Intuition
According to Albert Einstein,
“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”
Also familiar to many of us as a “gut feeling,” a “hunch,” or the “sixth sense,” intuition is considered one of six higher mental faculties that separate us from nature’s creatures. With the use of our higher faculties, we are able to create our own environment, which has proven to be a double-edged sword for those who are not consciously aware or awakened to the creative power we all have within us.
The 6 higher mental faculties consist of imagination, will, perception, memory, reason and intuition. Much literature in personal growth has illustrated that when utilized appropriately on a daily basis consistently throughout life, anyone can live a life of freedom and abundance in health, wealth and happiness if they faithfully incorporate these tools.
Recently, I have been studying more on the power of intuition and how to strengthen my ability to use my feelings to read situations and to allow higher intelligence, if you will, to guide me in daily decision making. Guidance stemming from intuition is relying on instinctual feelings and what we sense is vibrational energy which contains waves of different frequencies that we are receiving. It is said that we are like radio receivers.
I remember early on in my studies, attending lectures conducted by Kyle Cease, who instructed us to use the 5-second rule when we were stumped about a question. He reminded us that if we did not arrive at an answer within 5 seconds, then we had to ask again later and that whatever answer it was within 5 seconds was the correct one. Anything else made after that would be the egoic mind second-guessing, justifying reasons, and asking for evidence to prove our decision.
Over the years, I realized that many times the right solution could not be obtained with the information collected by my 5 senses. There were times when what I read on paper did not align with how I felt, a sense of knowing without a logical explanation. Other times, what I saw with my eyes did not match this nagging sense of knowing something else that seemed absolutely illogical to everyone else. All I could say was,
“I don’t know how I know. I just know.”
A simple example of your intuition in action is let’s say you normally take certain streets to get home from work and you have been doing this for a while. One day, you get an idea, a suggestion from a little voice that seems like it is coming from your head telling you to take a different street, follow different directions; and somehow, you do, only to discover that thankfully you did, because otherwise you would not have met up with a serendipitous event or perhaps you would have had what you would label as a very negative experience.
Intuition is considered the “sixth sense” because it involves both the mental and spiritual realms. It is the ability to understand or know something immediately based on your feelings rather than facts, or the ability to understand something instinctively, without the need for conscious reasoning. It is a sense of knowing “deep down.” Let’s now take a moment to explore some quotes written about intuition. As you read each one, take a few minutes to reflect on the ones that resonate with you.
If you feel called to, take out your journal or a piece of paper and write down thoughts or anything you may remember about events that have occurred in your life that may have been times you did listen and follow your intuition and times which perhaps you should have. This exercise may shed some light as to how much this mental faculty has been a part of your daily life more than you realized.
“Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” — Steve Jobs
“Never discredit your gut instinct. You are not paranoid. Your body can pick up on bad vibrations. If something deep inside of you says something is not right about a person or situation, trust it.” — Anonymous
“Follow your instincts. That’s where true wisdom manifests itself.” — Oprah Winfrey
“Intuition doesn’t tell you what you want to hear; it tells you what you need to hear.” — Sonia Choquette
“Intuition does not come to an unprepared mind.” — Albert Einstein
“A quiet mind is able to hear intuition over fear.” — Anonymous
“Your gut knows what’s up, trust it.” — Anonymous
“Listen to the wind, it talks. Listen to the silence, it speaks. Listen to your heart, it knows.” — Native American Proverb
“Intuition is the supra-logic that cuts out all the routine processes of thought and leaps straight from the problem to the answer.” — Robert Graves
“Intuition comes very close to clairvoyance; it appears to be the extrasensory perception of reality.” — Alexis Carrel
“A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something.” — Frank Capra

“Don’t try to comprehend with your mind. Your minds are very limited. Use your intuition.” —Madeleine L’Engle, A Wrinkle in Time
“Intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect, in my opinion.” —Steve Jobs
Your power of intuition can be perfected and become a stronger part of your daily decision-making throughout life. It just takes practice to increase your awareness. If you are not aware of your internal or external surroundings, chances are you will miss the messages that are constantly being sent to you by higher intelligence. It is said that to be in the right place at the right time, you have to be “aware” that you are in the right place at the right time.
One of the most effective tools is daily meditation and this is talked and written about in a plethora of personal development literature. Daily meditation allows the mind to clear itself of illusory problems (all problems are perception issues, the way we choose to look at things; otherwise, everything just is). Exercising presence or bringing the mind into the present moment as often as possible throughout the day and lifetime is vitally important to increase our ability to access our intuitive power.
The way I bring myself to the present moment is that I ask myself if I am aware of the space I am in and the space that I sense all around me. Then, I ask myself to start listing what I observe in this space and where I fit in. This exercise brings my consciousness immediately to what is going on right now. Whenever this happens, I find that my thoughts are no longer fear-based somewhere in the future and no longer depressed-based somewhere in the past. Remember that both the past and future to do not exist other than in your mind. The past is generated by memory traces and the future is composed of negative-imagined thoughts. All living is done in the present moment. Let that sink in over and over again.
Although I practice meditation for at least one hour each day, I would love to be able to do more, as it is something I find tremendously grounding and brings incredible focus into my life. The clutter and noise just clear on its own, allowing a deep sense of peace to come through. Remember that peace, joy and love are never things that we need to seek and chase after. Eckhart Tolle calls them the “states of being” that are innately within all of us. We just have to be quiet enough to let them come through and be experienced.
So, the next time you notice that little voice giving you a nudge to make a certain decision, to make a left when you’ve always gone right, to pick up the phone and make that call and you have no rational explanation but just this “feeling,” follow it. Chances are you are being guided and graced with serendipity from the powers-that-be as you continue on your journey called life.
