Intuition vs Rationality

When we listen to our intuition we are coming from our heart that is connected to the web of life. Our rationality comes from our minds and egos, from what we know. We are the only animal on earth that has the ability to see things 'rationally,' that has a conscience. All other animals act on instinct alone.

However, over the centuries we have developed our rationality in detriment to our instinct, and we have reached a situation where we are now dominated by rationality, to the expense of our intuition. I believe that this disconnect is one of the major contributing factors to our depression and anxiety epidemic.

When we don't listen and follow the wisdom of our our intuition, we experience the short term pleasure of the rational mind, our ego, but receive the long term pain of our hearts. When we follow our intuition, it is the law of nature that we may well suffer the short term pain of the ego, but in return we receive the long term pleasure and joy of the heart.

We must listen to our intuition in order to find the inner peace and happiness we seek. When we act on our instinct we are always rewarded in the long term. Letting rationality stop you is no longer an option, as it is gets harder and more painful to ignore our inner voice.
