Both of the above concepts
have no scientific research to support that they exist. Yet, you will find people across the globe who have experienced both. They may not admit it, but they have.
Intuition is accepted,
while premonition is scoffed at. Why is that? Both concepts are based on
knowing something without rational thought or conscious reason.
So what makes them so
different?
Intuition is knowledge
based; I can accept that my brain can work faster that I can follow; leading to
knowledge that I consciously didn’t give any thought to.
Premonition is event
based. Is it possible that my brain did
the same series of leaps across my memories to arrive at a conclusion that a
specific event will happen? This one is
harder to swallow. Events are people interacting
with the world. People you have no
control over, therefore, how is it possible know that a specific event will
happen?
We learn from our own
history. We learn from our own mistakes and
hurts. Yes, we learn from triumphs and happiness too, but the sharper lessons
come from the unpleasant consequences of failure.
Should we dwell on those
mistakes and hurts, continuing to poke at them like a half healed bruise, re-feeling
all the ugliness?
No. It happened. You learned. (at least I hope you learned something)
Move forward.
But don’t forget. Never forget.
Forgive and forget is a
joke. Forgive yes. But forget? Never.
Hold a grudge like it’s
the most precious thing in the world? No. that’s not healthy either.
It happened. Do you know why? Maybe.
Faced with the same circumstances in the future, would you make the same
choices? Maybe.
Hurt me once, shame on
you.
Hurt me twice, shame on
me.
I’ve burnt myself many
times. On the stove, the oven, a campfire;
regardless of the type of burn, it hurts.
A lot.
Yet, standing outside a
burning building would I hesitate to dash in to save one of my loves? Hell no. In a millisecond
my head and heart weigh all the possibilities and I make a decision before
realizing I’ve actually made a decision.
Physically putting yourself at risk is one thing. Emotionally putting
yourself at risk is quite another thing entirely.
We don’t listen to
ourselves. We continually ignore signs and signals from our hearts and heads because it’s all internal. Easily ignored and pushed aside.
We don’t stop to
listen.
We don’t stop to hear.
We get lost in the sea
of emotions and we don’t stop to breathe.
We get lost in the mucky
mud that are the lows.
We get lost in the starry
skies that are the highs.
You can’t un-know
something. You will always know
2+2=4. You never forget how to ride a
bike. Apply the same concept to your mind and heart.
Is it possible that
evolution has given us the ability to unconsciously sort through our personal histories to guide us through the
future?
Intuition and premonition.
Two very personal internal
processes that we are afraid to listen to.
Afraid to believe the
negative is going to happen.
Afraid that the positive
won’t happen if it doesn't happen now.
How could I possible know about what’s going to happen when I have no control over
anyone but myself?
A slight uneasiness in
your gut? Something not feel right?
Listen to your heart. Continue along your path, after all, you have
no “real” reason not to.
But. Stop.
Take a moment - late at
night, while you’re mindlessly folding the endless piles of laundry, or while
you’re stuck in traffic, to look at those feelings. Why, in spite of all the awesomeness
in your world, do you have the foreboding sense that it’s about to crash down
around you?
Then. Weigh it.
Continue on or make
changes.
It’s just like the snap decision
made before dashing into the burning building. Only, now, there is time to make a
choice.
You. have. to. choose.
You know what? Even choosing to ignore the feelings
is making a choice.
Not making a choice?
Still a choice. You are choosing to not
make a choice.
At the opposite end of
the spectrum. It hurts so terribly when your head and heart scream at you that that,
over there, is right......
.....but right is just not gonna happen.
You want to be
happy. But, unfortunately, you have no
control over anyone but yourself.
So, stop.
Take a moment. Then, let
it go.
Yearning, chasing,
mooning over a right that is out of
your reach is a waste of time.
Accept that, yes, that
is right. So right it hurts.
Every bone in your body knows that that is right.
Then, accept that right is
not right, right now.
There is nothing more agonizing than to see a right, walk toward it, and pass it.
without touching.
Is that the only right that you will ever stumble upon?
without touching.
Is that the only right that you will ever stumble upon?
Maybe. maybe not.
Remember two things:
timing's a bitch.
and
today is not tomorrow.
