Do You Follow Intuition In Business?
So here's the thing with intuition and I've spent years thinking about this and I am not a believer in a lot of the new age psychic this that and the other. What I am a believer in is that I do not know everything and that there are things beyond my ability of understanding and one of the things that I've cultivated in recent years, I used to be just mega skeptic. And I decided that I need to cultivate a new characteristic and that's one of suspending judgment. It doesn't mean that I believe all the that people say. Most people believe the. That serves them. So if somebody tells you something like, you're going to be rich and famous, people love believing that.
That's all psychics tell people and then they'll involve an element of danger, where they'll be like, but there's danger along the way. It's all the same story. I can't believe people pay for that stuff, but they do. It's worked for millennia. The fact is that there are certain elements within our biology, within our genetics, that know something that goes beyond our conscious understanding of how things work. That's the place where intuition lives. The problem is that our conscious mind can get in the way. There's a great book written I think, I'm going to say he's Swedish, I'm not sure. He might be Swiss. His name is Rolf De belli and he wrote this book called The Art of Thinking Clearly.
I recommend this to everybody who is interested in the topic of intuition. Why? Because The Art of Thinking Clearly is a book on cognitive biases on the things that we believe to be true, that may not be. and why we think of that. It's about the cognitive fallacies that we have. Why is that important? Because if you can understand why you believe things that may or may not be wrong, but those things may be wrong, you can start to hone your intuition. So flow and synchronicity are woven into the concept of intuition. You can't separate them, why? Because when we enter into what Chikset Mihai who passed recently, who wrote the book Flow. Yeah. You have you read that.
Yes, great book. Yeah, and a lot of the research that came from his book. The work of Stephen Kotler, The Art of The Impossible, his new book. Another great book that people who've really researched and studied Flow. Something happens when our brains click, something happens when our brains click into that mode of flow into that feeling of being weightless in the world and being able to travel effortlessly through whatever journey we are experiencing that causes this activation in our body, in our mind and I'm going to say in our spirit, even though I know that's a little bit more woo-woo. Perfectly fine with that. Yeah, yeah. It causes an activation that enables us to activate this almost prehistoric genetic sense of knowing. That's what I believe intuition is. So you might get this feeling and you don't know why now scientists could try to explore this and discover it. It could be that through time our peripheral vision has adapted to look more this way.
