The text posits a gradual descent of intelligence from self-aware beings to inanimate matter1 . The highest form of life exhibits the highest intelligence, implying a supreme, ultimate intelligence as the principle of Life, evident in the universe's order.... Scientific advancements reveal intricate connections in this pre-existing order, suggesting a paramount intelligence inherent in the Life-Principle.
Evolution showcases a steady progression from nebulae to complex life, driven by a principle that ensures racial advance, even with individual losses, through a "Law of Averages".... However, higher intelligence narrows this margin of accident, substituting individual selection for averages, seen as the survival of the fittest.
A distinction exists between cosmic and individual intelligence, with individual volition being the differentiating factor, a culmination of cosmic evolution. Human beings, capable of abstract reasoning, represent the Life-principle recognizing its own evolutionary law. Future evolution necessitates humanity's conscious cooperation with this law through individual intelligence and effort. Nature obeys us as we obey Nature.
Higher intelligence involves recognizing self-hood, progressing from seeing others as separate (ego vs. non-ego) to seeing them as the alter-ego, an expression of the same Spiritual nature. This higher self-recognition empowers mental scientists by understanding the difference between Form (relative, conditional) and Being (absolute, controlling).
This higher recognition allows control over lower modes of Spirit that lack self-recognition and are bound by their own laws. A marvellous underlying intelligence permeates the cosmic scheme, inherent in a primordial substance, the root of grosser Matter. This substance has a self-forming intelligence, as intelligence is the essence of Spirit. Ultimately, Spirit contains the primary substance, creating "everything out of nothing" .
The ultimate foundation of Matter is Spirit, with a universal intelligence throughout Nature. This "Atomic Intelligence" in the primordial substance differs from Individual Intelligence.... Thought-power influences the material plane through the responsiveness of atomic intelligence to individual intelligence . The cosmic mind's evolution is a continuous intelligent response to environmental demands . Mental treatment relies on this responsiveness of lower Spirit degrees to higher ones; the mental scientist understands and utilizes this, unlike the uninstructed.
