“Intuition is access to compassion and wisdom that is beyond what we are able to give one another. It is communication with nonphysical guides and Teachers, whose only interest is your spiritual growth. The first part of accessing intuition is to ask a question. The second part is to listen for the answer. The answer will always come, although perhaps not in the way or at the time that you expect.
Your answer might come while you are in the shower, out of a walk, or driving to work. It may not be what you want to hear. Answers that come from your intuition will often surprise you. Your intellect will always rationalize what you want to do.
Intuitive insights are not directives, instructions, or commandments. Your nonphysical Teachers will not tell you what to do. They will lead you to the full scope and depth of your creative capacity, help you see options that you have not thought about, and consider the consequences that each will create.
Only you can decide how you will use your will to shape energy into matter, and what karma you will create. Responsibility for your choices is always yours alone, no matter whom you consult in the process of making them, including nonphysical Teachers.”
