Meditation brings answers

I've heartless on my cards meditation brings answers and my admiri tail it does bring answers
Not always straight away but since I'm straight away let's give me answers for the future and beyond I just know sometimes I'm a bit impatient on certain things
But meditation brings answers

Hello dream jo. Yes, I agree with you. Meditation does bring answers maybe not the same day but it happens for me in unexpected ways mostly when I'm doing something totally unrelated to the question I have in mind. Funny how things come into our awareness!

It is said that the purified mind is a source of intuition. Sages and saints use their intuition to make decisions.

It is also important to discern between the subtle inner voice of intuition and the noise of the conditioned egoic mind which are two different things altogether.

You have just raised an absolutely awesome point in your post.

How does one best discern whether the inspiration arises from pure intuition or whether it is actually "the noise of the conditioned egoic mind"?


I have raised that specific question in several forums and am curious to hear how others would respond to the question that you have just raised. It's a very very important question !

Sorry for the late reply as I just found this now.

There are many factors to it, and I will state some here so as to prevent any overload, and to move at a comfortable pace.

Beginning with my immediate family, two of my cousins have displayed extraordinary acts of intuition doing seemingly irrational stuff which eventually proved to be right choices which saved their lives or that of their loved ones.

Analysing both, the common factor of these two cousins of mine were that they both had a devotional temperament to God.

One of them was a staunch vegetarian from childhood in a family which relishes nonvegetarian dishes, had training and proficiency in ancient Indian classical music which has a lot of focus on mantras and sanskrit. Indian classical music is designed to raise the state of consciousness of the practicioner , and for this reason a good musician is considered to be similar to a saint in India.

The other cousin, while having a devotional temperament, has also a very loving, sociable and charitable behavior attested by many and with a good sense of humor with high energy levels. He is also very fond of herbal medicines and regularly consumes green tea, which I personally dislike for its highly bitter taste.

I had witnessed extraordinary acts of intuition within both and hence described their personal characteristics .

Both have high prana or chi levels which are usually associated with higher states of consciousness and intuition.

This caught my eye. How would you say you differentiate between the two?

I’m a predominate intuitive so I use mine to make decisions.

I’m curious how someone who is caught up in this, would untangle themselves for intuitive insights?

The subtle fleeting intuition is from our divine multi-dimensional mind. Subtle and fleeting nudges so as to not intrusively interfere with our free will.

The strong persistent feeling is from our ego 3d mind. Strong and persistent because the ego mind proudly thinks it knows all and what is best.

Hmmm I’m trying to feel this, but I’m not sure it entirely fits how my intuition can be.

Can’t intuition be strong loud clear and persistent?

When we become more connected our intuition also becomes more heightened, and so the subtle nudges we call intuition need not be strong, loud, and persistent. No need to be loudly yelled to when our hearing has gotten much better.

As we become more multi-dimensional, as oppose to being 3d, we only need to know things when we need to know which will bring us greater peace, calm, and joy.

No need to carry the whole set of encyclopedia around when we just need one particular page of information from it.

Our mind will be so much more peaceful without having to think so much, and instead be guided by our benevolent higher vibrating self that sees the much bigger picture to make better choices for us than our 3d mind could.

It is the bigger part of us not in the human form benevolently helping a very small part of us here in the human form. Same goes for what some call angels or spiritual guides. They are all just us.

Because multi-dimensional quantum energy could "split" into many multiplicities while remaining all connected and entangled as some scientists are at the early stage of uncovering.

I just saw your post after raising the exact same question. I'll share my breakthrough moment related to this later in this thread. I'm curious to hear what others have to say first.

I too rely heavily on pure intuition to make decisions.
