Unlimited Horizons
Our Intuitive Channel Now - we are programmed to accept as 'real', as relevant only what we perceive with our senses, - we deeply suspect knowledge arising from within.
We distrust insights that bypass accepted, time-honored paths like schools or books, or were not certified by 'higher' authorities like science, religion etc.
And we take us for logical beings who think and plan and analyze before we commit ourselves to action. Intuition is something we wouldn't use to steer our life with.
Yet our life is far less rational than we believe. In daily life we use fantastic mechanisms we hardly ever are aware of: - With lightning speed we judge extremely complex, multilayered situations for which intellectual analysis would be by far too slow. We handle this ability with dreamlike certainty, though mostly entirely unaware how complex this really is.
A simple example: We want to cross a street. A car approaches that intersects our intended path. In one brief moment - before we either step onto the road or not - we judge the totality of the situation in all its multiplicity.
We register the car's speed, width of the street and the driver's leeway to avoid us. We take in visibility, road condition and if the car's velocity would be too fast for all these factors.
We assess our strength to safely reach the other side - and also our capacity to speed up should we have misjudged. We consider whether we need to cross before the car, i.e. how far we may be pressed by time, - an assessment that opens even more intricate psychological dimensions.
