“Intuition is the clear conception of the whole at once.”~Johann Kaspar Lavater
Just as the pupils of our eyes can expand and contract spontaneously depending on the light, our intuitive awareness also has the ability of expanding and contracting depending on our need and desire…expanded intuition occurs when we are in a state of deep relaxation which expands the door to our intuitive mind freeing many of its extraordinary qualities including creativity and imagination…a baby is naturally in a state of expanded intuition and can notice beauty and experience delight wherever it wanders being fully appreciative of the new, while in the “now”.
But as the child grows older, there is a narrowing of intuition…the primary cause of this change is the developing rational mind with its tendency to divide everything into small pieces. ..when entering school, our educational process is designed to focus on the importance of narrow consciousness through the accumulation of information…it is believed the more we master these rational subjects , the better student we become…there is very little or no attention given to the valuable gifts of expanded intuition…Albert Einstein has said, “the only thing interfering with my learning is my education”.
We can enter a state of expanded intuition when we are totally involved in an activity that captures our full attention ….at such time we forget both our self and the sense of time…they are highly enjoyable experiences and our performance is usually excellent…hopefully this activity may becomes a major part of our lifestyle.
