Working With Inherent Intelligence
One of the significant differences between the old mechanistic worldview and the new, more systemic, organic and integral worldview, is in the degree and type of trust in what is.
In a mechanistic worldview, manipulation is required. Nothing happens on its own. The world is just a machine, and we need to intervene to create changes and make it work for us. Most of the time, we end up working against what is happening, trying to make it conform to our own ideas of how it should be.
In a more systemic and organic worldview, we appreciate and work with the inherent wisdom in the Universe. In ecological design, we work with the landscape, climate, local materials, wind, sun, water, and natural ecological process. We use the processes already there, and align ourselves with them. In medicine and psychology, we trust the inherent wisdom and healing processes of the system (body/mind, family, etc.) and just create the conditions for these to unfold. We get out of the way to allow the healing to take place.
Both approaches have their place. The mechanistic approach is good for working with certain types of machines and for acute conditions (physical/mental/bodily emergencies). And today, the organic approach may be more appropriate as a context and guideline in just about any other situation.
Some examples of the organic approach as applied to body/mind include... Breema, where we get out of our own way allowing the body/mind to decrystallize and reorganize according to its own inherent healing processes. Just being with what we are experiencing right now, again allowing the body/mind heal according to its own natural healing processes. And Byron Katie's inquiry process, unravelling the beliefs and knots temporarily hiding the innate infinite wisdom in the nature of Existence - the ground of our being and of all there is.

interesting ideas. Do you know about Nirubu? While in a coma, I had what I thought was a dream and was taken there. I recently found out that it is planet x. I know this may sound strange but, it is not as strange as what the nirubu dream was. I am a healthcare professional and do not share this information with anyone for fear that I am crazy. I seem to have gained vast knowledge since my coma that I call "inherent knowledge" the knowledge seems to be dormant until bridges are formed and the knowledge is revealed. If you have any information that may explain these happenings I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks, DFH dfhorton@gmail.com top

Hi DFH. I don't know about planets, but have some experience with inherent knowledge in a couple of different ways.
The simplest form is to explore what we already know through finding the truth in turnarounds. Take a statement that seems true to you, and find the grain of truth in each of its reversals.
It may seem mundane and not very exotic, but certainly brings out knowledge you already have but are not aware of, and can take you far beyond the worldviews/experiences you are (consciously) familiar with.
The other one was knowledge coming in a similar way as you described, but that one seems to happen more on its own. top

Interesting idea. Doesnt every system gather inherent intelligence. My organization for instance has some inherent intelligence gathered from past experiences. top
