Mary woke with a start. There was absolutely no sound but she bolted out of bed "knowing" to check her small child. Reaching out to touch the child who lay silently, she realized he was burning up----105 degrees the thermometer registered. Quickly she swung into action to help her child who had gone to bed well and healthy, but was now acutely ill.
Joyce was working on a hospital floor to which she was posted. She didn't know the patients but suddenly she had an overwhelming urge to put down everything and go to room 11, bed 3. Following her urge she found a patient having a heart attack, too ill to pull the call bell. She placed an immediate emergency code and the help that flocked to his bedside saved Mr. S.'s life.
Charlie was at sea on a submarine when the Red Cross telegram came telling him his Grandfather was seriously ill and not expected to live. Wanting to be alone, he went to the boiler room and paced up and down, thinking about how much he loved his Grandfather. Suddenly, there was a tap on his shoulder and he felt peace flood his feelings. Charlie looked around. No one was there, and he noted the time on his watch. When the telegram came, confirming his Grandfather's death, it listed the very time he had noted in the boiler room.
What do all three of these people have in common? They are actively paying attention to their intuitions. Consequently, they have the ability to change how they see the event, access something from their sensory awareness, and act on situations in a way that can change the future for themselves and others.
Intuition is so important it is hard to understand why it has received such a bad rap. Ancient man knew how staying alive in difficult situations depended on listening to his inner voice. After all, if you knew there could be a tiger around the bend, and your inner prompting said, "Don't go that way," it was easy to understand why you may have received a warning. Children were patiently coached on listening to the voices and warnings from within, and matured carefully honing their intuitive skills.
As life became more complex, with more evolved communications, man learned to defer his strong feelings and inner warnings for the "expert" advice of others. The result? Atrophied channels from one's intuitive sources, and clearly, an intuition that lay dormant until it shriveled, its purpose grown dusty from non-use.
Wartime stories of soldiers, suddenly aware of dimensions previously untapped, but now still alive because they listened to an urge and followed their inner prompting, exhibit man's capacity to reclaim this dormant talent. Given the seriousness and danger of life, intuition frequently rises to rescue the one suddenly listening, perhaps for the first time.
Once again life seems dangerous with threats of war, terrorism, epidemics that come seemingly out of nowhere, and worries and concerns beyond our ability to quickly grasp. It is again imperative that we cultivate and utilize our intuitions, and mankind is experiencing both a blossoming of interest in the subject, and a realization of people who are developing their natural talents once more.
To see intuition fully alive we need only look around. Children are born intuitively aware, before societal norms and a heavy emphasis on believing only what can be seen with the five senses or what science can prove in test tubes, tamp down the gifts and train children to work only with the left, rational side of their brains. In short, work with only part of their potential, squashing the natural flow of energy. It's as if we are trying to cut down trees with a hammer. It might be possible to bring a tree down with a hammer, if you work at it long enough and hard enough. But why would you want to do so, if you could have a saw, or better yet, a group of saws from which you could pick just the right size for the job?
We may be an either/or society of left brain or right brain usage, but the human potential is to be whole brain with activation in all parts of the brain working together. There are some people who find that wholeness, almost as if by accident, but are not always aware how to tap the energy whenever needed. One does not have to wait for a crisis and "hope" natural abilities reappear magically. Now it is possible to reawaken intuitive awareness and reclaim the lost perceptive channels from childhood, as an ACTIVE CHOICE for enhancing one's life, not relying on chance development.
PERCEPTIVE AWARENESS TECHNIQUE (P.A.T.), a fully copyrighted course developed by Consuella C. Newton, allows one to reclaim the lost pathways of intuition, and further train oneself to utilize the many gifts from an active and aware intuitive self. Learning to understand and utilize the power of your intuition can change your life. Best of all, you can do so in a locale near to you.
Imagine the surprise pupils have when they discover they intuited information on someone they never met, but now hear was "right on" from another who does know the individual. "I was always told I was super-imaginative and hysterical. Well, really I'm intuitive and it's a natural talent. Imagine that!" said one student.
