Intuition
It is akin to both the intellect and the heart
March 30th 2024
Our heart and intellect are useful, essential instruments, but they are not sufficient to guide us along all the paths we must travel. That is why we need to develop a third faculty: intuition. Similar to the intellect in that it is a kind of intelligence, and similar to the heart insofar as it is a form of feeling, intuition is both intelligence and feeling, but on higher planes.
‘But that is clairvoyance!’ you will say. No, people set great store by clairvoyance these days; there is a great deal of talk about it. But the faculty of clairvoyance allows you to see only the objective aspect (shapes, colours, movements) of the astral and mental planes. You can be clairvoyant without understanding what you see, without knowing how to interpret it. So what good does that do you? Whereas with intuition, you may not have any visions, but you understand things much better than if you saw them, because you live and feel them.*
