Intuition 101: The Truth Will Set You Free!
Who are you? I know, I know… that’s a big question you may not think about on a daily basis! But it’s the best place to start if you want to revive your intuition. Through knowing your true self, you’re able to better distinguish between information that is coming from your personal local reality and insight coming from your higher consciousness.
As I mentioned in my last blog How To Tune Into Soul FM!, intuition feels like truth. It might not make logical sense, but when you initially tune into it, it will feel real. It’s only after you filter it through your ego mind, it can get distorted. So, today I’d like to invite you to explore the inner workings of your ego.
You can answer the question “Who am I?” in two ways: I am Me (the five senses, the ego, the mind, etc.) and I am more than Me (the higher self/higher consciousness, the soul, etc.). We filter all of our experience and even our intuition through the first Me or what I call the “Me Bubble.” Our higher self, on the other hand, directly engages with Spirit.
To tap into the higher self and your intuition, you have to get past all the extra fluff coming from your “Me Bubble.”
Until you know who you really are, it can be very hard to distinguish between messages from your “Me Bubble” and your higher self. This is why many of us have had the experience of wishful thinking. The filter between the two gets clogged because your ego really wants to only acknowledge your local reality as truth. For example, you might meet a man and get all excited that he’s “the one” and block out the whispers from your intuition that he isn’t. When you objectively know and accept your truth—your ego tendencies, your story, your “stuff,” your idiosyncrasies, and so on—you fully open yourself to your intuition.
The bottom line is that in order to tune into your intuition, you need to know the true content of the world that exists in the mind of Me.
So, it’s time to take a personal inventory and get clear on who you are! Taking inventory is truly one of the most powerful exercises you can do shift your consciousness. I’ve done several personal inventories over the years and each time I gain greater awareness about myself and my higher consciousness.
Exercise:
First list the main events in your life. List them as facts in chronological order.
Then, write your story from the perspective of how you were wounded. It could be by anyone or by a situation. This helps you see how you may unknowingly be playing out the role of victim in your life.
Now, rewrite the same story from the perspective of what was good in your life.
Now, reread the three parts and notice how your perception has changed. We experience our personal truth through the interpretation of events. For intuition to be clear, we need to be neutral. You have to have perspective—for what is true for you today might not be true for you tomorrow. What is true for you now also may depend on your mood. Always keep this in mind so you can recognize your response to the world.
As you go about your day, stay conscious of what’s contained in your “Me Bubble.” Even small things such as likes and dislikes or a white lie may bias your perspective and leave you confused about what your intuition is telling you. So, live in your truth!
Staying in this truth will help you turn up the volume on your intuition.
Love,
Colette

I’ve always been a seeker of my truth and you’ve help me connect with it on a loving supportive level.
Participating in the on-line course with you (I also downloaded ‘The mirror of Love’), which helped me find my blocks, was one of the most spiritually rejuvenating journeys I’ve ever experienced.
Truth, clarity, transparency, intuition; these are all values grounded within your teachings bringing us closer to us, closer to Spirit.
Love you with all my heart Colette and hope one day I give you the biggest hug for all you are and for how you inspire me to be light and love.
Namaste sweet angel,

Colette,
OMG- You couldn’t have shared this at a better time! I think it is exactly the reminder that I’ve been needing to hear. And it was truly syncronistic, as it relates perfectly, to a conversation I just finished having with a dear friend of mine. I also find it amazing, how much
it corresponds with something I wrote quite recently…
I feel inspired to share,
if I may…
Somewhere between everything and nothing
between here and nowhere
I am me
and yet I am
more than me
Here in this moment
that contains all moments
Somewhere between nowhere and everywhere
in particular
I am pure potential
continuesly molding into form
within this space/time continuum
forever recycled
always changing
forever unchanged
never ceasing to exist.
I am Me
and yet…
I am More Than Me.
-I look forward to doing the exercise that You have suggested here.
I’m quite certain that it will be of ‘great value’ to me – in “clearing”
some of the recent “murkiness” of my intuitive “waters” -so to speak.
So,
Thanks again Colette,
for yet another “gem”
and…
-4 Being You!
With Much Love
and Gratitude,
*SoulShine
I liked what you said about having perspective and what may be true today may not be true tomorrow. I agree that what you hold true may depend on your mood.
I’m doing my best to “tap” into my intuition because I’ve had two opportunities come into my life again, and I don’t know why. I said “yes” to the first one and was told a few weeks ago that it’s not for me, but there’s some information for me within the opportunity. This doesn’t make sense because I had to pay for the opportunity. I just had another opportunity come around yesterday, and I said “yes,” but I’m thinking about it. I keep asking for guidance but haven’t received any clear messages. At least I can cancel these opportunities at anytime. Perhaps I’ll let go, relax, and listen for the message.
Colette, thank you.
As I become more in tune with my intuition, it gets easier and easier to filter out the ego. As you mentioned, so often the messeges I get don’t make sense, but am trusting more every day. The beauty is that as I trust, as I get used to stepping outside my ego and listen to the voice (for me it’s a voice and a feeling) objectively, the difference between intuition and ego get remarkably clear. And as a result of doing more listening and less second guessing and nay-saying, my life is simply soaring. It is a fantastic feeling.
Thank you for the post – it is right on!
Kim
Great blog Colette and a very important message. I’ve just been through this type of thing – knowing what I was supposed to do and having the fear fight it all the way. Intuition won – thank goodness!
Lots of love to you.
Bettina

Daily Stars with Shelley von Strunckel
www.shelleyvonstrunckel.comThere are several interpretations for the current alliance between Venus and Uranus in your sign, all of which involve surprises. While some might be welcome, others could seem worrying, at least at first. In every case they're worth exploring. The more you learn, the more the resulting developments will delight you. By Shelley von Strunckel
It was only a week ago that the planet of vision, Neptune, moved into its own sign, Pisces. This triggered a period of questioning about certain values and objectives you've regarded as unchanging. Once, perhaps, they were. But this is bringing changes in the world around you and, in some way, in everybody's life. By Shelley von Strunckel
While you'd admit to flaws in your character, stubbornness is not one of them. You are, however, urged to examine several situations in which you've simply refused to consider making changes, if not letting go of plans. True, you regard these as essential. Ask a few questions, and you'll discover they're not. By Shelley von Strunckel
Logic will get you a long way. It eliminates confusion and enables you to discuss plans with a clear mind. However, certain tricky individuals require a very different approach. Central to this lighter touch is humour. Once you're able to view the proceedings with humour, you'll realise you've had a very real breakthrough. By Shelley von Strunckel
You sometime stick with a plan or a passion more out of ego than because of logical reasons. Think of this now, before you become so involved in certain arrangements you'd have trouble disentangling yourself from them. Out of character as taking it slowly may be, it's your best option. By Shelley von Strunckel
Don't make the mistake of thinking that there's honour in fighting for certain arrangements that once meant a great deal to you. Not only would keeping these in place be a distraction, once you say farewell to them you'll be free to focus on far more promising, if unexpected, ideas or offers. By Shelley von Strunckel
It's time to acknowledge the only way you'll resolve one especially tricky matter is by standing up to somebody who's a bully. You've tried to satisfy this particular individual, but nothing's worked. That's because you still haven't acknowledged the only thing that has an effect is a simple, head on, confrontation. By Shelley von Strunckel
Only days ago you were battling against the idea of potential alterations in elements of your way or living or activities out in the world. However, you've finally recognised just how much these changes are needed, enough you're actually considering others. This is wise. There are many areas where similar changes would be timely. By Shelley von Strunckel
There's a difference between showing interest in new ideas, which you are, and actually committing to them. You know this but others don't. Bear this in mind, or certain individuals could easily mistake your rather enthusiastic response to these developments as a commitment, when you're doing no more than asking questions. By Shelley von Strunckel
To you, trust is fundamental to any close alliance, personal, professional or otherwise. So when you witness events that raise questions about that trust, you worry, if not become suspicious. While at other times that might be merited, the odds are good there's a rational explanation. You need only ask. By Shelley von Strunckel
Only a week ago, after over a decade there, Neptune departed your sign for good. While you may not be able to describe any discernable change, you'll begin to notice your thinking is clearer and your convictions stronger. Soon this will be joined by a return of feelings of confidence you thought gone forever. By Shelley von Strunckel
If you think an idea is good, that's enough. In the past you've allowed others' questions or even the opposition of certain individuals to keep you from pursuing something you regarded as worthwhile, and to your regret. Now that a similar situation has arisen, ignore others and do what you think is best. By Shelley von Strunckel
