INTUITION DEFINITIONS
Intuition n. 1 immediate apprehension by the mind without reasoning. 2 immediate apprehension by a sense. 3 immediate insight.
Concise Oxford Dictionary
~~~~~~~~~~
In recent years, the subject of intuition has emerged from obscurity. Intuition is increasingly recognized as a natural mental faculty, a key element in the creative process, a means of discovery, problem solving, and decision making. Once considered the province of a gifted few, it is now recognized as an innate capacity available to everyone not a rare, accidental talent, but a natural skill anyone can cultivate. A key ingredient in what we call genius, it is also an important tool when applied to everyday life.

It is the intuition which reveals true Being and which induces a state of spiritual perception.
Alice Bailey, Glamour: A World Problem, p. 241

... Steiner ... gradually developed the three forms of Higher Knowledge which he called Imagination: a higher seeing of the spiritual world in revealing images; Inspiration: a higher hearing of the spiritual world, through which it reveals its creative forces and its creative order; Intuition: the stage at which an intuitive penetration into the sphere of Spiritual Beings becomes possible.

Intuition is the clothing of divine ideas with the subtlest of form so that the human mind can, if stretched sufficiently, just reach that light which gives insight. Intuition can also be known as pure reason: the use of the mind untrammeled by material considerations or trappings.
Such freedom and insight give us that understanding which is known as pure love or wisdom, and this enables us to take true action.
Judy Jacka, Meditation the Most Natural Therapy, p. 59

The traditional mode of perceiving the invisible is intuition. Intuition also includes what I have called mythic sensibility, for when a myth strikes us, it seems true and gives sudden insight.
In psychology intuition means "direct and unmediated knowledge", "immediate or innate apprehension of a complex group of data". (1) Intuition is both thoughtless and also not a feeling state; it is a clear, quick, and full apprehension, "the significant feature being the immediacy of the process". (2) Intuitions "occur to a person without any known process of cogitation or reflective thinking" (3).
Another important characteristic of intuition is the way it works. It does not expand slowly as a gradual suffusion of mood; nor does it advance by thought, step by step; nor does it come to its insight by a careful examination of sensate details that compose the whole object before me. As I said, intuition is clear, quick, and full. Like a revelation it comes all at once, and fast. It is quite independent of time just as myths are timeless, and fall apart when we ask of them temporal questions such as "When did this occur?" "What is the origin?" "Did the myth develop?" "Are there no new myths?" "Don't they result from historical events?" And so on.

Knowledge has three degrees opinion, science, and illumination. The means or instrument of the first is sense; of the second, dialectic; of the third, intuition. This last is absolute knowledge founded on the identity of the mind knowing with the object known.
Plotinus
~~~~~~~~~~
Intuition [in the Islamic view] is usually translated as wahi. It is the mode of revelation through a mysterious faculty different from mind; yet it comes through mindless mind. The knowledge which intuition obtains comes as a result of a mysterious identification of the consciousness with the unseen worlds. These worlds are made up of luminous matter called nur, existing in sheaths within sheaths, nurun ala nur. Man is connected with all these worlds.
M.H.Abdi
