Those of us who use fear and intimidation of others in order to seek their own gain, are actually closing down the boundaries of their world from where their bounty comes.

Intuition is a spontaneous insight into essential nature and is characterised by some of the following: (a). It comes early, unprompted, and is not filtered through the selfish ego. (b). It has a sense of right feeling, almost at times a familiarity, a knowing. (c). It is not usually invasive, it tends to have a quiet voice. (d). It often fits into a larger pattern and the more we move into the pattern, the deeper the insight. (e). If it is not followed, there is a sense that we are going against the flow. (f). When followed, it feels like we are on a mission, there is a feeling of harmony with life.

We may justify our own stubborn prejudice and refusal to move from a particular view by labelling it intuition. However, genuine intuition arises from our inner teacher, which expresses itself foremost and quietly in our heart. Therefore intuition will not deny or attack another, for these are not soulful qualities. Unless intuition possesses the unconditional qualities of heart and soul, it is unlikely to be intuition.

We are designed to take in our environment. For example, we breathe in life-sustaining oxygen. We eat and drink life sustaining food and liquids. We taste a myriad of tastes. We look and take in the beautiful colours and shapes of nature, as well as the human made environment about us. We listen to the sounds of our surroundings, to the harmony of music, as well as to our thoughts. We feel a myriad of textures against our body, and we also feel more subtle sensations within, from pain to pleasure as well as to intuitive feelings. And we smell multiple fragrances that both warn, and uplift us. If we consider all of these facets and their largely inward direction, then we can say to all intents and purposes that a human being is a sensitively attuned, sensory-receiver of the exuberant bounty of life. Furthermore, when we assimilate any of these facets of life with awareness, whether air, food, sounds, colours and so on, we realise that there is an innate principle of pleasure attached to nearly all sensory inputs, particularly those that have a natural origin. And we may even at times experience a bodily, vibratory crescendo of consciousness…read more…

At first sight it would appear that Humanity could have been bequeathed a much higher overall IQ, whether by a Creator or through the evolutionary forces of nature. However upon deeper examination, a higher IQ does not necessarily lead to greater wisdom. Therefore I would suggest that Humanity already has an optimum IQ for our life experience on Earth, but that it is the more wholistic, all-encompassing state of awareness (such as we can sometimes see of indigenous people as well as animals and so on, in the natural world) that needs to be raised, rather than IQ.

We will find plenty of things in life that cause us frustration, if our internal irritability monitor, is reactively set too low.

By holding absolutely to certain perceived conditionings or perceptions, we will be reducing our ability to openly communicate with others. We will be seeing through sticky strands of beliefs. However such sticky beliefs will not give us a framework of understanding them personally, but provide a web for our oppression. Whenever such contracted beliefs arise, we are believing in an ism, such as nationalism, racism, sexism, ageism, classism, elitism, even religiousism or politicalism and so on. In these situations, our consciousness has become lost to the lowest common denominator or generalisation, where legitimate, natural truth does not exist. We have entered the small mind. The primitive, fear based, fight or flight mind, where separation rather than union exists. Such views do not add to the peace of the world (as has been historically evident) but rather take peace away.
