My only real point is that deeply rooted fears and beliefs that cause you to misjudge situations are not at all related to intuition. They are related to fear and the Ego. A person filled with fears and worldly concerns is unlikely to realize just how out of touch they are with their intuition.

I think it is great to learn to truly listen and to not confuse the voice of the Higher Self with that of the Ego (false center).

Its the first time I’m reading something off of your blog, and already you write a post with such fascinating and interesting topic to read.

To me, intuition is a major part of my life. I realize that the conscious mind is only the tip of the iceberg, and that there is a whole other story beneath it – the subconscious.

I tend to trust my intuition, because I trust that my brain picks up subliminal information from practically everywhere that I will never recall consciously and indirectly helps me in related situations.

Often times when I feel something isn’t right, I tell myself that it is probably because that my mind has the subconscious information which it probably picked up from the past and that it is trying to tell me something.

However, most of the time when I do get the intuitive “feeling” (which is all the time really), I get into the habit of rationalizing it and figuring out why I feel like that, where I could have subconsciously picked that up from in the past. By rationalizing my intuition, I sometimes I can make better decisions, because I can decide whether to trust my intuition or not (if the sources of the intuition is credible to the current situation, or is it a sort of distorted perception of reality that I have subconsciously embedded within myself during the past).

Again, fascinating topic that you’ve brought up here I think I’m just going to stay here and read more…:)

“Other experiments have shown people can detect patterns that are complex which they simply can’t explain. In other words they can’t consciously understand the pattern even though their unconscious mind has already solved it.”

Creativity and innovation is simply patterns, making link between all you experiences and creating something new. This is why I believe so heavily in the subconscious mind for creativity and feed it with information as much as I can. The subconscious will create the links far better than your conscious ever will.

I know this to be true because all my very best ideas have always just come to me out of the blue, my subconcious working in overdrive while me conscious watches “The Fast and The Furious.”

Of course I believe intuition is real! How could you read this article and others and not see that? I think we have not even begun to understand how our non-conscious brain works. However, there are areas such as those detailed in the first article, where research shows it doesn’t work well. We have to understand where it works and where it doesn’t and act accordingly. That is the only true path to understanding reality. Critical investigation, as the Dalai Lama refers to science, is the way to untangle what is true from what is wishful thinking.

Thanks for the dialog!
