I have been reflecting about my early years, say, through childhood to my early 30's when I developed one of the first Biofeedback services in Wisconsin and began studying Eastern ideas about body and mind control. For all my years around a funeral home, my church training, and family interactions, I can not remember a single "intuitive event". I remember reading an alternative medicine book when in high school, and I found very intriguing. Sometime during that part of my life, I also sent off for a book on hypnosis and the martial art of Judo. I had several times during those years when I felt protected by something or one bigger than me, like the time I was on a 2 train track bridge dropping rocks between the tresels into the river below – I did not hear the train until it was on the bridge with me – I froze – and the train went by me on the other track. I ran off the tracks, fell down on my knees and thanked God for taking care of me and letting me live. I have often speculated about what was going on in the train engineer's mind as he was approaching the bridge and seeing a kid with his back to him and not reacting to his whistle. Several years later, before they stopped the train service, an adolescent boy was killed on those tracks near where I had been. Some said it was a suicide because in their minds it did not make sense that someone would not hear an approaching train and get off the tracks. I knew that it could happen, I understand that it may not have been a suicide. There were other times in my car as a late teen male driver, when I had some close calls. I imagine there were some close calls that I was not aware of also. Intuition, did not play a part in helping me during those events, at least not from my perspective. I have to allow, that unconsciously, a deeper intuition may have been in play out of my awareness. An other element that I think plays into that time period, is the fact that from around age 9 to my late 30's, when I got on medication, I had multiple bouts of severe clinic depression. I also had (have) mild dyslexia. What these conditions did for me, was help develop a sensitivity to and empathy for others. Or, to put in terms of Jonathan, I unknowingly developed an attitude of kindness and compassion. So, while I had a long time interest in something I sensed was "out there", I did not have a word for it, nor did I think of myself as having some sort of gift in the form of intuitive or psychic abilities.
