Jul 29, 2025

Overview

The speaker explains the difference between instinct, impulse, and intuition, emphasizing how true intuition can guide individuals toward greater wealth, fulfillment, and success. They present a framework for identifying and activating intuition, guiding listeners on how to rise above survival-based decisions and access inspired ideas.

Instinct, Impulse, and Intuition Framework

  • Instinct and impulse are survival mechanisms driven by past experiences and the subconscious mind.
  • Instinct is associated with fear and defense (predator avoidance); impulse is linked to pleasure-seeking (prey pursuit).
  • Many mistake instinct or impulse for intuition, leading to reactionary or misguided decisions.
  • Intuition, the "third eye," serves as a balancing vector between instinct and impulse, providing inspired, value-based ideas.

The Role of Subconscious Charges

  • Subconscious "charges" stem from past perceived negative (instinct) or positive (impulse) experiences.
  • These charges distort current perceptions, causing people to misinterpret memories as intuitive guidance.
  • Canceling out these charges allows clearer perception and genuine intuitive insight.

Activating and Using Intuition

  • Intuition is accessed by reaching a state of gratitude, which involves recognizing both positives in negatives and negatives in positives from past experiences.
  • Practical gratitude exercises are needed to neutralize emotional "charges" and become more enlightened.
  • Enlightenment leads to a stronger inner voice, foresight, and value-based inspiration.

Practical Implications for Success and Wealth

  • True intuition brings actionable, inspired ideas that align with one’s highest values and purpose.
  • Successful individuals are inwardly driven by intuition, while less successful people are outwardly influenced by societal expectations or fears.
  • To increase wealth, clear subconscious charges to hear and act on inspired ideas from intuition, not from survival instincts or fantasies.

Intuition, Relationships, and Well-being

  • Intuition in relationships often relates to deeply held values (e.g., parental intuition).
  • Emotional charges can prevent clear perception of others, affecting relationship choices and dynamics.
  • Mental health concerns, such as bipolar disorder, can be linked to extreme swings between instinct and impulse due to unresolved subconscious charges.

Recommendations / Advice

  • Regularly examine your decisions to determine if they stem from instinct, impulse, or intuition.
  • Practice gratitude exercises focused on neutralizing emotional charges from past experiences.
  • Aim to become inwardly driven by fostering your intuitive voice, especially when making significant life or financial decisions.
