4 subtle signs someone is really smart.
There are many levels of consciousness.
And for highly spiritual or divine beings, knowing what type of consciousness they interact with is necessary to “speak in their language”.
Speaking to a child as to an adult is not the same.
Well, in the world of spirituality, it is the same.
Moreover, if we assume that the higher your consciousness, the more you see things, the less reactive you are, and the better decisions you make, it is crystal clear that the higher your level of consciousness, the more intelligent you become.
And how do divine beings know the level of consciousness of others?
They all look at four things.
It is like a method of verification, which allows them to know to what degree of evolution each person with whom they relate.
1. Labels.
The level of identification with social labels clouds our judgment and prevents us from thinking objectively.
Highly spiritual people know this, so when they meet people self-defined mainly by their geography, political affiliation, family role, or career, they know their world vision is limited.
And therefore, their capacity for action is limited.
Only by using parallel thinking can they find new solutions to things.
But this type of person lives inside a box based on social labels and beliefs predetermined by their training and socio-cultural environment.
And that often prevents them from seeing beyond their personal or professional role. And those who cannot assume other realities as their lack empathy. This is not a sign of intelligence but quite the opposite.
On the contrary, even though they play a social and professional role, people who do not allow themselves to be labeled demonstrate a higher degree of spiritual evolution and, therefore, intelligence.
They know that they are much more than their position or family role.
2. Attachment to ideas.
Thoughts define you, it is true. But highly spiritual people have learned to see beyond the mental chatter.
And what they look at when determining how evolved someone is is the capacity for change.
They ask themselves, Does this person have an open mind?
And if the answer is no, they know they can’t be too bright.
And if they are, they will cease to be.
This was explained to me, a nun at the nun’s residence where my mother worked for many years.
The nun — who was very modern — told me, “If you don’t regularly update your smartphone, APPS won’t work.”
And it’s true. If you can’t change your mind, your thinking will become obsolete, and times vary as they update.
And you will end up with entirely outdated anachronistic thinking, which, as the nun explained, happened to the most brilliant minds in history.
Crystallization or attachment to ideas only leads to prejudice. And prejudice makes you anachronistic and ignorant. And that makes you reactive, irritable, and dogmatic. Reread it.
3. Habits.
The Jesuit monk Anthony de Mello once said, “Habits should be limited to the realm of mechanical things and not invade the realms of love or vision. No one likes to be loved out of habit”.
According to Anthony, habits form in people’s stereotyped ideas of things. This makes your world routine and static.
And in this world, there is only one thing sure: everything changes.
But suppose your habits and lifestyle prevent you from seeing the small daily changes in your relationships. In that case, you will take situations and people for granted without seeing what is new. When you realize it, these situations and relationships will have deteriorated because you have not adapted to the small daily changes.
This is something that complicates your life enormously. And therefore, it could be a not-intelligent attitude.
4. Attraction and rejection.
Divine beings are contemplative beings. They do not speak much, but when they do, they usually talk truths like fists, the fruit of their observations.
An old mystic poet I once knew told me, “It is your desires and your fears that are the engines of your reality.”
The poet knew that anything that took you out of your center and altered your heart could lower your IQ dramatically.
How many have not done crazy things to get what we long for?
How many of us have buried our heads in the ground like an ostrich, not to see the reality and thus self-deception for fear of a problem, making it bigger with our attitude?
Desire makes us say and do things in the heat of the moment.
Fear paralyzes us and prevents us from thinking clearly.
That is why divine beings know that worldly beings are too attached to their desires and fearful of losing what they have are people with much room for improvement regarding emotional intelligence.
Conclusion
Divine beings know if someone has a high consciousness and consequently possesses a great spiritual intelligence if,
- They are aware that they are not only their social and work roles; they are much more.
- They are aware that the world is changing and that their mindset has to be constantly updated so as not to become obsolete.
- They are aware of the small daily changes in situations and social relationships and do not take them for granted, which allows them to anticipate problems and adapt much better to the changing nature of reality.
- They are aware of their desires and fears and spend time transcending them to free themselves from their chains, return to their center, and make better decisions from a calm state.
I hope you fulfill the 4 points
