It’s getting patently obvious that acting on what our rational mind is telling us to do and ignoring our intuition,  our feelings,  just doesn’t work for us  any more. In fact, according to my recent experience,  it’s  working quite forcibly  against us.  Let me elucidate: on four or five occasions at least over the last ten days,  I’ve allowed myself to be swept along with the current just because there has been no apparent  ”reason”  why I shouldn’t go with the flow,  even though my inner feelings and/or intuition, have been screaming “No! No! No!  This isn’t going to work!”  Hopefully,  after experiencing quite a lot of irritation and  frustration when what was planned and intended  didn’t work out,  as well as wasting  time and money - albeit a very small amount - I’ve now  learned my lesson.

In retrospect, I think I ignored my intuition because  I didn’t want to disappoint people or let them  down.  Yet,  when  events  didn’t work out as planned and intended,  it was because of a variety of reasons,  all of which were absolutely beyond my personal control. This all gave me pause for thought  and I realized that,

a) I need to get into the habit of always acting on what  my intuition and feelings are telling me, even if it means I’ll be disappointing other people. 

b) I would quite possibly have saved everyone  time, effort and frustration, not just myself, if I had spoken out and called  a halt to the proceedings, the moment my internal “alarm bells” started ringing.

It’s obvious that  it’s no longer wise or safe to rely on our rational (ego) minds, or intellects  to  provide us with the necessary  information, guidance and wisdom,  on which to base our actions and decisions.   

So, those of us who arestrongly connected to our inner guidance,  need to remember that there are quite a few people walking around “blindly” as it were, because they are still disconnected  from their higher wisdom. You might want to keep this fact in mind when others are urging you to take a particular course of action, or go somewhere,  and your intuition is doing an Amy Winehouse and shouting “No! No! No!”
