A common flaw of the modern times we live in is its effect on our awareness of our very own inner body clocks. Before factories and schedules and the corporate world, we didn’t have this obligation to be somewhere, especially a place (like a job) that usually wasn’t our divinely inspired preference to be in this life.
How do you force something that is unnatural (like work schedules imposed on us from without) ? You start making use of man-made machines to force this behaviour out of us. Or specifically, in this case, appliances like alarm clocks to wake us up.
In Three Magic Words, U.S. Andersen mentions certain laws of rhythm, or movement, that are inherent in each of us, and that are also part and parcel of the Universal Subconscious Mind, which we are a part of.

Time moves in accordance with these laws, and who is there who has not been able to wake himself from a sound sleep at an appointed hour simply because he consciously desired to before he went to sleep? Some never-sleeping presence wtihin us keeps an eye on the clock or simply on the movement of the universe, and if we desire to be awake by six, so we are. Nature has thus fashined the most reliable alarm clock of all, but our dependence upon mechanical contrivances dulls this faculy as it has dulled so many others.

Listening to our bodies is a good first step to re-enabling this capability. It is higher-living at its best when you rely on the unswerving capability within you to serve you. Unfortunately, there is suffering associated with not making it in time the next morning at a job – a job that really has never done much more than keep the monthly payments going. As long as there is that ‘threat’ of punishment, and thus the reliance on alarm clocks to “keep us safe” from non-payment of the mortgage or rent, the freedom and the chance to ‘try this stuff out’ with our intuitive selves, just won’t exist.
Winding down, now, I am led to concluding the following in general:
Intuitively, somehow, we know (especially if we sit down in a quiet room and listen), that
We didn’t choose to temporarily “squeeze” our Soul Essence into a confine of flesh and bones so that we could drive these “flesh capsules” in a four-wheel machine, to a desk for 8 hours, and then back, for the sole purpose of making sure we had protection from rain and snow, and food to eat.
We have something we love to do, and this something, we notice, seems to always result in quality, and a shudder of excitement within our bodies, and a quickening of time, when we try doing this particular thing. The collective consciousness that – by default – rules our thinking if we don’t think for ourselves, says that we have to first establish some kind of security in a financial sense before we’re allowed to play. However, intuitively, we know that Playing, in the sense of sharing one’s gifts, results in the Universe allowing the natural flow of support back to the person so that the playing can continue, and so that massive amounts of people benefit from this playful creation ( what if Richard Bach decided not to let Jonathon Seagull loose? ).
The Source from which we originated from, knows so much more than we do as humans. Letting go of control of how abundance flows to us, is a great way
to see that abundance out-picturing in our lives. And this source has no fear or hang-ups. For instance, we humans don’t like getting traffic tickets or getting hung up in a slow line at the store. But the Intelligence that orchestrates certain events for the purpose of arranging necessary meetings or exposure to information, really doesn’t care about your ticket, and It doesn’t think you should. It just wants you to run into an old college friend at the courthouse, because It knows you need to meet him (and It already previously arranged a similar meeting, but you didn’t want to go to that potluck dinner, where another someone else equally necessary appeared, because you had a pimple that day).
To summarize, with another paragraph from Three Magic Words:
Can we, then, be geniuses, even as those the world has ever known? The answer is that we not only can, but we are! Great genius lies dormant in each of us, waiting to be awakened. We have only to take down the bars, unlock the door, invite our silent dweller forth. It is ourselves who have locked him within his prison, and he [or she] aspires to be set free. We build his cage and bars and lock each time we say, “I’m not good enough”, “I don’t know how”, “It’s too hard for me”, “I’m poor”, “I’m sick”, “I’m tired”, “I’m nobody.”. We make of this mighty mind a pygmy, cowering in his cell, forced to act and create all our negative fears and doubts into actuality and thus to reduce the template of the universe to a sorry, fumbling, fear-ridding speck upon the earth.
