Your Heart’s Desire is Its Own Proof: Reject the Cult of Certainty
--
Why you can’t think your way through an emotional question.
One of the most common questions people ask me when we are deep into the questions about their life’s path is, “But how will I know, like truly know?”
In some ways it is an excellent question. Many of us were raised and live in a cognitively-focused culture, the brain privileged above all else. Prove it to me, baby. Build the case. Show me the evidence.
The tricky part is as humans we have access to so much more wisdom through additional channels: emotional wisdom, physical wisdom, and energetic wisdom. We have simply been taught that these sources of wisdom are lesser, not to be trusted. Have you ever considered why that is?

The wisdom sourced from our hearts, bodies, and intuition is both powerful and mysterious. You can’t corral it. You can’t claim dominion over it. You can’t shape it into nice, neat little provable boxes. Emotional, somatic, and intuitive wisdom are each innate, primal, and irrepressible. We all have the capacity to tap into emotional, somatic, and intuitive wisdom. Further, often it can counter the wisdom of our brains or the cultural messaging. It leaves us thinking: What then?
Emotional, somatic, and intuitive wisdom are each innate, primal, and irrepressible.
These types of wisdom are intrinsic and essential features of the human experience. And when you are attempting to control groups of people, even for their “own good” through cognitive “truths” you can expect that hearts, bodies, and intuition may guide them in divergent and countless directions. Every human is their own universe.

It makes sense then that structures based in power and control, such as governments, structured religions, and corporations create their own brand of the “truth.” Do it this way and you can…
