Shutting Out the Signals

Almost everyday and every moment in our lives, we are being guided by our Intuition, sending us signals of warning or maybe even signals of delight. When we get the signals from our Intuition, sometimes it does not make sense and we may shut those signals out. Here is an example of when I did not listen to the signals.

I was packing my bag to go to a friends house for the weekend. Since I am in school now, I usually do not leave the house without my school books and supplies, along with clothes and laptop. I like to be prepared for where ever I go. This time when I was leaving, I noticed my car registration was in my room and not in my car. I said to myself, "Oh, Why is my registration in my room, I normally have it in my car. I need to bring this, I going to need it." So I put the registration in my bag and forgot about what I said to myself.
After packing, I was on my way to my destination. I am driving along on the I-10 going east towards the Loop 202 Red mountain Freeway. I was in the left lane getting closer to the 202 on ramp. On the left side of the freeway is the HOV lane, and the far right lanes is the actual 202 ramp. I thought to myself, "I should go to the right lane to get off instead of getting of on the HOV lane." Then I said, "No I will just go on the 202 HOV lane and get over right away so I do not get busted" I hopped on the HOV ramp to get on the Loop 202. After I drove approximately 1/2 mile I could see the end of the ramp, and low and behold, guess who is sitting at the very end of the ramp? Mr. Police man himself!! "Shit" I said. "I am busted." Needless to say I got a ticket for driving in the HOV lane. My Intuition warned me way back when I was in my room and right before I proceeded in the HOV lane, but I thought nothing about what my intuition was trying to tell me.
I am a huge risk taker, sometimes breaking rules is what I need to do to get where I need to go. I can sit here and say "Well I should have done this or that, because this or that would not have happened" The truth of the matter is, I really do not know what would have happened. What I do know is that my higher self was testing me to trust my Intuition in what can happen.
I am aware of the risk I took driving in the HOV lane, something happened though that did not happen before. I did not panic, cry, get upset, or lose control when the officer was questioning my actions. I remained very calm and did not lose control of myself at all. Believe it or not, I was quite happy with what I just experienced. Our Intuition is not going to be so subtle all the time, I blame myself for not listening to the signals myself was giving. I do not blame the man for doing his job. I am very proud that I did this because my old self would have handled things much differently.

Namaste,
