What is the difference between instinct and Intuition?

We are all born with the instinct to survive. For example, I can remember when I was asked by a counselor to try to go before in memories that I was civilized as a baby human being. I remember my mothers breast as big as a kitchen table. I knew that I would literally do anything to suckle at that breast because it was life to me then. So, smiling or whatever the person attached to this breast wanted I would do as long as she gave me milk. I was a little wild animal then just trying to survive any way I could. So, little by little I was domesticated just like most children are to be more docile and helpful and all that if they have good parents like I did. But, we all start out as little wild animals trying to survive any way we can.

So, what is the difference between these animals instincts to survive any way we can and intuition?

Mostly, I find intuition happens out of necessity to survive your life. When you are threatened in some way it stimulates your intuition. For example, a knife was put at my throat and people told me that they were going to cut my head off twice between ages 8 and 11 even cutting my neck a little.

So, I think this stimulated a couple of things in me. First, it made me refuse to fully trust another human being ever in my life because they might kill me. 2nd, it made me much more independent as a thinker and realizing especially male children and men could never be trusted again. Then when my 13 year old cousin that I trusted molested me at 8 this was a further invasion of my trust of male beings. So, basically between 8 and 12 I learned never to trust anyone who was male completely ever again in my life.

I have male friends but they I trust because we have all tested each other on many occasions even though two of my best friends from childhood have already died. But, I still have one friend I met when I was 14 and my cousin who is about 5 years older than me still from the old days.

So, trauma tends to develop your intuition more than anything else. This is the strange thing about instinct developing into full blown intuition. Suffering causes intuition to become something amazing and rarified and powerful in a way that blows my mind in a lot of ways still how powerful and amazing it really can be.

Note: But unless you develop compassion for yourself and all beings in the universe your intuition often will just get you killed eventually unless you use it to help yourself and all beings around you.
