Dualistic Unity Raw Episode 205 (August 1st, 2024) | The Intuition Paradox

Dualistic Unity

Dive into the intricacies of intuition versus logic, where we explore the paradoxical dance between gut instinct and rational thought. This episode challenges the common notion that intuition is an infallible guide, revealing how what feels right isn't always aligned with our deeper insights. We discuss how the gut reaction, often perceived as a form of truth, can sometimes lead us astray, counterintuitively steering us away from the path we thought we were meant to follow. Join us as we unravel the subtle differences between instinctual responses and the quiet wisdom of true intuition, encouraging you to trust in the process of not knowing. This episode is a must-listen for those who are navigating the complexities of self-trust and decision-making in a world where certainty is an illusion.
