Thinking is not intelligence. A better way to look at it is that intelligence does the thinking, it’s not the thinking itself.

How Do You Find the Elusive You?
How do you find the elusive you? How do you do it? How do you find this thing that seems to be so elusive? You? That’s the big question, right? So much of what I talk about and what other non-duality teachers talk about is just talking in circles around finding this elusive you. When …
