🌻.  Intelligences in Nature 🌻

When we talk to a friend, we feel and experience the entire person and don’t just think of his skull, his eye balls, or his skin. This friend, we know in his entirety, which covers all his details like a mask. 

We see the shirt, but not the fibers of which it is made of. We drink a glass of water, but we don’t see the intelligences which make up the characteristics of water. 

They are hidden and let the viewer see only the whole. The observing consciousness, too, is a result of many working forces and not only one thing.

When we study nature in its purest sense, for example when we look at how a magnet shows north and south, the question arises why it acts that way. 

The scientist says it is the nature of the magnet, but that doesn’t explain why it is so. Is there an intelligence in the magnet that causes it to react that way? 

This question refuses any kind of orthodox, scientific reasoning, because, there, intelligence is an exclusive aspect of the biological kingdom.

We have two eyes, ears, and nostrils; two hands, feet, lungs; and a certain number of teeth and bones. There exists a consciousness of numbers, which already works in an embryo and helps with the formation of shapes. 

Historians say that some of the numbers were discovered in ancient Egypt, some in India or Crete – from the perspective of the wisdom teachings, this is absurd. The teachings say that numbers are a form of consciousness in nature, which is called Kapila in the East. 

It is said that Kapila gave the secret of numbers to the world: Sankhya. Now, historians are searching for a date where Kapila, the author of the Sankya-Philosophy may have lived. 

Some claim he lived around 500 B.C.E., other think he lived 1200 A.D.. The wisdom of numbers, however, has existed since the beginning of creation in form of consciousness, an intelligence in nature.

There are several groups of intelligences which generate the different stages and layers of creation. 

Modern science does not recognize them, but in the scriptures they are referred to as devas, angels, or archangels. Of them, it is said that they glorify the Lord before his altar. 

This means, that these beings confirm the existence of the one Creator. Deva means being of light. There are many of such lights: devas of cosmic, solar, and planetary order. 

The sum of all lights in the universe is called Devi, the Mother of the World. All devas emerge from Devi, because she is the light of the world. 

The Vedas call her Aditi, the primal light. She is worshipped as the feminine energy, because she is the radiation of eternal existence. 

Every light is a part of the One Light. Enlightened teachers are also called devas, Guru Devas, for they teach others to find the Light.
