Those of us who are sixth sensory, may often find that picking up on energy, truth and intention from people and places, can sometimes be daunting. In a mad search for clarity on what we are “picking up on” we attempt to throw at the wall a variety of situations that may be the “rotten egg” we smell. Not a bad idea as you attempt for further clarity, but not the best idea either.
I have recently learned that if you smell something bad, it is. Make it easy on yourself – trust your gut! Regardless of the crafty language or attempts to bypass confrontation (with projection or the false declarations) we tend to know if a person should be in our lives or not.
If you feel something is off, it probably is. You may never get the clarity you need, but you will make the right choice, as far as keeping your life filled with great people! And when in doubt, simply watch how someone treats the people closest to them. Do they treat them with integrity, honesty and forthrightness to the highest degree (not just their own rationalized degree)? And if not, WATCH OUT! You’re simply next! 
For example: my partner Paul and I (like any married couple) have our challenges and our delights. But the one thing I know (and its the only thing I really need to know) is that our mutual honesty at all times (regardless of the content) is the most valuable quality on the planet – to me. The honesty may make the mountains taller, but it also allows us to climb higher. In short, who you are with one person, is who you are with everyone.
…so, when in doubt, trust the gut. Its the fine print you can’t really read, but should!!
