Intuition is data processing too fast for our conscious mind to comprehend. "The Science of How to Access the Inner-Net of Intuitive Knowledge" will guide you through several techniques designed to make intuition an accessible, understandable, everyday occurrence. When you apply exercises in this book, you'll be able to retrieve answers about relationships, finances, health, or anything else you can think to ask. The answers are there, ripe for picking, if you follow the instructions on how to plant the seeds, nurture them, you will harvest the fruits of this gift, we all call intuition. The amount of information we have flowing towards us at any given time is immeasurable. The problem is we don't know how to access this storehouse in blessings of wealth, love, security, peace, and knowledge. Each of us feels a sense of intuitive information periodically, represented by an energetic signature. The author calls this our Intuitive Footprint™. This Intuitive Footprint™ is unique to each of us. We each have essentially our own personal language in intuition.
I'm very interested in the phenomenon of intuition, and in "tuning in" more to our brain and body's natural abilities and processes in a time where we've become increasingly numb and disconnected. I'm sure that certain sensory abilities of earlier humans would be viewed as almost superpowers today. Our current scientific understanding of intuition seems to be that it is based on extremely fast pattern recognition by the brain, and interoception (perceiving internal signals from our body that occur from the processing and recognition of the data - like a gut feeling).
I liked the first couple of chapters of this book. I appreciated that early on, the author said that the idea of universal nonduality has been described from the beginning in Hindu philosophy. She describes a practical daily exercise to do for 24 days to gradually develop your focus, mental clarity, and "openness" of body and mind so that you can get to a state where you'll be more receptive to intuition. I'm also glad that unlike many New Age people, she advises readers to not rely solely on their intuition when it comes to medical issues and to listen to the advice of (good) medical doctors.
Unfortunately, she shows a blatant Christian bias by asserting the truth of certain Christian ideas and figures and including prayers from Christianity that she asks you to do. The issue is not that she shares what she believes is helpful content from Christianity, but she pushes these ideas on the reader as if they are absolute truth. I would've appreciated knowing this book had this bias before I read it.
The book also gets way less scientific and far more mystical, and quite frankly nonsensical. I am a skeptical person but I also am not the type to immediately dismiss an idea for which there is no 100% empirical proof. I was hoping she would go into reasonable or scientific (even if it's conjecture) explanations about these mystical ideas, but she didn't. The organization of the book seemed all over the place, and there was a huge amount of typos. I thought it would just be once or twice but almost every time I turned the page, there was another typo. This makes it hard for me to take the material seriously and makes it feel sloppy.
I can't help but feel like something is missing. This book remained on the surface of things when I was desiring to swim a bit more deeply. It felt more like a beginner's guide to one's intuition than intermediate or advanced, which, on the plus side, is a nod to me and where I am in my journey. Gratitude for that, and a reminder that no matter what, there is always an opportunity to take something good away.
I gave this book four stars as I believe it did accomplish the goal that it was written for. In addition it gave insight to other means of gathering useful info.
