ScorpiSenses

They never fail US!

My boyfriend and I were out and about yesterday.

We were at a red light, first car. The light turned green. I had this crazy feeling of a car crash. While he started to accelerate, I looked to my right to make sure no cars were coming. a HALF SECOND after we crossed the intersection, a white mustang ran the red light and hit the car behind us! I just grabbed my boyfriend's hand and squeezed it tight, hoping everyone involved in the accident was ok.

Later that evening, we were leaving a restaurant. I was tired (little buzzed) and closed my eyes for a little bit, but I wasn't sleeping. I had an odd feeling again. I opened my eyes and at the same time, my boyfriend looked at me and asked if I was ok. I just blurted out "WATCH OUT!" A jeep wrangler bolted out right in front of us. My boyfriend slammed on his brakes and barely missed the jeep.

These things happen to me all the time and they aren't necessarily life or death situations. Many times, I'm thinking of someone and they text or call me later that day.

Manifestation? Intuition? Psychic abilities?

Definitely intuition



Does it get weaker, stronger during your menses?

hmmmm....I haven't noticed if it changes during that time.

Intuition/psychic powers

Intuition.. but it's a funny thing. Often it can help prevent things or also give you the wrong impression of someone or something.

It's important to separate intuition from projection. Most people just lump it all together and then use confirmation bias to prove their point.

The idea of "don't judge a book by it's cover" originates from leading with intuition.

Intuition isn't judgment.

Intuition is a way of "knowing".

You're not "guessing" or "thinking" when it hits.

You're linked to an event in a way that your brain and other physical senses are not caught up to yet.

No, you can judge and not think about it. It's a reaction typically, think racism. You make a decision when "intuition" hits. Either you can act on it or ask questions, heavily influencing decision-making if allowed. On top of this, people who primarily use intuition to judge, often are extremely harsh and will reject anything contrary to how they feel. Right or wrong..

Intuition is just the ability to understand something immediately without reasoning.

Ideas about what is morally wrong are often guided by intuitive reactions to issues rather than more rational considerations.

Abortion is a prime example of this. Everyone seems to magically understand the need when rape or severe medical issues arise with them or a close family member.

You're confusing judgement with deliberation, careful consideration of a thought. You make a decision when "intuition" hits. Either you follow it or not, therefore it's decision-making based. On top of this, people who primarily use intuition to judge, often are extremely harsh and will reject anything contrary to how they feel. Right or wrong..

No confusion (respectfuly)

Or maybe I miss read?

I thought you meant people actually see intuition as a form of judgement when you gave the book by it's cover example because yeah we can judge what we know from intuition. We can even decide based on what we know from Intuition, but intuition is not any of these things. Its not judgement nor is it deliberation. I agree with your definition:

"Intuition is just the ability to understand something immediately without reasoning."

I do think a lot of people, even those you mention as far as the legislators or those deciding on abortion, or just deciding on anything* mistakenly judge and decide something based on information that wasn't from intuition but rather a guess or knowledge from past experiences.



Now, do i think people can be harsh who use information from their intuition?

I think they can be.

Should people only go off intuition when making decisions?

It depends.

If it involves an entire country no (in most cases).

I believe most of the time one should do their due diligence to find a way to connect what they know (from intuition) and experiment to make the connection and show people "why" what we gather from our intuition is accurate.
