I have strong intuition but never really thought it was a thing 'till I saw books on it. I hear testimonies of answered prayers and it sounds like the more people are connected to spiritual faiths, the higher their intuition and awareness; thus, the closer they get to the foundations of their spirit-ual (or however one prefers to call it; context focused) faith abrahamic and not.
Do you guys have strong intuition? Doesn't need to be connected to god. Strong I mean a bit more often than once a week or every other month.
There are basically two forms of thinking: reasoning and intuiting. While a religious person can engage reasoning in their faith, faith itself is in essence an intuition. Intuitions are a biologically passed on ability to judge social situations, like reading faces, judging tone of voice, discerning patterns, etc. Everything about religious practice hones intuition. This doesn't mean that every intuition is going to be correct. Just like people make mistakes in their reasoning (and I mean people make errors in reasoning a LOT). So it is a good idea to always have a little humility and know that one's intuitions could be mistaken.
Yes, my intuition is very strong, you might say gifted. But not as strong as, say, a mentalist. And of course, I'm much more limited in print.
BTW one mistake that intuition consistently makes is seeing patterns where none exist. You have to be very,very careful of not allowing this flaw to make you see "answered prayers."
