Sermon on Emerson's Essay: Intellect, Part 2

The Intellect is the seat of the Nous; Spirit or Absolute Freedom, as the philosophers would call it. For the modern Gnostic, it calls on us to learn how to think and straddle the free expression of our thoughts and ideas. From this, the beauty of abstraction and the divinity of the Self must emerge; the humanities, arts and sciences will then flow. It is all this that brings us to rapture and a sensibility of transcendence that is the key to our immortality.
