Intellect vs Instinct

I have come across so many people who asks me "Instinct?? Seriously does something like that exist?"

I have my very close friends to whom I explain the wonders that happen in my life- about how the  universe helps me get things done. But they find it hard to believe even if they are amazed upon the things that happen to me.

 I do believe in instincts and many of my friends don't believe in 'instincts'. I know its hard for the educated community to accept or understand the mysteries of universe. Certain things cannot be explained, It can only be felt. I tried to help many of them to listen to their inner voices, Few of them who believed, started trusting their instincts which showed magics in their lives but many of them even if they understood the phenomenon, they just don't want to accept it because they fear that the society would call them 'superstitious'. Those people think that if they discard many things as superstitions and stand against it then they belong to the 'intelligent' category. But poor humans they don't realize that they are actually being categorized into hypocrites. 

And then there is this category who believe in science- I do truly belong to such a category.
And what is science?
science explores and makes available facts about the universe - "universal experience" in a sense that we're all subject to experiencing them, while arts attempt to exposing to everyone ("make universal") those special facts that normally are only available to a particular person

Every phenomenon in the world was an art before it became science. 

Scientist takes an undefined phenomenon and research upon it for years finding reasons, history, definitions and above all proofs (evidence of existence)
Well, then they come to existence under the category of science.
So there are certain things that can be explained only with time. Now they may seem superstitious but science growing day by day will find answers for each mystery one by one. Hence never discard those things that you know exist but has no proof.  

I guess I spoke so much about science right now, So back to instincts- 
I would suggest you people who are interested to know more about instincts to read the book 'Instinct' by Bishop T.D. Jakes. Trust me you wont regret spending time on that book. He explains instinct very easily in casual language with simple examples from daily life.

Let me give an example from his book:
Once when Bishop went on a safari in South Africa he had an experience. There was two men in his jeep- one was a zoologist and the other was the zookeeper. The zoologist kept explaining him everything about animals- The elephant- its habitat, the environment, its mating practices and many other intricate details then to the formation of their teeth. The problem was he could explain about them but couldn't find them. Finally as they went on, the zoo keeper who was silent during the whole conversation and trip till then suddenly said, "The elephant is there."
All of a sudden Bishop realized the difference between intelligence and intellect.

Whole of your life your intelligence can explain to you what you want and what you like but only your instinct can tell you what you will be! The more you trust your instincts the more likely magics occur in your own life. Listen to your inner voice before you take each small step in life which can be a giant leap.

P.S:-    *Intellect can explain it,
            but Instinct can find it. 

           *Intelligence hold the gun but instinct can only pull the Trigger.
