I’ve always had this intuition, this instinct that life could be lived from a deeper level, than the physical and even mental level. In fact when I was younger I naturally lived from that place, which can perhaps be described as the emotional realm of existence. It is from this subtle world of feelings that I navigated my external reality. Thus I would find myself knowing things that I had no idea where they came from. I would simply have that feeling of knowing and would take it for granted that the knowledge which became available to me in that moment must be true, which it always was. But as I grew up, it occurred to me that such intuitive knowledge was not well received in the society I was living in, unless it could either be proved, or supported by more grounded knowledge. This led me to seek to expand my intellectual capacities, and my mental depth. I began to look up to those people who had accumulated knowledge through education and rigorous memorizing of widely accepted facts. I still believe that this intellectual journey into the noosphere, and its exploration was of tremendous value to me. But I have now arrived to a place in my journey where I am going back into the opposite direction. I am going back home, and with my accumulated knowledge of how our reality works, I have a clearer understanding of why it makes sense to navigate life intuitively. It is because intuiting which I see as the mental expression of instinct, is the act of allowing and receiving inspiration from within, ultimately from the source. With the repression of the feminine archetype, I believe we as a society have also suppress our capacity to intuit. We have mistrusted it so much that we have lost touch with our sense of what is our intuition and what is simply our imagination. This is the sense I seek to regain, but I seek to be conscious of it happening this time, so as to consciously work with my intuition, and develop a feel of what it is like which will stay with me. I’ve learned that we are all intuitive at varying levels. And our ability to channel our intuitive abilities into our everyday life depends greatly on how much of it we are open to and how often it informs our actions.
(I’ll probably edit this more a bit later on. But... “It might be authentic”)
