INTUITION

Intuition perceives the possibilities inherent in a situation. The faculty of intuition enables the determination of space-time relationships. In space, every object is in endless connection with a multiplicity of other objects. In time, the object represents merely a transition from a former state to a succeeding one. The perception of the intuitive is directed simply and solely to events as they happen. Things come from somewhere and they go to somewhere. You cannot see where they came from and you cannot know where they go to. But the intuitive type glances at things, taking in their fullness. Among the many things which they perceive they get one point on the periphery of their field of vision, that is the intuition or possibility. In intuition a content presents itself whole and complete, without our being able to explain or discover how this content came into existence. It is the function that mediates perceptions in an unconscious and therefore irrational way. Intuition is a kind of instinctive apprehension. The intensity of the intuition decides conscious orientation.
