Intuition takes the lead in knowing what’s what and what’s called for in each situation as it arises, but. Ambition and desire trump–the way Trump trumps the good everywhere he goes–balance, harmony and the flow of life and being in the unfolding of life as it could be, leaving us with the ruins of what might have been with wanting/striving/having to have out of the way. And so, the ancients could advise, “Don’t push the river!”, “Let Be What Is!”, “Trust the seed to know what it is doing without pulling up the sprout to check on its progress!” But no. We have to have what we want when, where and how we want it no matter what. Adam and Eve are eternal models of what knowing what we are doing and taking charge of our future can lead to when there is no rush and no reason to have it all NOW! beyond the press of wanting, wanting, wanting…
The way of Psyche/Tao is to let nature take its course and see where it goes while we wait to know what is called for when, where and how, trusting intuition not indulgence and knowing the difference between the two.
