Intuition

Good evening,

We need intuition and feeling for clairvoyance.
I often think to myself: it’s a shame that we don’t have more intuition about ourselves…

What is intuition, actually? According to my Bordas encyclopedia, here is the definition of intuition:

a form of direct and immediate knowledge. It is customary to contrast intuitive knowledge with discursive knowledge. Kant used the term sensible intuition to refer to what is ordinarily called sensation. Bergson, for his part, defines metaphysical intuition, or simply intuition, as the intimate and profound knowledge of the authentic reality of beings and things (see also Bergson).

Can't we develop our intuition for ourselves?
Couldn't I develop my intuition for myself?

That is to say, when I ask myself a question, the answer comes to mind.

Should the first received idea be taken into account? Or is the first one not necessarily the best?

Or maybe I do have intuition about myself, but by thinking about it so much, I’m blocking myself?

Hasn’t someone said that the answer to a tarot reading is already within us, but that in this way it becomes conscious?

What do you think?

I would like to know your opinion on this matter.

Best regards, ClaudiaC

It is very difficult to predict about oneself, whether through cards or any other form of mediumship.

Actually, I think it’s because of attachment—self-attachment makes the affective dimension stronger than intuition.

In my opinion, we must first and foremost cultivate detachment in order to learn to see what is true and distinguish it from illusions and self-projections.

Dear Claudiac,

Here are the synonyms for the word intuition

[b]intuition[/b] soul, aperception, heart, knowledge, consciousness, divination, finesse, intuition, inspiration, instigation, instinct, notion, premonition, prescience, foreboding, psychology, sense, sensation, feeling, tact, vision.

their opposites

[b]Antonyms[/bdeduction, reasoning

Can't we develop our intuition for ourselves?
Couldn't I develop my intuition for myself?

There are two types of individuals: intuitives and those who reason and deduce. What I am going to try to explain to you is my own opinion.

In my view, you seem to be one of those people who deduce and reason, which is why, in my opinion, you are seeking to find out whether you can use intuition and develop it. This makes me think that when you are looking for an answer through the cards, the answers you think you see are guided more by deductions than by intuition.

Regardless, it is very difficult for yourself to be able to predict; it is like a closed circuit. It is your own waves that come out of you to return to you. Whereas if we consult, our waves come out to be picked up by the psychic, who, through the cards and their abilities, manages to convey the answer, the message that is communicated to them. It still seems to me that one can presage events that later prove to be real, having experienced it.

In my opinion, we must first and foremost cultivate detachment in order to learn to see what is true and distinguish it from illusions and self-projections.

I am taking up Tom's statement above, which is important and, in my view, something you must take into account. It contains the key: distinguishing between reality and a chimera through self-detachment.

I hope I have provided you with the answers to your questions.

Thank you for your responses, Josy and Tom,

So I’m someone who reasons more through deduction? How can I then practice clairvoyance if it’s not pure intuition?
Is it just about me?

“Attachment” — meaning that I’m too attached to my thoughts? That I need to have a neutral and “detached” opinion when I draw my own cards? Is that it, Tom?

How is it that in clairvoyance a reading can be interpreted in different ways? And can we get different answers? Is it because some people use their intuitions and others use deduction?

If I use deduction… I don’t know if I can give good advice to others…?

Hello Claudiac,

I would say that everyone has feelings and intuition; in some people, it develops over time. It is by immersing ourselves in others' problems that we will best develop our intuition and sensitivity.
I mean, you always have to try to put yourself in the other person's shoes…
Clairvoyance can sometimes yield different results, depending on the type of cards used.

Warm regards
The magician.

Hello LeMagicien, and thank you,
Do feelings and intuition come with knowledge of others? And I think we can also draw parallels, or is each case unique?
And how could I develop my own intuition?

Best regards, ClaudiaC

Good evening Lemagicien,

You're right, everyone has more or less some intuition.

Regarding our friend Claudiac, who is certainly questioning her intuitive abilities, from which I suppose she is expecting answers. It must be difficult for her, as she is seeking answers for herself through her own intuitions.

As you so rightly say, one must immerse oneself in others' problems in order to develop one's intuitions and sensitivity. Therefore, it seems to me that we are in a closed-loop process. She must develop her intuitions and sensitivity by being immersed in her own concerns. A fortiori, it is therefore difficult to put oneself in another's place, since that other is herself.
Unable to do so, she tries to find the answer through deduction, which is her primary strength. Our friend Claudiac is, it seems to me, someone who thinks a great deal; this does not preclude having intuition. It seems to me that this primary strength does not leave her enough room for her intuition to develop.

You are absolutely right; the result of a clairvoyance session differs depending on the tarot, oracle, or cards used.

By the way, on this subject, could you please inform me? Could you specify what each type of tarot or oracle offers us? For example, the notions of time, the particularity of what each one develops as an answer. Let’s take the well-known ones: Belline, Marseille, 32-card game, Lenormand, or others that you find interesting. Thank you in advance.

Good evening Josy and Claudiac,

There are no good or bad tarots or oracles; it all depends on the interpretation one makes of them.
They all provide us with knowledge about the human being and the elements that surround us, through the variety of symbolism expressed by each card according to the era of its creation.
It is indeed by analyzing the symbolism of each card that one also develops their intuition by appealing to their imagination and sensitivity.
We will find out what a particular type of tarot offers us by practicing and choosing the one that gives us the most satisfaction in terms of interpretations.

Friendship
The magician.

Thank you LeMagicien and Josy,

Have you ever done readings for yourself? And what does your intuition tell you at that moment?

Best regards, ClaudiaC

Yes, dear Claudiac, I have done readings for myself, and far too many, in my opinion.

Telling you whether it was positive in the sense of getting concrete answers, that happened rarely. The other times, which were the majority, it was quite vague, so in that case I stop and consult. Although some psychics have told me that I had the answers given my abilities, but that I hadn’t noticed them, as it is difficult to see for oneself.

Hello Claudiac,

Yes, I have also drawn the cards for myself on several occasions, but the interpretation is more difficult to analyze when doing it for oneself than for someone else.
It is always harder to see for oneself than for others; is this due to knowledge of the cards? Probably…
So I prefer to consult like Josy too.

Best regards
The magician.

Good evening LeMagicien and Josy,
Thank you very much for your response.
Is it because we overthink and thus "cloud" our intuition?

Best regards, ClaudiaC

Go on, dear Claudiac, develop your intuitions Think it through, you'll see your answers will be clearer

Hello everyone,

Regarding our intuitive ability to feel and see for ourselves, I would like to confirm that when I started reading coffee grounds (I generally get good feedback on my readings, according to my friends), upon discovering that I had this receptivity, I told myself that I could also see clearly in my own cup.
And every time I tried, after a reading for a friend, I would discover mine with… piles of coffee inside!
And over time, for example, last night I did a reading and had a coffee with the friend who was at my place, and I also turned my cup upside down.
Last night was one of the first times I was able to see and feel things clearly for myself. Even if it is less developed than for others due to the difficulty of projection and the subjectivity we have toward ourselves, as Lemagicien said, I am starting to see things.
But I admit that I don’t enjoy it as much as I do when watching for others.

I’d also prefer someone to read the cards for me. It’s more thrilling and I feel more detached and ready to “open up.”

On the other hand, regarding sensitivity or intuitive perception as a felt experience, I think we all have it within us. Even for ourselves, but perhaps we interpret it more as instinct?

Friendship,
Natou

Hello Natouchka, and thank you for your post.
Coffee grounds, yes, that seems interesting to me. A friend did it for me the first time when we were on vacation abroad. It was at the beginning of the year. He told me something, but so far it hasn’t happened yet.
I am taking up this sentence again: Even for ourselves, but we interpret it more as instinct, perhaps?

That is to say, yes, I think I have instinct and intuition, but I don't know when it's what I want (deep down) and when it's intuition? How can one tell the difference?

I'd really like you to read my coffee grounds.
How do you do it?

Best regards, ClaudiaC

Hello Natouchka, Hello everyone,

Well, my dear Natouchka, it's very good that you can see into your cup, because for me it's just nothing!

It is true that I engage in self-suggestion, and that alone bothers me; I prefer to have things deciphered for me.

We all have intuitions, some are more intuitive than others.

Best regards
Ladysally

Hello Natouchka,

Indeed, this coffee grounds process interests us; could you provide us with some concrete examples and key concepts?

What a particular form means? For example

Thank you in advance.

Good evening Claudiac,

I was happy to see your message

But I don't know when it's what I want (deep down) and when it's intuition? How can one tell the difference?
In fact, what you truly want deep down is inevitably marked by subjectivity and imbued with positivity (we do not wish harm upon ourselves). Therefore, we want so much for this thing we desire to come to pass that we can quickly extrapolate. That said, my Claudiac, I never forget the expression that says that dreaming very strongly of something that would improve your life or make you happy, by making you think positively and take action toward its realization: wanting something very strongly deep down is already a first step toward that thing. There are people who hope for an entire lifetime but remain constant spectators of their own lives, feeling that they have no control over what happens to them. What you want deep down always has a part that you can control. Because what is deep down, you are always inevitably aware of it in some way; you can identify it.

When it comes to intuition, I think it’s less tangible. Has it ever happened to you that you felt uneasy, not at peace, anxious, without knowing why? Just like a sort of feeling? And then later to learn some not-so-good news, or something negative?
Or the opposite, feeling incredibly good for no reason and telling yourself that everything will go your way that day?
It’s like feeling directly good or bad when you walk into someone’s house, for example.
I think that in intuition there is a sort of “clash” between your waves and those that surround you or surround a person for whom you would do a clairvoyance, for example. Intuition, although coming from within, is in fact an “encounter,” a bit like a dialogue of waves, of energies.
That is why it is harder to have a clear intuition about ourselves, because the circle is restricted there; you are turning around yourself and can less feed your own waves. It must be a bit like a difficult monologue to interpret, since the source is yourself and we all have a subjective knowledge of ourselves. I think that in order to achieve a more developed intuition of oneself, one certainly has to work on it, but in small doses, because the understanding you will develop will be more restricted than an understanding of something external.
But I think that for people who truly have a highly developed intuition, it must not be easy every day for their inner peace. It must not be obvious to always “feel” things. The common notion would be that it makes life easier for us. I think it would make life more difficult as long as we are living our lives as they are. Can you imagine how to reconcile everyday life, your practical life, with all sorts of visions or intuitions that constantly come to mind?
In the end, I think it’s just part of the game. We may be hypersensitive in certain areas, but we are still only human.

On the other hand, I am convinced that a form of intuitive intelligence is built and develops with age and life experience, when we begin to ask the ESSENTIAL questions. When we have the chance to evolve in an environment, profession, setting, or culture that gives us a better chance of asking questions or becoming receptive than certain human beings who will live only in the concrete, with dictated priorities.

What matters is that people manage to free themselves precisely from social and cultural machines, from shackles: excessive consumption, “trash TV,” debates of interest, wars, dictates, success… so many notions created by men to prevent other men from thinking.

And that is what we are doing here…

In any case, that is just my humble view of things.

So coffee grounds, it's very simple.
You need a small special pot (I think you could ask your Bulgarian friend for one, if you don’t already have one?), and the special coffee for brewing that you can easily find in any large supermarket or Eastern grocery store.
Well, the cup is also special
Fill your cup with cold water and pour it into the small saucepan. Add a cold teaspoon of coffee, not quite full since the cup is small, add powdered sugar to taste, stir gently while cold, and place it over very low heat, without stirring any further (hmm, and now it smells like rich, velvety coffee). The mixture will gradually swell, and when it starts to rise toward the top, just before boiling (do not let it boil), remove the saucepan from the heat, pour a little into the bottom of the cup (this is where the frothiest part goes), put the saucepan back on the heat for one second, and fill your cup completely.
And here, you can savor one of the most aromatic and surprising coffees there is (I have a real passion for coffee).
You must stop when you feel that only the coffee residue is left, while still leaving a little liquid so that the grounds can “release.”
You place the saucer on the cup, make a wish, and spin it three times clockwise. Then, you turn the whole thing toward you and place it upside down on the table, and wait until the bottom of the cup is completely cold.
You gently turn the cup upside down and begin to look at the bottom (your heart), discerning figures, scenes, people, animals that all carry symbolism, numbers, letters—this can be anything among all these elements (at the start, a reference book to decode the symbols is recommended; I did not use one). And these symbols blend with your intuition, your sensitivity to see, and everything takes on meaning…

I’ve never done this and have no idea what it might yield, but I can try to drink a coffee while thinking of you and try to read? We do this a lot with tarots; personally, I’ve only heard of this type of practice once, but I really don’t know what it might yield…
Tell me if you're up for it, and I'll give it a try.

Friendship,
Natou

I think that would be an excellent idea! It is the best way to
become a psychic

By the way, I think this topic deserves to leave the “Miscellaneous and Discussion” space, and I am moving it to “Becoming Psychic,” if you see a better place… I would agree…
