Of course, I hear with my ears. Of course, I see
with my eyes. Of course, I feel with my hands.
But if I wish to do all the above the best, I do not
use my ears, I do not use my eyes, I do not use
my hands. I use the keenest sense I have: I use
my intuition. And when I use my intuition, I can
hear all falsehoods, I can see through all illusions,
I can feel all disingenuousness. The lies, the fakery,
the cons--the ways and means of many--become
naked and clear to me, and I eschew them. I need
say nothing. I simply continue to follow my inner
moral compass, and my destination, whether near
or far, always in time appears, and I am home.
