Oh ye...That is a really nice piece you posted Sir. <br />Oh yes, intuitive thinking is wonderful skill to posses. I think if you follow it instead of pushing it around it is pure in its commission, and can be trusted to lead you to figuring a lot of things out.<br />It is a kind of altered state of mind.<br />That is how I perceive it. And use it. It works well for me in the mechanical world as a welder/metal fabricator in figuring out a way to solve complex problems, as I have no formal education in engineering or math. It has been a trustworthy method of thought.<br />I really enjoyed how you wrote this essay, it was kind of intuitive in itself.<br />ps, Dave over at Happy Acres sent me over.Boon Vickerson is out therenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-7806463297196048942014-09-06T20:21:22.066+01:002014-09-06T20:21:22.066+01:00@Leo - Actually, I think that is wrong.

We ...Women are, I think, more attuned to intuition. We have the phrase "woman's intuition." Men and taught and urged to be logical. Is there something deeper theologically in this? Perhaps the book Eve and the Choice Made in Eden, which I have on my shelf but have not read, might shed some light on the subject.

But I think we should be actively testing by seeking intuitive confirmation of what matters most to us. So long as this is sincere, serious and sufficiently prolonged, it is a valid and perhaps necessary evaluation method.

Even when a modern person can understand the logic behind a sc/trad argument, it just doesn't make sense to them on an intuitive level.Thursdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13002311410445623799noreply@blogger.com
