Almost anyone has it. Some make use of it, others chose not to. It is called intuition, gut feeling or sixth sense. To quote Dr. Benjamin Spock: “Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.”
Many individuals experience instantaneous positive or negative feelings when meeting a stranger or when listening to a new suggestion. This so-called gut feeling encompasses all there is to know. No need for further inquiries or analyses.
Trust it and it will take you where you belong, where your vibrations blend with another’s compatible vibrations that create a new unity, like cells combining and then splitting into different forms again. And so the continuum is preserved, not stagnant, but vibrantly recreating itself into higher new aspects of its former self.
In this modern world, gut feeling is often responsible for major decision making of larger magnitude when the mind simply cannot cope with all the available data that is often contradictory and confusing.
Instinct can be a life saver in situations where there is a language barrier or where communication is forbidden or lost. It can let you know whom to trust and whom not to – opening doors that would otherwise remain closed.
If gut feeling is coupled with naiveté, it can get the individual in awkward or unsafe situations. But it may also bring the individual to heights never imagined possible or hoped to attain.
Gut feeling stems from our evolutionary forerunners where instinct directed life-and-death decisions prior to modern times where scholastic mind development overrules and thereby questions and dismisses these very basic inherited instincts.
The splendid luxury of mental debate, analysis and deduction of the closeted world of theories does not exist in the wild or in a war zone where a split second may be almost too long to consider a fight or flight option.
Automatic response to situations by training are touted important but may still not be appropriate without the comfort of knowing that there was divine direction.
When the mind vacillates back and forth over a seemingly important decision, the appropriate choice has already been made on an unconscious level, but it is being debated by intellect which disagrees with it due to standard data that has been programmed into it. Consider the ‘heads or tail’ toss. You have already decided for the heads up, but are still bargaining with your intellect over the secondary option.
Therefore, don’t stand in the way of the man doing what you think cannot be done!
Consider: If a person may act, instead of must act, he or she has the ability to enjoy acting. Consideration of the possibility of daring leads to new adventures accompanied by new understandings and insights. True wisdom lies in the heart, and not in the brain, as some want to believe. There is only a small distance between the heart and the solar plexus, the nerve center of truth recognition.
Intuition or gut feeling can be detected in the following handwriting specimens.
It is seen in sudden breaks within a word without the loss of rhythm.
This does not apply to print, but only to cursive writing. The mind is engaged in problem solving, but allows for sudden flashes of insight.
Always make shows a break between l and w and y and s.
Ambitious goals, plan carefully, is another excellent example of intuitive breaks without sacrifice of rhythm and speed.
Themselves shows connectedness in the first part of the word and three breaks in the second half.
Abbreviates has five breaks within an 11 letter word.
Whether an individual follows through on their insights depends on other factors such as whether they have the trait of decisiveness or indecisiveness. Many times you have heard people say “I knew I should do it! But…”
If the handwriting shows ambition, will power and stamina, chances are the person is willing to trust the momentary feeling.
If the writing is completely connected without any breaks, the writer is given to logical thinking, arriving at conclusions by way of rational mental analysis. This person will make fewer mistakes.
The person who favors his gut feeling over rationalization is more empowered because there is no unnecessary expenditure of mental energy or time wasted. There may occasionally be a less than perfect outcome, but a high percentage success rate is favored as it cuts out anguish, saves time, and preserves sanity.
