What is intuition?
Below is a true description of some personal experiences and does not pretend to any other value. Similar effects were demonstrated in front of colleagues, psychiatrists and physicians groups, of course, patients and other witnesses can confirm the authenticity of the described incidents, but there is no other way to convince the individual reader.
Intuition - the acquisition of information through sensual contact with the object, the actor, applying intuition, can not explain themselves and others, what comes through to their conclusions. In other words, the intuition is that we can know something without knowing what we know.
Intuition - it is something delicate and personal study of this subject met with resistance of people to strictly adhere to scientific principles and refusing to admit the existence of such an ability, if not a manifestation of its cause, and repeat if desired. Unfortunately, at present intuition can be detected only at such time and in such circumstances, which seem to fit its own carrier. Either it was "in shock" or not, and yet no one opened the way to manage the intuition, which would cause its random and studied in the appropriate laboratory conditions. We have to rely on the stories of witnesses of the incident, just as it did in the "pathetic" the era of animal psychology in times of good and scientist father JG Wood.
Consider now some examples of intuition of the author's personal experience.
During night duty in different hospitals, I combined the usual pleasure of communicating with the acquisition of some knowledge, if possible, spending time with patients in wards. One evening I entered the offices of a large hospital and found a patient sitting at the table. Knowing that he should not be there, he got up and wanted to go, but I detained him, feeling a certain intuitive mood. We had never seen and did not know each other by name. It happened in the department of the hospital, far from the mental, where I worked in a totally unfamiliar to me house.
Before a patient has had me anything to say, I asked him to sit down and asked him:
- Do you like something to do with Philadelphia?
- Yes, - he said - I was brought up there.
- Yes - I said - but you left home at fifteen years.
- True - he said, starting to wonder what is happening.
- If you let me touch on this - I continued, - I believe that you were disappointed in his mother.
- No, no, doctor. I love my mother.
- Still, I think it disappointed you. Where is she now?
- It houses. It is unhealthy.
- How long it is sick?
- Almost all his life. I am caring for her when he was still a young boy.
- What it is?
- She was always nervous. Half disability.
- So, in this sense it and disappoint you, is not it? It was supposed to get you emotional support, rather than provide it to you, and it was from the very childhood.
- True, the doctor, so it was.
At this point, entered by another person, and I invited him to sit down. He sat on the floor with his back to the wall, said nothing, but listened with great interest.
- I have the impression that your father does not affect you, starting with nine years or so.
- He was a drunkard. I think I was about nine, when he gash stronger.
The conversation that was longer than his description, because it is often interrupted intervals of silence, during which I grope their conclusions.
A person who enters later, asked me to tell anything, and about him.
- Well, - I said - it seems to me that your father was very strict with you. You have to help him on the farm. You never walked with him on hunting or fishing. You have to go myself, with fairly serious guys.
- True.
- He started insulting scold you when you were about seven.
- Yes, because my mother died when I was six, it could be.
- You were very close with his mother?
- Yes, very much.
- So the death of her left you more or less at the mercy of your father ill?
- Probably, yes.
- You are annoyances to your wife.
- Well, well. We are divided.
- When you married her, she was about sixteen and a half.
- True.
- And you were about nineteen and a half, when you married her.
- True.
- I was wrong no more than six months?
He thought for a moment, considerations, and then replied:
- Both true with an error less than two months.
There was a long silence, as happened before, but this time I felt that the intuitive feeling of slipping away from me, and said:
- Well, my friends, that's all I can.
- Doctor - said the second person - as you can guess my age?
- I think today I am not set up to guess age.
- Well, try it, doc!
- I do not think I can but try. In September, you will turn twenty-four.
- Thirty-, in October.
I chose these two cases of a large number of mainly due to the fact that these people have agreed to appear later at the regular weekly meeting of Doctors Hospital, where they verified the authenticity of my observations. (At this meeting, I argued for the fact that early emotional experience for the individual left their traces not only on his personality, but on his muscles, especially in the muscles of the face, and these two men came up to the ideal case.)
Most of these observations have emerged as a result of intuition or, more precisely, what doctors call "clinical intuition." Just as the old family doctor knew how to recognize and diagnose typhoid "nyuhom" because often encountered in his long experience with this disease, observation may be a psychiatrist, and nowadays a lot to learn about their patients in an intuitive way. As he sees patients all the time and asked about their age, marital status, home life, the nature of their parents and so on, we should expect that with time he should develop the ability to very good guess at his eyes.
This ability provides not only psychiatrists or physicians in general. A professional gets thumbs up in their intuition. Professional ugadyvateli age and weight, the speakers at fairs and festivals, with the help of this intuition earn a living, they develop their practice and experience. The average person is also able to accurately determine the age and weight, but hardly anyone will be able to explain exactly how it came to such conclusions. Even the portrait artists, accustomed to play the most visible signs, of which extracts the information can not explain how they know the difference between a man of twenty-four and twenty-six years.
It is important to note further that we can know something without being able to explain how the words, as we know, yet know so very confident. This is evident in the first case above, when I knew that the mother of the man disappoint him. I was so confident in his knowledge, that insisted on it when it was denied, and eventually proved right. On the other hand, the gross error in determining the age of another person, after I just угадал more difficult things, shows that without the assistance of intuition, even an experienced observer can easily stay on track.
These impressions are not subject to the laws of chance. This is not as if people guess some time coincidence. If there is "some feeling", he is rarely wrong. If this sense of not, the speculation and in fact, obey the laws of chance. If you try to guess the age at which fifteen people leaving home, and correctly guess two or three cases, it does not seem to another experience, when guess different things about fifteen people, and almost one hundred per cent of cases without error. That is why these things are so difficult to learn. They can not call on demand. The feeling that you are "in shock" comes only from time to time, and then disappears.
