The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant -Albert Einstein

So the rational mind is the dominant one in a person, but what happens if the intuitive mind becomes dominant?

Let me tell you about an experiment, where a man did exactly that.

First of all, how the heck do they differ between the two. What comes from intuition is more in the form of feeling and that feeling is pure, there is no disorder in it. It’s like a state of balance, which is energizing. It is free, connects, expands and integrates into its nature. You don’t think it, you feel it. The rational mind creates thoughts, which in themselves have no emotional richness. They are more still, stable, even. They are bringing meaning, sense, connecting the elements, holding the image together.

Anyway, the subject started the experiment in early September 2009. What he did was let the intuitive mind lead the way and the rational mind simply translate that into actions in the present, which is the opposite of the usual relationship. where the rational mind is trying very hard to figure out how things are going to happen.

In this experiment, the role of the logical (rational) mind was not to figure out what will happen, but how to make things happen now. It is important to say that at the conscious level the person had no idea what will happen in the future. Like intuition was telling him what to do in the moment, but not telling him why and how exactly this relates to the future. Sometimes he was giving the subject a hint, but more of a temporal direction, rather than something solid related to the future.

What happened?

Subject at the time was in his junior year in college and had started working part-time since the summer after his sophomore year. The person reduced the number of study hours by about 3 times compared to last year. In the second year, the subject achieved 66.78% on average compared to the third year, where the GA was 72.96%.

Subject spent approximately a month in which he was not using a watch to coordinate his schedule (no alarm in the morning, no looking at the clock to determine if he should go somewhere, etc.). At this time the subject needed to go to his part-time job, go to seminars and conferences at the university and etc. The person was working a job, which was shift-based and the shifts were random (even early in the morning). He was following his intuition of when to go, what to do. The result was that the person was occasionally late for some seminars, conferences and shifts, but usually a small amount of time (10-15 minutes). He skipped a few seminars or conferences, which did not negatively affect the individual in any way. He wasn’t fired or disciplined, he didn’t fail the course, he didn’t become a FAIL. The subject had a much more efficient way of life as he had more time for many things, lost less energy and increased synchronicity in his life. He reported multiplied enthusiasm, passion, joy and that he felt his life was much better organized compared to when the rational mind was in charge.

It is important to mention that a key component for this experiment to be reproduced is the subject’s cognitive processing technique. This method is related to self-awareness. Each time the subject experienced a negative emotion (feeling of fear, anxiety, contraction, weakness) due to environmental stimuli, subconscious definitions were made. This process occurs by analyzing the situation in which the feeling occurred and what kind of definitions trigger the stimuli and changing them with the preferred definitions. For example, the subject of the experiment had a course with a deadline of one month. The rational mind, if he had led, would have said, “please let’s start now or in a week’s time as we need to plan and don’t know how long it will take” etc. The intuitive mind did not say that at all. Actually, in this case, you mentioned the coursework 3 days before the due date. But because there was a definition in the subject that good results are achieved with hard work, the closer the deadline was, the more negative emotion the subject experienced from the fact that he was not doing the coursework. So while he was feeling that negative emotion of anxiety, contraction, etc. described above, he started researching to find the definition. The person first began by wondering when that negative emotion occurred, what it was connected to. In this example, when he recalled the course work. In most cases, it is not a very simple process because the topic will go through several definitions, which will not be the central definition. I will use the analogy to give you a better understanding. Imagine a problem. To permanently solve a problem, you need to get to the root cause of the problem, and to do so, you’ll first go through multiple peripheral causes. Same with definitions! The way to know if you have successfully changed the core belief is effortless. If you correctly identified and changed with the preferred definition in the same situation, you’ll get a different result. You will not experience the negative emotion, but the intuitive feelings more clearly. Using that technique, you will be able to recognize intuition, which is a clear and pure feeling, and you will know when there is just a little bit of mud in the water that prevents you from drinking it.

Important note: Definitions are subconscious. Every time you run this process, you tap into the subconscious and you pull out certain definitions, you research them, you change them, and then you put them back into the subconscious. When you re-experience the situation, you should not think about the changed definition. It is already in the subconscious and it is an automated process.

Would you experiment?
