can intuition be wrong, or does doubt make it that way?
I believe that intuition was given to us by the Earth Mother as a means of protection and knowledge. I also believe that many people confuse intuition with "following your heart." Your heart can be wrong, but does that mean that intuition is always right?

If I've got a problem and I'm given a snapshot from my intuition, interpreting and following that vision (almost a still photograph) is infallible, it's never been wrong for me.
If I call upon God or Jesus or "follow my heart," I invariable take the wrong course of action. I think because in these instances, UI am calling upon my own sentiments to guide me to a series of actions that appear sentimentally rewarding --regardless of reality -- which is a fiasco.

My intuition in regard to a persons real nature is usually spot on. If I don't like someone from the start, but just cannot put my finger on why, it is usually for a reason that will become apparent at some stage. So I try to go by that instinct as it is usually right.

Mother Earth is a prankster. I used to follow my intuition until I ended up pregnant and married to a con artist, estranged from my parents, working dead end job even though I had 2 degrees.
Now I truly go against my gut instincts and do the opposite. Things have righted themselves and I regret ever believing the whole ethereal, magical, mystical notion of answers just coming to you and started using my brain.

I can't be sure if my gut instincts are always right. I may have a feeling not to go somewhere at a certain time and I don't know what would have happened if I did. However, my mom wanted to take me and my brother out for a drive when I was a kid and I had a horrible feeling about it and begged her not to do it. She went anyway, had a car wreck and has had migraines almost daily ever since.

More often than not, your intuition (gut instinct which is different from your heart) is correct. You have it for a reason. It's the interpretation and execution that can be right or wrong.

i don't think of you're gut instinct is often good yet each so often that's going to likely be good. each so often you're preliminary gut instinct is stimulated with the help of others evaluations and meant information helping there view on the subject and you hear such a great number of issues that as quickly as you're gut instinct seems to be perfect its because of the impression of others evaluations and not unquestionably you're own gut feeling.

I agree "gut instinct" can be wrong in the words of Bob Dylan "every mans conseince is vile and depraved you can not depend on it when it's you that must keep it satisfied". It's those people who've learned to serve their maker outside themselves that grow and mature in their understanding of God's will. I think "following your heart" and "intution" are interchanged according to temperment. I think maturity looks and abides not focused on others but on an eternal truth forged by fire but needed to inflict it on no other.

Nine times out of ten, my gut instinct is right. I wish I would pay more to attention to it!
