Misconceptions surrounding intuition

A number of misconceptions surround intuition. On the one hand, it is seen as a gift, and on the other, intuition is synonymous with clairvoyance!

Do you really believe that if you develop your intuition, you will be able to pick the winning numbers in the lottery or predict when and how the next devastating earthquake will occur?

To that question, I answer no.

Please emphasize this aspect; I believe this reflection will enlighten many people.

Good evening Rolande,

The truth is the one that each of us believes to possess!

Sincerely
The magician.

Good evening, the Magician…

The truth is the one that each of us believes to possess…

From my point of view, I hold no truth, which is why an open mind requires non-judgment and asking questions… I have never believed that one person or a group of people holds the truth… every point of view is debatable, etc… that is why we question… we surrender, we question the meaning of life, etc… some philosophers have said that the truth is only found once you are in your grave… moreover, we have many testimonies from people who have experienced physical death and returned, but can these people truly testify to the truth… The Truth with a capital T… allow me to doubt… and to continue searching for this truth, and I will never stop… lol

Best regards/Rolande

Good evening, Rolande,

None of us holds the truth, but many of us believe we do!
Everything is debatable, that’s true, but the true truth is that of the end, for everyone will go through this end-of-life stage.
If we possessed the truth, the world would not be what it is; life itself is a quest for truth intertwined with why and how.
The truth lies within each of us, and I fear that we will only discover it after taking stock of our lives.

Friendship
The magician.

Good evening Lemagicien, you seem quite the sociologist or philosopher, lol.. Yes, having taken stock of our lives lol … yes, there is a gap between holding the truth and believing you hold it lol:)

Hello,
I lingered a bit on this post and ultimately decided to add my two cents.
On this matter, do you truly believe that if you develop your intuition, you will be able to pick the winning lottery numbers or predict when and how the next devastating earthquake will occur?
I think premonitory dreams can help you win the lottery. So why not?
I am going to tell you about a dream I had a long time ago that left a mark on me:
One night in my dream, I am given three lottery balls, and I say yes, but I need six to win, so I refuse and do not take the balls, while stating that I would have to choose from the remaining 39 balls, which is not easy. I wake up during the night and write nothing down, but I memorize everything and fall back asleep. I tell myself that if I win, I will play random numbers because I had forgotten and had not written anything down. Still, I had the three numbers I had played at random and the three numbers I had not played.
Once again, I am given the lottery numbers, and the same scenario repeats, except this time I do not wake up at night, do not write them down, do not memorize them, and do not play. In the second dream, I said that I did not want them and that, with or without their help, I would win on the fortieth attempt. In hindsight, I have realized that if I had been able to, I would have won.
Food for thought…
Kind regards

Hello everyone,

Here is what I think about intuition.
For those who have embarked on a spiritual journey, intuition would be a kind of inner voice, a message from our consciousness or from a "guide" often referred to as a "guardian angel."

I also believe that the more we develop our intuition, the more we boost our self-confidence.

There you go, I completely agree with this theory, Eliana: the more we value ourselves, the more our intuition grows, and I reiterate what you wrote at the bottom of your post: I put God at the forefront of my success and constantly thank Him, and if our intuition were a conversation with our inner God of love.

Thank you for this wonderful exchange

Rolande

Hello Rolande,

YES, and what if our intuition were a conversation with our inner God!
We all come from a universal whole, and that whole is “God,” our inner God.
That is my deep and true thought…

Thank you, dear Rolande, for everything you bring to this site.

Good evening!

I had noted this elsewhere without quite knowing where to put it, but I think it fits better here, so I’m bringing it back:

In at least two of the “free” consultations I had, I was told that I had clairvoyance gifts I was unaware of, and I was offered, for a fee of course, to be taught how to develop them. But I hardly believe it. I’m willing to accept that I sometimes have intuitions that turn out to be right, but that’s a long way from having gifts. In your opinion, isn’t this just another made-up trick to fleece the clients?

On the other hand, my intuitions, which I will use here as a synonym for clairvoyance, have a way of unsettling my friend. Let me explain: a year ago, I warned him that the money he had lent to a friend of his was not a loan but a gift, and that he would not get his money back. At the time, he called me mean, said it was false, and that she was going to inherit money and pay him back. Since then, he has had a hard time admitting it, but he has acknowledged that I was right.
However, when I tell him that I am almost certain she is aware of our relationship, he still refuses to believe me. He continues to “hide” our relationship from her under the pretext of protecting her.
I admit that she is seriously ill, but I think she doesn't need to be protected; she's just taking advantage of him.
Finally, now whenever I start saying “I have a hunch,” he becomes suspicious.
Finally, to say that in my opinion, this has absolutely nothing to do with clairvoyance. And my “intuitions or clairvoyances” are rather more mathematical than spiritual in connotation.
A “friend” who sometimes had flashes before being too exhausted by a recent bereavement claimed that my intuitions came from the waves she was sending me. I find it hard to believe.
Give me your opinion on the subject, I'm interested.
Thanks, have a good evening

I think we all have more or less intuition; now it’s up to us to develop it. And to know whether we want to or not. And to know whether it’s clairvoyance or not. Or a very strong feeling in certain situations (like the one experienced with the borrowed money).

The hardest part: not confusing deep desire and intuition! How to tell them apart?

Hello Claudiac!

Nice to see you again, it's a pleasure.
It is true that it is sometimes difficult to distinguish desire from intuition, but in this particular case, as you can well imagine, my desire would rather be that my intuition had been wrong.

From there to whether or not to develop it, there is probably a manual, I don't know. I suppose one has to know how to focus, relax well, and clear one's mind.
That, I have never been able to do. Letting go, not thinking anymore, not feeling anything anymore; I have tried to make the effort, but to no avail.

But another of my intuitions, as I’ve already told you, is that I won’t be able to find a buyer for my house until my heart finds stability and serenity. I have no idea why I have this intuition, but it’s an inner feeling. I need my heart to know where to finally settle my bags before I leave my home to turn the page on my life, definitively and without regret.

For everything else, I have nothing but doubts.

I look forward to reading from you again.

Hello Mamyol, indeed, yes, there is a user manual for intuition… and how to clear one’s lens of perception. Intuition is indeed an inward gaze, in the heart, as you say.

Rolande

Hello Mamyol,
Thank you.

It is true that it is sometimes difficult to distinguish desire from intuition, but in this particular case, as you can well imagine, my desire would rather be that my intuition had been wrong.

I understand you so well…

Sometimes we would like our intuition to be wrong… and it isn’t…

Has your intuition ever told you things that you don't know whether are true or false? How do you make a decision in that case?

See you soon, ClaudiaC

Good evening Rolande,
Re Claudiac,

Indeed, yes, there is a user manual for intuition… and how to clear your perception lens.

Please, Rolande, how do I clarify things? Because at my place, everything is quite muddled on many subjects that are close to my heart.

Sometimes we wish our intuition were wrong… and it isn’t…

How very true, dear Claudiac!

Has your intuition ever told you things that you don't know whether are true or false? How do you make a decision in that case?

Very often. But my intuitions are always about something that affects me or my loved ones closely, so making an impartial judgment is always very difficult.
Sometimes it takes a very long time to get an answer. Sometimes it never comes at all.

I look forward to reading from you again
Kisses

Hello again Mamyol,

Sometimes it takes a very long time to get an answer. Sometimes it never comes at all.

That's true for me too.

For two “intuitions,” I was partly right and partly wrong years ago.

Are you saying we should be patient and see if our intuition proves correct?

But isn’t it also said that when you really want something, you get it? But it’s less obvious when a second person is involved, isn’t it? Or even a third?

See you soon, ClaudiaC

Hello Mamyol and Claudiac,

In a few hours I have to go to work (and yes, even on Sundays lol) However, I am off tomorrow, so I will come back and we will discuss intuition. Accessing intuition is about finding the way or ways to foster its development. In a way, it’s about finding your intuitive space, observing your body and sensations, freeing the mind, listening to your inner self, your vision, and so on. The intuitive part of us is always present, but the catch is that it doesn’t come on demand (at least not at first). For me, intuition is the ability to know beyond words, to feel the truth without explanation (logic). It operates beyond time and space. It can speak to us through images (symbolic), through revelations, or even sometimes through impulses, lol :) Intuition can synthesize ideas in an instant. So, as I said, we’ll talk about it again tomorrow… See you later
Rolande

Tomorrow I will give you a very pleasant formula to intuit your sleep and help your intuition a little.

Rolande

I’m looking forward to tomorrow because of you two lol
