When I was a child, I venerated my mother. She was a meditator who would regularly disappear into her room, leaving me on the outside looking at the sign on her door that read, ‘Please respect my appointment with God’.
She was an unusual woman – very strong, somewhat eccentric – who would ‘go within’ to seek answers for any issues she was facing. Unfortunately, instead of going within myself, I developed a habit of going without for my answers – to her. After all, she had that connection to God… (When I was young, I literally thought that if my mother was on a plane, it wouldn’t go down.)
So, I grew up not being very trusting of my intuition. I looked outside of myself for answers – to Mum, to books, to courses, to leaders…
Paradoxically, at around the same time, I began teaching Creative Writing courses and my key message was about trusting oneself and accepting one’s ideas. (Go figure!) And then, when I had children, I learnt powerful lessons about trusting my body. (This is the Law of Polarity at work: what we repress here, we express there…)
Nonetheless, I grew up with the idea that I wasn’t good at trusting my intuition, so I’d have my radar out for people who I perceived to be very intuitive. I liked hanging out with them because I hoped that their ability would rub off onto me.
One day I had a life-changing conversation with a friend who I’d placed up high on the intuition scale. I was talking to her about an issue with my children and she remarked that she felt I was on track with my decision; then I shared one more set of facts about the issue, and she changed her view.
It was a life-changing conversation for me because I realised that her intuition was not necessarily as golden as I’d thought; I’d thought she was accessing some mystical realm of wisdom, but she was just sharing her thoughts and feelings in response to new bits of information.
So… What Is Intuition?
The dictionary defines it as ‘the ability to understand something instinctively, without the need for conscious reasoning’. Dr Demartini distinguishes between ‘gut feelings’ from the body, and ‘intuition’ from the soul.
But whether it’s a hunch or a gut feeling or a message from the soul, how do we know that our impression is actually our intuition speaking to us?
You’ve probably had the experience of presenting family or friends with a piece of information they don’t agree with; in response, they tell you that it ‘doesn’t feel right’; and then you find yourself at a loss for words because perhaps you have that bit more information than them and you know it is right.
A case in point is the ‘vaccine’. We’re told ad nauseum that the jab will help us and others; as a result of all these messages, many people feel that being injected is the right course of action – everything they’ve heard points to that conclusion so it ‘feels right’ and they conclude that their intuition is saying, ‘Yes, have the jab’.
But is that intuition or their beliefs speaking? Are they just using the information to confirm their beliefs?
Since childhood, we have been educated and programmed away from tuning in within and trained, instead, to focus on externals, on the information our parents and teachers and other experts give us. (The irony in my case is that there I was with a mother demonstrating the value of tuning within, but rather than encouraging me to tune in into my inner wisdom, she was giving me her answers.)
Psychotherapist and Trauma Expert Anita Bentata explains that the human biological tendency is to adapt and stay connected for survival rather than stand out by being different and separate. In addition to that, our parenting and schooling train us to focus externally on pleasing others, which also improves our chance of survival.
That abundance of external information and expertise has so dominated our awareness that many of us have lost the ability to tune into our intuition, so that often, what we call our intuition, is actually our beliefs speaking.
Going back to that conversation about the ‘vaccine’, what if our friend or family member then learns a little more about the injection? They find out what the ingredients are – aborted foetal cells, aluminium, graphene oxide, etc. – and discover how dangerous some of those are. If they are able to accommodate the new information, they are likely to form new ideas and beliefs and make a different decision.
‘True’ Intuition
‘True’ highly-attuned intuition is ‘otherworldly’ – we know something despite having no way of knowing it; it’s not linked to books we’ve read or documentaries we’ve watched or classes we’ve attended.
I remember Dr Demartini’s story of being confronted by bullies and hearing his inner voice say, ‘Bark like a dog’. When he barked, the bullies thought he was crazy and backed away. Where did that idea come from? ‘Who knew’ that it would be the right way to handle that situation?
Our intuition comes from ‘out of left field’ and is often creative in its solutions and its manner of reaching us. Many people have experienced fabulous ‘coincidences’ that provided just what they needed to know when they needed to know it.
My intuition played a very confronting role in my life when I met my husband in 2016 and received the strong impression that I should leave my much-loved partner of 29 years to be with this man.
In the last few weeks, I had another experience of my intuition talking to me that was just as powerful. We were inspecting a property that we liked but felt would be out of our range financially; nonetheless, we put an offer in, and right after that, I began to receive the repeated impression, like a memory from the future, of the real estate agent ringing to say, ‘They want you to have the house if you’ll just put in a little more.’ That was exactly what happened, and our revised offer was accepted.
‘True’ Intuition – our evolutionary destiny
I remember watching a presentation about the end of the Mayan Calendar in which the speaker, Ian Lungold, said that we were moving into a period when we would be so inundated with information that we would not have the time to assess all the material and think our way through to a good decision; instead, we would have to rely on our intuition.
I think we are there now. We are currently inundated with information. There is no way of staying on top of it – which suggests that life is evolving us in the direction of developing our intuition. Many believe (or know) that our ‘sixth senses’ are our evolutionary future. As Nikola Tesla said,
‘The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.’
Our task is to deliberately develop our intuition – to practise trusting our feelings and instincts until we have a trustworthy relationship with our intuition.
There are various resources available to us as we train our intuition, such as a pendulum or Tarot cards; and if those are too woo-woo for you, literally any word or image that comes to mind can be plumbed for inner meaning. We are the creator of our world, and any associations that we create hold personal meaning.
In the meantime, when it comes to making very big decisions that can impact the rest of our lives, it’s important to be aware and informed. It can be dangerous when we think we are well-informed when actually we are not.
When I spoke about ‘Acts of Enlightenment and Sovereignty’ in a recent blog, I was saying that we demonstrate our power and courage and centredness through action andmeditation. A similar dynamic applies here. I’m writing this blog to encourage all of us to trust ourselves AND educate ourselves.
We can’t assume we know it all, especially if our source of information is the mainstream media, given the vested interests of the owners of those platforms. Nor can we assume that everyone whose opinion differs from the narrative is a ‘conspiracy theorist’. We must be willing to test our beliefs and knowledge with new information, to take the risk of being different and separate, as Anita Bentata says.
It takes great strength of character to go against the flow and to consider ideas that run counter to our existing beliefs. This is the cognitive dissonance that many are experiencing today as they face new and often shocking information about world leadership.
Meryl Dorey, President of the Australian Vaccination-Risks Network.org, made the following comment in July 2021 at the Freedom Rally in Brisbane:
“They’ve made it illegal to breathe. Take your nappies off, don’t sign in, make a stand for freedom. It takes us out of our comfort zone – we don’t want to ‘make a scene’, have people look at us – but think of the alternative. That’s a lot less comfortable: to be forced into a quarantine centre, to be forced to have a jab that could kill you… Five years down the track when we have no more rights, what will you say to your children when they ask what you did? We need mask non-compliance to end this. Less than 5% have taken both jabs.”
It is absolutely important that we listen to our feelings and body-wisdom, but also wise to recognise when we might need to keep educating ourselves, keep enlarging our perspective.
To help you with the ‘without’, I’ve summarised some of the events of the last 18 months below, and have added a few new video links that I have found particularly powerful. (Eg. A stage hypnotist comparing excepts from his shows with how the government is manipulating people’s feelings, a brilliant overview of the whole circus by a doctor of 30 years’ experience, and a presentation by a doctor who has worked successfully with 6000 covid patients vigorously advising some orthodox Israeli politicians to stop the jab.)
When it comes down to the ‘within’, we must ask ourselves how we feel. Calm or light or happy feelings usually mean, ‘Yes, go this way’; anxious, tense or sick feelings usually mean, ‘No, don’t do it.’ (And… sometimes the troublesome path will appeal to us and we don’t acknowledge our intuition until too late. But the silver lining is what we learn in taking that path.)
Keep looking after yourself, loving yourself, eating healthy, getting exercise and sunshine, hugging people, and trusting that what we are experiencing are just labour pains as we birth a wonderful new stage in human history. The unity building around the world is inspiring! Millions of people are standing up against corruption and mandates that don’t make sense and have no basis in science. You’ve gotta love that.
