The Context
Rogers famously wrote that human beings have potentially available a tremendous range of intuitive powers. That we are indeed wiser than our intellects, but sadly, we have neglected the capacities of the irrational, creative and metaphoric parts of our brains. And yet, we have a true self that knows the next step here.
The Tool
Tracking
TRACKING — Monitoring our machinery of intuitive thought to figure out the next steps in our tasks
Movie detectives use a term anytime their intuition steps in to help solve the big case: Something about this doesn’t track for me. Meaning, there’s an inconsistency in his serial killer’s sequence of events. His behavior doesn’t fit the pattern. It’s not aligned. It doesn’t track. Each of us can learn to do this for ourselves. When doing our creative work, these triggers are more about our own history than the person sitting across the table. And we don’t want to be too quick to find that everything is aligned with our powers of intuition. But tracking is a good place to start to find out what's next in the process.
The Rest
Ultimately, intuition arrives as a physical whisper, not a cognitive shout. The thing we tune into is our body, not our brain. What's tracking for your right now, and what does that mean for your creative work?
