Is INTUITION an irrational function as the common description of “gut feeling” might suggest? Or is it a perception through the subconscious?

One thing can be ruled out for sure

INTUITION originates as little from the gut as imagination and instinct does

INTUITION is also discussed in writings of spirituality and religion, there is an idea of a superior mind towards which a person’s spirit strives, or towards which consciousness progresses. INTUITION is looked upon as a link between earthly and higher knowledge and cannot be judged by logic alone.

But if the idea that intuitive impulses arise out of religious beliefs is dismissed, one is left to assume they originate with the five innate human senses. Again this does not explain how an intuitive individual can make decisions quickly without being able to define the reason.

So it is back to the questions of WHAT IS INTUITION and the MEANING OF INTUITION

One theory would suggest INTUITION being a collection of history and experiences perceived by the subconscious mind. Depending on the intensity of those perceptions the subconscious might make “snap decisions” called INTUITION be the conscious mind.

Another theory promotes the idea that INTUITION not only notes the experiences of the individual subconscious but of the Universe as a whole. The reason that some people are able to make the right decisions almost immediately might just be that these individuals are more in tune with their subconscious mind and therefore able to access the wisdom of the whole Universe on a subconscious level.

Whichever hypothesis one might subscribe to, one thing seems to be certain

INTUITION can be defined as an understanding or a knowledge without conscious claim to thought, observation or reason

Listen to yourself, take some quiet time to connect with your inner self, don’t be dismissive , PAY ATTENTION and FOCUS.

INTUITION is after all the ability to sense, visualize and feel. We are all born with INTUITION – remember when as a child you did not question what came into your mind, you just accepted any idea, even if it came out of nowhere -but most of us lose the ability as we grow up to “reality” and “reason”.

GET IT BACK

Whatever your approach to INTUITION – when you get that “gut feeling” act on it or not but do not try to analyse it – it will be lost in a flash – the subconscious does not like to be questioned!
