Want

Want (v., Eng.)/ Vouloir (v., Fr.):

• To desire greatly; to wish for.

"Whenever something that you think you want does not unfold, it is for one of two reasons: Either your habit of vibration, your belief, your dominant vibration that you are offering relative to the subject, doesn't match what you think your desire is, or, you and your desire are a perfect match, and this thing you think you want just doesn't match, and so the Universe doesn't deliver it. "

-Abraham Hicks

Intuition

Intuition (n., Eng.)/ Intuition (n. Fr.):

• The act or faculty of knowing or sensing without the use of rational processes; immediate cognition
• Knowledge gained by the use of this faculty; a perceptive insight.
• A sense of something not evident or deducible; an impression.

I have been thinking a lot about intuition lately. I find that I am having a hard time recognizing the difference between my intuition, and the mind's ability to influence my intuitive reactions and make rash conclusions. I came across a couple of viewpoints on intuition that I think are helping me to understand the difference. Of course my goal is now to tune in, listen, trust, and respond to these inner signals.

From Abraham Hicks:

Sometimes you walk into things, that, if you were paying attention, vibrationally, you would know right from the beginning that it wasn't what you are wanting. In most cases, your initial knee-jerk response was a pretty good indicator of how it was going to turn out later. The things that give most of you the most grief are those things that initially you had a feeling response about, but then you talked yourself out of it for one reason or another.

From Dr. Wayne Dyer:

For the non-spiritual being, the concept of intuition can be reduced to a hunch or a haphazard thought that accidentally pops into one's head on occasion. For the spiritual being, intuition is far more than a hunch. It is viewed as guidance or as God talking, and this inner insight is never taken lightly or ignored.

You know from your own experience that when you ignore your intuitive proddings, you end up regretting it or having to "learn the hard way".

To the non-spiritual person, intuition is completely unpredictable and occurs in random happenstance. It is often ignored or shunned in favor of behaving in habitual ways. The spiritual being strives to increase consciousness concerning his intuition. He pays attention to invisible messages and knows deep within that there is something working that is much more than a coincidence.

Spiritual beings have an awareness of the nonphysical world and are not stuck exclusively in a universe restricted to the functioning of their five senses. Hence all thoughts, invisible though they may be, are something to pay attention to. But intuition is much more than a thought about something, it is almost as if one is receiving a gentle prod to behave in a certain way or to avoid something that might be dangerous or unhealthy. Although inexplicable, our intuition is truly a factor of our lives.

For the non-spiritual person, this seems to be merely a hunch and nothing to study or become more attuned to. The non-spiritual person thinks, "It will pass. It is just my mind at work in its disorderly way " For the spiritual person, these inner intuitive expressions are almost like having a dialogue with God.

From Yoda:

If good, it feels, then do it you must. Yeesssssss.

Vibrations

It's not your work to make anything happen. It's your work to dream it and let it happen. The law of attraction will make it happen. In your joy, you create something, and then you maintain your vibrational harmony with it, and the universe must find a way to bring it about. That's the promise of the law of attraction.

Picky

You're picky about the car you drive. You're picky about what you wear. You're picky about what you put in your mouth. Be pickier about what you think.

You

People will love you, people will hate you, and none of it will have anything to do with you.
