Intuition -- A Deeper Gift

By Colette Baron-Reid

.................

In all the years I have made my living as an intuitive I’ve never become jaded nor too much of an “expert” to stop learning about and exploring the gifts of the sixth sense. I am still as deeply moved by the implications of our natural inner access to the Great Unseen, as I was the first time I recognized its impact.

I have come to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that all sentient life is blessed with 6 senses not just five and that extraordinary access to a vastly greater universe is ours innately.

For a multitude of reasons we’ve allowed the sixth sense to diminish in importance. Hence intuition is a lost, undeveloped and untapped resource within each of us. I believe we need to recover our intuitive abilities in order to discover the deeper gifts life has to offer us — gifts of the spirit – the sense of connection to all of life and all that implies.

Recently I watched a TV show where a psychic /intuitive gave an accurate reading about a woman’s dead grandmother, Mary, who seemingly relayed uncanny detailed information about the woman’s home renovations and paint color and professional changes. A skeptic on the show then challenged her claiming that there was nothing relevant or profound at all about what they had seen demonstrated. What use was the sixth sense if the reader couldn’t see something more relevant like where the next bomb would drop or how the war on terror would be ended? Perhaps she was just reading the woman’s mind?

What kind of a meaningful message was about paint color and a job change? True, perhaps knowing something mundane about a stranger like the fact that they were renovating their house and their dead grandmother named Mary was sending a message that she liked their choice of paint color doesn’t seem so profound. Superficially I would agree that there was nothing particularly meaningful about this in relationship to world events. Yet the very fact that someone could open their sixth sense of intuition and see clearly into the life of another, however, brief or mundane brings to mind an important fact. We are not completely separated beings as our egos and five sensory experience of reality would have us believe. Our sixth sense grants us access into the place where we’re all connected. This is the place of the soul. This is the place where all of life is created equal. This is the place where division is an illusion. This is the place where we are undeniably a part of each other.

Exploring our intuition brings us to an awareness of an inclusive spiritual potential as we find this to be our natural state. It means that the connection itself must be honored by our responsible and moral treatment of one another and all of life. The implications are indeed vast and deeply relevant to our current global state of affairs. No wonder this causes fear in those who want to see the sixth sense denied and degraded to a hunch or a parlor trick and a crystal ball. It means we need to change. We need to understand that inclusion not exclusion is the way of hope and healing.
So, as I believe this to be a crucial piece missing in humanity, so I believe recovering our intuition is an essential task for our very survival. So to the skeptic I say in that small interaction of possible “mind reading” if you look past the superficial you’ll find the deepest relevance of all. Is it not profound to find that through the sixth sense we find an unlimited connection to all of life? We are given proof that indeed we are all at some deep level of our individual spirits one with each other. Personally I think that’s pretty important to ponder; even if it’s through a paint color pointed out by your dead grandma.
