What about everything else we have heard or read? What if anything, comes under the heading of truth? We will not personally know until we experience it. There are intellectuals who sometimes will talk and teach about what different philosophers through history have thought about truth. I wonder how many of them have really experienced the truths they intellectualize about.
Original thinkers are original because they have personally experienced in some way at some time what they then think and talk about. They are open to experience life before they intellectualize about the experience. Intellectuals on the other hand will think about experiences, analyze them, compare them to others' experiences and philosophies and come to conclusions about what is the truth. I choose to be an Original Thinker because I choose to be open to experience life before I think about it and analyze it. Being open to receive experience (through the right brain), I can then learn from it, understand it, analyze it and know it (through the right and left brain). Having the experience and the knowledge of the experience together give me the wisdom of all of life everywhere.
Everyone can be an Original Thinker. To become an Original Thinker, one needs to "listen and go beyond what the conscious mind can conceive at any given time". We are all limited by our own intellectual abilities, but we can go beyond them through our experiences of listening to all there is to know.
Through our personal meditations, we listen to and experience the highest intelligence within ourselves. That is a true meditation - going beyond the analytical thinking of the human mind to experience the source of truth.
In conclusion, whether one has many degrees and titles or not, whether one is an intellectual or not, all can become divinely inspired Original Thinkers by doing their daily meditations in order to experience the source of truth.
Love and Light - Namaste,
