My teacher Lao Tzu

"Evolved individuals know that people who are not intuitivecan be dangerous to work with, since they are guided solely by the present appearance of things that are, in reality, changing. Evolved individuals seek out others who have intuition and vision -- a form of intelligence that comes from cultivating their own instinct, observing the direction of change, and apprehending changing ideas."

This said 2,500 years ago in the Tao Te Ching written by Lao Tzu.

Awesome!

One of my favorite books. So amazing how relevant it is!

Also wanted to mention that this type of philosophy has been sort of remolded for today in a book that was just on Oprah, called "The Secret."
It's all about how we bring circumstances and people into our lives based on the energy we put out into the world.
Good stuff:)
