A lesson well learned William...I'm sorry it came too late for you.

Hi All,

I used to call this 'my gut instincts' but now refer to it as intuition or intuitive inspiration. This has been with me as far back as I can remember. In recent years I have learned to put more faith in my intuition.

I have found that when I follow in intuition I never encounter harm or worries. I have also found that when I do not follow my intuition I end up in some type of trouble.

I will suggest that we all are capable of receiving intuitive inspiration and it really does not matter where in the world we live. All that is required is that we open ourself up inside for it to happen. If we can clear our mind and our heart of desires and the clutter of the physical world we will open ourself to the power of the Creator.

In Taoism, this power is called Chi. It is the life force. It is what permeates all things. I think I could call it "The Great Spirit".

I trust my intuition. Sometimes my desires do get in the way. Sometimes my ego causes me to do things contrary to what my intuition was trying to guide me toward. But always, my intuition has been my most reliable guide.

Peace & Love!

I have a very good intuition for people. Many of my friends & family will ask me for advice. I will get an uneasy feeling around people who don't seem right.

Seems many of us have learned to listen...too bad we miss so many of the warnings though...of course then we'd never learn our lessons would we? Hmm...

It seems to be especially hard for the modern american to listen to the inner voices when we have a deluge of information streaming at us. The cell phone, fax, lan line, computer, TV, movies....all this extraneous info suffusing us in information overload. Not surprised when an individual misses or dismisses a red flag. But saddened...

[Goalseexere]

Excellent point! I'll have to think on that a bit...see if not listening or watching the news helps.

[AutocadOemM]

I think it is wisdom, but not watching the news doesn't help, Connie. Most of mankind is clustered into very small population centers where noise is a round the clock thing. That is where a person must ignore...but that is very, very difficult. You are in a better position to do it than most, though, through journeying.

Agreed...and thank you.

Paying Attention To Red Flags
Just as the universe wants to provide for our needs, it also seeks to protect us from dangerous situations, destructive relationships, and even minor inconveniences. Frequently in our lives, perhaps everyday, we encounter psychic red flags warning us of potential problems or accidents. We may not always recognize the signs. However, more often than not, we may choose to ignore our intuition when it tells us that "something just isn't right."

Red flags often come in the form of feelings urging us to pause for a moment, listen to our intuition, and reconsider. We may even experience a "bad" feeling in our bellies. This is a red flag letting us know that there may be a problem. We may not even know what the red flag is about. All we know is that the universe is trying to wave us in a different direction. We just have to pay attention and go another way. We may even wonder whether we are paranoid or imagining things. However, when we look back at a situation or relationship where there were red flags, it becomes easy to understand exactly what those warning signs meant. More often than not, a red flag is not a false warning. Rather, it is the universe's way of informing us, through our own innate guidance system, that our path best lies elsewhere.

We may try to ignore the red flags waving our way, dismissing our unease as illogical. Yet it is always in our best interest to pay attention to them. For example, we may meet someone who outwardly seems perfect. They are intelligent, attractive, and charming. Yet, for some reason, being around them makes us feel uneasy. Any interactions we have with them are awkward and leave us feeling like there is something "off" about the situation. This is not necessarily a bad person. But, for some reason, the universe is directing us away from them. Red flags are intended with our best interests at heart. No harm can ever come from stopping long enough to heed a red flag. Pay attention to any red flags that pop up. The universe is always looking out for you. http://www.dailyom.com/articles/2006/1679.html

Thanks, Connie! A welcome reminder to trust the universe on this one, as hard as it may be sometimes! Glad you posted it!

[12Dvop4I]

This is very true. Way too often, we don't listen to our instincts. Thanks, Connie!

[Abnorbprootly]

Totally agree excellent post Sis!!

I trust that more then anything,especially in my profession, my gut,hair on my neck (how ever one wants to say it).Has saved my butt on a few occasions.

Learned at a early age when something doesn't feel right 9 times out of 10 it isn't.


When the universe speaks (even with the weather)I pay attention.

One day in 1946 I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen to me.
Had I listened to my intuition I might have avoided a terrible accident and not have spent the last 59 years with a cane in one hand and a mess of plates in one leg. Unfortunately, intuitons rarely paint a clear picture for you and humans
do not have the instincts, which I believe, are much stronger than intuition. Just ask a dog.

Great post, Connie. Thank you.
