Inner Knowing and Acquired Knowledge

A Pathway Through the Woods

Recently I wrote an article featured on Brain Hackers. It’s a website dedicated to the mastery of “memory, focus, emotions, and more to unleash the genius within.”

As you know, my passion is uncovering inner wisdom through Dreamwork. Whatever way we understand this wisdom within us is a beautiful thing. We may name it inner wisdom or defining strength or our unique genius. It’s all the same. What is true for everyone is that our particular gift of wisdom is our lighthouse, our guidepost, and our inner GPS.

In my article I talk about an episode of my life when my specific genius was making itself known. It took me years to give my inner wisdom a name. First, I needed to understand the thread weaving its way through my story. But one thing was clear. What I needed to uncover about myself was not learned in a classroom.

Here is an excerpt of my article

“I know that you have a story to tell. Do you remember getting advice to “use your head” when “thinking” through a problem. “Keep your head in the game” and get good grades in school. These were criteria for having the advantage.

We were taught that being smarter was better. Don’t get me wrong. I love learning; I always had a book in my hand. That said, it took me a long time to unlearn believing that knowledge only came from those books. 

I didn’t recognize until much later in life that there is knowledge and there is knowing. Experiencing a sense of knowing came from within. It wasn’t the same as information I received from the outside: family, society, or school. Yet, I had no idea how to read my “book” of inner knowing. This awareness I needed to discover over time.

It's understandable that in our complicated, busy, and stressed-out world we use our intellect first. It’s the way we were taught. We “think” that we need to keep our head down, focus, and get the job done.

Yet, at the same time our emotional intelligence, our gut intuitive sensations, our energetic subtle body, as well as the flow of those elusive heart-centered feelings are operating in the background. All of your centers are actively trying to communicate.”
