Knowing what to do
is a matter of listening within
and reading correctly the signals/impulses
emerging from our body.
Following our body's directions
is the simple key
to allowing our heart
and intuition to guide us
along the way.
We have to create a space
for our body to have our full attention
by entering the emptiness/stillness/silence
and waiting for the mud to settle
and the water to clear
and inviting the impulses arising
from our body to direct our action
in each situation as it arises.
It is only a matter of practice
to become an expert in the art
of habitual intuition
leading us to the path calling our name.

Having all the answers is boring.
Live the questions!
Dance with the doubts!
Invite all inquiry!
Look into all of the sure things!
Adopt "An answer is but a step
to a better question!"
Sing merrily all the way!
Be ALIVE in the time left for living!
03
Acceptance is another form of denial.
Build a symbolic wailing wall
out of four landscape stones
as a reminder that the agony never ends
and Real People don't care
what their chances are.
They remember and live on!
ANYWAY!!!
NEVERTHELESS!!!
EVEN SO!!!
04
Habitual,
perpetual,
on-going,
un-ending,
intuition
is our ticket
out of here
and into a better,
increasingly alive,
authentic
and welcoming
place to be!
05
Habitual,
perpetual,
on-going,
un-ending,
intuition
is the solution
to all of our problems
any day!
06
The Buddhists have a saying:
"Live like a man with his hair on fire
seeks a puddle of water!"
Intensity and intention merge
to fill our days with the search
for meaning and purpose
in answering the questions:
"Who am I?
What am I about?
What is my Original Nature?
What are my innate virtuosities--
the things I do best
and love/enjoy doing most?"
07
We develop/strengthen our intuition
by being conscious of it,
paying attention to it,
honoring it,
respecting it,
mindfully consulting it
throughout each day.
We treat it with the importance
it deserves.
Our intuition is a direct link
to our Right Brain--
as much as our dreams are--
and expresses itself
through the "felt sense"
in different regions of our body
("I felt it in my bones,"
"I had a gut feeling,"
"It made my skin crawl,"
"My stomach turned,"
"My mouth was dry...").
Practice being aware of your intuition
and the ways your body alerts you
to its guidance.
That will be among the best things
you can do for yourself.

I specially enjoyed 02 today š “Dancing with the doubts!” is definitely a great way to live. I remember reading somewhere that every question holds its answer deep in its soul…it arises from its answer. So if only we could sit patiently with a question, simply being with a genuine doubt, we will be lead to its resolution within our own being.
I am as always, very grateful for your daily reminders of truth š These are valuable prompts for regular reflection and digging out our own insights!

Thanks, Ramble. I write this stuff into being, not by saying what I know, but by knowing what I say by saying it. It is recognized in the writing it, in the articulation of it, in a, “Oh, yeah, that’s it” kind of way. The contradictions clarify themselves, and often resolve themselves, by being expressed, not by being explained. We live with contraries, we don’t disappear them. “If I contradict myself, very well then, I contradict myself,” said Walt Whitman in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (Along with, “Without contraries is no progression”). The question as its own answer opens the way to realization upon realization. All knowing may be already “there” within, just waiting for us to get to the place of being able to receive it, welcome it, comprehend it.

Yes, very true. Also, anything alive is likely to grow, change, realize, mature etc. and contradict itself in the process…only dead things are fixed enough to be free from all contradiction.
