I guess I had never really taken the time to look at the
word intuition. But knowing me, it was bound to happen eventually! So if you
break it down into two words you get in tuition. Surprisingly, that surprised
me. I had never noticed the wisdom of that before.
Yet, there it is as plain as day, the truth about intuition.
The most literal meaning being, in instruction or more accurately for my human
journey, in the process of learning. And what better way to learn than by using
my intuition, my inner knowing? There is
where I find the less literal meaning, inner tuition – instruction gained
within, at that place where all wisdom, all knowing can be found, a place I
would call Divine wisdom. Why would I want to live any other way?
Well, it’s not so much that I would want to live another
way, but that I sometimes allow myself to get distracted by the daily human
stresses, problems, issues, etc. I mentioned that it is a human journey right?
So it then becomes a process of stillness. In any moment I
can choose to be still and listen for that instruction, that wisdom within me.
In any moment I can choose to focus my attention on my inner knowing rather
than my outer distractions and then live from that place, interact with the
distractions from that place. It definitely shifts my perspective on what is
before me.
When I allow my intuition to guide me more clearly and more
regularly, then those distractions become something else all together, they
become moments in the classroom. They also begin to lose the power that I have
given them to even be what I would call a distraction; they lose their power to
create stress or disruption in my life and instead can become objects of
gratitude for lessons learned.
Most importantly, when I am allowing for the stillness to
listen to the inner wisdom, that inner wisdom and knowing eventually become the
expression of my being. That is my goal; to be a pure expression of that inner,
Divine wisdom and energy. Will I achieve that goal in this lifetime? For me
that is irrelevant. The practice of it is enough to shift my life and even the
world around me in a positive way and so I will continue on my journey of inner
tuition.
As intuition would have it, I listened to the nudge to wait
and post this after my morning walk today. Why? Apparently so that as a
confirmation of this line of thought I would see a car drive by me with the
license plate Hear Now. : ) I smiled inside and out.
PS - Would my intuition ever lead
me astray? How could it when the origin of the word intuition comes from the
Latin word tuitionem (nom. tuitio) meaning "a looking after, defense,
guardianship?” How comforting to know that there is something within me that is
always looking after me.
