Intuition for Starters

by J. Donald Walters

Every day we are confronted with difficult problems and thorny situations for which we eitherdont have enough information to make clear-cut decisions or for which there is no easy intellectualanswer. At these moments, we all wish that there was another way to know how to makethe right choice. Fortunately, there is another way through using our intuition. More than justa feeling or a guess, true intuition is one of the most importantyet often least developedof our human faculties. Often thought of as something vague and undefinable, many peoplemistakenly assume that intuition cannot be understood and developed. Intuition for Startersexplains what true intuition is, where it comes from, the practices and attitudes necessary fordeveloping it, and how to tap into intuitive guidance at will.

Intuition's subtitle is telling: the book concerns unlocking one's inner guidance via yoga. Notes Walters (The Promise of Immortality: The True Teaching of the Bible and the Bhagavad Gita), "Intuition is the innate ability in everyone to perceive truth directly--not by reason, logic or analysis, but by simply knowing from within." One taps intuition, which according to the author is deeper and purer than mere logic, by exploring the ill-defined "superconscious" mental state, which resembles a state between sleep and wakefulness. Purposeful writing encourages patience, persistence, and consistency; initiates should seek "calmness, clarity, and joy. Intuition is always based in a deep sense of calmness and detachment." Lacking broad appeal, only very large collections or those with specialized self-help collections should consider.
