Why do we need to relearn not to touch the stove when it's hot? To look both ways before crossing the street? That throwing a fit is not the only way to get what we want? Compared to "wild" animals who can walk hours after birth, we're pretty stupid as babies. Why is that? Surely, our superior intellect should give us an edge?
This idea might seem foreign to some, but intellect ("the faculty of reasoning and understanding objectively") is not the highest form of intelligence.
Innate, the body's intelligence, is connected to the higher self, to the pineal gland, to the experiences of many lives. Intuition is the bridge between our intellect and our innate.
We do not recognize this kind of knowledge, and we do not nurture it in our children. We teach them what to fear.
Fear blocks intuition. Worry blocks intuition. Anxiety blocks intuition.
Animals don't have these things, and that is why they are connected to their innate. They do not need to relearn survival because their innate guides their instincts.
We revere intellect over instinct, at the cost of balance. We have too many things to think about, to analyze, to prepare against, to worry about. We want to intellectualize everything, including ourselves.
Innate is not intellectual. Putting it in a box only traps it.
