What Exactly is Human Intuition?

Question

Is human intuition a spiritual awakening? Is it a third-eye awakening? Or is it just your mind seeing past the data the eye sends to the brain? I just want to know for sure, even if there is no official answer. I want to know what you think.

Answer 1

Here's what I think:
Human intuition is your deep gut feeling. It's like your first instinct; it's the voice inside of your head (that is right 90% of the time), giving its take on a situation that has no solution yet ahead of time.

Answer 2

According to Hindu Upanishads, Chitta is the
center of intuition.

Modern psychologists say that passions have the
same limitations of senses as they tend toward
immediate emotional discharge. Chitta is the quick
acting component of the mind which can be termed
as leftist or negative thinking part. It is called
negative because some psychologists felt that it
separates the received information into pieces,
contains unintentional and contradictory ideas,
and lacks internal organisation, inner
consistency, and concrete solutions. On the
contrary, some philosophers thought that this is
the 'idealistic view' of thinking about a problem.
This center can handle divergent thoughts like a
multi-channel parallel processing hardware in a
super computer. It is the seat of the element
Water. It controls the processing of liquids in
the body and interaction of the body with the
liquids out side the body. Chitta means emotion or
intuition. This center is connected with
instincts, urges, impulses, desires, imagination,
sentiments, passions, caring, pleasure,
exploration, unconventional ideas, moods, insight,
superstitions, immodesty, immorality, analysis of
details, concern about particular features,
capacity to find novel relationships, unrestrained
expressions connected with body or mind, molding
of past experiences into new constellations of
meanings, creation of artistic, poetic and musical
works and the like. Seeing a good work of painting
or listening to music of one's liking will set
waves of emotion in Chitta center. This center
helps us to imagine things in new ways. It is
known that lighter side of life like fun may
contain silly and ridiculous situations. An artist
is said to go to the extremes to divorce himself
from environmental constraints. Such is the way in
which Chitta works. This center has seeds of past
memories and can access Jnaana center for more
details of each memory. It controls the
sensitivity of the sense-organs. If the vitality
of this center gets reduced due to any reason, the
sensitivity of the sense-organs also gets reduced.
For example, the sense-organs feel sleepy after an
ejaculation in man. Even if the man has very high
artistic talents, they also will not respond
normally soon after the ejaculation. It takes
about 40 minutes before some recovery is felt.
This center can be compared to a convex lens - it
provides insight for the subtle. It's working is
similar to Differentiation in mathematics. It
helps to observe all the minor details, and each
minor detail is given very high importance.

It may help awakening of the third eye (the
pineal gland) in some persons.

Answer 4

Its freedom from thinking
its a knowing beyond the mind
It is awakening
The beginning of the higher mind
The connection to the divine

Answer 5

To me, it is picking up subtle cues in other peoples faces, mannerisms, body language or picking up subtle changes in the environment, and using all these subtle clues to reach a conclusion even when you don't have all the evidence you need.

Answer 6

I guess its everything that everyone has said.
if you believe in a higher power then it could be diving.
if not then it could be nature. Like it could be something that you know from experience.

Answer 7

something you just KNOW.
