People tend not to use this word beauty because it's not intellectual - but there has to be an overlap between beauty and intellect.

If we look into ourselves we discover propensities which declare that our intellects have arisen from a lower form; could our minds be made visible we should find them tailed.

My great religion is a belief in the blood, the flesh, as being wiser than the intellect. We can go wrong in our minds. But what our blood feels and believes and says, is always true. The intellect is only a bit and a bridle.

The Septic Tank

Receipt, Reaction and Response
Are the phenomena of life.

Receipt of stimuli from the environs;
Reaction in the mind and intellect;
Response produced from stimuli.

Mind is accumulation of experience;
Intellect is accumulation of knowledge.
Mind and intellect form a unit,
Where input is churned and output is made.

Good water comes out as dirty water
When the unit is a washing machine.
Dirty water comes as good water
When the unit is a septic tank.
