INTUITION AND GUIDANCE

Intuition can be guidance and vice versa but for discussion purposes let's look at how they are used differently.

The word intuition is usually reserved for those episodes of suddenly seeing. Suddenly seeing clearly the motivation behind someone's agenda for instance or seeing clearly a solution to a problem that you were flummoxed about. It occurs everyday when you are listening to the news and something triggers your B.S. detector. You just know something is not true but you don't have any evidence at hand.
Many folks have purchased items based on their intuition and and later they researched it and discovered they did the right thing.

Guidance can take many forms. It can be intuition but it also can be a nudging. I am talking about the guidance that comes from self. Guidance can come from outside the self but unless it clicks with your being it cannot be trusted. Many times I have had guidance come through other people, something said to me in a way to cut through some resistance I was having to a truth.

Every day guidance often comes in a nudging. I usually do my chores at a regular time day in, day out, varying with the season. Sometimes I will be sitting doing my crossword puzzle in the Morning and I keep getting this urging to get my animal chores done when I don't really think it is time yet. Whenever I have ignored these urgings I have created an inconvenience for myself. The reason for the urging becomes clear when a neighbor comes up the driveway wanting to visit at the time I usually go out to do the chores. I might get an urging to go to town for some business on a Monday when I had been planning to go on Tuesday. I ignore the guidance and find ten inches of snow greeting me on Tuesday Morning.

For the rest of this discussion let us refer to both of these phenomena as guidance. Living in the 'now' requires us to be able to listen to what ourselves are telling us. Moment to moment there is a part of us that knows exactly what we should be up to. Meditation and other ways of quieting the mind are stressed because we cannot 'hear' guidance when our minds are going a mile a minute. One, also, has to learn the difference between guidance and wayward thoughts and tricks of the ego. That is not as difficult as it may seem as true guidance has a clarity about it. With a little practice of following one's nudges, a person learns to sort out, the true and false, fairly easily.

I am raising this point at this time because soon we will be responsible for creating a new society. As the Old World collapses we will need to come together and ask ourselves, what kind of a world do we want? What is government for? Why should we have one? What should it look like? What should our relationship with Mother Earth be? What kind of organizations are desirable? What kind do we need? What should education look like? How about health service?

With our rise in consciousness we will see things very differently than we do now. With all the fear programming of the last several thousand years eliminated we will see a different world. Folks are going to need to come together and allow guidance to flow from Source for this creative endeavor.

Big changes are going to happen sooner than later. The best way we can prepare ourselves is to love all the time. Remember Love. If we remember love we will find living in the 'now' easier. We will find the will and the way to release the past.

Love and Peace,  Gregg
