too much thinking. the answer isn't in the intellect, the Mind knows: the blue mountains, the green flush of prairie grass after it rains, the baby crying, the jet flying overhead.

Yes this too. But how will you achieve any of those moments if you do not have the time to ponder and observe.
Unfortunately life is more than just taking in things.
Unless of coarse you’re born into riches. Then thats a whole other onset of potential problems.
who says using Mind isn't active? our true Mind is totally engaged. it's the same Mind that children have when they are absorbed in something they are discovering. it never leaves us. we leave it.
the intellect is like a pocket knife. pull it out when needed, then put it away. would you carry around a pocket knife with all the tools and blades open all the time?
It sounds like you’re agreeing with me 🤷🏼
do you need me to agree? 💘🤷♂️
maybe that's not something you achieve pondering or observing, maybe it's just something you rest on when you stop fighting life and yourself.
and I guess it's instantaneous, it does not depend on time.
Can last a moment. Can last a few or more moments. Take it in while it lasts.
