In a previos post Paul Scheele comments a little about a paradigm called "Infinite Intelligence", could anyone explain more about this?
thanks..
You have access to all the knowledge in the Universe within yourself, at some level or other.As our conscious minds cannot hold vast amounts of data at any one time, the majority of of the data is stored in the subconscious levels of our mind, and retrieved when needed.
Also in the subconscious there is knowledge that we have never even consciously thought before.Therefore we cannot retrieve it by specifically asking for it, because if we don't know what it is, then how can we ask for it? To get around this we must have an intention for what we want, without having to know the specifics.I'll give you an example of what I'm talking about so it will be totally clear to you:
Scenario 1: Imagine you are marooned on a desert island and you have nothing to eat.You have a book with you titled "how to survive on a desert island", but you don't care for it and would rather trust your own instincts.Right next to you there is an apple tree (yeah apples, I don't like coconuts!).However let's imagine that you have never seen apples before in your life.In fact let's imagine that you've lived your whole life eating microwave instant packaged food and you have no conscious idea that food grows naturally.So you're sat there and you're really hungry but as far as you're concerned, there is no microwave or packets so there is no food.As you become desperate with hunger, you send out a strong and powerful intention for food.This inspires you to explore your surroundings, without really knowing why you're doing it.I mean there isn't going to be a microwave on a desert island, but you wander around looking for food anyway.The reason you do walk around is because the infinite intelligence within you knows full well that the plentiful apples will feed you, will keep you alive.The infinite intelligence is guiding you to have to wander towards the apple trees.How does this intelligence know? Well it knows because within you is access to all the experiential intelligence that there is, because it is connected to everything else.Imagine within your subconscious mind there is an Instant Messenger program with infinite contacts who can answer any question.So the message centre in your subconscious is told the info it needs, and now it is trying to tell your conscious mind this info that you need! The problem occurs because often we're not so receptive to being guided from within.We'd rather just trust in what we already know.
So after some time as you wander around your desert island, you're drawn out of curiosity towards the apples.You pick one from the tree, smell it and eventually take a small bite.Aha! although at first it seems mighty strange to you that you're eating something that grows from a tree, it does taste good! Now your conscious mind knows that apples are good to eat, you're saved from starvation.
Ok, now imagine the same very scenario as above, only this time you are willing to read the book that you conveniently have with you titled "how to survive on a desert island".Ok, so your beliefs are still that you need a microwave and packaged processed food in order to eat.You also need the power supply to run the microwave.It seems to you unlikely that you will survive.But as your strong purpose is to survive, you pick up the book and start to read it.The book is at least one thousand pages long and so you get right into conventionally reading it from start to finish.The book tells you how to survive on numerous types of desert islands, with different types of trees and fruits, and if the island has any edible animals, how to make a fire, weapons, etc.The problem is that you've never even heard of the word "fruit" and so when the book mentions "eat the fruit for food" you just ignore that because it is meaningless to you.By page 300 of conventional linear reading it becomes clear to you that this book is not benefiting you in any way, and so you give up.After some time you die of starvation, because we have the belief that if the book couldn't save us, then we're doomed.Sad ending huh! Good job we're photoreaders: See scenario three!
Now scenario three is the same scenario, only now we are a photoreader and so we photoread the book and use advanced activation techniques to get our questions answered.Whereas with the last scenario we gave up after reading 300 pages (who wouldn't! 300 pages and no answer is ridiculous! in anyones book! lol!) this time because we're not reading in a linear fashion, so we get a good grasp of what the whole book has to offer.Suddenly when super reading you see a small picture on page 900 of something that looks familiar.Yes it is a picture of a tree with green ball shaped things hanging from it, just like the one that is on your island.So you dive in to investigate more, and read that in fact these green ball things are called "apples" and you can eat them!!! Hallelujah!
Ok now when we look at scenario 1, we find that we can survive without any books at all.We can simply rely on our infinite intelligence.However because books are a part of our world, because the written/printed word is so widespread in our culture, we look to it to guide us.We believe in it because we have forgotten that we know it all already.Therefore scenario 2 is the likely place most people find themselves in.
And when the book, read in a linear slow fashion, does not quickly answer their questions, then they feel they are doomed.
So, you may well ask, we know that photoreading and advanced activation techniques are better than conventional reading, but why not leave photoreading as well and instead just rely directly on our instincts?
That is a valid point, and my answer is that we should look at scenario 1 again.See how time passed and the marooned person was on the point of starvation before they finally began to explore and be drawn to try things that they very much believed were no good for them (but in fact were,ie: apples!).
So you can see that it is a process that absolutely works.But you can also see that until we come to a point of absolutely trusting our inner guidance, regardless of any outlining beliefs, then that process will be slowed down by those beliefs.
What photoreading and activating do is they bridge the gap between what we already know and what we believe.The PRWMS is awesome because it gets inline with why people wrote things down in the first place.People wrote things down, not because they needed to, rather because they knew the advantages of it.This "infinite intelligence" is within all of us, and none of us are born into the world needing to learn anything from a book.However we also know that the access to this infinite intelligence can be stymied by beliefs.But we also know that eventually, as in scenario 1, we will trust our instincts when it is essential to do so, and we will forget our beliefs.What the written word does is it speeds up the process of accessing the infinite intelligence, by changing blocking beliefs quicker.It just speeds it up, it doesn't add anything.The written word doesn't add something to a part of me that was missing, because nothing is missing! What it does though is it does speed up the activation of who the greater part of me is.
The PRWMS really gets us back to the essence of why we use the written word.If it were not for us getting into the habit of reading in a linear style, then situations like scenario 2 would never occur.But scenario 2 does often occur, and so many people see reading as essential (rather than a benefit) and a great struggle requiring much effort.
Is it any surprise then that most people end up resenting words because there are so many contained in big intimidating books or in huge amounts on the web, instead of seeing the great benefits and joys of the written word.And that is why if I were now to teach somebody photoreading I wouldn't tell them it was called photoreading.First I would explain to them the situation, as I have done in this post, and then I would get into the PRWMS technique, calling it something like:
"How to, via the written word, bring online the communication routes from your conscious mind to your subconscious infinite intelligence mind"
Thanks!
