Dear Bogdan Góralski

I agree with you entirely. However as intuition is so important in the beginning of any research, as you well point out, it is surprising it has not been extensively researched or that it is not taught in schools.

Warm regards Tina

Which came first: the chicken or the egg? Intuition or proof? But intuition is nothing without the scientific proof.

Dear Bogdan Góralski,

You're quite right about the importance of intuition at the beginning of research and the hard work that should follow for proofs. I would like to add that good intuition most naturally comes from hard study.

Best regards,

Intuition in fact never "leaves" a person..it is an innate quality and I think that it is time to understand how more intuition will drive the decisions towards better solutions. Is it the environment that "shapes" a person's intuition? Is it gained through birth?

Dear Dorina Grossu

Is it the environment that "shapes" a person's intuition? Is it gained through birth?

Good questions. As babies we are highly intuitive as we follow guidance - first of all in growing ourselves a body and then responding to changes in the environment through cries or smiles. We have no thinking mind to say what we should or should not do. That is why children are often so delightful (and honest) with their assessments of people and situation.

But our schooling favours that we develop our rational minds, and often we over-ride what our intuition is telling us because it can contradict what we have learnt rationally. Also if nobody talks of intuition and its importance, we often do not know how to read the signals are body is sending us. (this is just one way Higher Nature or our deeper essence communicates with us (as ego identity)

Warm regards Tina

Dear Bogdan Góralski

Thanks for your question - it is relevant for if it is important at the beginning of research as you and others suggest, then we need to know how to develop it more. What I am doing now is researching the concept. We use the term which is defined as "the power or faculty of attaining to direct knowledge or cognition without evident rational thought and inference" (Merriam-Webster, n.d.a) however I am finding as soon as you open it up, it is multifaceted. According to Vaughn (1998) the human intuitive experience can be seen as falling into "four distinct levels of awareness: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual" (p 185). I now have a paper on this which is under peer review - so I hope to be able to share it with you soon. It really is an un-researched area and therefore very exciting to be in.

Warm regards Tina

Intuition, the blink moment can lead to breakthroughs and new ways of doing things. Intuition in research may provide the learned speculations which may prove to be true or false; but in either case, progress cannot be made without it and even a false guess may lead to progress.

Yes, the intuition can lead to remarkable results. However, It must be practiced according to a preliminary background.

Sometimes intuition may be confused with imagination which is misleading to the research decisions
