What is Intuition

A point of view

A Perspective of thought

Intuition is a form of knowledge or knowing that speaks to you as if it were a consciousness. It is a process that gives us the ability to know something directly without analytic reasoning. 

There is a point of consideration to take into account there is a very fine line between intuition and hearing voices, we must understand and know the difference.

When we refer to Intuition, it is often referred to as a “gut feeling” and tends to arise holistically and frequently, without warning or awareness of the underlying mental process.  It appears to come from the interaction of many distinctive cognitive processes, rather than a single one. 

Intuition has the ability to offer a reduction in overall cognitive load as well as the ability to respond instantly while providing confidence in our knowledge and decision making, even though it may defy analysis of understanding. It has a way of being approximate knowledge, and is not infallible by any stretch of the imagination.

Different people use the word “intuition” in very different ways, for example – gut feeling, insight, unconscious knowledge, unconscious cognition, gut feelings, inner sensing to unconscious pattern-recognition.

This ability to understand something instinctively, without any need for conscious reasoning can be classed as following your Intuition. It is also a thinking style, and people who have this ability differ in the degree to which they rely on it with intentional reflection.
