I suppose a faith strategy is pretty dependent on well-developed intuition?

I'm one of the control-freaks that wants to change, I have a hard time imagining how I could operate effectively on pure faith. It's kind of like jumping off a cliff and hoping that you grow wings before you hit the ground.

Right now I basically approach everything with control. I guess my big issue is that when I try to run on "intuition" without the force of will-power, I end up sitting around all day like that pitfall you mentioned. I end up sleeping 16 hours a day and staying up all night and not eating for 3 days straight. Lol

When I try to be quiet and listen for instruction from intuition, it seems like usually the strongest impulse is sex, food, sleep and distraction. I suppose this is my conditioned habit patterns talking, or maybe the ego or red chakra or something. I don't know.

The way it is now I only listen to my intuition (or to what seems to me like intuition) when my logic agrees with it. If there is disagreement, I go with logic almost always. Wish I could untangle this..
