This Intuition thing
Sometimes, I write about how other people refer to or talk about intuition. Sometimes, I write about the way I or others use intuition. Sometimes, I write about some ideas about intuition.
The point is, no matter what is written or what the subject is, the most important thing is that intuition should be talked about. It should be spoken of not as something which is kept under wraps for most of the time before it reveals itself. It shouldn’t be spoken of as something which is unexplainable or weird. Nor should it be spoken of as something only a few people are able to access or use.
Instead, it should be spoken of as something hugely valuable in our lives. It should be spoken of in the same way that we speak of going shopping, or watching TV (which I don’t), or cooking or eating. It should be spoken of in such a way that it appears normal and routine to those people who do not use it, or who question its existence. It should not be spoken of using veiled allusions or using language better suited to quantum physics or some New Age belief.
If we, the users of our intuition, the believers in intuition, do not make noise about it, do not make it clear that we don’t think it strange, why should anyone else who is unsure about it even consider using it or, more importantly, trusting it? The more we make it clear that intuition, in whatever form we use it, is a natural part of our lives, the easier it is to persuade others that it can be valuable for them as well. And the the more people accept it, the greater force it will become in our lives, our society, our culture.
In other words, it is not enough to pat each other on the back when we tell each other how we have used intuition. Neither is it enough to try and codify it with strange terms or strange behavior to make it ‘eye-catching’ to others. The most important thing we can do it talk about it openly, disarmingly, without evangelical fervor, without hullabaloo or hoopla.
All we have to do to convince others (the skeptics and the non-believers) that this is something they should be using, is to talk about ourselves and our intuition and the way it has helped us. And we talk about it as a normal everyday thing. Quiet conviction multiplied many times is the one of the most potent ways of spreading a message.
And if we’re not here, using out intuition to help ourselves and others, then what are we here for? Just to show off? To make ourselves appear superior because we have access to information that non-intuitives don’t have? No. If we’re going to do anything with our intuition, the most important thing we can do is spread the word to as many as possible that it is accessible, valuable, useful, enriching, satisfying and all those other phrases that we feel/speak/know when it works for us.
This intuition thing is way too important for us to make a small, self-congratulatory club for it just to share it amongst ourselves. Everyone needs to know.
So how are you going to spread the word?
