Intuition Quotes

Knowledge has three degrees—opinion, science, illumination. The means or instrument of the first is sense; of the second, dialectic; of the third, intuition.
Plotinus

The fact that modern physics, the manifestation of an extreme specialisation of the rational mind, is now making contact with mysticism, the essence of religion and manifestation of an extreme specialisation of the intuitive mind, shows very beautifully the unity and complementary nature of the rational and intuitive modes of consciousness; of the yang and the yin.
Fritjof Capra

We need to be willing to let our intuition guide us, and then be willing to follow that guidance directly and fearlessly.
Shakti Gawain

I don't believe in intuition. When you get sudden flashes of perception, it is just the brain working faster than usual. But you've been getting ready to know it for a long time, and when it comes, you feel you've known it always.
Katherine Anne Porter

All great men are gifted with intuition. They know without reasoning or analysis, what they need to know.
Alexis Carrel

Intuition is usually translated as wahi. It is the mode of revelation through a mysterious faculty different from mind; yet it comes through mindless mind. The knowledge which intuition obtains comes as a result of a mysterious identification of the consciousness with the unseen worlds. These worlds are made up of luminous matter called nur, existing in sheaths within sheaths, nurun ala nur. Man is connected with all these worlds.
M.H.Abdi

Intuition comes very close to clairvoyance; it appears to be the extrasensory perception of reality.
Alexis Carrel

The mind can assert anything and pretend it has proved it. My beliefs I test on my body, on my intuitional consciousness, and when I get a response there, then I accept.
DH Lawrence

Intuition isn't the enemy, but the ally, of reason.
John Kord Lagemann

For whereas the mind works in possibilities, the intuitions work in actualities, and what you intuitively desire, that is possible to you. Whereas what you mentally or "consciously" desire is nine times out of ten impossible; hitch your wagon to a star, or you will just stay where you are.
DH Lawrence

I have trusted to my intuition to find the subjects, and I have written intuitively. I have an idea when I start, I have a shape; but I will fully understand what I have written only after some years.
V.S. Naipaul


Intuition is a spiritual faculty and does not explain, but simply points the way.
Florence Scovel Shinn


You must train your intuition -- you must trust the small voice inside you which tells you exactly what to say, what to decide.
