Intuition does not have the limitations of our thinking. There is no need for reasoning. There is no need to assemble ideas together to go from A to B. Intuition is direct knowledge. You fly from A to B. You just KNOW that you are in danger or that somebody is not trustworthy. You KNOW that this car is going to change lanes. You KNOW that something is not safe. It is through intuition that we relate to our pets, to the forest, to the flowers, to the sunset, to music… It is also the most powerful way to relate to each other.

Thinking isolates. Intuition unites.

Not only is our intuition very limited but we discredit it. If a woman wants to justify buying a dress, she is not going to say: “I fell in love with that color”. She would rather say: “I have nothing to wear - It was on sale - It matches the color of my shoes…”. She knows that she needs an explanation that will be accepted, and intuition is not one of them.

Let’s keep the thinking where it belongs. It is very well adapted to making a chain of ideas based on facts. Our thinking was born from our interactions with the material world. It started with our ancestors’ making tools. At that stage we were guided by the laws of nature. It was a safe place to start. As human thinking became more elaborate, we distanced ourselves from nature. We wanted to be free and that included freeing ourselves from the laws of nature. This is a growing problem. We are replacing the laws of nature with intuition. Women seem more gifted than men in this domain. They know that men should not be left alone. If some day you find it difficult to choose between feelings and ideas, go for the feelings. They come from a level above us. Chances are that they are more in 'alignment' with nature.

We need a mixture of thinking, common sense, intuition, ideas, instinct, hunch, presentiment. We could call it ‘consciousness’. If we could be fully conscious of everything surrounding us, this level of increased consciousness could replace the verification by experiments.
