[MD] Chan and qi/eastern intellect

[Ron Kulp]

Marsha,
Again, you intuitively drive to the heart of the discussion. Excellent
post.
There is not one thing I could add.
-Ron


 From Krishnamurti:

Training the intellect does not result in intelligence. Rather, 
intelligence comes into being when one acts in perfect harmony, both 
intellectually and emotionally. There is a vast distinction between 
intellect and intelligence. Intellect is merely thought functioning 
independently of emotion. When intellect, irrespective of emotion, is 
trained in any particular direction, one may have great intellect, 
but one does not have intelligence, because in intelligence there is 
the inherent capacity to feel as well as to reason; in intelligence 
both capacities are equally present, intensely and harmoniously.

...If you bring your emotions into business, you say, business cannot 
be well managed or be honest. So you divide your mind into 
compartments: in one compartment you keep your religious interest, in 
another your emotions, in a third your business interest which has 
nothing to do with your intellectual and emotional life. Your 
business mind treats life merely as a means of getting money in order 
to live. So this chaotic existence, this division of your life 
continues. If you really used your intelligence in business, that is, 
if your emotions and your thought were acting harmoniously, your 
business might fail. It probably would. And you will probably let it 
fail when you really feel the absurdity, the cruelty, and the 
exploitation that is involved in this way of living.

Until you really approach all of life with your intelligence, instead 
of merely with your intellect, no system in the world will save man 
from the ceaseless toil for bread.
