Intuitive Power - WHAT IS IT?

Intuitive Power: is the body’s internal guide helping us to make decisions -  IF WE PAY ATTENTION!  It is the subconscious feeling that tells us instantaneously whether we like or dislike someone. We need to learn to trust this instinct .  We need to ask ourselves quietly, where did that feeling come from?  What exactly is that feeling?  This is an ancient, inner sense that is largely undeveloped in the material, modern world.
 
            Suggested Exercise:  Come home, and write up exactly how you Feel about someone you just met.  You already have a subconscious file on this person  in your head.  Don’t use logic.  Just your knee jerk gut feeling.  Then let a little time go by and OBSERVE the person and see if your initial reaction is correct.  Write this down and remember the feeling of your own acceptance.  When something else occurs listen to your inner Higher Self and recognize this feeling as your TRUTH -  Your TRUST.  Hold on to this memory so you can bring it from the internal world to the outer world recognizing your true feeling of trust.  This is what is known as "Know Thyself."

People seem not to be in touch with their Higher Self.  This is the self that  guides us to choose what is best for us from a loving mind-set - Our Intuitive Self -  Never judging, always supportive, always loving us. 
But we need to listen to it.  The internal Higher Self does not yell at us for attention.   It is quiet, waiting to be asked.  Not like the lower self, the material self, that yells at us over the quiet sensation of the Higher Self.   The Higher Self is the quiet stillness of our center which is often lost to a loud, chattering, lower self.  This causes chaotic thought patterns and bad choices built on what the world thinks we should be deciding, and not what we FEEL should be. STOP.  STEP BACK.GO TO A HIGHER PLACE AND OBSERVE. (Like being at a play.  We are out in the audience, up in the balcony.  We are there to observe and support the player (s) but we do not take part in the play.) BE COMPASSIONATE.  BE THERE AS SUPPORT, BUT DO NOT TAKE PART IN THE OTHER PERSON'S SITUATION.  THEY HAVE TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR LIFE NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY YELL AND SCREAM AT US PROJECTING THEIR OWN FEARS ON US WANTING DESPERATELY FOR US TO TAKE ON THEIR FEARS AND MAKE THEM OUR RESPONSIBILITY.   IF WE STEP IN AND DIRECT OR MANIPULATE THE OUTCOME THE PERSON WILL NOT LEARN THE LESSONS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO LEARN. (It would be as if we came down from the balcony and went onto the stage directing the actors on how the outcome of the play should happen.  Ridiculous right?  The actors have reasons they are in the play and acting the parts they are. What right have we to change their parts?)

In 2009 I created this Newspaper Collage on Newsprint Paper - Title:  "Wisdom's Freedom"

How many times have we arrived at a decision that feels right and others tell us we are wrong?  Particularly if we are in a tense group interaction where people are heaping blame on one another.  People seem to be always running this way and that, never stopping to LISTEN to that inner voice - the Higher Self..  When a challenge arrises, everything is drama and traumatic.  We are listening to what our outside world says we should do - listening to others and accepting their judgment of us as our own truth, instead of what we know intrinsically what we should do for our self in the situation that we find ourselves.  Meditation teaches us to just SIT and BE.  As we sit, we breathe deeply, relaxing into a place of Peace and Balance.  Then we - LISTEN and learn our truth.
