Memory doesn't work like a linear filing system. It's stored in associative patterns based on themes and emotions. When one memory is activated, it can trigger a cascade of thematically connected memories, regardless of when they occurred, explaining why a current event can surface multiple similar past experiences.

In cases of trauma (PTSD), the brain's speech center can shut down. Research shows that physical activities like yoga, dancing, or drumming can release trauma stored in the body. This suggests these practices can also unlock positive, intuitive wisdom that isn't accessible through talk therapy alone.

The RAS in your brain acts as a filter, showing you information that aligns with your core beliefs. If you adopt the belief 'I am a lucky person,' your RAS will start pointing out opportunities that were always there but previously filtered out. This is the neuroscience behind 'creating your own luck.'

From a young age, we suppress our authentic selves (intuition) to maintain connection with caregivers. This creates a lifelong pattern of seeking external validation over internal knowing, leading us to distrust our gut feelings.

While struggling with depression, Boyd Varty found relief by following a subtle 'uptick of energy' he felt when pretending to be a writer. This highlights the power of trusting small, non-rational, bodily sensations as a compass for major life decisions, bypassing purely logical analysis.

Scientific literature suggests humans have between 22 and 33+ physiological senses, including balance, proprioception, and awareness of internal states like bladder fullness. This reframes human potential, suggesting we are capable of perceiving far more than we commonly acknowledge.

Seemingly irrational financial behaviors, like extreme frugality, often stem from subconscious emotional wounds or innate personality traits rather than conscious logic. With up to 90% of brain function being non-conscious, we often can't explain our own financial motivations without deep introspection, as they are shaped by past experiences we don't consciously process.

Labels like 'imposter syndrome' or 'feeling like a failure' are purely mental stories, not physical realities. Your body doesn't know what 'failure' is; it only experiences sensations like a churning stomach or tightness in the chest. By focusing on the raw physical feeling, you disconnect from the mind's debilitating narrative.

High-achievers default to a mind-first approach (logic, safety). True intuitive creation requires reversing this hierarchy: prioritize spirit (energy), then check in with the body (somatic response), and finally use the mind for execution and safety.
