[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 715152, member: 13542"] I once heard a talk by a security expert who spoke about how human beings are the only species that doubts intuitive insights. He spoke of a woman who couldn't shake the fact that every time she walked into her apartment she had a feeling of fear.....it went on and on and finally she trusted it and put up cameras inside her home, only to find out her male neighbor was somehow gaining entry to her apartment while she was at work.... and doing unsavory things. The expert spoke about how animals "sense" something wrong and trust it. They are alert to that sense. It saves their lives. He teaches folks, especially women, to trust that inner voice. For instance, if you have a strong feeling to avoid a certain street at night, certainly trust it. He spoke about how fear can be a good thing. He interviewed victims of rape who often said they had a strong sense of fear [I]before [/I]the rape, often about the rapist, but didn't trust it. Often women will negate their own intuitive sense to their detriment. I believe it is a natural sense we all have, but we ignore it. Police utilize their strong internal voices in their detecting, but they don't label it intuition. Anything out of the 'typical' or 'normal' is often criticized. Intuition is not a trait that is usually fostered or supported, people are made wrong for feeling their own intuition. In my belief system intuition is a natural and necessary value we all have but unfortunately because it is not accepted, it is often negated. I've had numerous intuitive feelings that have been very helpful. I once had a job offer in another state which was exactly what I was looking for. It met all my desires and much more. I was given 2 weeks to decide. Something inside me was loudly proclaiming it as a mistake as my external self was fighting to go for it. The internal voice was so loud and insistent I finally gave in and did not accept the job. 6 months later the company went bankrupt. Those folks who gave up their homes, their other jobs, their former lives were now in an unfortunate place. That was many years ago and it taught me to always trust that inner voice. I taught both my daughter and granddaughter to trust that inner voice. [/QUOTE]
