Hi Ben,

Thanks as always for your comments. In the Santa Fe airport story it took me about 2 minutes to figure everything out. However, the initial recognition that he was an investment banker was instantaneous. It then took about 30 seconds more to figure out that he worked for UBS. What took the most time was applying my creativity to come up with a contextless question that would allow me to figure out for what company he was working on a deal.

I agree with you about the need to 'prove' the Eurkea moments with hard data. I think this is understandable given the scant amount of time most people have ever spent trying to learn to listen to their intuition, and even more importantly how to translate the sensory data that comes from intuition. It's nice to read that you agree that the Western education system and its over-emphasis (to my mind) on empiricism is a likely culprit. When I used to experience intuition, and here I am talking up until my early 30s, I thought I was crazy. I couldn't explain what was happening in my consciousness and I deployed the powers of the pre-frontal cortex to rationalize my intuitive sense of things. Ouch!

Thank you for sharing your tips for how to better embrace intuition!

With smiles,

Jason
