Duh, silly me. See what happens when one comes to conclusions? They only get you to the partial truth. :wink:

Thats why the word allowance is used.

Thats why phrases like creating opennings for more to flow in are used.

Yes, its a very loose and fluid process.

Say I have a circle 3 yards wide around me. I can only accomodate what can fit in it. If I open it up I have made room for more.

Think of the mind and heart like the circle.

Everything is out there. Sometimes its a matter of moving yourself from your fixxed position over to where what you wish for is sitting and placing your circle around.

To do that, you have to be willing to leave and let go of a fixxed position. Thats the tough part for people.

Also, they are so busy holding tight to what they do have in hand that they can't open to more at the same time. If you are holding tightly to a straw, how can you also put a block in your hand? You have to relax your grip on the straw and open the fingers first.

the specifics? I can tell you the process I generally have to go to if I want intuition to control me in an activity.

Well, I find that the intuitive part of the brain isn't keen to being part of your immediate consciousness.

It's a challenge to do this right, but essentially you get your conscious mind to concentrate on something as analytically as it possibly can. It sounds a little odd, but your body will act on its own if you let intuition be in control.

You basically create optimum conditions in your mind for the intuitive side and bolster that by becoming very, very aware of the topic/scene at hand.


The problem with the above is that it is very, very hard to balance keeping the intuitive side in complete control while remaining consciously focused on the topic at hand. However, I'm learning to do this more automatically ( kind of slowly, sadly. It's hard to let go of your control and yet still have part of you be in control.. )

Hmmm interesting. I use intuition in a lot of ways. I liked best when I get in a zen mode and am just hooked in the effortless flow of it.

Sometimes, I get knocked out of rhythm. In those times, I am usually met with a conflict, two ways to go, not knowing which to take.

At that point, I put a strong focus on one choice, "like the hands together in the water, then open then and feel around what sort of waters flow in to feel the space. Then I do it with the other choice.

One usually feels like danger warning don't go there message and the other feels good. Sometimes, bits of imagery comes with them.

After that, I engage in reflective analysis of the results. I start to see more of the details and usually am redirected back into the effortless flow again.

In a way that relates to what you said about using intense focus, letting go of control and then regaining it through analysis and redirection.

It's never steered me wrong. I am always pleased with the results when I follow it.

Hmmm maybe play around with the idea that the only thing you are in control of is openning up to it or not.

After that, intution steers and powers my ride. Yes, giving up your control over the steering wheel, breaks and gas peddle is a wierd feeling.

It takes a lot of trust. The more we experience it to steer is towards our ideals the easier it gets to trust in it.
