Your soul on its evolutionary journey acquires feelings, instincts and various forms of consciousness and now at the human stage self-consciousness and the power to reason. Yet the mental faculty you’re most likely to use in your day-to-day living is your feelings.
You rely on first impressions and hunches and make decisions based on gut instincts but the hardships of physical life have compelled your soul to develop reasoning skills. They’re the most effective way of escaping painful penalties associated with wrong decisions.
But objective intelligence is limited in its capacity to storm the gates of heaven.
Reason only gets a one-sided perspective – it cannot see the whole picture – and misses the side that can only be apprehended by intuition.
Intuition is an activity or perception of the soul, but because it so commonly reported the phenomena of the physical plane the ancients classified it as a physical sense along with the other five. Experience gained through these physical senses is the foundation of all knowledge of physical life.
And you rely on your five physical senses to provide you with knowledge of your physical life and your soul has psychic senses and intuitive intelligence which can report on physical plane phenomena.
But the chances are you so thoroughly rely on the reports of your physical senses and your power to reason that you’ve permitted your other forms of consciousness to atrophy. You neither heed nor recognize the reports of your various psychic senses.
It’s highly likely that you so completely rely upon your objective consciousness to bring together the reports of your physical senses that you have no knowledge or awareness of the bringing together of these reports in a more perfect mental process by your astral brain.
Intuition is your animal instinct reinforced by reasoning which draws its information from both the inner-plane and physical plane of life, and because it takes place in your astral brain its processes are almost instantaneous.
When intuition streams into your objective consciousness it’s a surer guide to action than the limited perceptions and ponderous processes of your physical brain.
Uranus is the planet of intuition
Objective awareness thinks things through. It grinds away seeking solutions to minor and major problems. But Uranus, the higher octave of Mercury, gives the ability to short-cut your reasoning.
The slow mental process of your objective mind is carried out by your soul aka unconscious mind which has more complete data at its disposal, and which acts almost instantly in drawing conclusions from them. These conclusions then stream into your objective consciousness as intuition.
Intuition is a reasoning process carried out by your astral brain that bypasses the grinding thinking associated with analysing mountains of data.
After gathering and integrating all that you know or have heard about a particular matter you unconsciously evaluate and assess the data and instantaneously assess correctly what is not immediately obvious and intuitively conclude that such and such will happen or will prove to be true.
Intuitive intelligence knows something or what to do without a reasoned analysis.
Patrick Matthew, the co-founder of the theory of evolution, had this to say: ‘To me the conception of this law of nature came intuitively as a self-evident fact, almost without effort or concentrated thought. Mr Darwin seems to have worked it out by inductive reasoning, slowly and with due caution.’
Intuitive awareness is called the sixth sense.
Intuition is also called subconscious knowing. It’s a super thought power but in an age that glorifies rational thought it’s acquired a dubious reputation with many great thinkers claiming it’s a primitive, inferior type of intelligence. They conveniently ignore all the errors their faulty reasoning has made.
And it’s superior to artificial intelligence: the ability of a digital computer to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings such as the ability to reason, discover meaning, generalize, or learn from past experience.
It’s highly likely in our brain crazy world that you’re over reliant on your objective thoughts and less heedful of your intuitive faculties. Maybe you have allowed them to atrophy. Maybe you think you’re using your intuition when you’re actually acting on a feeling.
Intuitive intelligence is often superior to reasoning and critical analysis and with training gets it right more often than reasoned thought.
So, it’s in your best interest to heed your intuitive intelligence and careful observation will reveal how accurate and reliable your intuition really is.
