If we look at the mind, at a conscious level, there are thoughts and perceptions which are accumulated in our mind. But at the unconscious level there are whole ranges of emotions and experiences called engraved memories. Engraved memories interferes with the decision making process. Whether we believe it or not or accept it or not, there is something called intuition. We say intuition is a gift, because when we practice it we will know to use it when required.

If your unconscious is loaded with engraved memories, if your unconscious is restless you will be at the instinct level like animals. The next level is intellect level, you are conscious but you don't have enough enthusiasm. The next level is intuition. Intuition is something which happens to you beyond your intellect, spontaneous intelligence. Suddenly you know that this is the right thing to do as your heart believes in it very

Story

There was once a great war between two countries. The war had been going on for sometime and the soldiers were starting to feel tired of the long battle.

On a hot afternoon, a man in civilian clothes was riding past a small group of tired soldiers digging a huge pit. The group leader was shouting orders and threatening punishment if the work was not completed within the hours. The man riding the horse stopped and asked the leader. Man riding the horse: Sir why are you only shouting Order? Why can't you help them yourself?

Group leader: What do you mean? I am the leader. The men do as I tell them. If you feel so strongly about helping them, you are welcome to do by yourself. Man riding the horse got down from his horse and started walking up to the soldiers at work. The man took up the tools and started helping the soldiers and worked with them till the job was finished. Before leaving the man congratulated the soldiers for their work. He approached the group leader and said.

Man riding horse: Next time your status prevents you from supporting your people, you should inform your higher authorities and I will provide a more permanent solution. The group leader was now completely surprised. Only now he looked closely at the man-and realized that the man was the army general. Leader must have honesty and responsibility caring genuinely about people.
