Intuition is an ill defined and much discussed term or concept, and most would agree that the discussion leads to no where fast. Few people who talk about intuition do so from the place of experiencing it on command. Even fewer are speaking from a place of knowing how to help people experience their own intuition.

There’s so much misinformation flying at us about using and developing our intuition that the worthwhile info continues to get buried under a heap of useless and impractical emotions, feelings, perceptions and sabotaging thoughts.  No doubt, this will keep happening until the correct ideas become so mainstream that all the stupid talk can finally die down.

Some day the only discussion about intuition will come from our friends, the Historians.   They will study the times when people did not know how to access their own intuition, and we will all shake our heads at the ridiculous antics of human beings who insisted they were only using their ‘pure, practical intuition’.  (Sounds funny, doesn’t it?)

What I’m saying is, a lot of talk about a subject usually means that no one knows what he or she is talking about.  If enough people did know, the subject of how to develop human intuition would be a thing of the past.  Sad to say, the more misinformation circulating through the ethers about intuition means the less chance people have of actually experiencing it in this lifetime.

For example, some experts like to qualify intuition by calling it ‘pure’ or ‘practical’.  Words like ‘pure’ and ‘practical’ when applied to anything always bring to mind the words like ‘impure’ and ‘impractical’, and I don’t think these adjectives can be applied to intuition with much success. They just further sully or confuse the concept of any noun, thus implying that without the word ‘pure’ or ‘practical’, intuition can be dirty and/or frivolous.

There are experts galore that tell us how to train or develop our intuition—they clog up my email inbox on a daily basis. Wouldn’t the best way to ‘develop’ intuition come from someone who actually uses intuition—someone who realizes that intuition doesn’t need developing or training?

Intuition is just there hanging out, waiting in our human tool box–waiting to be separated from the other mental processes.  Happy to say, the separation takes less than sixty seconds when you know how to do it.

Speaking of which, explore what the leading Grandmaster of Shaolin Kung Fu, Kam Yuen, has to say about the subject of intuition. You can even join his private club for a monthly teaching teleseminar.  Grandmaster Yuen not only explains in clear detail what intuition is, but his explanation comes from the place of one who uses it all the time and teaches others to do so.

Many experts have jumped on the intuition bandwagon without a clue about where it’s going or how to get there.  Thankfully, Dr. Yuen is different.  He watches the intuition bandwagon headed for nowhere and continues to make the internal adjustments that are required among those who ask for them.

Everyone is naturally endowed with intuitive ability–including men. This innate intelligence gives us the potential to expand our minds to connect with answers and answers connect with us. There is nothing spiritual or psychic about the process of intuition.

Contrary to popular talk, intuition does not need developing or training.  It is just one of our mental processes. If we can separate the mind from its thinking and feeling, and separate the emotions, senses and perceptions from each other intuition will function independently and the human race will finally become ‘human’.

Mind over chatter is a funny oxymoron.

Oftentimes my conscious mind chatters nonstop! It’s a regular dictating bastard much of the time.

Making matters worse, my mind used to think itself ‘omnipotent’, and in so doing was fooled into believing that this was so. I remember when it raced out of control over minutiae, attacking not only itself but every other component in sight, i. e the body and the spirit.

So I’ve come to this decision: My worst enemy is housed within.  (A worst enemy is one you don’t identify as such.)

I suspect, though, that most everyone thinks his mind is god and I guess it sort of is.  The mind, after all, is fully aware of all our weaknesses and will attack relentlessly and without mercy until there is nothing left.

People who rely on their mind too much drown in the specifics of life. Not a very comforting thought, especially since I’ve seen it happen to people I love.

I remember having a heart to heart talk about the mind vs. intuition with my friend (a male friend, of course). It wasn’t that heated, but we were going around the usual points over and over getting nowhere. And I don’t remember why I was bothering to argue about it, either.

He finally said, “It doesn’t matter what you or anyone else says, Laura. A long time ago I decided that my mind was the best thing about me. I value my logical mind above all else.”

Well, Scott,” I answered without thinking, “You might want to remember that it was your mind who decided this about itself.”

He froze in place with his mouth hanging open for a full three seconds. I felt like I’d paralyzed him with the logic he so adored by out logic-ing him, but it was pretty much an empty victory. I had no idea how to correct the pitiful situation. It’s only recently that I found something that works.

Which brings me to here—what to do about the mind. Do we just point out all the stupid decisions it’s made and berate it into submission? That won’t work. I know people who do it all the time. A mind will find a way to ignore its own ineffectiveness.

How about assigning the mind a place of equal importance along with the body and spirit? I mean there are two other components of us—called body and spirit. Rather than letting the mind put itself in the ruling position, let’s examine the equality option.

I have to say I really like the equality option. Many ‘spiritual’ teachers put the Spirit at the top of the heap, but I don’t find that very helpful.  I had 12 years of religious schooling. The folks who consistently repress the flesh are incomplete and weird to the point that their personality often splits into two separate components under the pressure.

I don’t think most people realize how crazy the Spirit really is. Put bluntly, the spirit is one crazy mofo. It has access to each and every experience— not only its own, but everyone else’s, especially if you choose to go the psychic route and open yourself to other people’s spiritual experiences.

‘Lions and tigers and bears’ of the past present and future are bad enough when they are your own. Expose yourself to everyone else’s lions and tigers and bears and you’ve got bedlam to the infinite.

My point is this: The spirit is a valuable and necessary component of the mind/body/spirit triad but not a reliable teacher on its own. More often than not it is willing to sacrifice the mind and the body just to get its own way. And then it has to glom onto another body/mind for the next physical go round. You’d think the Spirit would learn after ten thousand bodies or so…..I rest my case.

Let’s just say that I value my body as much as my spirit. Maybe when I don’t have one I’ll value it even more, or maybe less. That time will come soon enough on its own. I don’t need my spirit to hasten the process by letting in run wild and roughshod over my body and mind, trying to make up for all the karma it wears like a sackcloth. How long are we expected to make up for our karma by suffering and creating more?

Enough said.

Now I come to the people like my logical friend Scott, the kind who give the mind more importance than the body or the spirit—the ‘scientific, classical philosophers amongst us. I’ve been there, too, so I’m not throwing stones at the philosophers. (Pardon the pun.)

I can remember when I held my head up, balanced high on the pretense of pure logic. I’ve lived by suppressing, repressing and denying that my emotions played any role in my so-called logical decisions. Suppressed, forgotten emotions make for some nasty but exciting outcomes. If you like excitement for its own sake then be my guest. You can even forget your bad experiences until your good ones get forgotten too. Alzheimer’s can’t be that bad if you’re the one who has it. (Pause to smell the sarcasm.)

Thankfully, I’ve found a system that can take care of the repressed, suppressed, shut down, denied and forgotten experiences, plus all the emotions they generate. It works like nothing else—the Yuen Mastery System. The only thing you really need is the correct information and that’s where the system excels.

The mind is not a clean component without this system, folks.

The fact is, without this system, the mind is a saboteur extraordinaire, quite capable of sabotaging itself 100% of the time. The mind needs very much to be protected from itself, or it can’t get to its own infinite potential. (Sigh)

We shouldn’t be surprised to learn that the mind can sabotage everything else too—-everything else being the body and the spirit.

So we correct for that. After a few informative corrections are in place it’s a snap. Corrections are made on the midline (that line down the middle of the front of our bodies). By putting some energy or attention there, until the corrections just happen naturally, we can change most anything that was unwisely considered to be unchangeable about human beings.

In other words, in two seconds or less, we can do away with mental sabotage or at least bring it down to a minimum just by knowing what we want to do and putting some attention on our midline to strengthen or correct the weaknesses.

Once the mind is corrected not to sabotage itself, we look at the body: Since the body expects the mind to sabotage it, we correct for that weakness too—once again on the midline. We correct the body to be strong all the way from the quantum particles up to the structure and back again.

Oh the joy of the midline!
