    As an autistic person, I'm still trying to work out what a "gut feeling" is and if I have it. People always refer to it in terms of making big life decisions. 31 years and I still don't know what it means…

    My intuition is telling me that there's more to a situation than I'm able to understand because it's far away. Because I don't have info, I need to stop worrying and take a step back. I don't need to be a loony toon. I need to trust that it will work itself out in the best outcome possible. TY for the reminder to pay more attention to my gut. It leads me in the right way almost every time.👍

    Yup ! I was wondering why these men were so desperate and continued to come around trying to get me! I had this clown try several times!!!!! I think he thought he was irresistible but he’s just full of himself! I ran away from him and I think that hurt his feelings! So he started plotting…. Hopefully GOD is punishing him now! Don’t mess with God anointed one ! It’s clear to me now I was brought here for a reason! Not one I would have chosen in a million life times! However, it is what it is! GOD is going to get you people that took advantage of his anointed one! Yes that’s me! When you have a feeling you shouldn’t do something trust it ! If you have an overwhelming feeling you should do something do it!

    If theres no present emergency or a reason to make a haste decision… Dont… But if your gut is telling you something is wrong…. Listen to it. It has saved my life from being in situations where i couldve been seriously injured, in trouble or dead.

    Intuitiveness is better than programmed thought process. In school answers have to have an explanation of how they came to that conclusion to be validated. Intuition allows someone to find knowledge naturally in ones self and a persons perspective would be very broad using intuition to perceive the world instead of learned knowledge alone. The universe is speaking to and through us all.
