I Know the Pieces Fit

Knowledge is not key... But learning is. Knowledge is only a retroactive process, i believe that hinders you from reaching that so-called "next level" of intelligence. I believe that while in the process of learning the unthinkable is possible. Look at the current technology in contrast to the mindset of hundred of years ago. All inventions started in the process of learning how to materialize an application of an idea. The book "The Einstein Factor" written by Dr. Win Wenger, who has more than 25 yrs experience in the field of accelerated learning, notes that glial cells, axons and dendrites are the key components for the connections between neurons (brain cells) which have, according to an experiment by Marian Diamond showed to increase intelligence. We can also attribute a longer lifetime to this phenomena. We should never be satisfied with just what we know, but we should always strive to know more. There is enough mystery to the physical and metaphysical world to always keep wondering. I, myself, like to ponder music which is an artist's interpretation of the oneness. The oneness is the summation of everything but the biggest barrier to the oneness is the mind. Drugs, like LSD and cocaine stop the brain and allows the oneness energy to flow. Personally, the best band to listen to is Tool. As author Erhart Tolle explains to us in his books, the human society is a collective conscious rather than groups of individuals. If that is true, then we can recognize the oneness flowing through other channels (ie other people). Much as koans were used by zen masters, Tool using their music to silence the mind and listen to the flow of energy that connects us all. Learning and learning how to "turn off the mind" make us more intelligent people and bring us closer to 'god'.
