making them their basis of knowledge. This happens as this comes easy and through an automatic learning process of observance and experience, just by living and being part of society and cultures. It is very much like the crow, which has high observatory intelligence. The crow learns fast and good; learning from ambient milieus by observing humans and others. In contemporary world, there is no dearth of ‘sources’ offering ‘recipes’ of successes in all aspects of life-living. Millions of books are written every year. We all know how loads of celebrities, icons and even ‘experts’ are churning out billions of stuffs on YouTube and through social-personal media. Most of them are geniuses of ‘Parts’ and therefore actually work their ways into minds of average people to kill or negate Reality. Fake and wrong information is what average human usually gets from milieus and imbibe through innate ‘observational intelligence’. This is calamitous.

That is why it is important to briefly talk about why true and right knowledge is tough and rare acquisition and how most people land in troubles of life-living because of their ‘easy and auto’ learning, without any personal initiative and enterprise. There is a famous story, which speaks about how people land in trouble by having ‘misinterpreted’ information as knowledge.

There was renowned teacher in ancient times. He had many disciples but one of them was very weak at learning. After the end of learning, the teacher called this student and told him, ‘You could not learn anything I taught and as it is now time for you to go home and start your worldly life, I wish you to always remember only one sentence and follow it’. The student was happy and assured the teacher that remembering and following just one line wisdom was easy and he would always follow. The teacher told him, ‘Always follow what big people do’. The student nodded and left the teacher’s academy to go home. En route, he reached a place where two separate and opposite roads were branching. He was confused as which road he should take. Soon, he saw five people coming and taking the left road. All five men were tall and bulky and were having loads of carriage with them. He thought, my teacher asked me to follow big people and they are surely not only ‘Big’ but huge and they also have ‘Big’ possessions with them. I must follow them. He followed the five men. These five men were robbers and were going back after a successful loot at a nearby village. Very soon, the soldiers of the king arrived and after a short fight, all robbers were captured. The soldiers also beat this poor student, whom the soldiers took as robbers. He cried and tried to tell the truth but the soldiers tied him in ropes and took him to king’s prison. The poor student blamed his teacher for all his troubles as it was his advice of ‘Following Big’ people, which landed him in this trouble.

This story points out to the fact that how ‘partial’ and ‘shallow’ knowledge creates trouble for most people. The reality of ‘Big’ has many shades and different people, with variegated mind consciousnesses shall always take subjectively diverse meanings. All these ‘part’ meanings, in all realities and that too segregated, are the trouble of humanity. The missing ‘Holism’, which ‘emerges’ after assimilation, integration and synthesis of all possible ‘parts’ is the ‘flavor’ or tastefulness of life-living. That is why it is a complex and massive situation.

We need to have knowledge of different ‘parts’, which we have earlier referred as ‘ingredients’. We need to have knowledge and experiences of wide spectrum of probable meanings and causalities, the ingredients or ‘parts’ may have. And then; we must have good mastery of the ‘processes’ the ‘parts’ undergo and can undergo to create the ‘emergence’ of Holism of Reality. This is primary hypothesis for Science and Art of Sanity and Bliss. This is bare basics of Grammar of Life and Poetry of Living. We shall talk about all possible aspects of this science and art in this eBook. We shall list out ideas and practicalities, which shall lead us to master the craft of poetry in our personality and living world.

There is a reality, called Intellectualism, which has been debated and differed since ages. It is still not clear, what Intellect truly means and whom we can say a true Intellectual. This question is important because, once we arrive at one common and singular definition of Intellect; we can call upon this idea of Intellectualism to successfully understand many core and critical ideas about life-living and holism of wellness.

As we have hypothesized earlier, multiplicity of perceptions of a singular reality may be the seed of all human troubles but still, it is a huge resource for us as it allows different probabilities to fetch and add novel dimensions to the ways we experience satisfactions and joys. That is probably a joy, which we humans have not yet learnt to relish in its holism. As mentioned earlier, in our populist cultural mind training to be ‘successful’, we usually chase only those single or restricted few ‘Realities’, which society benchmarks as ‘eligibility’ for success. This narrowed and ‘part’ success takes us away from holism of Reality.

Society and cultures require us to be geniuses of ‘parts’ and stand in denial and oblivion of rest of the holism of Reality. That is why science says; successful people kill reality. Some evolutionary biologists hypothesize that evolution itself works this way. Evolution designed human cognition in a way, which restricts lot many aspects of Reality and makes it accept ambient Reality through a restrictive window of perception to optimize survival. This survival single-mindedness, no doubt, comes only when consciousness is focused only on one desire. You already know; this singular focus also guarantees ‘successes’ in our lives. Cultures somehow, innately follow the restrictive but critical drives of humanity. Evolution does not ‘trust’ conscientious human intelligence and therefore, ‘wires’ all drives in subconscious processes. Cultures also brilliantly enforce evolutionary requisites, wiring them in fixed rituals. Laws are no aberrations! If we look around and know, how different animals, birds and other complex organisms have some specialized and exclusive body-brain faculties to facilitate some specific behavior-action; we can understand how our own gateways to visualize and accept Reality are very restrictive and limited.

We know there is now a singular and globally accepted common regimen and methodology about how to raise and train your pet dog puppy. It is broadly common, with minor changes for different dog breeds and geographical diversities. However, there is no singular common universal idea and methodology to raise and grow a human child. It is primarily because we have not yet decided a singular and universal idea and definition of Intellect. As the Intellect is not singular, the idea of right and wrong is also not yet singular. Not only we humans do not agree, we fight over it and ensure that every time, the multiplicity of perceptions must settle in favor of our own personal and subjective acceptance of a reality. The war is always on and brutally manifested in cultures, politics and life-living. That is why it may help us a great deal, if we could settle with a workable basis or hypothesis of Intellect. No doubt, we shall do it with the help of modern and contemporaneous knowledge of pure science; not abstract philosophy or pop psychology.

If I could be allowed a privilege, for a moment, to request you to keep aside your instinctive and visceral perceptions about Realities; as you have been accepting since long, I would attempt to enlist the twin themes, which I may very humbly say, defines, identifies and shapes True and Real Intellect –

This ever evolving and constantly maturing ability to allow and lead one’s cognitive entrepreneurship to journey all ‘Landscape of Probabilities’, without much trepidation and painfulness. The neural network of brain is brilliantly probabilistic and if Consciousness does not inhibit it, with barriers of fear, insecurities, dogmatic diktats and cultural benchmarking of successes; it facilitates and engenders novel and even ‘bizarre’ cognitions. This in turn opens up the portals of novel and alternative experiences. More cognitive liberty we allow and welcome to our Consciousness; larger and better are the dimensions of emergent experiences. This is magnificent profitability and possession. This Intellect leads us to true and real richness.

This ever evolving and constantly maturing ability to systematically ‘unlearn’ the old-archaic and archetypal cultural mind and its acceptances to galvanize the installation and entrenchment of novel, objective, scientific ‘learning’; facilitating and expanding the landscape of probabilistic cognitions, as mentioned above. Unlearning clears and weeds out the conscious-spaces, which our old, archaic and populist cultural insinuations installed since we were born. This creates a willing and new space for novel and alternative experiences. This Intellect leads us to true and real richness.

These twin elements of anyone’s consciousness are now hugely facilitated by the exponential advancement of scientific information in so many domains of knowledge; especially in the domains of neuroscience, molecular biology and artificial intelligence. The good or bad thing about this ‘enrichment’ is the fact that this knowledge is not an asset or property, like a house, car or jewelry. Knowledge is not static and therefore ephemeral. As knowledge and information in contemporary world is growing exponentially; knowledge is never a lasting asset but a step towards further and higher journeying. Knowledge and wisdom is like a constant journeying; in dialectical cyclicality of learning-unlearning-learning (Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis). That is why; not even a stupid like me should ever be in any misconception that knowledge can ever be a property. It is always a catalytic agency; very much like Money we have, to facilitate ‘conveniences’ for certain resources, which in turn create launch pad of wellness for knowledge acquisition.

What we have enlisted above about the Reality of Intellect is its probabilistic, multidimensional and evolving-emergent character. This is how all realities are. Therefore, Intellect is also just a part of the holism of Reality and therefore must reflect the innate and embedded properties and propensities of Reality, in its objectivity and Holism. In fact, all realities, which we humans accept; has to be in sync with probabilistic nature of macrocosmic reality.

Though, it is not prudent to define the reality of Intellect in a set of words, still; we must do it so that we have the convenience of internalizing the idea and practice it with some element of definitiveness. But, it must be borne into our minds that the definition is only for a practical purpose of imaging or symbolizing of a reality. It can never be the true holism of Reality.

So, we can say, True Intellect means this mindfulness-thoughtfulness and poised acceptance, of mechanism and processes of body-mind and its constant interaction with milieus, which allows a person to journey the innumerable probable shades and aspects of Reality, in complete joyfulness-contentment; consciously not allowing instinctive fear-insecurities of subconscious-unconscious brain plexus to vitiate this journey by proposing reverse-antagonistic actions and behaviors.

To simplify it and put it in one sentence – Intellect is a Consciousness of Probabilistic Acceptance of Reality. To make it simpler – Intellect Is Landscape; Not Buildings. To be more specific – Intellect is True Expression of Reality.

It is very interesting to mention here, how this definition of Intellect very much matches up with the latest scientific assertion of Reality. Top scientists of contemporary times say; Theoretical Physics has no theories about Reality. It only has landscapes to offer. The string theorists term the ‘Landscape’ as infinite domain of probabilities. In this hypothesis, even the universe is accepted not as one uniform and homogenous entity but a conglomeration of spaces, which can be accepted as Fields or Landscapes; having different probabilistic properties. In this light, when physics of Reality itself is Landscape, it is probably only truly appropriate to accept this hypothesis that Intellect must also be this singular perspective to accept, journey and enjoy the landscape of probabilities.
