The evolutionary progress in intellect makes it difficult to define what is good and what is bad; who is right and who is wrong! The faculty of reason, after one particular stage, actually becomes obstruction for further clarity -it comes in way of discrimination and intuition. Dr.C.S.Shah.
It is necessary, however, to discriminate between what is your duty and what is not; and the brain-mind cannot help you here. More than likely it will simply be in your way. You will have to seek refuge in the intuitional part of your nature, for intuition is the real, the mystic teacher. It is the voice of the soul in man.
My genius makes distinctions which my understanding cannot, and which my senses do not report.
No man ever had the opportunity to postpone a high calling to a disagreeable duty. Misfortunes occur only when a man is false to his Genius. You cannot hear music and noise at the same time. We avoid all the calamities that occur in a lower sphere by abiding perpetually in a higher. Every human being is the artificer of his own fate in these respects. The well don't have time to be sick Events, circumstances, etc, have their origin in ourselves. They spring from seeds which we have sown.
I have always reaped unexpected and incalculable advantages from carrying out at last, however tardily, any little enterprise which my genius suggested to me long ago as a thing to be done,....some step to be taken, however slight, out of the usual course.
Many of our days should be spent, not in vain expectations and lying on our oars, but in carrying out deliberately and faithfully the hundred little purposes which every man's genius must have suggested to him.
Indeed, it is by obeying the suggestions of a higher light within you,
that you travel totally new paths. Follow your genius closely enough,
and it will not fail to show you fresh prospects every hour. No man
ever followed his genius until it mislead him.
"You will not understand it, as when understanding some particular thing, but with the flower of the mind. Things divine are not attainable by mortals who understand sensual things, but only the light-armed arrive at the summit." Zoroaster.
The imaginative faculty of the soul must be fed with objects immense and eternal.
And what is Genius but finer love, a love impersonal, a love of the flower and perfection of things, when Genius arrives, its speech is like a river; it has no straining to describe, more than there is straining in nature to exist.
The oracles of this truth cease never, it is guarded by one stern condition; this, namely; it is an intuition. It cannot be received at second hand.
Obey the Genius then, most, when his impulse is wildest; then most, when he seems to lead to uninhabitable deserts, of thought and life.
As the traveler who has lost his way, throws his reins on his horse's neck, and trusts to the instinct of the animal to find his road, so must we do with the divine animal who carries us through this world. For if, in any manner we can stimulate this instinct, new passages are opened for us into nature, the mind flows into and through things hardest and highest, and the metamorphosis is possible.
The simplest way to consult your intuition, is to do those things which
you reprove yourself for not doing.
In all human action, those faculties will be strongest which are used the most....and it follows....those faculties will be weakest, which are used the least!
If you can speak what you will never hear, if you can write what you will never read, you have done rare things.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. Albert Einstein.
I read the other day some verses written by an eminent painter which were original and not conventional. The soul always hears an admonition in such lines, let the subject be what it may. The sentiment they instill is of more value than any thought they may contain. To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men, -- that is genius.
I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teachings my blood whispers to me.
Don't follow the advice of others; rather, learn to listen to the voice
within yourself.
Reason need not set itself up as judge when man is passively open to his own intuition; it is therefor not necessary to judge in order to decide.
As you allow your life to be guided by the currents of indigenous wisdom flowing intuitively from within, you find yourself immersed in the animating emanations of the universe. Upon the frequencies of eternal love you rediscover your purpose. You discover that you have access to an ocean of living information. To access this deep intuitive wisdom, one must simply trust and observe the results. Your access code is a child's trust.
It is as simple as following your intuition, following your guidance, acting out of faith rather than fear.
