Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 Discriminating Which Choice to Make in Life: A Taste Test 1st Tester(Complete Ignorance)takes a sip: "Hmmm, I just don't know which one I prefer. I can't tell the difference between the two." 2nd Tester (Intuition = partially ignorant) takes a sip: "Hmmm, I like Coke, but I can't tell you why, but oh, it just feels sooo good, but I don't know why it makes me feel so good." 3rd Tester (Discrimination) takes a sip: "I like Pepsi because it's sweeter than Coke, while someone who doesn't like sodas so sweet, would probably prefer Coke. Both are carbonated which is something I like about both of them. The Coke sample seemed a bit colder than the Pepsi sample which may have affected this experiment." God gave humans a brain to use, not to ignore. If "intuition" were the means of spiritual guidance, then all the psychics in the world would be the most evolved. I'm not denying that "intuition" can occur, but it should be checked with discrimination to rule out hidden desires/preferences, emotional imbalance, and mischievous spirits as being the real source of the message, and should never be the real source of guidance in the first place, as the masters throughout the ages have always said to use discrimination, which is of the intellect, which will need to be let go near the end anyways.
