Intuition



Let’s just call it “Women’s Intuition” and I’m sure many women will report how they’ve had gut feelings that something was going to happen and it did.



Men just don’t “get it”. After reading the 2008 reposted "psychics" thread, I can see that with the exception of one or two male figures, the rest do not get it........as they no doubt have never experienced it themselves.



Their moms may have, when they were "in harms way" overseas, woken up by a dream .........that is "woman's intuition".....



Or you dream of a relative vividly........and get a call the next morning that they've suddenly passed away. It happens.



Or you meet someone, and those "danger vibes" go up.......

Again, intuition. Call it what you may......as some folks are afraid to admit they may be clairvoyant or have extra sensory perception........but it does happen.

I use my gut instinct a great deal. Believe it has a lot to do with what kind of life experiences you have had. I then try to think things out though based on whatever evidence I have gathered with my senses, through the Internet, as well as talking to other people.

It also seems to play a huge part in military history. http://military.discovery.com/videos...in-battle.html

I believe gut instinct is something we are all given as a tool to work with.
An instant, early warning system, if you will.
Many of us have been programmed to discount or ignore it. But with a little understanding of how it works, it will never steer you wrong.

Premonition (intuition, or whatever you want to label it as) is something quite different and valid in my experience.
Wether we always understand or interpret premonitions correctly is another matter.

Thanks. Very interesting. Read below about Gen. George Patton....

SCENE:

Three men in W.W. II uniforms (two Generals) traveling down a North African road in a jeep.

DIALOGUE:

General George S. Patton (George C. Scott): "Hold it! Turn right here."

Driver: "But sir, the battlefield is straight ahead."

Patton: "Please don't argue with me Sergeant. I can smell a battlefield."

General Omar Bradley (Karl Malden): " He was out here just yesterday George."

Patton: (points with his riding crop) "It's over there, turn right, damn it!"

SCENE:

The jeep goes off road, passing some turbaned North Africans on donkeys and then comes upon some Romanesque ruins. Patton gets out, followed by Bradley. A haunting echo of horns plays in the background as if replaying some ancient charge of a long forgotten battle.

DIALOGUE:

Patton: "It was here. The battlefield was here. The Carthaginians defending the city were attacked by three Roman Legions. Carthaginians were proud and brave but they couldn't hold. They were massacred. Arab women stripped them of their tunics and their swords and lances. The soldiers lay naked in the sun, two thousand years ago; and I was here."

SCENE:

Patton, on bended knee, pauses, smiles knowingly, turns to a sometimes bemused Bradley and says:

DIALOGUE:

Patton: "You don't believe me, do you Brad? You know what the poet said,

'Through the travail of ages,
midst the pomp and toils of war,
have I fought and strove and perished,
countless times among the stars.
As if through a glass and darkly,
the age old strife I see,
when I fought in many guises and many names,
but always me.'" *

Patton: "Do you know who the poet was?"

Bradley [Smiles slightly and shakes his head, no.]

Patton: "Me."



A particularly evocative scene from the movie Patton, is it not? You get the sense that he actually remembers the terrible scene of his fallen comrades. But what of his modern day army, those men he led in World War II. Tens of thousands of them willingly trusted his judgement in battle. Would they also follow him in matters of the Spirit. Would those who believe he was brilliant in battle also believe that that insightfulness can be brought to bear in other areas of life. George Patton believed in reincarnation. He remembered fighting the Romans as a Carthaginian. Patton also believed he was with Napoleon (I believe he was the flamboyant and daring Marshal Ney* but that theory is best left for another day).

I must be in the small % of men that get it. Not only do I get it I have it. An example would be when my wife and I met and started to get to know each other I was 15 she was 13 I told her a few months into getting to know each other that if she wanted to have any daughters or grand daughters not to ever marry me as all we and our kids would have would be boys. Well fast forward to today and we have 3 boys and 5 grandsons with another grandson on the way. Of course there is still time for me to be wrong on the grandbaby side of the issue but I don't think so. My wife can tell you many many more stories of intuition I've had since she's known me that turned out to be dead on. Sure I've missed a few thing but not many

I BELIEVE YOU. MORE POWER TO YOU.......according to another guy on another thread, you must be a warlock as he thinks women with the gift are witches. You are the lucky one.

Read this interesting article about Lincoln and his premonitions.
It's below Kennedy's article......

JFK's Premonition Actually Lincoln's

Nation IN BRIEF / WASHINGTON, D.C.


FROM THE LOS ANGELES TIMES.............

A note written by John F. Kennedy in 1961 and made public July 22 appeared to suggest that the president had a premonition of his own death. However, the note paraphrased a thought that has been attributed to Abraham Lincoln and that had sometimes been quoted by Kennedy in his 1960 presidential campaign. In the note, Kennedy wrote, "I know that there is a God and I see a storm coming. If he has a place for me, I am ready." Kennedy's secretary, Evelyn Lincoln, said in her diary that she found the note and kept it while cleaning up papers on Air Force One.

Interesting article on Lincoln. An example of an intuition I missed. I told my wife when we were dating that I would die at 48 years old in a car accident that involved a head on and fire. Well for our sakes I was wrong but my best friend growing up was killed in a head on wreck that involved fire 2 days after my 48th birthday, Sad for his family but my wife found relief after the intial shock and grief because she said I guess it wasn't you that you saw but it must of been Willy. I had forgotten all about what I had told her until she reminded me after his death.

I'd say that's pretty darn close enough to be a premonition.
Does he resemble you???? Or you just assumed it was you.
You must have nerves of steel.

Your poor wife must be a nervous wreck after you tell her these things (and then you totally forget what you said).

When I was 39, I felt a "presence" in the bedroom in the early morning.
It wasn't scary at all.......just a brief filmy passing at the foot of the bed and exiting the door .........brief and quick. It was New Year's Eve....or a few hours thereafter.........no drinking involved.....we just sat up late by the fireplace with our children....and had eggnog. Quiet in Vermont.

The next morning about 10 a.m. I got a call from New Jersey. He identified himself as my best childhood friend's husband and said he had some sad news for me. Pat had been not only my longtime friend but also our Maid of Honor at our wedding when we were 20. At 19 she had been diagnosed with Systemic Lupus and put on prednisone, with many many hospitilizations...........we relocated to Vermont at age 25; although we wrote letters back and forth and telephoned, her biggest wish was to come up and visit me and our children..........as she never could have any due to the Lupus (which in those days they discouraged pregnancies).

As luck would have it, every single time Pat planned a trip up to Vermont, she fell ill.......she had the type that spreads to your heart, kidneys, lungs, etc........systemic. I knew how much she wanted to come and I do believe that in her dying moments or shortly thereafter, she made the trip, finally.

I always remember her as beautiful and young , blonde, at 39.

Tom said that she had been in distress on New Year's Eve........he took her to the emergency room of their local hospital where she died, actually sitting up on the examining table..........they later told him and he told me on New Years Day during the phone call.......she died of an enlarged heart due to the Lupus..........

I knew it was her "ethereally" visiting.....it wasn't scary at all.

I've had the same type thing happen with my father, step father, grandmother, another close friend who died tragically........they all came to say goodbye..........plus I could write a book on people I've known were going to die before they did.

My mom also visited "a lot" in a very peaceful way after she passed.
None of these were frightening experiences.

It just happens. I don't think about them before hand. Hard to explain.

Sometimes I will say to my husband........" I wonder how Mr. or Mrs. so and so, our neighbor is? We haven't seen them in awhile"........within a day or so I read their obit." Friends tell me NOT to dream about them !!
I can't help it.

My mom always said that it isn't the dead that can hurt you but the living.

Call it what you will, woman's intuition or psychic abilities I think generally women have it more than men. We have more of a spatial awareness of what is going on around us, it's a form of protection.

We're more apt to receive messages and visits because we're more in tune to it.

Historically, our education system is designed for left brain logic thinking and those that go through easily and well were usually left dominant people, who went on to professions and jobs that were logic oriented and organized etc.

The intuitive right hemisphere has only been recognized in the recent past (mid '90's) and the "open" classrooms were designed in response to the shift. Unfortunately, "they" discovered that "open" wasn't for everyone and the shift went back to more traditional styles with some attention to multisensory input. This still does not encourage "intuitive" messages and so those who express their intuitive ideas as kids are generally discredited by logic and learn to bury their intuitive feelings.

If you have any grand kids that show any signs of intuitive "feeling" based skills, please don't discourage them from expressing themselves. The world needs more input from those sources and less from lock/step thinking. That is what thinking outside the box is about and in this age of cyber space it is now being utilized in the work place and in many young developing coumpanies.

Hopefully in time it will be recognized that whole-brain thinking is the best way to go in education. But that's a whole other discussion!

A friend of mine asked me if I had ever been with anyone when they passed away. I said yes, I was with my stepfather, my stepmother, my father, my aunt and my father in law...she paused a few minutes then asked "Trish, if I'm ever in the hospital...please don't visit me".

Hurry home Trish. I adore your sense of fun.

A very knowledgeable person.......for sure. I'm happy to realize that there are some free thinkers in TV. By any chance, are you aware of the "Indigo Children" born in the past decade or so??? Thanks for posting.

Our latest (of our 4 grandaughters and 1 grandson) was born with a caul / veil over her eyes and forehead. Not sure if you read that posting last week. She was born in the sign of Scorpio with natal FULL MOON in Taurus...right as the super storm was happening on the East coast.
Luckily, she was born in Colorado. The caul was preserved by the midwives.

My own adult daughter has always said that I could read her mind and finish her sentences as I always seemed to know ahead of time what she was going to say......it's uncanny to say the least.

I think it must run on the Italian side of my females.........not to say the Ukrainians didn't also have their own gifts. In doing my Italian genealogy I discovered that although these Roman Catholics went to mass faithfully, every day in some instances, they had their own "private shall we say" beliefs passed on by the ancestors....down the line.

My Ukrainian mom, even though born in 1911, was very open minded and read up on all the great religions and wisdom of the world. She allowed us to become free thinkers as well..........whereas my husband's Polish mom stuck strictly with her R.C. religion and even though any religion, in and of itself, involves some form of superstition, she had a more narrow thought process which didn't allow for any intuitive thought.

[missypie]

When raising my girls, I told them that women's intuition was a gift that God gave them to help keep them out of harms way. I think it helped them to err on the side of safety at times.
