The power of intuition

Incident 1: I was talking to someone who is an expert in psychology and he told me about the way he remembers certain things. And I asked him, how does he remember so many things about so many people? And he said, it just happens. 

Incident 2: I am in the process of learning the basics of Upanishads from someone who is an expert on the topic and he said there is a certain way of how certain things come to him in the middle of a lecture. He would have prepared, but there is always a something special. 

That is intuition. 

When your brain spends time with something - whether you are a psychology expert or Upanishad Vidwan or you are a faclitator or a coach, the information is stored by your brain and at the right moment, that information is retreived - the information which you dont know you need at that moment, but it presents itself. It is not information. Sometimes it is information, sometimes it is an idea, sometimes it is two dots that were always there, but never joined that sparks off a connection. All of this is intuition. 

I was sharing an idea with someone and they said, "that is a random idea". And I said, it is not random, it happens because I am constantly thinking about this. That is intuition. 

Intuition is the power of the experienced brain making those connections that are not visible at the moment when you want it. Till that point when the intuition happens, it is invisible and then it lights a spark. Intuition is a function of experience - not an inverse (as is often fallaciously believed)
