intuition & self

[A friend and I had a conversation about my last post.  This is a conglomeration of that conversation and our thoughts.]

There is such thing as intuition, and we all make a knee jerk judgment on the kind of person someone is when we first meet them.  You can sense a person's spirit.  That's the one thing that connects us all together.  A divine spirit dwells in us.  When we are in the presence with others who share the same spirit, it draws us toward one another for fellowship.  So even meeting my friend’s mom for 15 minutes, it was long enough for her to sense my true spirit.

Animals pick up on that WAY better than people too.  They can sense a person’s aura or vibe, and they react to it.  Babies share that ability too.  But as we grow up we get good at lying and building walls, so that it makes it really difficult for us to 'sense' another person's spirit.  Essentially, we get more complicated.  We learned how to build walls to keep others out and ourselves in. 

Sometimes I wonder if we are really scared of Ourselves or is it just that we are scared to accept and recognize the life force we are walking around with.  Our complication comes from denying Him to a degree... and hiding from ourselves really is just our lame attempt of Hiding from Him.  What are we scared of seeing when we really take a look at ourselves?  That we aren't truly self-sufficient and that we have to depend on a higher power?

I think people lack a sense of awareness about themselves and others.  Without awareness, you walk blind.  A LOT of people do that.  Some shy away from themselves completely.  They choose to walk in a fog of self-fulfilling desires.  There are even people who are aware, but if they sit alone, they’re too scared to truly sit with themselves and instead fill their mind with so much noise from the material world.  They do everything to keep the stillness of quiet out.

To best know others, you must first know yourself.
