I think intuition is the voice of discernment that God gave us to navigate a world full of deceit and temptation. Cultivating intuition is, from my point of view, cultivating discernment. The more in touch with our creator we become, the more in harmony with his blessings and grace, the more we're able to trust our intuition, the voice of discernment rises above the deceptions and temptations of the world we live in.
This episode has lots of words trying to describe a difficult to describe human capability, philosophies of thinkers seeking understanding through man's cognition, logos. I think it would've been improved by the inclusion of divine guidance, Inspiritus, that makes us capable of cultivating our intuition.
I remember being in a situation where what I was seeing and hearing seemed on the surface acceptable but everything felt slightly off or somehow not in balance. I ignored that feeling because it was not a conscious thought but I now recognise it as intuition. We should listen to those "uncomfortable" feelings because they make you pay attention to what is really going on under the surface, it will alert you first that something is off before words or actions.
Thank you for this thoughtful and inspiring summary.
Another great example of the interplay of the intuitive and the rational mind is the story that Kekule's inspiration for the carbon ring came to him in a dream.
And many of Einstein's memorable statements feel intuitive more than rational.
It seems to me that the interplay between the two (the intuitive and the rational, or whatever we call them) cannot be overemphasized, even if many of our daily activities usually seem to fall more in one category than the other.
In your promotion of your academy, can you change "nature of man" to "the nature of human beings" so that the other 51% of human beings are included? That would be greatly appreciated. Much of his-story and academic writing misses her-story. This is especially apparent during times of war. What were all the women doing? Little has been preserved of her-story.
I think it's simple. The more to get closer to your code, the more you align with your inner code, the stronger your spiritual gift gets. Intuition is one. Not everyone is intuitive. Some people can sense deeply and guess exactly what's on the other person's mind.
And not every intuitive trusts their intuition or is it touch with it.

Yes, that is why they say the heart is the true seat of intelligence, and the mind is its reflective faculty.
(I would "like" your comment but am unable.)
Well done and McGilchrist's work is critical in understanding what true intelligence is.
Here's a good contrast of left brain "smarts" versus intelligence + intuition = real intelligence.

Why do people consider something true? While the rules are firm, it's easy to miss the levels.
Plato and the courts are right: witnessing something doesn't do much.
Logic can do more than nothing, but most problems are not logical: they are solved in analogies.
Feelings and intuition, consequently, overwrite the first two.
What is the ultimate form of becoming convinced?
