Intelligence is one of the defining characteristics of human
beings: an inherent ability to respond to the world with awareness,
knowledge, learning, and insight. Most considerations of human
intelligence are based on the notion that intelligence is a product
of brain functioning. A. H. Almaas introduces here a radically
different viewpoint, one that recognizes an actual quality of
consciousness as the source of intelligence. He calls this source
the Brilliancy of our true nature.
The presentation of his understanding of intelligence is followed
by in-depth dialogues with his students on the various barriers to
recognizing and embodying this essential quality. In particular, an
unresolved relationship with one's father is found to shape the
experience of Brilliancy. Using a Socratic method that draws upon
techniques of body-centered, Gestalt, psychodynamic, and cognitive
psychologies, Almaas helps participants work through their defenses
and conflicts surrounding this issue and then, diverging from
pychotherapeutic practice, guides them in discovering their own
Brilliancy.
