Goals: To make the children understand the concept of guaranteed intelligence and emotional attachment- the road blocks on the highway of intelligence.

Click: Intellect vs. intelligence:

About the topic: Your past can become a part of your intelligence if you allow it to teach you, if you approach it with pure consciousness, with a witnessing mood, without having positive or negative emotional attachment. Positive emotional attachment means love for that memory. Negative emotional attachment means hatred for that memory. Understand, the memory of the past itself is never a problem. Only the emotional attachment to it is the problem. Guaranteed intelligence is to handle life – if we look around there is continuous intelligence and energy that exists to solve your problems. Bliss provides energy to face and solve problems. When you are not blissful, that energy is used to create more problems. That is the problem, when you are blissful you disconnect from worries and use the energy to solve problems. In a physiological sense also, researchers have found that when the “bliss” chemical dopamine is released into the body, the frontal lobes in the brain which are primarily responsible for intelligence and wisdom start working much more efficiently. When you are really

Intellect vs. intelligence: Life is not logic. It cannot be explained with the mundane logic and intellect. It happens in a plane much higher than the intellect. The intelligent person lives moment to moment, not through logic. The intellectual person is like a photograph he has the imprint of the past on him. The intelligent person is like a mirror, he reflects and responds to reality and is therefore spontaneous. The intellect is a beautiful mechanism but only as long as it remains a tool. It should not become the controlling power. Intellect is imaginative but not creative. Intelligence is creative. The very source of intelligence is clear visualization. Pure and clear visualization expresses the total concept in one glimpse.

Creating self confidence is almost like a survival need just how you need food to survive. You need confidence on your self to survive. You need constantly, you need to support yourself, I am right I am right I am right. Only then you can survive. That is why you can see all your actions, all your actions you go on justifying that I am right I am right I am right whatever you do you go on justifying that is the basic way of your unconscious functions that is the basic way your inner space functions. That is the best way of survival. That is the basic instinct of a human being, so it cannot be another way it has to be the same if you don't support me who else is going to support me so naturally you take energy you put all your energies and go on supporting what you believe as true what you think as true what you trust as true.

Assessment:

Evaluation: Ask the children to share their opinions about when they are very creative.

Conclusion: Use intellect as a tool, rediscover your intelligence and live happily.

# YOU ARE INTELLIGENCE

Activity: Passing the secret

Goals: To make the children understand about focusing (or) being in the moment (or) unclutch

Preparation: Make the children sit in a circle

Presentation: Explain to the children that one child (or) mentor will say a word in the ear of other children sitting next to her in clock wise direction and this child will pass the secret to the next child in the circle as a continuous process, when it comes to the turn of the child who sits before the child who first passed the word that child has to utter the secret word loudly. If he says the correct word, excellent! If he did say it in a different way we have to check where it went wrong by asking each one to say what they heard. Now do this in anti clock wise direction. Use words like focus, attention, participate, let go, compassion, gratitude and so on

Interpretation: We can connect this game for either focusing (or) being in now (or) unclutching (or) you are intelligence.
