There is only one way that I know of that is effective in the development of intuition, and that’s developing self-esteem. If you lack the strength, the ability, the skill, the regard for yourself to trust your own voice, you cannot make that journey of listening to a voice that will ask you to do that which makes no sense to those around you.
The moment that you choose for consciousness, rather than for the tired-out collective idea of how you ought to live—that’s the transformative moment…and intuition is the golden fuse.
