Hi Dennis08, my suggestion; first be more specific, "increase my intelligence" is a bit too vague though we both know fully well what you're talking about.
The reason why I'm suggesting this is because there are different channels of what you're talking about, intelligence; math, reading, writing, poetry, history, the sciences, spelling, ect., you can see what I mean.
If your goal or desire is to be a better reader for example, then focus on that for the time being. Simply practice (and I mean practice lol) reading something small then give yourself a quick drill about what you read bit later. Ask yourself questions about what you just read and if you can't remember everything at first, it doesn't matter- keep practicing. Read things that are interesting to you so you concentrate. Move on to bigger books but only when you feel you can clearly remember what you read from the smaller books first.
Tell yourself you are getting better and better at remembering AND understanding what you read each day at least 5 times a day or more.
When you have time, relax for a few minutes, block everything out and visualize yourself clearly understanding the things you read and enjoying it.
There are techniques out there to even increase your reading speed and read thousands of words in only seconds while understanding almost all of them, but they like learning to ride a bike, require practice and patience.
Let us know what you think Dennis....
