Letter 18: THE MOON

"Intelligence is attached above all to positions of movement, and not to the progress through which it passes from one position to another -- progress which is movement itself…

Intelligence concentrates only on the harvest, i.e. on the product, and not on the production -- which is, for it, only the means, a series of steps, for arriving at the product. It is always the result to which it aspires. It is always the "autumn" of things and events which it has in view. It is oriented towards facts -- accomplishing things -- and not towards the process of creation, or that of becoming. The "springtime" and the "summer" of things and events either escape it or are taken into account only under the aspect of "autumn" -- as its stages of preparation. Germination and growth are then considered only in relation to the harvest. Mobility coming into being -- this is germination and growth; whilst the harvest is what is "become" -- it is the product."  --VT
