There are no separate intelligences.
Just different ways of perceiving and expressing it.
Some SEE with spiritual eyes.
Some SEE with intellectual eyes.
Both one and the same. IN Reality.
Every-thing is interconnected to every-thing else.
Many different aspects of the whole.
Division is the illusion.
As all things are equally indwelt by intelligence,
so at all times in every way the uncreated is all, the self of all.
we use the expression 'all things'
it is only a figure of speech,
for only infinite consciousness or Brahman exists.
Just as there is no division between a bracelet and gold,
there is no division between the universe
and the infinite consciousness.
The latter alone is the universe:
the universe as such is not infinite consciousness,
just as the bracelet is made of gold but gold is not made of bracelet.
