Intuition and Whim



It is not uncommon to encounter admonitions agains the dangers of the sway of "intuition". It seems to me that the advocates of such caution are unable to differentiate between whim and intuition.

Whim is an intellectual construct. The monkey mind, in connecting the dots, discovers an advantageous aggregate and is swayed to performance that will affect the desired shapes in the field of reality. Whims are ideas. Intuition is a scent on the wind: subtile forms surround and presage the hard form of the real. Intuitions are a form of touch. 

Since both whim and intuition must use the mind to communicate with Awareness it is vitally important to be able to taste the difference between them.

Meditation is such training of Awareness.

Meditation is the silence in which sound is discovered.
