Intuition

We , especially women, receive hunches, cautionary alerts and flashes of insight into what we are encountering and dealing with.

Are these truth messages from God a felt response or emotive conduit for receiving divine messages? Or are these flashes primarily the end products that seem emotive but are mostly the finished result of bold, clean chains of reasoning? This route of divine communication is likely what medieval ethicists referred to as rational intuiton.

The science of psychology is still lacking in sufficient knowledge or sensitive enough instrumentation to detect and determine precisely the nature of the pathway of communicated insights sent from God or the universe to willing and unwilling recipients.

I would clumsily categorize these messages as emotive and rational, the two kinds of intuition that overlap and yet both exist.

As a moderate epistemologist, I suggest that these categories are adequate for characterizing something as complex and beyond comprehending as the nature of God's mind, and which are the modes and routes of communication to interested, indifferent or untrained recipients of such flashes.
