Intuition, Wisdom and the source to all the answers to everything.
I've always wondered if intuition is due to having a highly evolved perception or has it something to do with a connection to something that is not tangible. In other words, someone who is considered intuitive may just be highly observant to body language, voice tone, facial expression or anything that is fairly subtle to most people. Or, another possibility is that an intuitive person is connected to some source that is not very obvious, almost having a cosmic nature about it. I would ask people their opinion on intuition. Does intuition involve some kind of cosmic nature or is intuition just a form of highly evolved perception in some people? Many people would attempt to examine this phenomenon as scientific and explainable to the point they are so sure that they are correct. But for those people who know they have a great deal of intuition, don't believe it is something that can be scientifically explained. I have read explanations from people who don't claim to have any intuition, but they all believe they know the reason why others have it. I have read examples from people who have had an experience with intuition, yet they cannot give a scientific explanation behind it. (thread) So, I'm inclined to believe that intuition is not something that can be explained scientifically. One would really need to experience this phenomenon to truly understand it.
Since it is very difficult to argue the explanation of intuition, lets use our imaginations and consider this hypothetical possibility. Many people believe in a source of power that has all the answers to everything. Dr. Wayne Dyer described in his book "The Power of Intention" and on a late night PBS special, that there is a source of power that we all can connect to. In many religions one may consider this source of power, God. One hypothesis is that a moment of intuition has something to do with a connection to this source. Since this source has all the answers to everything, a moment of knowledge that is given to a person at just the right time may be caused by a brief connection with this source. So one possible explanation of this phenomenon is that a brief connection to a source of all knowledge is made which gives a person knowledge just at the right time.
Imagine if this were true. Imagine that we could access this knowledge anytime we want. Imagine that everything in the world was created from this source of knowledge. Maybe the architects, the artist, the authors, the scientists all had a connection to this source of knowledge. Just maybe, accidental discoveries like antibiotics and the Internet all came from this source of knowledge. Just maybe, we are all able to access this knowledge and wisdom. So, if there is a source of knowledge and wisdom, how would one have access to it?
Other than using research, many people throughout history have sought answers through prayer and meditation. I don't believe that someone like Einstein developed all his theories by researching text books in libraries. I don't believe ancient philosophers like Socrates had access to the Internet. Many of the most revolutionary theories have came from imagination. Their imagination was brought out by being in deep thought. This form of deep thought can also be reached through some sort of meditation. To me meditation is like prayer. People throughout history have always respected the power of prayer. Just maybe, prayer puts people into a meditative like state. The meditative state opens the mind. The openness of the mind allows a connection to the source to all the answers. Maybe that is why prayer can be so powerful.
Image if all this were true. Wouldn't one want to consider accessing knowledge and answers to everything? Wouldn't one want to develop their imagination? Wouldn't one want to have an open mind? Wouldn't one want to develop their intuition? I just described one possibly. If one were to let themselves imagine if this were true, then one would be able to develop other possibilities. If one were to be open to many possibilities, then one may determine the closest possibility. If one allows their mind to use their imagination and be open to what is possible in this world, then would that be one way to connect to all the answers? Whatever the source to all knowledge is. It maybe God. It maybe a collective conscience. But the way to connect to this source is to be open minded, imaginative and in thought.
