The Hero's Journey

02 — The Intuitive Call

An Original Exploration · 2010

Many times you've heard the inner voice say, “Go this way, or that way,” yet you've ignored it and gone your own way (the way of the ego). You feel this inner voice is your voice, but you're not quite sure. You ask yourself: “Who is this? Intuition, guidance from above, higher self, God — who is it?” You've asked this question many times over, and the truth is, you don't know.

It calls to you through “intuition” and keeps coming and coming. It beckons you to “read this, look at that, watch this, take action here, go there,” but you're not fully engaged with it, so you doubt and ignore the advice. And you do this because you're not quite sure where it will lead you and what it will ask of you. You don't fully understand; therefore, naturally, you disbelieve its authenticity.

Nevertheless, this voice may keep returning; you may experience it as a part of you, a VERY BIG part of you, waiting to offer another perspective.

The question now asked is, “Guide me to where?” Perhaps toward a life that feels more like your own. It need not be lived as a struggle, with every outcome feeling like a 50/50 chance of survival or success.

However, if you want to see what might FLOW, you could set aside some of the mind's assumptions and make room for not knowing how life and reality work. When you reach that place, you may begin to notice things you hadn't seen before.
