I get intuitive often, but I have also followed some wrong ones. I believe that is where a form of Karma leads you.

Mine happen when I read a book, often a paragraph or line will jump out at me and be applicable to a certain situation, or just some synchronicity with another friend. A typical example of my reading of Charles Dickens journeys through Italy the other day, his descriptions of the Coliseum in Rome were strikingly detailed, then the very same morning I opened my Facebook page and my friends were there at the same spot during a visit that same day.

At other times I've been involved with property sales and development of an old pub, and another Dickens book mentioned the very same pub on the first page.

Other times, I've been travelling overseas and a friend's voice has called out my name, and I've had to call them and they had the same reaction as your friend. Nowadays I just let go and believe.
