: : Hi Hal. l figured l'd write back on here. l have the same problem w/ losing stuff! l'll be looking for it and realise it's right in front of my face. l don't know if iintuition is good or bad (and l don't like those words anyway!) l love my intuitivness. it comes in strange ways such as voices, dreams, or just a plain thought..How do your's come? l also love it because MOST people are sensory people. l found a great quote about it saying that intuitives are "extraterrestrails..strange people in a strange land who wonder about the antics of the earthlings...".
: : Oh. l have almost the same answers as you.. excep tthe 2nd to last one- l LOVE to drink.., and the natural health-l'm a vegetarian (like you really care). l love the discovery channel..and have an unusual sympathy for animals..and l'm an "earth" sign, too. . Do you hate agreeing w/ someone alot even if it's true (like now)? l fear people will think l'm some scared, boring. follower. 3 things l despise...

: The pursose of my questions is to find out how many others share my somewhat INTERESTING quirks (apparently many!). Agreeing doesn't make you anything to anyone, your decisions (to agree or dis), MAKE YOU. If you are concerned that agreeing will make you eminate everything you dispise, how do you think others would perceive someone who, by fear of judgement, won't answer at all? I hope you will continue to contribute your thoughts to my questions. Everyone's thoughts and decisions are valued and unjudged. Cindy

For me, it's not so much a question of being judged, or being afraid of becoming a follower. I do more than my share of judging, so it's only fair that people would judge me. But I DO often hate agreeing with others about personal things like this. It just somehow makes me feel less special when I see others that think or feel the same as I do. And often I find myself saying, "well, they say that, but they don't really FEEL it or UNDERSTAND it as deeply as I do." Anything to try to keep that specialness.

I also love my intuition. I feel like it makes me see more than most people since they just rely on their senses. It's like we can all look at something and put 2 and 2 together about it, but it feels like for sensory types, that's as far as it goes. I like to think that intuitives relate to things and experience them on a deeper level. I hope I'm not fooling myself, but it just seems that I have thoughts that never occur to sensory types.

How does my intuition come? It's not a voice or a dream, and it's only sort of a thought. Maybe it straddles the line between thought and feeling, or maybe it's something beyond thought. I guess I just experience it as a "knowing". If it's about a person, I can sometimes just look at them and know their internal state rather intimately. It's almost as if it's written on their face and in their eyes, and I just read it like a book. If it's intuition about some more abstract thing, it's a kind of understanding without words. Not a step-by-step kind of knowledge, but a huge mass (maybe a web?) with all the parts and interconnections distinct and chrystal clear, but at the same time whole and undivided.

Does this match with anyone else's experience? I wonder if intuition is a personal thing, or if it's really more transpersonal--everyone experiences it the same, but may explain it differently when putting it into our imprecise human language.
