INTUITION, THOUGHT & THE PROBLEM OF LIFE

Intuition seems the opposite of Thought and Thinking.  With intuition, one does not have to think about what to do.  All one need do is to listen to the dictates of intuition and follow instructions, as the case may be.  Intuition is an inner knowing, as opposed to thinking which is often a simple juxtaposing one external ‘reality’ or ‘fact’ against another to see what clues they can yield about some underlying truth we are trying to discover.  Thinking comes from observations made externally.  Intuition comes from an internal source.

According to a modern yogi, one should always follow the dictates of Intuition because that is where the Truth is found.  All advice for life can be found thru it.  All decision-making should be done by consulting intuition as the source of guidance.

It has been said that Thought itself is THE problem.  The Soul’s desire for experience is the forerunner of thought, and thought results in life (beginning on the subtle planes of existence).  Any form of life whatsoever is existence apart and away from the absolute experience of Oneness of God.

For a long time I have endorsed the harsh mind-set that life is a mistake of sorts, an affront to God.  If anything it certainly seems to be an affront to one’s own Soul to seek an existence away from that which provides said existence in the first place.

According to one perspective from the world of yoga, life is meant to be just entertainment or play.  In ancient terms it is called ‘lila’ which means God’s sport or God’s play.  Even so, doesn’t playtime always end at some point and we go back home?

When thought stops, existence stops.  Life stops.  Yoga teaches that it is thought and breath that keep us here.  Anything that excites our interest (desire) on any level keeps us here.

If I didn’t know any better, I would venture forth the simplistic notion that when we are bored (for lack of a better word) with life and existence then we return to God, back to Oneness and leave the suffering madness of incarnation behind.
