Intention Manifestation v Intuition

[LauraC]

How do you know why things happen?
ie. did you make it happen by simply thinking about it or was it your intuition that just knew?

We had an experience of walking through a car park on the way to take the elevator. My husband suddenly thought to speak about something he had read on the internet months earlier about a child runing ahead of his parents and into the open doors of an elevator on his own. The doors then shut and the child was taken up on his own to goodness knows which floor - scary stuff!
We were still speaking about this story as we walked the next 10/20 metres to our own elevator that day when our 3 year old - right in front of our eyes, further ahead - hops into the open elevator and the doors start shutting !
My husband grabbed the doors just in time *phew* BUT...... how weird! To have occurred immediately after speaking of that story.

I then told my husband he must have made it happen by putting the thought there, but his explanation was that it could have been his intuition ???????

Do you think your three year old might have been listening to your conversation?

It is interesting, isn't it? Important to listen to our intuition, I think.

Maybe that conversation actually kept you closer to your 3 year old, so that when he ran in the elevator you were close enough to catch it....

all best and safety.

PS when my daughter was toddler age, I made a rule that at any time if I even thought of where she might be in the house (e.g., at night after we'd turned in or other times when I generally thought I knew where she was, etc.), then I would get up and go check her. I did this and only a couple times caught her into something that could have been dangerous, nothing really serious. But this gave me a great feeling of security. I never had to think through, is she OK, should I check on her? Decision already made, if I thought of it, that's where I'd go. Made me feel good as a mom.

I can not quite define why, but I can convey “how” in terms of the way I relate within my own reality of myself and the world.
I may be wrong, but I believe it more likely a case of the child being receptive to your discussion. (Not from a human language perspective but from a thought/ vibrational perspective of that moment) I have come to realize that little children can be far more receptive to thought & vibration than us adults might realize. They tune into mind. Not mind as is commonly thought of by an adult mind, but from an unlimited, undivided mind that pervades the universe. They have not developed blinkers and filters like an adult may have.

The following is a story of an experience i had with the neighbor's child who was only 18 months old at the time; Our next door neighbor has quite often visited with her young child. One time I was in meditation and in a kind of expanded awareness of being. So i decided to share this "space" by thinking of the neighbor’s child. (A few other people as well) The next day they came over and her mum told me her daughter kept asking for me, and she finally gave in to the request. She came in, and visited the pet bird. There was nothing wrong with the bird, but it was like it was never really alive before this, and now it came to life. (I can be quite sensitive to these sorts of things at times, especially around times of frequent meditation) Normally this girl would have ants in her pants (never sit still) and wonder about the place wanting to learn about everything in the physical domain. This was the first time she was ants free. She sat on the garden step for 10 to 20 seconds. Then she patted on the step while looking at me to indicate for me to sit down. As soon as I sat down she got up. I took it as play at the time so I got up. She went to another set of steps near the house and sat in a meditative state. Looking back at this, I can say I did not realise this fully at the time, but it would be more truthful to say I listened more to the rational mind than what I had a sense of happening here. She moved on and did the sitting down thing a few more times in the house. I only realized the full extent of it afterwards. I don’t see them much now as they are living elsewhere while they wait for their house to be re built from scratch. She has done similar things of revealing her awareness at other times as well. I had drifted from meditation and i realise she was indicating for me to meditate. I get better guidance when i do. There are other things I have experienced with the awareness that babies and small children have. It is not so much what they have, but more the definition of we as adults have created about what reality is which creates obscurity to it.

I initially thought of what happened with the elevator incident more as a manifestation than intuition. However, your question has got me thinking. Is there really any difference between the two? I looked at it from my own experiences with both intuition and awareness of manifestation within my life (from the perspective that the world is reflecting my thoughts and feelings of what I believe is.) Whenever I have asked a question with the expectation that an answer is, it has always been revealed to me. It has mostly occurred within the world. I can at times also just “know” something. Have you ever picked up the phone and the split second before answering, you knew exactly whom it was? Were you picking up the thought and vibration of the other person, or was it intuition?
I am starting to think that one way intuition works, is the reading of vibration in the form of thought or emotion. Weather it be my own or somebody else’s.

If I recall correctly, Sonia Choquette defines intuition as being one of these three things:
a) subconscious mind (which picks up and stores information you're not aware of, and can then decide to pop it up into your consciousness when you need it)
b) telepathy (as in answering the telephone and already knowing who it is)
or c) your Higher Self offering you guidance (and I think we can also add your Spirit Guides and Guardian Angels to this list).

Anywho, I see your particular incident as most likely being intuition (guidance) preparing you for what was about to happen.

The Law of Attraction generally has what is called "a buffer of time", wherein you can tweak your intentions or cancel them before they manifest (if you decide you don't really want them), so I don't think it would've been responsible for such a quick response.
