Intuition

[Nau7ik]

Men and women both have intuition because the intuition is a function of the higher mind. I was just reading about the Intuitive Mind yesterday, so I’ll quote:

The Intuitive Mind is presented as “not-self,” for two reasons. In the first place, it is no part of the conscious intelligence, and therefore it makes its appearance to the conscious mind as an alien being. Secondly, it is linked to the Supernal levels of Mind: the psyche not being sealed within the physical nature of the individual, as many imagine, but extending beyond that nature and in particular reaching upward through the “fine point of the spirit” to contact with Kether itself [contact with intelligent Infinity, I think], besides of course the other two Supernal Sephiroth. This region of the Mind which is superior to, and outside, the conscious intelligence, we term the Intuitive Mind. It always exists, even in the psyche of persons of the most limited awareness, although in such cases it is naturally quite out of communication with the conscious mind; it can however in grave emergency sometimes communicate, even in those circumstances, through the media of the sympathetic nervous system or the instinctual subconscious. Such promptings are, in fact, what in popular language is called “intuition,” although the true function of the Intuitive Mind which is our subject is a far other and grander thing. To define this, we must briefly consider the modes of knowledge.

So, the development of the intuition is hand in hand with the clearance of lower chakra blockages. This “Intuitive Mind” cannot make its appearance as long as the Intellect reigns as Master in the psyche. It will block the “KNOWING” of the Higher Self, which is basically the Intuitive Mind, direct knowing or spiritual truth.

Meditation is indeed a good practice! The mind will become more open, that is, “to receive.”
