Is “following your intuition� the ability to harmonize your reason and your morality?
Most people unconsciously give priority to one or the other in cases where the two necessarily conflict. In case like this, humans are capable of solving the dilemma using opposing solutions, which can both be deemed “right�. This may be good enough for some people, but not me. Humans can operate on a higher principle. I would tell you what that was, except it is simply unintelligible. At this point in human evolution, we do not have such experience or knowledge of this faculty that can translate into something we would call concrete. Although it is ill defined, people use it all the time in all cultures. It’s how people react when they aren’t thinking about it. It’s above the reach of your thoughts, unfortunately our thoughts still have control over our bodies, and we do not rely entirely on this faculty labeled intuition.
For example, I think Jesus was someone who could stop his mind and live on higher-level circuits. I think he was labeled God because he did in fact live on a higher level than the average human, but he alone did not hold the potential. He taught his skills to his prophets, and they went around performing similar miracles. I think all humans are God, or at least have godly potential. Jesus happened to be better suited than the average man is.
So next time you have a tough decision to make, just make it for once without trying to work it out in your head ahead of time.
