Over the course of human history, seers, oracles, and sages have used their intuition to interpret the hidden deeper meanings within life’s events.
In every culture and era, the ones who had this “second sight” came to be their communities’ cornerstones as counselors, leaders, and healers.
Our lives and intuition are intimately entangled. We may know it as hunches, gut feelings, or something illogical and uncanny but a certainty in the knowing. In fact, even holistic providers of health such as nutritionists, neuropathic doctors, acupuncturists, and more all use intuition daily. It’s their “special something” that seems to draw in all their clients.
“Intuition” is derived from Latin intuitus which means “to contemplate or gaze at”. One definition of it describes it as a direct perception of the truth that is not dependent upon any process of reasoning. A theory exists that the process of the reasoning behind intuitive perceptions is absent to us because that process does not fall under the five senses we know so well. As such, it might truly be the “sixth sense”.
