Short story: Intelligence is not even knee deep in the Universe

Rabbi Shaho Rexospki, had been asked this question by one of his students
Is the Universe intelligent?
Here was his answer:
"I have heard that someone said that the Universe is not intelligent as a whole, but some think that parts of it have acquired some intelligence, like us, for example."
"The Universe is like a clock, that God has wound up, and set going, and so it is more mechanical, than intelligent."
"We are not intelligent, as a part of the Universe either. "
"We are essentially just the same as another hunk of rock, except that we have been injected with life, to allow us to live intelligently through that life, alive in us, linked into God, our creator, by our soul."
"Our brain is not intelligent either, as it is a mechanism too, and it is our soul, working from love, that intelligently can make use of its body, mind and brain."
"We acquire wisdom through life experiences, and wisdom is stored in our heart, as living truth."
"Real love is never found in a cracked teapot, only in an intact one."
"When we do not live from love, we are not living as God created as to live, but are living in a somewhat cracked teapot."
"This is because we allow love to escape through the cracks, without living from it first, and so, when we live fully from love, then love pours out of the spout, instead of from the cracks, and others can enjoy our love, as a welcome cup of tea to them too, rather than as distorted love, squeezing out of us through our cracks."
"Our mind can have such cracks in it, caused by wrong thinking, but our heart, living from a full love, has no cracks in it."
"The well-known American writer, Napoleon Hill, (1883 to 1970) once said:"
"'Action is the real measure of intelligence.'"
"but, I say that it should be changed to this instead:
"Love is the real measure of intelligence."
"As only by living from love, can you be intelligent. Love does work best through its actioning, though."
"A mind cannot be intelligent on its own, without love working through it"

The Universe is not alive to itself. We bring it to life through ourselves.

That is certainly true for some people, but others seem to have an innate intelligence in them too.
We need to keep growing our awareness, and intelligence, and our ability to love, as all three combined, will make wisdom in us then tooo.

In this regard, what do you think of the Universe having its own law that is unbreakable? Like, "Karma". And that we are little gods in our own ways because we can create our own realities?
Just curious about your view on this concept. Thank you.

@innertalks I see. Thanks for the response. So, there is still the One God who lords it all over the universe and us. Some people believe in many gods, and I don't know how they came to that conclusion.

@Jenaisle I think that early people looked at the Sun, and called that a God, and then the multi God idea spread from that.
The Indians have many Gods, from a monkey God, to even treating cows as sacred, for some reason.
Some religious people in India even claim to be God.

The Universe itself has no laws, as it is just the Universe, and the laws are placed on it, by God.
God created the Universe, and its laws too.
Karma is a spiritual law, not one of the physical laws of the Universe.
We could be said to be sons of God, but we are not God himself.
The greater reality is God's reality, and so our reality can never be more than just a subset of God's reality.
That is my view on it all.

I get to pick and choose because how most roll anyway. 
"Action is the real measure of intelligence." Its actually a measure of stupidity because can get you killed and many others with you. So you better choose your actions wisely, then its a measure of iintelligence. If you know what I mean. It was normally safe, but these days and in Nazi times, they kind of feel similar.

Yes, we need intelligence before any action, as action on its own is often foolhardy, and can get us killed, even when driving a car, but even more so, when we are fighting a war, we need planning, and forethought.
Even in a sport, we need smarts before action, as otherwise, with just action, we are bound to lose.
The mind is greater than the body in all of these things, but it has to be an intelligently trained mind, to operate the body optimally.

@crossbones27 Yes, Trump just plays his own trumpet, with no tune to it at all; he just makes it up as he goes along, by making loud noises at different places in his "untuned untune."

Excellent words from Napoleon Hill as well as your words of what you mention on this post.

Yes, if we just sit around not using our intelligence, we might as well not have it; we need to put it into action, but remember to keep love in our actions too, as otherwise, we might become power driven, rather than love driven.
One is a dictator, the other, a benefactor, both may have intelligence, but the right use of the intelligence reveals the heart of the user too.

"Living Planet" supports life.
Our planet is part of the universe though it itself looks so insignificant in the whole scheme of things.
I think the universe is built to be flexible but who made it and controls it is beyond us - it can be left to our imagination.
There should be some super power controlling the whole process - not our self-acclaimed ones which are more attuned to destruction and Might is Right!
We. on our part, can add value through our intelligence and awareness, They increase or decrease depending on our connection to our creator through our soul.
Sadly, we seem to prefer Harakiri than build on our inborn talents to step up.

We have no intelligence without our connecting to our soul, and to God, where the true intelligence comes through, as otherwise we are robots, automatons, that just work like clockwork. We get wound up, and then play our inbuilt tune for a while, without ever creating any new tunes, which takes intelligence to do.
Inbuilt talents are also in our soul, as a part of that, and our brain has nothing in it except for a large processor, no creative ability at all. This is why all of the great inventions have come through from soul, via dreams, and day dreaming.
Our mind sits between our soul, and our brain, and can increase in awareness, and consciousness, so can then work our brain in a better way too, but our mind, to be alive in us, requires the battery of love to be hooked into it too, as otherwise it is flat, with no charge to it at all.

@Shiva49 Life is merely following built-in programs without new input from our souls.
I would say that all life has some type of a higher purpose, and even a soul self attached to them. Nothing God created was created just on a whim, but has a connecting purpose to all else too.
Other species do not appear to have a high level brain processor, but I have heard it said that a great spiritual master can come back as a dog, to get a lesson across to one of their students, who did not get his message while they still lived. The master becomes this students pet dog to teach him some life lessons, and about the true role of love to.

@innertalks Everyone is given choices to lead their lives in whatever way they think they should.
Some are reactive with no preplanned goals.
A few think of the larger purpose and that life will go on in another realm.
So better to get prepared right here with a deeper involvement of our soul consciousness as otherwise it will remain dormant. Life will be repetitive when the physical body influences our decisions and the mind will be fickle too.
It looks like other species live to stay alive rather than have a higher purpose but we could well be wrong.
