Yes, this is the human existential dilemna - for which we might be eternally gateful. It keeps us awake, alive and always seeking the greater intelligence of the universe. It is our conscious and western traditions that prevent us from access to the level of their integration and have them appear as mutually exclusive and, in many cases, unrelated. I hope that I did not destroy any of your intention or misread you in ways that take away from your expression. I honour the clarity and humanity demonstrated and love that it can be done in the context of an organisational conversation.
Intelligence is the underlying organisational principle of the universe.
