Intuitive Thinking:
Clearing the Way
by Karen

Copyright © 2007, 2008
Intuitive thinking rules our
inner realms. Truth and integrity are stalwart members of the
foundation of this thinking process. It is the way we express
inner knowledge and our innermost truths. While some distract
themselves with external stimuli there is a growing group of citizens
who understand that intuitive thinking is a form of knowledge and that
Knowledge equals Power.
Where do we go to release
ourselves from the enslavement of rigid, repetitive, analytical thinking
that creates a narrow scope that can sometimes feel like it's choking
the life force out of us? This type of thinking and living can
sometimes create an atmosphere where it's easier to go unconscious and
not ask questions. This lack of curiosity and vision where you
believe whatever is said to be the acceptable way of thinking and of
addressing situations or problems.
Like an active growing cancer
cell, this unconscious thought process creates a force field that eats
away at any potential for new growth in thinking, speaking and accessing
the intuitive highway map of information.
Intuitive thinking has a
broadband power that can be exercised and controlled as a tool and used
to be the best advantage and in the highest good of all. It must
always be used in a manner of highest integrity. Any
deviation from this path will bring with it appropriate justice from
universal law.
STILLNESS
So often our lives are fraught with commotion and busyness of day-to-day living.
We hold a treasury of gems within us but frequently create commotion, chaos,
disorder, disarray... anything that keeps us from engaging in that internal
stillness. This stillness is in each of us but there can be an underlying
fear of pain in embracing this stage so that some will do almost anything to
keep it at bay.
This does not come from your ordinary
waking consciousness. It comes from your unconsciousness and impacts on
many levels stopping you from creating the type of life you truly want to live.
It can nurture the fear inside and make you even more resistant to change.
It can make your verbal communications quite volatile and throw your energy
right out of sync.
We need to consciously choose
to desist from this negative internal warfare and allow ourselves to move
forward.
THE POWER OF
PRAYER
The power of prayer has
been with us since the earliest recorded times. It's a way to communicate
and focus the energy and the thought to create action. Whatever form of
prayer you use, and there are many forms, it is the simple formula of creating a
clear intention, focusing your awareness on the intention and enlisting the help
of the divine or universal consciousness and then letting it go.
Trust the outcome will be in the
highest good of all concerned and simply embrace and celebrate that intention.
The power of prayer and the power of thought are not regulated or dictated by
any religious dogma, political or spiritual affiliations: they are free
for all.
THE POWER OF THOUGHT
The power of thought creates the link of allowing yourself to just be.
Be in the moment, no expectations, no requirements, allowing you to with the
energy. so often in our ordinary waking consciousness trips us by bringing
to the surface unrelated and unwanted feelings, thoughts, images... anything to
distract us from the purpose at mind or to sabotage us.
With out ordinary waking
consciousness we need to ensure that we have really grounded ourselves, whether
it's using tried and true coping methods such as: visualizing roots from
our feet planted firmly in the ground, or a solid metal tube dropping down from
our spine connecting us to the earth to ensure we are in a calm, centered space
where we have clarity, instead of being bogged down by worrisome, self-defeating
and self-sabotaging messages keeping us from moving forward with gentle
awareness for who we are and what we represent..
COMMUNICATION STYLES
We are part of creating a group consciousness which paves the way for a new
style of communication. Understand that we have already entered a whole
new frontier. Communication is about how we receive and relay
information and express it to others. Some rules may still apply but he
guidelines are set out by us and the expectations we as a society have bought
into.
Our communications can be laden with
underlying tensions. There is much energy loaded into even our most
innocuous exchanges. On the surface what is a seemingly innocent
conversation upon reflection can be littered with much deeper meaning.
Our words are only a small fraction
of the transaction; much more takes place on the energetic and symbolic level.
Many stay unaware of the energetic impact this places on our system and the
system of those surrounding us.
Displaced thoughts just like
displaced people have an energy and create a force field. The more we try
to conceal the more we unwittingly reveal about the deeper meanings because
we're investing more energy into them.
DIRECTION
Although all directions eventually lead us home, we become entangled in the
internal murmurings of self-doubt. Sometimes we hit an impasse not knowing
which track to follow. How do I know I am moving ahead in the direction
that is right for me?
Others appear to seamlessly move upon
their path, but you catch yourself thinking it's different for me. What if
I take the wrong step? The wrong direction? The wrong decisions?
Then, where will I be?
Let's start with where you wouldn't
be. You wouldn't be deeply ensconced in inertia. You wouldn't be
paralyzed by fear. Your life wouldn't be stagnating. You would be
moving ahead. The energy and the mechanisms of the lifecycle would be
continually flowing and you would be creating change.
IS
THIS THE END
We are here to bring about change within ourselves and our global community.
Change within and change throughout which sometimes feels like a daunting task.
We live in a society that honours and
cherishes free speech, yet we seem constantly erecting barriers to block our own
progress on freedom of thought. It is freedom of thought that exposes and
reveals us for who we are.
O Conversations with others are not
solely the important dialogues that we have in our life. Sometimes the
dialogues that we have within ourselves can help to free or imprison us even
deeper into the unconscious patterns that hold and caress us into a stupefying
silence that can enter our soul. If we can honour ourselves and those with
whom we engage, then we are creating a field of integrity, of ethics, of beauty
in pursuing our own inner truths.
