Intuition and the intellect
A few days ago I have written some words about instinct, intuition and inspiration. Recently I have experienced a “funny” case of intuition which I want to share with you.
One week ago my attention was drawn to the new Windows 8. I had a look on the corresponding Microsoft website. I must say that I do not like the new look as I prefer android with its apps and for a real PC the normal desktop look. I have discovered the few changes, news of Windows 8 and also that it is available for a small price in the time of introduction. I have started thinking if it makes sense to buy it as long as it is so cheap. I have felt that it is a good idea to buy it. But then I have used my intellect. In fact at this time there was no necessity to buy Windows 8, also not for later but still I had this feeling to buy it. I haven´t bought it at last.
One week later my PC broke down and now my PC is going to be repaired – including a new installation of Windows 8.
If I had followed my intuition, I would have saved about 70 Euros.
This is life!
So sometimes it can be useful to follow your intuition although you might not understand its meaning.
For me it was an interesting experience – one of a lot of interesting experiences. The main point here is to become aware of what is happening and to understand it. Then you can learn and improve yourself.
This just as an example. You probably have made similar experiences.
This has happened to me numerous times due to the fact my intuition wasn’t nurtured through the years as a child, then adolescence, and then to enter into adulthood and have to make decisions! What a mess it can be. When one is doing the right thing, it feels right…from doing the dishes, to going to the gym, to visiting a lonely friend….even if you don’t feel like doing it-you know it’s the right thing! Doesn’t intuition hold all the right answers, all the time? I’m looking forward now for my intuition to become highly refined as it improves with spiritual training.
Thank you, Elizabeth. In fact inutition is our guiding light and the intellect is just the servant who helps to understand. The spiritual training refines your intuition and inspiration to highest degrees which makes it possible to comprehend all problems of creation.
I have no intuition whatsoever. In the past I have tried to follow my “gut feeling” when making decisions. Then I tried rational thinking and conclusions. Either way proofed that about 80% of my decisions are disasters to a larger or lesser degree. As I have seen, there are people with great intuition -some don’t even realize it- that have the “Midas Touch” . Everything they do turns to gold metaphorically speaking.
Thank you, Peter! Intuition can be developed and refined. It just needs training. Tody we suffer from the problem that there is a too big focus on the intellect with the idea that the intellect is superior and the masterkey for all problems. But this is not true. As we are too focused on the intellect we have missed to develop the intuition and so we have to suffer. In fact you are not alone respectively the only victim of ideology today.
This happens to me occasionally too. I had a very frightening experience when I was 15 yrs old that awakened me to my intuition. I was walking to the local library with a friend one evening when we heard a horn blow and then a crash. It was behind us and we never turned around. However, “something” told me it was my Mother in the car that crashed. I dismissed it and kept walking. Later in the library I began to feel as if I was going to cry. I held back the tears. Shortly after I arrived home my Aunt phoned to ask me to run a hot bath for my Mother. She was fine but sore from the accident she’d had a few hours earlier, two blocks from the library, not too far from home. I’m still to this day trying to embrace and trust my intuition.
Thank you! Intuition is so important in life and your example shows so well how we are all connected on higher planes of existence – especially with our beloved ones.
