How do we envision and get a handle on what our brains cannot perceive, or think about? We use abstract words to "stand for" what we are pointing at....but cannot actually touch, see, or describe.
Were you aware that the term "Intuition" is an "abstract word"? That is, a word that points to something that does not exist on the physical plane. And since it does not exist on the physical plane, your brain cannot perceive it! I bet you never thought about this before, or if you have... perhaps you could not take your thinking very far?
Let us begin by clearly stating that "thinking" is a process which involves ones brain [and sometimes ones MIND as well, or at least the DM=SI of the MIND]. Thinking is a physical process that includes some electro-chemical aspects to it, but the entire process is confined to ones physical brain, and the physical plane itself.
By contrast, ones intuition takes place ONLY within ones "Apapsyche" [Operational Energy of ones Soul]... explained here. Everyone, well, almost everyone, has heard of the concept of "Intuition", right? But, how many know what the term "intuition" actually means? I suspect not many.
The reason we know the term and not what this term means is that the term is an "abstract term". That is, it is a term that was created to "stand for" something that most people believe exists... but few people actually "Know" that intuition exists because only a few people can actually "experience" it as different from thinking. And these people "Know" this because they are capable of using intuition. Not everyone is capable of accessing the faculty of intuition, and the question is... how come?
Out of habit, we tend to "think" that we know what abstract terms mean because we can remember and use the abstract term, define it, and use it in a sentence. But when really pressed to explain what we "think" we know, we must admit that we do not actually "Know" what we thought we knew. The fact is, very few people actually Know [that is, are capable of experiencing what the abstract term refers to]. How come this is the case is the question?

To comprehend what I am talking about, the reader will have to discover a new concept that is a written account of an Esoteric process that hardly anyone knows about. Click HERE to do this research.
I wish to try and share a most peculiar thing about the concept of "intuition". Because the entire process of intuition takes place within the Esoteric dimension of ones Spirituality, and has absolutely nothing to do with "thinking", the intellectualism in America tends to completely ignore the concept of intuition. It is rarely spoken of, not taught, and those youth within whom it is naturally active are ridiculed, scorned and mocked until these youth deny their own Spiritual gift [that they have spent many lifetimes developing]. Such is the level of fear of the Esoteric dimensions of Man in America, and in much of the world today. For more on this phenomenon, you can research HERE .
Surely each reader has at sometime intuited something? But wait a moment, how does intuition differ from simply remembering something one has momentarily forgotten that is stored within ones brain?
Allow me to quote the following from my favorite book: The Path of the Masters, by Julian P. Johnson: "The student is taught by the Vedas, and by the Masters also, to practice Viveka, 'discrimination'. But there is a very high degree of discrimination which is not attained until the soul illumines the buddhi. When the ordinary faculty of discrimination is quickened by the direct rays of the spirit, we generally speak of that as intuition."
Here Dr. Johnson, is speaking of the "buddhi", which means intellect.
Dr. Johnnson then says: "The Western psychologist may call this "reason combined with intuition". But it is simply the buddhi, the intellect, quickened by spirit to an unusual degree."
I quote Dr. Johnson, for two reasons. One is that I have found his writing to be pointedly correct, and secondly, he was an authority on Eastern mysticism, which explains much more of the Psychology of Man that modern mental health can even imagine. Intuition is the name for a different state of understanding that, as Dr. Johnson pointed out, is a part of ones "buddhi" [or intellect], but a part that is quite beyond mere intellectualism. So for clarification I separate the intellect from ones faculty of intuition. Additionally, I speak of the operation of the Apapsyche [Operational Energy of ones Soul], which I have not as yet found referred to...save the term "buddi". But I find the term "buddi" [which is defined as "intellect"] confusing and misleading relative to the strictly Spiritual dimension of the faculty of "Intuition". And since I believe intuition to be a faculty or operation of ones Apapsyche, it is useful to maintain it as separate from the intellect.
Indeed: It seems much more reasonable to me that the Hindi term "buddhi" refers to ones ability to "know". As in, that which Rene Descartes sought when declaring his "I am", because he thought that "I am" did his thinking. Alas, Descartes failed to push beyond "I am" to that which allowed him to be aware of his thinking. What allowed Descartes to be aware was the Awar Aspect of his Apapsyche .
Of course the "separation" I suggest between ones thinking and ones intuition is much too subtle to be perceived easily, or even "naturally". There are those, like myself, with a peculiar ability to use intuition to observe the operations of the MIND. And therefore, one must take on "faith" what I suggest relative to the Psychology of Man. And, I always remain open to being questioned regarding what I suggest is true. I rarely state something is true if I am not certain of it being so. That is, I "Know" it to be True, otherwise I say "I believe this to be true".
For most people, even those who are quite open to the Esoteric dimensions of Man, what I propose as true regarding the Esoteric operations of Man, must be taken on faith. The reason is one of "experience". With over thirty years dealing with and studying the Esoteric dimensions of myself and others, there is little I have not experienced [upon the rung of the Ladder of Life upon which I am perched]. What I have experienced as True, is True because it has been my experience. Even at that, I remain open to awakening to a new and more Esoteric Truth. Because I am far from reaching the top of the Ladder of Life.
For everyone, ones view of life is from a "perspective" of sorts, and what does that viewing is ones Apapsyche. Or the Operational Energy of ones Soul. This faculty is Spiritual in nature, which means it exists within ones Spiritual realm or dimension. It is therefore beyond the perception of ones brain or ones MIND. It exists, and yet it cannot be "proven" to exist by other than ones own experience.
It a faculty of ones Apapsyche that I refer to as "Intuition". This faculty of intuition is the means by which one can access ones store of [Virtues] Conscience, Discretion, Knowledge and Empathetic Understanding, or CDK&EU. That is, all that one has obtained [and holds entirely as Esoteric phenomena within ones Apapsyche per se] as a consequence of having experienced and "completed" Karma over many, many lifetimes. I refer to this accumulation of experiential Reality by the phrase "Spiritual Understanding". In total, it might be called "Knowledge". The accumulation of this CDK&EU is what allows one to ascend the rungs of the Ladder of Life... My imaginary creation upon which I have hung all the various phenomena of the Esoteric processes of Life, in hopes of suggesting the Purpose of Life.
In my opinion we literally self-destruct when we allow those whose only achievement in Life is intellectualism to head and teach our children. To expect those whose fear of the Esoteric dimensions of Man, including that of intuition, to each our youth, is to unnecessarily subject our children to cruel and destructive punishment... applied in the guise of "discipline", and of course imposing upon them that which the intellectual believes to be "politically correct". Such a way to treat the precious gift of enlightened Souls. But in an environment where the inherent fear of intellectualism drives the majority to fear Spirituality, and the Esoteric dimensions of Man generally, what else would we expect? The problem is one I refer to as "Intelack"... described Here.
