When My Son Disappeared, Why Wasn’t I Scared?
By Chris Cade on Nov 5, 2009 in Spiritual Development
First of all, I want to thank the many many people who emailed me to share your thoughts about my post "the story about when I lost my son" I have been deeply touched by your responses, and I greatly appreciate you sharing your own stories, insights, and perspectives about the experience.
What I shared in that story, however, was only touching the surface of both the experience and the lessons learned. And because there has been so much interest in that story about my son Quantum getting lost in our neighborhood, I’ve decided today to share more about it… and to go deeper than before.
Specifically, let’s look at why as a parent I was not worried… at all.
Now pause and think about that for a moment.
My child had disappeared completely, I had no idea where he was, and I wasn’t concerned… not even just a little bit. I wasn’t worried that he might have been kidnapped, or he might get lost and never find his way back home. I wasn’t worried that a car might kill him. I wasn’t worried that a dog might bite him. And I wasn’t concerned he might be drowning in one of the large ponds in our neighborhood.
I wasn’t worried at all. Why not?
The simple answer is that I didn’t feel anything was wrong. My intuition wasn’t concerned, so I knew things would be okay.
I understand that an answer that simple may be a stretch for some people… and to be frank, it used to be a stretch for me as well. Throughout my life, I often felt these "hunches" but they were illogical, so I ignored them. But every time I had a "hunch" and I ignored it because it didn’t make sense, I ended up getting me in trouble.
Then when I was in my early 20′s, I realized that what I was doing just wasn’t working, and I decided to try something different. Instead, if I had a "hunch," no matter how illogical, I decided I would follow it and see what happened. After all, it couldn’t be worse than my previous results!
… And what I discovered was miraculous… I found an inner compass that was always right (though it took me nearly a decade to fully realize this Truth).
… And although I didn’t logically understand this feeling inside me, I did observe that it (the "hunch") knew what it was talking about.
As I continued to unlock my intuition, I observed something interesting: I really only noticed my intuition when it had REALLY BIG things it wanted to share with me.
Those BIG things could be either warnings of what to avoid, or glimpses of things to come. In fact, I knew before I met my former wife that I’d marry her (even my parents thought I was crazy when I told them that). And here’s how this relates to my son Quantum running away…
"Your intuition is the gateway to your vast and unlimited self, and all the wisdom, love and guidance you need to craft your life optimally."

When his mom first told me that Quantum had disappeared, the first thing I did was pause. I noticed that there was zero concern in me, and because I know my intuition communicates BIG things to me, the fact that it didn’t communicate anything to me was a clear statement that Quantum was okay and would continue to be okay.
"Becoming conscious of the internal dynamics of any situation is the first step on the path to transformation, and it is your heart that can reveal those in the most loving, profound and adept way."
— Aine Belton, Unlock Your Intuition
It was this internal feeling of "okay-ness" from my intuition that enabled me to act, instead of re-act. It enabled me to better embody the essential quality of curiosity… so that instead of making up a dozen fearful stories of what tragedy might happen to my son, instead I was able to make up a dozen delightful stories of the fun and adventure he must be experiencing.
(and one of those delightful stories was the actual truth)
Now you know why even though my son was lost, and we had no idea where he was, I wasn’t even the slightest bit worried. On Tuesday, I’ll share more about my experiences with intuition and go a little deeper… however for now, be sure to check out Aine’s "Unlock Your Intuition" at the link below:
