Spacial dynamics and the source of intelligence

When I sat today at a coffee place by a lake in Dubai, I suddenly sensed a vibe within me to come here and write down some words. The vibe brought me back Filiz’s words on Spacial Dynamics > MedicineWords.
How much are our moods, feelings, thoughts and actions affected by the energies of the space? How much are we aware of such energies, and how would it affect our life journeys if we become more conscious of them?
I strongly believe that every pattern of being holds a certain frequency, or let’s call it energy. These energies are not static, they are constantly moving and affecting each other. For a very simple example, when a human holds a stone in his hand, the energies of the stone and the energies of the person affect each other in a mysterious way. I call it mysterious, because it feels beyond our capacity to understand them.
Imagine if at the moment of touching the stone, all your feelings and thoughts get transfered to the stone through your energies. And the stone is affected in a way that not only carries the effects of your energies, but also all the energies of all the people, animals, snow flakes or winds that have touched it before. In a mutual way, the holder of the stone will also be highly affected by the energies held by stone. And when you extend this view to the environment around you, it gets massively complicated. Everything in the room highly affects everything else in a mysterious way. Just hold this thought for a moment within the space that you are sitting at right now and sense the level of complexity that we are talking about.
Well, it even goes much beyond that. Consider also the frequency of the neighborhood, the city or the village, the land and it’s history, the level of consciousness that people around you operate at, the position of the moon and stars … they are all highly affecting each other in a mysterious way.
Although this concept sounds incomprehensible by the capacity of the mind, at least within our modern paradigm, but there is a chance that we can sense it in a deeper level, with a source of intelligence that is not only in the brain, but in all the cells of our body as a whole. The intelligence that we are born with. Spending a few quality moments with a 3 months old will open us up to the reality that they are able to sense these energies the way we adults can’t. And not only babies. Horses, dogs, cats and mainly all the other living creatures have this deep sensing capacity. So why is it that the ‘most intelligent species’ on earth gets more and more disconnected from this source of intelligence while growing up.
One key point to look at is our understanding of ‘intelligence’ and the way we educate ourselves around that. A while back I was reading a dialogue between a ‘civilized man’ and a shaman about the importance of educating children. When it came to defining the intelligence, after hearing the ‘civilized’ perception of the intelligence, the shaman replied with a state of shock: how could you possibly think that the intelligence is something in our individual heads? And then he comprehended that, intelligence is a spirit that is everywhere, and we can sense it with the whole body and not only the brain. We can only become the tool for that intelligence to use us. We don’t own it!
So, are we still the most intelligent being on earth? Looking from the shaman’s perspective, the question is irrelevant. There is a chance that we are embedded within many levels of complex relationships, energies, frequencies, patterns or what ever else you wish to call it. The level of complexity is so much that is beyond the capacity of the mind, or is it? What if we remove all the distinctions between all the ‘things’ within that complex web and see it is a whole? What if it’s just one massive cloud of energy in constant movement? And what if this movement of energy is the ‘intelligence’ itself?
How can we design our learning journeys from that source of intelligence?

yay, this piece stirs so many threads in me!
I remember feeling very attracted to massive rocks and sleeping on them at powerful places, like machu picchu, as if to let their energy and information sink into my body/consciousness during sleep. I find it a powerful way of communication…
I also think of process work/deep democracy in which we tap into body wisdom as a tool to access the wisdom of our unconscious. there are some exercises in which you visualize a natural place of power and inspiration for you and you pose a question, feeling the support and wisdom of that natural place…
such exciting work!

I am happy it strikes a cord in you! And with what you are saying I am more curious about Deep Democracy. I have a sense that something wants to be weaved between us.
