    Re .0 (Amy):
    
    One school of thought is that some people are slightly precognitive.
    Thus, when given choices, one may feel more "comfortable" than the
    alternative(s).  If so, it's a psi function.
    
    An alternative to that is that you might pick up all sorts of data
    unconsciously, and these are evaluated in your subconscious and
    manifested in your consciousness as the "gut feel" you sense.

Amy,


In Marion Wienstien's (sp?) book Positive Magic (I believe that is the
title), she talks about an inner bell. That before one proceeds on a
course of action it should be tested against this inner sense to determine
the rightness or wrongness of a particular action. You might enjoy reading
this book.

For myself I too have an "inner voice", but in my case it is more of a
conscience, helping me determine right from wrong. Yours sounds more
useful. I have many decisions in my life that I am never sure that I have
made the right choice.

    Several years ago, after I had just started as a temp for DEC, I was
    offered a job with another company.  The job was exactly within my
    field of study, was a permanant job, had a better salary than I was
    getting as a temp, benefits, etc.  I turned it down, because something
    about it didn't feel right.  Various people told me I must be crazy to
    turn it down, and urged me to reconsider.  A month later the company
    went out of business.  If I had taken that job, I would have become
    unemployed.  As it is, I am still working for DEC, making considerably
    more than I would have made with the job with the other company.

    A few months back, when the stock market was going up and up, I
    told Martha we should buy $2K worth and sell it within six months.
    I thought we could make a few hundred $$.  Stock price was $160.
    She said, "that's peanuts, if you're so damn sure of yourself,
    take the home improvement loan and buy 10K$."  I meditated, my
    stomach turned over, I said it sounds good but it doesn't feel
    right....I would have lost thousands of borrowed dollars....MWR
    

    I too, have an inner voice, my intuition, gut feeling, higher self
    or whatever anybody wants to call it.  I always ask if this is right,
    or to be shown a sign if it is, and always get an answer.  
    
    Everybody has this ability, like learning to read, it has to be
    developed.  
    
    I am amazed sometimes at some of the answers I receive.  Especially
    if something isn't going right.  I do a lot of sewing and if I'm
    doing something wrong I always get a sign.  Don't always listen.
    Even if time is short and I am going to run out, I am shown signs. 
    I can laugh afterwards, but at the time am incredibly humble.  
    
    The most embarrassing thing is when I do receive answers to my
    questions and I then answer them out loud - usually in the car with
    people watching me!!!
    
    We can all get parking spaces, but I now program the time as well.
    In Sydney parking is probably the same as anywhere in the States,
    little or none.  A group of us often go to the movies in the city,
    and I always program for the spot, (where it is flashes into my
    mind) and the time I want to arrive.  If by chance I am early, I
    always get red lights, or take wrong turns until the time is up,
    but always make it to the second.
    
    I now always listen for answers on any decision I make.  The more
    confident I get the easier it is to receive these answers.
