Intuition involves developing an acuity of perception. It engages creative thinking with hunches and possibilities. A special sense activates to grasp the invisible and provide insight. Flashes of thrill and understanding result without barriers of perceived notions.
David G. Myers, a psychologist, defines intuition as, "The capacity for direct knowledge and immediate insight, without any observation or reason."
Malcolm Gladwell, another expert, describes intuition as the "power of thinking without thinking."
Both encourage us to cultivate this undersung way of grasping our raw experience.
Myers also warns of the perils of intuition if it's untempered by logic and analysis, it can lead us down rabbit holes where we lose track of the difference between our fantasies and the real world. It can cause us to mistake our fears for accurate ESP or get lost in a maze of self-fulfilling prophecies.
What do you take from the abstract comments above? Would examples skew your thoughts? Consider your experience with intuition. How does it affect your life?
