So you're at a new coffee shop, let's say you're walking around London, you're walking around Brazil, you're walking around Tokyo, some city you've never been before and you want to get a coffee, you want to get some lunch. Now you've been to heaps of cafes before and

And when you were in those environments, your brain processed all of these pieces of information, the temperature, the music, the coffee machine, how clean the floor was, the decor, how warm it was. And you've just basically learned what parts of an atmosphere or an environment are going to predict the kind of food and experience and coffee that you want based on all these prior learnings.

So as you're looking for a cafe, you're standing in the entrance, your intuition is applying those learnings to all this conscious information that's happening right now to help you make a decision based on a gut feeling. This is why you might have a gut instinct about a bad friend. or that someone is lying to you. It's because you've probably encountered a situation before.

And although you may not have picked up on some of the information that came with this situation, part of your brain did. And now it's pulling that information out of storage to help you make the best decision in this moment now. There is another component of intuition and it's talked about a lot less and it's this kind of ancient kind of knowledge.

Knowledge passed down through generations that feels like it's in our DNA, even in our cells. You may not have encountered a situation before, but there is some human part of you that feels very familiar with it and knows how to act and some kind of deja vu experience.

I honestly think it's because there's some ancestor, some experience from your past that it's in your blood, it's in your bones, it's been passed down through you. You can call it spirit, you can call it whatever. I know this sounds very woo-woo. It's an ancient human knowledge that informs how you see the world and informs your intuition and your gut instinct.

I want to tell another story, this time about my mum. When she was my age, she was travelling around the world doing fun, fabulous things. And she was in Indonesia. She was on a mountain that she knew was an active volcano. And it hadn't exploded for a while. I think it was semi-dormant. She's walking up this volcano, doing this hike. And she just gets this sense that this is going to erupt.

Something's not right. And she runs down the mountain. She sprints down the mountain and it erupts. Like, I don't know if it was the day later. It was after she got down the mountain. But within a very short period of time, the volcano had erupted. And from what I can remember of this story,
