Is Being Smart Dangerous?

[Hermann]

I can't help see everything as personal. Does anyone else question their own stage of evolution when driving (I certainly do)? Or the impatience we feel at the checkout? How do we as "smart people" respond? Why are we then saddened and revolted by the ways in which we harm ourselves, one another and the planet?

Hi ninja:

We "smart people" are motivated largely by our emotions. If this is not satisfactory, then what should our motivator be?

Intuition?

This means abandoning ourselves to the pure experience of being, and acting spontaneously and intuitively, directly from the depth of that experience. Since the pure experience almost always is of a unitive nature, the action arsing from it would be unitive rather than divisive.

Thinking, too, is a form of action. Then our thinking would also be unitive.

And the main emotion arising from the unitive experience is unitive love. If we are motivated by this emotion, then we cant' go too wrong.
