Thank You, God

God, Thank You

Friends,

Greetings.

Welcome to my essay.

God has blessed me with the habit of reading.

Now I am inspired to read a remarkable book called “21 Days to Jump Start Your Intuition” by Sonia Choquette.

The following are my key learning after reading this book:

1. Intuition is the core of who we are. Yes, intuition is the all-pervading, eternal, all-powerful consciousness that manifests itself as each living being.

2. Our intuition is all-knowing. It is the integral nature of our intuition. Therefore, the guidance for our intuition is always correct. It is our unerring inner wisdom.

3. Each of us, due to the “Survival of the Fittest” paradigm based-evolution, has inherited genes of this survival mode of living.

4. It is this survival brain, variously known as our ego, our lower self, and our animal mind, that puts up a veil of ignorance and disconnects us from our true self, which is intuition.

5. Due to this constant operation of our survival brain, our default mode of living is fight or flight mode. As a result, almost all of us live a life delinked from our unerring guide.

6. It is in this context that this book is so helpful. It tells us that quietening the animal mind, through whichever means best suited to our temperament, helps us to reconnect to our ever-present guide.

7. For some, this quietening of the chattering mind takes the form of silent meditation in solitude. For others, it may take the form of long walks. For some others, it may take the form of a hearty laughter with their friends and family. And for still others, it takes the form of intense concentration in their chosen vocation. Principle remains the same.

So, these are some of my key learning.

They are the output of my own self-realization after reading the book.

Thanks for reading my essay.

Best wishes,
