Intuition or ‘making things up’?

What is the difference between an intuition, such as a feeling or having a sense of something without any real evidence in the material world, hearing an inner voice telling you whether to close or try or not, seeing spirits, angels or other apparitions or simply ‘making things up’? We have probably all had experiences of intuitions, visions, and gut reactions. We’re definitely all experiencing the ‘inner voice’, or maybe you’re wondering right now: ‘Am I talking to myself or not?’ Well, there you go.

What are you doing with those insights, instincts, and inner guidance? You are paying attention? You are listening? Are you judging them as unreal? Are you choking them with constant activity, drugs, or alcohol?

The source of intuition is the collective unconscious, however what you do with it is the question. There are a few ways to react:

1. Not realizing or not being ready

In reality, you may not be aware of all of these signs because your soul is not ready. For you to read this article, I trust you are ready.

2. Avoiding

Compared to not being ready, you are avoiding your inner guidance system. In fact, you are aware of them, but choose to avoid them, probably due to the associated negative feelings (such as fear, anger, sadness, pain) that the message could be creating.

3. Unsafe

You may lack self-confidence or have been told that these visions are not real. You may see the signs, but doubt that they are really happening to you and consider them irrelevant. You are underestimating your self-esteem.

Four. Pretending to be more or less

You probably think that what your gut says isn’t special enough, so you take more advantage of it to feel better about yourself. At the other extreme, you feel like people can’t cope with what’s shown to you, so you simplify the messages or don’t even follow them. This is also due to a lack of self-confidence and self-esteem.

The question we have to ask ourselves is: ‘What is the intention behind the way we are reacting?’
