Intuition is the sensation one acquires with subject experience
|
|
that answers questions that the host can not.
|
|
|
|
The subconscious can recall information the conscious mind has forgotten.
|
|
The conscious mind understands concepts abstractly
|
|
|
|
Intuition is valuable, but is often given precedent over logic.
|
|
It is not special, and is subject to the same follies as conventional logic.
