There are two ways of answering
questions that seek to know an abstract concept...
To point at instances, examples, and
sayings of great ones,.... and from where, one can try to arrive at
a surmised meaning.... a derived explanation.... and then try to
grasp the concept....
...
There is another way also.... to just
try to put it as best as possible into words, from which a person can
work one's way out, trying to use the idea as a workable experience
on oneself!
....
The efficacy of these is highly
subjective..... and if so the choice too has to be individualistic
too!
...
I did like to take a look at a very
general question from a 'practical' point of view!
The question seemed about 'trapping
intuition' rather than 'tapping' intuition!
(Somebody else had also given an answer
which was 'technically' wonderful, and full of valuable quotes and
details from great men.... I was tempted to even copy it down
here... but was not quite sure of the 'permission' of its
author..... I tried an answer that an 'aam aadmi' can perhaps
'attempt' to ..... “do-it-yourself” ...!!! And,
understandably, I try to turn every query as a reference to some kind
of spiritual persuasion !)

Question:
People say trust your instinct &
listen to intuition - but how do I know what my instinct &
intuition say?
People says do what your heart
says
People says trust your instinct and follow your instinct
People also says that listen to your intuition
But how do I know what my heart want, what my instinct says and what is my intuition
How to get over that confusion

My answer:
If we know what logic is... very
clearly.... then, half the problem is solved!
Intuitiveness transcends logic often....
It requires reasoning (not logic alone) to even 'consider' looking at intuitive 'feelings'!
...
There is no logic when we like a painting... when we like to keep looking at a rainbow for a while...
There is no logic when we get tears, looking at somebody 'else' in great pain or grief...
But, what we feel here is the manifest form of intuition... called emotion... That intuition is something that we have to allow to surface in its 'original' form (may be even as a non-verbal-thought)... not quite easy.... that is why we have fewer of intuitive people... most of those who do have such gut-feelings, are not able to have it 'at will' or consciously.... it just happens!
...
(Now, please try to find out if it is a sheer coincidence that spiritual people are 'befriended' by this intuitive instinct too often, or rather in an unfailing manner?)
