Intuition
When an intuition about something comes in, it comes in as feelings, scattered energy, a knowing sense, making it very difficult to access what is coming through in the same way as remembering a dream. It’s fuzzy and vague, but in spite of this, there’s a strong feeling that something important is coming through. The combination of the feelings and the intensity of something coming through distinguish it from something that comes through the intellect. It is precisely the messiness, feeling sense that makes it clear that it’s coming from a higher place.
It may take hours or days for it to finally emerge with clarity. When it does, the fog of confusion around it completely lifts, and the light of illumination shines. Divine timing sets in and when the flow of insight comes through, it comes in crystal clear, as if there never was any confusion. All the disconnected pieces suddenly fit together perfectly. The intellect moves out of the way because it has no place when this comes through. In fact the intellect tends to get overwhelmed and blown by the energy of intuition. When it moves, there is no stopping it, it’s like a high speed train bound for a destination and it is unstoppable.
I don’t understand this process, I’ve just observed it as happens. It can be frustrating when the intuition first comes in because it is so strong, but without clarity. You have to be patient, wait and listen until the pathway opens up for the insights to flow. It cannot be forced or pushed, it simply won’t work and whatever comes through won’t be genuine. Trusting in divine timing is essential when using the gift of intuition.
Not easy, but absolutely necessary.
Perhaps over time, the gap between when something first comes in and when it becomes clear shortens, perhaps our resistance plays a role in the amount of time it takes, or perhaps it’s simply a matter of preparing ourselves experientially for what is coming through. Perhaps our experience has to align with the messages we receive so the two meet and clarity comes out of that.
Though sometimes, I wish I knew things before they came in. A lot of grief and pain might have been avoided. Who knows? There is perfection to way these things work, so it is probably best not to question the way it works. But it seems harder than it needs to be. I only hope this will change in time.
