Since all information that has been generated in this universe appears in the "universal mind," people having intuitive insights get solutions from there. People with high levels of consciousness can learn and bring back useful information about the goings on in the universal mind. Such a person just seems to know things that other people don't know. These faculties arise either spontaneously or can be cultivated. |

Learning to trust our intuition is a matter of practice and risk taking. We will be rewarded for our correct decisions by a feeling of greater aliveness. Gawain states that we each have the truth within us. If we learn to trust our inner knowing, there is an intelligence within us that simply shows every step of the way. We need to get ourselves uncomplicated enough to do that. When we are able to do that, intuition will tell us each moment what is appropriate. |

|
The discipline of meditation offers a practice to access awareness of unconditioned goodness where intuitive insight flourishes. The practice is a way of resting the mind so that it may rediscover its origin and its harmonious integration with body and soul. It is a powerful tool for seeing clearly the nature of mind and perception and for training that perception. It is a training process which is natural and necessary if we are to now fully our human possibilities. |

There are two basic aspects to our experience: the bare, unconditioned, and unfragmented moment, and within that is differentiation, fragmentation. These two aspects corresponds respectively to intuition and intellect. Intuition is what is immediately felt; it is an esthetic sensing of the whole moment. Intellect conceptualizes, and thinks about this and that. Intuition and intellect are always copresent, but there can be an exaggeration or imbalance. The imbalance we experience in contemporary society is the overemphasis on the intellect. |

Sometimes when we perceive the world, we think a word first. But sometimes we perceive the world without language. So either we see the world through the filter of our thoughts, by talking to ourselves, or we look and see beyond language - as first perception. When we can afford to relax and perceive the world directly, then our vision can expand and see on the spot with wakefulness. In this way we return to an intuitive connection with the world. |

There are two ways to grow knowledge. One is to use the rational process by using the senses to observe, to connect with the world, to reason. The other is by a direct knowing process that we call intuition. Expert intuitives have developed their natural intuitive abilities into very strong skills. They use their intuition in a deliberate and conscientious way, not just in a sporadic, occasional, and usually weak way that others do. |

Playing the game, What is intuition? Intuition is true by definition. If a seemingly intuitive insight turns out to be wrong, it did not spring from intuition, but from self deception or wishful thinking. Webster's defines intuition as "the power of knowing, or knowledge obtained, without recourse to inference or reasoning, innate or instinctive knowledge; familiarly, a quick or ready apprehension.". |

In both Eastern and Western spiritual traditions, intuitive knowledge is recognized as the highest form of truth. Western mystics and Eastern gurus agree that reason is limited, and only intuition can apprehend ultimate truth. One begins to know things by a different kind of experience, more direct, not depending on the external mind and the senses. |

|
You can train your own intuitive faculty by learning to quiet your mind and listen to internal signals. Frances Vaughan says intuition involves a direct knowing without mediation by human senses or analysis. She points to several types of intuition - spiritual, emotional, intellectual and physical. |
