Suddenly I realise that intuition is the key factor in understanding how the human mind and society evolved. Without intuition humans would never have taken the proper steps in the first place to achieve the state of evolution is has.
Through intuition the imaginative elaboration of physical sciences can be applied to known data, if you apply what resources a n intuitive mind holds, combined with a previously worldly taught regiment of reason and logic, you are bound to have good outcomes.
This is why philosophers and scientists who achieve these states of consciousness often are also inventors, with heavy backed up methodological theory and observation.
You start to notice the effects of evolution everywhere in nature, and the rational effect evolution has on our minds and consciences....
I think I'm getting more philosophical in outlook.

Open to Changes
"Change is hard because people overestimate the value of what they have - and underestimate the value of what they may gain by giving that up."
I read this statement the other day and it started the wheels turning in my head. How many of us are afraid of change? How many of us actually fight against change? It doesn't have to be life-altering changes such as divorce or job change, but it can be simple changes such as giving up a bad habit. For so many of us, even if we know the change will be better for us, will improve our lives, or will benefit our health - we still fight against it.
I have been afraid of change for most of my life. At times, the very idea of change paralyzed me. Even when I knew the change would give me greater happiness and would improve my overall quality of life, I was still frightened of the actual process of change. I held onto people, places, things, or habits that I knew were not good for me.
I realized that by holding onto those things I was trying to create a false sense of safety and security for myself. The problem with that - change is going to come no matter how hard we fight against it. Life keeps happening. Partners will leave us, people die, pets run away; jobs aren't as secure as they once were. This was the realization that I finally allowed myself to see which helped me to be more willing to embrace change.
Am I completely comfortable with change? No.
There are still things that I fret about. The difference is that I am now willing to accept changes. I am willing to cause changes in my life.

Peace in my mind
Generally, i am a rather relaxed person. I do not like crowded place nor noisy place. I like to be in solitude with my family or good buddies have a chat over some sports programs.
Lately, I've been experiencing this amazing feeling of total calmness, like nothing in the world matters except what's going on right here, right now.
I'm just going at my own pace, doing whatever I want to do, and it's incredible. No stress, no anything. Like tomorrow, I'm going to go out into the woods for a few hours and write whatever comes to mind. No deadlines, no rigid schedules, just doing what I enjoy.
I may even start writing books on effective relaxation techniques and living a life of complete relaxation. Just curious on how much other people value this. I'm into it so much I'm going to buy a hammock in the near future. Just something to use all the time. I guess I was kind of inspired by all the lazy way to success stories and passionate people who say that if you are doing what you love, it's not work. But I feel like I must be on my spiritual path now because nothing seems difficult to me, it just comes to me. "In an easy and relaxed manner."
Peace.
Thanks Maria Duval.
