Sometimes I’m a bit stupid. For the past few days I had been lamenting the end of onion season. Of course, the reality is that onion season never really ends. It’s just that my preference is for consuming the flowers, the most flavourful part of the Wild Onion. I honestly had sort of forgotten that there’s still the bulb buried underground… which is in season pretty much always, even once the onion has completely gone to seed. Like I said, sometimes I’m a little bit stupid!

Wild Onion is rather smart. It nourishes the part of me that gets tired and bored with all of the sugary berries and blossoms. Onion’s savoury flavour feeds a deeper part of me… well below the surface.

“A facade is a facade, even if it’s a rather pretty one. True knowing demands a consistent ability to penetrate beyond appearances. We are all equipped to do so, should we so choose.

“Historically, modern human science chose a wrong turning at the outset, discarding its most precise and accurate measuring device: intuition. Your feelings are your greatest asset… but they are buried beneath the surface. It is always your own choice whether to keep them hidden or to unearth their sublime treasure.

“Science, in seeking an ever-elusive ‘objectivity,’ chose to disallow and banish intuition. Instead, science might have chosen to acknowledge the ever-subjective nature of all experience, and could have decided to build a very real ‘Science of Intuition.’

“Indeed, such an undertaking would have constituted a rational first step. Feelings exist outside of space and time; they are non-computational, non-linear, instantaneous and infallible.

“Feelings– or intuition– make energetic comparisons. Briefly, the energetic patterning of an external hypothesis is overlaid upon an inner reality. The inner reality is a totality (infinite); any hypothesis may be measured against it. The resultant feeling is accurate and precise in depicting all of the subtle nuances of resonance and/or dissonance. The full spectrum of human intuition is infinite.

“The decaying scientific paradigm has delegated intuition to a place of irrelevance. Feelings are labelled unscientific. As such, science may only move forward again once it acknowledges and fully grasps its most valuable tool. In the meantime, individuals are encouraged to establish their own ‘Science of Intuition.'”

Chatty little fella, eh? Think I’ll bite him in the bum!
