In this age of radical change and unprecedented encounters, my answer is "No"- much like you wouldn't willingly agree to navigate a treacherous terrain blindfolded.
Excellent, excellent, excellent. You write, "You would be utterly surprised how many alternative and totally out-of-the-box methods are used by the “wealthy and mighty” while the official rhetoric for the masses remains focused on the so-called scientifically proven methods."
Very true, indeed! This is where the money, and genius, lie. And that can be used by anyone, even if the interests aren't harmonious for all concerned!
Think back to "Think and Grow Rich" (1937) and "How to Win Friends and Influence People" (1936). Napolean Hill and Dale Carnegie were teaching the rich to grow richer and the powerful to grow more powerful. I also benefited from these books when I was in sales and beginning entrepreneurship. But these intuitive techniques are not only available to heart-centered individuals, that's for sure.
Thank you, Erin! It's been going for years and it has accelerated in more recent times. I know for sure that corporations have been experimenting with what we can call spiritual practices for ever and especially since the 80s. Systemic Constellations have been part of the practices of top leaders for minimum 20 years. Wealty individuals have gurus and intuitive advisors.... At the same time, traditional textbooks continue to be more focused on what we call quantative decision making and no traditional education teaches us about any aspects of our intuition. A Google search however brings immediately sentences like "pseudoscientific", "questionable", etc. It's time to wake up t our Human Advantages!
And, that real Advantage includes heart-soul centeredness! I think a lot of biz and execs use these techniques still w the sneaky greed motivation. The underlying fixation remains, just w a sexy spiritual veneer. But thought leaders like yourself in my opinion are helping to truly get to the root of the matter, which can alleviate real suffering individually and collectively.
Indeed! As far as those using it, I think there are many indeed who use these techniques with alterior motives. Some get transformed along the way- others, contribute to the watering down of the concepts.
As an artist and a wanderer I have always relied upon my intuition. It was so natural that I was not aware that I functioned this way. As I got older and began to experience "the workplace" I began to encounter structures that formalized decision-making and I noticed that they were mechanistic, less economical and lacking in elegance. What was more striking to me was how little people trusted themselves or their own knowing. Many, if not all of the great inventions, were born of intuitive inquiry and spontaneity. Having a 'hunch' or a real curiosity to understand something is an aspect of our intuition. The intrepid and often ridiculed biochemist from Cambridge university, Rupert Sheldrake, has formally studied intuitive states in his research on what he calls Morphogenic Resonance Theory. Over time, Sheldrake has been vindicated and continues to provide valuable insight into the intuitive and 'self organized' aspects of biological systems. His research reveals uncanny abilities on the individual and collective levels of both human and animal behavior. Many anthropologists, biologists and physicists observe intuitive behaviors in advanced systems. Why are we not encouraging this innate gift in more formal areas of modern life?
One drawback though, is that I cannot always explain my reasoning in a methodical manner and this makes some people skeptical and, in some cases, they may feel I am being careless or making assumptions when this is inaccurate. Using your intuition is different from making assumptions but those who do not trust their own inner voice do not see this distinction easily. I hope this topic receives more validation and appreciation. Thank you, Natalia, for getting this ball rolling.
Thank you, Mia! I completely share your experiences, despite that I was in a more traditional business environment. The reality is that greatness in any area requires from us to be more of an artist and intuition and creativity are definitely a core part of that. I also share your experience with what you call a drawback. I believe that the more we learn to tune into intuition, the easier it will also become to find ways to differentiate between biases, assumptions, the voice of our ego, etc. and our intuition.
I am currently doing a deep dive into intuition! It is the wave of the future for the humans who do not believe it exist. For those who utilize it know they are ahead in this game of life. With tsunami of A.I being let into the human space we will see intuition suffer because individuals will be so enamored by this A.I packaging. This A.I will take individuals further away from intuition. On another level I say that is the game plan by the Digerati to get humanity away from there source of clarity and discernment
Thank you, AK for your comment! It's so great to connect with you and to know that there are more people who invest in this. And I agree that the deeper we go into the 21st century, the more important this becomes. What are some practices you would recommend?
Well that is a big question. Natalia I am publishing a narrative called Humanistry later this month of May. It is all about finding our way back to being human and embracing what that is. I sat in a room from April 21-22 to do most of the writing and observation. I spoke to a yogi friend of mine to take a dive into the spiritual element of human and the importance that is lost by many now especially with the cult of technology being the way of the road. But answer I would hope people realize that imperfection, mistakes, errors and not being a groupie of control is the beauty of being human. Hope that helps.
Agreed! Love the term Digerati... and perhaps getting cut-off from this innate gift will result in a renewed appreciation for it's power and facilitate a major change in focus for the leaders of industry.
The article i meant was my book Humanistry. Apologies for the misinterpretation.

Sounds great! I am looking forward to your article! It sounds fantatic!

All of what is taking place is to hinder people from investigating the one thing you can know without doubt..... yourself. Thanks Katherine
So true...
