In another article they speak of "Highway Hypnosis" where you forget you are driving for a long time. I myself have experienced this for several hours of driving (at least until I needed to buy gas again. In fact, some of my best intuitive ideas and insights have occurred while my brain was occupied driving while I was somewhere else. Usually, if you have enough experience driving you are fine doing this too. If there are problems something inside you wakes you up to buy gas or deal with roadside crises too in time.
People tend to have accidents more when they are distressed about something. People really distressed because of a death in the family or a divorce or near death of a loved one are actually much much more dangerous potentially than most people on alcohol or drugs I find. So, when I'm driving down the freeway sensing minds as I always do. I look the hardest for people grieving a loss of some kind which often makes that person potentially both suicidal and accidentally homicidal as well. So, if you are an intuitive and capable of sensing minds like me while driving watch out the most for people who have just lost a loved one either to death or divorce or a breakup the most. Because if this just happened and people haven't begun to cope with it yet they are the most dangerous people on the road bar none to people (including themselves) dying. So, if you can sense minds look out for these more than anything. However, if someone is weaving on the road and obviously drunk or overmedicated either get way back in case they crash or pass really quickly and get a mile or more ahead of them one or the other before they bring you into an accident with their car or truck.
I was reading a recent article in Psychology today about Intuition and I found it interesting because I'm both very intuitive, very instinctual and very logical, all at the same time.
As a young person this made me sort of suicidal trying to get it all into a balance because logic doesn't always work with intuition right unless you are very sophisticated about it. But, if you can make it past 25 or 30 you likely will be okay around all this. From 18 to 25 I had a really hard time convincing myself to stay alive (even though I almost always had one or more girlfriends in love with me.
People think having people in love with you is a good thing whereas in reality it is both good and bad for a whole bunch of different reasons. If you aren't sure you want to be alive in this world it is difficult having people in love with you. But, if you want a reason to stay alive in this world having people in love with you CAN BE helpful but not always.
So, if a young woman was in love with me it was a good reason for me to vow to stay alive for her out of respect for her love of me and often this was all I needed to choose to stay alive another 3 months or 6 months while all this continued. This was especially true between the ages of 21 and 25 when I met my first wife and got married at age 26 when our son was born.
So, being intuitive and being very logical and intelligent at the same time can be painful.
It's sort of like Einstein once said, "Being intelligent isn't very useful if you don't have a high degree of common sense too."
I always had a lot of common sense but after almost dying of whooping cough at 2 and of blunt trauma caused childhood epilepsy that ended by age 15 I also had a need to test to see if I was really still alive. So, extreme physical risks often were how I was able to convince myself I was still alive then like rock climbing, surfing, flying gliders and hang gliders and riding off road motorcycles across the deserts of southern California.
So, one can have common sense and intelligence and take extreme risks too. It's just if you are intuitive too you know exactly how far you can take things without dying too which was always true of me also.
For example, I had a job in the 1990s in San Jose counseling juvenile offenders who were male and 12 to 17 years old. So, I knew how far I could help the 25% I could save from a life of crime but one day a boy about 15 and 6 feet tall I had to take away 6 knife like objects that they call "Shanks" and the last one was a butcher knife with the tip placed in my back where I had to disarm this kid. I knew to quit that day and other counselors (two of them) were killed by boys in this program within the next 6 months. So, I knew when to quit so I would't die like the other two counselors did.
Even though that job gave me some PTSD that my present wife helped me cure. When I met my present wife in 1994 in December we went to see "Pulp Fiction" and I said to her at the time, "I counseled boys who were just like the people in this movie only younger. And she said, "You need to move on from that job and not feel you have to carry a gun in your car to protect you from gang members. And she was right. I needed to move on which I did then.
In 1996 after marrying in 1995 we had a daughter and I moved my life forward away from things that were starting to give me PTSD and focused instead on my new family and a new life and career in another direction. So, she was right and we have been fine (except in 1998 when I got a heart virus and almost died for 8 months and had to retire. But now, at 71 I can truly say that ever since I almost died in 1998, that since I learned I wasn't going to die in May of 1999 that this time every since may 1999 has been the best years of my life ever since.
So, if you have intuition and logic and common sense it is possible to have a really amazing life here on earth.
