We live in a time when rational thinking is the epitome of an enlightened worldview. Many people accept only a reduced form of knowledge, only what they can see or what is measurable.

They distrust that knowledge which is not gained through the external senses and the mind. Therefore intuitions are mostly ignored or smiled at. However, our mind and our intuition are not opponents, as is so often assumed. They complement each other, although they are different forms of perception.

The mind is a tool of our consciousness. It determines our thoughts and actions in the world of the five senses. With the mind many, but not all questions can be clarified.

Intuitions arise from an inner, unconscious source of knowledge. A world whose knowledge reaches far beyond our intellect. Intuitions do not follow any logic of the mind. They often appear unexpectedly as a kind of flash of inspiration.

Intuitions cannot be reasoned with the mind because they are not the result of a thought process. Intuitions usually surface when we least expect them. And sometimes they contradict the mind so much that we can sense their genuineness.
