24 THE THREE INTELLIGENCES

 

What is intelligence? One of the possible answers would be that it is the ability to solve problems in the most appropriate way. In my opinion there are three factors that intervene in what we normally call intelligence.

 

INTELLIGENCE PHYSICAL

 

It could be said that physical intelligence is the consequence of having a well-built and properly nourished body. It is also derived from the genetic evolution that the human species has had since the beginning of time. It could be said that the physical quality of each person is proportional to the quality of the genes they carry, because some genes are more evolved than others. Unfortunately, only a small part of humanity has a perfect gene pool, either because they have the best and most evolved genes or because they lack hereditary diseases. The most primitive genes are gradually discarded through the choice of partner, although this system does not serve to discover those defective genes that are more difficult to discover with the naked eye. The presence of diseased genes considerably reduces the effectiveness of the human being, therefore, it would be desirable for governments to become aware of it and work to eliminate them completely from the human species.

 

CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE

 

This type of intelligence does not arise from innate qualities, but from acquired wisdom, but it can make a person appear more intelligent. Therefore, those children who receive better training seem more intelligent even if it is only as a result of the effort invested by their parents in their education. Have a lot of memory can also be confused with intelligence, but keep in mind that whoever memorizes very fast to the only end acquires the theoretical truth of things and not Aute truth ntica, a slow process of learning pu and to be better to correctly understand something, because the information received must be followed by a deduction process.

 

SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE

 

Although after death the memories of previous reincarnations are forgotten so as not to interfere with the new life, nevertheless the spiritual intelligence remains. It could be said that this intelligence is the summary of what has been learned throughout a lifetime and is defined as a set of qualities rather than a sum of knowledge, and is preserved in successive reincarnations. After birth, spiritual intelligence slowly seeps into the human mind in the form of fleeting sensations of intuition and little by little it forges a different personality with respect to those around it. In the case of evolved spirits, their greater intellectual strength determines that their human mind gives way when they are immersed in a lower culture, this determines that in the end the higher mind of the spirit prevails. Then the evolved spirit becomes aware of being different and begins to develop a different life project. For this reason, intelligent children are very reluctant to get carried away by overly dominant educational systems.

It is also possible that a person has a perfect body but at the same time a simple mind, this can happen when the spirit is much more backward than the body it handles. However, when progress can clear up all scientific unknowns, these people will be able to benefit from that science, which will make up for their inner backwardness.

The fact that there are three factors that influence intelligence determines that it is very difficult to know which of them intervenes the most in a person's life.
