuity and similarities and links can be done directly on:
Instincts of survival and reproduction, that is Preservation Intelligence,
Emotions, that is Emotional Intelligence, that is first internal to the Self, and that can extend to the interactions and relations with the other Selves, that is the Relational Intelligence,
When All feelings are received in One Complete experience of the Self, it is the Self Intelligence, that is also usually called the psychic intelligence,
Interoceptive sensations, such as body functions and state, and on proprioceptive sensations that are the body and head and limbs postures and gestures, that is Body Intelligence,
Exteroceptive sensations, such as tactile pression and vibration, and temperature, and smells and tastes, and sounds and visions, that is the External Sensorial Intelligence,
When All feelings and senses are searched and received in One Complete experience of Life, it is the Life Intelligence, that is also usually called spiritual intelligence.
Human Intelligence that performs through Speech is the Spoken Intelligence, also usually called verbal intelligence, that is mostly conscious, including but not limited to numbers and other words, and that can be either:
Expressing feelings and sensations and images, that is the Expressive Spoken Intelligence, such as the spoken communicative intelligence and the narrative intelligence,
Reasoning by comparing and measuring and explaining and counting, that is the Rational Intelligence, that is used in reception of the mights (metaphysics), reasoning (logic), counting numbers and measuring forms (mathematics), external reception of the physical World (physics), and internal reception of the Self (psychics).
Human forms of Intelligence can be expressed through their corresponding forms of Expression:
Preservation Intelligence expresses as Preservation Expression, in situations of danger,
Emotional Intelligence expresses as Emotional Expression, that is mostly through the body and face and voice, and can be verbalised in speech,
Self Intelligence expresses as Self Expression, also usually called psychic expression,
Body Intelligence expresses as Body Expression, such as sportive and martial expressions,
Exteroceptive Senses Intelligence expresses as External Sensorial Expression, that are mostly artistic expressions,
Life Intelligence expresses as Life Expression, also usually called spiritual expression,
Spoken Intelligence expresses as Spoken Expression, such as social communication and narration and reasoning.
All forms of Human Intelligence that do not perform through speech or reasoning as a vector, thus that do not go through a conscious process of logic reasoning, but that perform directly on all and any senses and feelings and images, are the Intuition, that is mostly either subconscious either supraconscious, occasionally conscious.
Beings of lower complexity than Humans also have, within their Second Consciousness or Mirror Consciousness, the instinctive faculty to perceive continuity between events and similarities between things, thus Intelligence, that enables them:
To recognise other individuals and elements that share simple similarities,
To perceive continuity in simple sequences of events, to predict simple consequences from simple causes,
Thus, to acquire patterns of sensory receptions and emotions and behaviours that remain simple, as related to instincts of survival and reproduction and to emotional responses.
Their Intelligence is not Imaginative nor Rational as it is in Humans, but it is instinctive and emotional. Even though they cannot comprehend imaginative or abstract and rational concepts, they can understand emotional signals and expressions and behaviours and then express and behave accordingly.
When the Self goes through the Complete process from Life to Reception to Consciousness to Reflection to Imagination to Intelligence to Expression to Action to Results that themselves come back to Reception, then the Self reaches the state of Knowledge.
When the process is still incomplete and at an earlier stage than complete Knowledge, then it corresponds to other and lower states such as observation or information or reasoning or science or experience, but it is not complete knowledge,
Knowledge is the state of Completely experiencing and integrating and assimilating and understanding and comprehending something, including its feedback.
As Knowledge is a Complete state of Comprehension, it must be comprehended by both Intuition and Reasoning, both subconsciously and consciously,
Knowledge is acquired first in an Intuitive, subconscious, process, that is usually called experience,
But then it must be processed at least a second time or even more, through a Rational process that enables it to become completely reflected and imagined and spoken and reasoned, that is reasoning, to be consciously aware and assimilated and comprehended in all its main dimensions and qualities and aspects, to become true complete Knowledge.
And only with complete Knowledge can come both Wisdom, that is Complete Guidance, and Art, that is Complete Action.
