I think of it as requiring the ability to “look to see what IS.” So often we look to see what we expect, and so that’s all we see. Often it means we don’t “see” at all.

Perhaps that is the intelligence most challenged/developed when one decides to live outside of conventional structures/expectations? By freely giving up expectation – or by challenging oneself in the wilderness – one learns to let go of expectation and SEE what IS.
