Intuition, imagination, and instinct. These are three words, 3 concepts that people often find difficult to distinguish between. It is time to clear up that confusion. In this article, I will help you to clarify the differences between the three once and for all, starting with understanding instinct.

Your instincts are your genetic survival drives. Every creature, large or small, that has a nervous system has instincts, as they are a basic survival tool for any living creature. They do not require any intelligence, and they don’t involve any kind of inspired guidance from your Higher Self. Instincts are nothing more than the basic drives wired into your physiology.

Your imagination is something completely different. It is a creative tool that is driven by your conscious and subconscious mind in response to your desires and intentions. Your imagination has the ability to craft visions towards the manifestation of your reality. While driven by your physical mind, the imaginative process uses many of the same inner senses as your intuition does as it evokes into being new worlds and possibilities. Your imagination is directed by your will, and is a powerful tool in the conscious creation process.

Using your imagination as a gateway or portal, inspiration can also flow and bring forth great acts of creativity. Your imagination and inspiration are like twin bridges to your intuition. When you use your imagination to visualize a place within your mind, you create an ideal internal space from which you can access and interact with your intuitive self, receiving insights and information from your subconscious mind and from your Higher Self.

This means that your imagination is a flexible tool and passageway on the road to your intuitive development. The environments and situations you invoke in your imagination serve as a backdrop and foundation for your intuitive practices. For example, imagination is key to success in guided visualization. It sets the scene and creates an appropriate setting from which you can open yourself to higher vibrations and receive insights and impressions through your inner intuitive senses.
