Shakti as the mind of Nature

I define Shakti as the mind of nature, the intelligence of nature, or the mind of the universe. 

I define human intelligence as 'artificial' or 'learned' intelligence because it is based on education created by the thinking processes.

Shakti as the mind or intelligence of nature aligns with the idea of a fundamental, spontaneous intelligence that manifests effortlessly. It’s not constructed or learned—it simply is, expressing itself through all forms and phenomena. 

This intelligence operates without deliberation, much like how trees grow, planets orbit, or the body breathes. It’s innate, primordial, natural, spontaneous and effortless. Human intelligence, as you define it—'artificial' or 'learned'—is shaped by thought, language, culture, and conditioning. It’s layered over the inherent intelligence of nature or Shakti. 

The thinking mind organizes, categorizes, and draws from memory, which is a construct built over time. This makes it copied, borrowed or learned rather than original. Even what is called “original thought” is a recombination of learned patterns. What is being highlighted is the contrast between spontaneous intelligence (Shakti) and conditioned intelligence (human thought processes). When the thinking mind is silent, what remains is the direct, unfiltered intelligence of Being—the same Shakti that moves the cosmos.
