Everything Intuition

Intuition is not just something that you switch on. It is something which exists all the time in your life. It is always working away, doing things, it’s just that we are not always aware of it. I know I’ve written along these lines before, but it’s important enough to bear repeating…

INTUITION IS PART OF YOUR LIFE!

There! I feel better for saying it. What it means is that intuition is something which goes on continually, even if you only get occasional ‘hits’ every once in a while. Every spiritual practice says something along the lines of ‘knowing yourself’. What that usually boils down to is being aware of what is going in your life, even the small details, not daydreaming or living in the past.

Socrates said ‘The unexamined life is not worth living ‘. He was saying the same sort of thing. Be aware of what is happening to you. Be alert to what is going on; don’t just sit back and let life wash over you. Ask yourself if you do actually spend time (consistently, not just when things go wrong) thinking about you and what is going on with you. Even if you don’t (and I suspect that the majority of people don’t), then you can still understand more and more about yourself if you look at what happens to you. All the events which take place in and around you; your life, in other words, are messages for you and you alone. What are those messages saying? What are they helping you to see or realize or avoid or accept?

And the great thing is that those events, those ‘things’ which clutter up your life and stop you living like a couch potato all the time, they are the result of your intuition in action. Your intuition is part of you. It works always to give you messages to help you. As it is not one the five primary senses, then it must give you those messages in a new way. It does it by arranging for ‘things’ to happen to you, all the time, throughout your life.

As Winston Churchill once said, ‘Men stumble over the truth, but they usually pick themselves up and carry on.” And so it is with most of us. We stumble into events, we stumble through our lives and we complain or we ignore these events and interruptions and carry on trying to get through our days without really thinking about ourselves, except in the most selfish of ways.

And all the time, the help we crave for is right there before us. Our intuition keeps giving us clues. How long before we really start listening?
