II.   Mind (PSY)

An Intuition, also known as “insight” and a “hunch”, is a sudden sensed cognition without the use of conscious rational processes triggered by strong positive or negative emotional suggestion.

The word Intuition comes from the Latin word intuitus meaning “to look at; watch; to contemplate, consider or to admire”.

An Intuition is similar to impulse in that it is triggered by a strong emotional source either sensed externally or internally and is involuntary. However, unlike impulse, an Intuition does not imply any deep cognitive process, nor prior (apriori) knowledge or experience to justify how such an “insight” could be logically derived.

As a “sensed cognition”, Intuition is rarely fully formed cognition but instead frequently representing the emotion of honesty sensed within the intestines or truth sensed by the heart, often in conflict to other prevailing emotions.

As Intuition is frequently interpreted as emotions and physical reaction, rather than fully formed cognitions, it is misrepresented as a form of instinct.

Intuition occurs when the higher mind is momentarily unblocked by Ego and is able to provide information from the divine self to the consciousness.
