In the fifth installment of our six part series, we will be discussing How Perception Influences and Shares Our Intuition. Your perception of reality is influenced by your ego characteristics and it could affect your actions, decisions and emotions. If your perception is clouded by negative energy, it becomes difficult to trust and follow your intuition. If, however, you learn to trust and operate from your intuitive sense, you will begin to clearly hear, sense or know. This is because your intuitive sense does not have the emotional filters you normally rely upon. The question then becomes, if you could focus on what is being presented without judgment or reaction, what would be revealed?
As an example, today I received a free lesson in honing my intuition. I joyfully drove up to my favourite coffee shop to get in line for the drive through. Another vehicle and myself approached the lineup at the same time. There were two ways to approach the line up. I moved forward slightly to proceed but the person in the other vehicle got impatient and honked their horn to let me know they were next. I gladly allowed the other vehicle to proceed ahead of me, even though the line wasn’t moving. There was some kind of issue being resolved at the drive through window. The other person waited approximately a minute before pulling into a parking stall and proceeding to enter the coffee shop.
Soon after, the line began to move and I joyfully placed my order. I acknowledged the person who was so impatient and sent good vibes their way. I hoped that they would have a better day. I approached the drive through window ready to pay for my coffee order when the lovely barista informed me that the person in front of me paid for my coffee. Wow, that made me feel so grateful and thankful. It truly made my day!
Thank you to whoever you are for your random act of kindness. This situation showed me that because I chose to stay calm, positive and send love, the outcome was definitely a great gift. Unfortunately, the person who was impatient missed out on that gift. I wonder how many acts of kindness I missed due to my impatience and feelings of being inconvenienced. I am sure there were many, many times. The difference today was that I chose a different way to show up. I showed up with love, kindness and a curiosity of what the universe had to offer.
Any time you have an agenda, cause, purpose or focus, it triggers a need for self protection.
This is because it is reminiscent of a story you have experienced before. You will continue to respond, react or behave in a similar way, until the emotional elements are properly healed. When there is trauma, this is especially true, as it will linger and wait until a particular trigger reappears. In repairing the damage, you can find the courage to face your everyday realities. As you continue to heal, you will begin to understand the matrix you live in.
The assemblage point, as described by Carlos Castaneda in The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowing (1985), further explores this concept through a shamanic lens. Those on a warrior healing path strive to control reality by mastering their awareness. This requires being aware of your intention and holding space for it. Once mastered, your intention will grow with a clearer understanding of your surroundings. If you are not on this path, you can still gain a different perspective and ultimately evolve your intuition. The previous discussion on the three categories of our body structures, core personality and moods of stalking are also prevalent and involved in this awareness.
A trained practitioner, who is familiar with the assemblage, can assist and instill relief from the emotions that shroud and darken your experiences. Emotions such as anxiety, fear, anger, distress and panic will remain if they are not properly healed. This tends to silence your intuitive abilities. In finding the root cause or removing the delusion, you could gain a deeper understanding of your intuitive abilities on a level you have never before experienced. The key components to reaching this level are intent, awareness and alchemizing the energy. This can help the energy transform and allow you to engage or observe objectively in what is occurring. If you can find the truth in this for yourself, a new trust will emerge and you will experience a new freedom.
