When memory is intuition
Have you ever had that feeling as you’re going out of the door that you’ve forgotten something?
You know you should have remembered it but you can’t think what it is. So you rack your brain and decide that it’s just something probably small or not important at all and you’ll probably do without it.
So you relax. You’re in the car and you’re probably a little later than you would like to be so turning back is not an option. But you’ve given yourself permission to feel OK about that nagging feeling you had just before you left, because you’ve talked yourself into believing that it will be fine.
You arrive at the mall, on the way to the in-laws (or wherever) for that last bit of shopping you needed and THEN it hits you. The list with all the details, sizes, names or whatever it was is still on the kitchen table.
You have forgotten the list. The single most important thing you had for the day is miles away and you can’t remember what was on it, because you wrote it down, so why bother???
Any of this seem familiar?
Well, we all curse ourselves for forgetting things. But how many of us actually realize that that nagging feeling, that irritation scraping its fingernail down the blackboard of your mind is really your intuition?
After all, haven’t we agreed, you and I, in all these other posts here, that intuition is nothing more than gaining access to knowledge? Well, the knowledge in this example is the list on the table. You need it. Your brain knows it so your intuition kicks in and tries desperately to help in the only way it can, by making you feel different.
Instead of a funny feeling in your stomach, you get the brain tapping. ‘Excuse me, I’m your intuition talking here. I can’t actually spell it out, because then I wouldn’t be your intuition, but I’m trying to let you know that there’s something you should know about…..’
Now, all that’s left is to to actually KNOW what it is you’ve forgotten!!
Simple… and next week, how to mend a leaking pressurized nuclear reactor with some duct tape and toothbrush.
