<\/a>To navigate through life, most people rely on their five senses: sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch. But if you\u2019re like a lot of spiritual people, you sometimes find yourself relying on a way of knowing that exists beyond the physical senses, using a sixth sense known as intuition.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve probably felt the push or pull of intuition. Where does it come from? <\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you listen to two prominent names in the world of spirituality, author and frequent Oprah<\/a> show guest Gary Zukav, and the modern day channeler Paul Selig, they will both tell you intuition comes from a non-physical source: spirit guides<\/strong>.<\/p>\nIn his landmark 1989 book Seat of the Soul<\/em>, Zukav explains that many of us are \u201cmultisensory personalities\u201d who rely on \u201cimpulses, hunches and sudden and subtle insights\u201d for guidance<\/a>. \u00a0These different strands of intuition originate in our soul and are informed by \u201cadvanced intelligences that assist the soul on its evolutionary journey<\/strong>.\u201d He believes these \u201cnonphysical teachers\u201d produce a level of truth we would be hard-pressed to uncover on our own. Zukav explains them this way:<\/p>\nOther intelligences inhabit other ranges of frequency. They coexist with us but are invisible to us. In the place that you now sit exist many different beings, each active in its own reality. These realities comingle with yours\u2026but are undetectable to the human eye.<\/em><\/p>\nWhile the five-sensory person may receive the same insights<\/a>, he or she believes they originate from the psyche and gives them short shrift. On the other hand, the multisensory personality strives to increase his or her awareness of this guidance and interacts with it<\/strong>. According to Zukav, when faced with a decisions or challenge, you should:<\/p>\nAsk the Universe to \u201chelp me to see.\u201d The answers may not always come in the ways that you expect, but they always come. Sometimes in the form of a feeling\u2014a yes or no feeling\u2014sometimes in the form of a memory, or a thought or a dream and sometimes in the form of a realization that is prompted by an experience that will occur the next day.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nZukav believes we can ask for and receive this guidance from a spirit guide at any time. It starts with \u201capproaching the questions in your life with a sense of faith<\/a> that there is a reason for all that is happening\u201d and that what is happening is for your own good. He writes of the rich rewards of accessing this wisdom:<\/p>\nThe ability to draw consciously upon your nonphysical guidance and assistance, to communicate consciously with a non-physical Teacher, is a treasure that cannot be described, a treasure beyond words and value.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\nHave you heard of Paul Selig?\u00a0<\/strong>Over the past few years, he has produced a number of channeled books that are dictated to him by a spiritual guide. If like most people, even those with a spiritual bent, you question whether this is too \u201cwoo-woo,\u201d I recommend you listen to a podcast<\/a> or watch a video<\/a> where this channeling takes place. If Selig is a fraudster, he has put together one fantastic act. With repeated exposure, it has become clear to me that Selig is genuine.<\/p>\nWriting in his first bookI Am The Word<\/em>, Selig compares our head to a radio that is constantly being bombarded by various frequencies. (Zukav uses a similar radio analogy.) Often lost in all the noise<\/a>, is the guidance we receive. If you\u2019re determined to hear this guidance,\u00a0you must decide that you are aligned to a higher frequency and that\u2019s what your radio is playing<\/strong>. This is the place where your spirit guides communicate with you, offering you guidance and support.<\/p>\n
