Unleash Your Intuition
By unifying intellect with instinct
Instinct Is The Way of Nature
Animals are led by their body. That’s where instinct happens. Over the millions and millions of years animals have roamed Earth, they have inherited the physical form and programming of their ancestors which keeps them alive and guides them.
How does food become blood? How does our heart remember to keep beating and our lungs remember to keep breathing even while we are asleep? These things are done by the animal instinct of the body.
Humans are animals too. We also have instincts that keep us alive and guide us. But we have gone through so much effort to condemn the body — calling it sinful, base. Humanity has been at war with nature, trying to suppress and control it throughout history. Why?
Intellect Is The Way of Man
It is said that humanity fell from grace when we ate from the tree of knowledge. The arrival of knowledge is also the arrival of ego, will to power, and the matrix of society.
Perhaps in the beginning, we were still only following our instincts, with the new tool of knowledge. We learned things like agriculture, navigation, which plants are poisonous, things which help our bodies.
