3. ARTICLE "Beware the Ides of March! "

by Julie Hargreaves

"Beware the Ides of March!" That was the warning given to Caesar by a soothsayer before his death. The warning was ignored and the rest is history.

However, we all carry a bit of the soothsayer around with us and can benefit from it's wisdom, if we pay heed to it's advice. This internal soothsayer is what we usually call intuition.

How much attention do you pay to your intuition?

When it tells you to "go the other way home", do you listen or does your head over-rule it with logical reasons not to?

What would have been Caesar's fate had he paid more attention to the soothsayer? Are there times in your life when you wished that you'd heeded the warning signs or alarm bells going off in your head? We've all been there, seen it, done that, but hopefully a bit less sticky than Caesar's!

Logic has told us - "yep this investment looks good" or "there's no rain forecast, so I don't need an umbrella". And, while we're busy counting up all the un-hatched chickens and planning what to do with the nest egg, we've no listening for the little doubt tugging at our sleeve trying to be heard above the clunk and whirrs of the brainwork. Of course, if it all goes pear shaped, you can exercise the foot and give yourself a good kick or flagellate your self esteem with "if only". But then, if it's someone else's intuition you ignored you will probably have to endure the smug "I told you so".

So, why do we give more credence to intellect than intuition? Why is logic used more for decision making than gut feeling or intuitive reasoning?

Perhaps it is because logic provides us with what we perceive as an unchangeable truth about a particular situation. The sum 2 + 2 has one answer (ie 4) which is right and therefore all other answers are wrong. You can convince yourself or even someone else with that type of reasoning, because the same answer is always true both for you and for others. However, intuition is a truth from a broader perspective. There isn't an absolute one right answer that fits everyone in that situation. What may be "right" for you might not be "right" for me.

If a situation doesn't feel right to you or you're not getting "good vibes" about it, how do you convince someone else (or your intellect) when there is nothing tangible to see, hear, touch or compute?

Working from intuition isn't always as straight forward and as absolute as logic and so it takes a measure of trust in order to use it.

An example might best illustrate how intuition can work. When I go shopping, there are times I might be drawn to buy something I don't normally purchase (leaving aside whatever special promotions are on in the store and advertising lures!). At the time I can think of no particular reason that I want that item and logically I might dismiss it as an unnecessary purchase. Then a couple of days later, I find a need for just the thing I picked up. I didn't know what I needed it for when I bought it, but later on I was glad I listened to my intuition (or maybe kicking myself for putting it back on the shelf!)

Our intuition is that part of us that senses rather than computes. It gives us information in subtle ways, like a feeling or just being drawn towards something. Maybe you're ill and stay at home the day something bad happens where you would normally have been or you had an urge to ring someone and then discovered they'd been trying to find your phone number to ring you.

Intuition is a bit like smelling the pie in the oven rather than seeing it on your plate. You know it is coming because you can smell the aroma, even though you can't physically touch (or eat) it yet.

The thing we need to do is to practice using our intuition and trusting it, listening to our own inner voice that can put another layer on what we touch and see. We also need to differentiate it from emotions such as fear, which can cloud our true intuition.

So, practice on the small things where it doesn't matter if you get it "right" or "wrong", then when you really do need your intuition looking out for you, you are comfortable about trusting it.

5. "Spirituality and Illness" by Nahwinga

"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves."

In the material world, society accepts the fact that we all do become ill from time to time, and while we are ill we usually receive much sympathy and support. But along with this support comes the expectation that we will recover fairly quickly so that things can return to "normal" when we will no longer need all the help and understanding which was forthcoming while we were ill.

Everyone reacts to the onset of illness in different ways. For some, the attention they get when they are ill far surpasses anything they can get while they are well, so illness can become very attractive as a way to guarantee this attention and people in this group really have no incentive to become well at all. For others, illness can be a serious and most aggravating interruption to a full and busy lifestyle, so they can't wait to get well and get on with it. Others simply regard illness as a part of life and patiently accept the time it takes them to get well again.

All of the above is fine for minor ailments, but when confronted by a chronic or life threatening illness, most people have no idea at all how to cope, either as the patient or an onlooker. So if the illness is a chronic or life threatening one, a totally different approach becomes necessary. Some people become so bogged down in the "why me?" or "what have I done to deserve this?" syndrome that it can lead to a life spent wallowing (usually alone) in negative self pity, using up precious energy that could be used to aid in their recovery.

For others, the illness can bring new insights and guidance along a pathway of discovery, such as an extension of their Spiritual Path, which might never otherwise have been found. These people come to look on their illness as a gift sent to teach them something they might never otherwise have learnt. They also come to learn that "becoming cured" (in the sense that all traces of the disease/illness disappear) and "being healed" (in the sense of learning how to live with the illness/disease) are not always the same.

6. AND FINALLY ...

A Mother's Intuition:

A young man tells his mother he's fallen in love and is going to get married. "Just for fun" he says, "why don't I bring over a couple of female friends as well as my fiancee and see if you can guess which one I'm going to marry!"

The next day he brings 3 very beautiful women to the house, sits them down on the couch for them to chat a while. Then he says to his mother "OK, which one do you think I'm going to marry?"

She immediately replies "The red-head in the middle".

"Wow, I'm impressed" says the young man "you're right, how did you know?"

"I don't like her!"
