About intuition ...

Learning intuition is best done by learning one or more of the languages or the right brain. Among these languages are glyphs. This is a glyph that symbolizes the whole philosophy of Taoism, the Tao or "yin/yang" glyph.



the meaning of the glyph is, "All things are always changing to their opposites."
This is obvious to someone who contemplates nature long enough. It is the “nature of things” to go through cycles of changes such as young to old and green to brown. Leafy to barren is another one or blazing fire to charcoal. But also, empty wants to become full and full wants to become empty. Happy will become sad and sad will become happy. Life will end in death and death will end in rebirth. The snake chases its tail.

Wherever you are in life, you are someone in a cycle, best symbolized by a circle rather than a straight line. Either you are at the beginning, in the middle, near the end or somewhere inbetween. It is important to get of sense of where you are in the cycle so that you can live your life with wisdom. Should I change jobs? It depends on where you are in that cycle, a rather small one in most cases.
This can be sensed and learned. The I Ching is especially good for teaching about cycles. It is entirely based on nature metaphors.
Good intuition is a gift of the right brain, the blessing of Jupiter and something that makes us lucky in life. Am I lucky because I go out doors and find a peach on the tree if it is summer? No.
And yes....
To the person who does not know that peaches grow on peach trees in the summer, I am unbelievably lucky. What timing you have!! What a miracle!! How lucky you are!! This is also a miracle to the person who does not know that peaches are what grow on peach trees or even that I have planted and cultivated a peach tree and so it has grown.
