Sal's Musings

I’ve wanted to write about this for a long time and finally felt prompted after something I read today in the writings of someone who’s views on life I love and respect very much.   They touched on the idea of intuition but referred to it as “emotional intuition” and implied that logic should come first and intuition should be ignored.   They also “poo pooed” individuals for doing things because it “felt right”.    Another thing that has had me wanting to write about intuition is, many years ago I was a student of “shamanism” and the teacher encouraged us to use our intuition BUT added that our intuition isn’t always right?!?   Then what is the point of following it if it has a habit of steering us wrong?    First of all I want to say that “emotional intuition” is a dichotomy – the two words contradict each other (like trying to say someone is a violet pacifist)   and illustrate the individual’s complete lack of awareness and understanding of what intuition is.   Fact is if you a

(Me at Sacsayhuaman Peru) So who am I?   I don’t like labels but I am an introvert and very inclined have empathetic traits.   Both have been made my life rather miserable but that is because I didn’t understand them or how to work with them.   Still an ongoing process.

I’m no stranger to shit.   Been through a lot of it in my life not the least of which was having an angry, alcoholic father.    But all my shit has help push me to look for answers.   I’ve been down many roads looking – read a gazi

Hi!  My name is Sal and for a lot of years now I have had people tell me I should write a book.  Easier said than done.  It IS something I have wanted to do since I was a kid but we all know those dreams that never see the light of day right?  But someone was after me again recently and it hit something this time.  Not necessarily the idea of writing an actual book (but who knows in the future :-)) but I DO love to write.  I journal constantly and love to do it.  And there is an awful lot bouncing around in this noggin' of mine LOL!  So I thought blogging might be a good "compromise". Last night I was listening to the radio and someone mentioned about www (as in web addresses) stood for World Wide Web.  Well "Duh!", but it actually took me by surprise.  Not that I was surprised that is what it stood for but the fact I didn't "know".  And it wasn't that I didn't know.  It was just something I took so for granted that I had never
