To cultivate intelligence, one must be willing to let go of past conditioning from "summary" of The Awakening of Intelligence by J. KRISHNAMURTI
Intelligence is not merely the accumulation of knowledge or the ability to analyze and memorize information. True intelligence goes beyond the limitations of conditioned thinking. It requires a willingness to let go of the past conditioning that shapes our beliefs, opinions, and perceptions. When we are attached to our past conditioning, we are unable to see things as they are. Our minds are clouded by preconceived notions and biases that prevent us from truly understanding the world around us. To cultivate intelligence, we must be open to new ideas, perspectives, and experiences. Letting go of past conditioning does not mean rejecting our past entirely. It means being willing to question our beliefs and assumptions, to examine them with a critical eye, and to be open to the possibility that we may have been wrong. It requires a certain humility and curiosity to explore the unknown and to challenge our own thinking. By letting go of past conditioning, we create space for new insights and understanding to emerge. We become more flexible in our thinking, more open to different viewpoints, and more receptive to the complexity and ambiguity of the world. This freedom from the constraints of conditioning allows intelligence to flourish and evolve. The process of letting go of past conditioning is not easy. It requires courage, self-awareness, and a willingness to confront the discomfort that comes with questioning our deeply held beliefs. But the rewards of cultivating intelligence are worth the effort. It leads to greater clarity, insight, and wisdom, enabling us to navigate the complexities of life with greater ease and understanding.
