I did not work by the Christian Rationalist Doctrine, I had not the happiness to get to know it and I could not; but my spirit as I was always a fighter, that faced difficult situations, I have known how to take advantage and how to improve. So today I work in the Higher Astral Pleiad… Martin Luther King Jr.

Intelligence and perception – by Luiz de Mattos

With regard to perception, various psychological factors are of weight. These factors cannot be defined in common language, although they represent real, easily recognisable values.

Two strong components of perception are intuition and inspiration, which are outstanding among the remaining spiritual qualities and play an important role in human action themselves.

Perception, which is closely related to discernment, sharpness, insight and sensibility, also exercises great influence over the field of observation because it discloses what propriety very often conceals.

When prudence interferes cautiously with man's determinations, it is still perception that provides the elements for decision.

Intelligence, the master quality of the spirit, affects all other qualities. It purifies them and contributes to make them better and more efficient.

The remaining spiritual qualities depend on intelligence. They are created, they grow, enlarge and improve according to the spirit's evolution.

Intelligence is a powerful ally of perfection. It makes the spirit realise its faults and try to correct them.

It guides reason and provides it with the means it needs to expand.

Intelligence is illuminating beyond comparison. It magnifies the spirit's range of outlook and is an instrument capable of dissipating darkness and destroying ignorance wherever they may be.
