Is sixth sense real? If yes, how can you harness this power to better your life?

My mother, sister and I share a very close bond. My mother brought us up single-handedly and played the dual roles of a father and a mother. It was a tough phase for all of us and brought us very close to each other.

When my sister and I were young - we used to travel to our school by public transport system. We used to catch different buses since our school routes were different.

On a sunny winter morning, while I was walking from the bus stop to my school – I was hit by a two wheeler on my right hand. Though I was not hurt much – in that very moment I had a very bad feeling, I became restless and I saw my sister’s face. This phase lasted for about 15 minutes. At that time, I was 10 years old and didn’t know how to decipher this event.

Later that afternoon – when I reached home – I saw my sister lying in bed in pain with bruises on the right side of her body. My mother was tending to her and later told me that around the time I was hurt that morning - my sister had slipped from the last step of a moving bus (people from India would be able to relate to this better) and had sustained road injuries.

It is now that I realize that it was not a coincidence that at the exact time my sister was hurt – I had was feeling uneasy and restless.

I am sure at some of point of time in your life - you must have experienced one or more of the following situations:

1)     You are thinking of someone and that person calls you

2)     You meet someone and you do not have a good feeling about that person. However, you go against your feeling and enter into a professional / personal relationship and later realize that your initial sense about the person was bang on

3)     You have a prior sense that something good / bad is going to happen and it happens exactly the same way (premonition)

4)     You have a sense that you have been through a particular situation / place – but you cannot recall being in such a situation / place (dejavu)

This sense is called sixth sense or intuition and it is not based on logic. In fact – almost all of the times – your intuition or sixth sense is not logical – yet it provides very accurate and useful information.

So, is everyone bestowed with sixth sense or is it reserved for a chosen few?

Our physical body is made up of 40 trillion cells and each cell has ~1 trillion molecules and 99% of the space in each molecule is vaccum / empty.

However, I believe that each molecule has trillions of cosmic energy particles that cannot be perceived by the 5 senses and hence most of the molecule that seems to be empty is actually full of energy. Now, quantum physicists also believe that there are fleeting electro-magnetic waves in this vaccum / empty space.

These cosmic energy particles are present in every molecule and make up everything that exists on this planet – humans, animals, plants, water, air, fire, earth etc. This cosmic energy is also referred to as ether and finds reference in ancient Indian spiritual texts.Each of us is made up of these cosmic energy particles. We come from the same source and are connected with each other. We are connected with everything that is happening in the Universe and are constantly receiving information about everything that is happening in this Universe.

However - most of the times we are not able to perceive and receive this information (sixth sense / intuition). This is because our thoughts act as a barrier. The greater the frequency of our thoughts - the higher is the barrier to receive intuition. The lesser thoughts you have at any given moment - the more open you are to receiving this information / intuition / cosmic guidance.

One who regularly meditates usually experiences a lesser frequency of thoughts (i.e less thoughts per minute) and hence is more intuitive. Also, during deep sleep one reaches a thoughtless state and receives intuition. Sometimes, dreams act an important source of guidance. However, most of us do not remember our dreams when we get up and valuable information is lost. Will share more on my experiences with dreams and the role they have played in guiding and steering my life in a separate article.

How can you use sixth sense to better your life?

When one freely receives information through cosmic energy then one is in a better position to receive information related to one’s life, situations and circumstances. This helps one make better life choices and decisions as one receives information that is beyond the limited confines of human mind.

“The inner voice is something which cannot be described in words. But sometimes we have a positive feeling that something in us prompts us to do a certain thing.”- Mahatma Gandhi

As a young adult – I made a mental list of the personality traits that I would like my life partner to have. When I was 27 years old – I met a girl at her college. I was working on a project and was looking for a cost effective interior designer. The girl’s Principal invited me for a meeting at her office. When I stepped into her office – I saw that girl for the first time.

Throughout that meeting – I didn’t once look at her. However, I sensed a radiating bright energy flowing from her towards me. In those moments – I knew that there was something special here. I had not experienced this feeling before and I had keen awareness that I shared a very deep spiritual and energetic connect with her.

Throughout the meeting – I was so conscious that I never once looked at her. After the meeting – when I looked at her – I had a feeling that she had all the characteristics that I was looking for in a life partner and met all my criteria except one. In that very moment – I also had an intuition that in future she would meet that one criterion as well.

Though I had a very clear sense that she is my life partner but my mind resisted. Also, the trauma and pain from my past relationships were preventing me from acknowledging my heart’s feelings towards her. Finally – I went past my mind’s fears and acknowledged my feelings for her.

It’s been 10 years and she is my wife now. We partner in everything. We have been blessed with 2 loving sons. The elder one is 5.5 years and the younger one is about 2 years old.

My sixth sense / intuition was 100% accurate and complete. She indeed meets has all the personality traits that I was looking for in my life partner. She now meets even the one criterion that she didn’t meet earlier which is exactly how I had sensed earlier.

I am very glad and grateful that I chose to rely on my intuition / sixth sense rather than my mind in making such an important life choice.

I believe that this is one of the best decisions of my life.

How is sixth sense different from intellect?

In most situations - mind usually decides based on rational and logical thinking. It collects the necessary information to make decisions and sub-consciously infers and makes opinions based on its past experience of similar situations.

On the other hand – information received through cosmic energy in the form of intuition is more effective and accurate as it is based in reality of the present moment. It factors in different situations and possible outcomes that are currently at play in the Universe that the conscious mind is completely unaware of. Hence, cosmic energy provides the necessary cues for us to make the most optimal and beneficial decisions even though they may appear illogical to the mind.

“Intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect, in my opinion. That’s had a big impact on my work,” - Steve Jobs

Leaders from all walks of life call this cosmic information - gut instinct and rely on it for decision making. Usually corporate leaders are most comfortable taking decisions where there is an alignment between their gut instinct and the story that evolves from numbers and data crunching.

However, in case of misalignment between the two – I believe it is better to go with your gut and follow your intuition.

Jack Welch strongly believed that one should rely on one’s gut instinct / intuition while finalizing deals.

"Say you've been asked to invest in a new office building. The deal's numbers are perfect, you're told; you can't lose. But your gut tells you otherwise. Getting that "uh-oh" response, he says, is worth listening to and will likely pay-off in the long run.” - Jack Welch

Great Leaders of Humanity such as Mahatma Gandhi, Jack Welch, Steve Jobs (and the list continues) not only recognised this less understood power but also used it to make better life decisions and choices and steer their lives ahead.
