Intuition is a condition or power little understood. It is often relegated to the category of superstition. Empirical science, for example, could never agree to grant credibility to the use of intuition. Many of us will use expressions like “gut feeling” or “a woman’s intuition” without giving a serious thought to the possibility that there may […]
There is not one single Avatar, Messiah, Master, or Prophet who has not alluded to a period of great confusion which, at one time or another during his or her quest, every Seeker must confront and, if possible, overcome.

Many of today’s challenges are caused by people talking and giving their opinions while not listening to what others have to say. Effective communication not only encompasses speaking to others, it also involves […]
