THE FIRST SENSE.
I may never win this battle of words. Society insists
calling it the Sixth Sense, as if it were something
outside of normal, natural ability.
At the moment of conception, it is the only sense we
have – our connection to THE SOURCE. Babies demonstrate
the Sense – the way they are intuitively comfortable or
uncomfortable being held by different people, for
example.
Very young children seem to live in a world of awe and
wonder, unfettered by the bounds of labels. Many seem
to Sense things unseen and unheard. Their ability to
DREAM and IMAGINE flourishes, until it is gradually and
tragically conditioned out of them.
As we grow, the constant barrage of input from our five
new senses and the labels we are admonished to assign
to everything gradually overwhelm the First Sense until
it is buried beneath many layers of conditioned
experience. When it does occasionally peek out, it is
usually dismissed as irrational, supernatural, or with
less kindly labels.
How does the apple seedling, suspended in utter
darkness, know which way to send its sprout? It
instinctively seeks the sunlight and carbon dioxide it
needs to build a tree.
An apple grows around its core – the core connected to
the SOURCE tree. As it accumulates more moisture and
fruit, the burden becomes too much to hold onto the
connection. The apple falls to the ground, forever
severing its connection with the SOURCE.
Yet deep within the apple remains its core. Surrounding
the core are seeds – within each a pattern, a
blueprint, an IDEA, a POTENTIAL, a DREAM!
We’ve come full-circle to the POTENTIAL for endless
generations of trees.
As we come full-circle in this book, arriving at the
PURPOSE, the GOAL of Hill’s entire philosophy:
Discovering and developing our SIXTH SENSE – or
uncovering and reclaiming our FIRST SENSE.
Those of us so empowered seem to always be at the right
place at the right time, to make the right choices, say
the right words, etc. We have a firm connection to our
SOURCE.
I no longer deny or ignore my INTUITION.
A few weeks ago I enjoyed a 7-day cruise with my
mentors. One late afternoon back onboard after a day at
port, I said to my cabin mate, “Johnie, I have to go up
to the midship hot tub. I don’t know why, I just have
to be there.”
At the hot tub I met a family and we visited and talked
a bit. Every afternoon for the rest of the cruise we
visited and developed a bond. We continue building that
bond because we all reside in the same town.
I still do not know how, but I feel in my gut this
relationship will play some part in my purpose to help
change the world.
I TRUST the Intuition of my mentors as well.
During the cruise Tom Schreiter said to me, “I’ll be in
Philly on the 22nd. If You come, then You can visit
with Your friends there.”
When I arrived home I booked my flight without
hesitation.
When I was in Philadelphia last November, I met and
bonded with 3 folks from a different company than mine
at Tom’s Workshop. The 3 of them posed for a photo with
Tom. We exchanged info and stayed in touch.
When I told them I would be in town on the 22nd, I
invited them to bring their friends from the company to
the Workshop. I was stunned when they all posed for a
photo with Tom afterwards – the group spanned the
entire front of the room, two rows deep!
I know not where this is going, but the best hugs I got
that evening were from folks in that group.
Sorry Anna, but it’s true.

P.S. I’ll bet some folks will have some Ah-Ha
Revelations this week on the Mental Cleanse… But it’s
a safe bet – they do EVERY week.
