coming home to our true self. Have you read A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle? That book spoke to the core of me ? it lifted me up and inspired me to pay attention to insights and intuition. In fact, there was one section that I found so profound and touched me so deeply, I wrote it on a card that I have on my desk: Be absolutely present and sense Alert Awareness in the background. Every time I see that card I rest my thoughts and listen. (The trick is to distinguish whether it?s the divine or ego responding.) We are all born with intuitive capability but as we identify with the mind, which breeds feelings of separation and individuality, we gradually override our intuitive sense. Observing our thoughts objectively, in a detached manner, helps us regain that gift. It just takes lots of practice and Grace.
