This is Amanson. After a search for a subject for this evening’s little talk, it is [[Intuition]] that I would speak
on. Intuition is the source of the pathways you are obliged to [[explore]] in the canvas of your life. Intuition
is a corridor that meets your [[mind]] at one end and your [[heart]] at the other. Intuition is an interior light,
an interior bracket in which much [[information]] rests. You can follow the information in this bracket to its
source. The source is beyond your [[understanding]] but not beyond your conveying and dealing with.
Intuition leads you where you need to go but the clear [[path]] of Intuition is often obscured with other,
conflicting, [[considerations]] -- conditioning, negative thoughts, over-thinking, weariness, and just plain
disgust at the carryings-on in the world you see on a day by day basis. Intuition comes from beyond all
that. Intuition is a heavenly [[nest]] in which rest eggs of [[inspiration]], eggs to be allowed to hatch (to keep
up with this [[metaphor]]) and their born birds followed. Keep them in your [[sight]] in their flight for they
know where to go.
Intuition is the broadest palette you have to connect with the interior [[spiritual life]]. It exists beyond any
religious [[training]], any philosophical [[discussion]]. It exists on its own. It resides within, it is anchored
above. It provides [[hints]], it provides implications. It works first through [[feelings]] and feelings are ground-
zero. Feelings are what gets [[interpreted]] through [[thought]]. So when the mind senses this feeling of
Intuition it is the mind’s [[duty]] to [[listen]], to pay attention to what it is being told. We cannot depend upon
thinking to lead us in correct [[directions]]. Thinking is a [[mechanism]]. It is too [[superficial]] an activity to be
given the [[responsibility]] of the reins. It’s a vital activity but when it is not in tandem with the feelings it
can go far, far astray. And again, as we’ve spoken before, emotions and feelings: two different things.
Emotions are as untrustworthy as mere thinking. But feelings, the medium through which Intuition
works, are always [[accurate]]. You always know how you feel about something if you’ll take the time to
(quietly) observe.
So Intuition is the gift of [[connection]] to [[the whole]] -- winks and nods and secret [[whisperings]] that “This is
the way”; “This has perhaps happened before”; “This is something to be avoided”; “This is
counterintuitive but the correct path”; all such answers, all such conclusions, can be drawn through
Intuition.
Intuition is the heartiest of our interior [[powers]], the sturdiest; the one least in need of an [[intellectual]]
approach, a curious scholarly approach. It just is. It is God’s [[signpost]] to us all that yes, inside, within us,
is a flashing light that need have no religious connotation, no specific denomination, no guiding saint or
[[guru]] or master. It is a living, a [[naïve]], [[proof]] of the Oneness. And the Oneness is the [[Greatness]] with so
many names. But it is – we are -- all One and Intuition is the proof.
