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.

responses in the above interview were unrehearsed.
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
