From our relationship with Intuition, we experience its off-spring, synchronicity: things come together; the dots connect; it works! Intuition as premonition gives us far more than present-moment effectiveness, or keen discernment in linear time. It also gives us 'soul-time':--time to prepare, consider, reflect; tread water. It gives us time to pause in the gap--and get directions for what is coming next.
Like a wave, it can even seem to come back on itself, but keeps its integrity, even as overlapping individual waves retain cohesiveness, slip-sliding over and under each other, yet all of the ocean. When we have Intuition, we don’t have to kill, burn, or chase time--we're on time; time becomes elastic rather than rigid. Instead of "killing it," we live into it, breathe into it, vibrate with it. We flow. We ride what is arriving. We instinctively know what to do next, preparing us for the next pulse. We are in right, timely action, before conclusions. We are prompted!
It’s free, wild and curious. We hop on for the ride as it unfurls. We are not oppressed by it--freed of our usual polarized view of having either too little time, or too much. We are loosed of the swell or dip that preceded; loosed from old definitions/interpretations, fully living in the ripe moment, no longer afraid to be different than we were, riding our arriving; surfer riding skirling, unfurling wave.
This is the way we are designed. We were never meant to assess and navigate our lives only through analysis; we were designed to have Intuition as an ever-present Companion; analysis only a tool. Mystical poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote: "The winds of grace are always blowing, but it is you who must raise your sails." We were meant to be Partners, in co-creation with Intuition. If we are not a participant, Intuition has no one whom to bring synchronicity.
It takes trust to put up our sails--not only trusting the wind, but trusting ourselves. As author Tama Kieves shared in her recent teleconference (www.tamakieves.com), the best predictor of success is how we navigate uncertainty. She points out that many seek first a job, situation, relationship, circumstance to foster peace of mind. She goes on to say, rather, we need first to find peace of mind, then generate from that the job, situation, relationship or circumstance. And, peace of mind comes via our becoming our own ally, by being in our own court, becoming dependable to ourselves, our own consistent supporter--no matter the winds and the tides. We need to become our one dependable thing; rather than fickle, hot-water/cold-water, fly-by-nights.
We only truly get to that when we give up the blame game: blaming others, because we first blamed ourselves, and are then seeking alleviation of that through pointing the finger at someone else. Rather, when we are willing to become conscious of our continual inner narrative, in all its grace and vulgarity, we truly step up to the plate of being our own best friend. When we are that, this is when we can arrive ready to what is arriving to us, with bells on!
