TITLE:  What is Intuition? – Spirit of Prophesy & Developing Intuition

Shaman Charles Crooks answers the questions, "What is intuition?," "What is the purpose of intuition?," and "What is the process for developing intuition?" He explains that everyone has the ability to bring forward the spirit of prophesy, including testing the information to determine its nature. Shaman Crooks also distinguishes between the terms 'psychic' and 'intuitive.' Furthermore, he elaborates about the difference between a past life memory and an intuitive flash. Listen below to learn more. You can also read the transcription below the video.

Note:

The videos from Segment 8 to Segment 20 have a technical problem where the  Video Light used was too low. This caused Red Eye.

Red Eye is the reflection of the Retina back to the camera when the soruce of the light is too close to the camera lens. 

It is not an evil redness coming from my eyes.  We didn't realize the problem till later. A fix is on its' way.

Cindy:  Hello, this is Cindy Herb, The Joyful Survivor. I try to give everybody on my site some alternative information on spirituality [and] healing. I'm here today with Charles Crooks who happens to be a shaman here in the Dallas Fort Worth area. Thank you Charles for being with us today.

Shaman Charles:  Thank you very much.

Cindy:  I want to talk to you about intuition. What is intuition? Can you define intuition?

Shaman Charles: Oh gee…that's a…yeah, everybody's got it. How often have you had those epiphanies or those mini prophecies or when you get a nature or knowing of something or somebody. Often it is to be found that when you've got those little yellow, red flags in your mind that if you decided not to go forward it ended up that it was very, very important not to do so. This is well documented throughout all of history and throughout all of time. But the ability for the individual to perceive and become aware of things as they actually are and not what they are perceived to be.

Cindy:  So you're saying that all of us have the ability to be intuitive.

Shaman Charles: Oh yeah, yeah.  

Cindy:  But how can you increase it? 'Cause you're obviously [to me] more intuitive than a lot of people.

Shaman Charles:  Wait a minute. Wait a minute. No, no, no…it doesn't work that way. Okay. Imagine if you have…if your normal level of consciousness is on Channel 9. Your intuitive side of yourself will be on Channel 10. They're both there all the time. They're both turned on. It's a matter of giving the attention to it. It's kind of like the third eye issue. You've got your regular eyes on Channel 12. Okay? Or Channel 11 depending what area you're in. And that's what you're doing all the time. And Channel 13, the next channel up, is your third eye. They're turned on all the time. The key is, giving attention to it. That's the only difference between one and another with regards to those abilities.  

Cindy:  But some people…I agree with you that I know that people are intuitive. And I always look at intuition as Spirit speaking to us. But the question is, is it a constructive force [speaking to us]? Some people say intuition is a destructive force. Can you…

Shaman Charles:  You have to be able to figure out…one of the keys on determining that is 1) ask the questions, "What does this serve…what is the nature…what is the cause…why is this information being presented?" Especially when it has to do…let's say you've got some intuition or some thought akin to 'well, that person is going to try to take you down, or you need to take him out,' or something along those lines. That is a very low thing and that is not constructive in nature. So, you basically set your own standard as to what you'll pay attention to. That determines the type of information you'll attune to. For example, since your tuner is already there, it's already connected to that collective consciousness. So, depending on where you’re drawn to will determine the type of information that'll be available to you that you will be able to receive.  And so, if you're at the higher levels in regards to…and I'm using higher in quotes here…if you're at the higher levels or the more constructive levels…then that's what you are going to be receiving or information along those lines.

Cindy:  So Spirit is not like…we're physical beings, but we’re spiritual beings first. Correct?

Shaman Charles:  Well yeah.

Cindy:  So is your intuition tied to that Spirit within you?

Shaman Charles: Yeah.

Cindy:  That's the Spirit speaking.

Shaman Charles:  Yeah. Well, that's a good way to put it. Yeah, that's fair.

Cindy: But again, you have to test the information that you're getting.  

Shaman Charles:  It's important to test it, especially to know the nature of it because that's really the key. When you're just beginning with this stuff, you have to experiment and there's going to be a lot of low-level individuals who'll try to imitate other individuals and try to influence you to go in certain directions. And that's really quite common.  

Cindy:  So again…to increase your intuition…can you increase somebody's intuition?

Shaman Charles:  Ninety percent of that is getting them to do little exercises. You know, to pay attention to it.

Cindy:  So that's how you increase it is to pay attention to it.

Shaman Charles:  Yeah, that which you give attention to becomes.

Cindy:  And exercise it. Correct?

Shaman Charles:  Yeah.

Cindy:  Yeah…that's the way I look at it. So, I want to know is there a difference between being intuitive and being psychic?

Shaman Charles:  Well, that's an interesting question. I never really put the two together in that context because I haven't really thought about it because it's really never come across the table. So being psychic utilizes the same tools…the same method that using intuition does. One is a passive event where you are continually receiving stuff on the intuitive side. However, being psychic is an active process where you’re actually going out and finding stuff or actually determining the nature of something. So, one is passive and one is active.

Cindy:  Oh.

Shaman Charles:  So, even though they use the same tools, it's a method that is brought forward.

Cindy:  Wow. Can intuition be the result of some past life remembrance? How can you tell the difference between what I'm feeling is something from a past life or that it's a message from Spirit? Is there a difference?

Shaman Charles:  Yeah, there's a big difference? Yeah.

Cindy:  What is it?

Shaman Charles:  Generally, the past life memories will be with you ever since you were born.

Cindy:  And that's different than just intuition?

Shaman Charles:  Yeah….or, or…

Cindy:  What's the purpose of intuition?

Shaman Charles:  Or, however, let's say you're going to Europe for the first time in your life. And the next thing you know you can drive around the place like your back yard…you know where everything is. You know, Patton did that…

Cindy:  Right.

Shaman Charles: …because he'd been there before. That's not intuition, it's knowing.

Cindy:  My question is: what's the purpose of intuition? Is it to warn you? Is it to help you in a more constructive manner? What is the purpose of intuition?

Shaman Charles:  I think you answered it quite well. Its purpose is for warning, to give you assistance, to move you in a constructive path.

Cindy:  Yeah. And I would agree with that because, you know, when I was a child, as you know, I was raped. And at the time that I was following this guy who eventually raped me, my intuition was going off like crazy.

Shaman Charles: Yeah.

Cindy:  I was told [from my intuition] not to go, not to go. But I wasn't listening to it because people are not normally taught to increase their intuition.

Shaman Charles:  Well, keep in mind during that time in society, especially in the South, anything that wasn't from the pulpit was bad news.

Cindy: But do you think now people are using their intuition more and more?

Shaman Charles:  Oh yeah.

Cindy:  'Cause they understand it. That it is really a constructive thing…

Shaman Charles: Yeah.

Cindy:  …and Spirit is guiding them. Correct?

Shaman Charles:  Their inner self…their larger self…is a good way to put it. Is giving them a heads up is what's going on.

Cindy:  Alright. Well, thanks a lot Charles for talking to us about intuition today. You've helped clear some things up for me. If you want to find where Charles is, he's got two websites. One of them is http://shamanic-enterprises.com and the other one, which is absolutely my favorite because of the name is…

Shaman Charles:  http://healerofheartsandminds.com.

Cindy:  Again, I want to thank you Charles for being with us.
