Notes

Gandhi was practiced an adept at listing to his "inner voice." As he says, "as I had long since taught myself to follow the inner voice. I delighted in submitting to it. To act against it would be difficult and painful to me.[1]

Edward Carpenter notes that "to almost all mankind flashes (or glimmers) of the same thing come in those moments of exaltation or intuition which form the basis of religion, art, literature, and much even of practical life.[2]

Intuitive glimmerings often lead to great connection experiences, and thus perhaps may be considered Push Experiences. St. Teresa of Avila notes that sometimes, God (read Consciousness) gives "consolations, favours and emotions13 which begin to move their desires, and occasionally even brings them to a state of contemplation..." [3]
