Five senses: VAKOG, Words to Use and your Unerring Inuition

Today intution was pretty good. I just asked what the cause of the sickness was. As we know, thoughts can make emotions, and emotions can make your body healthy or sick. So, What is the thought? Not all people sense the world the same.

  • Visual
  • Auditory
  • Kinesthetic
  • Olfactory
  • Gustatory

For me, my family helped me be more auditory, it helped me grow a stronger intution. Before that though, I was very visual. In the beginning I was Kinesthetic.

So when I ask my intuition, I prefer my answer in feeling form.

Everyone is different, it’s best to know how you sense things best.

Tips about how to use the Intution

In her writings, specifically in The Game of Life and How to Play It and The Secret Door to Success, Florence Scovel Shinn emphasizes using intuition to guide actions, often referring to it as a “hunch” or a “lead”. 

Here are the key quotes and variations regarding a “definite lead” for intuition:

  • The Main Quote: “Infinite Spirit, give me a definite lead, reveal to me my perfect self-expression, show me which talent I am to make use of now”.
  • The Command for Guidance: “Infinite spirit, reveal to me the way, let me know if there is anything for me to do. I speak the word and then do not do anything until I get a definite lead“.
  • The Desire for Clarity: “Infinite Intelligence, give me a definite lead, let me know just what to do!”.
  • Following Intuition: Shinn advises, “I never argue with a hunch. I never do today what intuition says to do tomorrow”. TruthUnity.netTruthUnity.net +4

Contextual Usage

  • Purpose: Shinn advises using this affirmation when one is unsure of which path to take or talent to use.
  • Action: She teaches that after speaking an affirmation, one must wait for this intuitive “lead” before acting, rather than forcing a situation.
  • Definition: She defines intuition as “in-tuition” or “taught from within,” calling it man’s “unerring guide”. 

Important to creating connections with others:
