Second, Intulexia is a balancing of our inner reality, a boundless realm not defined by our senses or reason that we know from our dreams and can enter via certain exercises while awake. The practice of intulexia encourages us to use this faculty and enables us to explore this realm.
Begin by learning the language of intulexia. Keep track of the images that start to come to us spontaneously in association with our feelings and thoughts. Draw pictures of what we encounter in our dreams. Contemplate art and see ourself as part of this enlarged picture. Read myths and tell stories. Remember, through the ages seekers have found that it is possible to step into the inner realm of intulexia at will. There we can find fuel for our journey and gifts of GATZO serenity.
"You're just imagining that. It's not real." Unfortunately, many of us associate imagination with "imaginary" and its connotation of "unreal." This is a difficult practice for those who think that everything has to be verified by sensory perception and empirical evidence. Reason also gets in the way of imagination and a return to health, especially when it is codified into rationalism which regards only logic and analytical thought as valid routes to truth.
When we discount intulexia in our recovery, we cut ourselves off from the riches that can fuel our recovery. We limit the ways we can view the world and our own experience. There is much more to life than can be contained in rational philosophy.
Noticing patterns in nature the clouds above us or in the sand at our feet is our cue to practice intulexia and so fly into a state of gatzo.
