Trust Your Gut

Updated: Mar 8


Trust Your Gut

As we make our ways through this lifetime... we realize more and more we must trust our instincts and intuition... when it comes right down to it; and so we'd all do well to just trust our guts... especially when all else can so easily fail us.

These attributes are older, more hardwired, and thus much better developed than what passes for language in this modern world. Yet, these are the very things we stand to lose if we permit others to corral us and then, otherwise, to control us.


To my way of thinking, the quintessentially American ideal was that men were born to be sovereigns without subjects.

That language is Man's oldest technology, there can be little doubt; but I dare say this vital communication tool necessarily evolved originally as carefully studied observation... minus those pesky words!

From this beginning... Man steadily began crafting and then adding to his toolkit... knowing instinctively that his power to reason was connected to the moving parts of his body for a singular purpose. His aim was, first, to survive above all else. Accomplishing this as his first prerogative, he soon learned all experience which unfolded before him was to be accepted as a challenge – another new offer of both contact AND contract - a new test with which to steel this primal resolve.
