Vachon Imagined

When intuition—or what some call a sixth sense—is treated as something fixed or concrete, people begin to lose access to a capacity all humans already have.

We are awareness. We move as awareness. And when we meet another person, even in speech or thought about them, something of their presence is being registered through us.

When this sensing is allowed to arise and pass without clinging, it becomes clearer.

People who allow intuition to move through them without grasping it are not losing something—they are staying open to what is being perceived in real time.

Children often demonstrate this natural sensitivity. If something feels off, they respond. Before it is explained, labeled, or corrected, it is simply felt.

This is closer to innocence—not because children are perfect, but because their perception has not yet been heavily divided into “good” and “bad” parts of self.

Much of what interrupts this clarity is learned over time: inherited interpretations, judgments, and narratives carried through generations.

This is why we sometimes say, “Your daughter acts just like her aunt,” even when the aunt may no longer be present. What is being noticed is a pattern of expression moving through awareness, not a fixed identity.

Sense becomes obscured when we over-attach to logic as something rigid and final, as if what is real must be concrete and unchanging.

But nothing in lived experience is truly fixed.

Everything is moving—passing through, arising, and dissolving.

It cannot be grasped as a permanent object.

It also does not need to be denied.

It can be sensed.

And when it is sensed without fixation, clarity returns.

Anyone can do this.

In a sense, everyone already does.
