The Use of a Greater Intelligence

There is an aliveness in you that you can feel with your entire Being, not just in the head. Every cell is alive in that presence in which you don’t need to think. Yet, in that state, if thought is required for some practical purpose, it is there. The [thinking] mind can still operate, and it operates beautifully when the greater intelligence that you are uses it and expresses itself through it.

Eckhart Tolle

from Stillness Speaks
