Primary Thinking which could, in princple, go on forever (in the case of a fully divine being).

I find that when I experience an intuition in my heart of the reality of a thing or of its innate value it somehow resonates with me in a way that lets me know I am being guided towards something eternally good. It is only when I try to rationalize or intellectually over think the experience that it loses its potency. As I grow older I learn to rely on this direct apprehension of things intuitively and accept it as real and valid without the impediment of my overlaid scientific or reductionist mind derailing what has really always felt natural and is in many ways similar to how I remember experiencing my place in the world as a small child. Such experiences are hard to articulate but I can percieve that there is a universal thought world that we must all share or else we truely can never really understand another human beings plight. The realisation of a shared source of inner guidance or intuition seems a potent antidote to the modern alienated condition you often describe.David Balfourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099160562774064281noreply@blogger.com
