Magic of the Intellect (Buddhi)
In chapter 11, pg 126 of your Meditation Pictorial book, there is a line as below:
It works and re-works stored information and ideas.
What exactly does the mind do with the stored information before it is viewed by the core-self? Does it process the information, change it, or tries to put the information in a particular order for core-self to view or tries to re-store it in a particular order ?
What exactly do you mean by works and re-works?
Mi~Beloved’s Response:
The buddhi intellect orb is the part of the mind which works this information. It takes memories and fresh news about a topic or subject and reviews these over and over to garnish support or denial from the information.
There are two main uses of the information. One is support the activities which must be done to bring about a certain desire. The other is to squelch or cease activities because those movements will cause frustration of desire.
Once there is a desire, the next step is to bring on the fulfillment of the same but the kundalini psychic life force needs assistance to make this happens. Its friend or ally is the buddhi intellect orb which gets busy procuring permissions for manifesting the desire and making the entire psyche be up and it to bring this about. If however the buddhi finds information which states that the desire will cause pain and hardship, it will bring forward this information and that action will cause the psyche to be reluctant to manifest the desire. It will then send a negative or retardative energy to the kundalini, which will cause inertia or failure to act or slowing of the actions to a stop.
The intellect works and reworks information, just as a laborer in a factory might turn and twist an item to examine it to see if it is suitable for the purpose intended. However the mind does this in split seconds like a superfast juggler where you cannot see what he is doing because of the rapidity. Once the calculations and examinations are made in those split seconds, the intellect presents a conclusion to the core-self which for its part, agrees to the conclusion even if that idea is totally counterproductive or even if the idea is totally false.
Because the core-self is reliant on the intellect for this calculative and analytical service, it, the core-self, must accept the conclusions of the intellect come what may. It must endorse these conclusions even if they are wrong. We experience this day after day, this helplessness which we have in reference to the influence of the intellect. But it all happens in split seconds and thus we have difficulty observing it in detail
