“Intuition is true and valid, and you’re right on track.”
In the intro this series, we talked about what all spiritual people are seeking, but few ever find.
It’s the knowing that they’re good and right on track—living a life that’s 100% aligned with their soul, with Peace in their hearts.
Now, we’re getting right into Reason #1 for why spiritual people get stuck along that path:
They keep making themselves wrong.
This one seems so simple on the surface—but for most people, it’s actually a pretty intricate puzzle.
If you do everything you’re “supposed to do” in life, you quickly lose yourself into a soulless path. Your intuition gets foggy, you feel like crap, and when it goes too far… it can only end with a sob-in-the-shower breakthrough about how much you’ve strayed from your truest path.
If you don’t do everything you’re supposed to do, you feel the social pressure of being unproductive, lazy, and unmotivated. You constantly feel like you have to defend yourself to every last person in your life, and no one truly understands you.
There’s literally no way to be “right.”
All you can do is to tell yourself that you’re “not wrong,” but that’s not always so convincing inside the walls of our psyche.
Even when you’re able to catch the emotional spiral while it’s happening, you just end up telling yourself how you need to stop making yourself wrong—you end up making yourself wrong for making yourself wrong!
This endless cycle is far from simple.
At its root are some of the biggest questions life has to offer:
What’s the purpose of life?
Why am I here?
Where do I fit into society?
How do I get ahead without losing myself?
Why is the path not clearer for me?
Is divinity real?
Does divinity care about me?
What am I doing wrong?
This isn’t so simple as “self doubt” or “negative beliefs.”
As someone who’s dedicated your life to following your own soul’s whisper, you have a unique challenge that very few people on this planet face.
You have to be able to rationalize to yourself how you can possibly be in this small minority of people who care about intuition, Light, and divinity—and still be correct.
Have you ever seen those hidden camera shows, where someone walks into an elevator and everyone is facing the other way?
Or where everyone at a table gives the wrong answer to a simple question, just to see what the one person who’s not in on it might do?
Here’s a clip, if you haven’t:
99 times out of 100, the people on these hidden camera shows end up doing what everyone else is doing—even when it makes absolutely no sense.
If you really think about it, that kind of pressure is exactly what you’re facing—every day.
You’re that one person in a hundred standing the right way in the elevator, or giving the right answer to the question when no one else agrees.
You’re walking a path that very few people are walking.
You’re trusting your intuition, when everyone else is walking a traditional path and following traditional logic.
It’s uncomfortable, it hurts, and it’s difficult.
In the elevator example, you could say these people were just caving to “social pressures,” but it’s a bit more complicated than that.
In that moment, they had to justify to themselves why the majority of people got one answer, and they got another.
Chances are, they missed something… right?
It’s hard not to spiral into insecurity, be overcome with self doubt, and eventually just fall in line.
“How could I possibly be right, when no one else agrees with me?”
Intuitive life is not so different from this elevator.
You’re standing for something that very few people stand for—and as hard as it is to believe, you’re not wrong.
Intuition really is a legitimate way of living.
You’re not messing this up.
You’re not lazy.
You’re not unproductive.
You’re not unmotivated.
You’re just different.
It’s not easy living in a world that was designed to stomp your soul out of your very being.
It’s not easy being faced with hundreds of to-do’s and to say, “Intuitively, that just doesn’t feel relevant to me.”
You are in the elevator, and it’s hard to face the other way.
But you’re not wrong.
Truthfully, you don’t even have “self-worth issues.”
You’re just facing an impossibly difficult emotional puzzle.
You’re being asked by divinity to trust yourself over the entire world around you, and to stand firm in your belief anyway.
That’s not simple, and it’s not easy.
Emotionally, it’s actually very difficult.
But when you understand what’s happening, while it’s happening, it gets easier.
When you know that everyone is only facing the wrong direction in the elevator, because it’s what their parents did, because it’s what their parents’ parents did, and so on, it’s not so difficult to pave a new way forward.
It’s easier to think, “Maybe I’m actually onto something here.”
We’re going to get into this more in the coming days, but for this very moment, it’s just important to understand that what you’re doing is uniquely challenging… but also correct.
Intuition really is a valid way of living.
The world around you may not agree, but your own experience has proven it to you far too many times already.
You can’t write off your knowing anymore. You’ve seen too much, and had it validated too many times.
You also can’t suddenly live in a world where everyone understands you. They don’t, and probably won’t any time soon.
You can, however, understand the unique psychological and emotional pressure you’re up against, and face it head-on.
“Yes, I’m different. But I know I’m right.”
You might not want to hear this, but it’s very likely that you’ll feel different for the rest of your life.
It’s very likely that the world around you will never fully understand you.
That means, more likely than not, this feeling isn’t just going to go away.
The only way out of this intense emotional puzzle is to embrace how different you really are.
Can you see why this isn’t so simple as “not being so hard on yourself anymore”?
Feeling “wrong” is inevitable when everyone around you is doing something different.
They are showing you, constantly, with their actions that they disagree with you.
It’s like waking up every day and having dozens of people say to you face, “I would never do that.”
Translation: “You’re wrong.”
How in the world are you supposed to “thought work” that away?
You can’t.
But if you understand the pressure that comes with being different, you can move on to a far bigger and far more important question:
“Do I agree with me?”
The moment you recognize that you agree with yourself, and you know why you agree with yourself, it’s significantly easier to walk this soul path.
Yes, you are different.
Yes, that’s uncomfortable.
But if you agree with you, and you’re really onto something here, what’s the problem, really?
That was Reason 1 in the Top 5 Reasons Spiritual People Struggle (and how to overcome them):
“They make themselves bad and wrong.”
Next, we’re going to explore how emotional intensity takes out a huge majority of the spiritual population and what you can do to fortify to it.
