Correct me if I am misunderstanding you, I can try again, it keeps the cogs of my mind oiled  |
I think that we are saying virtually the same thing but the words are getting in the way of communication.
I see your point though. There may indeed be a subtle difference between your definition of "knowing without thinking" ("intuition") and "the state prior to thoughts arising" (pure awareness). I often use the word "pure intuition" to ensure that one's personal stuff is not getting in the way of "pure awareness". I'm not sure if the differences in terminology here are significant.
I am guided by "pure intuition", which I consider to be connecting with the higher power through "purity of heart" and that may very well be the "pure awareness" of which you speak. I do use the terminology "pure awareness" as well as "pure intuition" and "knowing without thinking".
In any case, my sense is that we are in agreement but are just having difficulty with the terminology.
