Intuition

Apokalupto
Apokalupto: Intuition is not religious, spiritual, requires no beliefs and no certain lifestyle.

The "new age" movement want to spread the false idea that intuition is always true, or truth, and if it is not then it was not real intuition. This is a spiritual/religious belief and expectation being attached to intuition which is merely a psychological acquisition of unconscious content being perceived without knowing how you know or perceived it.

Apokalupto: New agers and spiritualists say all the time that "Intuition is not religious, spiritual, requires no beliefs and no certain lifestyle" but when you read their material or talk to them long enough eventually they will tell you that Intuition is infallible if it is real intuition, in other words, it is never wrong. But that is a religious belief, nor is it even correct, since intuition is the function of unconscious perception, meaning it is perceiving unconscious content that is coming to your awareness in a sudden way that you do not know how you know that you know or how you received it, but its still coming from your own mind albeit from a different layer, which is not infallible.

To say that intuition is never wrong is to say that you are never wrong as long as you are perceiving it through intuition. This makes you infallible in a sense. This is why they say that we are all divine and must connect to our higher divine self in order to receive these intuitions that are never wrong. This is religious belief. You may believe in that, but that is not actual intuition, and you may believe in that, but that does not make it true.

Greyfeather: What is intuition? If intuition is an unthinking process that can be correct or wrong, then it is not consistently true as you said.
"To say that intuition is never wrong is to say that you are never wrong"

But we must ask why is it sometimes true and sometimes wrong?
How does a person distinguish between correct and wrong intuition?
Sometimes we say that we feel something dangerous is going to happen, lets say that it happened, but that's something still not defined properly.

Some animals feel the presence of disasters before they happen, depending on certain characteristics. Intuition for a person maybe something like that, but not being able to understand it does not mean that it is not true.
A mistake is a possible thing, for example an animal feels certain vibrations that makes it ready to run away, but those vibrations may be occurred by someone who is making a noise and it's not really a disaster.
I tried it with pet birds when I was making some kind of vibration of music so they ran away according to certain vibrations.

The intuition maybe related to certain vibrations that the person senses, but it is not always correct because the vibration does not indicate a real danger"danger as an example" and therefore is not correct.

Today science proves the importance of these vibrations and their effect on the creation of the universe, so I think that intuition is linked to vibrations, also vibration is sometimes small like flowing blood in veins that you dont hear it directly..So as intuition predicts unseen or unheard vibrations, something automatic but not always true like senses, they dont give us always true information, like you see the moon is too small.

The senses tell us that the fire is hot, but they do not explain it to us but the mind does that..
Likewise, intuition. We know that we have an intuition, but we don't know what it is, if senses can be wrong I say that intuition is also can be wrong, you can collide in a clean door made of glass because you saw it as something doesnt exist, though senses are helpful and automatic but they dont give true explanation or true views of things, so I think intuition is something like that, you have eyes but you were wrong though , you may have intuition but also it maybe wrong based on some reasons one needs to learn..

yippeskippy: Intuition is simply immediate understanding without having to think it over. Not exactly sure it has anything to do with being true.

yippeskippy: in·tu·i·tion
/ˌint(y)o͞oˈiSH(ə)n/

the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning.
"we shall allow our intuition to guide us"

That's the definition I found.

Apokalupto: I'm not saying it's incorrect, but I am saying in addition, an intimate knowledge base can do the same. My point is that more clarification and definition is needed to really understand. Google definitions will never do justice in defining intuition. Fully understanding intuition is more complex than merely having an understanding of something without the need of conscious reasoning, tho for the non reader it shall suffice.

irishbat: one word summarizes it all... instinct. Plain and simple but we forget we have it, or push it aside and deny it and don't take heed.

irishbat: Instinct does not cause paranoia. Intuition does not cause paranoia. Intuition is a form of instinct. Paranoia defined is having fears of something or someone without any causation or reasonable justifications for the fear itself. We just don't look inward and accept the information that is lurking inside us.

smilingkiss: I was in Sri Lanka, we were sent there to install our program so we got our weekend off, as were walking there was a man was following us, but my german co-worker didn't believe me. So we went in the closes store we can find so were where there and so we start to browse around and the next thing this man followed us in the store and the owner asked him what does he want in their language ( which I do not know what they were talking ) so I stopped their conversation by saying" he is not with us and we do not know him " the owner said he was telling him he was your guide, I told him please call the police,,,, I was using my intuition and I do not understand the Tamil language.........now believe me when you need your intuition, you will know what to do.

Zanjan: Certainly instinct plays a large role in intuition.

For example, I have a Quaker parrot who’s never seen a snake but goes into panic mode whenever he spots anything that looks like it – a paper towel roll, a broom stick, or long-handled spoon. Dogs, fish, and other birds don’t bother him but if he looks out the window and sees a raven or owl, the panic alarms go off. He does the same if an intruding mouse runs along the floor.

Additionally, he panics at seeing a carboard box or a bag of groceries come into the room, a jug of milk pulled out of the fridge, or new bird toy placed on the table. My take is that birds must be ever-alert to what’s not normal in their environment. Instinct dictates that surprise abnormalities, sudden movements, and things one doesn’t understand *can* be dangerous. Fear is the natural response.

To intuit is to perceive and recall information. The very observant individual catches fine details and stores them in memory; if rarely used, they’re committed to the subconscious until such time as the mind requires them. I’ve often blurted out something then thought “Gee, I didn’t know I knew that”…….perhaps, I’d just forgotten or it was a quick deduction, linking only a couple of elements. In a group of excellent performers, I see one with something I can’t quite describe; I can tell you that one will become a star.

To intuit is to access the realm of common sense. For example, we read body language as a universal pattern – the eyes take a snapshot and match it to the right scenario. A hunch is based on a few things we already know; the mind jumps ahead to likely outcomes and draws one out of three. Mostly, it’s a guesstimate. I wouldn‘t fly in a blizzard but some have done so; some of them never reached their destination.

Finally, there’s the creative aspect of intuition.
I intuited (detected) there was a need to fix a long-standing situation; so, a vision formed in my mind of what the remedial device should look and feel like and how it should function (common sense).

Maybe the idea was inspired by something in a book/film or some other relatable contraption. Let’s say I had half a dozen failures while developing the prototype; but, if the result is successful and this device comes flying off the shelf, someone’s bound to say my intuition was excellent.

Zanjan: That said, I'd never confuse intuition with psychic reception.

Sometimes I do get knowledge from another mind, a mind who's identity is unknown. I can tell because of the nature of the material - it was impossible that I could ever have had exposure to that kind of information. I never take personal credit for that - its too valuable to lose.

Zanjan: The brain communicates with itself by transmitting chemicals plus hormone to the neurons.
Emotion effects the brain (and body) instantly by flooding the brain with excessive amounts of the above. That creates a mind-fog so you can't think straight - your brain has switched to instinct mode.

Fortunately, we can have control of that - we can stop and push emotion right out of the way. THEN we can think clearly and act in a wise and civilized manner. Impulsive individuals need extra training to control their nature - the younger this is done, the better.

Psychology has been informed by unbiased observation - while it can locate the source of a difficulty, it can't remedy the situation. For that, one needs to turn to religious education and practice.

Zanjan: I wouldn't say that. Intuition is a kind of insight - not something one can teach. I don't think one is born with it as a talent, only as a potential capacity........I think it's learned out of necessity.

I've worked with the developmentally delayed, those with mental illness, kids with FASD, and Alcholics and drug abusers. My eldest son is Autistic.

I'm just an ordinary mom. In all those years I worked with Psychiatrists and Psychologists to help my son, I didn't get ONE thing from them I didn't already know. Aside from a single tip from a nurse, I intuited all of the solutions myself. He grew up a well-balanced, law abiding citizen with a good job; he's married, has numerous friends, owns his own home, and is debt free.

That's more than I could have predicted or imagined. What I learned from all of that is I was a better mom than I thought.
