Intuition

[Anonymouse]

This was another thread I posted at another forum, but I thought I should reproduce it here.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Intuition is simply an expression of the cosmic mind in man through the attunement of the inner self with the universal cosmic mind. The mind itself has potential faculties that can enable it to hear, see, feel, taste, and smell without depending upon the sense of the faculties of the physical body. These higher faculties also transmit certain impressions. These impressions are different from our physical senses. These impressions are very much subtle and the average person ignroes them, because they are often vague, and indefinite as compared to the distinct and familiar impressions transmitted by the physical senses. Intuition is knowledge transmitted to our mind and not limited nor affected by the physical senses. Not only do time and space not limit intuition, but neither do any other physical measurements. Therefore it is obvious that intuition opens up a vast new fountain of knowledge.

I would say that it is entirely possible to develop our intuitive impressions to such clarity and strength that they speak impressively and with conviction. It has been said that women have intuition and are more inclined to trust those impressions than men are, hence "women are emotional" or how mothers "feel" something is wrong with their child. Any one can search their inner self for an answer to a problem and find definite information which might not be obtainable any other way.

To develop your intuition I suggest an exercise that I was recommended. To tell the time of day, hesitate a few moments before looking at your watch or at a clock, close your eyes and become passive for a few seconds and give your intuitive sense and consciousness an oppotunity to express itself. Concentrate a moment on the question "What is the correct time?". The answer may come to your mind as a slight impression of the figures represnting the actual time, or you may feel in some other way that its 2 minutes after 4 or 20 mins to 2 or something of this kind. It is important to register the first impression which comes to you. Do not allow a second, third, or fourth impression to modify it. Then look at your watch or clock and see how nearly correct your impression is.
You might get a second or third impression when you ask the question but these are other impressions and are often the result of the minds analytical reasoning. For instance, your first impression may be that it is 16 minutes to 3, but imediately another impression will come to you that it cannot be that late becuse only a little while before it was 20 mins after 2, therefore, it cannot be more than 25 mins to 3.

In this way you'll notice at different times you will objectively tend to set aside the first impression from your intuitive sense. If the faculty of intuition is to be developed, it must be on the basis that the moment you ask a question of it you must give credence to its answer. You must not permit any reasoning or argument to take place and modify the first answer given. Of course ioull find that many of our first answers wrong at the beginning of this little exercise because the intuitive impression will not be vivid enough, and youll be getting an impression so vaguely from the intuitive sense that you will miss it and take the answer from the objective senses instead. Gradually though youll find that through proper concentration and poassivity for just a moment, youll permit your intuitive consciousness to express itself.

I've always been able to guess the time pretty accurately. There is no need to focus for a few moments.

[Anonymouse]

It's for heightening your intuitive sense. Some people are not as intuitive as you perhaps.

[Inna]

so let me get this straight..if I'm taking a multiple choice test and my intuitive senses tells me the answer is A, yet my reasoning says the answer is C, should I still go with my intuition and pick A??

[Anonymouse]

You should first develop your intuition yes. Hence I was always told of the advice on multiple choice tests back in elementary, "always go with the first answer". More often than not it is true.

[Inna]

More often than not it is true.

unfortunately in my case it isn't :(
every time I go with my "intuition" I get the wrong answer, or it might happen the other way around and the one time I do decide to go with my reasoning it just happens to be the wrong answer, and my intuition was the correct answer...multiple choice test suckx :crying:

[sleuth]

Intuition...where is intuition there is no logic...because logic proves,but intuition discovers.Its really hard to be connected to intuition,because reasoning is just there.

thats a great treasure we have inside of us,its a gift of nature,our 6th unknown sense which leads and helps us in many ways( personal develpoment,reliationships,learning...).

my case is a bit different...my intuition never failed but i always betray it by giving a chance for second thought or as anon stated second impression.Human nature :when we discover something,we have to prove it with our logic and logic is strongly connected with reasoning.And i agree with anon.. the best way to develop your intuition is practice otherwise its getting rusty...

Do you have enough power to develop and master intuition ?heheheheh...thats a whole philosophy :)

[loseyourname]

You either know the answer or you don't. I can't see any way that intuition is going to help you on a multiple choice test. Time of the day is one thing. People have thousands of hormonal and enzymal cycles they can hook into to tell them that. You aren't just going to pull the name of the inventor of the cotton gin out of the air. However, if you were there for the lecture, or if you read the book, the answer is in your memory somewhere. It may not be in the front of your consciousness, or even in your consciousness at all, but it's there. I suppose you can "intuitively" recall it without being conscious of the recollection.

unforutantely intuition doesn't do math :).its our inner voce and sixth sense that we can use for our personal development.for tests and exams rely on your analitycal mind and brain.If you don't know the answer u can rely on logic...but not on your intuition.Intuition is more spiritual leader...if we are spiritually attuned intuition is right there to tell us and lead us and help us to make right choice or decition..Don't tempt intuition with your tests where u need your logic or analitycal mind...very simple example....do we use legs to grab a food?? No ...we have hands... :) .Intuition is devout sense.

You apparently need to do some reading on intuition. This isn't just confined to tellin of the time. Even during business houres of the day or during social hours at home youre phone rings, instead of immediately answering the phone, hesitate for a moment and ask yourself who might be calling, or what is it about. Then wait for an intuitive immpression from your inner self. Its important that the first impression you get is the one you stick with and accept. If you get wrong answers the first 20 times, dont let it discourage you, keep trying until you discover that more and more the answers are becoming dependable. It's like anything else, it takes time to train and develop that "sixth sense" that we rarely rely on. You can put this exercise to use throughout the day in dozens of ways to heighten your sense.

Likewise, you shouldnt wait around sit down all day waiting for an answer to come gradually, if anything from intuition is to be developed it has to be instantaneous. It must reach the point where you ask what time of day it is, and you have an answer before you can complete the question.

Anonymouse, for a person who makes strong claims against topics like evolution and the scientific method, it is fascinting to see how you can pull a complete 180 and talk of the "cosmic mind" and "the transmission" of certain impressions through non physical means and then present a thesis as to how obvious it is how these things "open up vast new fountains of knowledge".

You make it sound like these hypotheses are backed up by mountains of facts :laugh:

I don't question that our minds have the ability to formulate answers to questions they have never seen before. That is probably the single most significant factor that differentiates us as thinking beings from machines and objects. But to make the leap and conclude that this is the product of some cosmic transmission or a higher mind at play is streching things a bit too far in my opinion.

We observe, we learn, we build knowledge, we develop certain skills ... then we utilize ALL these as well as our deductive, creative, imaginative, and inventive abilities to go beyond strictly what we have learned to arrive at "new" knowledge.

You're forgetting that his standard of evidence is a lot lower for his own pet hypotheses. The fact that human embryos have gills at one point, even though they serve no function, is not evidence for evolution. However, if some people can sometimes tell who is calling them before they pick up the phone, this must mean that they are tapping into some universal source of knowledge.

[hyebruin]

understanding intuition is not something attained through intelligence, and trying to 'prove' its existence to those holding mechanistic views on reality is a pure waste of time and energy!

I see I have damaged your psyche so much in that evolution thread that you need to make constant references to it. I know you are the least intuitive person so I don't expect much of a contribution from you in this thread, but if you wanna whine about evolution go to the proper thread. Second of all, gill marks don't mean anything really.

[sleuth]

Intuition is thought that comes from our subconscience.
Insticnt is an action,not thought. you ACT on instinct,you dont THINK on instinct.
Only because we derive intuition from our subconscience,it doesnt mean its not a THINKING.
Instinct is a kind of body knowing that is very action-oriented. It's a knowing how to move, react, and do without thinking about it or pondering why you need to act that way.
Intuition seems to me to be something that just "comes to you", in the form of a discovery or realization. It has much more of an awareness to it than instinct.

Instinct is a some sort of behaviour ....intuition is inner voice ,that helps u discover and realize...

[Sip]

Interesting way of looking at it. :)

[Anonymouse]

The great trouble for centuries has been that man, in his infinite skepticism, does nto listen to his inner self and finds no time for silent concentration and attunement.

[loseyourname]

The man who thinks an upright walking terrestrial creature having embyronic gills and a tail (despite the fact that neither is ever used) means nothing is criticizing skepticism?

[loseyourname]

Come on, man. All I'm asking for is some intellectual honesty here, a little bit of integrity. I could care less what you believe, but at least hold all hypotheses to the same standard.

[Anonymouse]

You seem to be constantly whining about this "gill" issue, when not even the most evolutionists cling to it. The fact that a human embryo in its early stages goes through "fish stages" of "gills", a "tail", means nothing. So what? We learned this in middle school. The question is, does it mean anything of significance? During fetal development there are certain folds not entirely gills in the truest sense of the word, that resemble a fish embryo but as we progress and develop it stops. In fish it develops into gills, in humans into the glands and structures of the ear, neck, etc. If there would be any truth in this assertion that we evolved and are related to fish the gills would evolve into lungs. As far as the "tail" it is a purely regular thing, the coccyx, or 'tail bone" which is an important fully human feature. Nothing about the human embryo suggests to me that it is not unque to humans. Get over it. While we're on integrity, if you truly wanted to uphold integrity you wouldn't have dragged this issue in the evolution thread, instead of ruining a perfectly good and different thread.

I have already stated everything is based on belief, based on our consciousness. Reality is determined by our consciousness. So with that said, this thread is about intuition and all things that flow from it. If you want to whine about evolution, go to the proper thread if you have nothing to contribute in this thread, which seems to be the case.

[loseyourname]

My intuition tells me you're wrong. My consciousness has determined it.

[loseyourname]

By the way, pharyngeal gill slits are a defining characteristic of the phylum chordata, to which both humans and fishes belong. Only in chrondrichtyes and osteoichtyes are the gills used for breathing. In other classes, they are used for feeding. In mammals, they are vestigial and exist only in the embryonic stage.

[Anonymouse]

By the way, remove this crap to the proper thread.

[loseyourname]

Then address the reason I actually brought it up. Why is your evidential standard lower for your own pet hypotheses than for those you oppose?

[Anonymouse]

Lower? I won't answer that because it does not deal with the thread, nor does your question make sense, which you will contend otherwise. There is no "standard" about this. You cannot "empirically" "prove" intuition. Now leave the thread since youre of no use here, as usual. Stick to threads which deal with mechanical empirical explanations of the world. This thread is for those already accepting the concept of intuition or familiar. Those whining about mechanistic explanations make another thread.

[loseyourname]

People who use intuition consisently being right wouldn't constitute empirical evidence? This isn't the intution forum. Skeptics are just are welcome as believers. In fact, if you had any integrity whatsoever, you would want skeptics.

[Anonymouse]

Skepticism is not the same as whining about evolution in a thread dealing with intuition. With that said, this is basically where I draw the line with you and Seapahn or any other person who buys into your explanations of reality. You adhere to the age old concept of treating man as a biological chemical entity, whereas I see him as a spiritual being. Therefore, I find it pointless to even discuss this with you since you have no idea where I am coming from nor where I am bringing this discussion from, nor where it is intended to go or how to be received, or how it might serve someone. If you want to contend that this has no evidence, you're right, you can't "map it" or put it in a nice algebraic equation, so stop asking stupid questions about "pet theories".

[Anonymouse]

To truly master the art of concetration and attunement requires practice, like sharpening your intuition, like playing baseball, like anything else. It is concentration that gives your self inspiration and fulfillment. What comes to you then, inspires you, what you think and whatever thoughts you receive and send are powerful for good or bad. After months of pratice you will see the mysteries of the universe open to you through this art of meditation.

People often think that this is some simply or easy thing that they can do on their own, sort of like flushing the toilet, but it is not. Those who practice physical and mental meditation, even then only a few get it down to a science and master it and reap its full results. People all try to concentrate, or meditate, whether its before games, or events, or a competition they have, or other things, people all, even if they fail, realize that they must reach to the kernel of inner truth and that is only within themselves. That's why there are thousands of self-help books and books dealing with meditation and such. It is a great help in all our daily affairs of life, for maintaining health, success, and creating happiness, and exuding that positivty.

The rules for concetrating are so simply yet so confusing. The first thing to have down if you want to seriously begin concentrating, is purpose. You have to ask yourself why you wish to concentrate. You must have a definite purpose in mind and it must be one single purpose, one reason for concetration, one thing, one subject, one idea, one cause, one result, one intention. You must focus your full mental powers on that one thing. You cannot have several desires or purposes in one act of concetration. That is the most serious mistake taht people make and believe that so long as they are about to devote an hour to silent concentration its feasbile to combine several purposes. But this very combination of different thoughts negates and prevents concetration and focus. There has to be only one thought in mind.

Man, you just got up on the wrong side of the floorboard today, didn't you? I don't contend that there is no evidence for this. When did I ever do that? I said exactly what would constitute evidence. I don't see how it would be so difficult to find something suggesting that there is truth to your claim. My guess is you have nothing, but I'm sure there must be something out there. Do a little searching.

By the way, I don't why you are having so much trouble understanding why I've posted about pharyngeal gill slits and such. My point is only that, on the one hand, you will accept no evidence whatsoever for a theory that you find personally incredible. On the other hand, you will accept nothing more than your own intuition regarding the truth of your claims about intution. Surely you can see how that is question-begging.

I don't see why a dialogue between us should be so difficult. I have never rejected the possibility that man is a spiritual being, but if he be so, surely the truths regarding his spiritual nature must be communicable through some means other than platitudes.

You are confusing two things - the self, and some mechanistic equation of reality called evolution, one a spiritual worldview, the other a biological worldview. In the process of the above paragraphs you went on to mischaracterize my position, by carefully constructing sentences to form an argument to somehow show "question begging". I will only state that you are wrong, and that I will only go into this in the proper thread. Once again, remove this to the proper thread, are you not a moderator? Talk about integrity...

[loseyourname]

This is the proper thread! I'm asking for something to back up your claims about intuition. You give intuition. That is question-begging.

[Anonymouse]

Now you change from the evolution aspect to "asking me to back up my claims" on intuition in order to justify ruining a thread. You're getting redundant. You do not buy into intuition, you might as well leave the thread since you are only taking up diskspace. I already said there is no way you can prove intuition per the biological/chemical/mechanistic worldview which you subscribe to. Therefore there is no question begging other than you saying so, which leaves me wondering why you're here in this thread. You are indeed ruining the vibes of the thread. It was meant to be spiritual/inspirational, and you are bringing your tired old rants that deal with the biological/chemical/mechanistic explanations which I already said don't coincide with the spiritual worldview.

[Anonymouse]

A second aspect for proper meditation and concentration is motive. One must consider the motive in seeking that upon which you wish to concentrate. Are you seeking something for "self" alone? If so then your purpose may fail, since this cannot be confined to selfish purposes only. Your motive therefore has to have benefits for others as well as yourself. Its not wrong to desire something of personal gain as long as you intend and expect to use that for the benefit of someone else. If you desire a new car, or some material asset, it's not improper if you allow others to share its pleasures with you. To desire that which only brings success to you, but something that may benefit your friends and family is what should be the focus.

Third one must consider whether the things you seek are deserved. Every child at one time believes those things which the parents held back from them, they deserved, and there is no happiness unless the child has that one thing. Then when we got it, after a week, or month, we forget that we ever wished for that thing which at one time the parents withheld from us. So it is with our lives that we long and wish for things which in the long run may work to our disadvantage, and it is important to consider that it is one concentrates and meditates on, to be something of a spiritual value for the long run.

Do you ever bother reading what is actually posted? I didn't ask for material evidence. I just said to demonstrate that people who use your technique have a tendency to be right.

Furthermore, I don't come in with any bias against the existence of intuition. If that was the case, I would not have cited the general reliability of my own. Think before you post, Mousy. Think.

You cannot prove intuition works in others. The only way you will know is if you seek in your inner self. The only testament to it working is yourself, and the only verification you have is you, for intuition is something that emanates from within your soul, not someone else, and the only person whos inner self you are connected to is your own. Before you ask silly questions, why not read what I wrote initially to understand how to develop it and practice it to see. Don't think, feel.

[loseyourname]

All right, man, if you really think individual beings are that isolated from one another that they can never hope to have a meaningful dialogue about this. I still don't why there can't be any indication that people with well-honed intuition have a general tendency to be right. I'm not asking for anything on a physiological level here. I desire no explanation of how this works. I know they've done similar studies to what I'm looking for with clairvoyants and with people who claim the ability to perform astral projection. I have no idea how reliable they are, but I know the studies exist. This is how credibility is attained - through demonstration. If you just come in here making claims that aren't backed up by anything, what reason does anyone have to listen to? Why do you think you're made fun of so much and people don't like engaging in discussions with you? Look at this. I'm not even taking a view opposed to your own, and yet you immediately jump on me. It's like you don't even want a dialogue; it's your way or the highway. If that's the case, you'd be better off posting to an online journal rather than a forum.

If you had been an honest chap about this, read my thread, practiced on your intuition, you would see why it is right, why it can roughly guess the time of day, after practicing. With that said, that was only an example and it can be applied to daily things in life, it's called your 'first impression'. If you don't think it's "reliable" then don't bother. What makes you think "reason" and the "five senses" are reliable? They fail just as much. I'm frankly beginning to get tired of your regurgitated nonsense, and if I'm made fun of so much, by who I ask? I don't recall that. Perhaps people can't engage in a discussion with me even if they chose to, since some of the stuff might well exceed their mental capacity to comprehend.

Why do we at times experience uneasiness in the presence of some person, without any apparent cause? The human organism radiates energy, psychic energy, or vibes. This is an aura, a field of supersensitivity surrounding the body. our thoughts and emotions continually vary the vibratory nature of this psychic aura.

This aura can and does impinge upon the inner self of others. They can be immediately drawn to you, sense a feeling of personal magnetism emanating from you. Likewise, the auras of otehrs can and do react upon your aura. The inner personality of persons attracts or repels you regardless of what their outer appearance may be. You experience their sinceirty, kindness, and depth of character, or lack of it, even without their spoken word.

We're all subject to these psychic radiations of people daily. It can account for our moods, even our intuitive impressions. This is a natural phenomenon, part of the subliminal, mysterious inner powers of self which everyone has, but few understand. This is why sometimes, without any cause, our first impression of someone is uneasiness and we don't feel relax. Trust your first impression, your intuitive sense.

[dusken]

There is no reason to believe that people emit a psychic anything other than discomfort with the idea of chance and coincidence. If you want to have faith in ideas proposed by ignorant people who want to invent answers because they cannot stand not having any then so be it. But come out and say that you are chosing to be irrational because it makes you feel more warm and fuzzy about life; do not state such things as irrefutable facts.

The Hindu Master Thayumanavar once said:

"You may control a mad elephant;
You may sht the mouth of the bear and the tiger;
Ride the Lion and paly with the cobra;
By alchemy you may earn your livelihood;
You may wander through the universe incognito;
Make vassals of the gods, be ever youthful;
You may walk on water and live in fire;
But control of the mind is better and more difficult.

My intuition is killing me

[SagGal]

Some people say that you shouldn't use your intuition for everything but be more realistic and look at what is given to you. Your intuition relaxes your mind and you are sometimes certain of getting the right answer. It's a bit hard to explain. I think I'm having writer's block today. :(
...my intuitive senses tells me the answer is A, yet my reasoning says the answer is C, should I still go with my intuition and pick A??Inna's example is helpful. Her intuition told her that the answer is "A." Well, there must have been a reason why she thought the answer was "A", even though her reasoning told her the answer is "C." In this case, she should go with her reasoning.
You should first develop your intuition yes. Hence I was always told of the advice on multiple choice tests back in elementary, "always go with the first answer". More often than not it is true.Always go with the first answer if it follows your reasoning. For example, you got your answer, it looks (most likely is) correct, so don't go and look at other choices because that will make you confused.
