Thoughts on Intuition



Intuition can’t take place when we are biased. It only appears when we are in an unbiased or neutral state of mind. The moment we are biased or judgmental, we have taken a position, which invites opposing force to enter. Hence nothing can happen or manifest and intuition won’t appear. A neutral state of mind and objective perspective, which is the neutralizing force in that triad, is the prerequisite for the possible appearance of intuition.
We are very often told that we have to become more intuitive, or have to use our intuition more often. What we don’t understand is that intuition is part of a higher faculty and only appears on a higher level of consciousness. That is, a neutral state of mind automatically contains the reverberation of a more refined state of consciousness. We once said that everything has to be earned via conscious effort, and when we are told or want to be more intuitive or use our intuition more often, we won’t be able to do so out of our ordinary will and effort.
If I am telling you right now to be intuitive, that is to use your intuition, you won’t be able to do so, due to the fact that we don’t really know what intuition truly means to us. In our ordinary state of consciousness, in a state of ‘yes or no’ or ‘shall I’ or ‘should I’ and ‘either this’ or ‘better that’, we have to struggle with the law of opposing forces, which most of the time leads to a massive culmination of thought formations creating a vacuum, which intensifies the more urgent and desperate we try to come to a resolution.
The friction and our struggle within that vacuum forces our battling little ‘ME’s’ to surrender (neutralizing force), which leads to a release of the thought formation in form of a ‘Aha-moment’, in which we grasp all we have struggled with for so long in a moment of spacious perception, manifesting in form of the gift of a resolution. The rising energy of the ‘Aha’ is the vibration of intuition, which is a finer or higher faculty within the third body (1st body is the physical, 2nd body is the psychological and 3rd body is the eternal body). So we usually struggle and work hard to receive the gift of true understanding via the faculty of intuition.

Everybody knows how an Aha-moment feels. It usually is a profoundly liberating and spacious energy spreading throughout our whole system filling us with vitality and aliveness. And within the vibration of intuition we, not only understand what we have struggled with intellectually, but also understand it on all levels at the same time, instinctually, emotionally and physically. This is usually combined with an unshakable depth of knowing that requires no defense and includes not only the resolution, but the required energy to see it through to the end as well.
To summarise:
   We can say that through the process and the science of meditation we gradually shift from external tuition to internal tuition or ‘in- tuition’.
   Then we can say that ‘in-tuition’ has to be earned through work on consciousness and meditation. Also intuition only can enter through the ‘ray of eternity’, once all the different centres and functions are working to their full potential and in balance.
   Furthermore we can say that Great Ideas only can be understood and grasped by means of ‘in-tuition’, hence true understanding of a particular subject or event, only manifests the moment we can see it from a higher point of view or perspective. We can’t truly understand self-consciousness from the level of our ordinary state of consciousness, which takes place on a much lower frequency. That is, we have to rise up to the level of what we intend to understand or grasp in the first place, before we will possess true knowledge of it.
   Finally we can say that once we have established a more permanent neutral state of mind, which in itself is a much higher state of consciousness, ‘in-tuition’ can reach us with less interference from the law of opposition. In other words, our life becomes less prone to the law of accident and more congruent via the gift of ‘perception’.
