Intuitive Knowledge

Knowledge is traditionally viewed through the lens of school or academia but extends to street knowledge or social awareness. However, intuitive knowledge is not typically given the same credit as traditional knowledge. Since school teaches us through the lens of practical and scientific knowledge, we are conditioned to view it as the most important type of knowledge.

Intuitive knowledge is just as valuable as academic knowledge because there are miraculous occurrences or personal experiences beyond our logical understanding. Everyone can tap into their intuition, but it requires knowledge of self because a person lacks discernment without it. The application of discernment is the difference between listening to your gut as opposed to social indoctrination.

Using divination tools such as astrology, reading palms, numerology, or prayer to communicate with the divine are all forms of intuitive knowledge. These practices require a recognition of the universe communicating back to you through symbolism and intuitive awareness. While intuitive knowledge can be taught, it can also come naturally through inner knowing. Having an intuitive understanding of how to work with nature, how to create art, how to read energy, or how to communicate with spirits are examples of intuitive knowledge.

While knowledge is valuable, the application of it is more valuable. As a result, finding a healthy balance between what is logical and what is mystical helps expand our perspective of the world. It allows us to respect other forms of sacred knowledge that we may overlook and undervalue. It also allows us to answer the bigger philosophical questions about the meaning of existence and humanity.

Knowledge of self is a great place to start when expanding your intuitive gifts. The ultimate question is how you will apply this newfound knowledge. Will you use it to empower or abuse others?
