Tuition And Intuition
Let's take a quick look at this heavily used word and go to the etymology and dictionary references for a moment.
tu·i·tion
t(y)o͞oˈiSH(ə)n/
noun
1. a sum of money charged for teaching or instruction by a school, college, or university.
synonyms: fees, charges, bill
2. teaching or instruction, especially of individuals or small groups.
synonyms: instruction, teaching, coaching, tutoring, tutelage, lessons, education, schooling.
So basically, in the #1 definition, we can say that "tuition" is a sum of money paid to receive some sort of teaching or instruction. However, in the #2 definition, we can see it is the teaching or instruction that is primary ... without a particular fee.
Now, let's try something in-teresting. Let's have a look at the word "in-tuition."
in·tu·i·tion
ˌint(y)o͞oˈiSH(ə)n/
noun
1. the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning.
"we shall allow our intuition to guide us"
- synonyms: instinct, intuitiveness;
2. a thing that one knows or considers likely from instinctive feeling rather than conscious reasoning.
plural noun: intuitions
"your insights and intuitions are powerful."
- synonyms: hunch (gut feeling), feeling (in one's bones), inkling, (sneaking) suspicion, idea, sense, notion.
So, in the #1 definition, we can say that "intuition" is an ability to inherently understand something from within. In the #2 definition, it is an instinctive feeling, or knowingness ... without any conscious reasoning needed. You just know. So ... HOW do we just know? From where does this knowingness emanate?
Both definitions, by the omission of conscious reasoning, indicate that there is something else at play. Another point of view. Something else perceiving. Some "other" force guiding from within. That still small voice that always knows, but that we most of the time have drowned out by our screaming ego. It is our consciousness ... our own personal Christ. Our Saviour helping us to make the right choice in our thinking and actions.
This is our Higher-Self, Guardian Angel, Higher-Consciousness, or God/Source ... whatever you prefer ... sending us signals broadcasting through the universe directly to within us for guidance and instruction. This is Earth School my friends. We are here to learn, and we have a teacher who already knows what we forgot. We just have to re-member the Truth, and by doing so ... eliminate the illusions and lies that have held back our progress and our ascension.
We are ALL students. We are all subject to tuition, and intuition. All we need to do is wake from our slumber, turn on the light of consciousness, and climb Jacob's Ladder straight into the Kingdom of love, peace, and joy. This ... is "Heaven On Earth/Matter." Spirit (Father), rejoined with matter (Mother). When the two become one ... the son of God is birthed. You are I are the begotten sons and daughters of the God/Source of the universe.
This was the message of Jesus, and every other sage, shaman, ancient pagan priest, hierophant, mystic, and avatar. We are all brothers and sisters ... one family of MAN, originating from the Source/God of all that is. You are I are oneness with all that can be found in the vastness of the seen and unseen elements of the universe. You are IMPORTANT, you are SPECIAL, you are LOVED, and you are a child of God. Don't let anyone tell you any different. Listen to the Great Teacher of Righteousness within you. The tuition has already been paid. Just show up for class every day.
Just a thought ...
