Hello Swati,

Thank you so much for your comment. I think this is a frequent confusion with intuition. Namely, we recognize it, not when it happens, but when we have translated an intuitive insight into the thing we pay attention to most: words and numbers. Intuition, as a phenomenon, and as a tool, exists independently of our ability to describe it (usually with words and numbers, both linear, both left-brained). In other words, it is possible to have intuition about something and yet, never be able to describe it. How does this relate to the 'past experiences' or memories you describe? Memories are nothing more than a suite of contexts used to contextualize/understand new experiences. Yet, intuition frequently is a unique insight that, in some cases takes years to relate in the way you describe above. Take Newton's discovery of 'the calculus,' for example. He is said to have had a flash of insight or direct knowing, but it took him several years more to translate that knowing into words and mathematics that were congruent with his intuition. Does this make sense?

Much more on this subject to come; and most of all, thank you for taking the time to share your views!

With smiles,

Jason
