Thank you for the first clarification: intuition is the result of our sub-conscious processes. But the second quote, along with reference to quantum activist Goswami, is where I need clarification: in the theory of this thread, where does intuition come from? So far, I've come up with 3 ideas: 1) info clues come into the brain through conventional means, like sight, sound, etc, and the subconscious parts of the brain put together the puzzle pieces and push the solution to the surface 2) the intuition thought is put into the mind's awareness from something outside the conventional universe (long list, ex: as yet unknown particles that travel backwards in time; messages from beings in another dimension; many others) 3) something totally different, I hope I can understand your explanation Of course, 'Without Any Known Clues' could be something ordinary as source 1, we just don't know it. Ex would be: intuition to trust someone's statement -- could come from unconsciously detecting microfacial movements around the speaker's eyes that show sincerity. Or the converse, to distrust someone's statement -- unconsciously the sense of smell detects a rise in sweat, due to the stress of lying. Predicting the score of the game -- unconscious parts of the brain have probability estimates and run many simulations to get an average score, just like a computer would do. This would be different from the non-ordinary as source 2, like sensing energy or particles coming from the future, or connecting to 'higher realms of consciousness that transcend human time'. It's also possible, the source is unknown, and not important, this thread is just interested in the ability and developing it for now, the explanation will come later with more advances in science. I recall 'The Mind Race' (Targ and others), I think this was their approach. Sorry to push the question for several responses, but it would really help to understand your argument in this thread, to clarify which of these -- or something else, or if it's unknown -- is the proposed source of intuition. What is one developing the mind or intuition to connect to? thanks
I think it's the forum and text posts, a lot of the subtleties of communication are removed. No sarcasm intended, and sure hope nobody takes it that way. It is an honest question I have, because often in 'mind' discussions there is a range between the concrete, where they talk about brain parts and activity, and the metaphysical or spiritual side; discussions that try to bridge the two; and another category I haven't thought of. As the thread is currently in the middle of the argument, I'm not agreeing or disagreeing. I'd rather hear the entire argument, understand the premises clearly, then decide if I agree or not. On this premise, about the source, I am not clear where the argument stands, so that's why I've posted my question.
So you were serious, thats a pity as I was hoping I wasn't the only one to see through this thread's delusional nonsense.
Oh of course, whenever you have time and wish! So far will do certain theoretical and practical researches myself so that maybe some results turn out to be useful for your goals as well. Will post anything I find worth attention in this thread.
Definitely so. Just back from the village on the bank of river Ob. Some silence and fresh air help to "recharge the batteries" so well!
There is no material or immaterial energy in the strict sense. We may zoom into smaller and smaller particles infinitely, only to see there's a space between them! Isn't is amazing?
Gee man...You even lack of the simple knowledges about everything.There is the strict defenition of what is what.What is material energy,what is spiritual energy is strictly defined.You are swimming down the clouds.Your mistake is that you trust to your mind wholeheartedly!Don`t trust your mind,it`ll dump you,100%.("The mind naturally questions bullshit".It was the Hershey expression and i liked it,actually.Actually,even this ardent atheist Hershey felt that smth was wrong with the mind.How well he`s right!)Now this bullshit is all over your mind.Go free it! Go find yourself a guru,but be sure this is the right Guru.He will explain you everything. We can`t zoom in and zoom out as our spiritual self`s (Atma)size is strictly defined as well!It has the certain size with the certain parametres!We can only change our appearance,from life to life,as we change our clothes.We did change,well,some of us,our size in the past,yes,we had shuch ability,it calls siddhi - Maxima(becoming big) and Laghima(becoming weightless).But not anymore,not in this age.
