Intuition

Hi folks !

So have there been happenings in your life which you can now identify as a Coincidence?!

Think back!

Mandar has sent two queries.

Where the first one is concerned, about mentioning Mumbai and actually landing there, I think more than a coincidence, it was a strong wish at play.

Two years is a long time.

For various reasons, maybe at a subconscious level, you may have wondered if going to Mumbai would serve your prospects better.

Thoughts create their own vibrations and if it resonates with your learning at a spiritual level, coincides with what you decided for yourself in this life or before taking birth.

Like, for example, 'I will learn self-reliance'.

Or patience - which you need a lot of, in Mumbai !

Or independence - then you will land there.

Now you can actually check for yourself.

Have you made progress on the material level?

Learnt new skills?

Widened your horizons?

Also, at a personal level.

Have you, maybe even subconsciously, learnt perseverance?

Or pragmatism?

Or aggression, standing up for yourself- the list would be endless.

Regarding the second one, there was something else at play, something wonderful , which all of us have, most of us ignore, but really, we ALL need to develop.

Intuition !

How much attention do we pay to this wonderful phenomenon?

And where do Intuitions come from?!

I did a workshop a few days ago in which the Mind was defined as 'a perceived ball of energy 12' in diameter with its centre in the navel'.

If you accept it, its not hard to understand that THAT is where the gut-feeling comes from!

We have a conscious mind and an unconscious one.

The conscious one is slightly bigger than the tip of an iceberg.

Only 10% of the whole.

It is what we work with in our waking moments.

Learning, analysing, processing, deciding etc.

It operates on a superficial, every-day level which is necessary for routine survival.

It is the Sub-conscious which is so very interesting!

Imagine!

What each one of us is carrying with us all the time !

Our sub-conscious is the reason why mere change of place or job or taking to suppressants has no long- term positive effect.

It is equivalent to applying excellent medicine on the throbbing wound- with the thorn intact deep inside.

The subconscious is the repository of all that we have experienced before, in each and every lifetime.

It is not concerned with the day-today muddles of our lives.

It carries on peacefully, wisely, even as we get agitated over everything.

It sends us signals all the time, but there is a thick wall of 'Shut-up, I know better, I cant do that, Are you crazy?, What will people say?' - a nd so on.

So it goes back to its peaceful existence.

Wouldnt you do the same?

Dont we all do the same?

But sometimes, we heed its warning.

Even if it is not what we really wanted to do.

The effects, in a larger perspective turn out to be good, though still not to our complete liking.

The next time, we heed again, maybe less grudgingly.

Then the next, until we realize that we can depend on our own Intuition, this friend-guide-philosopher, and lead a happy and spiritually satisfying life which is materially not too bad either.

The only way to develop one's intuition is to follow that thought in your mind which seems to have popped up from nowhere.

It seems like nowhere because it has come from too close. From deep within!

In Mandar's case, I think it was his Intuition telling him to check things, that may be the time was not right for him.

Again, he can check back based on what has happened since then in his personal life which brought about this proffessional change of plans.

Also, things may not have worked out as promised or as promisingly as was expected then, so he may have been saved difficult times in America.

It may have been imperative for him to learn right here, along with certain other things falling in place for some others, of which he may or not be aware right now at a conscious level.

So here, it was his intuition which warned him about the coincidence !

Each of us has gone through something similar.

It causes less anxiety and disappointment when we analyse at teast in retrospect and close it for good.

Listen to your conscience through your intuition, and stay on the ethical, the right path.

You wont have to do anything seperately to become spiritual.

In other words, you may already be spiritual and not even know it, and thats the best way to be!

So long for now -
