The human mind has conflicts that may lead to areas of contemplation that are far removed from the real tendency that was the reason for moving thought towards considering the intelligibles. If you looked at the disputes that occurred between Christians at the beginning of their existence, you would not be able to understand, in the first place, to what extent their disagreement would go, and their debates would end.
The disagreement over the nature of Christ was the basis of discussions addressed by the church sects in the first centuries, and the differences of sects on that issue had the greatest impact in considering the intelligibles and in philosophical contemplation.
