Intuit This

When I followed intuition,

things seemed to work out 

better...my rational decisions

always led to disaster...

luckily, it was hard for rationality

to find purchase on my slippery,

contradictory, schizophrenic 

privileged upbringing...I mean,

it was just a matter of time before

I came out of that stew, as we all 

do....in my case, it was very lucky...

Inuit, intuit, else I'm not into it....

you think our ancestors made

tools, learned to cook, because

of rational mind? No, they just 

saw what fire did.

Rational mind..."I think therefore,

I am."  DesCartes before the horse...

if you weren't already, you wouldn't

already be thinking....after "I am" is

the only time you can realize you're

thinking...a stone fish would eat your

point of view for breakfast.

Rational mind is addictive because

it makes sense, like heroin when you

Jones...like any tool, it can be misused.

Western mind has raised the rational

beyond it's intended purpose, to make

shopping lists, get to the moon, to the 

point that Western tendency is for

humans to believe that rational mind 

can...do everything...solve all the problems,

which, seems to me, an oxymoron....

to believe in rational mind.
