What does it mean to awaken? For the most part it’s being awake to the enormity of everything that you are. It is then being awake to everything that life has to offer you and being awake to the governing forces that rule you as a decision-making. Finally it is being awake to the world itself and to universal source energy and consciousness.
Do not put too big a point on it, to live intuitively is to live in freedom. When we know how to trust our intuition, we have much more control over the ego, over our own fear, and to live in abundance in a magical world of possibility.
This is a magical world of possibility. It is that idea of magic, something beyond the hum drum of ‘normal’ living that gets most people excited about the idea of developing intuition. However this is no paranormal or out of the ordinary ability. Intuition is absolutely your birthright. In a sense we’re not bringing you on the path to open you into something new. There is no path, you have everything you need right here and right NOW! We are reawakening, redefining and reintroducing you back to your power.
In truth we very much hope that what you gain from this course will give you the opportunity to feel safe to open your heart and share with others. Giving power too, rather than have a power over people. You can’t empower others unless you are firstly feeling a force emerging from inside of you. That force is love. Many people struggle with keeping the heart open to love. There is a very good reason for this as the chances are in your lifetime you have been hurt, shut down, shut up and shut off. I can say this whole heartily as I see it every day in my clients, people I meet and in the mirror! Yet if I asked you when did first suspect you might get hurt, the likelihood is that you knew in the very beginning when you met the perpetrator or situation of life’s disappointment and yet allowed your mind to govern your decision-making. The empowerment that comes with intuition is that the unspoken inner knowing becomes stronger than the ego. When you don’t work from the ego and can’t be controlled by other people and you can’t be paralysed by fear. Of course the downside of this empowerment, is that no longer have someone else to blame. You become solely responsible for your life path.
In the first part of this course entitled ‘Intuitive awakening’ we are looking at what is out there in the world of intuition. It has become very confused paint plait of many colours. Not all of the colours will suit your personal style. By identifying the colours in this part of the course allows us to see where other student’s information and your own may have originated from. Our intention in this course is not to tell you what to think, but to allow you to open up to an enquiry of inner knowing and exploration it gives you the opportunity to see what is right and you.
Even within this community this is a personal journey. By sharing your personal journey with your fellow students at an authentic open level, you are allowing them to learn from you. Of course in return your fellow students also become your teachers. There is a wonderful aboriginals saying which says: ‘You cannot teach the student what they are not ready to learn’. This course is designed so that people will take different aspects of information on board at different times. By seeing what resonates to other people you start to understand something about yourself. The course is also designed for the multiple ways of learning. Some people absorb written information best, for some it’s what they see, hear or feel. What we do know is that everyone learns from experience, so as far as possible this is a course to reflect upon your experience. What is great, is that you have already been living it. This course has been in place your whole life waiting for this moment for all the information you have experienced to merge and find a deeper meaning. You are already ahead of the game. Any self development and life experience can find a place to be expressed and embodied here. The journaling aspect of this course gives you the opportunity to reflect upon all of your experience. The deeper and more open you allow yourself to go the more you benefit. Emotional writing is spiritual writing. This doesn’t mean you have to pour your heart out onto a page for all to read. It is about finding you authentic voice. To ponder: ‘What is it I am trying to say here, how can I be more deeply present with it.’ You don’t have to feel you have any writing capacity, being human is all that is required. It is impossible to get this course wrong. This course is not designed with any kind of judgement capacity built within it, such as tests, or ridged beliefs that say ‘If you don’t get this, your wrong, stupid, un-evolved, or a Muppet!’ This course is only interested in interfacing with: love, intuition, collective consciousness, seeking inner wisdom, enlightenment and freedom.
What is intuition?
Intuition is a level of knowing that has no words. It comes from a deep part of the self. There are in fact multiple ways of knowing. Intuition is a way of being able to really listen to all of the levels of knowing that exists.
You can know something in your body (somatic). You may feel a desire to move away from a person when you meet them the first time, almost as if it is impossible to keep your feet on the spot. You might go to take a mouthful of food and suddenly feel that you cannot point the fork towards your face. You might have an inner sense of feeling of dread, or excitement with no justifiable reason. You may find yourself bursting into tears only to find out later that someone you care deeply for was crying at the same time as you. The body is an amazing receiver of information. In each part of this course we have dedicated a section to the body. For too long the body has been seen as the vehicle for the mind and spirit. In truth you are your body and you coexist as body mind and spirit. The attitude that the body as something separate is also the way that we have viewed Earth, the planet we live on. We have seen ourselves living on and not as part of the Earth, defying nature, as if we are unnatural beings. The body has been seen in the same way. Intuitive awakening is about awakening back to all that you are including the physical self.
Intuitive awakening is also an awakening of the mind. We have so many parts of the brain that we don’t use. Intuitive awakening is about starting to pay close attention to an alternative form of listening. This is the right hemisphere listening, it is listening without words. It is allowing the brain to be the receiver of information. The left hemisphere of the brain figures out information about the world. It seeks out answers through our life experience. The right hemisphere of the brain is the creative manifester. Our imagination is not some childish fancy that has no meaning. Everything that you see in your life that is man-made started in somebody’s imagination. The imagination is how we manifest things. I have often been asked what is the difference between imagination and intuition? Imagination is the cinema screen that clairvoyance is played upon. The imagination is the creative self it is a strong aspect of God. If God is a created being that manifested the entire universe, then God must have an amazing imagination! In this course will be opening many aspects of the mind possibly not used or defined in the same way before.
Intuition is also about being able to read the energy not only of a person, but the building, animals, plants, trees, in fact anything and everything that have an energy in-print. Which is pretty much everything. It is being able to plug yourself intuitively into consciousness and source energy itself.
Most intuitive development will teach you about how to read another person’s ego. However there are two forms of intuition, Ego based and love based. Ego-based intuition will always have a form of judgement in attachment to it. Love based intuition is purely about unity and the coming together of consciousness.
Many of the ideas in the course are knitted together from many places. It is hard to have an original thought. Rather than take these ideas and re-work them as our own. We are share with you, the original teachers who inspired us throughout the course. We have conducted interviews were possible and linked to youtube, ted.com and other sources to bring you many voices. Some of these people and their teaching you may wish to study further. We have given you more information on each teacher so you may follow their work. You will also find that we will run and let you know about in person meet-ups and workshops that will also be an aspect of the ‘hands on’ learning of this course. Although the wool comes from many places, the choice of pattern, colour and putting together of the content of the sweater is that of the knitter of ideas Becky Walsh. The result of her years of research has lead her to a profound understanding of the power of intuition and how it is a most vital tool in the fight to balance personal ego leading to the shift human consciousness.
Part three of the course invites you to take a look at community building and the global crisis in a whole different way. We find another way to move towards enlightenment without sitting in meditation for hours on end. This is not a passive evolution this is an active revolution for peace.
