” ‘Will you explain intuition?’ once inquired someone.
‘Yes, I can explain it in one sentence — the prompting of the spirit,’ replied the guide.
‘Intuition is the means by which the spirit becomes aware of itself; it outpaces the processes of normal earthly reasoning. Intuition accomplishes at lightening speed what normally you would reach after much deliberation. Intuition is that process of attunement during which you receive that prompting which you would reach after much time and thought on the same subject.
Then, above all, is the cultivation of the spirit itself which can be accomplished in the quietness of the individual, where he can learn to attune themselves to all that power that is round and about him; where he can learn to harmonize his mind with the great minds of the larger life; where he can learn to become a better receptacle for the inspiration and wisdom, for the knowledge and truth, for all the learning that is awaiting him from the infinite storehouse, the Great Spirit.’ ”
