Now (in Chapter 7 of her memoir, Beyond the Great Abyss), there are two men in Becky’s increasingly complicated life, Ricky and Victor. This is not a good idea with a paranoid crocodile, as Victor has been seen symbolically by Becky’s intuitive counselor. Becky’s father however, has now also suddenly become highly intuitive, and he provides wise advice. This sudden transformation occurs because of a medical trauma where Becky’s father loses his logical left brain function, which allows his natural right brain intuitive ability to surface uninhibited by the critical, disbelieving left brain.
Dad tells Becky, “There is a very susceptible young girl, but there is also a brilliant 12 year old to take care of her.” These are two sides of Becky, with the older version able to stand back and be more objective. This is a useful skill for all of us. We all have an inner child with powerful needs, but when a part of you can be less emotional and see the bigger picture, you gain more power over your life. From this position, you can make the sometimes difficult decisions needed to protect yourself. (See Workbook Introduction for how to use this workbook, which is being posted on this blog, one chapter per week).
Intuition Development Exercise: What inner needs are driving you? Meditate and let your subconscious bring to the surface the powerful needs and desires that are behind your actions and words, especially considering situations that are difficult or upsetting for you. To honor these powerful inner child feelings, write them down in your journal. Meditate again and ask Spirit what you need to do to truly and safely take care of that inner child.
