• Intuitive thinking is referred to as gut feeling, sixth sense, inner sense, instinct, inner voice, spiritual guide, etc.
• Albert Einstein stated that the only real valuable thing is intuition.
• Albert Einstein stated that there is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws, there is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance.
• John Naisbitt stated that intuition becomes increasingly valuable in the new information society precisely because there is so much data.
• Alexis Carrel stated that all great men are gifted with intuition, they know without reasoning or analysis what they need to know.
• Alexis Carrel stated that intuition comes very close to clairvoyance, it appears to be the extrasensory perception of reality.
• All reasoning is based on data, information, and evidence.
• In general, I feel that the more rationalistic approaches to pitch organization, including specifically serial technique, have given way largely, to a more intuitive approach.
• All reasoning is based on assumptions.
• Trusting our intuition often saves us from disaster.
• Intuition is the supra-logic that cuts out all the routine processes of thought and leaps straight from the problem to the answer.
• All reasoning leading somewhere has implications and consequences.
• Intuition is as if the intuitive sense acting through the soul is what makes the raw events into food for the soul.
• All reasoning is done from some points of view.
• Selfish critical persons are skilled thinkers who do not genuinely accept the values of critical thinking; persons who use the intellectual skills of critical thinking selectively and self-deceptively to foster and serve their vested interest (at the expense of truth).
• Intuition and concepts constitute the elements of all our knowledge, so that neither concepts without an intuition in some way corresponding to them, nor intuition without concepts, can yield knowledge.
• Intuition is the very force or activity of the soul in its experience through whatever has been the experience of the soul itself.
• Uncritical persons are those who have not developed intellectual skills; persons who are naïve, conformist, easily manipulated, often inflexible, easily confused, typically unclear, narrow-minded, and consistently ineffective in their use of language.

• All reasoning is an attempt to figure something out, to settle some questions, to solve some problems.

• All reasoning contains inferences by which we draw conclusions and give meaning to data.
• All reasoning is expressed through, and shaped by concepts and ideas.
• All reasoning has a purpose.
• Henry Reed - Intuition is the very force or activity of the soul in its experience through whatever has been the experience of the soul itself.
