Inner Wisdom and Collective Wisdom Fuels Intuition

Your inner wisdom is the well your intuition draws from when you’re making an intuitive decision. Your knowledge, life experience and the skills you’ve gained through your efforts over time are the source of your inner wisdom.

Your knowledge + skills + experience x time = inner wisdom.
Your inner wisdom + conscious, collective wisdom = supercharged intuition.

Gail Goodwin

If you dream of building up your intuitive skills, then one way is to supercharge your intuition by boosting your inner wisdom with the collective wisdom. It’s the wisdom found in your personal archetypes, that is, archetypal wisdom.

Archetypes, as patterns of human behaviour, are an evolving and unlimited source of humanity’s collective wisdom. To be sure, you’ve been accessing collective, archetypal wisdom all your life, but you may not have been conscious of it. You were taught to take on certain patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving by your family, society and culture. Some of those patterns you’ve accepted with or without question. Others, you’ve rejected, with or without question. This is what determines your 12 unique, personal archetypes.

When you’re conscious of what you’re doing with your personal archetypes, you can take your inner wisdom to a whole new level.

You don’t need to rely on logic or external advice alone. As Joel Pearson, author of The Intuition Toolkit¹ suggests, you would rely on logic, common sense and professional external advice when it comes to making decisions in the midst of unfamiliar territory, until you learn from experience. In familiar territory, you don’t need to rely on logic or external advice alone. By collaborating with your archetypes, you can learn to trust your inner wisdom and follow your intuition as a reliable, guiding force in your life.

Accessing collective wisdom by drawing on the information contained within your personal archetypes will build on your inner wisdom. Your intuition draws on this so you can make intuitive decisions. Being conscious of your capacity to incorporate the collective wisdom found in archetypes into your inner wisdom can supercharge your intuition. And the quality of your inner wisdom becomes a valuable contribution to humanity’s wisdom.
