Discernment: Sensing vs Feeling vs Thinking

We get our information from the Internet, for the most part.  The Internet, where misinformation has become the norm!  Ha ha! It’s less than ideal.

Further, the machinations behind the scenes are inordinately sophisticated.  You wind up following signposts that lead you to the wrong conclusion.  It reminds me of the Treasure Hunts, I used to design for my kids. I knew where they’d wind up!

With a packed 8th house, I tend to pay attention to signs.  These days, I’m not sure it’s enough. I say this, because the “signs” can be created to mislead.

Also, the mind is very easy to trick and manipulate.  For example, if you read, “one hundred people agree”, your mind will automatically be ready to agree as well.  You may be able to combat this in the moment, but it’s like straightening my curly hair. It’s always returns to the norm.  Feelings are pretty reliable, in my experience, though they can also become confused.

Logically, it seems you should use all three, but this doesn’t seem to be how it works in real life.

There are times when my mind is very sharp. Forget about it! I can crack codes all day long! But there are other times, I pick up a chart and what is needed, exists in my head, before I’ve even had a chance to think.  On other occasions, information arrives like a gut punch.

I don’t know that I’ve ever had all three of these hit me at once, but these functions work beautifully, sequentially.   For example, I may have the insight hit me. I still need to use my Mercurial functions to communicate it.  Or I may think of  something and need to suss out what to do with the information, if anything.

How do you generally discern, right from wrong, truth from lie, etc?  Do you have a way of checking yourself?
