What these have to offer is already clearly indicated in the word “intellect.” That is: A narrowing of the perceptive capacity to purely earthly matters, and thus to the tiniest part of real existence. By intellectuals we are to understand those who have unconditionally submitted themselves to their own intellect. This very limitation brings them a so-called peak of comprehension, which must lead to such arrogant presumptions because they believe that they really are standing at the ultimate height. This is actually true so far as they are concerned, since they have arrived at that boundary which they cannot cross. But their attacks on seekers for the Truth, so often inexplicably malevolent, clearly show, on closer observation, the whip of the Darkness brandished behind them. In most cases there is only blind fury, devoid of any real logic. Examine such attacks dispassionately. The inane inferiority of the attacks is always quite strikingly apparent from the very fact that these are never kept purely objective! They are always overt or covert smear campaigns against the person of the Truth-seeker. This is only done by someone who is incapable of replying objectively. After all, a seeker for the Truth, or a bringer of the Truth, does not give himself personally, but he brings that which he speaks. The word must be examined, not the person! It is a habit of the intellectuals to seek always to examine the person first, and then to consider whether they can listen to his words. Owing to the narrow limitation of their perceptive capacity, these people need such an outward hold because they must cling to externals to prevent them from becoming confused. Indeed just this is the hollow structure which they erect, which is inadequate for men and a great hindrance to their advancement. If they had a firm inner stability they would simply let fact speak against fact, excluding the personal element altogether. But this they are unable to do. Indeed, they intentionally avoid it because they feel, or partly know, that in a well-ordered tournament they would be quickly unseated. The intellect is and remains bound to time and space, that is to say earthbound; whereas the Godhead, and thus also the recognition of God and His Will, are above time and space and above all that is transitory, and therefore can never be grasped by the narrowly-confined intellect. For this simple reason the intellect is not qualified to bring enlightenment in eternal values. Indeed it would be a contradiction. Therefore he who in these matters boasts of university qualifications, and would look down upon those who are not so influenced, thereby declares his own incompetence and limitation. Only those with a calling can be true teachers. Those with a calling carry the ability within them. These abilities, however, do not ask for university training, but for the vibrations of a refined intuitive sensitivity able to soar above time and space, thus beyond the limit of comprehension of the earthly intellect. Moreover, any inwardly free man will always evaluate a matter or a teaching according to what it brings, not according to who brings it. The latter is the strongest possible evidence of the incapacity of the one who examines. Gold is gold, whether a prince or a beggar holds it in his hand. For those who are really seeking seriously do not permit themselves to be influenced by such distractions from examining the matter itself. But those who do allow themselves to be so influenced are not yet mature to receive the Truth. It is not for them. But the hour is not far distant when a battle must be waged which has been lacking so far. The one-sidedness will end, and a sharp confrontation will follow which will destroy all false presumption. *"In The Light Of Truth (Grail Message) by Abdrushin"*
Well, on a normal ways, people had more access to understanding existence directly in the old times because they had no choice but to work with it directly for their every dah survival and due to their work being directly with nature, their thinking too were creative and unsullied. This made them naturally attain a certain focus on deeper dimensions because they actually saw the cosmos directly without any indoctrination hence went deeper towards it. To go into deeper dimensions the work has to equally compliment otherwise it'd be like searching for water on a desert. Its tricky because once something is sullied, getting it back to its way is difficult. Sad that people are getting trained to think the other way.Great that they have enough time to change that
Ever thought of why one identifies with things? If no identification what will happen? Will we ever do anything? Or lets put it this way we will be free from all things of the world?. if we dont identify for quite a while how long can we set a practical limit to it. In fact I am asking do we need to be free from the world in state of no identification for how long. Dear Sadhguru you are saying things that I have known long before but because you bring it up I have revisited and it has brought tremendous change in me. Right now i think we all must protect our environment otherwise earth may not sustain our life. here we most certainly identify. how can humans all pray to GOD and screw up the environment.
If we have a cosmic identity then we can have a more vast intellect and can achieve the state of consiousness easily than before...if we become consious independent of memory then we will feel us as a part of earth...and hence we will stop harming environment as no one will ever half their own body

Shiva teaches Parvati about intelligence.... It's not intellect but pure intelligence that is the adi para Shakti...
