How do you see and use intuition?

I'm open to anything but at the same time I am observing with a clear mind free from beliefs and in doing so.....sorry but no thng called intuition from something called 'divine'.
I do see the desire to see that though.
Nice to hear from you

Actually, how we perceive isn't as far about as you might think: http://www.spiritualforums.com/vb/sh...ad.php?t=43990 There has been more written since in the original blog on another board as this thread went unnoticed. I started with no preconceptions, just opened my awareness and sensed. For those who have a divine in their reality, it would make sense that such intuitive knowledge flows from there.

I don't believe in intuition, I KNOW it directly from experience. I can't say for certain where it comes from - it's just abundantly clear that it is not of my own making, i.e. from myself. (So, in that sense, I do have a flexible belief that the source may be from the divine or my higher self).

I wonder how you would appraise my experience of gaining intuitive knowledge from the divine, i.e. outside the limitations of my mind? When I can't find an answer to something, I occasionally get profound knowledge by being receptive, with an empty mind and gaining access to info that had not occurred to me, that is accurate and always profound.

I seem to fall in the middle of you and white shaman on how it's viewed.

Oh my god, the best thread.

Think of it as currents in an ocean with my whole being that ocean. For me, intuition can use all of it.

Absolutely! To me, intuition is a natural cognitive function that is far more easily experienced by those who are neurologically sensitive. Everyone utilizes it, but those born with an intrinsic 'openness' are far more likely to be aware.

Call it by whatever name you like, intuition to me is simply the brain's innate capacity to process its universal existence. It manifests for me as a sense of 'me' simply being an ephemeral blip within vastness of one. There is no beginning or end, per se—just a single seamless unspeakable something.

...seamless unmistakable self... I agree about the neurological sensitivity too. Note the link in my signature. It's more than just the brain, I directly perceive my energy self too, can sense through it, use it to connect and interact with the larger outer whole.

Whoa.

My god, the internet's a small world. Say hi to Nucky for me!

So for you, intuition is that putting together of it all from surface information and feeling like you've got it. It's just that sometimes you filled in the holes with assumptions so it came out wrong?

Refreshing!!!

Thanks Saggi; intuition is surprisingly hard to put into words, lol.

Intuition can be used to 'read' what you mean though, Skeptical

Hi skeptical :)
For me, intuition is inner knowing and is always accurate in relation to ones personal experience ... the private oracle, as it has sometimes been called. It can be very fleeting, or it can stand very still.

A dud result, I feel, is most often based on/derived from thought, and, when related to others, built on assumptions ...

I think it's being used to imply something like 'what I say is most certainly true because it comes from intuition'.

Yet it has come to my attention that many see the intuitive process differently, what they mean by it differs.

How do you define it and in what ways do you see it being used?
