NONLOCAL” INTUITION According to researchers at the HeartMath Institute, numerous studies have validated the existence of a form of intuition that author and medical doctor Deepak Chopra says “allows us to eavesdrop on the mind of the universe.” While our rational minds operate on the basis of our five senses, nonlocal intuition seems to access not just information stored in our subconscious but also a deep storehouse of knowledge and wisdom, perhaps best described as universal intelligence.
How to Use Intuition to Make Better Decisions

The heart says to us: the cosmos, this marvel of wisdom, beauty and goodness, suffers. It is ailing. This great organism which cannot have been born out of sickness, whose birth must have been due to perfect health, i.e. to perfect wisdom, beauty and goodness, the totality of which was its cradle-this great organism is ailing. The continents-and the planets-grow ever-more hard, petrifying: this is the "sclerosis" of the cosmos. And on the surface of its land-masses in the process of petrification, and in the deeps of the seas, and in the air, there reigns the struggle for existence - this is the fever of inflammation in the world.
But sick as it is, the world still retains- everywhere and always-characteristics of its primordial health, and shows the working of forces of its new health, its convalescence. Because alongside the struggle for existence there is cooperation in order to live, and alongside the mineral petrification, there is the succulent and breathing cover of the plant kingdom. The world can therefore be lauded and wept for at the same time.
This is the origin of the problem of the Fall: that the world is worthy of being sung for and wept for at the same time.
Meditations on the Tarot

In the process of becoming a person of gnosis, there are four “enemies” to be overcome. The first enemy is fear. Once fear is overcome, the sojourner must overcome the clarity that dawns, which in effect blinds them; overcoming clarity, they come into power and must overcome its ordeal. Then, in the end, the final enemy is old age, and that, too, must be overcome.
