Psychic Defense

Is there anything like intuition? What does this word mean actually?

I'll refer to this term keeping the esoteric, not other e.g. scientific, meaning. To keep things simple, I'll refer to the common understanding of intuition as being the sixth sense - a sense that is not one of the five basic, or physical, senses.

It seems that no one knows how to train it, as I observed. Also, as Robert Bruce suggested in the Astral Dynamics book with the mind, we also cannot point where it is. Sixth sense as a working function appears to be a very vague and general description of "something magical" happening in the mind of the... receiver, right? :) A person, the receiver, is a subject of getting a subtle (silent) information within their mind, and when it is noticed, or at least this person acts upon this information not necessarily consciously, something "good" happens in their life - otherwise something bad happens. This is a general working definition that people use to have on intuition. I tried to solve this mystery with an open mind for years, reading different books on intuition and comparing people's experiences. My conclusion is: it is tricky.

Basically, it seems that intuition - a vague sixth sense - as opposed to common believes, cannot be trained. IMO the term is not even valid, it hides the complexity of how the mind works, and actually how the universe works, the common idea about intuition doesn't take many hidden facts that are not available to us - incarnated people - and as such it turns out to be just nothing more like a statement "something unexplained happened within my mind, and I did/didn't listen to this advisable hint, and as a result something good/bad happened because of that". Further more, my observations suggest that people who don't care about such things as intuition, sixth senses etc., "seem" to have a better "intuition" than people who do, who try to develop it etc. - at least in the working sense, i.e. they seem to "somehow" make better choices. I don't mean meaningless choices like "when I turn to the street on the left instead of going straightforward, I'll find the shop I'm looking for faster". I mean those really meaningful life choices, like those made by people like Bill Gates. :D

So to sum up the common idea of the intuition, I'd say it would be acting in a right way in the right time. And the knowledge how to pick the right time and right way is supposed to go through the person's sixth sense. I.e. if someone thinks their life is wonderful, it seems that this person is an intuitive master, and vice versa, if you're not happy, then the recipe is very simple: work on your intuition, and everything would jump on the right places "magically". There are millions of choices (options) potentially available for a person in life, so when you see someone who seem to make always proper choices, then this person must have an inner "navigator", i.e. some sixth sense, which directs them on the dangerous seas of life. If you find any obstacles and go shipwrecked, you'd better learn from people like Bill Gates. :D Or at least this is how people used to see the intuition. So should we learn from people like him, the intuitive masters? :) Or what? :)

And there is yet another thing which indicates an inner conflict in the common understanding of this "phenomena": reincarnation and the plans for the lifetime for a particular individual. Are all plans for people's lifetimes perfectly great, and these are just we who break things, disturb the reincarnation life-time plans and make poor choices? Like, choosing a wrong partner? When someone has a difficult person as the life partner, is it a result of "not listening" to their intuition, or of inflexible, unchangeable plan for their lifetime? And we could ask, so where does the intuition fit into this picture? Do lifetime plans for a particular incarnation refer to "big things" in life, and the meaningless rest - small things - are left for the intuition, like turning into the right street instead of wasting time when looking around? So where's the place for the intuition? My view is that this sixth sense is like asking chatgpt a vague and very general question: "what should I do to have a perfectly wonderful life" (answer: pick the right way in the right time) or "how to know all the answers about the universe" (answer: use intuition, i.e. intuitive understanding).. So ultimately I turned to research rather specific things, like specific ESP abilities, gaining more detailed information, rather than keeping old beliefs, when a person on a street explains to the stranger how they found the right shop in the big city center: "it's magic! I'm good at it!". :)
