A Teachable Moment

There are two trends operating in humanity at this time, of which all other trends are sub-sets, or particular expressions.

Those trends are:

the trend toward a regenerated, higher civilization
the trend toward the fall of civilization

Even in the trend toward the fall of civilization, there may be a regenerative virtue, which we may call, "rebuilding from the ashes". That's "doing it the hard way." There is an easier way.

"... all moments are teachable..."

The "easier way" entails:

people freeing themselves from the limitations of all that they know -- all of which people experience as stress patterns -- or states-of-readiness
people waking up their faculties, so that they can operate at a higher-level of intelligence

However, this is not a "common-sense" option; it's a "beyond common sense" option, it's a "playing with a full deck" option, a "tuning the engine and getting all cylinders firing" option, a "getting the wheels aligned", one foot "on the accelerator", other foot "off the brake" option; a "the lights are on, and somebody is actually home" option, a higher intelligence, higher integrity option. It's not the common way or the commonly known about way. Comprendez vous? It's an entirely new option.

It's a "smarty-pants" option: it will make you capable of being a "smarty pants", "smarter than the average bear" -- and maybe of getting away with it, in public, vocally and actively

Get firing on all cylinders. Awaken your faculties so they serve you instead of your having to clean-up after them, when you function poorly. Free your intelligence to function, better.

THE BIG TEACHING

FIRST STEP: PREPARATION: FUTURE-PACING | CONNECTING THE DOTS):

turning all of your faculties on and bringing them on-line
becoming more coherent (higher-integrity) in thought and action

Feel the intuitive ring of it. That's the first step.

SECOND STEP: THE FOUR FACULTIES of INTELLIGENCE

open-ness, receptiveness: the open mouth "petitioning the Unknown Unknown" for a "dispensation": imagining the emergence of a new, unknown "something" with sufficient intensity that "the thing imagined" goes into memory
penetrating force: focusing our felt-intention for "that something" to exist
endurance: "that something" being sufficiently persistent that it can interact with life's forces and still keep integrity without being destroyed or distorted beyond recognition
having a place: being a center of emerging, persistent influence

Feel the intuitive ring of it. That's the second step.

THIRD STEP: GETTING ALL FOUR GOING

There are structured, repeatable ways to get all going and to integrate them.

Here's one (very basic, but very focusing) procedure,

called, "Identifying The Crown Jewels of Functional Intelligence":

(imagining [ * ] originating [ * ] unknown unknown):
otherness

(intending [ * ] tendency [ * ] existing):
difference

(remembering [ * ] integrity [ * ] persisting):
relatedness

(attending to [ * ] placing [ * ] location):
distinct "separateness"

You may have noticed your mind momentarily becoming "amorphous" (losing fixed definition), as you read those four; you might have felt a sense of intuitive deepening, some changes in the shape of your state of tension -- if not the first time, likely after a few times of running through the Crown Jewels.

That's one of the things that happens as the four come on-line, as you awaken your faculties, as you get all of your "cylinders firing".

FOURTH STEP (launch): PUTTING INTO ACTION, IN LIFE'S SITUATIONS, "THAT SOMETHING" THAT HAS EMERGED

As you go through life, naturally, situations will come to your attention, from time to time, that arouse the will in you to bring about what you sense intuitively to be good.

When you apprehend those situations, in a state in which your faculties are awake, in which you are firing "on all cylinders", creative impulses -- ingenious ideas -- may come to mind.

You put them into action.

"FIGHT-FOR" vs. "WORK FOR"

"Fight-for" is the maxim of those in whom creativity is experienced as a fight-against-odds. It is the maxim of those who are not "firing on all cylinders", even who are in hidden, internal conflict with themselves, the "frictional-influence" of which they attribute to others.

"Work-for" is the maxim of those in whom a creative impulse has arisen with sufficient coherence, intensity, integrity, and particular applicability to have enough "juice" to be self-powering. The sense of "fighting-against-odds" is much less, for people in that state; therefore, it just feels like, "working-for".

THE LIVING TEMPLATE OF CREATIVE INTELLIGENCE

This is an "integrity template" -- or "example of form" -- that may be applied in every moment and situation of challenge. Integrity always helps, isn't it so?

Best to start with the first step.

I have there provided the means by which those who would exercise creative initiative may ...

empower themselves to function creatively, to advance the well-being of themselves and of humanity,
weather (withstand) the turbulence between themselves and those who would engineer and exert an anti-truth, anti-civilization, anti-evolutionary flatulence

Any moment may turn out to be a teachable moment.
