SCIENTISTS EXPLAIN HOW INTUITION MAY BE THE HIGHEST FORM OF INTELLIGENCE
BY ALANNA KETLER
This article was inspired by one published in Forbes with the same title.
Who would have ever expected to see Forbes, a finance publication, post something about
intuition?
This is a surefire sign that times really are changing.
So, if you�re thinking, intuition has nothing to do with intelligence, then you�re not
alone.
Because intuition is so difficult to measure and observe.
The dictionary definition of intuition is as follows:
�1.
the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning.�
Intuition is our first instinct; it�s what we feel right away before the mind has time
to come in and consciously analyze.
Often times we hear of people who are near death, and everything becomes clear and they
just instinctively know exactly what needs to be done to get themselves out of the situation;
there is no time to hum and haw and weigh options, and intuition takes over, if we let
it.
Where Does Intuition Come From?
You know when you get that �gut feeling� that maybe something isn�t right?
That is your intuition, and while we feel it in our gut or stomach area, many people
often argue it comes from the heart.
I recently watched an incredible documentary on Gaia called The Power Of The Heart that
explained how this feeling is actually coming from the heart, and the heart is always the
first to react to any given situation.
The heart intuitively knows what�s up.
Why Does Forbes Call Intuition the Highest Form of Intelligence?
Gerd Gigerenzer, a director at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and author
of the book Gut Feelings: The Intelligence of the Unconscious, claims to be both intuitive
and rational:
In my scientific work, I have hunches.
I can�t explain always why I think a certain path is the right way, but I need to trust
it and go ahead.
I also have the ability to check these hunches and find out what they are about.
That�s the science part.
Now, in private life, I rely on instinct.
For instance, when I first met my wife, I didn�t do computations.
Nor did she.
Intuition itself doesn�t equal intelligence, but intuition with action most certainly can
be intelligent.
You�ve probably said it to yourself before, I knew that was the answer; I should have
went with my first instinct.
You see, this is an example of how your intuition often knows what your conscious mind does
not.
But just as Gigerenzer says, he tests his first instinct to see if it was correct and
often time it is.
So, intuition does hold some form of intelligence.
Below is a nice little bit from Dean Radin, Chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic
Sciences
Trusting Your Intuition So, despite often having that great idea,
do you find that you have a difficult time trusting this answer or path is correct?
The amazing thing about intuition is that it can be thought of as a muscle.
Every time you use it and trust it, it becomes stronger.
So, if you feel your intuition isn�t very clear, try strengthening this muscle.
Next time, act on the first idea that comes your way.
For example, I had plans to meet a friend, but her phone died, and I had to go home to
grab something before I picked her up.
I was circling the area in which I was supposed to meet her, but she was nowhere to be found.
My intuition kept saying, Go to Green Cuisine, she�ll be there, but my mind was telling
me, Don�t go there, it�ll be a hassle to find parking, and it�s doubtful she�ll
even be there.
By the time she got her phone charged and gave me a call, I found out that she too had
an intuitive feeling to go to the restaurant and that�s where she had been waiting.
Had I trusted this feeling right off the bat, I could have saved myself a lot of time and
stress.
Try acting on the first thought you have, and see how often it leads you where you need
to go, or gives you the right answer.
You may be pleasantly surprised.
