Intuition and Manifestation
Some of you have asked me, “Ezra what is the difference between manifestation and intuition? When I find myself feeling something wrong, am I making it worse through the Law of Attraction?”
My answer: No, your intuition doesn’t play “that” part in manifesting, but it does play a major role. It acts as your divine guide in the manifestation process. I will explain thoroughly the role intuition plays in the manifestation process for you. After this you will understand the difference very clearly.
Intuition is simply being able to trust your feelings. It is a higher intelligence that has a broader view of things. It is often referred to in religious text as God, guardian angels, spirit guides, or whatever else one would like to call it. It’s an unexplainable feeling (or explainable, if you’ve mastered it) a person gets when “in” a situation. The keywords I just said are “in a situation.” Oftentimes people think their intuition is going off when they are thinking about a situation, when in all reality they are doubting/worrying. When a person’s intuition goes off it will be going off IN THE MOMENT while the situation is taking place. Something greater than that person will either gently or forcefully say “do this and you will be OK.” If that person listens, he usually finds himself feeling really good. (There will be no feelings of doubt if the person listened to the hunch/feeling). Even before action is taken, it should actually feel good just to ponder what the feeling/hunch is telling you to do. That’s how you know it’s in your best interest. Your body should respond positively to the thought of it. After acting upon it you should feel even better!
Intuition Explained
Rule of thumb — intuition will always GUIDE you! It does not cause you to worry in any way. When this guidance comes in, all worry drops because the guidance will take care of you step by step. Any thoughts in your head that cause any negative emotion is not your intuition. Never has been and never will be. That is simply a thought form that is causing you to worry, and it grows stronger the more you worry. If your intuition comes in to warn you about something, it will also be quickly followed up with “I know what to do next” sort of feeling. ALWAYS. Now, if you happen to ignore it, then you WILL start to feel anxiety because you are headed in a bad direction. As you travel further into the wrong direction, the feeling will get worse until you find yourself in a situation you could have avoided had you just trusted your intuition in the first place!. Remember guys, your intuition isn’t going to always make logical sense. (All other animals in the wild follow their intuition without question). If however you’ve been conditioned not to listen to your feelings then you may find it difficult at first as you learn to depend on them. With time you’ll get better, the more you practice listening.
Intuition is way more powerful than you might think! Your intuition is part of your subconscious and science has proven that the subconscious mind can take in more than 2 times the byte rate of the conscious mind. This means that its far more aware of what is going on around it than its conscious mind counterpart. So when it starts to go off I highly recommended listening to it.
Intuition plays a HUGE part in the law of attraction, but not in the way most people think. Intuition is simply the guidance system to what the person is placing their focus on. Whatever the person has on their top priority list intuition will help guide them to it.
Intuition’s role in Law of Attraction
Ok, so I’ve come to find that intuition can be subtle, however when a manifestation is about to take place it starts to go off big time! This is because key events are about to take place, and your undivided attention is necessary to either avoid something you don’t like, or receive something you do like (or even both). Intuition (aka God, spirit guides, angels) knows exactly what it is you want. Like I said before, if you listen to what its telling you, it should feel really good. If you aren’t used to doing what feels good, it will take some time to trust yourself. Also, most people get so overwhelmed with joy that they start to over think and they botch up their manifestation. All it requires from you is to gently relax and then just follow what feels right and makes sense to you. If you can do that, you’ll be surprised how quickly you can manifest something!
A lot of people mistake worry for intuition. When a person is worried they are either thinking about something that HAS happened or something that WILL/MIGHT happen. Worry is an emotion that can only exist in the past or future. It can’t survive in the present moment. Intuition is active only when the situation is taking place. Often it shows up to either prevent or make something take place. It will also make you aware of something if you’ve been pondering a subject. In that case it will simply leave you with a knowing. The knowing might upset you, but after that point it simply turned in to worry because you decided to dwell on it instead of taking some sort of positive action to change it. An example of this would be having a knowing you have been cheated on. Most people just worry about it and let it fester once a hunch like this comes up. If they just went ahead and confronted it, the festering would stop and they would be a lot better off.
Worrying & Intuition
We are always manifesting. There is no way to turn the Law of Attraction off. It is ALWAYS working because we are always thinking. ( Until you can learn to reach a place of silence, but even then you are still moving. Just not as fast. ) If you want to take your intuition very seriously then always listen to how you feel. If you think a negative thought it will feel bad. If you think a positive thought it will feel good. One thought might not feel the same way to another person because we are all different. This is why no one can tell you how you should think. NO ONE. Not even a parent, because only you think the way you think and feel the way you feel. With this being said we are always headed towards something, and checking how you feel during the day will let you know where your headed. If your feeling down then you know you aren’t headed in a good direction. I don’t care what it is your doing. If your feeling down while doing it, you will only be creating more of that emotion for yourself at a later time. If your feeling good while your doing whatever it is your doing than you will create more of that for yourself at a later time. Your intuition is like a compass and all you have to do is listen to it. It is the perfect guide for your life and all you have to do is listen.
Your Always Moving
Don’t over think the Law of Attraction process and intuition to much. Really all of this is as simple as you doing what makes sense and feels right to YOU at ALL times to the best of your ability. If you were just coming into the world that would be some of the best advice I could ever give you. No book or guru can help you out better than that. Nothing is ever set into stone. Everything is always changing. You are always changing. You won’t be the same tomorrow or a year from now. The things that were applied before won’t work. However, if you can stick to trusting what makes sense and feels good in the moment you will always keep a positive momentum going. Best of luck!

Ezra,
thanks so much for answering my questions. I know I wrote more than 3 , but I’m happy you answered them all. But you got was I was asking and needed to know.
After I wrote to you, I took my kids to Niagara Falls for a couple of days. I truly wanted to be close to Mother Nature and the Falls are definately majestic and hypnotyzing to me. I’m watching Oprah and Echart Tolle and he keeps saying ‘go to nature and be still” (paraphrased) and I think that that is such a good and true statement. Not that you can be still around Niagara Falls! or peaceful!!! lol . But I kept telling my kids it was Gods gift to the world and saying how beautiful it was . And I just wanted to “feel” it. And I did. It was great.
I was so excited to see my email on your website. Thanks so much. It was the ‘kick in the ass’ I needed .
