I think with intuition. The basis of true thinking is intuition. Indeed, it is not intellect, but intuition which advances humanity. Intuition tells a man his purpose in life. One never goes wrong following his feelings. I don’t mean emotions, I mean feelings, for feelings and intuition are one. ~ Albert Einstein This ezine exalts feminine perception while alerting most men to the same; as both genders merge passions of life, their complementary energies hail awesome acclaim. ~ David Moorhead

Our Earth and a most engaging sun, both capable of sensitive cognition, will from their bond reflect to us any imaginable human intention. ~ DM

Kindness is in our power, even when fondness is not. ~ Samuel Johnson I do not know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be truly happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve. ~ Albert Schweitzer We know ourselves to be made from this earth. We know this earth is made from our bodies. For we see ourselves. And we are nature. We are nature seeing nature. We are nature with a concept of nature. Nature speaking of nature to nature. ~ Susan Griffin Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough. ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt Who would Jesus bomb? As Mark Twain pointed out over a century ago, the only truly prominent community that fundamentalists have so far established in any world, real or imaginary, is hell. ~ David James Duncan Staying Awake Archive and publication dates.

It is great to be alive! Really, it’s true, and I say that without a casual tongue in cheek manner. When we talk about being alive, we often neglect ways our bodies explore the very nature that created them in the first place.

Here are some reasons for feeling grateful about being alive.

Earthlings’ physical presences are exquisite art forms. Our bodies and what we choose to do with them might as well be on center stage performing with the curtain up, and the stage lights on max. Our bodies alone supply an abundance for which to be grateful.

Get Fascinated

I think you ought to feel absolutely fascinated with yourself! Woe to people who easily distract themselves by any of a number of obsessions as health or family matters; or business, community, goals, politics, religion, reputation, sex, work; or who cannot be wholly influenced by their own audacious powers of observation and intuition.

Consider Staying Awake an intrusive hornet, buzzing around your head with one idea in mind: To remind you that observing and endorsing your intuitive capabilities ought to rise to the top of your priority list for ‘Get to know yourself, please.’

• Do you allow your mind the time to figure out solutions on its own?
• Are you able to sense elegant, invisible processes must occur every time you do anything physical, or imagine a solution for a challenge in your business?
• Can you feel awed by your physical presence on Earth?
• If you’ve said yes to any of those questions, you understand thinking and feeling are the same thing; we often forget that energies for thinking and feeling are swirling around and inside our physical bodies.

Exercise. Compose a one-second thought that can serve you when you experience an intuitive moment of “Surprise!” Now here’s a novel idea to think when those surprising intuitive nudges catch you off guard. Say: ‘Thank you. I am fascinating!’ That’s it. A gentle, loving message to yourself is all you need as your body continues to perform its genius so you can read to the finish of this sentence.

Get Savvy

I understand in some circles the word savvy is slang, but this section of Staying Awake exalts our perceptive, compassionate nature meant for those we have chosen to surround us.

Lots of people are savvy, that is, street smart, and, depending on whom they talk with, they presume to hide their savvier side because it implies shrewdness: undermining another for profitable gains. Through sheer will, intelligence, and mistaken authority exhibited by results of mental depression, some savvy people learn how easy it is to control peoples’ choices by projecting insinuations and illusions as facts.

Do you feel threatened by the darkness and the heaviness in the paragraph just above? The sorts of savvy strategies expressed above are not what Staying Awake is about; savvy is about staying awake to and becoming comfortable with our body’s feelings and messages as we have learned to intuit their meanings.

Here’s a simple exercise for experimenting with intentions and listening for our body’s feeling responses while shopping in the grocery store.

Focus on the heart in your chest while looking at the tomatoes, and ask, ‘Is that what I want?’ It has been my experience as I exercise query that the body responds with a slight warmth in the chest for yes, or a slight heaviness or disgust for no. Sometimes, I feel no response whatsoever, and I ask again; if still no response, I move on to the next thing. Simple.

I trust the physical responses; I am no longer amazed with that exercise, and neither do I take it for granted. As simple as an awareness of our breathing, we constantly intuit.

If, for whatever reasons, you have repressed your savvy, nurturing capabilities; if you have repressed your capabilities of quick comprehension of happenings around you, then consider this an invitation to open the door, and come out of the closet in whatever way that seems appropriate for you.

I believe these are historic times for observing humans’ changes of consciousness. As we move further into this decade of colossal stacking of illusions, compassionate, intelligent, nurturing, savvy Earthlings will speak their common sense and educated guesses when nudged by their feelings. Listeners will have already been prepared for truth, whatever truth happens to be at that moment.

It is boggling when we consider the universal elegance unfolding global events. We are savvy because we are feeling and witnessing a sublime revelation of long held illusions’ suppressions.
