These distinctions are leading me to answers my ego doesn't want to be true, but my heart already knows to be true. How unfortunate for me... Cumbersome.
Yes, that's one of my fave quotes! Actually, I included it in my book but (if I remember correctly) I couldn't find a reliable reference so it may be apocryphal, but it certainly sums up his message succinctly.
the decluttering idea is brilliant! i have always been a person who jumps in with both feet, on instinct. However when faced with a really difficult decision when i was 25, i took 2 weeks away from everyone to analyse. wrote the lists, did the pros and cons. then that inner voice said, don't be daft, you know what you need. and i followed that instinct despite the large social consequences. it led to my dark night of the soul, which i would probably have done my best to avoid in my other life. i am the authentic me now because of that. I have found that living more in the moment, asking 'what do i feel right now?' is one way to remain in touch with who i am. thank you as always for fascination in stories and life.
This is such a great anecdote and example! I think that, when I’ve jumped into things impulsively, they’ve mainly worked out for the best. But it took me so, so long to trust it!
thanks gale... it's really the stone that is still hurting my feet in my 50's. I know I lost a lot of time recognizing my guts feelings by being with a narcissist. but it still hurts, and I feel like I lost so much time and so much opportunities just because of that. but little by little I am conquering myself again. thank you!
I have been going through it lately with the man I'm living with. Every time I confront him about his behavior, he turns it around on me, I had so much anxiety stuffing all of that down and taking responsibility for all of our conflicts. But when I realized how he was manipulating me there was a release in my chest and it just felt cooly and calmly right. Moral of my story: I wish I would have questioned this relationship I made when I was young and stuck in the fog of trauma.
Does the gut feeling show up for every decision?? Sometimes I feel like my gut is "quiet" and doesn't have an opinion either way. Feels a little unmooring.
Oh, that’s _such_ a good question. I’ve honestly never considered it, but I’d say no it doesn’t always show up. I can only understand gut instinct as a message from the unconscious mind (there may be more to it - as in a bigger, higher spiritual element - but if so, I’m not at the stage of grasping this yet). So, assuming it’s the unconscious speaking from the breadth of our personal experience and inherited wisdom, it’s surely safe to assume it won’t always have the answers (or an answer). That said, we can (and do) numb our intuition very effectively, so it would be hard to say in any particular situation whether the gut is quiet because it doesn’t know or if we’re simply unable to hear it.
Hi! I speak fast because I’m a fast talker and can’t stand it when people talk slowly. You can change the speed of playback if you want to slow it down, though!

Cumbersome.
Argh. I’m sorry, I know that feeling 🖤
Marvelous video!
As C. G. Jung said: "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."
Yes, that's one of my fave quotes!

My conditioned emotions have obscured my gut instincts my whole life. This is so helpful and hopeful.

Brilliant! Thank you for the kind and thoughtful insight. It gonged my longing for innerstanding

Why does she speak so fast and rushing? 😢

Symbolism is about symbols meaning specific things to specific people. Symbology is about using symbols to aid in understanding for yourself. 🙏🏻🤍👏🏼
