No knowledge can be produced by a single way of knowing.
TOK identifies 8 different ways of knowing, each one involving a different method of gaining knowledge, but just like with the areas of knowledge, they are often intertwined and dependent on each other.

“Many people use the phrase ‘intuition’ to describe a sensation or feeling they have when making decisions, but these are only descriptions, they don’t provide strong evidence that we can use unconscious information in our brain or body to guide our behavior,” Pearson explains. “This is the first time we have been able to show strong evidence that something like intuition does actually exist.”

Intuition is associated with instinct, and innate knowledge, and is linked to ethics and knowing instinctively the ‘right’ and the ‘wrong’ way to behave. It is another of the new ways of knowing, and like faith is controversial, with some people believing that it isn’t a valid way of knowing.

I have trusted to my intuition to find the subjects, and I have written intuitively. I have an idea when I start, I have a shape; but I will fully understand what I have written only after some years.

No matter how deep a study you make. What you really have to rely on is your own intuition and when it comes down to it, you really don’t know what’s going to happen until you do it.

What’s the difference between being psychic and being intuitive?

# data[].attributes.body
Psychics represent the extreme cultivation of intuition. Although most people will not choose to develop their instincts to this level or purpose, intuition training is beneficial for everyone. Clairvoyance, or the ability to psychically see, is the most developed form of a mild visual intuition, such as seeing in your mind’s eye someone’s response to an intended gift. You can see their face light up when they receive the unusual gift you are considering buying. Or, when someone who gets a hunch that the antique wall sconce they have been looking for is around the corner, even though they don’t know whether or not there is a shop around the corner. They just feel a physical tug in that direction. That would be a mild version of a clairsentience – the ability to psychically sense in a kinesthetic way. Sometimes a person who survived a dangerous situation will report that on the surface the situation did not appear to be dangerous, but a voice inside their head told them to be careful or run away. These people don’t usually hear voices, but in that instance it saved their life. That is an example of situation-induced clairaudience, or the ability to hear psychically. So you can see that psychic is the same as everyday intuition, just more developed.

When people say, “I don’t have any intuition,” what they really mean is, “I don’t have what I recognize to be intuition.” There are many different types of intuition. There is everyday intuition, such as the “phone psychic” who knows who it is before answering, and the “parking space diviner,” who can always find that perfect spot. Then there’s profound intuition, which people who assist police on a murder case possess. Everyone has some intuition or you wouldn’t survive everyday circumstances such as crossing a busy street, shopping for a used car or even going out on a date.

Yes! You can develop your intuition. Intuition training is a lifelong journey. The more you use your intuition the stronger it gets – like a muscle. Also, the more you pay attention to your intuition, the more discerning you’ll become. Many people initially think they’re confusing intuition with other sensations, such as hunger, pain, fear, restlessness, their own feelings, etc. With practice, you will know when an experience is intuitive and when it’s not.
