Even though I am so into the subject of intuition, sometimes things come to me like whispers on the wind ... I am briefly amazed ... and then I forget all about it ... how about you? The post...
If you’re British, and even if you’re not, you may well remember the late, great astrologer Jonathan Cainer.
I was lucky enough to interview him when I was still a journalist … and one of the things he said to me is coming back to me right now …
He talked about how we are all much more psychically tuned in, more intuitive, than realise.
He talked about how unusual, mystical things happen and we kind of get a little thrill of surprise – oh! I knew that was going to happen! – and then we move on, back into 3D life, thinking more about money and the mundane than about our intuition or psychic gifts.
He exact words were that intuitions and psychic moments “come like whispers on the wind”. He added something like “and then they are gone and we forget about them and just get on with life…”
So true right?
As you might have worked out by now, I am a lover of intuition…
It’s a subject I think a lot about pretty much every day and something I’ve been studying, as much as is possible, on a really personal level, for decades.
But even so, I agree with Jonathan. Even though I am so into this subject, sometimes things come to me like a whisper on the wind … I am briefly amazed … and then I forget all about it …
I was just reminded of this when I saw this quote on The Times website (stay with me – this will eventually make sense!) … A quote by American writer Dorothy Parker (August 22, 1893 – June 7, 1967) who might don’t hear an awful lot about these days, agreed?
It reminded me of one of the stranger moments I’ve had. It was at least 20 years ago.
I had been hanging out with a friend who was really into Dorothy Parker. I wasn’t much of a fiction reader back then (even now I am more of a fiction listener!) so I didn’t know much about Dorothy Parker beyond her famous quote about men not making passes at women who wear glasses.
This is what Wikipedia says about her:
“Dorothy Parker (née Rothschild; August 22, 1893 – June 7, 1967) was an American poet, writer, critic, wit, and satirist based in New York; she was known for her caustic wisecracks, and eye for 20th-century urban foibles.
From a conflicted and unhappy childhood, Parker rose to acclaim, both for her literary works published in magazines, such as The New Yorker, and as a founding member of the Algonquin Round Table. Following the breakup of the circle, Parker traveled to Hollywood to pursue screenwriting. Her successes there, including two Academy Award nominations, were curtailed when her involvement in left-wing politics resulted in her being placed on the Hollywood blacklist.
Dismissive of her own talents, she deplored her reputation as a “wisecracker”. Nevertheless, both her literary output and reputation for sharp wit have endured. Some of her works have been set to music.”
So the weird thing that happened was this…
It was (I happen to remember) January 1st though I can’t quite remember the year – say about 2003. I had been talking to and listening to this friend talking quite a lot about Dorothy Parker for a few months by this stage.
I didn’t really understand the intense interest she had in DP.
Then for some reason – and I’m sorry but I can’t remember where this idea came from – it came like a whisper on the wind” … for some reason I got it in my head that Dorothy Parker was one of my guides. I can’t remember if my DP-obsessed friend suggested it to me or it came into my head unbidden … but I felt it.
I also felt it was quite ridiculous to think such a thing!
I was somewhat vaguely mulling over this idea, that Dorothy Parker is one of my guides, on that January 1st … I was in a cafe in Sydney, with a copy of the Daily Telegraph newspaper, looking at the front page.
And I said to myself “OK, if there is a mention if Dorothy Parker in his newspaper, then I will accept she is one of my guides…”
As I said, you don’t hear a lot about Dorothy Parker these days, do you? So there was no reason to think she would be in a copy of the Daily Telegraph …
I flicked through the pages and I swear to you, around the middle section, there was a big write up about I forget what now … and a photo and text about …yes, Dorothy Parker.
Still doesn’t make sense to me…
I was very surprised, a bit confused and actually also slightly blase. I noted the ‘co-incidence’, felt a little amazed and then got on with my day…
But it’s an excellent example of how these uncanny moments happen to us – info comes to us like “whispers on the wind” and “then they are gone and we forget about them and just get on with life…”
I don’t know about you, but in 2024, I am going to looking more deeply into my intuition.
I might even make intuition my word of the year.
I will investigate pre-cognition and signs. I’ll delve into how we know more than we think we do.
What about you?
Make 2024 more mystical…
Did you know that in astrology, the Moon governs intuition?
So how intuitive are you?
Do you work with your intuition or does it come to you like a “whisper on the wind” and “then is gone and you forget all about it and just get on with life…”?
Do you want to increase your intuition (inner tuition) in 2024?
Just something to think about as we move through the liminal week between Christmas and New Year…
And dare I say that if you do want to work more with your intuition in 2024, you might want to work with my Moonology Diary 2024 which will help you work with the Moon which in turn will help you to listen to those whispers on the wind…
