Developing Intuition by Paramhansa Yogananda

An article by Paramhansa Yogananda from the October 1939 Inner Culture Magazine

Intuition is that directly perceiving faculty of the soul which at once knows the truth about anything. Unless you have the power of intuition, you cannot possibly know Truth. It is the knowing power of the soul without the help of the senses or the mind. Intuition can give you knowledge about things which your senses and understanding can never give. Intuition does not depend upon any outside data whatsoever.

Intuition and the Future

Does intuition have anything to do with the future?

The question shows the gray area that between the subject areas of the intuition and psychic phenomenon. If intuition is simply defined as "knowing without rational reasoning or understanding," then intuition is outside the scope of time. It therefore can be about the future, present or past.

Precognition is the ability to know about an event before it happens.

What is the right brain? ... the right hemisphere of the brain.

Feelings and Intuitions

Right-brained people generally prefer being spontaneous. Although, not exclusively right-brain, they do tend to following more right-brain functions: logical patterns, pictures, and symbols. They prefer relying on a 'hunch' than having to logically think through using a liner sequence for analysis. Right-brain dominate people are out-of-the-box thinkers, i.e. they tend to be unconventional thinkers.

Courting Intuition

This is a guest post by California author, speaker, and lawyer Jim Wawro.

 After years of practicing international litigation as a senior partner in a 1400-lawyer firm, I decided to try meditation as a way to deal with the stress generated by the conflict in my work.  In our adversarial system, each side’s job is to point out the weaknesses in the other side’s case, and the theory is that, out of this dialectic, truth emerges.

What is the right brain? That is what is the right hemisphere of the brain and what are the functions?  


Feelings and Intuitions
Right-brained people prefer following their intuition. In some cases they follow logical patterns but prefer relying on a 'hunch'. Therefore right-brain people are out-of-the-box thinkers. They are more apt to be unconventional thinkers. On the other hand (or side of the brain) a left brained person is more comfortable following rational, logical pattern.

Holistic View
A right-brained is about connectedness, seeing the whole picture, and is non-local.

Psychic Phenomenon and Intuition

on Wed, 02/09/2011 - 14:17

  Several people have asked about the difference between psychic phenomenon and intuition. The fact is, for many people, it is often difficult to tell.

     Telepathy is referred to as mind reading more than its proper name.  However, Telepathy is not limited to reading (receiving) someones thoughts but includes the transmission of thought to another person. In India  students of the Yogic path learn  various "mind" or psychic practices. They may use Mental Telepathy to produce pictures in the minds eye of others as they do in the street trick of climbing a rope that becomes a snake.
